"Brother, how was the office chair discussion?" Yang Liufang was not as familiar with an advanced southern city as two employees who had never seen the world before. What he is thinking about most is projects in factories and supply and marketing cooperatives.
"This batch of 100 chairs is still finished, and along with it are 100 hydraulic rods, which were shipped yesterday. We will process the base and seat surface ourselves in the future."
"Great, how much cost savings can we make this way?"
"We have communicated with the Xizhou Plastics Factory for the base and back of the chair, but their quotation has not yet come out. The sponge, lining and facing are basically the same as the sofa cushions, so we can make them ourselves."
"Well, how is the progress of the furniture factory? When can we move in?"
"It was painted yesterday. It is recommended that the stone should be left to dry for two days and ventilated to prevent the boards and profiles from deforming and rusting due to moisture after being put in. I think the profiles from the industry and trade company haven't come out yet, so it's a good idea to dry them like this."
"Okay, let Yanhua go check out the workers quickly and let them devote all their efforts to the construction of the warehouse, because once production is put into production, we will need warehouse storage. Now that we have money, we must give full play to our financial advantages and speed up construction. Let's go, look Look at the supply and marketing cooperative cafeteria.”
Led by Li Tongfu, the group walked from the street-facing stairs outside the sales department to the supply and marketing cooperative canteen under construction on the second floor. In order to save space and make room for the internal store, they built the stairs outside, so you need to go around to the canteen. When walking around the stairs, Yang Liufang always felt awkward. The stairs were built outside to attract some outside diners, but it was inconvenient for the internal staff of the supply and marketing cooperative to eat. Their hardware sales department was okay. After all, the canteen was upstairs. It's a relatively short walk, but other stores are further away. Even some staff members are very tired after selling out the goods. Because they go far away, they may choose to eat in nearby shops. At the same time, internal shopping staff will also be restricted in eating.
"Brother, I think it's too far. Wang Shan, you are very sensitive to sales. What do you think?"
"I think many customers won't come here to eat because they go a long way. Just like we rarely come to the canteen to eat because we go a long way. Of course, the food in the state-owned canteen is also terrible."
"Well, I feel the same way. Brother, if it doesn't work, we will abandon part of the internal space and build a staircase inside. Just follow the original route of the canteen for the internal staff. The stair entrance will remain on the original route so that the internal staff can still get used to it. For sex, it’s just a matter of going upstairs via the stairs to eat.”
"Then the space in the office and financial room will be occupied."
"Move the financial room upstairs, expand a part of it upstairs, and build a conference room. Only a general manager's office that doubles as a reception room is left downstairs."
"Well, at first it was because of financial constraints, but now we have the funds to build it like this."
"Okay, come and communicate with the construction team. The later additions should not affect what has been built. The canteen can be put into trial operation first. Have the tables, chairs and stonework been communicated?"
"not yet."
"Shi Yong, before the profiles and chairs arrive, you and Shi Fang will start making the tables and chairs for the canteen tomorrow, which will be the same as our factory canteen."
"Okay Master."
It was already noon when the group of people visited the cafeteria. When they came down, it was just in time for dinner. Yang Liufang wanted to treat everyone to a meal, so everyone ordered one portion. Zhang Feng clamored that he wanted to try the salted duck, a specialty of Nanjing. Yang Liufang asked him to take out one and asked the restaurant to cut it into pieces for everyone to share when they went to get their meals.
After the food was retrieved, Qin Jiajun, Yanhua, Wang Shan and Yinhua, and even Zhang Feng and Wang Xinye hid in the corner and ate facing each other. Only Yang Liufang and his elder brother Li Tongfu were left alone, sitting in the furniture hall with plastic sheets. Eat on new furniture.
In the afternoon, Xizhou Plastics Factory called to give a quote. Together, they found that a chair can save 25 yuan compared to buying finished products. If you order a large quantity from the plastics factory, you can save part of it. Yang Liufang asked his brother and Yanhua to go to the plastic factory to sign the contract in the afternoon. Let them rush production and don't delay the arrival of 100 hydraulic rods for use.
"Then who will take you back to the factory?"
“Has my motorcycle been repaired?”
"You're still riding a motorcycle! Did you forget it when you fell into a ditch last time? It's not safe!" Brother half blamed and half dissuaded.
"It's okay, brother. I didn't have a good rest last time because I was worried about money. It won't happen this time. There is also a duck left for you to send to President Li. I will go to the industry and trade company in a while to give one to Director Yan. By the way, I would like to remind you about the profiles and ask them to inspect them as soon as they come off the production line." After Yang Liufang's instructions, everyone split up.
Shi Yong tied the gifts brought from Nanjing, Master, and his own luggage bags to both sides of the motorcycle. Yang Liufang got on the motorcycle, picked up Shi Yong, and set off. After arriving at the industrial and trading company, I delivered Nanjing specialties to Director Yan. I didn’t stop too much and continued on my bike. He did not take a shortcut, but walked along the Yellow River Bridge, around the river beach road and back to Hongtu Village. Before entering the village, I went to the tannery factory site. The construction site, which had not been popular for more than a week, had already grown grass, covering the low tents. Red bricks were piled haphazardly on the ground. It was a dilapidated area except for newly planted willow trees. On the contrary, it is full of life. As soon as Yang Liufang arrived at the construction site, the villagers had already reported the news to Secretary Wang, who sent Accountant Li to come quickly on a motorcycle.
"Boss Yang, are you back?"
"Well, I'm back. Don't worry, come and take a look."
"How was the harvest?"
"Very good, are we going to open a new production line?"
"So you have sufficient funds? Will this factory also start construction?"
"Yes, construction is ready to start. Next week, it will start next week. Hey, do we still owe the brick factory money now?"
"I don't owe it anymore. It's enough to deduct part of the labor insurance payment for the batch of labor insurance on the 26th of last month."
"That's good. Let's go see Secretary Wang." After saying that, he started the motorcycle and rushed to Hongtuzhuang Village Committee.
When he arrived at the village committee, Yang Liufang presented Nanjing specialties. The secretary was very happy and asked about his harvest. Yang Liufang made a report and said that he would start the construction of the factory.
"Okay, this will put your mind at ease. If we need any cooperation from you, please tell me."
"Thank you, secretary, for causing you trouble." The two of them exchanged pleasantries with Yang Liufang before leaving.
He was riding a motorcycle on the river beach road. The treated Zhaomagou River was full of water. After two years of growth, the beheaded willows on both sides were as thick as arms. They had stabilized their roots because there was no need to transport and wash sand. After the drainage, the river water became clear, there was no floating in the air, and there was a fresh breath.
Soon we arrived at Zhaomachuan. In the past, Zhaomachuan was as quiet and silent as all the northwest rural areas because of the traffic coming and going on the battlefield. After crossing the bridge, we headed towards the road leading to Wangshawan. The sand pits left by sand excavation on both sides of the road were filled with water, just like the fish ponds in my hometown, except that there were no melodious and quiet weeping willows around. Passing through Wangshawan is the road leading to Shige Village. Farmers on both sides of the farmland are busy in the afternoon sun, and high-pitched Xintianyou music can be heard from time to time in the fields. Yang Liufang recalled that when Brother Shitou drove him to Wangshawan to sell goods in a donkey cart, Brother Shitou sang the scenes of Xintianyou with a high voice and heavy shoulders, and couldn't help laughing.
Yang Liufang entered the village from the back. He first went to Secretary Shitou's house and knocked on the door. It was opened by Gawa. Gawa, who was already in the first grade of elementary school, called her "Uncle Yang" sensibly. Yang Liufang handed the salted duck to him, and he carried it to his mother. Aunt Shitou warmly invited Yang Liufang to come in and sit down, saying that Brother Shitou was watching everyone working on the factory site. Yang Liufang was concerned about the construction site, so he didn't go in. He went to the construction site to have a look first, and then took Shi Yong back to the factory.
As soon as I left the village, I saw a busy construction site. The new factory building stood on a large piece of land. Because the area was too large, even though it was four meters high, it still looked low on the ground, and it looked low on the dozens of acres of land. It is very small, surrounded by newly planted willow trees. Although it is small, it still looks full of vitality. A little further away from the factory, you can hear the sound of cutting wood and the crackling sound of the steam nail gun. Yang Liufang likes this sound very much, like a harmonious sonata.
Yang Liufang drove the motorcycle straight to the door where Shi Fang was working. When Shi Fang saw the master coming back, he hurriedly signaled to turn off the cutting machine. He also stopped the air nail gun in his hand and became quiet instantly. There was only the sound of workers laughing and joking in the distance and building walls.
"Master, Senior Brother, are you back?"
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Shi Fang, how are you doing?"
"Master, the boards were shipped yesterday, and the 100 matching cabinets are ready. Once the chairs arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the goods can be shipped out. 10 cabinets have been made today."
"Okay. Tomorrow you and your senior brother will make the tables and chairs for the supply and marketing cooperative's canteen first, just like our canteen."
"Okay Master." Shi Yong also put down his luggage and immediately got into work.
"Everyone should be busy." Yang Liufang said and pushed the motorcycle into the factory. The sound of cutting boards and nailing cabinets could be heard outside again.
The goods sent from Yiwu arrived the next afternoon. It was Qin Jiajun, Zhang Feng, and his own soldiers who had been hired for a long time by the supply and marketing cooperative that Qin Jiajun found, and a total of three trucks brought them back. Yanhua also came with the car. She not only brought the workers' wages, but also the camera and the developed photos of them in Nanjing.
The loaders unloaded the goods directly to the new workshop. To prevent moisture, they also brought a roll of plastic sheeting with the vehicle and spread it underneath. Yanhua went to the construction site to find Secretary Shitou and said that he would settle the wages for the new factory. The workers cheered in unison, and Yang Liufang could feel everyone's joy in the factory.
Together with Secretary Shitou and the village accountant, the work day and project quantities were checked in the canteen. Yang Liufang walked over and communicated with the village chief Shitou, asking him to find ingenious people in the village, Wangshawan and Zhaomagou to assemble it. office chair. The two also discussed a piece rate, and they would pay 2 yuan for a chair assembled, and the wages would be paid daily.
"There is no one in our village. Those who can work are currently working in various positions in the factory. Those who carry bricks and dust on the construction site are all women from our village. Some of the clever ones can paint walls. And the salary is 20 yuan a day. It’s better than assembling a chair.”
"Then look for them all from Wangshawan and Zhaomagou. They have a lot of labor force."
"Okay, I'll call my father-in-law and Yinhua soon. Let them recruit people to work for us."
