When Yang Liufang walked out of the hotel after washing, the hotel owner happened to come in from the door.
"Mr. Yang, are you awake?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. How did I get here yesterday?"
"Mr. Li and Manager Qin sent you back, saying that you had a few too many drinks at your supply and marketing cooperative's year-end dinner."
"I'm not ashamed."
"No, no, you were asleep when they sent you here."
"That's good."
"How's it going? Is it OK for me to decorate here? The furniture is all purchased from our factory. Mr. Shi personally took the measurements and customized it for each room."
"Well, let me tell you, it's clean and comfortable."
"Then don't forget to allocate more people to our hotel for this year's trade fair."
"Oh, it's still early."
"No way. I heard from people at the Tourism Bureau that they have been notified and they want to send people to the organizing committee?"
"Oh, I haven't received the notice yet. I will try my best when I get the notice." Yang Liufang shook hands with the hotel owner and said goodbye. As soon as he walked out of the door, a cold wind hit him and he felt that he was wearing thin clothes. Remembering that my car was not there, I hurried back to the hotel and called the supply and marketing cooperative at the front desk to arrange for someone to deliver the car. Qin Jiajun drove Yang Liufang's car to pick him up. The two returned to the supply and marketing cooperative, and Yang Liufang began to convene a meeting with the management team. Now that the large conference room upstairs in their sales department has been opened, it is only a conference room for 20 people. Yang Liufang felt that the meetings there were empty. He was still used to holding meetings in Li Tongfu's office, although there was no appearance of a meeting. But he, Li Tongfu, Wang Yanhua, Qin Jiajun, and Wang Shan sometimes let Wang Xinye take meeting minutes at most, so Li Tongfu's office was enough.
"Let me talk about two things first. Let's see how we deal with it. Let's talk about the furniture factory first. We originally paid 1,200 yuan as compensation for 30 acres of land, but some villagers were unwilling to accept it, and some gave it back. We also returned it. The representative made a request, saying that the villagers who were occupied by the land should recruit one person from each family to work in the factory."
"Ah, 30 people can be hired at once? You can't hold so many positions."
"That's not okay. Not to mention the salary of 30 people, social security is a huge amount."
"What can these people do? Furniture factories now only have lathes, table saws, and women working on screws. The loaders and unloaders are all assigned one carrot at a time."
Several people made various analyzes and each had their own reasons.
"Brother, how is the recruitment process at the leather factory?"
"Basically, we have recruited all the jobs. The first batch of leather has been put into storage, and the engineers from Guangzhou have finished debugging the equipment. We are ready to start construction on the sixth day of the new year."
"Where's the mechanic?"
"There are no technicians. Xin Ye and Zhang Feng learned from the engineers."
"That's it, brother, you can select five or six junior high school graduates out of thirty people, let Xin Ye and Zhang Feng train them, teach them on site, and retain them after they learn the skills."
"Okay, this will free Xinye to concentrate on the factory's financial work. At the same time, he will continue to assist Yanhua."
"Then I also want six here, but our industrial and trading company does not provide dormitories like furniture factories and leather factories. I also want junior high school graduates, and I want to be eloquent. Next year we will work hard on the sales of broken bridge aluminum doors and windows. .”
"Okay, so 12 of them will go out. And you mentioned the dormitory. The dormitory is recruiting cleaners, and each factory dormitory will be allocated two."
"Can the supply and marketing cooperative recruit porters?" Qin Jiajun asked.
"It's still a matter of accommodation. They are all from rural areas. If they rent a house in Xizhou, they can't afford the rent. They might as well find porters in the market." Li Tongfu said.
"Brother Qin, are there any cheap places to rent around here? If not, rent them a dormitory."
"Okay, I'll do this in the next two days. Then I'll need four. This way we don't have to find other porters for normal shipping and unloading, including going upstairs."
"Let's put the remaining 10 in the furniture factory. This matter has been resolved. Can the other one, brother, Yanhua, still be allowed in the cafeteria?"
"You have to ask, what's wrong?"
"The master's son used to take over his class. Now that the factory is in recession and the canteen needs to be outsourced, he asked Bangbang to arrange for him to work in the canteen of our supply and marketing cooperative. He is getting married soon, and it's not good to have no job."
"Brother, you are so warm-hearted and don't consider our situation. From now on, you can leave it to me or Shi Fang and Wang Shan to handle such small matters. Forget about the supply and marketing cooperative's canteen, it also involves housing. What did you just say? He said he is getting married, so we can’t provide them with a wedding room, or let him go to the tannery canteen, where I feel Secretary Wang’s relative is not suitable.”
"Oh, I forgot. When I signed the agreement with them, I said he only had management rights. Yes, yes." Yang Liufang nodded and said, "Oh, and the master's unmarried daughter-in-law is Wang Qingchuan. Yes, I have learned sewing from my parents since I was a child, so I just let them go there together."
"Oh, you brought one along with you. Okay, I won't do this next time."
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, I have something to do here. Is the motorcycle reward that Mr. Yang mentioned last night true?"
"Really, I didn't drink too much. The harvest has been good in the past year. It may be a bit difficult for one person to have one, but it is still possible for one family to have one."
"What about Zhang Feng and Wang Xinye?"
"When you get married, take your marriage certificate and ask them to come to you to pick up the motorcycle. Or you can just give them as a bride price when you get married."
"Okay. Old Qin, Zhang Feng is under your control. You can inform him."
"okay."
"Is there anything else everyone needs to discuss?"
"Gone".......
"Then let's adjourn the meeting. I'm going to learn how to drive. I need to get my textbook as soon as possible."
Yang Liufang bought a pack of cigarettes at the supply and marketing cooperative and went to the bank to find a driver who taught him how to drive. He practiced driving for an entire afternoon. The driver taught him very attentively. Yang Liufang, who drives every day, is already very skilled. However, the test procedure is such that he also I had no choice but to learn from the coach honestly. When the bank driver got off work, Yang Liufang drove back to the furniture factory by himself.
The new dormitory has been opened and equipped with white radiators. Unlike other single dormitories, Yang Liufang occupied a suite on the third floor of the office building and left an identical suite for Li Tongfu next to it. He simply washed up in the dormitory, then went downstairs to the cafeteria to eat, just in time to tell the master the good news.
On the way from the dormitory to the cafeteria, the workers greeted him respectfully, reminding him of the scene when those workers met Jiesheng in Jiesheng's factory at the beginning of the year. It hasn't even been a year yet, and he also enjoyed this. Such treatment, he nodded and smiled at every employee who greeted him. Everyone walked to the cafeteria together. In the cafeteria, when the master heard about Yang Liufang's arrangement, he felt grateful again. He also heard that the leather factory could provide them with dormitories. The master's mother-in-law was moved to tears and said that she must tell her son and let him work hard and not give it to Boss Yang. Shameful.
The people selected by Secretary Shitou from the occupied villagers' homes reported to the furniture factory on the third day. The six junior high school students and two women who went to the leather factory were picked up and taken away by Zhang Feng in a truck. The 10 people who went to Xizhou Industrial and Trade Company and Supply and Marketing Cooperative were also picked up by Qin Jiajun, and the remaining 12 people stayed in the furniture factory. Except for two women who were assigned to the dormitory to do cleaning, Shi Fang put the rest of them, regardless of their education level and knowledge. Technical unified arrangements to work as porters.
"We are from the same village, and your parents are also my uncles and brothers, but I tell you, you must endure hardships to become a great person. My senior brother and I, who will teach you techniques and take you out to see the world, They all started out as porters. Now our Simmons tension spring masters can not only tension springs, but also cut materials for office furniture. We are also a porter. I hope you can also start as a porter at the bottom step by step. , and finally make a show of it.”
After everyone listened to Shi Fang's lecture, they went to the factory warehouse to collect their work clothes and then disappeared to various positions.
The New Year was coming in a blink of an eye. Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu did not ask Zhang Feng to go to the train station to grab tickets for them like in previous years. They wanted to take turns driving back by themselves. The cars in the factory have been booked long ago, and everyone is rushing to get married at the end of the year. Especially the master chef, who had already decided on three trucks and one car in the factory. He is an old man in the factory. His son is good at craftsmanship. He works hard in the canteen of the tannery factory and is very popular among the people in the factory. So he proposed to use the car. Qin Jiajun agreed to him without hesitation. Unlike other people who need to pay money to use the car. , he also asked Yang Liufang to waive the car expenses for the master's family.
Shi Fang also borrowed a car from the factory to get married, just to let Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu witness their marriage. They chose to hold the wedding on the sixth day of the new year. In fact, the motorcycle supply and marketing cooperative Yanhua and the others have already purchased the motorcycles that are awarded to families as a unit, and according to Yang Liufang's intention, they will be distributed directly to them. However, Zhang Feng is a soldier and is unwilling to break the principle at all. He has to wait for himself to get it. Bring your marriage certificate to pick up the car.
Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu took turns driving. They started from Xizhou and took the national highway all the way. People stopped and the car kept stopping. It took them three days to get home. The two were so tired that their backs ached and their legs cramped, and they complained to each other that they would never drive back again in the coming year. However, the only advantage of driving is that there is no need to change trains from Hangzhou. The two of them took a trunk with northwest specialties and drove all the way. In addition to eating in some strange towns and going to the toilet at a gas station, they drove all the way to Yang City, Yueqing. own home.
When the car stopped at the door, Father Yang got them a whip and set it off at the door. Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu got out of the car, and together with their parents, they took out a whole sheep from the trunk that had been cut in half by Secretary Shitou, as well as more than 20 kilograms of beef braised by Aunt Shitou, and a box of beef that Uncle Han brought back to them. Lily, a specialty of Xizhou.
The two locked the car, packed their things, and followed their parents into the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard. A table of dishes had been prepared and waiting for them in the main room.
