The next day. Early morning!
When Zhou Yang woke up to the harsh whistles, he subconsciously looked at the place next to him.
Usually when he wakes up, his wife and several children are usually asleep.
But today, there was nothing but the cold Kang cloth around him, making it look particularly deserted.
Zhou Yang got up from the bed, sat on the kang and was stunned for a while, and then started to put on clothes and fold the kang (folding quilts)!
In the past, Li Youwei did all these things, but now Zhou Yang can only do it himself.
After simply washing his face with cold water, Zhou Yang came to the yard.
Chen Beixuan had already gotten up and was cleaning the snow in the yard, while Lao Zhang was helping.
After Zhou Yang came out of the house, he immediately said: "Beixuan, stop sweeping and see if the car can be hit!"
"yes!"
After saying that, Chen Beixuan put down the tools in his hands and walked towards the jeep outside the gate.
Then Zhou Yang looked at Lao Zhang and said, "Uncle Zhang, we came back a little late yesterday. You also went to bed, so we didn't go in to disturb you!"
"I have arranged for Wenhui and Baoer to go to the elementary school affiliated to Beijing University. Wenhui will go directly to the third grade and Baoer will go to the second grade!"
The main reason why I told Lao Zhang this was because he really regarded Wen Hui as his own grandson, and he was also very good to Bao'er, so he should talk to him about the situation of the children.
"I heard from Xiao Chen, it's pretty good!" Lao Zhang said with a smile.
"Are you still used to staying at the printing factory?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"It's okay. Two days ago, I compiled all the college entrance examination questions from all provinces and cities across the country this year and made a question book. According to Director Chen, the sales are pretty good!" Lao Zhang said.
"That's good, but you are busy with work, so you still have to take care of yourself and don't tire yourself out!" Zhou Yang said.
"It's okay, no matter what, I have to persist until our Hope School is built, and I won't fall before that!" Lao Zhang said with a smile.
"Well, Daya Bay Hope Primary School will start construction after spring, and it will be almost completed in June. Then I will personally take you there to have a look!" Zhou Yang said.
"That's great, hahaha..."
Just as he was talking, a roar of a car engine suddenly came from the gate. It was Chen Beixuan who started the car.
It is indeed a miracle that the 212 Little Jeep can survive in this weather.
Zhou Yang immediately said: "Let's go, Uncle Zhang. I'll take you to the printing factory. I'll talk to Old Chen about something by the way!"
"good!"
Lao Zhang did not refuse. After all, he was really old now and his legs and feet were very inconvenient.
It snowed heavily outside again today. Although the snow has stopped now, the road is still difficult to walk.
If he went there by himself, he might have to walk for a while.
Soon the two of them locked the door of their house and courtyard, then got in the car and went straight to the printing factory here in Xiaohewan!
As soon as they arrived in front of the printing factory, Zhou Yang and Chen Beixuan were shocked by the scene at the gate.
I saw a long row of large trucks stretching from the entrance of the village to the entrance of the printing factory. There were more than 20 trucks in neat rows.
It's quite shocking to see so many large trucks in a small rural village these days.
In the jeep, Zhou Yang looked at the long motorcade outside the window and asked with some surprise: "Uncle Zhang, aren't all these trucks coming to the printing factory to pull books?"
Lao Zhang smiled and said, "No, it's still morning. You wait until noon to see, there will be more cars!"
"Hey, can our printing factory keep up with the printing speed?"
"I don't know about this, but during this period, except for the people in our editorial department, the remaining staff and cadres are working in two shifts, each shift lasts 12 hours. People can rest, but the machines don't work even for a moment. Dare to stop!" Lao Zhang replied.
"It will work if you do it this way. If it goes on for a long time, not to mention that the employees will not be able to bear it, and the machine will also have problems..."
Just as he was talking, the car drove to the entrance of the printing factory and was stopped by the security personnel at the door.
When they saw Zhou Yang coming, the comrades from the security department hurriedly put the car in.
"Director, where are we going now?" Chen Beixuan asked for instructions.
"Go to the cafeteria first. After breakfast, let's go find Director Chen!" Zhou Yang said.
"good!"
Then, Chen Beixuan stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the entrance of the collective canteen in the backyard of the printing factory.
It was the peak time for breakfast, and the cafeteria was full of people.
After seeing Zhou Yang, everyone said hello one after another, and Zhou Yang responded one by one.
It was already half past seven after breakfast. After Zhou Yang and Chen Beixuan sent Lao Zhang to the editorial department of the printing factory, they walked to the factory director's office one after another.
The office door was ajar, and there were snores coming from inside.
Zhou Yang didn't knock on the door, just opened the door and walked in!
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a person lying on the desk. It was Chen Shang, and it was him who made the snoring sound.
Taking a closer look, I saw that Chen Shang was not only wearing thick cotton clothes, but also wrapped in a military coat.
In addition to various documents on the desk, there was half a cup of cold tea and half a leftover roast potato.
There are various signs that Chen Shang did not come here to sleep in the early morning, but slept in the office last night.
"Do you want to wake up Director Chen?" Chen Beixuan asked.
"No, let him sleep a little longer, let's go to the workshop first..."
Before Zhou Yang could finish speaking, Chen Shang raised his head and looked at Zhou Yang and Chen Beixuan with sleepy eyes.
When he recognized Zhou Yang, Chen Shang immediately trembled and said hurriedly: "Director, why are you here?"
"Come here to see what's going on here. Didn't you go home last night?" Zhou Yang said.
Chen Shang shook his head and said, "No, more than twenty units came to pick up the goods yesterday, and each unit required my signature for review. I was busy until two o'clock in the morning."
"Didn't you eat?"
"not yet!"
"Beixuan, go to the cafeteria and bring back some food for Lao Chen..."
"No... no, I'll just go over and eat later. I won't bother Comrade Chen..."
"Okay, let him go, tell me about the situation in the factory first!" Zhou Yang said.
"OK!"
Then Chen Shang took off his cotton coat, rubbed his eyes and said, "Since the college entrance examination materials printed by our printing factory were reported by the provincial newspaper, sales have skyrocketed. But because we were prepared, we still I can handle it!"
"But after the above officially issued the notice for this year's college entrance examination a week ago, and it was confirmed that the college entrance examination will be held in mid-to-late July, the printing factory's orders have increased sharply. Now Xinhua Bookstores in more than 20 provinces have ordered various college entrance examinations from our printing factory. material!"
"So how many goods have been shipped so far, and how much money has been recovered?"
The most important purpose of Zhou Yang's visit this time is to see how much money the printing factory has withdrawn. After all, there are too many places where they will spend money on research.
"From the end of the New Year to now, we have sold 450,000 sets of various book series and more than 2 million copies of various test papers, and the funds recovered have exceeded 5 million!" Chen Shang said with a proud face.
"so much?"
Zhou Yang was also a little surprised when he heard this answer.
You must know that it has only been a month and a half since the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect that they would get so much money back for the office.
Co-author of the entire Babao Liang Research Institute, the most profitable one is actually this printing factory?
Chen Shang smiled and said: "This is because our production capacity is insufficient. We can only take half of the orders from many units. Otherwise, more funds will be withdrawn!"
"Then can you be busy now? I heard that you now work in two shifts, with one shift lasting only 12 hours?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shang hurriedly said: "It's not that long. Our morning shift starts at seven in the morning and we get off work at seven in the evening. Although it is said to be 12 hours, we have to leave two hours for a meal break in between. time, the normal working time is less than 10 hours.”
"That's also very long!" Zhou Yang said.
"We can't do it this way. Our orders have been queued up until September, so we have to work overtime to make them!"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, "If that doesn't work, just increase the number of printing presses!"
"Not only are there not enough printing machines, we are also short of workers and printing paper, especially printing paper. Qingcheng Paper Mill can no longer meet our needs!" Chen Shangdao.
"You make a list of what's missing and I'll have someone sort it out. Then the money in your account will be sent to the office's finance department as soon as possible. The office may need it next!"
"good!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "During this period, many family members have come to our unit. I will let people check it out. If there are no problems, I will stick to your side. I must reduce the working hours to less than eight hours!"
"Okay, let's go back and do the total!" Chen Shang said.
"Then we've settled this matter..."
Just as he was talking, Chen Beixuan walked in from outside carrying an aluminum lunch box...
