Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
Almost all the leadership of Wahou is here, including Zhu Ping, Liang Wan, Luan Changyuan, and the team accountants Song Shuangxi and Wan Feng.
There are two other people, one is Yu Jiadong, the captain of the Third Construction Team, and the other is the accountant of the Third Construction Team.
If the machinery factory wants to separate the agricultural machinery part, it needs a new factory building, and this piece of land becomes the first choice.
Everyone was talking at once and expressing their opinions. The civilized term was "collective wisdom and collective effort", but in fact they were just a group of blind advisors and poor doers.
Having money means you can do whatever you want. Yu Jiadong's original suggestion was to build an ordinary factory building with a wall outside, but it was directly rejected by Zhu Ping.
"In the future, more businesses will be established in Waihou, and this land might become a factory. Now that we've built it, we should finish it all at once. Any future business can just move in and be done with it. So I suggest building a three-story building directly."
Wow! They really look rich, but now two floors are too short, this is going to go up to the sky!
Wan Feng secretly complained in his heart.
However, he did not express any objection. The money was public money and it would be a waste not to build it. So he might as well build it now while the building materials and labor costs were cheap.
In a few years, the money spent on building a building now will probably only be enough to build half a building in four or five years.
Prices will start to change next year. This will probably be the first price fluctuation in decades. They will then slowly rise, and there will be a peak in prices in the 1990s.
So it’s time to spend it now, otherwise it will depreciate if you keep it.
Wan Feng only proposed to build a small industrial park, but unfortunately the place was a bit small, otherwise a larger industrial park could be built.
This suggestion was adopted.
The next step is the planning and accounting of the industrial park.
Wan Feng didn't worry about this because what he had to worry about was going back.
It is almost the end of August now, and he plans to return to Heilongjiang before the crackdown begins to avoid unnecessary trouble on the road.
"At the end of this month, around the 25th or 26th, we're going to start a strict crackdown. Make sure you keep a close eye on the workers. Don't let them go out after 6 p.m., remember?"
The people who heard Wan Feng's words were Luan Feng and Jiang Min.
Wan Feng guessed that Luan Feng would hear it in one ear and the other, so he was mainly talking to Jiang Min.
Jiang Min is responsible for managing the logistics of the garment factory and is the main person in charge.
Of course Wan Feng had to tell her.
"When necessary, we should use harsher measures. If fines are needed, we should impose them. If expulsions are needed, we should fire them without hesitation. As long as the storm has passed and the situation is over, we can just put it off until after the New Year."
The crackdown will be most severe in the first one or two months, and will gradually relax as time goes by, so it will be fine after the first two months.
"When will you be back in winter?"
See? It's just like playing the lute to a donkey. This is what Luan Feng cares about.
"I'll be back during winter break."
"Then you must come back during winter vacation."
This woman is so nagging.
Wan Feng told Zhang Hai and the leadership of Wahou about the crackdown again, and gave Zhang Xian special instructions.
He has already taken preventive measures. As long as the people here are careful, the losses should be minimized.
Before leaving, Wan Feng went to visit several companies that he had started with borrowed money.
The factory opened by my uncle-in-law in the Waqian team headquarters is the one that is making the fastest progress. Baijing contacted the factory immediately after Wanfeng placed the order. Because it is in the same province, the equipment was sent a few days later and has now been installed and is being tested.
The machine has already received orders before it has even been tested.
The first order, of course, came from Wanfeng, who ordered five thousand small corrugated cardboard boxes for packing tape recorders.
The second order came from a shoe factory, which ordered large cardboard boxes that could hold dozens or even dozens of pairs of shoes.
In addition, he makes cartons of suitable specifications and sells them at the market. Wan Feng believes that this small carton factory will definitely prosper.
My second uncle’s plastic products factory is located in the yard of Pingshan Brigade, and the annual rent is 1,500 yuan.
The factory has been renovated and the machines have just arrived but have not yet been installed.
When Wan Feng arrived, technicians from the manufacturer were installing the machine.
The plastic products factory is divided into two parts: plastic bottles and plastic bags.
The plastic bottles are of course made for Jiangwei Beverage Factory, but there is no need to worry about the sales of the plastic bags. They just need to be processed and distributed at the market.
Wan Feng didn't say anything here. As long as the factory can produce qualified products, there is no doubt that it will make money.
After visiting these two small factories, Wan Feng went to Liu Yang's small factory.
This is the company from which he has borrowed the most money, so of course he has to take a closer look. What if Liu Yang wastes his money?
Liu Yang's company has the slowest progress. So far, only the lathe ordered in Bohai City has arrived, and the rest of the equipment is said to be on the way.
His factory was built in the northeast corner of the machinery factory yard. There was nothing to clean up in the factory building, as it was all ready.
When Wan Feng came in, he saw two new beds installed there, and Liu Yang was teaching the workers he hired to make the original parts of the piston rings.
Just this lathe and milling machine cost more than 40,000 yuan, which is more expensive than the other two pieces of equipment Liu Yang wanted.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see your factory open."
Liu Yang also stayed in Wahou for a long time and knew that Wan Feng was going back to study.
"I just don't understand why you would return to that remote place like Longjiang to study. Wouldn't it be better for you to study here in Beiliao?"
"I have a purpose for studying there. When I graduate, something big will happen in the north. Besides making money, I want to bring back some equipment and high-end talent, craftsmen of level eight or above. I can't get them back home."
Liu Yang was shocked. "Above level eight? Are you serious?"
Their Shijiazhuang Tractor Factory, which includes complete machines and parts, is such a big factory but only has one eighth-level craftsman. And this guy is targeting those above eighth level and wants to bring back a batch?
"That's a few years from now. I can't say whether it will work out now. We'll talk about it when the time comes. Even though I'm not here, you'll still feel like you're at home here. Do what you need to do. If anyone wants to make things difficult for you, just mention my name."
Liu Yang was not worried about this, as he thought he would not be bullied by others here.
After caring about others, it’s time to care about your own products.
His small assembly plant is now very efficient, with a daily output guaranteed to be around 70 units. One third of the 3,000 movements he first imported have already been consumed.
During the time he had been back, this inconspicuous little assembly plant had already generated a profit of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan for him.
Among all his relatives, only his uncle who works for him does not have his own business.
Don’t worry, Wan Feng won’t treat him unfairly. He will just choose one for him in the future!
