Li Xu said mercilessly, "Your factory currently doesn't have the capacity to engage in research and development. You should think about how to make more money."

The current Tang County Fertilizer Plant has no money and no professional talents in agriculture and fertilizers. Research and development is too far away for it.

Although Li Mei studied economics in college, she also understood this truth, so she could only remain speechless.

Everyone chatted for a while, and when the food was ready, they ate and talked at the same time.

Early the next morning.

The car team drove to the brick factory to transport bricks. While the brick factory workers were loading the trucks, Li Xu and others got off the truck and chatted aside.

Liu Gang was the first to ask, "Xiao Xu, is your elder sister resting at home today?"

Except for Xiao Jianping, the rest of the drivers had family members working at the fertilizer factory. They had already received the news of Li Mei's return last night, so they were not surprised at this moment.

Li Xu shook his head. "I didn't rest. I went to work."

"She's not tired at all after being on a business trip for so many days?" Liu Gang seemed a little surprised.

"My older brother and younger brother are both tired and resting at home. How could she, a woman, not be tired?" Li Xu replied helplessly. "We tried to persuade her for a long time, but she wouldn't listen. She said she had to hurry to the company to arrange work and the fruit seedlings and land. She would ask for leave to rest after she finished this busy period."

Master Wang followed up with praise, "This is the first time I've seen a factory director so dedicated to the welfare of his employees. If all the leaders in each unit could do this, we workers would be blessed."

The purpose of Li Mei's actions had already spread throughout the county and the fertilizer factory.

It is said that there is no harm without comparison.

Compared with leaders of other units, Li Mei is simply the conscience of the leadership community, and she is highly praised for this.

Of course, she also received a lot of abuse and ridicule.

Hearing this, everyone else nodded in agreement and expressed their agreement.

Liu Gang then said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, you have no idea how much pressure your eldest sister's actions have put on the heads of other units. My eldest brother told me that many factory managers have recently applied to the county, saying that they want the county's cooperation so that they can earn money to provide benefits to their employees."

Li Xu was stunned at first, then revealed a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If they have a complete and feasible plan to make money, the county can cooperate. I'm just worried that their plan is just improvised and not feasible at all. Such a plan must not be approved. Otherwise, not only will the unit lose money, but it will also have a negative impact on the county leaders."

"That's right, Lao Liu. I must ask your eldest brother to review it carefully to prevent those units from wasting their money."

"I think those people have bad intentions. They are only interested in competing with Xiao Li's sister for attention, regardless of the consequences."

Liu Gang looked at Li Xu deeply and replied, "The county leaders were very strict in reviewing the money-making plan. They even scolded some people for it, but the news didn't get out."

"If you ask me, we shouldn't scold them. We should remove all these incompetent factory managers." Master Duan grumbled.

"It's easy to remove them, but the problem is where to find replacements? Not everyone is as smart, hardworking, and dedicated to employees as Li Mei." Liu Gang spread his hands and responded helplessly.

Li Xu was speechless. In this way, wouldn't Li Mei be even more ostracized in the factory director's circle?

Although I am not afraid of being excluded, I am afraid that one day when I need help from others, they will not only not help me, but will also add insult to injury.

After the car was loaded with bricks, Li Xu and others drove to the construction site.

At this time, there were more than 500 people on the construction site, most of whom were builders. They didn't have to do anything else except building houses. Among the remaining small half, some were idle people in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the others were idle people in society recruited by the supply and marketing cooperatives. These people did physical work such as digging holes and moving bricks.

Just like now, as soon as the motorcade stopped, these people rushed over to unload the bricks and then moved the bricks to the hands of the master who was building the house.

Li Xu and others were very curious before. The 300 or so construction workers recruited by the construction team were all paid for by the supply and marketing cooperative. How did the supply and marketing cooperative have the money to recruit so many laborers?

You have to know that this is not something that can be done in one or two days.

It was not until later, after a detailed discussion with the people in the Construction Department, that I realized that even if we calculated according to the minimum standard and only built three more houses, the 600 yuan we submitted would not only be enough to build three houses, but also enough to pay the wages of the workers needed to build the yard.

In other words, the supply and marketing cooperative does not have to pay the house builder's fees at all, it only needs to pay the laborer's wages.

When they heard this, Li Xu and others almost couldn't hold back. It turned out that they had made a mistake.

Later, they often scolded the director privately for this matter.

But the question is, why do some units require their employees to pay two hundred and one or two hundred and two hundred to build a house?

Is the extra money going to be used to hire labor?

Seeing the bustling scene on the construction site, Li Xu and others were extremely happy. If things continued like this, the house would be built in no time.

Seeing this, Li Xu thought it was time to find someone to make furniture.

In fact, in order to generate income, the county timber factory issued a notice some time ago, saying that people who are building houses can buy furniture produced by their factory without tickets, and the price is affordable.

That’s right, Tang County Timber Factory has a furniture manufacturing business, and if you want to buy the furniture they make, you must have a furniture ticket.

This ticket is usually only available to newlyweds who are about to get married.

Regardless of whether you have reached the legal age for marriage or not, as long as you are sure you are going to get married, you can go to the street office to apply.
