"Hurry up, hurry up!" As the weather changed, the woolen materials drying in the workshop had to be put away quickly. The workers in the workshop came out to help. If the woolen materials were wet by the rain, it would be troublesome.

Cao Xiangnan's carriage happened to arrive at the garment workshop. Li Mei was helping and directing people to put all the things outside into the warehouse. When she saw the boss's carriage coming, she ran over here. She was out of breath and said, "Boss..."

"Don't bother me. I just came to see you. You can go and do your thing first." Seeing Li Mei running over, Cao Xiangnan waved his hand, interrupted him, and let him go and do his thing. He just happened to be passing by the garment workshop, so he came in to take a look. There was nothing to do.

Seeing the boss say that, it was indeed busy there, so Li Mei said goodbye to the boss, "Then I'll go there first." Seeing the boss waved, he hurried over to work.

He waved, and the two boys following him understood and went over to help put things away.

Cao Xiangnan walked around and helped pick up any small things that needed to be put away, and the others hurried over to do it. Everyone who met him in the workshop called him "boss" or "boss" with a respectful tone, and he smiled and nodded.

In Caojia Village, he changed from the original "Cao Jia Silang" to the current "Cao Dadongjia" and "Cao Boss". Now, when he walks in the village, everyone treats him with a bit of respect and courtesy.

In the whole Caojia Village, almost every household makes a living under him, and this status immediately becomes different. Cao Xiangnan never puts on airs. He trades fairly and buys and sells fairly, and no one bullies anyone. As

soon as the wool drying in the field was collected, the big rain fell, pouring on the dried ground like a "sizzling" sound, and a circle of smoke rose, which was extinguished in an instant.

After a while, it made a loud noise and turned into a heavy rain.

"Fortunately we cleaned up quickly, otherwise the rain would have... " Wu Yue, who ran in last, was drenched in the rain and his hair was wet, but he still had a smile on his face and was very happy.

After being processed, these woolen materials have been hung out to dry for three or four days, and they only have one day left to be collected. Otherwise, the rain would have ruined these woolen materials that were dried with great difficulty. Fortunately, they were collected in time, because the workshop will need these woolen materials to make the next batch of clothes.

Everyone was very happy to have collected everything outside before the rain. When

it got dark outside, the workshop inside also got dark. There was not enough light inside, and it was not suitable for work.

Everything in the workshop is flammable, and fireworks are prohibited. So even though it's dark inside, it's not suitable to light oil lamps, so the workers in the workshop can only take a break. They

start working at dawn and finish at dusk, and never light oil lamps or candles. The days are long and the nights are short in this season. The workers in the workshop come to work early in the morning and can finish work before sunset. There is a big hourglass in the workshop. When the sand falls, the workers can go home.

The door of the boss's workshop is closed, and the two supervisors and several deputy supervisors follow in.

"Li Mei, Wu Yue, you guys did a great job today..." Just now outside, Cao Xiangnan saw Li Mei and Wu Yue directing everyone's work in an orderly and calm manner. He now comes and goes in a hurry every time, and rarely has time to observe everyone's work.

As a leader, he also needs to affirm the work of his subordinates.

"Thank you for the reward, boss..." Li Mei and Wu Yue smiled humbly and said that it was their job, and everyone was very happy in their hearts that the boss praised them.

In the current garment factory, Li Mei was originally the supervisor, and Wu Yue was promoted from deputy supervisor to full supervisor. There were also four deputy supervisors promoted below, working under the two supervisors and in charge of different work areas.

The work in the garment workshop was divided into smaller and smaller areas, and the efficiency of the work was also getting higher and higher.

After he went to Nanyang in the early spring and came back, the workshop started working, which was several months earlier than he had originally planned. There was a reason why he opened the garment workshop so early. Manager Fang gave him a big order, and there were many orders from last year, which had to be completed this year. In addition, the goods to be shipped this year had not been settled yet. If he didn't start working,

he would not be able to catch up if he was late. The big order from Manager Fang was very large, and even the deposit was paid to him. He just took the order and made it. As for the destination of so many clothes, Cao Xiangnan didn't ask. Anyway, he just took the business. We were all family members. How could he cheat him?

This year, the workshop has undergone a lot of changes, including personnel changes and job divisions. During this time, Cao Xiangnan also talked to the supervisors about the workshop's work problems, mainly to improve the efficiency of the work. In this era, large-scale mechanization is not possible, and only the most primitive manual labor is relied on. Manual work has its advantages, and machines have their advantages.

He has already drawn drawings of some of the machines needed in the workshop based on his impressions and asked the craftsmen in Nanyang to make them. It's just that it won't be ready so quickly. If it can be semi-mechanized, the work efficiency in the workshop can be greatly improved.

After the new year, the workshop can start work early, and the buddies waiting at home are the happiest. Having work in the workshop means that they have daily income, and who wouldn't be happy!

In February, they all sent their children to the academy. After they could earn money, they had more say at home. They didn't need to wait for their grandparents to approve their children's education. They could make their own decisions. Even they rushed to the academy to attend classes after work.

In order to encourage employees to study hard, Cao Xiangnan implemented a strict grade assessment. There would be three assessments per year. Those who passed the assessment would be promoted and have their salary increased. Those who failed the assessment would be demoted and have their salary reduced. Those who failed the assessment three times would have to pack up and leave.

When this notice came out, some of the workers in the neighborhood were worried, while others were happy. As long as they wanted to get promoted and have their wages increased, they all tried their best to register for the local academy, fearing that they would be demoted and have their wages reduced if they

failed the assessment. If they failed three times in a row, they might even lose their jobs. They had already passed the exam once when they started working at the beginning of the year. There were people in the neighborhood who failed the exam. If they failed the second time, they would only have one last chance. If they passed this time, they could stay, and if they passed the next time, they could continue to get promoted and have their wages increased.

This time, Cao Xiangnan also talked to several supervisors and deputy supervisors about the mid-year assessment. Not only the guys outside will be assessed, but also the supervisors here. If they cannot maintain their best position in the comprehensive assessment, the positions they are currently sitting in may be replaced.

"Don't relax, you must set an example and get a good score." Cao Xiangnan looked around at the managers he selected. Li Mei and Wu Yue were able to become supervisors and deputy supervisors because he was familiar with them. Fortunately, they did not disappoint him now.

"Yes, we will try hard." Li Mei replied, but everyone knew that he was extremely nervous. He was in this position, so he had to ensure that he had the ability to sit in this position.

"Yeah." Looking around, Cao Xiangnan was quite satisfied with the people he selected.

Now that the academy has been opened, he naturally has to focus on education. It is not easy to catch people from outside, so he should catch these people under his command first. In the future, anyone who wants to work in their garment workshop must be literate.

This knowledge is not unimportant, but more importantly, he must first change the concept of reading of the previous generation and let the next generation go to school. After three to five years, when the next generation of children grow up, the whole Caojia Village will be completely different. This is all he can do now. If he trains these people, it will be convenient for him to hire people in the future.

In the past, there were few people who could read in the whole garment workshop. Now, after a cold winter, everyone can at least recognize a few words after returning, even if they can't speak fluently. After the workshop started working, he even came up with a set of assessment system, which had many ways to make the brothers who didn't want to go to the academy, or who went to the academy but didn't take it seriously, study hard.

People are motivated only when they have pressure, and this is true no matter what era it is.

In the past, Li Mei and Wu Yue couldn't read a single word, but now they can do the income and expenditure reports of the workshop well, and they can do better each time, so talents are forced out.

If everything is waiting for him, the boss, to do it, how can he do it alone? In addition, he is now running between Nanyang and Fenshui. Cao Xiangnan wishes he could split his work into two. Why did he spend money to hire so many people? Of course, to work! If he doesn't know how to do it, he will learn to do it. If he can't even learn, he will be fired. It's that simple.

"... That's all I have to say today. Finally, I hope you all get good grades." After a long speech, Cao Xiangnan, as a boss, naturally wants to encourage employees to study hard and get good grades.

But the smile on his face makes him look less like a good person, and there is always a sense of gloating.

After the boss got up and left, the several supervisors and deputy supervisors followed him with different expressions, gritting their teeth and telling themselves that they must work hard and get a good score.

This assessment has its pros and cons, but at least it is fair to everyone. The opportunity is right in front of you. If you want a higher salary, you must work hard.

After going outside, Cao Xiangnan also said a few words to the brothers working in the neighborhood, mainly talking about the assessment. In the end, he said, "The top three in the comprehensive score of this assessment will have a chance to study in Nanyang."

After hearing this, the brothers in the neighborhood were very happy. The farthest place many of them have been in their lives is Fenshui.

Many of them have only heard of Nanyang City, which is a city that is more prosperous and larger than Fenshui, but they have never been there. Only Wu Yue and Sun Hongmei had been there last year. Even Li Mei, the supervisor, had never had the chance to go there. After hearing what Wu Yue and Sun Hongmei had said about Nanyang City, they all wanted to go there. There was

a sudden downpour, and soon the sky was bright. The rain outside also subsided, so Cao Xiangnan led his people away from the garment workshop.
