Chapter 268: Each Doing His Own Job
"This is Uncle Nine. Everyone knows his name, so I won't mention it."
When his name was mentioned, Uncle Jiu quickly stood up and smiled at everyone before sitting down and continuing to listen to Carpenter Liu.
As Carpenter Liu introduced the tasks, Uncle Jiu added what he was responsible for, and the same pattern applied to the rest of the people.
After all, this was the first serious meeting, so Carpenter Liu couldn't be too clear about the clear-cut work assignment.
But no one minded, since they all understood it anyway.
Uncle Jiu used to be the team leader of the quarrying group at the water mill, and was mainly in charge of the quarrying area.
Now there is only one production room left in the water mill, which receives some odd orders every now and then. Most of the former workers have been transferred to the stationery factory, so Uncle Jiu was promoted to the general manager of the entire water mill, with two people under him, and is fully responsible for the subsequent maintenance and manufacturing of the water mill.
Also, now that a new factory is being built, Uncle Jiu is temporarily serving as the overall leader of the new factory construction.
Shunzi is still in charge of sales, and he is the one who handles all external matters. He is smooth and good at speaking, thick-skinned and humble. He was the one who coordinated the delivery of timber to the factory several times.
Liu Bo and Liu Fei are currently the captains of the transport team. Liu Bo also serves as the guard captain, responsible for the theft and fire prevention of raw materials.
Liu Zhong is in charge of purchasing. He is responsible for all the carpentry tools needed by the factory. He also takes charge of the daily purchase of fruits, vegetables, oil and grain for the kitchen.
Liu Zhong is responsible for all purchases that require leaving the village.
Because the only means of transportation was the ox cart left by Qin Yao's family, the three brothers basically traveled in the same cart for more than half a month.
"Manager Qin, if our factory has enough money, I would like to buy another horse-drawn carriage for our factory. This will make it more convenient to use." Liu Zhong suggested tentatively.
Afraid that there was not enough money, he immediately said after making the suggestion that if funds were tight, then forget it, they could just borrow from the people in the village who had cattle and horses and give them some money for fodder.
Qin Yao smiled at him and said, "We will discuss this issue in detail later."
Liu Zhong was delighted, but he suppressed his joy and waited for Carpenter Liu to finish introducing the people.
The rest is up to the production team.
Carpenter Liu is responsible for the production of book boxes, and he has several other small managers who are responsible for each production link.
The paint surface is the most important appearance of the bookcase, so the status of the painting team is higher than other production teams, and Yunniang is temporarily in charge of it.
There are now eighty workers in the production team, plus the managers and the He and Qiu families who work in the kitchen, the total number of people is one hundred.
Yunniang said that her painters have been almost fully trained and can start production at any time.
The same is true for Carpenter Liu, because each person only needs to be responsible for a small part, and the old people lead the new people. Currently, each group has completed the basic job requirements.
After this introduction, Qin Yao had a deeper understanding of each person's situation, and it was easier to explain the content of the subsequent meeting.
The only people who could write at the scene were Qin Yao herself, Carpenter Liu and Liu Qi, a total of three people who could read, and Carpenter Liu was only half-literate. Qin Yao felt that this was not going to work.
So the first issue discussed was to organize literacy classes.
Everyone was quite surprised, because during the time when Qin Yao was away, illiteracy did not affect communication and work.
However, reading and writing have always been a sacred thing in the eyes of the villagers, so there was almost no opposition and it was passed unanimously.
However, how to run this literacy class, who will be the recipients of the literacy class, and the learning standards all still need to be prepared.
Qin Yao looked at Shunzi, who had the least work at the moment. "Shunzi, you will be responsible for arranging the literacy class. Come up with a set of rules first, and tell me when you're done."
Shunzi nodded and agreed, "Okay!"
After he answered, his face frowned, because he had never even been to school, so when it came to learning to read, he was completely clueless.
But soon Shunzi's expression relaxed. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a good brother, Liu Ji, who could help him with ideas!
After arranging the literacy class, Qin Yao took out the schedule she had made earlier and read it to everyone.
"The construction of the factory is almost completed, and the original factory is still there, so starting tomorrow, we can arrange some workers to take turns to carry out trial production."
"The new plant will be completed on the last day of this month, and will enter full production on the first day of next month!"
"In mid-July, we will deliver the first batch of 3,000 divine book boxes. The remaining 6,000 boxes must be delivered before the end of September. In order to ensure that the delivery task can be completed on schedule, everyone will definitely have to work hard during this period."
"But we can't use fake products just because the construction period is short. We must ensure the quality and quantity and deliver the goods on time!"
Qin Yao, who was still smiling just now, became serious when talking about this, and said in a deep voice:
"As long as the quality of this delivery passes the inspection, there will be another order of 10,000, 20,000, or even 30,000!"
Hearing this, everyone present breathed faster.
They know that in order to have a steady stream of orders and to live a good life, they all secretly work hard to complete the delivery beautifully!
The concerns of the village chief were also answered by Qin Yao's words. He knew that this was a factory with a long life and that there would be a steady stream of orders in the future. The worry that had been hanging in the air finally came to fruition, and the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed.
The patriarch was counting on his fingers. How much silver would ten thousand book boxes cost?
Before the old man could figure it out, Liu Qi stood up excitedly and asked in disbelief:
"Manager Qin, if we produce 10,000 bookcases, wouldn't our factory make several thousand taels of silver?"
Qin Yao nodded. Anyone who knew how to do math could roughly figure out the amount. He told everyone on the spot that this was a large order with a total investment of two thousand taels of silver.
"The investment is two thousand taels?" Carpenter Liu was stunned, because it was the first time he knew this number.
Previously, he saw Qin Yao sent him fifty taels of silver and said in the letter that it was a large order. He thought that four or five hundred taels would be the maximum. Who would have thought that it was actually several thousand taels.
For a moment, everyone present wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. They laughed because they were happy, and they wanted to cry because they were too happy.
Qin Yao quickly stopped talking, the meeting wasn't over yet, let's continue!
"We have grown our business and need a professional accountant as well as the subsequent warehouse management. Liu Zhong, Liu Fei, your guard team will take over for the time being."
Qin Yao also knew that she couldn't rely on them to find the accountant, so she took it upon herself, "I will go find the accountant myself. I will be in charge of the accountant temporarily until he is found."
"Next, let me talk about forming our own team."
Finally, when it came to his own suggestion, Liu Zhong sat up straight, ready to listen carefully.
