Seeing the pleading look in his eyes, Han Qiushi quickly went over to introduce the two: "Wife, this is Qian Cheng, my brother who would risk his life for me. Brother, this is my wife, Lin Xiaoxiao."
"Hello," Qian Cheng said stiffly.
After returning home disabled, he experienced treatment he had never received before.
Not to mention that many things are unfair, he originally had a girl who liked him, but after seeing how he became like this, she quickly turned her back on him and found someone else.
Not only that, many people stare at him with blatant strange looks, and he can't bear too much right now; even the smallest thing can make him anxious.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "Hello Brother Qian, I need your help. I'm working on the sewing machine and I'm thinking about how you can use it more conveniently. I have a plan in mind and I'm just waiting for you to come over. Qiushi, could you help Brother Qian to the storage room? I'll give it a try."
Han Qiushi smiled instantly, his gaze towards Lin Xiaoxiao as gentle as could be: "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Qian Cheng quickly relaxed and responded with a hint of gratitude towards Lin Xiaoxiao, "Okay."
It seems that my brother's wife really doesn't consider herself an outsider, which is why she communicates so sincerely.
After the three of them arrived at the storage room, Lin Xiaoxiao had him sit on a chair to see if he could operate the sewing machine with one foot and if he could grasp the rhythm.
Qian Cheng was a little nervous, but he followed Lin Xiaoxiao's instructions step by step and found that he could move his feet. Men are strong, and even with just one foot, they can easily control the rhythm they want.
Seeing that there were no problems, Lin Xiaoxiao asked Qian Cheng about the comfort of the chair he was sitting in. After these issues were resolved, Lin Xiaoxiao called over the next brother who was missing an arm.
Lin Xiaoxiao's plan was this: if someone had difficulty walking, they could use a sewing machine or a needle and thread; if someone had difficulty using their hands, they could iron the clothes and do quality checks. Don't underestimate these two processes; they are crucial to the quality and appearance of the clothes.
She wouldn't lower her standards just because the other party was disabled, but she would still take things seriously, considering all the details and addressing the existing problems in a pragmatic way.
After working on it for about half an hour, Lin Xiaoxiao had a list of questions and was discussing them with Han Qiushi and Han Qiulin.
"For those who sit and use sewing machines or needles and thread, the chairs should be made more comfortable. The height of some chairs can be adjusted according to their needs."
“It’s very inconvenient to carry things with one hand. We need to make some small trolleys, preferably with wheels, so that it will be more convenient to carry goods or deliver them to the next step.”
"Yes, they can handle these things themselves."
"Oh right, we also need to make a few more things to hold the fabric in place, so that it will be more efficient even when operating with one hand."
When Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Han Qiushi said in a very low voice, "There's one more thing, we need to design something for them when they go to the toilet. I'll leave this to you."
Upon hearing this, Han Qiushi laughed so hard his shoulders shook. "Well... okay, I'll discuss it with them, and we'll handle it ourselves if needed."
"With so many people, we need to arrange the seating. The working hours can be arranged according to everyone's working hours and rest periods."
Han Qiushi asked her with great curiosity, "Have you decided how much salary they will receive?"
"Hmm, what do you think of thirty?"
Lin Xiaoxiao had actually thought that if adult men had less than this number, it would be difficult to support their families. However, she didn't call everyone over just to receive a basic salary. If sales were good, there would be various bonuses and subsidies, which should add up to close to sixty or seventy yuan.
These people came without hesitation because they trusted Han Qiushi, so their income must be guaranteed.
"thirty?"
There are only thirty people right now. If each person earns thirty yuan, that's 900 yuan a month, not even including daily necessities and such.
How much money would that cost in a year?
Those around were stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this a bit too high? For our conditions, this price is a bit too high."
In the factories of the town, they were paid fifteen yuan a month to guard the gate, but no one wanted to hire them.
The remaining few nodded in agreement.
They are all disabled and the government cannot arrange jobs for them. They receive disability subsidies, which allow them to make a living.
Coming to Beijing not only offers higher salaries than others, but I've also heard that it includes room and board. Let alone them, even normal people would be eager to come and work here.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at them and shook her head: "Your thinking is wrong. You got into this situation not because of anything else, but because you were injured while protecting our people. If I were to exploit you further in terms of treatment, I would really have no face to call you."
"No, we're not as nimble as others, so our work efficiency is definitely not as good as theirs."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "You don't need to worry about that. As long as the factory is profitable and can pay your wages, it's not a loss. Besides, with you guys here, I believe you can run it very well even if I'm not here anymore."
Some of them thought to themselves, "I'm afraid they haven't done many things well, and the garment factory's profits won't keep up. If that happens, all of them will have to go back to their hometowns to live their own lives."
If things have come to this, it would be better if everyone took a smaller cut, giving the factory more breathing room.
Lin Xiaoxiao knew their concerns.
But she had calculated it carefully.
She opened this factory not for money, but mainly to solve their employment problem and human resources; that was her real purpose.
Their worries were unnecessary. As long as she continued to provide designs and other things, the factory was bound to make money, not to mention the advantage of having the military backing it up.
This factory is definitely profitable. Even if they earn less because of their physical condition, as long as they can break even, it's still worth it for her.
If she encounters any problems in the future, she won't have to rely on her in-laws for everything. With so many brothers behind her, they will definitely support her.
If she encounters any difficult situation, even if Han Qiushi isn't around, she'll still have someone to share the burden.
Each and every one of them has been to the battlefield; they are all ruthless and skilled, none of them are cowardly. When the reform and opening up comes, with such a group of people, what will we do? Won't we take off?
At that time, clothing styles were limited to a few basic designs. If she produced all sorts of different styles in bulk, she would definitely make money, provided that no one interfered or sabotaged the process.
They are all hardworking, and she doesn't believe that the factory's efficiency is much lower than that of Wangjia Village.
