Ling Chuan, who was standing by, saw her actions and a secret joy appeared on his face and in his heart.
After eating the dumplings, Yun Mo and Ling Chuan went out to order a sign for the factory, while the others continued to clean up in the match factory.
I don't know if it's because she's not a local or because prices are high due to the New Year, but she charged 150 yuan for a 300cm*60cm vertical sign with black text on a white background.
Although Yun Mo is not short of this little money, she doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
She simply went to the building materials market and spent 10 yuan to buy a brush and a can of waterproof paint, planning to make her own sign when she returned.
Back at the match factory, Lingchuan went to the cafeteria to make dinner, while Yun Mo ran to the office with paper and pen to design the factory's sign.
At first, she planned to make a simple wooden sign, but then she thought, since they are a bamboo weaving factory, why can't they make a bamboo weaving sign? Yun Mo quickly drew the general appearance and shape of the sign, and then went to find Huang Kailin.
The signboard she designed is five round bamboo plaques with a word written in the middle of each plaque, which together form "Lu'an Bamboo Weaving Factory".
The bamboo plaque is decorated with a few bamboo joints and leaves, painted with waterproof varnish, and then nailed above the factory gate.
When Huang Kailin heard her idea, he also thought it was good, but there was no bamboo here, so he had to go back to his hometown to cut bamboo to make a bamboo plaque.
This reminded Yun Mo that now that the factory site problem had been solved, the next step was to find a way to find high-quality and cheap bamboo materials.
Anshi is not like Liu'an Town, where vast bamboo forests can be seen everywhere. However, there are not many bamboo forests around Anshi, and the scale of the bamboo forests is very small, which is not enough to support the needs of bamboo weaving factories.
After much thought, I decided that I had to buy the bamboo from Lu'an Town.
Taking the transportation costs into consideration, a workshop can be set up in Lu'an Town to process the whole bamboo into finished bamboo silk and bamboo strips, and then transport them to the factory. This will not only save space but also greatly reduce transportation costs.
Now that the raw materials are in place, the next thing to come is the workers.
Bamboo weaving is different from other manufacturing industries. Other manufacturing industries may take three days to learn and get started, but bamboo weaving may take seven days at the fastest and half a month at the slowest. It also tests one's patience and carefulness, as well as the flexibility of fingers.
In other words, if you want to become an excellent bamboo weaving craftsman, you either need talent or a solid foundation.
If you want to quickly establish a production line, the best way is to recruit workers with basic skills in bamboo weaving. There is no other choice except Lu'an Town.
But if we arrange the people from Liu'an Town to work in the bamboo weaving factory, we have to find a way to solve their food and accommodation problems.
Eating was simple, the factory had a canteen, and they could just hire a chef, but how could they provide accommodation for dozens of workers? When they returned to the guesthouse at night, Huang Yu finally told them the reason why he quit his job.
Huang Yu has been suppressed by the workshop director in the winery for the past few years and has been unable to become a regular employee. He originally thought that with the arrival of a new secretary in the factory, the workshop director would definitely be taken as a negative example and be rectified, and he would definitely be able to successfully become a regular employee this year.
As a result, the workshop director somehow managed to avoid being disciplined and was promoted to deputy factory director.
The newly appointed workshop director did not dare to offend the deputy factory director and continued to suppress Huang Yu and refused to make him a regular employee.
Huang Yu was completely desperate and resigned in a fit of anger.
Normally, one has to resign half a month in advance. The newly appointed workshop director has been a co-worker of Huang Yu for many years. He knew that it was not right for him to hold Huang Yu back from getting a permanent job, so he directly approved Huang Yu's application to resign on the spot.
Huang Yu completed the resignation procedures at noon and moved his luggage to the guesthouse in the afternoon.
Yun Mo bought a lot of things when she rented the house before, and now with Huang Yu's luggage, the three rooms are almost full.
In addition to the workers' dormitories, they also had to find a place for themselves to stay as soon as possible.
Yun Mo lay on the bed, planning silently while calculating the remaining funds in her hands, and slowly fell asleep.
Looking at her peaceful and delicate sleeping face, Ling Chuan carefully reached out his hand and held her in his arms, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
—
The dormitory belongs to the cotton mill next door. The business has been bad in the past two years and there are far fewer employees than before. In order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the vacant dormitories are rented out.
The cotton mill had good performance in the past few years, and the staff dormitories were also beautifully built.
The red brick building has three floors in total, and the top floor is rented out.
Each dormitory is 30 square meters, with a toilet and balcony, 6 bunk beds, and can accommodate 12 workers.
Yun Mo used the seven dormitories near the stairs for the workers to live in, and reserved the three innermost dormitories for themselves.
Yunmo signed the rental contract with the person in charge of the cotton mill. It was for three years and the annual rent was 3,000.
On average, the monthly rent for a dormitory is 25 yuan, which is still very cost-effective.
After signing the contract, Yun Mo moved from the guesthouse to the dormitory that same day.
Bamboo weaving is mainly a handicraft, and does not require additional production equipment. You only need to place tables, chairs, benches and shelves in the workshop for workers to work.
In order to save money, Huang Kailin plans to go back to his hometown and cut bamboo to do these things himself.
At this point, the preliminary preparations for the bamboo weaving factory are almost completed, and the next step is to return to Lu'an Town to recruit workers.
"I'm finally back. Home is still the best. Even the air smells so good."
Huang Yu couldn't help but sigh as he stepped out of Lu'an Town Bus Station.
The round trip from the city to Lu'an by bus would cost him almost a month's salary.
In order to save money, Huang Yu rarely goes home unless it is absolutely necessary.
The last time she came back was in early August, when Yun Mo returned to the Huang family for the first time.
Yun Mo smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, when the bamboo weaving factory officially starts operations, you will have to run back and forth between the city and town. Just don't complain about the hardship."
"It's not that hard to ride in a car, it's really hard to walk."
Listening to Huang Yu's rebuttal, Yun Mo had a vague idea in her mind.
"Brother Xiaoyu, Brother Chen, when the bamboo weaving factory is on track next year, you should go and get a driver's license. When the bamboo weaving factory's profitability improves, you can buy a small truck."
"How much does it cost to get a driver's license?"
Yun Mo was not sure either, so she turned to look at Chen Bin, "Brother Chen, how much does it cost for you to get a motorcycle license?"
"Tuition, registration, and processing fees, all in all I spent less than a hundred yuan, but I started learning early, and now it would probably cost two or three hundred yuan to pass the test. A driver's license is even more expensive, at least eight or nine hundred yuan."
Yun Mo could still accept this price. "Brother Xiaoyu, Brother Chen, as long as you can pass the driving test, the factory will reimburse you for the expenses."
Chen Bin immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sign up after the New Year."
Huang Yu was also eager to try. After all, no man doesn't want to drive.
"Then, then I will sign up with Brother Chen?"
"all right."
