Chapter 169 This life won't be bad



What does 20,000 to 30,000 mean?

It would take a person three years of working in a factory without eating or drinking to earn that much!

"I'm not exaggerating. A classmate of mine rented a small shop there to sell cotton and wool clothing. He did it for three years, and now his whole family has moved their household registration to the county and bought a house on Baofeng Street."

Their family was originally from the countryside, with three siblings, and their circumstances were even worse than ours. You and my mother are in the clothing business, so you should know how high the profit margin is. Besides, Tangkou County includes more than 20 townships and over 400 villages. Just think about it, there's a ready-made customer base.

Now that everyone has gone out to work, whether they have money or not, they will all go home for the Spring Festival. The festive atmosphere is very strong. Only a very small number of people have settled in other places, and the population loss rate is very low.

Not to mention the Lunar New Year, during holidays, minibuses in both urban and rural areas are packed with passengers.

Mr. He: "You've made too big a leap. Now you're in the restaurant business, and you want to sell shoes and clothes too? What if you can't sell them?"

“You’re already saying you can’t sell anything before you’ve even started the business. Even if you don’t sell shoes and clothes, you still need to buy a car. We already have our own car, so we can drive it back home for the New Year and save on transportation costs for the whole family. The food factory definitely needs a car, so you should get your driver’s license as soon as possible.”

Once you buy the car, the cost of purchasing inventory becomes a small part.

If her parents and grandmother don't support taking out a loan, He Wenlin will have to buy the car as soon as possible and pay in installments. The money she earns from the shop and food factory will be used to purchase more goods.

I just don't know if it's possible to buy a car in installments right now.

...

All the factories are having to work overtime today, so everyone is very busy, like it's a war zone.

After all four dishes were cooked, it was already 4:50.

He Wenlin retired gracefully after achieving her goals.

She washed her face and went to the food factory.

He Wenlin made two batches of egg roll batter for the workers. Seeing that everyone was sweating profusely, she told them that the air conditioner would be installed tomorrow and it wouldn't be so hot anymore.

"Great! Finally, we have air conditioning!"

"Sitting here all day long, I sweat several pounds of sweat."

"Yes, I have heat rash on my neck."

Upon hearing this, He Wenlin said, "Thank you all for your hard work. I've added three more machines and need to hire three more people. Does anyone have any recommendations?"

Zhang Shuanglan immediately said, "Would someone in their fifties be suitable?"

"Age isn't a problem, as long as he can do it. The machine will arrive tomorrow morning. Why don't you have them come to the store at nine o'clock tomorrow to give it a try?"

"Okay, I'll have them come and try it tomorrow."

"We ordered another hundred boxes of goods today. You'll have to work overtime these next couple of days. We bought new machines and will hire a couple more people so things will be easier for you."

Li Xiaojuan said, "Old Ruan has already told us that our night shift ends at 2 a.m. tonight, and the day shift will come at 3 a.m. tomorrow."

"Thank you everyone, you've worked hard."

They can't produce enough output without delaying production.

"Boss, this is today's shipment volume, and here's the money." Accountant Zhang Shishi handed the invoice and money to He Wenlin for review.

Today, a total of 210 boxes were shipped, generating 1302 yuan in revenue.

Boss Meng is delivering three machines tomorrow, and this money will be just enough to settle the bill.

The income from the next few days will be used for employee salaries and Mid-Autumn Festival benefits.

The salary was originally supposed to be paid at the end of the month, but it was changed because there were more employees and Zhang Shishi was a new employee, so the salary hadn't been calculated yet. Now, the previous month's salary is paid around the 7th of each month.

At 7:30 p.m., Grandma He, Lin Fei, and He Shan all returned.

I brought back the money for the evening's takeout, which was a few dollars more than at noon, totaling 225 yuan.

Although business isn't as good as here, it's still alright; at least we can make a profit.

I got up early, and now I'm finally done with my work.

Everyone went back to their rented room, took a shower, and went to sleep.

My second brother gets up late, and he also has a task: around 10 p.m., he has to get up to prepare three more vats of egg roll batter.

Because Chen Dongping is coming to pick up goods tomorrow, everyone is working overtime until 2 a.m. tonight. However, because it is too hot, the egg roll batter is soggy. It can only be left for three or four hours, but not any longer. So he got up once in the middle of the work.

...

He Wenlin got up at 2:30 a.m. the next day.

She works the early shift making egg rolls, starting at 3 AM. She needs to prepare the egg roll batter before 3 AM, so she has to get up early.

The machines were still warm, which showed that the people on the middle shift hadn't been gone for long.

He Wenlin plugged the machine back in and heated it up.

Then start preparing the egg roll batter.

After the first batch of paste was made, Ruan Jianxin came, leaning on his crutches.

He Wenlin, considering his mobility issues, told him not to come so early, but he felt that since they were so close, he could put a light on his forehead for illumination, so he came.

"Uncle Ruan, you've worked hard these past few days."

"It's not hard work, but it's hot. Even the fan blows hot air."

Because He Wenlin gave him this job, and He Wenlin also put him in charge of production, Ruan Jianxin's mindset improved a lot.

"A technician came to install the air conditioner today, so it won't be this hot anymore."

"That's great!"

The people on the early shift didn't even know about the air conditioning installation, but now that He Wenlin has told them, they're overjoyed.

In this weather, without air conditioning, sitting in front of the egg roll machine is truly torture.

"Three more machines will be added today, and three more people will come to work. My uncle should arrive the day after tomorrow, and then we can arrange for him to take turns resting. Otherwise, even the strongest body can't withstand it."

"Boss, how are we supposed to work during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"We definitely have to work during the Mid-Autumn Festival. With our current business, if we take a break, there won't be any goods for customers to pick up the next day. We also have orders to fulfill from two factories, so we definitely can't take a break before the festival. I know that everyone will be visiting relatives on the day of the festival, so we will make arrangements and plans in advance to try to ensure that everyone can have lunch at home."

"We can do more work on the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th, and also come in earlier on the 12th to do some more, so that we can finish get off work around 9:30 am. This won't affect their night shift during the holiday."

The night shift starts at 3 PM.

"Let's leave it at that for now, we'll talk about it later," He Wenlin said. "Everyone who works that day will receive a red envelope."

He Wenlin did not mention triple pay.

In fact, the government had already introduced a policy requiring triple pay for working on holidays, but few private companies implemented it, let alone small and micro companies like He Wenlin's.

Many small business owners and most ordinary people are still unaware of this.

He Wenlin didn't offer triple pay, but she wasn't the kind of person to be stingy. Besides, she had been reborn, so even if she didn't make it onto the Forbes list, she wouldn't be doing badly in this life.

She wouldn't be stingy with this amount of money.

She will distribute the money as a bonus that day.
