July is the rainiest month, and there are eight or ten days without sunshine in July every year.
Although the Inna River did not cause any trouble last year and there would be no problems in the next ten or twenty years, Wan Feng still drove to the river to inspect it.
It rained heavily all night last night and it hasn't stopped yet. The water in the Inna River roared excitedly, but it was not as high as during the most critical time last year.
People were not nervous at all, and many of them stood on the river bank and pointed at the river.
After experiencing the thrill of last year, people have become more confident and are a bit disdainful of this year's Inna River.
Captain Shen Bao, who was standing behind the mountain, was also standing on the river bank, holding a cigarette in his mouth and folding his arms, talking a lot. When he saw Wan Feng's car parked under the bank, he stopped bragging and greeted Wan Feng.
"Boss Wan is here?"
"It rained heavily last night, so I was worried and came to check on him. How is it going?"
"It's okay. We survived last year's terrible flood. This year's is just a minor issue."
"Don't take it lightly. Fire and water are merciless. If something goes wrong, crying will be useless."
Wan Feng climbed to the top of the dam and indeed found that compared with the shrew-like water flow in the past few days last year, the current Inna River was just like a resentful young wife.
Last year we planned to raise and reinforce the levee this year, but it seems like there is no progress.
Now the market behind the depression has spread to half of the area behind the mountain. It is better to reinforce and raise the river dam. If something happens, the whole area will be flooded, and the loss will be huge.
As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.
"The district said they'll allocate funds in the fall. We'll first widen the dam with stone and cement. Once the dam is wide enough, we'll raise it by one meter. That way, we won't have to worry about a once-in-a-century flood."
Since Murakami had a plan, Wan Feng didn't say anything.
Seeing that there was no danger by the river, Wan Feng drove back to Xiaoshutun. When passing by You Shuiping's wholesale department, he saw Yingrong wearing a raincoat and scolding You Shuiping who was loading beer into the car.
"Hurry up! It's raining so hard and you're still dawdling. The label on the bottle has already been washed off by the rain!"
You Shuiping remained calm and composed: "Let it fall. Everyone knows it's filled with beer, not horse urine."
"Why are you like Xu Laonian in Zhao Benshan's skit? You're not very good at your job, but you're only as good as him at talking nonsense."
Wan Feng was amused by the couple: "Sister Ying! Why are you two doing this? Where are the stevedores you hired?"
"Isn't it raining? I told them to go back because something happened at home. Who knew they would want some beer on this day? How can I enjoy drinking beer in this heavy rain?"
There's nothing wrong with heavy rain and drinking beer!
Many people drink beer on this day.
Apart from people going to work, there was nothing much to do that day, whether farmers or businessmen. Almost everyone gathered in the small shop to chat, gossip and gamble.
Isn’t it normal to drink two bottles of beer with sausage when you have nothing to do?
You Shuiping finally loaded the last box of beer onto the truck, covered it with tarpaulin and tied the tarpaulin up with a rope. After saying hello to Wan Feng, he drove away on his three-wheeled truck.
"Brother Wan! Come in and sit for a while."
Wan Feng got out of the car and ran into You Shuiping's store. He also wanted to know about their business situation.
Both stores were filled with beer, six cases stacked full.
"Wow! There's so much beer at home! Is it selling so slowly?"
"These are the two truckloads of beer delivered this morning. On a good day, we now have two truckloads a day. It's just that the heavy rain has been slow."
"Ah! Two trucks of beer arrived right now? Are they selling so well?"
You Shuiping has been working in the beer wholesale department for four months. Except for the first month when Wan Feng passed by and asked about it, he has never asked again.
He doesn't walk through this door every day.
Many times he would drive out and go straight to the cement road in the village to the left of Xu Bin's house in front of his house.
Because this road is the village road, there are usually few cars on it, unlike the road below which has a lot of traffic.
Yingrong took a bottle of drink and gave it to Wanfeng.
"Thanks to you, brother, I'm doing pretty well now. Really well. I've already paid back 80,000 yuan. I was originally going to pay back 100,000 yuan, but I still need turnover boxes to sell beer, so I bought 2,000 sets of boxes and spent over 20,000 yuan."
So the 300,000 yuan earned by the wholesale department each year is all in their pocket. By the end of the year, they can not only pay off all their hunger payments but also have some surplus, and make another 100,000 or 80,000 yuan by selling firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.
"Sister Ying, are you still selling firecrackers for the New Year?"
Yingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother! Beer sales peak during the Chinese New Year. I'm worried I won't be able to sell enough. Besides, firecrackers are unsafe. I'm a little undecided."
"You don't have to worry about safety. Firecrackers these days are all packed in cardboard boxes, so there's basically no problem as long as they don't come into contact with open flames. It's true that you can't sell enough. Without ten or eight people selling firecrackers, it really wouldn't be possible."
In his previous life, Wan Feng drove a small dump truck to transport cement. His boss sold firecrackers during the Chinese New Year and could earn about 50,000 yuan in more than a month.
His family has been selling firecrackers for the longest time and sells the most in Wulu Town.
The cost of firecrackers before the New Year is 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.
From the 20th to the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Wan Feng helps sell firecrackers at his home every year. Otherwise, how would he know how much money he can make from selling firecrackers in a month.
Including the boss's relatives, there are no less than ten people helping out every day these days.
"Brother! Can you predict how much money we can make from selling firecrackers?"
"It's basically from the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month to the 15th day of the first lunar month, just a few days. 100,000 yuan! It should be no problem."
Wan Feng's estimate is still conservative.
Not to mention anything else, the firecrackers purchased by Nanwan Group itself cost more than 100,000.
There may be even more this year because there is a new Phoenix Mountain Engine Base.
For an enterprise like Wanfeng, how can it have the nerve to go out without investing 30,000 or 20,000 yuan?
By that time, there would be dozens of people waiting at the gate of Nanwan Group to help set off firecrackers, and he would earn several thousand yuan from setting off firecrackers every year.
Can you do without it?
Let’s count how many places there are to set off firecrackers: there should be two sets of firecrackers for the new and old factories, Huaguang Technology, Learning Center, Nanwan Automobile, Fenghuangshan Engine, and Inna River Pickup Factory.
If you put 20,000 in one place, it will cost 140,000 to 150,
Whoever he goes to buy firecrackers, there will definitely be people following him around. It’s like this every year. I don’t know why these people follow him around when they buy firecrackers?
You can even pick it up for free!
With this calculation, the company alone can take away at least 600,000 or 700,000 in turnover. Isn't earning 100,000 like a piece of cake?
In previous years, Zhou Liming was in charge of purchasing firecrackers. Wan Feng didn't care whether this guy embezzled his money or not, but he just wanted to know how much he could embezzle.
Besides, it’s not necessarily greedy.
Ever since he married Zhang Juan, I secretly gave him five million during the Chinese New Year last year. Damn, I gave you so much extra money, if you embezzle it again, you will be a piece of shit.
When Yingrong heard that he could earn 100,000 yuan in a month, his eyes lit up like a light bulb.
