Wan Feng nodded to Jiang Jun and Yuan Hai: "You two did a good job."
After walking a mile forward, they found Li You sitting on the railing of a small bridge in the ditch in front of Cuitun.
When he ran here and looked back but didn't see Sun Guangyu, he stopped running. But he didn't know what happened behind him. When Wan Feng and Sun Guangyu started fighting, he had already run into the ditch.
"Why are you running? There are so many people behind us, what are you afraid of?"
"I was so busy running that I didn't even notice. Where's Sun Guangyu?"
"He was lying on the road just now, and he should be gone now."
"Lying down?" Li You was puzzled.
"He might be sleepy and tired and needed to rest, so he lay down in the middle of the avenue. In order for him to have a good rest, we did not disturb him." Wan Feng said seriously.
Luan Feng glared at Wan Feng fiercely: "Bad guy!"
In order to avoid going to the theater in the afternoon, the guy who was called a bad guy went home, had dinner, rode his bicycle to Gushan, and then took a bus to Lifang.
When Luan Feng found out that Wan Feng had gone to the county town, she was so angry that she stamped her feet.
Wan Feng wanted to see with his own eyes what the equipment looked like, and then estimate how many vehicles and manpower were needed to load and unload the vehicles.
Mrs. Li's home is right behind the post office of Lifang Commune, so it's very easy to find.
After meeting Wan Feng, Li Taixian took Wan Feng to the Lifang Rubber Shoe Factory and entered the factory yard through the gate.
Because of the short shutdown period, the yard of the rubber shoe factory was deserted except for the fact that no one was there. However, the yard was full of snow, and there was only a small path leading to the workshop and warehouse.
This is used by night watchmen for patrolling.
The night watchman used the key to open the workshop door and took Wan Feng and Li Taixian on a tour while introducing the workshop.
"All the equipment is here and in good condition. This is a rubber mixer. It's used to mix different types of rubber to create the rubber you need for shoe soles."
"This is a cutting machine, used to cut canvas. These next to it are the cutting molds for various parts of the upper."
The night watchman picked up some iron molds and showed them to Wan Feng and Li Taixian.
"This is the front steel mold, these are the left and right upper steel molds, and this is the tongue steel mold."
"Once the fabric is cut, it needs to be sewn. These are the sewing machines and the eyelet machines for installing the shoelace eyes."
After the sewing machine, Wan Feng saw a pile of wooden or iron shoe molds.
"These are shoe molds, used for finalizing the shape. They come in various sizes. The sewn shoe uppers will be covered on these molds."
"This is a press. The upper and the sole are pressed together after they are glued together."
Wan Feng had little exposure to rubber shoe making in his previous life, but he had studied leather shoe making.
He thought that all he had to do was sew the upper and glue it to the sole, but he didn't expect the production process of rubber shoes to be so long and complicated!
"Are those rubber materials easy to buy?"
The night watchman shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. You should go find Master Li from the original workshop. He's the master of the workshop and knows everything."
This old Master Li is the glue mixing master that Li Taixian contacted for Wan Feng. He is a relative of Li Taixian and an uncle who has not yet been born.
He is in his forties and looks very capable.
The last bus from Goudong to Hongya left at 3:30 p.m., so Wan Feng spent half an hour learning all the details about the shoe factory from Master Li, and then took this bus back to Wahou.
It was dark when he got home.
After dinner, he went to Zhang Hai's house to find Zhang Hai and asked him to arrange thirty people to go to the pear room to pull the machine.
"Do you think we should recruit workers from the original Lifang factory or train our own people?"
Zhang Hai thought for a moment and said, "The advantage of directly hiring workers from the original factory is that they can start work as soon as they arrive, without delaying production. However, the disadvantage is that we cannot train our own workers. I prefer to train our own people."
What Zhang Hai said made sense, but those workers were too far away from Wahou. If they were closer to Wanfeng, they would definitely be hired and they could produce and teach the disciples at the same time without any delay.
"But that would mean all the female workers at the brick and tile factory would be withdrawn, and the factory would be short of manpower again."
"We have no choice but to hire someone. I asked the secretary, and he said we are allowed to hire people from outside the area."
Wan Feng didn't find this strange. It would be ridiculous if a pilot team was not even allowed to hire people.
Luan Feng hired so many people but no one said anything.
"In that case, once the team headquarters has the equipment installed, we'll hire a few masters from the pear room to train apprentices. Once these people have completed their apprenticeship, we can start business."
"For raw material procurement, I've already asked the people at the pear house to contact the original buyer. He's more familiar with the area than us figuring it out on our own."
Zhang Hai did not object.
"I've estimated that it will take at least six trucks to bring all this equipment back at once. I'll contact Transport Team 2 tomorrow. If they can hire a truck, we'll set out the next morning to get the equipment. You'll need at least thirty people. It would be even better if Transport Team 2 had a crane."
After everything was arranged, Wan Feng returned home and set off for Hongya County early the next morning.
Wanfeng went directly to the Second Transport Team and found Master Han and told him that he wanted to hire a car to transport the equipment.
Just after the Chinese New Year, the fleet did not have many transportation tasks, so Wan Feng easily hired six trucks, including a five-ton crane.
The two parties agreed to meet in front of the Gushan Supply and Marketing Cooperative on the morning of the 18th day of the first lunar month and then rushed back without stopping.
Today is the opening day of Luanfeng Garment Factory. The scheduled opening time is 9:58 am with firecrackers, so he must rush back.
Wan Feng rushed back at half past nine.
There were already more than a dozen girls and some boys from the depression in Luan Feng's yard.
Of course, these girls all work here, including Jiang Min, Gu Qiaoling, Erman, and people from Xiaoshutun in Waqian. Liang Hua also appears here.
And those guys were the ones who joined in the fun later.
"Happy New Year, Director!" Erlan was the first to rush over and stretched out her snow-white little hand.
I feel relieved that Erman can come to Wanfeng on time. At least I can be sure that her family has not spread rumors about her being here, which is good.
"Go find your master. She is the factory manager."
"Both of you are like that. She is stingy and won't pay."
Wan Feng's face turned serious: "I won't scratch it anymore?"
"Humph! A pair of misers!"
Zhan Xinghua put his hands on his waist and gave Wan Feng a big hat.
In order to motivate employees' fighting spirit, to produce better results, and of course to avoid being called a miser, Wanfeng gave a red envelope to every working employee.
There is one yuan and eighty cents in it.
"It's so little, only one yuan and eighty cents." A girl in front of the depression whispered.
"This means getting rich. What does the amount of money have to do with it? It's mainly for good luck. A bunch of money-grubbers."
After hearing Wan Feng's explanation, the girls' anger turned into joy.
Liang Hua is the one who benefited the most here. Wan Feng gave her a red envelope of two yuan during the Chinese New Year, and she got another one today. She had no objection and just ran aside to enjoy herself secretly.
