In the second half of the night, it started raining outside. The rain was neither heavy nor light, and it hit the roof and plant leaves, making a mixture of crackling and rustling sounds.
Wan Feng, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of rain.
He has an innate love for rain, especially rainy nights like this.
In the dark night, close your eyes and listen to the rustling sound of rain hitting leaves or roof.
At this time, he will feel as if he has entered an ethereal fantasy world, and all the cells in his body are as cheerful as elementary school students on vacation.
That kind of comfort comes from the bone marrow. I guess this is what it feels like to become an immortal.
In the past, whenever it rained outside at midnight, he would close his eyes and listen for a long time, until he didn't even know when he fell asleep.
Tonight was no exception. Wan Feng closed his eyes and pricked up his ears to enjoy the emptiness. Every limb seemed to be groaning comfortably.
But this enjoyment comes at a price.
Unfortunately, he got up late in the morning.
No matter it was winter or summer, he would automatically wake up at five o'clock every morning. He had already forged an accurate clock in his body with spiritual energy.
But the clock malfunctioned today. Could it be that water leaked in from the rain last night and corroded the clock?
I got up an hour later than usual.
The rain outside is not as heavy as last night. Now it is drizzling like cow hair.
Wan Feng frowned.
As the saying goes: If it drizzles first, there will be no heavy rain; if it drizzles later, there will be no sunshine.
Don't expect the sun to come out today.
Since the nanny had come, Luan Feng naturally couldn't go to work. After breakfast, she ran to the market with an umbrella and bought a big bunch of umbrellas. She bought one for each of Wan Feng's grandmother, aunt and two little ones and went to the market in a proud manner.
Luan Feng’s slogan is: I want to eat all the delicious food in the market today.
Wan Hongxia and Wan Yan were so happy that their noses and eyes were dislocated, like flounders.
The team set off happily.
Wan Feng and Wan Shuiming fell behind by one step.
When the eldest uncle came to work, Wan Feng took his third uncle to visit his small electronics factory first.
"You actually produced these tape recorders?" Wan Shuiming looked incredulous.
"I'm not that capable, but I assembled some of them. Take two of them back and listen to them when you get back."
Although Wan Feng knew that the tape recorder could make money, he didn't really take it seriously. If he took it seriously and wanted to develop in this direction, he would have hired someone to research the movement himself a long time ago.
That way his profits will increase a lot.
After the tour, the two walked out of the yard, each holding an umbrella and heading towards the village.
"So how much can a worker in your small electronics factory earn in a year?"
"My annual salary is around 1,000 yuan now, with a 500 yuan bonus at the end of the year. I also get some benefits on weekdays, like some cooling allowance in the summer and heating allowance in the winter. It's about 1200 yuan."
By 1985, wages had begun to rise, and a worker's monthly salary was generally around 50 or 60 yuan.
In the infrastructure team, the salary of a skilled worker was six yuan a day, and that of an unskilled worker was three yuan a day, which was the highest wage standard at the time.
For Wan Shuiming, an annual income of 1,500 to 1,600 yuan is very high. Even with the increase in grain purchase prices this year, the income from one mu of land will not exceed 50 yuan. For a family like his with six or seven mu of land, it is considered good if they can earn 300 to 400 yuan.
"Your small factory now has more than ten people. So the annual salary will be more than 20,000 yuan. How much can you earn in a year?"
Whenever I think of Wan Feng, I feel a little discouraged. It’s not that he earns less money, but that he earns a lot.
This small factory with more than a dozen employees now has an annual profit of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, but it only pays out 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in wages a year.
The evil capitalists all deserve to die.
I have now joined the ranks of the damned.
"A few tens of thousands." Wan Feng was too embarrassed to tell the truth and reduced the number tenfold.
"Holy crap! Earning tens of thousands a year! That's something I can't even imagine."
"So I want you to come out. If you're still not willing, let's go to the market and take a look."
The two walked into the market.
Although it was raining, the market shed was still bustling with people, and countless vendors were bargaining with the stall owners.
Wan Feng and his friends walked into the shoe area, which was filled with shoes, including leather shoes, sandals, cloth shoes, casual shoes and travel shoes.
"Have you seen these stall owners? If they manage well here, they can make 10,000 yuan a year. If they don't manage well, they can easily make 3,000 or 5,000 yuan a year. At the very least, they can still earn enough to eat."
At this moment, Wan Shuiming felt that the world he knew before seemed to have changed.
Compared with those vendors who were in a hurry to get goods, Wan Feng and Wan Shuiming were much more leisurely, strolling leisurely in the market with umbrellas in their hands.
Wan Feng kept telling his uncle about various things in the market, such as the prices, origins, and workmanship quality of the goods.
"If you don't want to do business, I can rent you a stall here, specializing in selling clothes from my garment factory. It's not a big deal to make 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year."
After wandering around the market for more than two hours, Wan Feng and Wan Shuiming walked out of the market and into the machinery factory.
After entering the machinery factory, Wan Shuiming was more like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, and he kept saying "wucao wucao".
“I never thought these four-wheeled tricycles could come from your small village. It’s simply a miracle.”
Xiao Dexiang saw Wan Feng coming and came out of the office to greet him.
Wan Feng introduced Wan Shuiming and Xiao Dexiang to each other, and then visited the production and assembly workshops of the machinery factory accompanied by Xiao Dexiang.
After staying in the machinery factory for more than half an hour, Wan Feng and Wan Shuiming headed towards the garment factory.
"We'll have lunch in the garment factory cafeteria at noon, and then visit my new factory in the afternoon."
When he arrived at the garment factory and saw the scale of Wanfeng Garment Factory, Wan Shuiming didn't know what to do.
"There are so many people, maybe two or three hundred?"
"This is just one class. There are two more classes that haven't arrived yet."
"Six or seven hundred people?!"
"More than seven hundred, but less than eight hundred."
"Are these all hired by you personally? Is this allowed by the state?"
"It's allowed now. It wasn't possible before and we had to do it secretly."
Speaking of this matter, we have to thank the melon seed king. If he hadn't caused that incident and alarmed the central government, the problem of the number of employees might still not be solved.
Since Luan Feng is not here, Jiang Min has to take full responsibility.
"Why aren't you home with your grandma?"
"Feng'er is strolling with me. My third uncle and I came to the factory to take a look."
Accompanied by Jiang Min, Wan Feng and Wan Shuiming visited the garment factory again.
When I arrived at my own factory, the tour was more detailed. I visited the cutting workshop, sewing workshop, post-processing workshop, as well as the finished product warehouse and material warehouse.
