The machinery factory now has more than 200 employees of various types. The existing staff is just right to support the current production scale of tractors and other products. If another tricycle assembly line is added, a new group of workers will have to be recruited for everything from foundry to machining and even assembly.
Don’t expect to recruit people nearby. If you want to recruit again, you will have to go to various towns and villages.
Don't count on the workers in the city, they definitely won't come to the countryside.
When recruiting people from outside the area, we must at least solve the accommodation problem. It just so happens that the dormitory building has now been topped off and the only thing left is the interior decoration.
This kind of dormitory building doesn't need any exquisite decoration, it's just fine if it's decent enough, and it probably won't take long to move in.
Now that they had a place to live, recruitment notices were posted all over the cities and towns in Hongya City.
We mainly recruit workers for foundry sheet metal and various machine tool processing. Assemblers are not recruited from other places, they can be recruited nearby.
In terms of benefits: the basic monthly salary is 25 yuan, there is a year-end bonus, there is a cooling fee of 15 yuan for three months in the summer, a heating fee of 15 yuan for three months in the winter, and a full attendance bonus of 3 yuan per month for full attendance. Those who live out of town will receive commuting reimbursement once a month.
Full attendance is calculated as twenty-five days.
After calculating all these miscellaneous things, a worker can earn more than 300 yuan a year if he works full time, which is basically equivalent to the salary of a state employee.
The treatment offered by Wahou Machinery Factory is a huge temptation for rural people.
As a result, there was an endless stream of people coming to Wa to inquire about the place.
When they saw the scale and products of Wahou Machinery Factory and the development of Wahou, they signed up without any hesitation.
Xiao Dexiang is responsible for recruiting workers. Recruiting mechanical processing workers requires practical experience, and only those who meet the technical requirements will be accepted.
After a few days of busy work, all the lathe, milling, planing, grinding, drilling, boring, foundry, assembly and sheet metal workers were recruited, and this batch recruited nearly a hundred people.
When all the workers were recruited, the first floor of the dormitory building was also ready. The machinery factory rushed to produce a batch of two-story iron beds, and the workers from other places lived in the dormitory on the first floor.
Fortunately, it is summer now, so it is easier to deal with.
After the Gushan Machinery Factory went bankrupt, the old machine tools were still idle. Wahou invested 80,000 yuan to buy back all the idle lathes, and the three-wheeled production line was established.
With the construction of this tricycle production line, the large yard of the machinery factory has been fully utilized and there is no more vacant space. If anything else is added in the future, the equipment from the shoe factory will have to be moved out.
This is also something Wan Feng has to consider. After the dormitory building is fully completed, Wan Feng plans to build a two-story workshop against the west wall of the shoe factory and move the production line in the yard of the machinery factory there.
After all these were resolved, the three-wheeled prototype vehicle traveled over 5,000 kilometers without any problems.
The tricycle project has entered trial production.
The reason why it is called trial production is that the car has not passed the inspection, does not have a certificate of conformity and production license, and anyone who buys it cannot get a license plate.
The first tricycle off the production line was bought by Xiao Jun.
This guy hired a driver to drive a tractor for him, and also hired a loader to load and unload the truck. The tractor driver was paid 25 yuan a month, and the loader was paid 50 yuan a month. On a good day, he could make three trucks of bricks.
Assuming he works an average of twenty days a month, he can make a gross profit of three hundred yuan a month. After deducting wages, fuel, and wear and tear, he can still have more than one hundred yuan left.
He bought a tricycle and rented it out, earning at least 300 yuan per vehicle.
"What? You want to buy a tricycle? You still owe me more than a thousand dollars for the tractor!" Wan Feng looked at Xiao Jun with squinted eyes.
"Hey, since you haven't paid it off yet, just owe it another one. I promise I can pay it back by the end of the year."
Now he is sure to make a net profit of at least ten yuan a day from renting out the property. Together with the income from the tractor, he can earn more than four hundred yuan a month. There are still seven months left until the end of the year, so even if he can't pay it back, it's almost enough.
"Oh my god, you're such a big shot, you owe me money, like I owe you something. But let me tell you, this car hasn't been inspected yet. You can buy it now and drive it, but you can't get the license plate."
"Haha, do you think you still need a license? As long as you have a good relationship with the commune's agricultural machinery station, no one will bother you at all."
What Xiao Jun said was the truth. Before 1987, no one cared about tractors or even cars unless they were in the city.
At least that's the case in Redcliff.
After 1987, as tractors were used for more and more transportation and some traffic accidents occurred, the Agricultural Machinery Administration began to take some mandatory measures on tractors, such as mandatory license plates, installation of air brakes, and drivers must have a driver's license and vehicles must have a driving permit. Otherwise, if caught, they would not only be fined but also not be subject to annual inspection.
If your car doesn’t undergo annual inspection, you won’t be able to sell it.
"Do you think I should buy a cheaper one or a more expensive one?"
There are two types of tractors coming off the machinery factory, one is semi-enclosed and the other is fully enclosed.
The semi-enclosed one is priced at 2,500 yuan, and the fully enclosed one is priced at 2,800 yuan, with a difference of 300 yuan.
"If you're renting it out, it's of course fully enclosed. If it rains all day, at least you won't be caught in the rain. And when you get back with the truck bed, you'll need a shed, whether it's iron or canvas. It'll keep you out of the rain in the summer and a bit cold in the winter."
"Then I'll buy a fully enclosed one."
"You buy the car and I pay for it, what's the matter?"
Wan Feng paid 2,800 yuan to the machinery factory, and Xiao Jun drove out a brand new car.
"How much is your rental fee?"
"One dollar to one dollar and fifty cents, depending on the price of the goods."
"From now on, it'll be 1.5 yuan per person per trip. 50 cents more is 50 cents more. Anyway, there's no one else doing it for now."
Xiao Jun nodded, then drove the car out of the machinery factory and ran to the parking lot to hang a sign on the car with two big words written on it: For Rent.
Less than two minutes after the sign was hung up, two old customers threw two large bags onto the tricycle and it started to rumble away.
This business is really promising. Wan Feng can be sure that Xiao Jun's daily rental income will not be less than 20 yuan.
There are many people who can see this deal, but unfortunately most people can't afford the car.
It costs more than two thousand yuan. Even if someone in Wahou wants to buy it now, they can’t afford it, let alone people from other production teams.
Wan Feng didn't care about this. Just because he could lend money to Xiao Jun didn't mean he could lend money to others.
The newly recruited workers at the garment factory also started to work, and officially began to implement an eight-hour two-shift system.
Production has also increased accordingly to about 800 pieces per day in two shifts, but demand still exceeds supply.
If it really doesn't work, we'll have to hire people to work in three shifts.
But then we have to solve the accommodation problem first. When the brigade’s dormitory is fully completed, should we arrange for the workers to live in the building?
Take advantage of public resources.
Liang Zhang Hai couldn't say anything.
