June 24, 1982.
A month has passed since the last plan was drawn up to attract township enterprises from all over the country to move in.
During this month, there were some companies that moved into Wa, but most of them were from various towns and villages in Hongya County.
For example, the Warrior Commune Machinery Factory specializes in producing electric motors, the Black Reef Commune Machinery Factory specializes in producing fragmentation crushers, the Great Britain Commune Machinery Factory produces blowers, and there are also factories that produce vises, radiators, reflectors, and grinding wheels...
However, there are very few companies from other places. Apart from the Dongdan Tire Factory, there is only a small factory called Haiyanghong that produces machine tools.
A common feature of these small factories is that their products have low technical content. For example, the various electric motors produced by the Warrior Commune Machinery Factory are already considered to have high technical content.
Wan Feng was not in a hurry. Everything takes a process. It was not something that could be achieved tomorrow if you said so today. He believed that as long as there was a phoenix tree, it would attract the phoenix sooner or later.
As the saying goes, if the East is dark, the West will be bright. Although there are not many manufacturers in Wahou Market now, the technical personnel recruited by Wan Feng through those buyers have some extra surprises.
As soon as June began, Wan Feng had received several waves of technicians from other places who came to the Wahou Machinery Factory to take a look. Among these people, some were retired and some were not. Some had studied automobile engines, some had studied gearboxes, and some had studied clutches and rear axles.
These people were deeply surprised that a business run by a small team could produce tractors and tricycles.
They were particularly shocked by the tricycles that had just been registered.
The tricycle caused a huge response as soon as it came out, and sales were extremely hot.
When Sutun Agricultural Machinery Company saw what this was, it placed an order for 80 units in one month. Several other agricultural machinery companies that sold Wahou tractors also placed orders for dozens of units.
These people were envious as they watched the big trucks pulling out goods one after another.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that this was a product of a team-run enterprise.
Wan Feng looked forward to the future of Wahou to them.
"In a few years, we'll also be producing agricultural vehicles. If we can overcome the technical difficulties, we'll also produce trucks, motorcycles, and even cars. Therefore, we need technical talents like you to stay and develop with us to create a future that belongs to us!"
Wan Feng has no plans to build cars in the future, because it is not as simple as making four-wheeled or three-wheeled cars.
However, being able to make it and daring to shout about it are two different things. Let’s just blow it first.
These people were indeed frightened and decided to come to Wa to work.
Of course, just bragging about conditions that don't excite people is useless.
Wahou promised to give these technicians a monthly salary of up to 100 yuan, a separate living environment, reimbursement of all expenses for returning home to visit relatives, and meet all the work conditions they requested.
There is always a brave man under a big reward. These technicians who came here to observe have signed a letter of intent to work. After returning to handle some official or personal matters, they will come to work in Wa.
Today is June 24th, and tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival of 1982.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, every family will make rice dumplings and stick branches of mugwort, calamus and peach trees under the eaves. Engaged young men will invite their future wives home to celebrate the festival.
I can understand Wan Feng’s thoughts on making rice dumplings and inserting mugwort, but I still don’t understand why he calls his wife Wan Feng. What is the relationship between the Dragon Boat Festival and his wife?
You said that August 15th is a festival of reunion, so it is understandable to invite your future daughter-in-law to your home. However, the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan who committed suicide by jumping into the river, so it is a bit ridiculous to invite your daughter-in-law to your home as well.
"Second Factory Director means that you won't ask your wife to come back to celebrate the holiday tomorrow?" Wan Feng was so bored that he just asked his question when Hao Qing caught his mistake.
Wan Feng was a little dumbfounded. "Hao Qing, that woman, is just like that. You're already a mother, why are you joining in the fun? You're just trying to sow discord, okay? You can't be such a bad person. No wonder you gave birth to a little girl."
"Feng'er, you're just being conceited. People won't invite you to the festival anymore." Hao Qing, fearing chaos in the world, shouted at Luan Feng who was talking to the employees.
There are many engaged women working in the garment factory, so of course they have to take a holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival so that they can go out and harvest leeks.
When the daughter-in-law is asked to go back for the holidays, her in-laws have to give her money, because they have to give money for each holiday, just like cutting leeks, one crop after another, until they get married.
Here it is called cutting leeks.
"You have the afternoon off and will be back to work on time the day after tomorrow. Those on the night shift will be back to work the night after tomorrow. Did everyone remember that?"
“Remember!”
"Okay, time for vacation!"
As soon as Luan Feng announced the holiday, the girls disappeared outside the gate in the blink of an eye, just like a hen rushing out of the chicken coop while her chicks run away.
Several people who were looking for partners in Wahou were picked up as soon as they went out.
"Oh! We are finished. There is no chance to reap the benefits anymore." Zhan Xinghua, who got married on May Day, sighed.
"You're not bad. At least you cut one more knife of leeks than Erman and I. We are the ones who really lost out. We only cut two knives and got married. Look how smart our factory director is. She will start cutting leeks now, and cut three knives a year. By the time she gets married, how many leeks will she have cut?"
Luan Feng is no pushover: "Then you should go back and divorce her immediately, then find someone else to marry when you're thirty. If you cut three times a year, you can cut more than thirty times in ten years. How exciting is that!"
"Bah! You are the one getting divorced!" Li Erman, Lanzhi and Zhan Xinghua said in unison.
"How come this guy is just like someone else? Our factory has followed his example and has also learned bad habits!"
"Go back and feed your baby, stop nagging."
The three women left with the charm of young ladies.
Jiang Min, who has always been a difficult person, seems to have found a target. It is said that the target is the son of an old co-worker of her father's unit. The two have just met and have a good impression of each other.
Jiang Min didn't let Wan Feng see her off. Instead, she went to the market and took Xiao Jun's car to the station to take the bus back.
After all these people left, Luan Feng looked at Wan Feng viciously.
"You're the one who said you didn't want me to come to the festival?"
Wan Feng was wronged: "When did I say that?"
"That's what Hao Qing said just now!"
"Don't listen to her nonsense. They are deliberately making trouble and trying to sow discord between us."
"Hmph! Liang, you don't dare. Call me over whenever you want."
"Aren't you here now?"
"That doesn't count. I have to go home, and then you can come to my house with your gifts and have dinner before I can come back with you."
"Then I'll go after dinner."
"I dare you! I'll go home now and you can follow."
This woman must be crazy. She won’t be back until after dinner anyway, so what should I do now?
"Come with me to the market. I haven't been to the market properly yet."
The market was just to the right of her house, but she had the audacity to tell him that she had never been to the market.
I believe it's weird.
