Chapter 474 Respecting the Father Through His Son
Of the more than 5,000 households in Shilou Township, about half participated in the making of cat climbing frames.
With so many people working overtime, 15,000 cat trees were completed in less than a month.
Township staff, working with Sheng Xiwen and Sheng Xiwu, inspected products in each village. Those that passed inspection were recorded, packed, and shipped directly.
Any work that fails to meet the standards will be sent back for rework.
Everyone cherishes this rare opportunity to make money. People are honest these days and rarely cheat, so there are very few substandard products.
After all 15,000 cat climbing frames passed inspection, Sheng Lianjie managed to contact a truck from the county to transport the goods to the train station for loading and shipment.
Sheng Xiping transferred the remaining balance to the township government's account, and then the township government distributed the money to each household according to the accounts.
Those with many family members and a lot of work can earn more than 300 yuan a month, while those with less work can still earn more than 200 yuan.
Originally, many people didn't believe that the village had set up this cat tree.
In all our generations, who has ever heard of making a nest for a cat?
Not only is there a bed, but there's also a shelf, a cotton pad, and even things for the cat to scratch and play with? This isn't just raising a cat; it's more precious than raising a child.
I don't know who had a screw loose and came up with this nonsense. It's ridiculous.
There are quite a few people who think this way; they all think it's just nonsense.
The villagers have definitely been scammed. They might have worked hard for nothing in the end.
Therefore, many people did not participate.
Then, when they learned that there was no fraud in the shipment and that everyone who worked had received their pay, they were filled with regret.
If only they had known, they would have taken on some of the tasks assigned by the village.
Earning 300 a month, let alone 100, would be great, wouldn't it? Where can you find 100 yuan these days?
Compared to the regret of these people, those who received the money were all beaming with joy.
"Secretary, is there any more work? If so, please remember us."
"It's winter now and there's less work, so I'll earn some extra money for my eldest son's wedding." Someone happily stuffed the money into their pocket while asking the village official distributing the money.
"I don't know if there will be any more; we'll leave it to the township to decide."
I heard that our village secretary, Sheng, is related to a big boss from the south, and he's trying to find a way for us to make money. Just wait and see; we'll notify everyone as soon as we get any news.”
The village secretary waved his hand, signaling those who had received their money to hurry up and leave so as not to delay the others from receiving theirs.
The news that Shilou Township led farmers to develop sideline businesses, such as weaving baskets and making frames for others, and that they earned a lot of money in a month, quickly spread throughout the nearby towns and villages.
Many township leaders came to Sheng Lianjie, saying that he was dishonest and didn't include them in his profitable business ventures.
"It's a small business, really not worth mentioning. There's not even enough for everyone in our village, so I didn't bother you."
Sheng Lianjie greeted the other township leaders with a smile, speaking politely, but the smugness in his tone was impossible to hide.
Fifteen thousand cat trees, at fifty yuan a set, that's a production value of 750,000 yuan.
After deducting all expenses, the net profit should be around 400,000 to 500,000 yuan. In just over a month, I could have made so much money. I never would have dared to dream of that before.
Moreover, this is only the first batch. Sheng Xiping said that if the sales response is good after this batch of goods is shipped overseas, there will be more orders in the future.
Even if each household earns an extra thousand or eight hundred yuan a year, wouldn't that make their lives much more prosperous? Isn't that a great thing?
"Small business? We've all heard that your village made at least several hundred thousand this time. You call that a small business?"
"Oh, Lao Sheng, now that you're rich, your tone has gotten arrogant too." The bystanders, filled with envy and jealousy, said sourly.
"No, I wouldn't dare say that. The money didn't even end up in my pocket, so how could I be rich?" Sheng Lianjie quickly waved his hand upon hearing this.
Although a small portion of the money went into the township's accounts, Sheng Lianjie dared to say that he didn't take a single penny.
His two sons both work for Sheng Xiping, and their salaries are said to be quite high, which is enough for them.
What do people work hard for their whole lives? Isn't it all for their children?
"Old Sheng, that was just a joke. Let's talk about something serious. If you ever have any profitable business opportunities in the future, remember to include us."
"You say we're all from the same place, so if you're eating meat, we can at least have some soup too," the crowd said, unwilling to give up.
"Okay, okay, I'll remember this. If there are any jobs that can earn money in the future and my village is too busy, I'll definitely ask you for help."
They were all from the same county and saw each other all the time, so Sheng Lianjie didn't want to offend them and nodded in agreement.
The elderly people in their village usually don't even have enough orders to go around in their own village, let alone give them to others.
Unable to glean much useful information from Sheng Lianjie, the group had no choice but to return home.
Compared to the hundreds of thousands earned in Shilou Township, Tengyue Trading Company's profits are several times greater.
After the goods were shipped, the foreign customer transferred the final payment.
Of course, since feedback from overseas customers had not yet arrived, Sheng Xiping did not dare to be careless. Instead of taking the risk of starting production ahead of schedule, he instructed people to pay attention to customer feedback.
As the year draws to a close, there are too many things to do at the company. Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng are busy day and night, and their original plan to return to Northeast China has to be postponed.
The Sheng family's house had been tidied up long ago. After the snow fell, Zhou Qinglan moved back to the new house with Aunt Li and her two sons.
