Chapter 789: Sincerity Touches the Heart
Lu Miao chose carefully, but couldn't find anyone who could sew, so he picked a few sisters-in-law who were good at handicrafts or careful.
Three of them were assigned to Mei Zi, who was asked to help teach her how to use the sewing machine.
Among the other four people, two are good at crocheting and knitting.
The other two are entirely about being meticulous.
Lu Miao originally had no intention of recruiting the latter two.
But from their weathered faces, Lu Miao could roughly glimpse some of the hardships of life. Out of soft-heartedness, Lu Miao still kept them.
Like Mei Zi, the people who work in the factory yard are not paid on a daily basis, but on a per-person basis.
In the past, Lu Miao charged Mei Zi one and a half cents for each hair band and hair tie.
Now these people are charged only one cent.
First of all, hair bands and hair ties are really simple.
Secondly, it is being revised again and again.
Various crocheted accessories were added to the original basis, and the cost gradually increased and had to be controlled.
The labor fee seems low, but it is actually not expensive.
I remember that in the past, the child’s father worked as a laborer in the hot summer, and he was only paid two cents for moving a box of goods around.
In comparison, the work in the factory yard is quite easy.
Let’s talk about crocheting.
Different styles have different prices.
Crocheting is much more troublesome than using a sewing machine to make a hair tie, so the price of handmade ones is a bit higher.
According to the difficulty level, Lu Miao divided the prices into three levels: three points, five points and eight points.
This was how the first few people were assigned, and Lu Miao also made arrangements for the two sisters-in-law who were shortlisted purely because of their carefulness.
Arrange to do processing work on one side.
For example, stringing beads for accessories.
Or they operate the sewing machine in front, and they sew the hair ties and loose rings that come out to fix the accessories.
The job is relatively low technical, and the only requirement is a strong finish.
Therefore, the wages are relatively low, with the finished product costing two cents each.
Lu Miao doesn't cheat people. All kinds of benefits are agreed upon before recruitment. If you can do it, just cooperate. He will never force you.
Of course, she also said some things before.
Whether it is a craft or a technology, they can learn whatever they want and start their own business in the future.
However, it is not advisable to imitate them completely and then poach their customers.
But this matter depends on one's character.
Even if someone really did this, Lu Miao couldn't do anything to them.
Anyway, there is no harm in saying a few more words about everything.
After everything was finalized, Lu Miao went to the market and bought some storage baskets.
In order to facilitate settlement, they were asked to take baskets and pack the goods separately while working to avoid mixing them together. Just sorting them out would be enough to be a hassle.
Mei Zi is an old man who has followed Lu Miao for a long time.
Lu Miao trusted her, and when he was not around, he handed all the power over to Mei Zi.
As the exams approached at the end of the month, Lu Miao went to the factory yard less and less frequently.
Settlement is done every day or every two or three days.
The sisters-in-law became more and more proficient at their work, and as they accumulated more finished products, they were afraid that others would be anxious.
In order not to delay the settlement and cause any more trouble and panic for the employees, Lu Miao simply counted out 200 yuan and gave it to Mei Zi.
Let Mei Zi keep track of her accounts and make her own arrangements every day.
Two hundred yuan is not a small amount, Mei Zi was scared.
Mei Zi was about to refuse several times, but seeing that Lu Miao was really busy, she swallowed the words back.
Mei Zi was worried and thought about it over and over again. Finally, she overcame her psychological concerns on the premise of being trusted.
Mei Zi carefully kept accounts of how much work was done and how much money was paid out every day.
She learned a lot of words at night school, but when she couldn't remember how to write some of them, she used pinyin instead.
Lu Miao could understand it.
Mei Zi is careful and capable. Lu Miao gradually developed more potential in her, and some things were naturally handed over to her.
Of course, Mei Zi’s salary and benefits have also been adjusted.
It turned out that Mei Zi was paid per piece of work, and the people in the courtyard also provided her with one or two meals.
Now Mei Zi is often too busy to go there at noon, so she saves on food expenses.
Lu Miao talked to her and decided to settle the matter based on the money.
But I also told Mei Zi that since she helped with all the big and small matters, I would give her an extra salary of 20 yuan every month.
As for the issue of eating.
Lu Miao meant that Mei Zi could continue to go to the courtyard to eat when she was free.
You should also be mentally prepared that if you are not free, you will have to solve the problem of food yourself.
There are housework and children to do in the courtyard. If Mei Zi can't go there, there is no way to send her things.
Mei Zi was flattered when she heard these words.
She is already an experienced worker. If she works for a full month, she can definitely earn 50 or 60 yuan a month.
Compared with many old employees in factories, they are not much different.
Now she has to add another twenty yuan to the fifty or sixty yuan, and her income will be the same as that of a first-level employee!
Mei Zi was overwhelmed by joy, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt a little hesitant.
She discussed it with Lu Miao in reverse, but couldn't convince Lu Miao with her theory, so she said:
"As for those hair bands and hair ties, from now on I'll be paid one cent for my work, just like everyone else."
Mei Zi's logic is clear and she is very firm in her decision making.
"Before, I had to take care of all the work before and after making a hair tie. Now that someone else is doing the work of fixing the small accessories, I can save time and make more hair ties."
"Sister-in-law, I know you're good to me, and what I said is the truth. Please stop preaching to me, or I'll be really upset."
"Okay then. I'll listen to you."
Lu Miao smiled and patted Mei Zi, silently sighing in his heart:
Mei Zi is a genuinely kind-hearted person, and it's worth it for her to do this for her.
In Mei Zi's heart, Lu Miao is a person who exudes a gentle aura.
Because Lu Miao was good to her, she also wanted to give Lu Miao some good things in return.
Only sincerity can win sincerity.
The two-way rush has always been the most touching part.
…
All matters concerning the factory yard are temporarily handed over to Mei Zi.
When Lu Miao returned home again, he began to concentrate on preparing for the exam.
I used to feel so idle every day, but recently I’ve been unusually busy.
It felt like something was chasing and crushing me.
Busy with the store, busy with my child’s first birthday, and busy with the yard.
The stall hasn't even been properly set up yet, and the exam is already about to begin.
After the exam, the time to return home will be approaching.
Lu Miao originally said that he would go back after finishing the current task.
But it’s not the same with Fu Jingyou.
He had only just taken office and didn't have much foundation, so the factory director allowed him to save up his vacation time and go back, which was already a great favor to him.
When it comes to approving leave, it is not so arbitrary.
These are all matters that appeal to the emotions and reason with people, so there's nothing to worry about.
Lu Miao knew this very well, so he made the most of the fragmented time in front of him.
