Chapter 296 With three younger sisters lying on the ground, that's enough to give him a run for his money. ...
After settling the money at the bank, Qin Xiangxiang, along with Secretary Li beside her, felt lightheaded. It wasn't because the amount of money was huge, but because the money had come too easily!
Their factory only provided some raw materials, and they made dozens of times the profit – it's practically robbery!
Previously, Feiyan Textile Factory made its profits through legitimate production, but this dividend is different; it is a dividend from capital investment.
Making money through capital, or generating more money from money, is arguably the fastest way to make money.
"This money came too easily and was too unexpected."
Qin Xiangxiang calmed herself down, thinking, "Stay calm, stay calm." She, Qin Xiangxiang, had long been someone who had seen all kinds of storms. It was just 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, nothing to her.
"When we get back, we need to give all the factory workers a bonus, as well as settle the technical profit sharing for people like Master Lu."
"Okay, I promise I'll arrange everything."
In addition to these bonus and dividend expenditures, Qin Xiangxiang plans to upgrade both of the nurseries in the textile factories into kindergartens.
"We need to upgrade the nurseries in both of our factories into larger kindergartens. We need to find young, more educated preschool teachers, order more children's picture books and other educational toys for the children... We must first run the kindergartens well. There are many female workers in our textile factories, so we need to take good care of the children and let the female workers feel at ease at work."
"Then there's the hospital. Our factory hospital will buy a batch of medical examination equipment, and all workers will get a free medical examination, and then they will get a medical examination once a year."
"Next, we will build a 'Workers' Cultural Palace'. Feiyan No. 1 Factory has a spruce wood rehearsal hall, and we will build a library, a TV room, a chess and card room, and a basketball court here at No. 2 Factory... Also, we will find a larger place, right outside our factory, and build a video hall."
Director Mao Shan came over before and brought some video recording equipment and some movie tapes. We played them in the factory before, but many people gave feedback that the surrounding residents also wanted to watch Hong Kong movies. Many people even secretly climbed over the wall to watch movies in the factory and were caught by the security guards as thieves...
"This video arcade is open to the public and is considered a tertiary industry of the factory. Tickets cost only one or two cents per movie to prevent outsiders from sneaking into the factory to watch movies."
Secretary Li: "Director Mao Shan said that in a few days, he will send over a batch of genuine videotapes of 'Mr. Zombie's Comedy,' which will be played repeatedly in our factory."
Qin Xiangxiang: "..."
It's really weird to show zombie movies in Feiyan No. 2 Factory. What kind of feng shui does Feiyan No. 2 Factory have? She first came here and watched "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes", and now it's "Zombie Comedy".
Can't we have something more positive?
Qin Xiangxiang bought a large double-layer cream cake and brought it home, an act that can only be described as "generous".
"Tonight we're going to kill a chicken, a duck, and a fish to celebrate! Mom, I made money!" Qin Xiangxiang slammed her savings book on the dining table at home, and her three daughters rushed to their mother with starry eyes.
"There's a big cake at home today, everyone gets a big slice, don't rush."
Comrade Li Xiaopang is fourteen years old this year. After the New Year, he will be fifteen. He can't compete with these younger girls anymore. Besides, he has grown taller now, so he can't be called Xiaopang anymore. Humph, he, Li Xiaopang, has grown into Li Qingfeng.
"Dad, in our family, there is a imbalance of yin and yang, and the men on our side are too weak."
Li Jianzhi glanced at him and said, "You're too weak. I'm not weak at all."
“Your mother and I are a pair, we’re on one side. You and your sister are one against three, you can’t beat your third sister.”
Li Qingfeng: "..."
Do I dare to hit him?
His three younger sisters lying on the ground were enough to give him a hard time.
"Dad, are you trying to break up with me? Fine, fine, what's the point of getting this scripture? You go back to Gao Village and stay with your wife, I'm going back to my Flower and Fruit Mountain."
Li Suisui quickly complained, "Mom, my older brother said you're Pigsy's wife."
Qin Xiangxiang: "Then he is Zhu Bajie's son."
Li Jianzhi: "..."
Li Qingfeng: "..."
Li Qinghui, while eating a cream cake, said, "I think my brother is the real Pigsy, and my dad is the White Dragon Horse."
"Daughters are more considerate than daughters." Li Jianzhi thought he was as handsome and dashing as the White Dragon Horse.
Li Qinghui: "Dad's muscles are rock hard, just like a white dragon horse, he runs and exercises every day."
Li Qinghe: "It's still in the water, near the sea, with a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals."
Li Qinglan: "Carrying my mother on her back to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures."
Li Qingfeng: "..."
Qin Xiangxiang: "..."
Li Jianzhi: "..."
Three daughters make a drama.
When Zhou Aodong and Qin Wutong learned that Qin Xiangxiang had made a fortune, they were both stunned, as if in a dream. Especially since they were both employees of a state-owned factory, things had changed drastically in the past two years.
Now, the term "leave without pay" is also popular in state-owned factories. After 1979, many people made a fortune by starting their own businesses. They brought refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines into their homes after they made their money.
Some self-employed individuals can earn thousands of yuan a month, and there are so-called "ten-thousand-yuan households" everywhere.
At that time, ordinary factory workers earned only a few dozen yuan a month, while factory managers earned only one or two hundred yuan. At most, they could say that the factory had good benefits. However, many state-owned factories were experiencing declining profits, and many factory workers were considering leaving to become self-employed.
Therefore, a policy was issued from above—leave without pay.
Go south and try your luck, go to the Pearl River Delta and make your fortune.
By the 1980s, being a factory manager in a state-owned enterprise was no longer desirable; they didn't earn as much as private business owners. Zhou Aodong, who worked at the factory, heard stories of daughters who had become private business owners and made money.
Someone said, "Zhou Aodong, your daughter is so smart, she'll make a fortune if she becomes self-employed!"
"Times have changed."
Yes, times have changed. Her daughter can earn HK$100,000 in dividends for every idea or brilliant idea she comes up with!
Suddenly, he became a millionaire.
The money came cleanly and without any warning. Nobody expected it. Who could have imagined that a zombie movie could achieve such high box office numbers?
"Mom, come and have some cake too! If you don't have enough, we'll buy more. Now that we have money, I'll eat one piece of cake and throw the rest away."
Zhou Aodong chuckled: "You, a little nouveau riche."
"Save this money carefully, don't waste it. Of course, if you want to buy imported home appliances, then go ahead and buy them. We, as your parents, will enjoy life with you. Let's start with an imported color TV. I heard they also have VCRs. I want to watch your movies at home, like 'Mr. Vampire,' right?"
Qin Xiangxiang sighed: "Mom, why don't you go to our factory and see? Director Mao Shan said he'd send us some original videotapes. We're planning to set up a video arcade next door, otherwise people often climb over the wall to sneak into our factory to watch movies."
"Great, that creates the right atmosphere."
...
The family was chatting happily when there was a knock on the door. When they opened it, Xu's mother was standing outside. She had obviously heard about Qin Xiangxiang's money before, since this was a workers' village and the news had spread like wildfire among the workers.
Feiyan No. 2 Film Studio invested in Hong Kong films with its costumes and earned HK$250,000 in dividends. The studio director, Qin Xiangxiang, gave a brilliant idea to the Hong Kong directors and personally received HK$100,000 in director dividends.
This money was all funded through official channels and even earned foreign exchange for the country! The first film co-produced with Hong Kong capital achieved such great success. All the costumes in the film were made by domestic textile factories. It's a source of pride, and the leaders were all smiles. This is a positive example of exporting culture abroad.
"This adds another chapter to the legendary story of 'Factory Director Qin'!"
"One hundred thousand! A ten-thousand-yuan household!"
"Director Qin is our role model..."
...
Hearing these words, Xu's mother could no longer laugh. Dividends, dividends? What dividends? It was clearly something that made people "envious"!
A single idea, a clever scheme, and you get a 100,000 yuan bonus? Isn't that bribery?
But that's not true—because no one can predict how much a movie will gross in advance.
Without the real box office revenue from Hong Kong audiences, it would be a complete loss, with no dividends to be gained.
Box office revenue is the key to success! It's Director Qin's brilliant idea!
Thinking of this 100,000 yuan, Xu's mother felt like she was about to have a heart attack and couldn't catch her breath.
"Director Qin, I heard you got a bonus of 100,000 yuan. Wow, you're a big shot now! A little bit of it between your fingers is enough for us ordinary folks to live on for a year. Think about my Ruwei, she's suffering for you. That damn music troupe isn't doing well now, thank goodness you didn't go, otherwise you'd be the one suffering now! You wouldn't have the same prestige as Director Qin now."
"Could you lend me three to five thousand so my family can build a house? You have a hundred thousand, so you don't need three to five thousand."
They really dare to ask for three to five thousand.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't even lift her eyelids, slowly stood up and said, "Oh my, I really have to thank your Xu family. Back then, you bribed the music troupe so that Xu Ruwei could get a position... Otherwise, I really wouldn't be sitting in the factory director's position."
"However, my becoming the factory manager has absolutely nothing to do with your family. I thank my own mother and my husband, but the Xu family deserves no credit. And this HK$100,000... that's HK$100,000!"
“I just said a few words and I got 100,000 yuan. This 100,000 yuan is my own achievement and I want to use it myself. Even if I tear it up and throw it into the sea, I will not give it to anyone else.”
"If you need to borrow money, go to your workplace or organization; they are more reliable than me."
Xu's mother was so angry that her face turned pale. She originally wanted to come and cause trouble for the Qin family, but Qin Xiangxiang's words were more and more witty.
