The machines needed by the factory have been delivered by Rong Zheng and his team and should arrive before evening.
Qian Xiaolan was driving her boat home in a hurry and saw a large ship parked at the dock from a distance.
A group of people were carrying things to the shore.
"Uncle!"
Qian Xiaolan moored the boat to the shore and called for help happily.
Rong Zheng turned around and saw her, curled the corners of his mouth and waved at her.
Qian Xiaolan climbed onto the big ship and was excited when she saw the complete set of assembly line production equipment.
Although these devices are not as good as those in later generations, they are already the most advanced in the world at that time.
Mixing equipment, reaction equipment, filling equipment, testing equipment, packaging equipment, cooling equipment...
Qian Xiaolan checked them one by one. Every time she touched a machine, she quickly calculated in her mind how many products she would need to sell to make a profit.
There's nothing I can do about it, she's just too poor.
These devices cost her nearly three million!
Who wouldn't feel bad when spending so much money without earning a penny?
Seeing her distressed look, Rong Zheng tapped her head with his fingers and said, "You don't have to pay for this equipment. It's a gift from my uncle."
Qian Xiaolan was stunned, then smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite to you, little uncle.
In the future, if you need anything, just tell me. I will not be stingy with what I have."
"Then I won't be polite! When I leave this time, just prepare some more tiger bone wine for me."
Qian Xiaolan thought about the inventory of tiger bone wine and agreed with a smile.
Decided to trade with Ah Hu for another set of tiger bones to make wine in the evening.
While the uncle and nephew were talking, the workers had already unloaded all the machines from the boat.
The shore was already crowded with people. After hearing that the factory's machines had arrived, everyone who didn't have anything urgent to do came to watch the fun.
Qian Xiaolan's family was no exception. Hu Guifen looked at the brand new machines and couldn't help muttering:
"If these devices were placed in our own village, how many people would we have to feed?"
No one else heard what she said, but Gu Yanqing and Gu Yujiao who were beside her heard it.
Gu Yanqing frowned, and Gu Yujiao immediately pulled Hu Guifen's clothes.
"Mom, please don't say that. If Sister-in-law hears this, she'll think you're blaming her for not thinking about the people in our team."
Hu Guifen quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "I didn't mean that. I just thought it would be nice if our village had a factory."
"That's good. Remember not to say such things in the future. Otherwise, even if Fourth Sister-in-law is not suspicious, my in-laws will be."
Hu Guifen was not a person who couldn't make sense. She regretted the moment she said that, so how could she dare to say anything more?
Seeing his mother like this, Gu Yanqing curled his lips, and together with Qian Xiaolan, led people to the factory to install the equipment, and then watched the master debug and start it up.
The machine ran smoothly, making bursts of noise. The people gathered outside the factory exclaimed in surprise, their faces full of joy.
Rong Zheng's main purpose this time was to go to the next city to discuss business, and delivering the machine was just a side job, so he didn't stay here long. He visited his old father, had a meal, and then left.
Qian Xiaolan hurriedly moved all the tiger bone wine out of the warehouse and gave it to him to take away.
In the evening, Qian Xiaolan asked Lian Jianghai to convene a meeting for the entire village.
After Lian Jianghai stood on the stilt shed and said a few opening words about common progress, Qian Xiaolan also climbed up and got straight to the point.
"Good afternoon, comrades! The main purpose of calling you all here today is to recruit workers for the factory."
The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
Qian Xiaolan stretched out her hand and pressed it down, and everyone fell silent unconsciously.
She smiled slightly and continued, "I will be the director of Lanqing Cosmetics Factory.
The brigade does not participate in any operations, but I will recruit workers from the brigade and the military dependents' compound.
I have been in Xiawan Production Brigade for quite some time now, and I believe many people already know me well.
Today, let me be frank with you: what the factory needs is hardworking and smart people.
For those who are thinking of playing dirty tricks, I advise you not to sign up, otherwise it will be embarrassing if I catch you in the future."
"Okay, without further ado, let me first talk about the working hours in the factory.
Work 6 days a week and have one day off. The working hours are from 8 am to 6 pm every day. One meal is provided at noon. After passing the training, the monthly salary for the first three months is 20.
Those who do well will get a raise, while those who don’t may be persuaded to resign or fired directly.”
The crowd began to whisper again.
Qian Xiaolan waited until everyone's discussion quieted down, and she said again: "The quota is tentatively set at 100, with an age limit of 16-40 years old, and literate people will be given priority.
These one hundred people will study for seven days and undergo three assessments, and only 30 people will remain in the end.
Well, anyone who is interested can go to Captain Lian to register. "
After Qian Xiaolan finished speaking, the crowd suddenly became noisy.
After a long while, someone raised his voice and said:
"Doctor Qian, to work in a factory, doesn't it only take someone who knows how to work?
You want people who can read, but most of us can't read. Isn't this bullying?
I don't think you just want to select workers from our team!
You are just doing this to save face, how hypocritical!"
After saying this, the man even pouted at the ground with disdain.
Qian Xiaolan listened without changing her expression or eyes.
But some people were not happy.
The Jiang family member who had been saved by Qian Xiaolan before was the first to stand up and refute that person.
"Doctor Qian is not that kind of person! You yourself have received favors from Doctor Qian, and you still have shamelessness. How can you say such things?"
With a start, others also stepped forward.
"That's right, Doctor Qian is such a good person, he is not what you said.
You almost died from stomach pain before, and it was Doctor Qian who saved you. It was you who was worried and insisted on going to a big hospital. You wasted money and now blame Doctor Qian for not explaining things clearly to you.
People like you who are ungrateful are the legendary ungrateful people! "
Even though everyone looked embarrassed by what they said, they were still not convinced.
"You all speak up for her. Did you receive any benefits from her?"
"I see that each of you has been drugged! Who am I saying this for? It's for everyone's good!
No matter how much you flatter them, it’s useless. They want people who can read, and you’ve all been…”
"That's enough! Everyone, just shut up!"
Lian Jianghai listened for a long time but couldn't get a word in. His face became worse and worse. Finally, he couldn't help but snatched the loudspeaker from Qian Xiaolan's hand and shouted.
"Even those who try to sow disunity among the members will have ten work points deducted!
Next, shut up! If you say another word, I'll deduct another ten work points!"
