Chapter 183 The Road to Wealth Begins 2
In the brigade office, everyone was talking about the interesting stories of the brigade leader.
The women's director also said, "The members of our brigade like the title of brigade leader. Last year, after the flood, everyone had no food, and the grain supply came. There were many brigades affected by the disaster, and the grain supply was not enough to distribute. The brigade leader did not wait for other brigades to go to the commune. He waited at the gate of the commune early every day. When the grain was delivered, he went to help unload the goods. Without waiting for the commune to distribute, he pretended to be so hungry that he was about to faint, and asked the commune to allow him to take some food back first, saying that dozens of people in the village had fainted. The commune leader asked him to take two bags back first, eat full, and then wait for distribution. He went to find two large bags, put four bags of food in two large bags and left. As a result, when the commune leader distributed the food to our brigade, he found that our brigade had received too much. The commune leader was so angry that he severely criticized the two comrades who were watching the grain. Our brigade did not lose a single person last year because of the extra food. The grain supply was not enough to distribute, and many elderly people in the brigade had nothing to eat. Their health was poor, and they eventually died of jaundice."
Yi Ke asked curiously, "The two comrades who were watching over the grain allowed the captain to take four bags of grain without any care?"
The team leader chuckled and said, "I gave them one yuan each, but they said that the leader told me to take two bags back first. Haha, take two bags, I just used my own bag to pack two bags, so that's two bags. The leader didn't say to take their bags, so the comrades who looked after the grain just followed the leader's instructions, there was nothing wrong with that. Even if they were wrong, it was a misunderstanding and they won't be punished."
Yike was really impressed by the captain. It turned out that he was such an upright man on the outside, but he was actually so sinister inside. It seemed that the bag factory made the right decision to appoint him as the sales chief.
The secretary knocked on the table, and everyone turned their attention to him: "Let's talk about business first."
"Yes, yes, hey, everyone, sit down, sit down. Let's talk, let's read out the list of production team leaders first and see how they have arranged it." The team leader sat down, drank a sip of water, and returned to his serious look. The accountant read out the list in his hand: "The first production team is Wang Cuiping, the daughter of the team leader's eldest brother. She is eighteen years old this year and is engaged to Liu Dagang from our team. She will not marry out of our team in the future; the second production team is Wang Daqiang's wife Xu Yinfeng. Xu Yinfeng is one of the first batch of educated youth and is from the Northeast. The third production team is Wang Liang's wife Liu Chaochao, whose family is also from this village; the other two are Liu Dongmei, the wife of the secretary's youngest son, and Liu Xiaoxiao, the wife of the team leader's eldest son. These people are all good at needlework in the village, and their families are also from this village. They will not spread the method of making bags to others. Even though Wang Daqiang's wife's family is not from this village, her family is far away and it is impossible for her to spread it." The accountant not only read out the list, but also talked about the things to pay attention to when selecting people.
"Ziyi, what do you think of these people? You are the factory director and the final decision is in your hands." The secretary said to Ziyi.
"I don't care about the recruitment. You can just discuss it with others. After all, you are familiar with it. As long as they are not cunning or lazy, it will be fine. Of course, it is better if they are dexterous and easy to learn." Ziyi expressed his opinion.
"That's decided then. We'll use one of the ancestral hall's rooms as a temporary factory building. We'll build another one when we have money. As for the air-raid shelter, forget about the light because it's not good," said the captain.
"A sewing machine at the supply and marketing cooperative costs about 150 yuan, and you also need sewing machine tickets. Five sewing machines will cost at least 800 yuan. Our team only has money for one sewing machine, and with the money the members earned from making bags this time, we are still short of money for four sewing machines. Can you guys think of how to get the money? And how do we get the sewing machine tickets?" The secretary raised the most difficult question.
Everyone stopped talking and fell into deep thought.
Ziyi and Yike both drank the boiled water silently. They could solve this problem, but they still had to see the determination of the cadres first.
After a while, the team leader broke the silence. He said in a low voice, "The only thing that can be converted into cash in our team now is the cow that Ziyi gave to the first production team. If we sell it, we can only buy two sewing machines. Do you want to sell it? Buy as many as you can first, and buy the rest after the bags are sold."
Everyone was silent for a while, and finally the secretary said helplessly: "Then let's sell it first, and then buy it back and return it to the First Production Team when we have money. But the work points of this cow belong to Ziyi, and if you sell it, they will be gone. Ziyi, you see..." The secretary was a little embarrassed. The cow belonged to someone else. Not only would he not make any money if he sold it, but he would also lose the work points. He was really embarrassed to speak up.
The accountant said, "This is a wild bull. It's very strong. The captain of the first team praises it every day, saying that it is worth four strong men. If we sell it, we won't be able to buy such a good bull in the future. And the captain of the first team, Wang Hongjun, will definitely not agree."
"Wang Hongjun will definitely not agree. He treasures this cow so much that he refuses to let the two bad guys in the cowshed raise it for fear that they will sabotage it." The women's director also said.
"He has to agree even if he disagrees. This is to contribute to improving the lives of the entire team. He has no choice but to agree." The team leader said sternly, and the secretary nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they were almost set to sell the cow, he nudged Ziyi with his foot under the table.
Ziyi coughed lightly, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said, "I am the factory director, and I am a technician in the factory. Let's find a way to borrow money. There is no need to sell the cow. The accountant is right. After selling the cow, we will never be able to buy such a good cow again."
"This is not a small amount of money. Can you really borrow so much? If you really can't bear to part with it, we can postpone setting up the factory later, or continue to send the work home as we do now, and earn less the better." The women's director said in a low voice, but everyone still heard it clearly.
"That won't work. Next month is the busy summer harvest season. If every household is busy making bags at night, they will have no energy during the day, which will affect the speed of summer harvest." The captain retorted, and then asked Ziyi: "Ziyi, can you really borrow money?"
"Sure, it's no problem for me to borrow three or two hundred from my friend, and Yike can also borrow three or two hundred from her aunt. Her aunt's family all have jobs, so they should be able to pay it back. The first thing to do is to pay it back after making money, so as not to break your promise. As for the sewing plane tickets, I will also find a way to get them, so you don't have to worry about this, it will only take three or two days at most. As for the fabric, today Yike, the team leader and I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find the director to sign a contract, and then let him take us to the fabric factory to buy fabric, and let the supply and marketing cooperative advance part of it, and the fabric factory will sell part of it on credit, and the problem will be solved." After these two meetings, Ziyi knew that some of the team cadres were good at production, but they really didn't understand business matters. After he had an idea in his mind, he made the decision directly.
Yike looked at Ziyi lazily. In her previous life, Ziyi made steady profits doing business all over the world. She could handle a small factory like this without any effort. Now that Ziyi has recovered his memories of his past life, she can live a carefree life like she did in her previous life.
