Su Li returned home in the afternoon and stayed with her three children. Xie's mother prepared lunch for them. Now that the children are older, they can be taken out to play often. Although they have not yet begun to recognize people, they are very well behaved and will not cry no matter who holds them.
During the time that Su Li was at home, Xie's mother and Li Ruiying were much more relaxed. Li Dan and the others were also on vacation, and they would help take care of the children when the family was busy. Su Li specially bought three bamboo strollers on Pinxixi that could be pushed out for playing. Overall, it really saved a lot of trouble.
Most factories nowadays are state-owned, and it is actually very difficult for private factories to buy fabrics. Fortunately, one of Xie Zhengchuan’s comrades-in-arms worked as the deputy director of a state-owned textile factory.
The factory has a backlog of cloth, not because it cannot sell it, but because it dares not sell it. The factory has not yet recovered much of the money from the cloth it has sold, and it is difficult to turn around after having too many triangular debts. The reason for this batch of cloth is that they hope to use the cloth to pay the workers' wages in case they cannot recover the money.
When Xie Zhengchuan contacted him, he almost thought he was hallucinating, because their factory had never cooperated with private factories, let alone a new factory in the countryside.
This batch of cloth from their factory costs about 8,000 yuan. For this reason, Su Li took a special look at the cloth. It must be said that the cloth of this era is really genuine and of good value.
The fabrics were excellent in terms of feel, quality and dyeing. There were a total of more than 40,000 batches of fabrics, including cotton, Dacron, nylon, and some woolen cloth with various colors and patterns. Su Li was very satisfied and not only bought all of them, but also discussed the next step of cooperation.
The garment factory has also completely opened up the market because of Meng Hao's orders from the provincial capital. Although many people in this era look down on self-employed individuals, there are also many people who dare to be the first to try something new. It doesn't make sense to let the whole family starve to death just for the sake of other people's eyes when you know you can make money.
So ten more stores came to us one after another to seek cooperation, and even a tailor shop placed an order.
The garment factory's tractors, tricycles and telephones are all in place.
Seeing that Mengli Garment Factory was getting better and better, everyone was very happy.
In a blink of an eye, it's the end of the month.
Su Li, Xia Xiuzhi and Pan Yumei counted the accounts after the meeting. After deducting expenses, the factory now only had two thousand three hundred and ten yuan. This money was the order money that had just been delivered by a store in the provincial capital.
There are now a total of 40 workers in the factory including Wang Hong. After calculating the wages, Su Li discussed with them again. Wang Hong and Su Lan and Su Fang were busy running the store in the county town, so in addition to the basic salary, each of them received a bonus of 10 yuan. The factory also often worked overtime during this period, so the overtime pay and bonus were increased by 10 yuan per person. Pan Yumei, Xia Xiuzhi, and Su Li each received a salary of 10 yuan plus a bonus of 10 yuan.
That is to say, even if you are an apprentice, you can get a salary of ten yuan in the first month, and you can also get benefits.
The welfare distributed to each person included a box of vanishing cream, a tube of hand cream, a bag of apples, a bag of peaches, a pound of pork, and a box of peach cakes. Even in the county, no other unit could provide such a rich variety of welfare.
Of course, all these things were taken by Su Li from the space, but the quantity was sufficient. The vanishing cream and hand cream were some basic items that Su Li had stocked up before.
But in that era, glass bottles looked very expensive. Pan Yumei and Xia Xiuzhi got them first. After wiping them, they thought they were extremely beautiful. They thought Su Li was really a capable person, as he could buy such beautiful things.
The conference room of the garment factory is now usually used for evening study. The team leaders of each group will notify the meeting early in the morning.
In fact, everyone knew that the salary was about to be paid, so everyone was very happy, suppressed their excitement, and started to move into the meeting room.
The gifts and wages were already prepared and placed on the table. When the workers came in and saw so many things in the conference room, they were shocked.
After everyone was seated, Su Li came in with a stack of salary slips. She smiled at everyone's shocked expressions.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. Today is the day to get paid, so you should be happy. You are so serious, I thought I was some big shot. Come on, relax. If you keep being so serious, I will leave."
After Su Li said this, everyone started laughing and the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.
"Now, let me say a few words. It has been a month since our factory officially started production. I have seen everyone's hard work during this month, but it is worth it. Our factory's orders are constantly increasing, and we have also added a lot of new items. This is all due to everyone's efforts. Here, on behalf of all the leaders in the factory, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for their efforts."
It was the first time that the female workers in Shanghe Village heard such formal words. They were not used to it and didn’t know what to do. It was not until Zhang Lai and Pang Wei led them in applauding that everyone knew how to react.
Su Li smiled and raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"What I'm going to say next is serious. When you entered the factory, I told you that the wages, bonuses and overtime pay in our factory are confidential. Everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement. If I hear that anyone outside is discussing the wages in the garment factory, they will be fired. Because today is the first time our factory pays wages, I'm giving everyone a bonus. In the future, we will pay wages irregularly, and wages will not be paid like this in the future. Starting next month, everyone will collect their wages from Pang Wei. I hope everyone will keep up the good work and keep working hard. Without further ado, I'll start paying wages."
"The first one is Liu Shuying."
Liu Shuying earned 18 yuan last month, and when she took the money home she bought some meat. Together with Su Lan and Su Fang, they have three formal workers. Plus Su Shan helps Su Li run a garment factory, and earns 80 cents a day, so the family earns more than 70 yuan a month.
The whole family was so happy that they couldn't sleep that night when the salary was paid. The salary had increased to 10 yuan a month, and her two daughters were also hardworking and successful in the county. She had discussed with Su Shan that their combined salary was enough to cover the family expenses, so she let the two daughters keep their salaries as dowries.
Liu Shuying walked to the podium excitedly but restrainedly. Su Li handed her an envelope containing her salary and then pressed her fingerprint on the salary slip. As soon as she touched the envelope, she knew there was a lot of money and immediately smiled.
Pan Yumei took the gifts and handed them to her one by one. Looking at so many things in her hands, she felt really warmed. She had heard from Xiuzhi that the factory had bought so many new things and spent a lot of money, but her sister-in-law insisted on giving everyone bonuses and benefits. It showed how kind her sister-in-law was. Her job was much more rewarding than that of her brother-in-law in the county!
The lowly female workers were excited when they saw Liu Shuying taking so many things. When they heard Su Li reading out the names, they also hoped that they would be the next one.
One by one, they went up to receive their wages and gifts, and when they sat down, everyone was smiling. Su Li, Xia Xiuzhi and Pan Yumei were also happy watching this. Perhaps this was the sense of accomplishment that the third son's wife was talking about.
