Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan's company is called Huaguang. At that time, they thought about a lot of names and chose them for a long time. In the end, they felt that "Huaguang" was easy and easy to remember, and even primary school students in the first and second grades knew these two words. how good
Huaguang has no office for the time being, but there is a warehouse, which was vacated by Liang's father for them.
But now the warehouse is empty, Liang Qinxuan and Guan Baiyu are currently huddled in the small workshop that does the processing for them every day.
This is their company's first product, and the quality must never go wrong, and without staff, they can only watch for themselves.
The small workshop was opened in a self-built house in the countryside, and the sewing machines used by the people working inside were also old-fashioned.
In the 1980s, one of the big things to buy for local weddings was a sewing machine. For a few years, people with decent family conditions would buy sewing machines and bicycles when they got married.
Everyone can still use bicycles, but sewing machines... Many people don't use them at all. They put them in the corner of their homes, and they just fall into dust.
For this reason, the men and women working in the workshops mostly bring their own sewing machines.
That's right, man.
In Changxi City, compared with heavy industry, light industry has developed better. Factories often recruit women workers, and men have difficulty finding jobs.
This kind of small workshop pays money by piece, not limited to men and women, and naturally there are men who are willing to do it.
The small workshop is run by a husband and wife. The wife is in charge of receiving business and collecting money, the husband is doing things such as moving things and delivering things, and their parents are cooking at home for the workers and doing some tidying work. The whole family is very busy.
Many private enterprises rely on their own family members to do this little by little.
A door opened in the middle of the two main rooms of the family, one side was occupied by more than a dozen workers, and the other side was filled with some goods and two tables.
One of these two tables is used for eating, and the other is a tea table for workers to drink tea.
Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan were sitting at the dining table, doing their homework together.
"Guan Baiyu, you haven't written your winter vacation homework?" Liang Qinxuan was surprised.
Guan Baiyu said, "What's so strange about this?"
"Don't you like doing quizzes very much? Why don't you do it after so long in winter vacation?"
"I went to my brother's hometown." "Isn't that in the mountains? You can't even watch TV in the mountains, and you can't do your homework?"
Guan Baiyu glanced at Liang Qinxuan: "Without the TV, would you be willing to do your homework? No more fun?"
"Of course, but I thought you wouldn't play..."
Guan Baiyu ignored him.
Of course he won't go to play, he wants to accompany his brother.
But it's rare that his brother and him are all right, and when they can get along, he does his homework when he's crazy.
He didn't take his homework to Shi Zhen's home at all!
Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan were both doing their homework.
In fact, Liang Qinxuan's winter vacation was not easy - he had to go to make-up classes every day.
That's why he didn't do his winter vacation homework either.
"You don't need to learn these things to start a company, right? Why do I have to learn so much?" Liang Qinxuan was a little unhappy, "My dad doesn't understand this, so he still runs a big company!" Although his dad was a teacher, his high school science knowledge , his dad can't understand it anymore!
"You want to start a company bigger than your father, and of course you have to study!" Guan Baiyu didn't hesitate, "And... the times are changing so fast, are you sure you can't go out and have a look?"
In recent years, many upstarts have emerged in Changxi City, and many people have made their fortunes by doing business.
As a result, some remarks, such as reading is useless, are also rampant.
Especially those bosses who made money without reading a book like to say this.
However, Shi Zhen has always sneered at these, and often told Guan Baiyu that reading is very important. Guan Baiyu has always listened to Shi Zhen, and naturally he persevered in urging Liang Qinxuan to study.
Liang Qinxuan has a lazy personality, but it's not that he really doesn't want to study.
For example, he didn't live in school before, and he couldn't control himself to play when he got home. Now that he lives on campus, he spends evening self-study with other classmates, so he also learns along with him.
The two learned to learn, and at noon, the boss's parents called the workers to pick up food.
The food here is packaged, but the food is not very good. For example, today, it is a bowl of braised radish with a piece of bacon on it. Eat before the sewing machine.
Most people are not picky eaters, and some do not eat radishes or the very fatty bacon, so they give the vegetables to others, take out fermented bean curd or mustard, and eat them with rice.
Liang Qinxuan and Guan Baiyu had better meals than them. They ate with the boss's family. On the table, there was a bowl of braised radishes, a bowl of fried vegetables, a bowl of bacon, and a scrambled egg with garlic leaves.
The most important thing is that the bacon the workers eat is the fatter pork belly, and the pork belly they have here is thinner, and the ribs on the pork belly are also here!
The ribs were not cut off, but two very long ones. Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan each had one, and they were particularly fragrant when they gnawed.
The proprietress also has a child. The child is naughty and does not like to study, and refuses to take the initiative to do homework at home. When they see Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan who are doing their homework actively, can they not praise
After dinner, they began to check the quality of the pencil case made in the morning and count them at the same time.
When checking, if you see a thread or something, take scissors and cut it off.
Most of the pencil cases are qualified, and a few are unqualified, so they have to be dismantled and re-sewed. One of the women who made a lot of products but also has many unqualified products was reprimanded by the boss: "Although it is a piece rate, we It's also about quality. If you make it like this, no one wants it! If you are so perfunctory next time, don't come to me to do it!"
Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan stayed here until 4:30 in the afternoon before going home respectively.
When Guan Baiyu returned home, it was already dark.
Today is the fourteenth of the first lunar month.
Shi Zhen built a house for Fang Changming, and agreed to start the construction tomorrow, to celebrate the 15th reunion of the first lunar month.
However, he has not been idle these days. In addition to settling the people he brought out of the village, Shi Zhen has been teaching them how to build houses.
Today, Shi Xingchao also brought his family there.
Shi Zhen and the others came out on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and Shi Xingchao delayed them for a few more days, and only arrived today.
The house that Shi Xingchao rented for his family is not far from Guan Jianguo, and Shi Zhen helped clean it up today.
Seeing Guan Baiyu's return, Shi Zhen immediately said, "Xiaoyu, you're finally back, let's go, go to Uncle's house for dinner with me."
Shi Zhen helped, and they ate dinner at Shi Dashan's house. Tomorrow night, all of them will go to Shi Dalin to eat.
During the meal, the big guy also chatted about what the Shi Dashan family would do next. Shi Zhen suggested that Shi Dashan follow Shi Dalin and set up a stall for a few days to see the situation. As for Shi Xingchao's sister and Shi Dashan's wife, they can embroider sweaters while walking around the neighborhood to familiarize themselves with the environment.
In two days, new clothes will be delivered from the sweater factory.
In addition, Shi Xingchao's salary, Shi Zhen also mentioned three hundred.
Shi Xingchao was a little embarrassed: "I'm just looking at it for you. You can still embroider sweaters yourself. Two hundred is a lot. Why do you pay three hundred?"
"Because I won't give you food and accommodation in the future." Shi Zhen smiled. He gave Shi Xingchao a salary of 200 a month because he covered room and board. Now that he doesn't cover room and board, he must pay more.
And there is... As the beginning of this year, many factories have raised wages for their workers.
In this era, prices have risen rapidly, and everyone's wages have also risen rapidly. It is normal for monthly wages to rise by 100 a year.
As he was talking, Shi Xingchao suddenly said: "By the way, Shi Zhen, when we came back this time, we saw Shi Zhiqiang and the others at the provincial capital."
"They are in the provincial capital?" Shi Zhen asked.
"Yes, they are in the provincial capital and live at the bus station with their luggage. It is estimated that they have not yet found a job." Shi Xing said.
Shi Zhen is not surprised.
There is no mobile phone now, and there is no information that can be seen everywhere. It is not so easy to find a job. It was normal to find a job when I first came out.
However, things have changed rapidly in recent years. If you really look for it carefully, you will definitely find a job.
They develop in the provincial capital, and maybe they can develop very well.
Of course that has nothing to do with him, he just takes care of himself.
The next day, Shi Zhen took someone to Fang Changming's foundation to help Fang Changming dig the foundation and prepare to build a house.
Fang Changming finally decided to build a two-story villa, which is mainly chic. The focus of this house is on the design, and it is easier to build it when it is built.
Shi Zhen brought people to work in full swing, and also made an agreement with a nearby farmhouse that he would buy vegetables in the future, they would help him make it, and he would give them a processing fee.
He doesn't have many workers at the moment, and it's too expensive to hire someone to cook for them.
Shi Zhen invited an old lady in her 60s. He paid 100 yuan a month, and the old lady was willing to help with the lunch meal, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The old lady also prepared her own.
Of course, Shi Zhen will also pay attention. For example, when buying meat, he directly asks the meat seller to cut it for him, so that it can be calculated as one piece per person, so as to avoid too much meat being stolen by the old lady.
This is not Shi Zhen trying to figure out others with malice, but... This is basically something that will definitely happen.
He cooks for people himself, and he can't guarantee that he won't steal it.
But occasionally eating cheap chicken bones or something, the old lady deducts a little bit, and it's nothing.
Vegetables and rice shizhen are often bought from old ladies, which is cheaper.
After working for a few days, the people who followed Shi Zhen out of the village learned to build walls, how to sieve sand, and how to mix cement, and so on.
Shi Zhen told them that in the first month, because they could not do many jobs, he would give them 200 to teach them all. From the second month onwards, the monthly salary was 300, and then they finished one job. Son, he also gave bonuses, the amount of which was linked to how well they did their work.
The salary was too high, and Shi Zhen couldn't bear it.
Those six people have no opinion, although their income is a little lower than that of Shi Dalin and Zhao Qiujuan, but this is the normal situation!
Moreover, Shi Zhen has a lunch here, and the six of them cook breakfast and dinner together, and it doesn't cost much... They can still save a lot of money!
On this day, Shi Zhen and the others were building a wall when Fang Changming came.
"Brother Fang, are you here?" Shi Zhen, who was working, put down the work he was doing, and the other party Changming said.
Fang Changming looked at it and found that the outline of his house had come out.
Shi Zhen's house was built really fast!
Fang Changming said: "My house, you built it so fast, there won't be any problems, right?"
"How could that be?" Shi Zhen said, "Brother Fang, the cement used is not good, and the problem will arise. Our cement is not ambiguous at all... Did someone tell you something?"
Fang Changming doesn't take care of things very much, and usually comes to see it every evening. There must be a reason for asking this suddenly.
Fang Changming said: "Isn't my brother building a house with me? He hired the mason surnamed Zhang who worked with you before. They want to build the three-story building you built before... He told me of."
Shi Zhen: "..." Fang Changming's younger brother also wants to build a house. Shi Zhen knows about it, but because of the distance, the foundation is still being dug over there, so he hasn't gone to see it.
As a result... They built the house according to the house he built, and even hired a mason who had a bad relationship with him
This is a bit frustrating.
"Can you build a house better than his?" Fang Changming asked.
"Brother Fang, don't worry, your house is definitely better than other people's houses. I'm afraid that we will build it fast and they will build it slowly. In the end, they will learn from us everywhere." Shi Zhendao.
In the past, Mr. Wang's house, he did not look for decoration or anything, but Fang Changming's house, he will do the decoration for Fang Changming.
At that time, he will have some good designs to use, if they are all learned...
"That's it... I'm going to tell him a few words, I dislike him for building slowly... Then he will definitely speed up!" Fang Changming sneered, "The house he built in the end, that is, the house that someone else has already built, is definitely not as good as me. House of!"
It can be seen that the relationship between Fang Changming and his younger brother is really bad.
Shi Zhen still built the house slowly at his own pace.
On the other hand, Fang Changming's younger brother was probably stimulated by Fang Changming, so he called more masons to speed up the construction of the house.
During this period, Shi Zhen took a look... The house he built was exactly the same as the house he built for President Wang. Master Zhang, the mason, said a few sarcastic words when he saw him.
The people on Shi Zhen's side are all beginners, and the speed of work is indeed not as fast as that of skilled hands. There are more people there. It didn't take long for the speed of building houses there to catch up with him.
At this time, Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan's first batch of pencil cases and school bags were finally completed.
When these items are not fully produced, the dealers have already taken part of them, saying that they are going to be sold in the provincial capital. Now that all the items are produced, the dealers will take away the rest and pay them the bills.
Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan were a little excited when they came out to see the dealer during the weekend.
The dealer came in from the outside and saw them, but he laughed: "Your pencil case is selling very well, I want to order another 20,000, but it's better to have more styles, not just two. like!"
Liang Qinxuan asked, "Is the item sold?"
The dealer said: "It's sold, and the sales are pretty good. I took the things to the provincial capital and found a few key schools, and asked the teachers there to give advice to the students, and let the students use pencil cases instead of iron pencils. If the box falls off the table in class like this, it will make a loud noise and affect the things in class... These pencil cases were looted."
This method was originally mentioned by Guan Baiyu.
It's actually not a good idea. After the teacher said that, students often spend more money to buy pencil cases.
But it... does make the pencil case sold in the shortest possible time.
At this time, there are many such things. For example, some people will go to the school and ask the school to buy it, or ask the teacher to suggest that the students buy it.
Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan took the second order without hesitation.
Liang Qinxuan is not stupid. He knows that his own company can be opened because of his father.
But now that their things can be sold... He finally has some confidence and confidence in himself.
As for Guan Baiyu, he calculated the profit, and has already begun to think about producing ballpoint pens.
The plastic barrel of the ballpoint pen can also be processed by someone else. As for the refill, it must be imported from abroad.
When it is produced, it is affixed with their company's label, and it can be sold.
But if they really want to do this, he and Liang Qinxuan who want to study will definitely be too busy, they need to hire someone.
At this time... Father Liang asked for help again.
Backed by a big tree, it is really good to enjoy the shade.
