Shi Zhen first took Guan Baiyu to the newly built factory of Huaguang Stationery Factory.
The prototype of this factory has already come out, and in a month, it should be able to be completed.
The workshop hardly needs any decoration, just buy the machine and install it, after debugging, you can start production.
At that time, in addition to the production of ballpoint pen shells, we also plan to produce plastic rulers.
In addition, they used to import the whole refill of the ballpoint pen, but now they plan to import only the nib, the ink in the ballpoint pen and so on, and produce it themselves.
This will cost less.
In order to build a factory and buy machines, Father Liang borrowed a lot of money from the bank, but if there is no accident, when the factory is built, cheap ballpoint pens will be mass-produced...
In the future, Huaguang will definitely be the same as Liang's father's glass factory, another money-making machine.
Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu met Liang Qinxuan on Huaguang's side.
The time for the college entrance examination at the moment is July 8th and July 9th. Liang Qinxuan has not taken the college entrance examination yet.
He was waiting here because he knew that Guan Baiyu would come.
"Xiaoyu, let's go to dinner today? Alas, it will be difficult for us to meet in the future. I will go back to school tomorrow. After I finish the college entrance examination, you will have to make up classes. After that, I will go to other places to study at university... "Liang Qinxuan was a little sad.
"Where to eat? Well, my brother will go too." Guan Baiyu said.
"You bastard, you put more emphasis on brothers than friends! It's alright, let's get up and go! I'll invite you to eat barbecue!" Liang Qinxuan's sadness was only for a quarter of an hour, and soon he was happy again: "Recently, the newly opened There's a kebab shop, where the mutton skewers are especially delicious, and what's that called... By the way, it's called cumin! I haven't eaten this seasoning before!"
Shi Zhen walked slowly behind them.
Guan Baiyu likes roasted meat sprinkled with cumin, but in his previous life, it took several years for him to eat it for the first time.
Guanjia Village.
In July, the sky becomes very hot, and there are occasional typhoons.
The river in front of Guan Baiyu's house, when it encounters a typhoon and heavy rain, the water level will skyrocket.
As for the days when it doesn't rain... Everyone loves to go to the river to soak.
Although the school tells the children not to swim in the river every day, in the countryside, swimming in summer is still the children's favorite activity.
Some children whose parents do not care spend almost all day soaking in the river.
Some parents are so strict that their children either go for a swim secretly, or swim downstream with their parents when their parents are there.
At this moment, there is no child in the village who has not crossed the river.
Generally, at four o'clock in the afternoon, there are the most people in the river, and children who can use colorful swimming rings are the most attractive. Many children swim with a door bolt or an old car without a swimming ring. The inner tube, filled with air, can be used as a swimming ring.
Guan Jianguo's daughter was wearing a car inner tube that was a little too big for her and floated in the river.
Fang Miyan and Shi Xingxing together, washed clothes by the river.
Shi Xingxing - while washing, - said: "When the house is built in the future, I must buy a washing machine." She was really tired of washing clothes!
Fang Miyan blinked, how expensive is a washing machine, why should you buy a washing machine? Isn't washing clothes just a matter of hand-rubbing
"I don't know if there is a machine for washing dishes, it would be great if there is." Shi Xingxing said again.
Fang Miyan: "…"
Fang Miyan did the laundry silently.
Shi Xingxing felt that his sister-in-law was too good, so she didn't know what was going on, so she blindly fell in love with her stingy brother.
Her sister-in-law also listened to her brother's words. She did what her brother asked her to do. Her brother didn't let her sister-in-law spend money, but her sister-in-law really didn't spend it!
Shi Xingxing persuaded his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, be kind to yourself, buy whatever you should, don't listen to my brother and don't buy anything."
Fang Miyan smiled at Shi Xingxing, but said nothing.
In fact, she is also stingy, and she doesn't want to buy it... But Shi Xingchao was afraid that she would be like this and would have a conflict with his family, so he took all the responsibility on himself, saying that she was stingy and didn't let her spend money, that's what she did.
When Fang Miyan married Shi Xingchao, the main reason was to have a stable life, but now that it has been a long time, she feels more and more that Shi Xingchao is not bad.
Shi Xingchao's family is also good.
His parents are sensible, his brother is always smiling and always happy, and his sister is also sensible.
Fang Miyan went home after washing her clothes.
The house rented by Shi Dashan's family exudes a strong aroma of meat... Fang Miyan's stewed dishes are ready.
She packed the vegetables into several large buckets, put them on a tricycle, and rode them to a nearby construction site to sell.
This tricycle belongs to Shi Dashan. Shi Dashan can't ride a bicycle, so he bought a tricycle, but he doesn't use it much, most of the time it is Fang Miyan.
Recently, Shi Zhen's focus has been on Changxi City. In Anshan Town, there are no major projects, only some small projects that employ local masons.
In this way, there is no need for Fang Miyan to cook.
Shi Zhen needed someone to cook at the construction site over in Changxi City, but Changxi City was too far away, so Fang Miyan felt inconvenient, so she didn't go.
Now the one who is in charge of cooking in Changxi City is the wives of the first batch of people who came out to work with Shi Zhen from their hometown.
After Shi Daniu brought his wife and children out, others looked jealous, and Shi Duofu was the first to call his wife.
He didn't bring the child out, he only let his wife come here to accompany him, and with Shi Daniu and Shi Duofu as precedents, others called their wives one after another, but most of the children were not brought.
Some of the children are too young to be taken out for fear of not being taken care of, and some are because the children are already old and are in class, so it is difficult to come out.
The most important thing is that on their side, they are used to letting the elderly help with the children.
The women who came out—there were three in total—one found a job in Anshan Town, and the other two were in charge of cooking at the construction site in Changxi City.
Their craftsmanship is not as good as Fang Miyan, but the migrant workers these days are not very picky about the taste of food.
All those who can bring their wives out are enviable in the eyes of other people whose wives and children are still in their hometowns or who have not yet married. They can get a lot of jealousy by shouting "wife" on the construction site eyes.
It's a pity that many people came out to work for the first time this year, and they didn't save much money, so they didn't have the courage to bring their wives out.
When they work on the construction site, they are all next to the construction site, and they build a shed casually to live there. If they don’t have the money to rent a house here, their wife will come and there will be no place to live.
Of course, Shi Zhen rented a small house nearby for the women who were in charge of cooking on the construction site, but even in a construction site where hundreds of people worked, two women would be enough to cook, but it wasn't anyone's wife who came here. Yes, they can stay on the construction site.
Fang Miyan did not go to Changxi City, but recently concentrated on the business of selling vegetables to the place where the road was built in Anshan Town.
She has been doing it for a long time, and now the people who come to her to buy vegetables are not only the people on the construction site, but also the people who live nearby.
There is even a nearby factory that orders food directly from her and asks her to make some for delivery - it will save money than if they ask someone to come back to do it.
If it wasn't for Shi Xingchao's help, Fang Miyan wouldn't be able to cook so many dishes.
However, as soon as Fang Miyan's tricycle got out, someone stopped him: "Miyan!"
The person standing in front of Fang Miyan was Fang Miyan's mother. She was much older than last year and had a lot of white hair on her head. Tears fell on her face when she saw Fang Miyan.
Fang Miyan stopped the car and asked her, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Fang Miyan and Shi Xingchao returned here after getting married in their hometown, and Chen Xiaofen prepared a gift for the two and asked them to go to Fang's house to visit relatives.
Although Fang Miyan - Yi Guxing got married, but did not plan to cut off all contact with her family's relatives, the two left the close relatives of Fang Miyan's family and let them know that Fang Miyan was married.
Although the Fang family didn't have a wedding, they were gossiped a little bit... But the matter of Fang Miyan's younger brother gambling and losing money is much more serious than the fact that Fang Miyan got married and their family didn't hold a banquet... When the people on the side talked about Fang Miyan, they actually sympathized with her.
In the past six months, the Fang family has approached Fang Miyan many times.
Every time Fang Miyan's father or her brother came over, Fang Miyan and Shi Xingchao would find reasons to frighten them away. That is, Fang Miyan's mother avoided Shi Xingchao and found Fang Miyan alone, Fang Miyan would be nice to her. say.
Fang Miyan's father treated her poorly, and her younger brother looked down on her and treated her badly, but her mother was ok with her.
Several times, Fang's mother came to Fang Miyan when she was doing business, and Fang Miyan would give her an order of her own dishes and a few dollars.
She knew that her mother had no money, and she wanted to buy something to eat.
But she felt that if she really bought something, most of it would not fall into her mother's mouth.
Her mother will take the initiative to send out the delicious food.
"Mi Yan, help your brother, they are going to chop off his hand..." Fang's mother cried.
Fang Miyan was stunned for a moment.
She took a deep breath and said, "It's too late for me to sell vegetables. If you have something to tell me, come find me at the old place."
Fang Miyan went to the place where she usually sells vegetables by bicycle, and started her business.
Today, on construction sites, basically, wages are calculated on a daily basis. Small workers are 15 to 20 yuan a day. The wages of other workers depend on their craftsmanship.
Because it is not every day that there is a clear day for work, most workers do not earn much.
But even so, there is no problem in spending fifty cents to buy some food here at Fang Miyan.
As soon as Fang Miyan's bicycle stopped, a lot of people gathered around and asked Fang Miyan to serve them dishes... Fang Miyan was busy with her work - after a while, her mother came to her side.
Then he didn't speak, just silently weeping beside him.
Fang Miyan ignored her and continued to work. Those who came to buy vegetables glanced curiously, but no one cared about Fang's mother.
Mother Fang felt even more pitiful.
- Until there were fewer people, Fang Miyan asked, "Mom, does my brother owe money again?" There would be basically nothing else.
"Yeah..." Fang's mother cried, and Fang Miyan's younger brother owed another 20,000 yuan.
Fang Miyan felt powerless after hearing what her mother said.
She knew that her younger brother might not be able to control herself and continued to gamble, so she told her mother in private and told her father that they should not give her brother money and look at her brother.
At first, they did.
In the few months of the beginning of the year, his younger brother lost money and felt ashamed of himself. He stayed at home all day and had no money in his hands.
Where's her mother? She brought back some pig feed on credit, and then sold the pigs when they grew up to a hundred kilograms... The family's money was not so tight.
Not long ago, the first batch of silkworms was raised. Because her mother raised a lot, she sold them for 2,000 yuan. Although some costs were deducted, they did not earn so much, but they were not bad.
Her parents definitely didn't plan to repay her money, and her sister's money could be slowed down too. In this way, the money their family owes to the outside world is actually only six or seven thousand.
The whole family tightened their belts and worked hard, raising more silkworms, and they could pay it back in two years.
But I don't know what her parents thought. She didn't pay it back quickly after earning money, and even used it to "do business" for her brother.
Her brother took the money and went to the casino, trying to turn over the book.
It is said that I initially won a few times, then I started to lose, and then I borrowed money to turn over the book, and finally I borrowed from others—more than ten thousand.
This is a usury loan, and people come to ask for money, and they directly ask for 20,000.
"Mi Yan, only you can save your brother..." Fang's mother cried and begged.
Fang Miyan said, "Where did I get so much money?"
"Isn't your man very good at earning money? He also has a big boss brother, and your in-laws can also earn a lot?" Fang Mu said.
"That's their money, don't think about it, I don't have a cent." Fang Miyan took out a plastic lunch box and packed some vegetables for her mother: "I came out in summer and sold these for fifty cents. How much can you earn by selling it for fifty cents?"
As far as his brother's virtue is concerned, he really wants to pay him back, and he may borrow it again next time.
She had never heard of such a thing.
"Mi Yan, how can you be so cruel, that's your brother!" Fang's mother cried, "You are cold-hearted!"
"What's wrong?" The people around saw it and asked quickly.
Fang Miyan didn't like to talk, but now when Shi Xingchao asked her to talk - she must say... "My brother owed 40,000 yuan in gambling outside, and he finally borrowed money to pay it back. Now he owes another 20,000 yuan. I'll take the money out... where did I get the money?"
Fang Miyan is a woman who sells such a large bucket of vegetables every day, and everyone acquiescees that the conditions of her home are normal.
Otherwise who does the hard work
Especially when she was - while cooking at the construction site - selling this...
The little girl has worked hard enough, but she can't be implicated by her younger brother all the time.
Everyone didn't sympathize with Fang's mother, and they even told Fang's mother.
Mother Fang could only leave.
Shi Zhen knew about Fang Miyan's family affairs that night.
Recently, many people like to ask him for ideas.
But this kind of thing, he can't come up with any ideas: "It's impossible for people who lend usury to really cut off his hand, just let him go."
He remembered that in his previous life, similar things happened.
The law and order here is not bad. Those who want debts don't dare to do anything illegal. They just go to Fang's house every day, harass Fang's father, Fang's mother and Fang Miliang, and rely on their family for meals.
Then Fang Miliang ran away, leaving Fang's father and mother to face the creditor.
The two had no choice but to work hard to earn money to help Fang Miliang repay it, maybe seven or eight thousand. If the lender was caught, they wouldn't have to pay it back.
After a while... Fang Miliang came back in despair.
What happened after that, he doesn't know.
After Fang Miyan finished asking, Shi Xingchao said to Shi Zhen again, "Azhen, don't worry, the job of building a house for us is definitely yours."
"How do you know?" Shi Zhen asked.
Shi Xingchao said: "Last night, I had a meeting with the people who built the house. Everyone was worried that the quality of the house they built would not be good, so I told them about you."
Compared with people of unknown origin... the foreman who bought the land just like them, is obviously more credible.
"Thank you." Shi Zhen laughed. When he planned to bid, he took this as his advantage, but Shi Xingchao said it directly to him.
This works better.
The newly built road running from south to north has many houses to be built on both sides, so it was divided into four sections for bidding.
At this time, there were not many engineering teams in Anshan Town, and Shi Zhen successfully won the bid for one of the sections.
This roadside house, about eight houses, are built together, and then they will be left open, leaving a road leading to the back of the house, and then eight houses will be built together... The house that Shi Zhen wants to build , adding up to a total of thirty-two buildings.
This is already a very big project. Shi Zhen and the professionals he just hired have made a detailed budget. If the cost is...about 70,000 yuan per house.
Of course, he couldn't just charge so much.
First of all, construction can easily go over budget, and secondly, this kind of project… is prone to default on building payment.
In his previous life, when he took on such a project, he was angered by those who owed money and didn't pay it, and even some of the money he didn't receive until his death.
Of course, he didn't ask for it later.
Therefore, when Shi Zhen tendered, the price given was 100,000.
As a result, among all the prices, his price is not the lowest, and it is not even high.
He took over the project by himself, without middlemen, it is impossible for each family to make 30,000 yuan, but if it goes well, each building will earn 20,000 yuan, and when the 32 houses are completed, they will earn 640,000 yuan.
This is definitely the one with the best expectation of making money among the many projects that Shi Zhen has undertaken so far.
That is, there are 32 houses to be built, and some houses are bought jointly by two families... It will be more troublesome to collect money.
Under the condition that the appearance of the house remains unchanged, Shi Zhen provides three types of units for people to choose from.
What he liked the most was a three-bedroom, two-hall, two-bathroom-kitchen apartment that was transparent to the front and back. The Shi family listened to him and asked for this type of apartment.
However, everyone's hobbies are different, and many people chose the other two types of apartments.
To be honest, because the road runs from south to north, the houses on this road are all east-west, which is not very good, but it is in a good location. In the future, it will be one of the most prosperous streets in Anshan Town. All kinds of shops are opened, and the rent of the shops is very high. Even the kindergartens in the town will move to the back of their houses.
Of course, traffic jams will happen in the future.
- There were four engineering teams in total, and when the other three engineering teams were still discussing with the homeowners, Shi Zhen had already written a contract based on past experience and signed it with someone.
At the same time, he also said that as long as each family pays 20,000 yuan and the money is in hand, he will start work immediately.
To do this kind of project, the money is basically given - part - part.
At this time, people were cautious, much more cautious than when Shi Zhen was doing similar projects a few years later. Most people dared to build houses because they had money in their hands.
So the first batch of money was received quite quickly, and when Shi Zhen received the money, the construction site started on time!
At the same time, the people in Guanjia Village finally knew that the Shi family was going to build a house in the town—the matter was not settled before, and Shi Xingchao didn’t tell them.
