Fang Jingfu didn't stay long. After they started eating, he went back first, planning to come back tomorrow. It was already dark by now.
After eating, the boatmen enthusiastically joined the army of workers over there and worked together, planning to work double jobs.
After Ye Yaodong finished talking to Lin Xiuqing, he came out to explain to the twin brothers that he had already assigned them tasks and introduced their work, and then they can officially start work tomorrow.
He eats his own food and lives in this house. The rice, flour, grains and oils he brought with him on this trip will be left here for them, but since they will only stay for a few days, he doesn't bring much rations.
It's just because there are so many people that it consumes a lot of things, so it seems like there are a lot of things. They picked up several loads when they came in. The rest they consumed should be enough to last the two brothers for a few days, giving them a place to go before they can figure out their surroundings.
buffer.
The twins were very happy. They could start earning double jobs right away the day after they came out.
"I'm not giving you double wages to support you to do good deeds. You should work well and keep an eye on me at the same time. If there is any big move in the workshop, if there is any abnormality or if there is anything going on, you have to call me and let me know. Especially
It’s Ah Xiao who helps with piece calculations.”
"I spent a lot of money to invest a lot of money in this workshop. If I'm not here, I need you to keep an eye on it for me. You know? You have to do the work that you should do. You have to be more active in doing things. You can't just get paid and not work.
, when people have objections, I will have to tell you to go back."
"I understand Brother Dong, we will do a good job for you."
"Remember, if you get two salaries, you have to work two jobs."
"Definitely."
After Ye Yaodong beat the two brothers, he let them do what they wanted, and then went to find Lin Xiuqing.
She has already started working on her hands again.
"It's almost 10 o'clock. It's time to go to bed. Why don't you go to work? Aren't you tired after a long day on the boat?"
"What's everyone doing?"
"They want to make money, do you need to make money?"
"There is work here to make money, but it would be a pity not to do it. If you earn a little bit, you can buy oil, salt, soy and vinegar."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
She still has 200,000 yuan on hand, but she still wants to make money.
"Don't look down on this small amount of money just because you have money. I think they can earn a lot by working in a day. I asked, some work from morning to night, and occasionally work overtime, and they say they can earn three or four dollars a day.
That’s a lot more than what workers in most big factories earn.”
"They are forced by life and have to work day and night. Why are you working so hard? It's so late at night and you can't bear to sleep. You're still working here, so you go to sleep."
"Oh, I'm working vigorously. You go to bed. If I'm sleepy, I'll go to bed naturally."
Seeing how energetic she was, Ye Yaodong couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to let her go and go to bed first.
He only slept for a few hours last night and didn't sleep again. He only squinted when he went into the cabin. He was already very sleepy.
Later, he didn't even know what time Lin Xiuqing lay down to sleep. He only knew that when he woke up early in the morning, his side was empty again, and when he went out to see her, she was there again.
Ye Yaodong was speechless. Didn't he ask her to work to earn money...
When he walked over and took a closer look, his father was also working hard there...
After looking around a bit, I found that all his boatmen were working double jobs there.
"Have you made breakfast? Are you working so hard? Did I bring you here to work?"
Everyone replied one after another, "Haha, the porridge is in the pot, we have all eaten it."
"Isn't it boring to sit around after dinner? It's just sitting around, so why not help out a little bit?"
"Yeah, it's better than us getting together to gamble. Wouldn't it be better to have something to do?"
Lin Xiuqing also said: "Isn't this trip just to transport your goods? There is nothing else. Everyone can help a little bit, and it can also increase some extra income. It is better than them sitting aside and playing cards. You go
Eat your food and leave us alone."
Father Ye also echoed, "Yes, leave us alone."
Ye Yaodong shook his head helplessly. There was indeed nothing to do, so he had to let them go. He would have something to do after breakfast.
The specialties brought here specially should be delivered to Zeng Weimin after breakfast.
However, Zeng Weimin was the only couple here, and his children were not around. He gave him a sack of dried fish, a basket of squid, and a basket of shrimps. After obtaining his consent, Zeng Weimin took most of them out and distributed them to the people in the bureau.
Others.
Everyone is very happy, and it feels like receiving welfare during the Chinese New Year.
Ye Yaodong didn't care. He knew that it was all gifts from him. It would be better for everyone to have a share. At least he would remember him.
He only stayed for a while and left after chatting for a few words so as not to disturb others' work.
It is convenient to have a bicycle, and it is not so painful to pedal back and forth.
When he got home, Fang Jingfu was already waiting for him there.
The contract and ink pad were all ready, just waiting for his signature and fingerprint.
Even Fang Jingfu's brother and sister-in-law were there, and his brother had to sign and have his fingerprints printed. Before, there were only two brothers. They could divide the money equally and just agree verbally.
Now that he is an outsider who has injected capital, of course he has to implement the actual contract allocation.
The contract also clearly stated that he invested 50,000 yuan in the shares, accounting for only 20%. Fang Jingfu was the person in charge, and mainly participated in sales management and capital at the same time, accounting for 45%, while his brother invested in technology, accounting for 35%.
%.
Then Fang Jingfu and his brother both enjoyed a certain monthly salary because they worked. He did not participate in any management or do any work, so he received no salary.
When Fang Jingfu signed the contract, he specifically told him.
Ye Yaodong nodded and had no objection. He understood this. If you work, you must be paid. Even if you are a shareholder, you must be paid for your work.
The twin brothers he brought in actually worked on his behalf, and the wages they received were actually his.
Ye Yaodong read it from beginning to end, and after listening to Fang Jingfu explain it to him clearly one by one, he immediately signed and fingerprinted without any questions, and the other two people also followed suit.
The contract was made in triplicate, and each of the three people kept one copy.
After everything was signed, the contract was equivalent to having legal effect. The three of them were very happy. This was beginning to take shape and become standardized.
Lin Xiuqing watched the whole process from the side without saying a word. She just smiled and listened with her ears raised. After the contract was handed over to her, she took a closer look.
After everyone signed the contract, they felt relaxed and decided to go to a state-owned restaurant for dinner now.
"This is our joint dinner. I have already reserved a table early in the morning and paid them in advance to buy food. Otherwise, their daily menu is limited, with only a few items. Small restaurants in other places
There are, but the state-owned hotels are a bit more upscale.”
"Let's go, it's noon, let's have a meal together to celebrate the happy cooperation."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "I will put the contract away first and bring a basket with me. I will go out for a walk later. They are all out anyway."
"Then let's wait. Go and put it away quickly. This thing is very important."
"good."
Ye Yaodong turned around and told his father to go with him.
But Father Ye waved his hand, "I won't go. You young people can go eat by yourselves. I can just eat at home. The coming and going will take several hours. I can do a lot of work here."
"Do you really think you are here to work and earn money? It doesn't matter if you earn a few cents less. The bicycle can also fit on it. The back of President Fang's bicycle is empty, so you can sit on his bicycle."
"No, no, just go. My old man won't get involved in your young people's affairs."
Ye Yaodong tried to persuade him a few more times, but his father shook his head, so forget it and let him eat with the boatmen at home.
After going to the state-owned restaurant, while eating, he asked him if he could give him the 5,000 lighters tomorrow. If he could give them to him tomorrow, he would go back directly tomorrow night.
Counting yesterday, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, it took exactly 4 days to arrive in the city and deliver it to my father-in-law. It can be considered that I have not broken my promise to consumers.
Moreover, after lunch later, he can take his wife around the city on his bicycle, and he can spend another day shopping tomorrow, which is almost enough, and there is no need to stay for too many days.
A bunch of people he brought with him, including his father and his wife, are already obsessed with work. They will not be able to go back when the time comes. Everyone has been working for most of the day this morning. They are addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves.
The guests and hosts had a great time having a great meal, and the relationship became closer. Lin Xiuqing and Fang Jingfu's brother's wife, Cheng Huijia, sat next to each other and chatted happily.
Even when they were going shopping after dinner, Cheng Huijia dragged the two brothers along.
It was supposed to be a group of two, but after dinner it became a group of five.
Lin Xiuqing spent the whole afternoon shopping, and went back satisfied with the basket she brought with her full.
Ye Yaodong laughed at her on the way back. The work she did all night last night and the money she earned this morning were not enough to buy the items in the basket.
"Then it can't be the same. What I earn from working is mine. How can the specialty items I buy be used as my wages?"
"Oh, what you earn is yours, what I earn is for spending."
"Isn't that right?"
"Yes, yes, you are right. It is my responsibility to support my family. I earn enough, so naturally I don't need you to bear the responsibility."
She smiled and said, "The couple still have to do it together, but I have made too little these two days. I'd better go back and buy oil, salt, soy and vinegar. At least I can see it."
"I earn half of what you earn, so aren't you keeping an eye on my rear?" Ye Yaodong said with a smile.
"It's good that you know."
"I'll go out tomorrow and buy some local specialty pastries. I can take them home at night and keep them for the next day without spoiling. Even on a hot day, the pastries can be kept for two or three days. Now that the weather is cooler, they should be able to keep for a few more days."
"Okay, don't buy anything else, just buy some pastries to give away."
After running all the way out of Zhejiang Province, when she returns, her neighbors and relatives will surround her with admiration and compliments. She should bring some pastries back for everyone to try. It is also right, and the trip is not in vain.
After returning home and finishing her meal, Lin Xiuqing continued to fuck her lighter until late at night, very excited.
After returning to the house, she originally wanted to talk to Ye Yaodong, but who knew that he was already snoring, so she had to wait until the next day to talk to him.
Ye Yaodong was pulled into the room by her to talk after breakfast the next day. He thought she was going to say something, but who knew that she also had other thoughts.
"You think, can we also let people customize the accessories and assemble the lighter by ourselves? That way you don't have to come all the way to buy the goods."
"I heard from other workers that there are now several small lighter workshops in the city. Although they are not as good as here, they are still working there."
"It doesn't look very technical, so it shouldn't be a big deal if we just follow the trend, right?"
"Do you understand this industry? Do you have the energy? Are you confident that you can do it well? Do you have the background? Can you find suitable and trustworthy people to manage it?"
Ye Yaodong's questions stumped her.
"If we go back and do it alone, it will be considered a backstabbing. We just signed the contract and then turn around and start doing our own tricks. The money invested will be in vain."
"Isn't it good like this now? We invest some money, and naturally someone will take care of us and take care of everything for us. We just wait for the money to be distributed. If we do it ourselves, we will still have a headache."
"Now the full power is given to Fang Jingfu. The two brothers occupy the majority. They must be thinking about becoming bigger and stronger, creating greater glory, and leaving other workshops behind in the short term. Otherwise, why are they in such a hurry to raise funds?"
"With them taking care of us, wouldn't it be nice for us to be the hands-off shopkeepers? Why do we have to do it ourselves? The boat, shop, and two workshops I have are enough for me to worry about, and I can't make enough money.
"
"Neither of us understands this, so it's better to leave it to them than to find someone else to do it, right? We don't understand this anyway, and now there are ready-made people to help us do it."
"Now we can get shares and sell goods for money, which is good. We have already made a lot of money, but we can't be too greedy and want everything we see."
Lin Xiuqing nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it was my fault. I really can't keep everything in my arms. Invest some money and let others do it, and you can save yourself the worry. At most, it will be a little troublesome to go back and forth."
"I have made an agreement with him to give me 10,000 in one month. Then I will go back and forth once a month."
"10,000..."
"It's not too much and can be sold slowly. After all, the first 2,000 are just to test the water. After that, someone will come and batch it. After that, the reputation will spread, and of course more people will come to batch it. It is estimated that it will be circulated."
Not even enough to sell."
"Okay, you figure it out."
"In the past two years, everyone's living standards have gradually improved, and demand will naturally increase."
"I don't understand what you're saying. Anyway, it's up to you. I'm going to work to make money."
"Nima...are you really crazy? I brought you here to play, but you are making money here. While the sun is not bright in the morning, go out and buy pastries now. There should be pastries coming out of the oven in the morning. Buy some fresh ones. You can also
It will definitely taste better if you take a couple of bites."
"That's okay. You don't have to go out in the afternoon. You can always work here."
Ye Yaodong shook his head, feeling helpless, "Then when the time comes, the neighbors will ask you, what fun things are there in Wenzhou? You said making lighters is fun."
"It's quite fun, and the assembly is quite interesting. But when it's time to go shopping, don't I go out for a walk? The urban area here is not much different from our urban area. There are only a few high-rise buildings, and there are only a few places where you can buy things.
In those one or two streets, most of the others are residential buildings or short bungalows, there is no difference."
"Everyone wears the same clothes on the road, and there are no foreigners to see. There is nothing new when I go out. Except for some special food carts, it feels a little different."
What you say does make sense.
This year is indeed not suitable for traveling. Those who travel far are either for work or business, otherwise there would be no one traveling around.
"This place is quite big, but we only go to the prosperous areas, and there is not much to see in other places. I will go out and take photos of some landmark buildings for you, such as the Wenzhou City Government Building and the Normal School.
Otherwise, everyone will think that you are here just to work and make money."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted him, "Okay."
Ye Yaodong also wanted to take his father out for a walk, but his father refused.
"You two are walking around, why am I, an old man, going with you? It's not like I've never been here before. What's there to see? I bought something a few times ago, but I didn't buy it this time. I've only been out for two days.
Three days later, go back to buy things. Where did your mother think I got so much money?"
It will be revealed.
"That's up to you, you can make your own money here."
"It's good. I earn my retirement money here. I work from morning to midnight. I can earn several yuan a day, which allows me to buy a lot of tobacco."
It was so pitiful to say that it made him seem like he had no money to spend on him.
"Haha, President Ye, you have to give your father some money to spend, look at how hard he works."
"Yes, we are at an age where we are enjoying happiness. Even if we want to enjoy happiness, we still have to work hard for our sons and grandsons. He is President Ye's father, and he is still working there."
"Your father is too hard-working and doesn't know how to enjoy the blessings he deserves. If I have such a promising son, I have to let him support me."
"Give your dad more money to spend. It's just that the money is too little, so he wants to work hard..."
Ye Yaodong: His reputation has been ruined by his father.
Father Ye saw Ye Yaodong looking at him unkindly, and was worried that he would not let him do it next sentence, and did not wait for him to speak. He quickly explained to others in broken Mandarin.
"No, no, he gave me money. From time to time, he gave me a sum of private money and paid me my salary every month. It's just that his mother took away the salary and didn't fall into my hands, but I still have it in my hands.
With the private money he secretly gave me, I just couldn’t stay idle."
"Everyone is working there to make money. I can't just sit there and watch. It's not a tiring job in the first place. If you can do something, it's not that important. How much or how little you earn is not that important. You just have to have something to do.
"
"We have been working there all our lives, and it's not like we can't move now. Where can we sit? If we move, we might live longer. If we don't move, isn't it just like waiting to die?"
"And who would think that money is too much? It's okay to earn a little while you're free. It's not easy to make money in the first place. How can I rely on my son? If I can still move, it doesn't matter if I do more."
"My three sons are all filial and promising. I won't have to worry about them when I grow old. I can just do whatever I want now and leave tomorrow."
The people around sighed, "You are so lucky..."
"So raising children is very important. If you have more children, if one of them becomes successful, you will be blessed in this life."
"Who says it's not the case? It's better to have more children. As long as one of them can succeed, the whole family will not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives."
"Damn it, we're not allowed to have more children now. What's the use of one child? With two children, if we take care of them in old age, we'll have two people to help share the burden."
Everyone got lost in chatting and kept complaining.
There is also a strong preference for boys over girls in the local area. Everyone wants to have a son. The idea of ​​raising children to provide for old age is deeply ingrained in the thinking of the older generation.
A bunch of people walked together, chatting unavoidably, and various topics emerged one after another. Although Father Ye and the others could not understand the local dialect, they could occasionally hear two words, both of which were curse words!
So after staying for two days, Lin Xiuqing was able to say a few local curse words.
For example, the old lady guest they talk about most often refers to a woman who sits there and gossips all day long.
Haci: lie. Let's eat: idiot. Mengguo: talk nonsense. Eat: dig words. Thief: pig's head. Get a cup: you are a b.
She was also very enthusiastic and would scold him in the local dialect of Vancouver whenever she got the chance.
For example, when you want to go to bed at night, you still scold him.
"Thief, you're not sleeping yet. You're going to get on the boat and go home at night."
"You still said you were addicted?"
"Hahaha, I think their local dialect is very interesting."
"Then why don't you stay here to earn money and learn the local language?"
"Then you can go back and get another wife?"
"Do you know all this? The tiger is not at home and the monkey is king. Why do you have to marry 10 or 8 little wives? One will eat with me, one will sleep with me, one will go to sea with me, one will show me the shop, and one will give me
Look at the workshop, one looks after my child, and the other..."
"How can 10 and 8 be enough? You can't have two hands, one on the left and one on the right, when you're eating? You can't have two hands idle. You also need two for sleeping. Otherwise, how can I give you a pat on your back, shoulders, and legs at the same time?"
"It makes sense!"
"I think two are not enough to sleep. There should be seven. They have to line up from Monday to Saturday and act as grooms every night."
"My wife is still thoughtful."
Lin Xiuqing grabbed his ears fiercely and said, "You are not afraid of killing everyone."
"Hiss~ Be gentle, don't we still have you here? Just give me some replenishment."
"It's a beautiful thought."
Seeing that she wouldn't let go, Ye Yaodong had no choice but to hold her and throw her down. "Okay, go to bed. Your ears are already red. I'm just kidding. I'll just talk casually. Who asked you to answer the question?"
"I just said it casually. Who told you that one of you is reasonable and the other wife is thoughtful? I think that's what you think in your heart."
While saying this, Lin Xiuqing stretched out her index finger and stabbed him hard in the heart, which he quickly grabbed.
"Stop poking. You'll poke a hole again. Go to bed quickly, otherwise you have to get up again at night. It won't be pleasant to be at sea all day without any sleep."
"Humph, lie down on your side and don't press me."
Ye Yaodong obediently obeyed.
It was indeed a little late now. After dinner, they spent a lot of time counting the goods, and then they packed up their things again and continued to work until just now.
At night, they had to borrow the carts in the workshop to push the goods. Those lighters were very heavy, and it would be too time-consuming to wait several times to move them manually.
Fang Jingfu has just received a capital injection and has already made an order for a tractor in the past two days.
Ye Yaodong planned to wait for a while and then remind him where he could buy a piece of land and build a workshop and warehouse by himself. He would then apply for a company after the policy was relaxed in a few years.
Anyway, there are people behind him. If he spends a little more money to find a connection, it is not difficult to get a piece of land. It is very easy to get the land now. As long as you have the land, even if the business is not good in the future, you will not lose much.
And only with a dedicated workshop can we have the space to grow bigger and stronger. It didn't take long, but now the workshop feels a bit inadequate. It is only because of the morning and evening shifts that it can accommodate so many people.
If your business is large enough, others will have higher trust in you than other small workshops, and your appearance is also very important.
He didn't mention it immediately because he was thinking about the incident of the Eight Kings not long ago. If he builds a piece of land to build a workshop and makes it huge, it will be easy to be regarded as a model.
Even if there are people behind him, there will definitely be enemies, and they may not be able to be saved.
For example, if the Eight Kings are so rich and have such a big career, they must have good relations with local officials, but why are they regarded as models? It’s not because they have too much money.
Policies are changing all the time, but they still have to come slowly and not take too big a step.
Even if he told Fang Jingfu now, he would just sit there and not dare to make any big moves.
At least this workshop is now on the road to success. No matter how hard he works here, it will be fine. If he continues to do things outside and everyone knows that he has made a lot of money, then there will be risks.
The return journey was also smooth.
As it was when you came, it will be as you go back.
Ye Yaodong only wanted to rush on his way, but the wind direction on the return journey was not so smooth.
Originally, he planned to sail directly to the city, but it was already dark when he arrived near their town. He calculated that it would probably be midnight when he drove to the city.
The father-in-law, mother-in-law, and the others must have all gone to bed, and they have to get up early in the morning to open the door for business. There is no need to bother people in the middle of the night. It is better to go home directly and have a good sleep at the same time.
It would make no difference if he drove the tractor to deliver the goods the next morning, it would only be half a day away.
Lin Xiuqing's persuasion also deserves credit here.
She wanted to go back to the village first. She had been out for so many days and had passed by the door of her house. She must go home first. She was always thinking about her children and things at home.
Moreover, it was inconvenient for her to go to the toilet on the ship, so she tried to drink as little water and eat as much as possible.
If you can't hold it in, let Ye Yaodong watch the wind on the helm while everyone is sleeping in the cabin, and he can secretly go to the stern of the ship to deal with it, and then wash it into the sea with water.
Fortunately, there was no need for everyone to work. Apart from eating, everyone basically lay down in the cabin.
Of course she chose to go home as soon as she could go home.
Chapter completed!
