As soon as Ye Yaodong arrived in the city, he and the fat man went about their own business.
The containers had been delivered to the factory in advance a few days ago. As soon as he arrived, he inspected them to confirm the quantity.
Wang Jianxin also followed behind him to report on the order status and delivery date. He also asked when the factory would start operating.
Wang Guangliang also followed Ye Yaodong with eager eyes, keeping an eye on this man who appeared out of nowhere.
Even though they have the same surname, they were definitely not the same family 500 years ago. People have to have a first-come, first-served basis. He definitely cannot be compared to this local.
"Brother Dong, are you going to collect the goods next and put them here for fermentation? I see that we are running out of stuff at home, so these large barrels and vats came in time."
"If we are sure to bring them all over, I will directly bring them to live here. The brothers will definitely have no objection. Wherever they work, they are all for you anyway."
Only when you have a sense of crisis can you make progress. Ye Yaodong was very satisfied that he took the initiative.
"Yes, these were all ordered years ago, and now a batch has been sent over. They will definitely be used and started immediately."
"In this way, you go back and tell the others. Those who are willing to stay in the city with you to receive the goods can stay tomorrow. Those who are not willing can also stay at home and work."
"It's not mandatory anyway. I also recruited two aunts and two uncles. I'll let them move here in the next two days. They will be responsible for watching the place and fermentation."
"As for wages, they just increased by 5 yuan after the new year. Those who stay in the city now will not get another increase in wages. Anyway, your wages outside receiving goods are higher than others at home."
"But I can give you two more days of rest so that you can go home and see if you are all old enough to marry a wife. Originally I gave you 4 days of rest per month, but now I give you 6 days of rest per month. Time is up to you.
Watch the arrangements and make your own adjustments."
"Oh, yes, I will take care of the food by the way. If you stay in the city and work in the city, you will take care of the food. This can be regarded as a special treatment."
Moreover, if these people collect goods in the market, they don't have to go back and forth to their homes. They can collect more goods at night. The city's deep-water ports are basically the busiest at night, with the most fishing boats docked.
At that time, the daily harvest will increase, and the output after half a year will be astonishing.
Anyway, there are 13 acres of land here, so there is no need to worry about running out of space to store it.
Wang Guangliang's eyes lit up. Taking care of the food can save a lot of money. They now bring dinner in advance before going out to receive the goods every day, so it's basically late at night when they get home.
It doesn't matter if I have two more days of rest, but taking care of the food is much better than giving them a few extra dollars in salary. Coming to work in the city can also save food rations for the family.
And when you have a rest, you can also go out for a walk and bring some things from the city back to your family, which is even more beautiful.
He patted his chest and said happily: "Okay, I will tell them when I get back. They will definitely be willing to stay and work in the city."
"Well, I'll go to the machinery factory later to see if there's any tractor with a truck bed ready to buy. Just a 12-horsepower one. It will make it easier for you to pull goods back and forth from the dock."
The family's tractor still has to be kept at home for use. It has to pull goods from the dock to the workshop every few days. It is also necessary to transport dried fish back and forth.
Anyway, the cost paid now is the profit from the past, and it can still be earned back in the future.
His current family fortune was created through such fiddling and tossing.
Ye Yaodong decided to start work in a few words, and the workers also made good arrangements.
Wang Jianxin was anxious. They had all been assigned jobs and the factory was about to start working. What about him?
"Brother Dong, what about me? In the factory..."
"You have other jobs, and you are familiar with the city. Later, go and find out where there is a sea salt factory. The fermentation of fish sauce requires a large amount of salt. Once you have found out, come back and tell me, and I will go and take a look. I will do it tomorrow.
In the city."
As long as there are live assignments, Wang Jianxin promised, patting his chest.
"I have this bag on me. I'm a popsicle seller. I know a lot about it in the city. I'm going to ask about it now."
"By the way, I want to ask if there are any iron beds. We have to get some beds in the dormitory building, and we can't make beds on the floor every day."
"OK."
Ye Yaodong thought of some other odd jobs for him to run, and then went to find Father Lin himself.
They will definitely have to pay for the groceries from the store, and they will have to ask Father Lin to keep separate accounts.
He thought that after a while, the fishing boats at the pier would become familiar with the people who received their goods, and then he would hire a person to keep accounts.
The harvesters on the dock are only responsible for billing and delivery. After placing the bill, if the fish bosses bring the goods to the market to sell, they can also take the bill to the store to settle the bill, so that Wang Guangliang and the others do not have to advance money.
Moreover, the shops in the city have a dedicated accountant, so there is no need to expect Father Lin to keep track of everything. This would be too embarrassing for the elderly.
Sure enough, starting a business is difficult, and you have to start from scratch in every aspect.
Ye Yaodong came out of the factory and basically arranged everything.
After he came out, he went to the machinery factory non-stop to order a tractor. Nowadays, the policy for buying and selling tractors has been very relaxed.
He paid a deposit, agreed on the size of the body he wanted to configure, and drove it in two days. It was done easily.
After returning, he followed Wang Jianxin again.
The fat man is also running around. Fortunately, Wang Jianxin took him there some time ago, and now he only has to go by himself.
The two of them worked from morning to night, and worked another day the next day, before finally bringing the matter to an end and heading back.
After waiting for three days, when Ye Yaodong came to the city to drive a tractor again, he stopped by to visit Director Chen and asked his godmother Jin Yuzhi to distribute some local specialties he brought back to the surrounding cadres.
Anyway, they are all produced by my own family, they are not valuable, they just show my heart.
When the factory starts operating, he will have to find a way to apply for a production license, if possible.
Then, if filtering is needed in half a year, manpower will definitely be needed. Then we will directly recruit some women from the nearby villages to work. Currently, there are not many manpower needed.
But no matter what, I have to go to the village committee here to say hello in advance, so as not to make the villagers jealous when they see such a big factory and the people coming and going.
Ye Yaodong has been running back and forth non-stop, arranging matters for the factory in the city, and even the work of going to sea has been temporarily left to other people on the ship.
Naturally, the money from selling the goods must be given to his father to collect first, and then be given to him when he comes back.
Fortunately, his father is still there, and there are also his brothers on other ships. The boatmen on the ship have also worked with him for more than a year, and they are all familiar with him.
The four fishing boats all come in and out at the same time, and there will be no problems if there is a discussion and discussion.
After he finished what he was doing, the fishing boat docked safely and came back. It happened that someone else was in the market, so he directly took over the goods for sale, letting everyone else go to rest first.
The fishing boat was still running without him this time, and there will be no problems without him in the future.
It is impossible for him to follow the fishing boats out to sea and catch fish all his life. Some jobs that should be handed over must be handed over. There is no need for him to work hard and take risks to do it.
He may be needed more in other places, such as arranging the production of factories in the city.
In the past ten days, all the personnel have been arranged, all the things that need to be purchased have been purchased, and the fermentation operation can be resumed normally.
Ye Yaodong finished his work in the city and sailed non-stop to Wenzhou to purchase goods.
The lighter factory in Wenzhou has also changed a lot. The site has been completed after the new year, and a large signboard of Dongfu Lighter Factory is clearly hung at the gate.
When he went there, he happened to catch a truck bringing in accessories.
The space inside the factory is extremely large, and even the number of employees has expanded to more than 200 people.
I heard from Fang Jingfu that all the profits made in the past six months have been invested in it. Even the electricity consumption has been fully upgraded. Many generators have been prepared. There is also a separate telephone line. The factory is equipped with several telephones.
There was also a design department, which was so large that he almost couldn't recognize it.
And his house has been vacated and restored to its original state. Now only the twins live there and let them look after the house.
According to Fang Jingfu, as of the end of this year, the number of lighter workshops in their city has grown to more than 50, which is extremely fast and does not require much technical content after all.
Therefore, they must expand, and they must have many new tricks to occupy more markets. They are also willing to spend money, since they are all earned anyway.
Ye Yaodong thought it made sense, and he didn't care about anything originally.
It is very satisfying to know that their production currently accounts for most of the market. Fang Jingfu was also the first to do it.
Then, according to Fang Jingfu, an overseas Chinese from his family contacted him last year and asked for a batch of lighters to test. After the year, two or three more companies were added, and now there are some signs of stable output.
It won't be long before they start to make significant profits.
Ye Yaodong also thinks so. The changes in the factory in the past six months have been obvious to all. It seems that no less money has been spent and all the money earned has been invested. He also believes it.
And now that it has grown in scale, management is definitely indispensable, and there must also be dedicated financial management and accounting.
He is also extremely satisfied with the current situation. If he did it by himself, Fang Jingfu would never be able to do it.
Even though he was here, Ye Yaodong also made a special trip to visit Zeng Weimin, to refresh his sense of presence, and also talked about his current situation.
I don't expect to be as familiar as Director Chen, but at least don't forget him. I don't know how many years he has been in the position, but if he is here, I will definitely visit him when he comes.
After Ye Yaodong returned home from Wenzhou City, he brought another boatload of goods to the city, and at the same time asked Lin's father to put the bags of fish sauce he had accumulated in the past two or three months on the market.
This batch has been stored for hundreds of tons, and we have packed everything that can be filtered at home. We are still working on it, but the daily production is limited, and we have to wait three months before we can produce a large amount again.
He has been busy for a while, and he has been busy for more than 20 days without stopping. It is almost the middle of February in the lunar calendar and the end of March in the Gregorian calendar. He is really busy without touching the ground.
During this period, he also ordered people to deliver the stocked bags of fish sauce to the factory warehouse in the city, truck by truck, every day.
The transportation in the city is much better than here. Although the roads are not good, it is connected in all directions, making shipping convenient, and the place is large enough.
It has been slowly accumulating in the past few months, and there is no place to store it. Some of it can only be piled in the open space of the workshop, then covered with straw, and covered with another layer of nylon cloth.
By the time he finished his work, all the goods had been taken to the city for storage.
When he delivered lighters to the city, he took a look and saw that they were piled up in a large warehouse.
During this period, the amount of fermentation of fish sauce was also particularly gratifying, and tractors pulled several trucks every day, attracting a large number of people from the nearby village.
It's just that when people saw it, they were just useless little fish, and most of them shook their heads, thinking that it was something valuable given to them, but they didn't want it.
Everyone had different opinions, saying that it was a waste of money to buy such a large piece of land, only to pile up these useless little miscellaneous fish, a waste of natural resources.
Ye Yaodong just laughed it off.
Sometimes the more inconspicuous things are, the more unimaginable the benefits are. Although these things have a longer cycle, they can still be regarded as stable output.
This kind of thing becomes more and more popular as time goes by.
Much better than lighters, which can only make a quick buck. Lighters can only be used for a few years, and most factories have to close down.
While he was busy at work, Fatty's restaurant also opened, and his brothers were hired to work on it, and a certain amount of the profit was also shared.
After he finished his work in the factory, he made a special trip to pay a visit and had a hearty meal before being sent out by them.
It made him feel a little embarrassed.
As he walked, he picked his teeth with a toothpick and said to the boatman beside him: "The free thing is the incense. Let's come back next time."
"Hahaha, it depends on your face. If we come to eat the King's meal, we should be beaten out."
Ye Yaodong touched his face and felt that it made sense.
"With my face, I don't have to pay for breakfast now, I don't have to pay for lunch and dinner, and I don't have to pay for taking a bus... Thinking about it, it seems pretty cool..."
"Haha, yes, that's right. Your eldest uncle opens a breakfast shop, Fa Xiao opens a restaurant, and your second uncle drives a tractor. It's really free of charge."
"I have to encourage others to do something next time, so that I can have hope for the rest of my life. I will go home and be exhausted."
Ps: This one is a transitional one. I have explained some things that need to be explained and filled them in a bit so that I don’t have to keep saying that I am too rich. Also, I just need to explain some of the business details.
Another update at night!
