Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

Zhang Jiaqiang suggested, "Let's drink this glass of wine together. I wish our business success and that our days will become more prosperous in the future!"

After that, drink the full glass of wine in one go!

When everyone saw how generous he was, their blood suddenly boiled and they drank the wine together.

Putting down the wine glass, Zhang Jiaqiang asked Ye Xiumei to eat slowly, then turned around and invited everyone to sit down and drink. It was a good opportunity to clarify some arrangements.

After a few glasses of wine, these men who rarely drank alcohol became red-faced and talked too much.

While chatting, we talked about the profits of lighters!

Zhao Xiaoyong counted with his fingers and exclaimed, "Brother Qiang, if we sell 100 million pieces every month, the profit will be at least 50, which will be 500 million in a year..."

Five to six million was an astronomical figure in the early 600s.

The per capita income in Luonan is only [-] yuan, and the average real estate price is only about [-] yuan. This money is enough to buy a row of villas!

When real estate prices skyrocket in a decade or so, these villas will be worth at least hundreds of millions, enough to provide a wealthy life for several generations.

Of course, they don't know the direction of historical development, and they are stunned just by looking at the profits in front of them.

A few young guys were so excited that they almost got on the table.

Zhang Jiaqiang smiled and poured cold water on them, "Everyone, don't get excited. Money only comes from production if you can sell it. If you can't sell it, why don't you just stare?"

The boys were immediately discouraged.

Zhang Jiaqiang smiled and said, "To make lighters, a dozen master craftsmen are enough. As for you, you should do sales and run business as I said. Not only can you make money, but you can also get exercise. You can learn more things when you have nothing to do, and you can use them in the future." !”

Zhao Xiaoyong rolled up his sleeves and pushed a few young men aside. He grinned and said, "Brother Qiang, you just have to make arrangements. We will do what you say. If they dare not obey the command, I will beat them all over the ground." tooth!"

In this family of 20 people, except for more than 80 old masters and a few aunts, the remaining [-] or so people are all young men.

So many people can't all run the business. We have to wait until the lighter is on track and then find some way for them, otherwise it will be a waste of manpower!

Zhang Jiaqiang asked these young men to go eat and drink first. He left the old masters alone, took out a few drawings and began to explain tomorrow's work.

After a while, a master named Liu scratched his head and said.

"Jia Qiang, the molds you drew are not difficult, but they can't be made in a short time!"

There is no 3D printing technology these days. If you want to process the mold, you have to use a knife to dig into the steel ingot one by one.

Therefore, no matter how simple the mold is, it will take less than ten days and half a month to make it.

Zhang Jiaqiang was also worried for a while. If this delay lasts for half a month, one step is delayed and the other is delayed. When other supporting facilities are in place, it won't be next month?

At this moment, Ye Xiumei suddenly said softly, "I, I might, be able to help with the mold matter!"

"Can you make molds?"

Zhang Jiaqiang looked at his wife up and down, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

Ye Xiumei stomped her feet angrily, "Oh no, how could I? My cousin's workplace has the latest laser focus molybdenum wire engraving machine. It only takes a few days to process the mold, but you have to pay some fees!"

This solved a big problem. Zhang Jiaqiang hugged her and gave her a gentle kiss.

"Honey, you've been a big help, come and give me a kiss!"

"You're going to die, get out of here! Your mouth smells like alcohol..."

All the young and old men burst into laughter.

Soon Zhang Jiaqiang arranged the various processes for producing lighters. Some people were responsible for keeping an eye on the workshop production line, while others were responsible for ordering various accessories.

Each of these masters worked hard and vowed to cherish this opportunity and do something great!

After everyone has had enough wine and food, Zhang Jiaqiang has arranged the people on both sides and is about to retreat with the big guys.

He planned to take advantage of his free time today to go to a shopping mall to burn the remaining vouchers and buy some things for his family.

At this time, Mr. Wang came with Xiaoxia, toasted with a glass of wine, handed Zhang Jiaqiang his business card, and said a lot of kind words.

Xiaoxia returned the remaining few hundred vouchers from the checkout to Master Wang, and shyly recounted her old friendship with Ye Xiumei.

After all, Ye Xiumei was kind-hearted and put aside the unpleasant scene just now.

Everyone walked out of the cafeteria under the courtesy of the staff.

Wang Aiguo held the hundreds of vouchers in his hand and handed them to Zhang Jiaqiang, "Jia Qiang, this is what I found, keep it!"

Zhang Jiaqiang waved his hand, "The factory didn't pay wages last month. Let's share this voucher among everyone. We can buy something in the mall and have an account when we go home!"

"That's not okay. We haven't done anything. We're eating and drinking for nothing. It's hard on our faces!"

Although the few young men were greedy, they also cared more about face and hurriedly declined.

Zhang Jiaqiang grabbed Wang Aiguo's calloused hand, added a few more vouchers and forced them into it, glaring and pretending to be angry.

"Why, I've just put down my chopsticks, so my words don't count?"

Everyone knew that he really wanted to give, so they were grateful and divided the vouchers.

Although each person was only allocated more than ten yuan, he could still buy two bags of flour and rice, which made everyone feel warm.

Dongfanghong Commercial Building is indeed one of the three major shopping malls in Luonan in the 90s. It has five floors and sells all kinds of products, from food and drink, clothes to furniture and electrical appliances.

Ye Xiumei clutched the voucher that exuded the fragrance of ink, and at first wanted to save money.

But after Zhang Jiaqiang showed her the date on the voucher, she gritted her teeth and said "buy"!

Fortunately, the young men helped and hired a tricycle. They were not idle that day, moving things home again and again until the evening when they spent ten to seventy-eight dollars on the remaining vouchers.

In [-], the market coincided with the golden period of competition between domestically produced home appliances and imported home appliances.

The prices of various electrical appliances are extremely low, just like cabbage prices.

I bought fans, refrigerators, washing machines, and even a 24-inch Sichuan Changhong color TV.

The couple also bought a few more clothes and a decent set of gold jewelry for Ye Xiumei, finally fulfilling Zhang Jiaqiang's wish.

I even brought home a lot of various grains, oils, rice, noodles and non-staple food items.

There was almost no room for it in a room of more than ten square meters, which shows how powerful the purchasing power of 1 yuan at that time was.

The dormitory residents all worked in the same factory, and each family had similar conditions and were used to living in poverty. The unsuspecting neighbors were horrified when they saw the Zhang family spending so much money.

"Oh, Uncle Li, have you seen it? The two idiots are about to take over the mall!"

"I must have picked up the gold ingot as a couple!"

"Hey, a 24-inch color TV and a double-door 180-liter refrigerator are not of this quality at our factory director's house!"

Neighbors like to talk about filial piety in front of others and behind their backs, but this time their voices were so full of jealousy that their eyes turned red.
