Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

With the launch of the signboard of Xiaohe Village, the brick factory in Xiaohe Village is on the right track.

In just half a month, the brick factory produced 20 bricks, which were all digested by the villagers from all over the country.

Because the bricks in Xiaohe Village were of good quality and delivered to their doorsteps, some of these villagers did not buy the bricks and were not in a hurry. They were all willing to wait. Under Chu Jianghe's arrangement, they all placed orders one after another.

He charges 1000 yuan here and 3000 yuan there... The total order for this part alone is more than 20 yuan.

This situation makes the people who work at the Xiaohe Village Brick Factory both painful and happy.

The business of the brick factory is so prosperous, they can see it clearly every day.

Not to mention anything else, the little black bag carried by Liu Yunfang, the accountant of the brick factory, is getting bigger day by day.

While everyone is working, they are secretly calculating in their minds how much money they can make in a month.

At this time, Chu Dayou, Chu Jianghe and the others were at home watching Liu Yunfang fiddle with the account books.

With the sound of the abacus crackling and the flipping of pages of account books, Chu Dayou felt very anxious. He smoked the cigarette rod silently, feeling that the cigarette rod in his hand no longer had the same taste as before.

He was probably aware of the situation in the brick factory during this period and knew that it was making money, but he really didn't know how much actual profit it made.

Chu Jianghe lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and sat leisurely on a chair, watching his wife fiddling with the abacus.

He knew the situation of the brick factory very well, and he knew all the expenses, including the money Yun Fang brought back every day. If he had time, he would help count them together.

After a while, Liu Yunfang stopped fiddling with the abacus and then raised her head.

Looking at the two people with different expressions, I started to murmur in my heart.

This man from the old Chu family is really big-hearted.

My father-in-law didn't say anything. As the village secretary, he left the brick factory to his man and ignored it. He only said that he would come back to him when something happened.

As for my man, he basically doesn’t care about the things in the brick factory now, leaving everything to that iron pillar.

Faced with so much money every day, it seems like nothing is wrong, but with so much money, I am worried all day long.

Liu Yunfang secretly shook her head, are women born to be hard-working?

After sorting out his thoughts, he began to pay the bills to the two men in front of him.

"In half a month, Xiaohe Village Brick Factory sold red bricks and received .5 yuan in cash. The main expenditure was the purchase of coal, totaling..."

"How many?!"

Hearing this number, Chu Dayou was dumbfounded, and the cigarette rod in his hand suddenly felt no longer fragrant.

"Earned more than 1 yuan in half a month?!"

In the best years of Xiaohe Village, the village's balance did not exceed 1000 yuan. In bad years, the village would default on the commune's withdrawals.

This brick factory earns more than 1 yuan in half a month. Doesn't that mean that this brick factory can equal the entire village's ten years of labor? !

I'm a darling!

Chu Jianghe was not surprised at his father's reaction, and explained to him with a smile: "Dad, this is not half a month, but a month at most. There are still 20 bricks in it that were paid by others as a deposit. "

"Oh, oh..." Chu Dayou blushed and used his smoking skills to cover up his embarrassment.

Chu Jianghe motioned to Liu Yunfang to continue.

"After deducting commission, the estimated profit this month is 9507 yuan."

Even though he was prepared, when he heard this number, Chu Dayou couldn't help but bite the cigarette rod in his mouth so hard that he almost broke one of his old teeth.

But fortunately, I didn't make a fool of myself after all.

I'll be a good boy! Earning 1 yuan a month, a brick factory would have to pay 2000 yuan a month to the brigade headquarters!

That’s more than 2 yuan a year. How should the village spend this much money?

Chu Dayou felt troubled, but this was the trouble of happiness.

Chu Dayou has been a party secretary for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has worried about how to spend money because he has money.

No, commission? What commission?

Chu Dayou suddenly remembered this and asked Chu Jianghe in confusion: "Jianghe, what is this commission?"

"Don't the brick and tile factories in the county sell bricks for 3 cents and 3 cents per brick? We sell them for 3 cents and 1 cent per brick, which is 2 cents cheaper than the brick and tile factories in the county. If anyone helps us sell a brick, we will give His 1 cent tap."

Chu Dayou frowned: "Is this appropriate?"

Chu Jianghe helplessly spread his hands and said: "If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass to eat. You have seen the effect of this. There is no family in these ten miles and eight villages who has no relatives. All relatives introduce relatives. Words of mouth Word of mouth spreads, and this is what makes our Xiaohe Village Brick Factory what it is today.”

Chu Jianghe's marketing strategy is very simple and crude, which is to distribute money.

Chu Jianghe had already let the news out as early as when the brick factory started firing bricks.

As long as you invite your relatives and friends to buy bricks, you can get 1 cent per brick.

Although 1 cent may not seem like much, it cannot support the large quantity. Who can buy bricks without buying hundreds or even thousands of bricks?

When they hear about such a good thing, who in the village can refuse it? Who doesn't have relatives and friends? It's just a matter of asking.

So this was the day when the kiln was opened, and more than a dozen people queued up to pull bricks.

"Okay, I won't ask about this anymore. Just be aware of it and pay attention to the brick factory's accounts."

"Dad, don't worry, I understand this."

Chu Jianghe also understood that it would be a bit treasonous to write the commission directly on the brick factory's account.

Chu Dayou was helpless. If there were other ways, he would never agree to let his son do this, but there was no way.

He's not a stubborn person either, so let's leave it at that.

The two were silent for a while, and then Chu Dayou asked, "Jiang He, how are you going to pay this money?"

Hearing his father's question, Chu Jianghe smiled bitterly and was speechless. If he followed his assessment method, all the profits would be given out, and each person would be given more than 200 yuan.

This was too much, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Dad, just tell me, I will listen to you."

Chu Dayou pointed at his son with the cigarette rod, smiled and scolded: "You brat, you are giving me a hot potato."

When it came to this serious matter, Chu Dayou also became serious.

"I definitely can't give it all out. There are too many. It's not that I don't want to give it up. I'm afraid that other members will be jealous and it won't end well. Since ancient times, we have been worried not about scarcity but about inequality."

Chu Jianghe nodded and said, "Dad, I agree with you. Well, I think a skilled worker can make bricks for about 300 yuan a day. We pay them 5 cents per brick, so that's almost four dollars a month. 50 yuan is not too little."

After listening to Chu Jianghe's suggestion, Chu Dayou nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's do it. But there is a lot of money left. How should our village spend it? What do you think?"

Chu Jianghe blurted out without thinking: "In addition to buying a tractor first, we will build a school for the rest!"

Chu Jianghe had already read in the newspaper that the National Science Conference was held in Beijing on March 1978, 3.

This National Science Conference is titled on science and technology and is intended to focus on the overall situation.

It has allowed knowledge and education to regain people's respect, and has once again inspired the entire society to revere science.

It also makes people realize that science and technology are the primary productive forces, which is a milestone in the history of my country's scientific and technological development.

It was from then on that the saying "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world" became popular and gradually became popular.

If you want to get rid of poverty and become rich, education is fundamental!

Chu Dayou's eyes lit up when he heard his son's proposal, yes, build a school!

He felt annoyed that he hadn't thought of this.

The schools in the village are still a few dilapidated and low-rise bungalows, which leak when it rains. Even the desks are old items that have been used for many years.

In the past, the village had no money and could do nothing. Now that it has money, it is natural to build a new school.

Children are the future!

After discussing the matter, the two of them split up.

Chu Dayou naturally started working on building a school, while Chu Jianghe took Yunfang to the brick factory to distribute money to the members.
