Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

The granary has this kind of machine for collecting grain, but the owner was not there, so the job naturally fell to Cao Qinquan.

Looking at the busy backs of the people, I soon saw their clothes soaked with sweat. Indeed, it was a very strenuous job to rely solely on manpower. Last time when I unloaded the goods, the truck tipped over and the goods fell to the ground, which was much easier. Now I have forgotten about this.

"Everyone, work harder. We will give you fish and meat for lunch, and each person will receive a bonus of 20 yuan!" Zhou Qi shouted, and everyone's enthusiasm exploded instantly.

Twenty dollars! If you do this every day, you will have an extra six hundred dollars a month.

Of course, it's just a thought. However, the boss is really generous. I originally thought I would just get a fixed monthly salary, but now not only are my meals provided, but yesterday everyone was given an apple. I've only been working for a few days, how could this be such a good thing?

There is no such treatment anywhere else. The salary is much higher than elsewhere and is not inferior to that of formal workers in large factories. When I tell about it when I go back to the village, I feel very proud to see so many envious looks on my face.

Zhou Qi was clear-headed and knew that it was useless to talk about loyalty if the welfare was not in place to win people's hearts. Zhang Xiuping had already arrived and was busy in the kitchen. She was very skillful and it was still early to cook, but the pots and pans had already been cleaned.

Zhou Qi gave her some money and called a female worker to go to the vegetable market to buy things together.

After these busy days, I have to set up rules and regulations and select a few people to be in charge. Otherwise, I will be like a handyman all day long and have to worry about everything.

With a quick glance, he saw the cotton mill's car and the young leader, and suddenly slapped his forehead. Oh no, he almost forgot something important.

He hurriedly called Zhang Xiuping: "Sister Ping, please go to the photo studio and ask how much it costs for a photo shoot. Remember to write down the name and phone number of the studio."

Although Zhang Xiuping didn't understand why, it was a convenient thing to do, so she didn't ask any more questions and just went to do it.

As the two trucks from the cotton mill arrived, the whole factory went into a frenzy. A dozen female workers were in charge of weighing the goods, while Zhao Dabai and his men were loading the trucks. The scene seemed orderly, but a closer look revealed a chaotic process.

Clearly, not enough preparation.

The person who came was Zhou Kang, the junior leader here. He wanted to go to another place. He had been impatient with the slow loading process, but he happily started chatting with Zhou Qi.

Anyone who can make it to the leadership level in the factory is a smart guy. The factory specially sent him to pull apples, and the factory director gave the order personally. It's easy to figure out that there is someone behind this.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to make himself familiar with the crowd, and Zhou Qi was happy to chat with him. He pulled him into the shed and chatted with him while they drank tea.

In the business world, we welcome all kinds of people and make friends as much as possible. More friends mean more paths that may come in handy someday.

Zhou Kang smacked his lips several times while drinking the tea, wondering: Was the tea I drank before too rough? Why is the taste so different? When he asked the price, he found that it was over 100 yuan per liang. This high-end product was indeed extraordinary.

Zhou Qi generously grabbed a handful of tea leaves and gave it to him. Zhou Kang's eyes lit up. This handful was at least three taels, equivalent to more than one month's salary for him. He felt so happy and became more excited to chat.

More than an hour later, Cao Qinquan came back with two devices.

"Brother Qi, this equipment costs 30 yuan a day for one machine, 60 yuan for two machines, 1,800 yuan a month, which can hire 7 or 8 people. It's not cost-effective!" Cao Qin said frankly. He respected Zhou Qi, but he also had his own persistence and stubbornness.

Zhou Qi was delighted to hear this. Cao Qinquan had always been a very honest person, as stingy as a housewife. He was also a careful and honest person, so it was right to let him do the accounting.

Seeing that he felt a little aggrieved, he smiled and patted his shoulder: "Time is money, and efficiency is even more gold. Can hiring nine people be as efficient as these two machines?"

"With so many people, the feeling is about the same," said Cao Qinquan.

"People get tired and need to rest. When they rest, there is nothing to do and their efficiency drops. But machines don't mind getting tired. Besides, if we rely solely on manpower, if someone gets hurt, we won't have to pay compensation. If a machine breaks down, we just have to repair it. Do the math and see which one is more cost-effective?" After Zhou Qi's analysis, Cao Qinquan thought about it and decided that machines were more reliable.

I felt more relieved, but I still kept saying, "Brother Qi, I think it's a good idea to hire more people. More people will make the company more lively."

"You're not trying to attract people, you're just adding to the congestion. Can eight or nine people squeezed together be more classy than these two machines?" Zhou Qi was speechless.

The strength of a company does not depend on the number of people, but on the strength of its hardware. When these two devices are put on display, it is a powerful demonstration that the company has a lot of business.

But when people gathered together, I thought it was an illegal assembly.

Not wanting to argue any more, Zhou Qi waved his hand and said, "Come on, stop talking nonsense and go get the equipment in working order."

Cao Qinquan scratched his head and thought: What's so good about the equipment? It just stands there coldly. His concept is old-fashioned. He always thinks that talent is king. Who knows that in the future, there will be more machines than people in factories. Automation and intelligence are just around the corner. The reform of cotton mills is a living example. Machines replace people, which has already set the trend.

Cao Qinquan directed the installation of equipment, and Zhang Xiuping also came back, carrying a lot of bags and bags, and the total cost was less than 100 yuan. She handed over the money and a note: "Mr. Zhou, I went to three photo studios, and I wrote down the prices and phone numbers."

"Okay, thank you Sister Ping for your hard work!"

"Don't be polite, it's no big deal. I'll go cook." The prices at the photo studios are about the same, only a dozen yuan more expensive.

Zhou Qi didn't care about the price. He wanted a service that could be called at any time. He dialed the phone and paid two hundred yuan to a photo studio called "Red Sun".

The other two companies were not inferior in price, but they could not come on call. Twenty minutes later, the equipment started working and the efficiency increased rapidly. The cameraman also arrived. He took a few photos of the work scene as Zhou Qi said, then pulled Zhou Kang to the front of the car, shook hands and took a photo. It was like signing a big deal.

Zhou Kang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. It was the first time he had received such treatment after working for so long. He held his head high and chest high when taking the photo, feeling like a shining star. Another half an hour later, two trucks returned with full loads of apples.

"Mr. Zhou, we'll take our leave now." Zhou Gang smiled and shook hands with Zhou Qi. But Zhou Qi didn't intend to let him go. He called Cao Qinquan, stuffed 4,000 yuan into his pocket, turned around, pulled the cameraman, and jumped onto the truck.

After a dusty journey, we arrived at the cotton mill.

Zhou Qi called Zhang Wenhui directly. Zhang Wenhui answered the phone and was shocked. He thought to himself, "You don't understand the Apple issue yet. Why don't you just bring it over? Why are you running here?"

After hanging up the phone, he hurried out and into the yard. From afar, he saw two carts filled with apples. Zhou Qi, Zhou Kang and others were standing in front of the carts.

When Zhou Kang saw Zhang Wenhui coming, a light flashed in his eyes. Just as expected, Zhou Qi and Zhang Wenhui were indeed friends.

He hurried forward and reported the situation: "Director Zhang, all the apples have arrived. I checked them one by one when loading them. None of them were dented or rotten..."
