Getting rich in chronology

As for Chen Yu's investment proposal, Chen Zehai accepted it without accident.

He specially came to Chen Yu's house to discuss this matter with Chen Yu in detail, his attitude was very sincere, and he didn't put on airs just because Chen Yu was young and his junior.

On the contrary, he produced a detailed plan, not only about the plan for the new garment factory, but also his investigation and understanding of the economic environment of Mingzhu City, and even a detailed comparison and interpretation of the purchase channels of raw materials such as fabrics.

He really didn't do it for nothing in the past ten years, and after resigning, he should have carefully considered making a comeback and starting anew.

But just as Chen Yu guessed, he doesn't embezzle or engage in foreign money, and if he only relies on the savings from his wages, if he uses all of his savings to start a business, it's not impossible to start a small workshop, but his family's living standards will not be guaranteed.

In case of failure, it's fine for him to be alone, but there are old people and young people, the old people are old, and the children are still in school.

As a middle-aged man supporting a family, he dare not gamble on this just in case.

But when Chen Yu asked Chen Meili to take him back, his ambition was revived.

If it is not for the compromise of life, he would naturally prefer to shine in the field he loves and is good at.

Both parties have the intention to cooperate, and their attitudes are sincere, so the negotiation is natural and smooth.

Chen Yu pays, but he has to go to school, and he doesn't know enough about the clothing market of this era, so naturally he won't intervene in the management.

Not surprisingly, after the factory was built, Chen Zehai had to take care of everything big and small.

At the beginning of building the factory, neither of them planned to become fat with one bite. The plan was to invest in about [-] sewing machines in the early stage.

The production of clothing processing factories in this era is not as highly mechanized as later generations. There are many kinds of clothing production machinery. Today's small and medium-sized factories generally use sewing machines plus manpower, and the scale depends on the number of sewing machines.

Like Xiaodong's family, a sewing machine can start a hair ring business. Of course, this is mainly because the hair rings are relatively small and the workload is small.

But in a small family workshop, a few dozen sewing machines are considered a small factory—of course, the procedures will not be so complete, but it does not affect the clothes that people make and sell.

It is said that this era is an era of business opportunities everywhere, and pigs can take off even if they stand on the wind.

This may be a bit exaggerated, but it is undeniable that the gradually opening up market has begun to burst into vitality, people's repressed desire to buy has been released, and the ratio of supply and demand has made countless businesses laugh out loud.

Basically, when the product is produced, as long as the price is not too outrageous, it will sell very well.

Some scarce commodities, such as TV sets, are still rushing to buy even if they are unreasonably expensive, and it is not uncommon to queue up and fight to buy them.

Like those clothes produced by Xingcheng Garment Factory, it seems that the local department stores are not out of stock, and even have sufficient supply.

Don't forget that Xingcheng is the capital of a province, and there is a large garment factory in this city that radiates to the surrounding area. The situation of department stores in this city does not represent other places.

Among other things, let's just say that the dozens of pieces of clothing brought back by the Shen family were not for serious sale, and they were all snatched up at the train station, which shows how big the market demand is.

Chen Yu and the others built a factory, and the clothes they produced were really easy to sell. Although Chen Zehai resigned, he had a clear understanding of the channels for purchasing and shipping.

Currently, the retail price of a sewing machine is more than [-] yuan, and a sewing ticket is required. This is the most difficult place, so it is best to buy directly from a sewing machine factory.

Chen Zehai did know the leaders of several sewing machine factories, but they used to represent the country's factories to discuss machine purchases, but now they are private individuals, so it may not be so easy to buy.

Shen Qiao helped to solve this problem, he went to Mingzhu City to help people upgrade their machines, and the sewing machine factory had to buy machines and parts from the machinery factory.

With this relationship, there is no need to worry about sewing machines. As long as the money is in place, they can arrange machines for them at any time.

The total price of 9000 sewing machines is about [-] yuan, and you have to find a factory, recruit workers, buy raw materials, and so on.

Adding up the total, Chen Zehai tried to reduce the cost as much as possible, and it would cost upwards of [-].

When he gave the quotation, he still felt a little unspeakable. He knew that Chen Yu had made some money, but he opened his mouth to make people invest tens of thousands of yuan. The age of the household as a symbol of affluence.

Chen Zehai said that he could take out 3000 yuan.

Chen Yu reckoned that it was probably all the money he could get out after saving the family's expenses.

Chen Yu felt that it didn't matter whether Chen Zehai voted or not, now that he has a lot of money, it's really worth tens of thousands.

But he couldn't say that, it seemed like he was ostentatious.

In the end, the two negotiated, the initial investment was 2 yuan, Shen Yu offered [-], and Chen Zehai offered [-].

According to the investment ratio, Chen Zehai felt that 15.00% of the shares would be enough for him, and Chen Yu would own the rest.

But Chen Yu disagreed, he felt that he didn't care about the business, he only paid for it, Chen Zehai was in charge of the big and small things of the factory, from procurement to production to sales, they were all in charge, he couldn't contribute in vain, he should take more shares.

Well, don't cooperate with others because they are all vying for more shares. These two people almost quarreled because they felt that they had too many shares.

In the end, after arguing and arguing, the set ratio was 30.00% for Chen Zehai and 70.00% for Chen Yu.

No matter how much Chen Zehai quit, he felt that he was taking too much advantage of Chen Yu, and he didn't have the face.

That's fine, that's fine, if the factory grows bigger in the future, 30.00% profit will be indispensable.

Since it is a joint venture between two people, some preliminary work can just be discussed.

Most of them can reach a consensus, only one point is controversial.

Regarding the factory building, Chen Zehai’s opinion is to rent the factory building, because it is cheap, and the rent is very cheap. Whether it is rented from the government or privately, it costs less than a few hundred yuan a year.

Chen Yu has a different opinion, but when it comes to houses, you can buy them and never rent them.

He feels that he is not an investment boss, but no matter how he knows that real estate is definitely an investment that appreciates in value, it is the kind of investment that does not move and doubles.

But Chen Zehai thinks this is an unnecessary investment. Although the housing prices in Mingzhu City seem to have risen a little in the past two years, that is nothing.

Take the factory building they want to rent as an example. It is enough to rent a factory building of two to three hundred square meters for fifty sewing machines, and the annual rent is only one or two hundred yuan.

However, if such a large factory building is bought together with the land, it will cost at least several thousand yuan, which is enough for them to rent for decades, which is too exaggerated.

As a result, Chen Yu was pleasantly surprised after listening to his analysis: "Only a few thousand yuan? So cheap?"

He was so happy, that was Mingzhu City. The place where the factory is now looks remote. After decades, it might be considered the center of the city.

Thousands of dollars to buy a few hundred square meters. If the factory is relocated and he builds a building, he may have the trouble of collecting rent in the future.

Chen Zehai: "..." Cheap?

"Then what, otherwise." Chen Yu pondered for a while, if Chen Zehai thinks buying land is not worthwhile, don't force him, after all, he has a total capital of 2 yuan, so asking him to spend a few thousand to buy land seems a bit too much.

"I bought the land and the factory building, and I rent it to our factory. Is it okay for you to count the rent for me?" In fact, it doesn't matter whether the rent is necessary or not, but Chen Zehai is definitely not willing to take advantage of it.

"That's no problem." Chen Zehai just couldn't figure out why Chen Yu was so keen on hoarding houses. I've heard before that he bought all the houses for the few stores he opened.

"Then I will trouble you. If you can, please help me pay more attention. If there are land and house sales, please help me keep an eye on them. If it suits me, I will start."

Chen Zehai: "..."

I don't understand, I don't understand, this must be how much I love the house.

But Chen Zehai still agreed, it’s not a big deal, Chen Yu’s requirements are low, even in such a remote place in the suburbs, that kind of place is so panicky, the government sells the whole piece, and the price is kept low No one wants it.

If Chen Yu wants to buy it, it's just a matter of dropping by, it's really not troublesome.

Chen Yu: In the wilderness?From now on it will be urban!

"Why did you buy so much land?" Chen Zehai couldn't help asking.

"I think the house price will rise in the future, and it will rise sharply. Buy some land and stockpile it, and wait for the appreciation."

Chen Zehai is dubious, the house price has risen, Thaksin believes, now the family lives in such a crowded place, the children have to have more space to get married when they grow up, it is normal for the house price to rise, but how far can it go if it goes up again? times?

Chen Yu didn't explain further, the house price rose so terribly in later generations, he would be believed even if he said it.

If he hadn't traveled here by himself, if another person told him that the house would be tens of thousands per square meter in the future, he wouldn't believe it.

After all aspects were negotiated, Chen Yu gave the money to Chen Zehai, and he packed up and was ready to go.

He didn't bring his family there for the first two days. He first looked for a good place to live, arranged for the schools of his two daughters, and then took the family over and settled them down, so he had to start busy with his career.

Chen Zehai told Chen Yu that it is difficult to recruit workers in Mingzhu City. It was originally a small fishing village with a limited population. Most of the workers recruited by the factory are migrant workers.

But now people have no awareness of leaving their hometowns to work in other cities. Many people may have never traveled far in their entire lives, and communication is not so convenient, and it is easy to get lost.

Especially the peasants in the countryside, many of them are illiterate, they can't even write their own names, and the furthest place they can go to may be the county town.

When I really went to a big city, I became dizzy all of a sudden, and couldn't even find my way home.

Before, the Shen family dared to travel directly across provinces, mainly because of the large number of people, and more than half of them were middle-aged men.

There are really scammers who are not clear-headed. If the gang of scammers does not have 80 NO. [-] people, there is a high probability that they will be killed.

All in all, there are fewer people who dare to go to other places to work, the local labor force is insufficient, and there are fewer workers, so the wage level will be pulled up.

It is especially difficult to recruit people for a newly opened factory like theirs, unless they pay higher wages.

For example, in Xingcheng, the minimum salary of the employees in the Chenyu store is 50 yuan, and the average salary is about 70 yuan, which is already one of the highest wages in the city. The benefits are also very good, so many people come every time they are recruited.

But in Mingzhu City, 80 yuan is the bottom line. In order to catch up with work, some factories do not give shifts for a month. They work more than [-] hours a day, and their wages can reach [-], [-], or hundreds of yuan.

As a result, production costs are increased.

Chen Zehai's idea was that he went to find some factory leaders he knew to find connections. They had connections in the local area and could help contact some skilled craftsmen.

But in this way, the wages have to be higher, at least 80 yuan or even 90 yuan.

Chen Yu has no objection to this salary level, but he thought of another thing.

"Our factory recruits workers. Do you have any requirements for workers? For example, education level, age, gender and so on." Chen Yu asked.

Chen Zehai thought about it, before the garment factory was a big state-owned factory, so there must be an assessment for recruiting workers.

But their private factories are not so strict. If you really want to talk about requirements, there are some, at least you must be proficient in using the sewing machine.

After Chen Zehai finished explaining, Chen Yu asked again: "Is sewing machine easy to learn?"

Chen Zehai said: "I don't think it is difficult, as long as you get started, the more you work, the more proficient you will be."

He also came up from the production workshop, and he knew how to step on the sewing machine. Chen Meili had some skirts when she was a child, and her father made them.

"Then what do you think, if we recruit people to train ourselves, can we succeed? The salary can not be so high."

Chen Yu didn't want to deduct workers' wages, but after hearing from Chen Zehai that it was difficult to recruit workers, he thought that Second Aunt Shen almost didn't beg him in order to keep her cousin.

Cao Mancang had just arrived, and his monthly salary was 50 yuan. The whole family was very satisfied, and the second aunt almost confessed Chen Yu as a god.

It is difficult to recruit workers in big cities, but it is also difficult for ordinary people in the countryside to find a job that can earn some money.

There are few local opportunities, and they don't dare to go to other places if they don't know the way.

However, Chen Yu can connect the two. The factory needs to recruit workers, and the fellow villagers want to work. The pre-training may take some effort, but the salary they can accept is definitely lower than the local average salary.

"You mean..." Chen Zehai felt something: "Recruit workers from the countryside, and then we train ourselves?"

"Yes." Chen Yu didn't go around and said directly: "You know the situation with my dad. Some relatives in my hometown are quite reliable. Let them help find some people who are willing to come out to work. We only need to pay an average salary. , people will definitely be happy to do it.”

When the time comes, find a team leader to take people there together, so you don't have to worry about getting lost, and you will be surrounded by fellow villagers, so your safety will be greatly improved.

Chen Zehai immediately made a calculation in his mind, even if there were no shifts, fifty machines would require at least fifty workers.

Local recruits have to pay 60 to 71 yuan in salary, and rural recruits are willing to pay as much as [-] yuan a month. Even if they are given [-] months, they can save [-] to [-] yuan a month. This is not a small number.

And their initial investment is a staff training, which is simple, and he can do it himself.

Chen Yu didn't say that people who couldn't do it insisted on stuffing them in. After the staff training was over, it was up to Chen Zehai whether they could pass or not.

"I think it's okay. It just so happens that I have to go there to make arrangements in the next few days. You can contact someone first?" Chen Zehai thinks this idea is indeed a good idea, a win-win situation.

In fact, with this kind of opportunity, if the Wang family hadn't done that kind of thing, he would definitely contact his relatives in Wangjiagou now, and more or less would give him a chance.

Now, oh, dream, he won't even mention it.

"Okay." Chen Yu thought for a moment, and said: "Try to build a bigger factory building, and arrange the staff's dormitory and cafeteria. The people we recruit here are all foreigners. It is easier to manage them by arranging board and lodging for them."

"I know this." Chen Zehai also added: "As for the workers, try to focus on female workers."

According to his many years of experience, in most cases, women are indeed more prominent than men in terms of ingenuity, and men are better than strength attributes.

"Where's the security?" Chen Yu thought of the security team in his shop, couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm going to trouble you."

Back then, Zhang Xiaoshan and the others were introduced by Chen Zehai.

Chen Zehai also laughed when he thought of this. At that time, the old brothers of Chen Yu Gang arranged jobs for him, and he was very grateful in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, but that the state-run factory has many things that are difficult to operate. If he can help one or two, it will be enough. It's really difficult to arrange more.

It's all right now. Although the factory is small, it has all internal organs.

The security department, warehouse management, etc., can all give a chance to the old brothers who had a difficult life in the past.

Obviously Chen Yu also had this attitude, which made him very pleased.

The two can be considered to have a very happy conversation. Although the age difference is a bit big, they have discussed all aspects of issues, and the three views are relatively consistent, so it is very comfortable to cooperate.

After everything was negotiated, Chen Zehai set off for Mingzhu City first, and Chen Yu sent a telegram to his hometown, asking him to make a phone call. He couldn't explain this matter clearly, and writing letters was too slow.

On the other side of the old Shen's house, new houses are being built in full swing.

When she just came back, Hu Niu blew a mouthful with her friends, saying that their family was going to build a new house.Within a day, the news spread throughout the village.

The Shen family was very lively in those few days, there were many people in the house all day long, those who came to see the new clothes, listened to their stories about the city, and even took a train ride with great interest.

Like eating in a restaurant, visiting a department store, watching a movie in a cinema, these plots are endless!

The Shen family talked about it over and over again, and those who have heard it will still come to listen next time.

The only problem is probably that there are so many of them. When talking about the plot of the movie, they insisted on telling more than a dozen versions, which confused people. They almost thought they were not watching the same movie.

But this kind of excitement lasted only a few days, and the Shen family also had their own affairs, so how could they find the time to entertain guests every day.

You say that when someone comes, at least a bowl of water should be served. If you have a good relationship, you should treat them with fried melon seeds and the like.

For a day or two, the Shen family members themselves said they were bored, so they simply put the matter of building a house on the agenda.

The villagers knew that they were going to build a new house, but at first they guessed that they would build one or two brick houses. Unexpectedly, when the village chief approved the homestead, it would be a big house over [-] square meters.

The news came from the village chief's house, and the villagers talked a lot, this must be able to build several houses, the Shen family is really rich!

However, the Shen family was more wealthy than they could have imagined. They didn't build a brick house or two and went straight to the small building.

Shen Jiazhuang is a lot of labor. Apart from Mr. Shen, he also has two brothers. His family built a house, and the men of these two families came to help.

That's not to mention, Aunt Shen and Aunt Shen's house also sent people over, and Cao Mancang's two elder brothers also came.

The truckloads of cement bricks and reinforced floor slabs were pulled from the brick and tile factory floor factory in the county, which made the villagers envious.

It would be great to build a brick and tile house, and return cement and steel bars. What do you want to build? Build a palace!

For this reason, the Shen family even set up a shed outside, and arranged for people to keep watch at night, fearing that these things would be stolen.

I really caught someone who stole bricks twice, and once caught them on the spot, it was a poor household in the village who wanted to steal their bricks and sell them for money.

There was another time when he was from another village and was related by marriage to a family in the same village. When he came to see relatives, he was distracted, but was thrown into a stinky ditch by the Shen brothers.

With enough building materials and enough manpower, the house can be built very quickly.

For work like wall-building, those who have built brick houses in the village with the most stable and flat hands are specially selected. Those who have only built earthen houses are not allowed to do it.

When the Chen Yu telegram was sent, the small building of the Shen family was being roofed, and people came to watch the building every day, which was extremely rare.

So when the postman delivered the telegram, many people saw it, and when they heard that it was sent by that very promising Shen Maoer from the Shen family, they all gathered around to see what he had to say.

It's nothing, just let the Shen family make a call.

The villagers dispersed boredly, but the Shen family did not dare to take it seriously.

Mr. Shen called his grandson and set off for the county. He used to write letters for everything. If it wasn't something important, why would he send a telegram?

Let them call, there must be something important to say.

So Mr. Shen didn't dare to delay at all, and even borrowed the ox cart from the old Niu's house in the village.

When he arrived at the post office in the county, Mr. Shen took out the phone number that Chen Yu had left for him, checked it carefully and made a call.

He didn't know how to call last time, so he asked the staff to help, and he went back to make up his homework and recognized all these numbers.

The phone was connected, and Mr. Shen asked worriedly, before he was coaxed by his precious grandson to smile.

When it came to serious matters, Mr. Shen couldn't laugh anymore, his mouth opened wide, making everyone dumbfounded.

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he asked him several times, asking about all aspects, and he didn't even care about the phone bill.

If he didn't know that Chen Yu would not lie to him, and he also saw how rich his grandson was when he went to the city, now Mr. Shen would think that this grandson would not be able to survive and become a liar.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yu's cousin Shen Qingtian couldn't wait to ask: "Master, what did the cat say?" He scared his grandfather so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

Mr. Shen closed his mouth, stared blankly for a while, and said in a daze, "Mao'er said that the elder he knew opened a factory and wanted to recruit workers. Let's see if there are any of us who are willing to be workers."

Shen Qingtian was overjoyed immediately: "Master, I, I am willing to go!"

My cousin Shen Qingfeng stayed in the city, and it was arranged by Maoer. If there is this opportunity, who would not want to stay in the city.

"You can't." Old Master Shen flatly refused.

Shen Qingtian was disappointed: "Why can't I, I can do it too, I'm not lazy at all!"

Old Man Shen leaned towards him: "They want a female worker to make clothes and step on the sewing machine, can you do it?"

Shen Qingtian really wanted to say that he could do it, but he couldn't open his mouth. His own clothes were torn, which were sewn by his mother or sister.

It's no problem to let him do physical work, but the sewing needle is so small that it can't be pinched at all.

"Then can my Chunnier do it?" Shen Qingtian turned to think of his own sister: "How many cats can you arrange for me? Master, you have to give Chunier a chance, she is very good."

"Don't worry, there must be a chance."

"Grandpa, you are so kind!"

"The cat said it wants fifty, where can I gather so many..." The old man's tone was distressed, but the smile on his face didn't mean it at all.
