Rebirth starts without a spare tire

They don't even know when the holidays will be, let alone buy train tickets.

On the 15th, Liu Qing went to the mask factory and had lunch with everyone in the factory cafeteria at noon.

When an employee asked him when the factory would be on holiday, Liu Qing pondered for a while before saying:

"I know everyone wants to go home for the New Year, but this year's situation is a bit special. I hope you can all stay here for the New Year this year."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar:

"Boss, this is not going to work. The whole family is looking forward to us going home for the New Year. How can we stay here?"

"Boss, we have been away for a year, and we just want to go home to reunite with our family during the Chinese New Year. How can you keep us here?"

"Boss, we can go back a few days later, or come back a few days earlier, but we still have to go home during the Chinese New Year."

No one agrees.

Chapter 239 Stay in the Factory for the New Year

Many migrant workers wander outside all year round, struggling to make a living, and they can only go home during the Chinese New Year, reunite with their families for a few days, and spend the New Year together.

After the Chinese New Year, I didn't dare to feel the warmth of the family for a long time, and I had to leave in a hurry to continue working hard for my livelihood.

This is a great era of transformation from an agricultural society to an industrial society.

In this great era, countless little people, like the migration of animals in nature, left their hometowns, far away from their homeland, and went to other places thousands of miles away to make a living.

The hometown is becoming more and more unfamiliar, and the foreign land is becoming more and more familiar. Many times, people can't tell whether they are in their hometown or in a foreign land, and they don't know where they will eventually convert.

There is a word called Spring Festival Transport.

These two words contain countless joys and sorrows in this great era.

Many people can only find that little sense of belonging during the Spring Festival travel season and when they go home for the New Year.

Going home for the New Year has become a kind of belief for most Chinese people.

Now that Liu Qing told them that they couldn't go home for the New Year this year, of course they would be anxious.

Fortunately, everyone's opposition is not particularly fierce.

Because the factory’s wages for them are quite high, including their board and lodging, they can get six to seven thousand yuan a month, and some can even get seven to eight thousand yuan for overtime work. The Prodigal Boss has a lot of affection.

Opposition that is not violent is still opposition.

Ma Guoming was a little anxious, not knowing why Liu Qing said such things.

Liu Qing and the rest of the group had said almost everything, and then said:

"Be quiet, everyone, and listen to me."

As the boss, he still has a little prestige in the hearts of the workers. After he spoke, the voices of opposition stopped.

Liu Qing said: "I know that going home for the New Year is very important to everyone, but this year is really a special situation."

"Why is it special?" someone asked.

"The epidemic," Liu Qing said, "I don't know if you have paid attention to the news, but now there is an epidemic."

Some people don't care about this, but some people do.

Someone asked: "Isn't there only a few dozen? There is no need to make a fuss, right?"

"At present, only dozens of patients have been detected, not only dozens of patients, but many patients have not been found. This is the most dangerous." Liu Qing said.

As he spoke, he added: "Such patients have been found in Siam."

Those people gasped.

Liu Qing said: "There are two considerations for letting you stay here for the New Year. One consideration is that now that the epidemic has occurred, no one knows how many people have this disease and how contagious the disease is. You guys In the process of going back and forth, it is very likely to be infected. Another possibility is that the epidemic broke out and the traffic was blocked. After you go back, you will not be able to return to work.”

"Another consideration is that this is a respiratory infectious disease. If the epidemic breaks out across the country, there will be a great demand for masks. We are making masks. Let me not talk about making money or not. At such a moment, if we produce one more mask, we can add strength to the fight against the epidemic. In this regard, I also hope that you can stay. It is of great benefit to the country and the people."

Those people still listened to the previous words.

But they didn't believe what was said after hearing it, and they all thought:

"What's the matter, at the price you set, you still want to sell the mask?"

Just about to say something, I heard Liu Qing say again:

"I also know that it is inhumane to let you stay here and continue to work during the Chinese New Year. I should make some compensation to you. This is what I think. Starting today, in the next month, normal In addition to working wages, everyone, every day, I will give you an extra 200 yuan overtime allowance for the Chinese New Year. For those who stay here for the New Year, each person will be given a 2000 yuan New Year’s red envelope—this coexists with the year-end bonus.”

Many workers suddenly felt that it seemed okay to stay here for the New Year.

The overtime subsidy of 200 yuan per day is paid continuously for one month, which is 6000 yuan.

Plus the 2000 yuan New Year's red envelope, that's 8000 yuan.

And during the period of stay, the daily wages were still paid as usual, and calculated according to normal standards, this was several thousand yuan.

The travel expenses for returning home for the Chinese New Year, and various consumptions for the Chinese New Year, that is another large sum of money.

After calculating the inside and outside, you can get an extra 2 to [-] yuan.

Although I lost the opportunity to reunite with my family, I can give my family a better life with an extra 2 or [-] yuan.

Don't spend it, store it there, and have an extra guarantee in the future.

Especially those employees of the village, who live in this village, there is no such thing as going home for the New Year.

I am very happy to spend so much money out of thin air.

Ma Guoming looked at Liu Qing in horror—the masks could not be sold, and the warehouse was almost full, and you still have to pay them more money to keep producing masks during the Chinese New Year. What is this for?

He felt that Liu Qing was stunned by this matter.

However, he is the boss, and if he is willing to pay the money to liquidate his position, he can't persuade him.

After Liu Qing finished speaking, the workers expressed their opinions one after another:

"Since the epidemic is so serious, let's stay here for the New Year."

"The boss is also right. I won't go home for the New Year this year, and we will talk about it next year."

"Why don't you go home on Ching Ming Festival?"

"In the face of the epidemic, we mask workers should also make a contribution to the country."

Listening to these reasonable statements, Liu Qing was quite relieved: "The awareness of the masses is still quite high, let them stay, and they all stay."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he once again emphasized the issue of fire safety and asked everyone to pay attention.

There are hundreds of millions of masks stocked in the warehouse, and there are so many raw materials.

According to the price they are quoting now, it is worth several hundred million.

If a fire is lost, to whom to reason?

Using the banknote ability to solve the problem of mask factory workers staying in the factory for the New Year, Liu Qing let go of the last stone in her heart.

The raw materials are sufficient, the machines are sufficient, and the workers have stayed. After the outbreak of the epidemic, they also have the conditions to expand production capacity.

Otherwise, most of the workers would go home for the New Year, and only a few workers from the village would work here, and most of the production capacity would be idle for more than a month, which would be a pity.

After returning home, I suddenly thought that the 16th is the deadline for voting for Pengcheng Top Ten Young Entrepreneurs of the Year. Today is already the 15th, and I don’t know what happened to the number of votes.

I clicked into the official account and looked at it, and Liu Qing was taken aback—his votes reached more than 5 votes, more than 2 votes more than No.3, and he was far ahead of the crowd.

"This is the rhythm for me to win the championship!"

he thought to himself.

Chapter 240 Hot Dry Noodles Food Factory

1 month 16 number.

The optimization of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic reagents has been completed, and more than 60 local hospitals above grade [-] have been actively screened for fever clinics and patients under observation.

This is a relatively positive signal.

But Liu Qing knew that the production capacity of initial diagnostic reagents was very low, and large-scale testing was simply not possible.

There are many infected people who carry the virus and don't even have the opportunity to be tested.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, the routine model of testing the whole city one year later cannot be done at this time.

It's not a question of whether you want to do it or not, but that you simply don't have the ability to do it.

The data released now cannot explain the real situation.

Everyone understands this truth.

There are more and more discussions on the Internet.

But on the whole, we still maintain a cautious and optimistic attitude, and feel that with the country's current capabilities, as long as we get serious, we can easily eliminate this epidemic.

For the Tianyuan Group, with the disclosure of more information about the epidemic, their response measures have been raised to another level.

Su Qi would discuss with Liu Qing every night—she found sadly that the only person who could give her constructive advice on how to deal with the epidemic was this semi-literate man who hadn't graduated from junior high school.

She didn't really believe some of Liu Qing's views at first, but the development trend of things gradually proved that Liu Qing's deduction was correct, and she couldn't believe it.

A terrible thought even flashed deep in my heart:

"Maybe I have always underestimated him. He just didn't have the opportunity to receive higher education. In fact, he is a one-in-a-million business genius."

"Perhaps it is most suitable for him to be the president of Tianyuan Group."

The situation is getting worse, and she also realizes that the market for masks will be huge in the future.

If it breaks out as Liu Qing described, masks may become a hard currency in the epidemic era.

Tianyuan Mask Factory, which started preparations a few months in advance, is likely to make amazing profits.

At that time, her bet with Liu Qing will end in her failure, and she can only accept Liu Qing as the leader of Tianyuan Group.

——She has already started to calculate what will happen after the bet fails.

Calling and chatting with Liu Qing about these things every night, Ye Wanrong and Xiaowen have mastered the rules of time, and they will not knock on the door until the chat is over.

The two girls knew about each other's affairs, and they were embarrassed at first, but they were very humble and let each other take the lead.

After a few days of humility, I finally found out that by letting Liu Qing, a playboy, lie down and win, he actually escaped the pain of hard work.

Later, the single-even day system was implemented in a tacit understanding. Today you knock on the door, and tomorrow I will knock on the door. This way, there will be no mutual concessions, and no one will benefit from the situation.

On the night of the 16th, it was Ye Wanrong's turn.

She knew that Su Qi would call Liu Qing, so she delayed until ten o'clock.

In the end, before opening the door, I heard Liu Qing and Su Qi still on the phone inside, making her so depressed:

"Is this woman sick? You like women yourself, so you just call the woman you like. Why do you call a man every day? Shuang, you?"

I had no choice but to sit in the living room and wait.

She blamed Su Qi a little bit today.

Because it was not Su Qi who took the initiative to call, but Liu Qing.

That night Liu Qing looked at the news bulletin of the place where the epidemic occurred, and suddenly remembered that there were no supplies there after the outbreak of the epidemic. less tense.

So I called Su Qi: "Does our group have any subsidiaries or shareholding companies in the place where the epidemic occurred?"

Su Qi quickly answered him: "There is a fully invested food factory in that city, Tianyuan Hot and Dry Noodle Food Factory."

"Do they have a warehouse?" Liu Qing asked.

"Food factory, of course there will be a warehouse." Su Qi was curious, "Why are you asking this?"

"I read the news, and the situation over there is not optimistic. I'm afraid it won't be long before it will explode. If it is blocked at that time, the place is not prepared enough, and there are not enough masks and protective clothing. It may be more dangerous." Liu Qing said own worries.

"You are just worrying too much," Su Qi said, "Since it is going to be blocked, you will definitely be prepared, and there will be no shortage of supplies."

Liu Qing sighed: "I'm afraid there will be a misjudgment, and I don't have enough judgment on the seriousness of the situation. I think it's better to get more relevant materials to go there."

That is not an epidemic that can be measured by common sense. It is beyond everyone's imagination and cannot be judged by normal standards at all.

At the beginning of the outbreak, Liu Qing could still remember how scarce medical supplies were.

Although that city was blocked, the Internet was still there. Netizens in a relatively safe area were very worried when they saw the situation there, and Liu Qing was one of them.

This time he was reborn, he hoped to play a role in it.
