Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

From Lin An's narration, Xu Wanning learned that the black brick kilns and some coal mines have now begun to take shape.

But the salary is not high, and the work requires heavy physical labor, and there are no adequate protective measures. The working environment is very dangerous, so not many people are willing to go.

Over time, those places were unable to recruit enough people, so they turned their attention to recruiting strong laborers from poor areas.

How much does a one-time “buyout” cost?

The cost of paying salaries every month will only be higher.

Therefore, the human trafficking groups nowadays not only traffic in children and lesbians, but also many gay men and some people with intellectual disabilities.

The action team led by Lin An destroyed the largest human trafficking gang that the military has currently come into contact with.

But China's territory is too large, and darkness is still growing rampantly in many places invisible to the naked eye. This criminal gang is just one of them, and there are many more that have not been discovered and are all targets to be destroyed.

So, Lin An still has a lot to do.

"Will there be a new mission after this one ends?"

Lin An pursed his lips, then released them, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry, Aning, it's almost the end of the year, and I should be with you. But..."

The incident in the bathhouse was not a big deal, and Xu Wanning solved it easily by herself. However, Lin An still felt guilty towards Xu Wanning because her husband was not around when she encountered the problem.

It is already mid-January, and the Chinese New Year is only about ten to twenty days away.

He would rest at home for a few days before setting off again. It would be impossible to complete the task in more than ten days, so he was destined to be unable to spend the New Year with Xu Wanning this year.

Hearing the deep guilt in Lin An's tone, Xu Wanning squeezed his hand and soothed him softly, "What you did is very meaningful, Lin An. We still have decades to spend together. It's nothing if we can't spend just one year together."

"Just think about it, you destroyed the criminal gang and rescued so many people, which means many families can spend a reunion year together. This kind of joy can't be imagined."

Lin An knew that as long as he told Xu Wanning that he was going to do a mission, she would not refuse no matter what.

However, the guilt I feel towards her will grow day by day.

"By the way, your teammates are back too, right? They've been out for over a month, and I guess they don't have enough to eat every day. How about this, after you finish your performance reports tomorrow, invite them to my house, and I'll cook a good meal myself to treat them well."

Anyway, she didn't have anything important to do these days, and reading and studying could be put off until later, so arranging a big meal was no big deal.

Lin An thought about it and agreed.

After all, he can still go home and spend a few days with Xu Wanning.

But some of his teammates are still unmarried, and those who are married live too far away from home and have no time to go back.

Although everyone needs food, it is also a very comfortable thing to have a good meal at home and relax.

The next day, Xu Wanning originally planned to ask Yang Kai to send some meat to her home, but after looking at the time, she thought it was time to go to the farm to settle the accounts, so she got up early and went to the farm.

Yang Kai had already prepared the account book.

Ever since the workers at the farm had caused a commotion before, the time for settling their commissions has been changed to once a quarter.

This quarter's commission will be paid out in the next two days. After Xu Wanning checked the account books and found no problems, she asked Yang Kai to pay the commission to everyone.

In addition to the commission, each person also received an additional fifty yuan as a year-end bonus.

Nowadays, the workers in the breeding farms can get 70 to 80 yuan a month, which may not seem like much at first glance, but their main source of income is commission. In a quarter, they can get 500 to 600 yuan in commission alone. If divided equally into three months, they can get at least 160 to 170 yuan a month. Adding their salary, they can get at least 250 yuan a month.

In the early 1980s, this income was considered high-income. Many people working in factories earned less than half of their monthly salary.

Although they did not have additional benefits such as food coupons and cloth coupons, the farm, in addition to paying wages, also gave them chickens, ducks, geese and even pork and mutton as benefits every month. This is meat, which is much more affordable than meat coupons.

Therefore, no one in the farm had any ulterior motives. They knew in their hearts that if they really angered Xu Wanning, they would not be able to get such a good job opportunity.

Although a year-end bonus of fifty yuan is not much, it is also an extra income for the farm employees.

Most importantly, it is recognition from their boss.

After distributing the year-end bonuses, Xu Wanning also collected all the money in the account book.

The last time I checked my accounts was three months ago, and my total income was just over 20,000 yuan.

In just three months, Xu Wanning's income doubled to more than 40,000 yuan.

Firstly, the scale of farms is getting bigger and bigger, and previously the initial investment was relatively large, so the profits were relatively small.

Now that things are back on track, apart from buying animal cubs and paying employees’ salaries, the rest is basically profit.

Secondly, as the year draws to a close, more and more people are willing to spend money, so sales are also increasing.

"Boss, I have something to discuss with you."

Xu Wanning looked at Yang Kai, "You say."

"Now that Xujiapuzi Restaurant has opened a branch, together with the old store and the second store, the three stores have a great demand for meat, which is one of the reasons why the revenue increased this quarter."

"But you saw it when you were walking around the farm just now. Not to mention the chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits that have a short growth cycle, the young of the cattle, sheep and pigs that have a long growth cycle have grown up and have bred more offspring. The number of animals in our farm is twice as many as the last time you came."

"Those that have grown up are basically ready for slaughter. So I thought, we can take advantage of the time before the Chinese New Year to open a butcher shop temporarily. Whether we sell chickens, ducks, geese, beef, pork, etc., we will definitely make a lot of money."

Making money is one thing, but on the other hand, we also have to deal with the animals.

"Okay. I'll leave this matter to you. Just find a few reliable people to do it."

"Okay! Then I'll start arranging this matter today. Oh, there's one more thing..."

Yang Kai glanced at Xu Wanning cautiously, then quickly lowered his head and dared not look at her, feeling quite guilty.
