Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua no longer paid attention to Sun Guangming's affairs. Perhaps because she knew Fengjiao had remarried, it was useless for them to make a fuss. So Sun's father and mother did not go to Lijiatun to cause trouble.

Time passed quickly, and in the sunlight that Li Jianguo had been looking forward to, the production line finally arrived.

Li Jianguo mobilized strong laborers from the village and borrowed a truck from someone to transport the production line from the train station to the garment factory. Then everyone in the village knew that the Mailang Brewery was going to build a branch in their county.

The village soon exploded.

Li Jianguo had just returned from the county and had not yet gone home when he was blocked by villagers at the entrance of the village, asking if the garment factory was the brewery he built.

Li Jianguo did not disappoint them and nodded, "This is the branch factory built by Ergou. This time, we will still follow the agreement made last time and select people from the families that have invested more to work. A total of ten people will be recruited."

There were also two workers who were transferred from Nantong Brewery by Ergou to debug the equipment. These were professionals, and ordinary villagers in Lijiatun were not qualified for the job.

After hearing about the investment amount, everyone asked Li Jianguo to name the names.

Li Jianguo took out his previous investment capital and named the names from top to bottom.

Some people think it is unfair. “Why should people who invest more go to Nantong to work, so far away from home, while people who invest less stay in their hometown?”

Li Jianguo explained, "The brewery operates in three shifts. Nantong provides free dormitories, but we don't. You need to go home and live there. If you want to live in the factory, that's fine. But you need to pay five yuan a month in rent. In addition, the monthly salary in Nantong is one hundred and six yuan. Here it's only eighty-six yuan."

There was a difference of 20 yuan. Nantong was not a big city, and the consumption level was not much different from that of their county.

Some people questioned, “Why is the salary difference so big?”

"Nantong has many production lines and a lot of work. Ours is a new factory with fewer production lines and less work. So I can only afford an 86. If you think it's too little, I won't force you." Li Jianguo's attitude was indifferent, but no one could question what he said.

The villagers looked at each other, and soon someone said, "Eighty-six is ​​pretty high. At least it's much better than farming. And it's not tiring."

Compared to farming, moving beer is not that tiring. The most important thing is that I get a fixed salary every month. And when I am busy, I can take leave without delaying my work in the fields.

Once one person stood up to express his opinion, others also rushed to express their opinions, fearing that if they were a step late, their jobs would be taken away by others.

This was the first time that Li Jianguo was a factory manager, and everything was still in the exploratory stage.

He quickly set up a production department. Then he started to buy grain from the grain store. Ordinary people could not afford to buy so much grain, and of course he did not have so many grain coupons. The raw material for beer is wheat, but their village rarely grows wheat, most of them grow rice, soybeans, corn and the like.

He runs a factory and needs an invoice from his superiors. So Li Jianguo went to the county leaders and applied for a special application form to buy grain.

The county leaders agreed, but the grain station leaders also had to agree, so they invited the other party to drink again.

When Zhang Xiuhua returned home, she saw Li Jianguo lying drunk on the kang, stroking his forehead, looking dizzy.

When he woke up, she asked him, "Didn't you say you can kill first and ask for permission later? Why did you drink so much?"

"You can apply for a business license later, but grain is a state-controlled commodity, and I don't have that many grain coupons, so I need the boss's permission." Li Jianguo had a headache, "Now it's done."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't quite understand. "There are people in our village who grow wheat. Why do we have to go to the grain station to buy it?"

"What's the use of the little wheat in our village?"

"If our village is not enough, can we go to other villages?" Zhang Xiuhua felt that he was not smart enough.

Li Jianguo waved his hand and said, "The factory cannot directly purchase grain from farmers. It needs to apply for a purchase license. Instead of me going to apply for this certificate, it is better for me to ask the leader to approve the grain directly. It will take less time."

Zhang Xiuhua sighed. What a hassle! She asked, "You are responsible for these operations, so who will lead the production department? There must be someone to take the lead, right?"

Li Jianguo actually found someone, "The old accountant's son, he helps me manage it."

"Zhan Ning?" Zhang Xiuhua was surprised. "His family runs a chicken farm. Is he free to work?"

"Yes. The chicken farm is not making money. I heard from the old accountant that he was planning to transfer the chicken farm to someone else. It just so happened that his family had invested a lot, and this time it was their turn to provide a strong laborer, so he asked his son to come to work." Li Jianguo rubbed his eyebrows, still feeling dizzy.

While the two were talking, Li Zhan Ning came. Li Jianguo couldn't lie on the kang anymore, so he came out of the room immediately.

"Why are you here?" Li Jianguo invited him into the house and sit down.

Li Zhanning was a little embarrassed. "Now that the equipment has been transported here, the villagers asked me to come and ask when the work will start?"

"I have been looking for leaders to buy food these days. The higher-ups have agreed. We will start production tomorrow." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "You will be the workshop leader in the future and arrange their production."

Li Zhan Ning's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he could get a position as a team leader. He was overjoyed. "Yes! Thank you, village chief."

Li Jianguo told him not to thank him so quickly, "Tomorrow a young man will report to our factory, you should receive him then. He has connections with people above, so don't let him work, just let him do whatever he wants. Just let him be an idle person."

Li Zhan Ning understood, "Okay, I'll give him some light work. How about having him register at the warehouse door?"

"How can you let him take charge of such an important department as the warehouse? Just give him a sinecure." Li Jianguo thought for a moment, "Let him check if there are any defective beers on the assembly line."

Li Zhan Ning was speechless. Beer was filled by machines. Whether it was sealed properly or not could be seen when it was transported. Why did he need to arrange another employee to check it? However, there was indeed no better position to arrange for the relatives, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay. I will arrange it well."

"You should also tell others not to be jealous, so as to avoid trouble." Li Jianguo reminded again and again.

"Don't worry." Li Zhan Ning left after receiving the task.

Zhang Xiuhua was a little speechless. "The factory hasn't started production yet, and there's already a relative?"

"It's hard to find a job now. Many state-owned factories have closed down. In my county, I think only the agricultural machinery station and the steel plant will not close down. Other factories..." Li Jianguo shook his head, obviously not optimistic about this. But he added, "But this relative is not a direct relative, but a collateral branch. A stable income is enough, and there is no need to offer too high a salary."

Zhang Xiuhua understood, which meant that this was a one-time deal.

She changed the subject, "The beer will be produced soon. Are you going to set up a sales department and have people sell it?"

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "It's not that difficult. State-owned breweries are expensive and they certainly can't sell as well as us. What I'm worried about is the delivery problem."

The factory was responsible for delivering the goods, but he couldn't afford a truck or a van.

After he reminded her, Zhang Xiuhua realized, "It's too slow to deliver goods with a hand tractor, right?"

"Yes!" Li Jianguo originally considered an electric tricycle, but the wheels of the tricycle were too thin, and there was thick snow on their side and the road, so the tires of the tricycle would slip easily.

"Then let's use a tractor. It doesn't matter if it's slow. We can find people in the village to help deliver the goods. We can hire them as temporary employees and pay them wages." Zhang Xiuhua felt that the slow speed didn't matter, as long as the quantity was large, the goods could still be delivered safely.

Li Jianguo couldn't think of a better solution, so he could only agree.

Fortunately, it was the end of the year and everyone was staying indoors for the winter. When they learned that their brewery was hiring temporary employees, they came to sign up.

In the next few days, the brewery worked in three shifts. Li Jianguo took out a sum of money from his own account as food payment and produced beer. He took the beer to each store to sell it.

Mailang beer is cheaper than state-owned beer. And the quantity is sufficient. Unlike other beers that are limited in quantity and require tickets, this one has no limit.

Zhang Xiuhua was cleaning the house when Li Jianguo came back from outside in a hurry. As soon as he entered the yard, he started calling her name, "Xiuhua?"

Zhang Xiuhua agreed, and Li Jianguo rushed in from outside in two or three steps, waving his hand, "Xiuhua, guess how many bottles of beer I sold today?"

Zhang Xiuhua really didn't know, "How much?"

"Two thousand boxes." Li Jianguo sat down on the kang. "We haven't even advertised our beer yet, but it's selling so well."

Zhang Xiuhua did some calculations. Two thousand boxes, one box has 12 bottles, that's bottles. She was puzzled, "Didn't you say before that you have sold more than boxes? Do you have enough production lines?"

"Our factory operates in three shifts and can produce about 17,000 bottles a day. That's about 500,000 bottles a month. Fifty thousand boxes plus two thousand boxes makes 624,000 boxes." Li Jianguo took a breath. It was not enough.

"Don't sell it anymore. You'll be too busy." Zhang Xiuhua also reminded him, "And don't rashly agree to their request for more goods. We don't have that much inventory."

Li Jianguo sighed, "I haven't visited all the stores in our county yet. I still have one-third to go. Is that enough?"

It's a pity that such a profitable business has to be stopped.

"Beer is selling well near the end of the year. I guess sales won't be good after the new year." Zhang Xiuhua asked him to try to promote it then.

Li Jianguo thought about it and it made sense. If he took too many orders at once and couldn't produce them later, there would definitely be trouble. He nodded, "Okay! I'll listen to you."
