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

"I heard from Ergou that the brewery will stock up two months in advance. Only then can it catch up with the peak season at the end of the year." Zhang Xiuhua told him everything she knew.

"Then we should prepare the goods two months in advance." Li Jianguo thinks that if we prepare in advance, we won't be so busy at the end of the year.

"We can't do that. Pre-stocking requires money. All the money your factory paid for grain was paid in advance by our family." Zhang Xiuhua asked him, "You've spent all the money? Do you have any more?"

Li Jianguo was stunned by her question, "We will have money in our account next year."

Thinking of this, he remembered, "We still need to find an accountant and a cashier to be responsible for the accounting."

He has been in charge of issuing invoices all by himself these days. He is very busy. He has not started collecting the invoices yet. If he does, he will not have time to manage the factory.

Recruiting accountants and cashiers is urgent! He is afraid that if it is too late, the accounts will be messed up.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Then let's hire two! Just post a job opening notice at the factory gate. There's no need to advertise in the newspaper. It's a waste of money."

"Row!"

Li Jianguo had only posted the notice at the door for half an hour when someone came to apply for a job. It was very hard to find a job these days. State-owned factories closed down one after another, and the number of laid-off workers gradually increased. This also brought hidden dangers to the city's public security. These people were wandering around the streets without jobs. When they saw that the factory was recruiting workers, even if they looked down on private factories in the past, they had to bow their heads and apply for jobs now because of the pressure of life.

In just half a day, Li Jianguo recruited two experienced employees.

Because Li Jianguo was busy with factory affairs and was not at home all day, Zhang Xiuhua stayed at home alone thinking about delicious food.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhuzhu finally had a holiday. When she returned home, she learned that the brewery had opened and was doing good business, so she also wanted to go and take a look.

Zhang Xiuhua stopped him, "What's there to see? The factory is so busy, your dad is busy as a top, if you go there, he won't have time to greet you."

Zhuzhu pouted, "This is the first time my dad has been a factory director, and I am the director's daughter. I want to show off for once."

"What's so great about it? There are only a dozen workers in the factory. And most of them are from our village." Zhang Xiuhua knew that she was being vain again and felt a little amused.

"More than a dozen? There must be more than this many people in the cafeteria, right?" Zhuzhu was surprised.

"Where is the canteen? All the workers in our factory bring their meals from home. The factory only provides hot water so that they can heat up their meals before eating." Zhang Xiuhua explained.

Zhuzhu curled her lips, "My dad is really stingy. Isn't this what a capitalist does?"

"Don't blame your dad. He's afraid of losing money. The equipment costs two million, brand new. Now the profit of a bottle of beer is only 32 cents. Just think about when you can get your investment back." Zhang Xiuhua has been settling accounts with the brewery these days.

Producing 192 bottles a month means million bottles a year, and the profit per bottle is yuan. That's about million bottles a year. But in reality, it's impossible to make that much. You still have to pay taxes, so it's probably only over million. There are also hidden costs, so the profits of northern companies are much lower than those of southern companies.

Why does Ergou keep buying equipment and not paying dividends? Because if he pays dividends, he will have to pay personal income tax. But if he buys equipment, he can keep expanding.

Zhuzhu was impatient to settle the bill. When she heard that the cost was so high, she gave up the idea of ​​visiting the brewery.

Although Zhuzhu couldn't go to the factory to show off, she finally satisfied her vanity.

Because the villagers rushed to send vegetables to Zhang Xiuhua's family, Zhang Xiuhua was busy, so she didn't buy pears in the autumn, and didn't make frozen pears. Some villagers sent a few to her family.

Zhang Xiuhua was at home, so she would at most answer one and keep it for the sake of showing her respect. This was the first time Zhuzhu had encountered such a situation, and she was in a dilemma whether to answer it or not.

After the people left, Zhuzhu asked what happened.

"If they don't have a good relationship, they will be given priority when the factory recruits workers next time." Previously, when investing in a brewery, the amount of investment was ranked down. The difference in the amount at the top was huge, but the difference became smaller as it went on.

Now, the people who have not yet received their turn have all invested 1,000 yuan. Since they are all 1,000 yuan, there is no order of priority.

The next person to be chosen depends on the village chief's preference! Some people have a long-term vision and come to get close to him in advance.

Zhuzhu suddenly realized what was going on. "It seems that the brewery's business is pretty good. They are actually thinking about hiring more people."

Zhang Xiuhua was not sure either. "Ergou said that only two production lines would be enough, but he didn't have much money, so he made this decision. I heard that he was going to build a branch factory in Henan."

Zhuzhu was puzzled, "Is it okay? Henan has been opened up?"

"The whole country has opened up." Zhang Xiuhua also said, "Henan is a plain, and wheat is the main crop. I heard that he is planning to build a branch instant noodle factory there."

Another point is that Henan mainly eats noodles, so instant noodles will definitely sell better.

Zhuzhu nodded, "That's really good!"

In the evening, Zhang Xiuhua cooked a table full of delicious food and called Zhuzhu to come over for dinner.

Zhuzhu came out of the house and looked outside. It was pitch black. "I'll wait for Dad to come back and eat together."

"No need to wait for him. There's a lot of work at the factory, and he won't be back until very late. Let's eat first." Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that she would be hungry. "You are in adolescence now, and you are growing up. Don't lose weight just to be slim."

Zhuzhu hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and said, "I didn't lose weight. I'm quite tall now."

Zhuzhu originally planned to wait for her father to come back and ask about the situation at the brewery, but she waited and waited until she fell asleep.

Zhang Xiuhua couldn't hold Zhuzhu anymore, she weighed 100 pounds and her sleeping posture was not good. She could only cover Zhuzhu with a blanket.

Li Jianguo came back and saw Zhuzhu lying on the sofa. He felt a little distressed and asked, "What if she's cold?"

"She insisted on waiting for you to come back." Zhang Xiuhua was helpless, "She fell asleep while watching TV."

Li Jianguo carried Zhuzhu back to the house and covered her with a blanket. When he returned to the main room, Zhang Xiuhua had already heated up the food for him. "Why did you come back so late today?"

"The beer sold so well that a relative of a leader opened a small shop and wanted a share, so I had to help out and deliver it to him personally." Li Jianguo picked up chopsticks while eating.

Zhang Xiuhua asked him, "Are you still working overtime during the Chinese New Year?"

Li Jianguo nodded as a matter of course, "Of course I have to work overtime. We rely on the New Year to make money all year round. We have to visit relatives a few days after the New Year, which is a good time to drink. Sales will definitely be high."

"You have to tell the villagers. Let them be mentally prepared." Zhang Xiuhua is worried that some families attach great importance to the Chinese New Year and do not want their family members to work overtime during the Chinese New Year.

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "I don't think it's a difficult task. On Chinese New Year's Day, there is double overtime pay. I think they will all rush to do it."

One day counts as three days, who would complain about having too much money?

The next day, Li Jianguo informed the factory workers that there would be no holiday during the Chinese New Year this year. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone could apply for a week's leave. They could also be paid double overtime pay.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, beer sales are expected to decline.

The workers went home and told the story, and no one in the village raised any objections. You must be kidding. There are so many people in the village watching over their posts. If they cause trouble, what will happen if the factory manager is replaced?

In a blink of an eye, several children in the family came back one after another.

Jilin and Tong Shuyu, who were both in college, were the first to come back. Then it was Yaoyao. Although she was also a college student, she was a medical student and could not rest even after the exams.

In her words, other subjects have their own focus, but medicine is all about the focus. When it comes to curing diseases and saving lives, you may encounter all kinds of situations.

She also told her family a joke that the professor in the class told her. When he was working, he once met a patient whose condition was exactly the same as in the book, and then he called all his apprentices over.

This shows how complicated and rare the patient's condition is.

Yaoyao came back with Zhenzhen and Bayue. Youcai was not at home this year, so Zhenzhen had to bring the children back for Li Jianguo to see.

After these people came back, it was Ergou and Baolin, and they came back together. But no one thought much about it, they just thought that Ergou went to the sports team to pick up Baolin, and the two came back together.

Ergou went to the brewery himself and found that production had never stopped. He smiled and said, "We have come at a good time. We don't need to advertise. There are so many people rushing to buy our beer."

Their county doesn't have any local beer, but there is a very famous beer brand in the provincial capital.

However, the freight from the provincial capital is much more expensive. In addition, state-owned enterprises will limit production. Therefore, the beer market in the county is not large. Once Li Jianguo's brewery was built, it immediately opened up the local market that had been blank for a long time.

When they returned home and ate the dumplings together, Li Jianguo was very excited. He hugged Ergou's shoulders tightly and thanked him for fulfilling his dream of becoming a factory director.

Ergou found it a little funny. To him, building a factory was just for making money. He didn't expect that the factory was so important to his godfather.

Zhuzhu was very curious, "Second brother, my mother said you are going to Henan to build a factory?"

Ergou nodded, "Yes! I plan to implement it next year. I have already investigated there. The policy is also very good."

Zhang Xiuhua had heard him talk about this on the phone before, but she didn't say much. Now that he was back home, Zhang Xiuhua had no more concerns. "I think we should wait a little longer before building a branch factory."

Everyone was preparing to listen to Ergou sharing his business tips, but when they heard this, they all looked up at her.

Ergou was also confused. Although his godmother had shares in both the instant noodle factory and the brewery, she usually did not interfere with his investment. But now she asked him to wait. What was her reason?

Zhang Xiuhua told them that she had gone to Moscow and found them marching in a demonstration.

Even though their county borders Damao, there is no trade between them now, so they can't hear any news from over there.

Zhuzhu spoke frankly, "What does it have to do with the trouble over there, Brother Guan's investment?"

Others' thoughts were similar to Zhuzhu's. They were completely unrelated.

If it was in her previous life, Zhang Xiuhua would not have thought that there would be any connection. But in the year when the Soviet Union collapsed, the domestic investment environment had a big problem. Many foreign investors withdrew their shares. Western media predicted that China would be the next to collapse.

No businessman likes to invest in building a factory in a war-torn country. If a missile hits the factory, all the money would be lost!
