After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

193 Layoffs and Open Source

After the sixth dance, the two girls were already panting and sweating profusely.

At this time, Wen Yan had already memorized most of the lyrics and had started singing with Xiao Wei, fully demonstrating the difference between professional and amateur.

After singing it seven times, the two of them hugged each other and slowly collapsed to the floor.

"Is that guy gone?"

"Looks like he's gone."

"Fuck. I'm so tired."

"Are you satisfied?"

"Wen Yan. You are awesome."

"You're not bad either."

"But I still don't like you."

"me too."

Then, Godfather and Jiang Yingying came and stayed with Xiaowei for the whole day. Later, Haitao also came and stayed with Xiaowei for the whole night.

Soon after, dozens of people from Xi County chartered buses to visit.

People are still generally not able to get enough food, and many canteens are still facing food shortages.

In many places, large canteens have disbanded themselves and distributed food to each household.

Because Xiao Wei had instructed during the investigation that the disbanding of the cafeteria should neither be encouraged nor prohibited.

Even though she knew that all the large canteens would be closed after the new year, and knew what it meant to disband them one day earlier, she had no idea what the consequences would be if she advocated for their closure now.

This verbal order already involved great risk.

People were beaten to death before the Berlin Wall was torn down.

The chances of someone in this place raising the muzzle of their gun by one centimeter are extremely slim. Taking risks is tantamount to courting death.

County and town-level industries and various cooperatives are still largely stagnant.

Xiao Wei stayed in the hospital for ten days and returned to the farm only after the swelling subsided.

The number of security guards at the farm has been increased to 20, and the fence walls have gradually been converted into barbed wire and concrete pillars.

Xiao Wei returned to playing the erhu while leaning on the swing, and training Jiayun became a daily routine again, as if nothing had happened.

No matter what, I have experienced the feeling of being wronged to the point where life is worse than death, so it is not a wasted life.

Like the entire earth, it finally made it to the autumn harvest after being half-dead. After a round of hybridization, the rice ears showed a visibly abundant harvest, and some vegetables, fruits and melons also changed obviously, but most of the varieties were failures.

Shi Mingsong and his colleagues were very excited, believing that they could carry out hybridization many times every year and the number of seeds would increase by dozens or hundreds of times.

Xiao Wei knew that seed improvement was a long process and might not be effective even in three to five years.

In this era of passion, we wish we could achieve planetary interaction and fly out of the Milky Way in one step. Whether it is allowed to support so many people doing "useless work" is a big question.

Technological advancement is a project that requires huge investment but yields little return. It is difficult to predict whether it will be accused of wasting resources and doing nothing.

Xiao Wei felt that it was necessary to plan early and achieve self-sufficiency as soon as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment.

When Xiao Wei got into trouble, with the involvement of the provincial military region, the municipal party committee increased the wages and benefits of the breeding farm and added more than 20 people, bringing the number of people in the agricultural group to more than 90.

Even so, people still keep coming in.

During the autumn planting season, Xiao Wei suggested using a piece of land for cotton experiments next year and transplanting mulberry trees on the marginal land to prepare for silkworm breeding.

Cotton and silkworm farming can be said to be the most annoying and tiring crops. You have to be busy all day long, and you have to work late into the night during the harvest.

Everyone in the agriculture group was silent.

This was of course within Xiao Wei's expectations. "Then let's lay off some employees. With mechanized farming, we don't really need so many people. Everyone knows that for a real experiment, one team is enough. Most of the people out there are still hungry. Rather than being deemed as idlers and ordered to disband by the higher-ups, we might as well start with ourselves."

The farm manager said, "What Xiao Ji said is indeed true. Especially after autumn planting and summer harvest, there is basically nothing to do. If we don't increase revenue and cut costs, and just sit there and get paid, someone will definitely get jealous and report us, and we'll all be finished."

Someone quickly pointed out that if anyone was to be fired, it should be the newcomers, as there were those who were messing around and were dragging the team down. Even if the old employees had no merits, they had worked hard.

The random and hindering actions are obviously aimed at the agricultural school group that is unwilling to endure hardships and likes to take shortcuts.

The agricultural school group countered by saying that failure is allowed in experiments and the first failure does not mean permanent failure.

Other groups believed that the glass house group had been proven wrong, and they still wanted to persist, citing the seed bed as an example of a year's delay and the loss of millions of kilograms of grain.

Xiaowei has already lit the fire, and the rest is up to them.

Of course, after the autumn planting, Xiaowei's group would be idle. But it didn't matter, she had asked Guixiu to buy five sewing machines to continue her clothing business and accumulate funds for other things.

Anyway, we can't let people sit idle.

While the debate over whether to lay off employees or to increase revenue continues, Xiaowei's team has already started making clothes in full swing.

Xiaowei's team has many women, and they are responsible for everything from design to finished product. No matter how jealous other teams are, there is nothing they can do.

The manager had no choice but to talk to Xiao Wei: "Can you find something else for them to do? We can't just let a bunch of grown men follow the sewing machines."

Xiao Wei said awkwardly, "There is one, but I'm afraid those people are unwilling to endure hardship."

The director asked happily, "Tell me what you are doing?"

"I'm doing woodworking."

The manager smiled bitterly: "There are only two or three carpenters here, and their skills are not very good."

Xiao Wei shook his head: "If you want to do a full mechanical thing, even if you don't know anything, as long as you can read, you can learn it quickly. But the investment is relatively large."

"How many?"

"At least thirty to fifty thousand or more."

"Do you know how to do it?"

Xiao Wei certainly knew something about it. Her husband in her previous life was a lousy carpenter, and she even ran a small wood processing factory for a while.

But he said, "We can send people to other woodworking factories to learn. As for the mechanics, the physics students can handle it."

The director pondered and said, "This is a good idea. The extra people from the aquatic and livestock teams can also be used. But it's a big sum of money, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for the higher-ups to approve it. I'll give it a try first."

Xiao Wei suggested, "There is always a way to do it. We can take whatever amount is approved by the higher authorities. We don't need it all at once, so we can take it slowly. We can also raise funds and borrow money from workers, such as half a year's salary, and pay it back when we make a profit."

The director applauded: "There are more than 200 people in the venue, and the monthly salary plus various subsidies is 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. It can be implemented."

Xiao Wei said, "Let's build the factory building first, close to the wall and the roadside for easy transportation. For mechanical installation and debugging, I'll ask my classmates. Chenxia and I worked at the woodworking club in town, so we know a little bit about woodworking."

The manager nodded and smiled: "That's great. Even if there is no financial support from above, we will still do it."

Xiao Wei asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will mess it up?"

The director laughed: "You always pay for the work yourself, and you're not afraid of messing it up. Everything is public property, the most I'll get is a little punishment, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Xiao Wei nodded: "I still say the same thing. If you dare to bet on me, I won't let you lose."

The manager laughed even more happily: "I'm absolutely confident about this. So the question is, when are we going to start gambling?"

Xiao Wei pretended to look at himself and drew with his fingers: "One year. After one year, I can draw a rough sketch of the factory layout."

The manager's smile suddenly turned into a wry one: "Slow work produces fine work. Then I can start the work in two years."
