“One, two, three, four…”

When the footsteps and slogans came from afar, Li Zicheng couldn't help but take a look. The workers who had been in military training for more than ten days were different. At least they have many rules now and can't hurry up. Just like the "management regulations" he prepared for them, take it slowly.

"Zhiyuan!"

Seeing that Li Zicheng was a little distracted, Mu Xiangyue said something complainingly.

"Ah... I get it! Are you trying to ask me how I'm thinking?"

Coming back to his senses, Li Zicheng smiled at Mu Xiangyue.

"Japanese!"

Sneering, the daily-paid factories in Dalian seemed to appear before his eyes, and all the work was stopped.

"Chairman, you have to know that doing this is a bit too much!"

After saying that, Mu Xiangyue said earnestly.

"The Japanese are not Japan more than ten years ago. Now they are very rampant. As long as they don't mess with us, I think we'd better be more at ease. Besides, we don't need so many workers now. With so many workers coming, the monthly wages are hundreds of thousands!"

In Mu Xiangyue's view, the most taboo thing in doing business is to create strong enemies, especially those with privileges and a country behind them as support.

"When doing business, harmony makes money. If we really do this, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid?"

With a response, Li Zicheng's brows swept.

"What are they afraid of? To put it bluntly, in China, we will compete with the Japanese. If we can't even compete with the Japanese, we might as well find a pit to bury ourselves and do what career we have!"

"Different, I'm talking about..."

Seeing that the chairman was about to open the topic, Mu Xiangyue hurriedly took over, but who would have thought that Li Zicheng would not give him the same chance to speak.

"There are more than 11,000 workers, all of them are skilled workers. Let's dig them up at one time, let alone motorcycle factories, shipyards, and machinery factories, so there are enough workers."

"But our machine!"

"Aren't our machine on the road?"

"Have them free?"

"Look at what you said, this was a telegram from Nanjing the day before yesterday. There were 15,000 people coming from this group, plus the 6,300 people in the first two groups, which was 20,000 people. What did these people do? They all went to build railways? No, the stone crushers and road rollers were all on the road. They came, and that's what they are like now, building houses and laying foundations. Look, those thousands of people laying foundations are different. Isn't it? Yesterday, Lao Li,"

Li Zicheng couldn't stop being proud of this. There were so many people and great power. This sentence is absolutely true.

"Then, the foundation of the locomotive factory has been solid. Didn't you say yesterday that the new cement has arrived, and there are not enough bricks. Look at the wall foundation of the factory with stones. When the machines we ordered from the United States and Germany arrive, the factory will be built. At that time, the workers will stand in the inside and we will build the machine tools!"

After spitting out a sip of cigarette, Li Zicheng pointed at the outside with his fingers holding the cigarette.

"At that time, before this terminal is repaired, we can not only pave the railway to Huoqiu, but maybe we can also run the locomotives we built ourselves and the most advanced locomotives, but..."

The voice stretched slightly, and Li Zicheng turned around and stared at Mu Xiangyue and said.

"These workers can bring us more workers. We can buy some machines first and start the technical training school. Don't underestimate those workers. Among the more than 10,000 people, according to the telegram, senior technicians, yes, they are big craftsmen, at least seven or eight hundred. What is this! Baby!"

Even if one hundred years later, these hundreds of senior technicians are all treasures! What's more, in this era.

"We choose those who are literate and smart from Nanjing to these senior technicians. Shahekou Technician Development Institute is a training session for half a year. According to this rule, in a year, they can train us tens of thousands of ordinary workers. As for those ordinary workers, we can set up some factories first and place them. Well, get some training. In this way, next year, the foundation of Liuhe will be laid!"

"Can,"

Mu Xiangyue smiled bitterly.

"Oh, Chairman, no matter how good your plan is, even if they can bring us a lot of benefits in the future, we must consider some issues."

He looked out the window, listened to the slogans that were getting farther and farther away, and then turned around.

"Zhiyuan, let's put it this way, when those workers come and try to work, our company will arrange jobs for them, and these people have families to help with their families, and they also have to solve their housing problems. This is not just like those people, building a straw shed to solve the problem. Let's not talk about the more money you have to spend in a month. These technicians who bring families to work together. How to solve their houses? They are not the civilian army who don't have hunger for food alone!"

"House, um..."

Listening to these two words, Li Zicheng was really silent.

The house, looking at the three-story small red buildings that were built outside the window, the Lianyungang area was well planned, and even hired several foreign construction companies to plan for Lianyungang. But in fact, until now, this place is just a poor and poor coastal area in northern Jiangsu.

Not to mention building houses for those people, even the red bricks used for those small foreign buildings were transported from Shanghai. The German architects refused to use the soil bricks burned by nearby earth kilns. The strength was too poor. They only thought that the machine bricks were 60% and they had to buy bricks in Shanghai. At the same time, they planned to build several wheel kiln factories in Lianyungang. At least before the end of the year, Lianyungang is a gold-swalking beast that only eats but does not spit. In this case, is it possible to build dormitories for workers and build houses?

But the problem of workers' housing cannot be solved. If Lianyungang cannot give those workers the feeling of being a home, they can now raise the wages from Dalian to poach people. When the Japanese react, they will be able to poach their workers for a year.

In this era, what we lack most in China are technicians and technical workers. If they just regard this as a place to make money, sooner or later, they will leave Lianyungang. The tricks they use for the Japanese today may fall on themselves tomorrow, tomorrow.

When I was in the company in the past, what did I dream of? I was to buy a house, have my own nest, and have a house and a tiles. In China a hundred years later, it was an unattainable dream for many people, and how many people became house slaves because of that tiles.

House slave!

This word only made Li Zicheng feel moved, yes, that's right, it's a house slave.

House slave!

Li Zicheng's eyes lit up when he was chanting this word in his heart.

"Ouchu, I came up with a solution!"

Then Li Zicheng expressed his thoughts.

"We give those workers, not only the workers we summoned from Dalian, but also the severed civilian army recruited in Nanjing, each with one home. We want them to settle their home here, that is... give each person a home!"

"What?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, Mu Xiangyue could hardly believe her ears, giving everyone a home, making a joke.

"It's just to build a house for them each! They will naturally feel at ease when they set up their home here. The salary is high, the living is good, the food is good, and there is nothing else to be dissatisfied with! Especially those people, those people may cause some trouble, but we want them to see hope!"

"hope?"

"That's right, it's hope. We want them to see the hope of a good life. At the beginning, the house is only given to those senior technicians, and then choose some excellent ones for them. In the end, everyone will have their own house. This is hope. Who doesn't want to live a hot stove with his wife and children? Once they see hope, they will work hard. Once they have a home, their minds will naturally settle down and naturally they will not be in trouble."

At this moment, Li Zicheng admired himself. When facing a difficult problem, he used a simple method to resolve several problems.

"Of course, the house is not for nothing. Let's calculate the cost of the house first, and then ask them to pay in installments. Well, pay a down payment first, and then pay the rent. In a few years or more, he can own the house. At that time, he will naturally not want to leave, and you have seen it..."

He pointed his hand out the window and saw some small vendors in the distance. Those small vendors came here because of workers gathering here.

"We must pull out the city's shelves as soon as possible, even if it is a temporary simple building. Within three months, there will only be more and more workers here. When there are more people, we need shops and business opportunities are unlimited. If the company builds temporary buildings, it will rent them to those vendors. This way, we can collect a rent that is not a bad person and alleviate the financial pressure of the company."

Feeling a little thirsty, Li Zicheng picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Can,"

Mu Xiangyue, who finally had the opportunity to refute, quickly expressed her opinions.

"We now need to enter Shanghai to build office buildings and factory bricks. Let's not talk about how much it costs to build a house for them and how much it will take. Just how to solve the problem of building materials? Have you ever thought about Zhiyuan?"

Compared to building houses for workers, Mu Xiangyue is more willing to use financial and material resources to build a factory, which is the right way, and what Li Zicheng said is at most just a temporary imagination.

"Liuhe, in the future, I want everyone to look up at Liuhe, not only because of its industry, but more because..."

After a long silence, Li Zicheng smiled.

"Salute to Liuhe, he taught this country to dream!"
