Since the sand quarry has just started production, there is a lot of sand accumulated on the river beach, so the cost of mining is now very low.
At present, there is only one business in the sand quarry: that is to go all out to supply construction sand for Hongxing Township [Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Factory].
This single business alone is probably enough to keep the sand quarry occupied for two months.
The agricultural machinery factory purchases a large amount and pays a sufficient price, which makes all the people working in the sand quarry very excited!
Because everyone knows: Luo Xuan is not a money-grubbing person.
If this trend continues, by the end of the year, everyone's dividends should be quite considerable!
From the time when this sand quarry was established, no one cared about it and no one wanted to work. Now, people are queuing up and privately trying to get connections to get a share of the pie.
But Luo Xuan is very strange in recruiting people: he only recruits people who come from bad backgrounds and can never hold their heads high in their respective production teams.
Moreover, the more grumpy and disobedient a person is, the more Luo Xuan will give priority to him.
Everyone is saying that the sand mining factory of Zhengxing Brigade has almost become a black grain concentration camp: black sesame seeds, black rice, black beans, black fungus, black dates...
Hei Nasha for short, are all Luo Xuan's priorities.
[As long as you get the idea.]
The sand quarry is not far away, right by the river beach at the end of the production team's rice field.
When Luo Xuan arrived at the sand quarry, Dai Hongmei saw Luo Xuan first, dropped the basket on his shoulder and came up to him, "Luo Xuan... Hey, this is the bicycle equipped for us in the sand quarry, right?"
So beautiful!
Great, now that we have bicycles, we can go out for a walk and see where houses are being built, and maybe we can get some business!
Luo Xuan, the sun is so bright, if you don’t rest in the room, what are you doing here?"
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "Let me see if you are lazy."
Dai Hongmei also laughed, "We are all the kind of people that others hate. We finally got this job, but no one has time to cherish it, so how can we be lazy?"
Luo Xuan asked in a low voice, "Are Li Shuhuai and Gong Zhengang playing tricks here?"
Dai Hongmei shook her head, "Those two people are a little bit reluctant to obey the discipline, and they are a little bit awkward, but that's true. It's just that we give them a pound of food a day, and they are very happy in their hearts, but they don't dare to be arrogant."
The two people Luo Xuan mentioned just now are also the second generation of Zai with bad composition.
It's just that they were born before liberation, when the world was in chaos.
These two people practiced martial arts since childhood, and were suppressed for many years.
So much so that these two guys always have a sense of resentment in their hearts. They are dissatisfied with everyone and dislike everything they see...
Luo Xuan looked at the two people sweating like rain in the distance and desperately picking up sand, and thought to himself: It's good to be unruly!
I have to find an opportunity some other time to deal with them and tame them completely. The wolf can also turn into a dog...
Dai Hongmei circled the bicycle, hesitantly wanting to reach out and touch it, but she didn't dare.
This is a brand new bike, and it’s still shiny and smooth!
Too expensive!
Dai Hongmei was afraid of touching it.
Luo Xuan asked her with a smile, "Sister Hongmei, how are you? Do you like this bike?"
Dai Hongmei nodded, her eyes filled with love.
Luo Xuan said, "You will be the salesman of the sand quarry from now on. This bicycle will be mainly used by you from now on. How about it?"
Originally, Luo Xuan wanted to give Dai Hongmei a title like "Business Supervisor" or "Business Manager" to make it look more senior.
It's a pity that during this period, there was no open private economy or private enterprises, so there was no such thing as a business manager.
In public institutions, there are levels.
Usually they are the business section chiefs, and the most junior ones are called salesmen.
Dai Hongmei blushed, "I am a woman, how can I manage business?"
"Sister Hongmei, what are you talking about? Women can hold up half the sky, why can't you be in charge of business?"
Luo Xuan said, "This is not a difficult job. It's just a matter of visiting the surrounding production teams to see who needs sand, making an estimate for them, and quoting a price."
Those units in the countryside, as long as they purchase our sand, they will use a large amount. When the time comes, they can just pull it over and settle the bill back.
What are you afraid of?
If we encounter something that can't be solved, won't we still have the old party secretary, Captain Liao and the others?
In the brigade headquarters, we can’t just pay dividends and ignore everything, right?”
Nowadays, in public institutions, there is no bad habit of defaulting on debts and defaulting on payment.
Such as supply and marketing cooperatives, grain stations, livestock stations, agricultural machinery stations, and later broadcast stations.
The people in charge of these units do not have a bad style of taking advantage of others.
Therefore, it is very easy for sand quarries to go to those units to settle accounts, and it will not be as troublesome as settling accounts in later generations.
Dai Hongmei put her hand on the bicycle faucet. After pondering for a moment, she nodded heavily, "Okay! Since you think so highly of me, Sister Hongmei, then I will take on this responsibility! What are you afraid of? Can they still eat people?"
But, I still have to learn to ride a bicycle first.
Once I learn how to do it, I will go out every day and I will not stop until I have traveled all over the surrounding countryside."
"It's not easy to buy a bicycle, isn't it?"
Dai Hongmei touched the handlebars, pressed the bell, raised her head and asked Luo Xuan, "When buying a bicycle, do I have to go to the township office to get the quotation and get the approval document?"
Luo Xuan shook his head, "No, they are on sale in the county supply and marketing cooperative's department store! Anyone can buy it. It's just a bit expensive, and few people can afford it."
this period,
The industrial voucher policy has not yet been implemented, so Ji Xuyuan bought two bicycles. As long as he had money, he did not need a ticket.
In a few years, it will be really difficult to buy a bicycle.
Because according to the industrial coupon rationing system, corresponding industrial coupons are allotted based on the employee's salary.
For example, an employee with a monthly salary of 21.5 yuan will be issued an industrial coupon.
If you can get a monthly salary of 43 yuan, you can get two industrial coupons, and so on.
But the members of the production team basically cannot get this thing.
In a few years, after the "industrial coupon rationing system" is implemented, it will be very difficult for rural people to buy even an enamel basin or a hot kettle.
Now that Dai Hongmei has agreed, she will be responsible for running the business.
From now on, I basically don’t have to worry about this aspect.
The most important thing is to keep her in check, give her some ideas, and play a role.
This way, I will feel much more relaxed.
Luo Xuan was about to say hello to Yi Yang, Xiong Da Xiong Er and the others.
Suddenly remembering something, Luo Xuan asked Dai Hongmei: "Sister Hongmei, I heard that your mother is planning to give you the agency store as your dowry?"
As soon as I heard about the consignment store.
Dai Hongmei's face darkened, and her tone became cold, "Yes, why do you ask this?"
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "Sister Hongmei, don't be angry. If you put yourself in my mother's shoes, think about it from my mother's point of view.
As parents, they must still have grudges about the choice you made.
But now, Aunt Dai is willing to give you the agency store, I think you should accept her kindness."
Dai Hongmei chose to marry Yi Yang, whose reputation was already bad, and Aunt Dai would definitely be unhappy.
But after all, she was never jealous of Dai Hongmei.
So now between Dai Hongmei and Yi Yang, the raw rice has been cooked.
With the deal done, Aunt Dai felt helpless and felt that her daughter's life would be too difficult in the future.
That’s why I decided to give my family’s agency store to Dai Hongmei.
In name, it is used as a dowry, but in fact it is a secret subsidy for his daughter, so that Dai Hongmei can have more money.
Hearing that Luo Xuan actually advised herself that she should accept the agency store given by her mother's family, Dai Hongmei couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "What happened to you today? Luo Xuan, that agency store, let me tell you the truth, the agency store looks...
It's full of scenery and I feel like I can make some money.
But this is only relative to those members.
Having a consignment store does provide you with an extra income, and you can live longer with the money you have on hand.
But to you, what does this little money mean?
The profit of a consignment store in a month is actually only a dozen yuan. When it is better, it is 30 yuan. However, that has to be during the Chinese New Year.
Moreover, the main reason is that credit is very bad. The members of the production team are so poor that they have to pay 5 cents for salt and 20 cents for kerosene on credit, which is very annoying!"
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "Sister Hongmei, you have to accept your mother's kindness. If you don't want this consignment store, Aunt Dai will think that you have broken with her and you have to draw a clear line with her.
How bad is that?
Moreover, whether the consignment store will make money or lose money in the future, it will all be considered mine!
I'll pay you a salary of 15 yuan a month, you just need to put your name on it and don't have to worry about profit or loss."
Dai Hongmei's eyes widened and she asked with a puzzled face, "Excluding my salary, how can you still make money?! Besides, I will also be in charge of the sand quarry business in the future, so how can I spend so much time in the agency store?
in?"
Luo Xuan shook his head, "You only need to put a name on the agency store so that everyone knows it is your agency store.
As for the usual care of the store, I'll leave it to Aunt Zhang.
At that time, I will just pay her a salary of 12 yuan a month."
Dai Hongmei still wanted to ask, but when she saw the calm look on Luo Xuan's face, she knew that Luo Xuan might have thought deeply before acting like this.
Still puzzled, Dai Hongmei nodded, agreeing to the matter.
After all, Dai Hongmei and Yi Yang are both working in the sand quarry to make money to support their families, and Dai Hongmei doesn't want to offend Luo Xuan.
Since Luo Xuan has said that the future profit and loss of the agency store will be his, Dai Hongmei has nothing to complain about.
Anyway, Dai Hongmei believed that Luo Xuan would never mention this matter for no reason. But now Dai Hongmei couldn't figure out Luo Xuan's intention.
In addition, Dai Hongmei really doesn't want to completely break up with Aunt Dai.
Dai Hongmei knew that her mother was crying all day long at home, and there was no trace of smile on her face...
Moreover, Dai Hongmei also heard that his mother would hang out on the back eaves of Yiyang's house late every night. According to Uncle Ding, when he met Dai Hongmei's mother several times, she always looked lost and haggard...
It's just that whenever Dai Hongmei chases her out, he never meets her.
In fact, the agency store should really be run by Dai Hongmei.
Dai Hongmei's father works as a small leader at a grain station and gets a fixed monthly salary.
Moreover, Brother Dai Hongmei has already been promoted to the army and is still sending money home every month.
Therefore, even if Dai Hongmei takes over the consignment store, it will have little impact on Aunt Dai's living standard.
When Luo Xuan saw that Dai Hongmei agreed to the matter, he thanked Dai Hongmei.
Then he went to say hello to Yi Yang, Xiong Daxiong Er, Li Shuhuai, and Gong Zhengang.
"Brother Yiyang, go learn how to drive a tractor."
Luo Xuan said, "There are still a few people who want to work in the sand quarry now. The agricultural machinery station construction site will start soon. Someone needs to drive the sand over there."
Yi Yang put down the burden on his shoulders and asked with surprise, "With my status, can I be a tractor driver?"
Luo Xuan glared at him, "What is your identity? You're just a poor peasant, why can't you be a tractor driver?"
During this period, even the top eight members of the production team had particularly high requirements for their background.
The tractor driver was not among the eight members.
But when the tractor driver goes out, he is respected by everyone even more than the production team leader!
Everyone is proud to know the tractor driver and driver.
If you are lucky enough to sit next to a tractor driver or in the cab of a large truck, it will be doubly honorable.
Yi Yang feels inferior to himself and bears the unwarranted bad reputation.
But when he saw Luo Xuan deliberately not mentioning this issue, after thinking about it, Yi Yang agreed.
