Qiao Jinling knows that running a brick factory is definitely a profitable business. Nowadays, everyone has spare money in their hands. After meeting the basic needs of food and drink, they have new requirements for where to live. Many people are renovating their houses, so there is a need for brick factories.
The demand is very high.
In addition, there are schools, shopping malls, and urban construction. Every city is in full swing with large-scale construction projects. Even for such a bustling business, Hu Suiqiang cannot recruit people.
"Oh! Actually, it's understandable. Who doesn't want to be more stable? In the first few years, the policies changed day by day, and everyone was afraid. Now that it's finally settled, of course they want to be more secure."
Qiao Xiangqian himself is a conservative person, so he can understand the choices of these people.
"Yeah! But it's hard for us people. Seeing that no one is filling the orders, we can't make any money. Brother, let me tell you, if there is no one to work for another half month, my brick factory will be destroyed.
If the brick factory goes bankrupt, I have invested all the money I have spent in the past few years. If the brick factory loses money, I will really want to die."
Hu Suiqiang said this, but there was nothing he could do about it. Even the idle labor force in the village did not want to go to his small brick factory, saying "it is open today, it will be closed tomorrow, and you will have to beg for food the day after tomorrow."
"Don't be so discouraged, Lao Hu. Aren't we trying to find a way? There will be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and it will be straight for the boat to the bridge. We will definitely find a way to go."
Qiao Qianqian comforted Hu Suiqiang. In fact, he didn't know what he was doing, but his daughter just said she had an idea, but she didn't know what a good solution would be.
He was thinking in his heart, glanced at Qiao Jinling, and found that Qiao Jinling was talking to Lin Xiaoxu.
"Oh, Lingling, why are the melon seeds in your head so useful? I believe that if you do this, someone will definitely come."
Lin Xiaoxu couldn't hide the excitement in his words.
"What are you discussing?"
Qiao Qianqian couldn't help but ask, and even Hu Suiqiang on the side tilted his head to look.
"I won't tell you. We'll show it to you after we finish writing it."
Qiao Jinling took everything away so that Qiao Qianqian could not see it.
"Okay, okay, we don't want to see how big of a deal it is and still keep it so mysterious."
Qiao smiled forward, didn't ask any more questions, and turned to chat with Hu Suiqiang.
After a while, Qiao Jinling held a large piece of paper folded in half and brought it over.
"Dang! Look, sister Xiaoxu and I did this together."
"No, it was all Lingling's idea. I just helped write the big characters. I can't think of such a good idea in my head."
Lin Xiaoxu tugged on her big braids, pursed her lips and smiled.
"Girl, you have come up with some new ideas. Come and show them to us. Uncle Hu is almost dying of anxiety."
Hu Suiqiang has a short temper and cannot hide anything.
"Look. This is my new idea."
Qiao Jinling shook the big paper away, and there was a bunch of black calligraphy written on the big red paper.
"Job recruitment notice. Hey, it doesn't have any clever tips. It's just a job recruitment notice."
Hu Suiqiang curled his lips as soon as he read the title.
"Uncle Hu, don't worry, just keep reading."
Qiao Jinling wasn't upset either.
"Anqing City Leather Shoe Factory is recruiting apprentices, who will be trained by a master, and the salary is 50 yuan a month."
Hu Suiqiang did not continue to show disdain.
——Your father couldn’t recruit a female worker even if he paid 70 yuan. How could you recruit one in a month? She is still just a playful girl.
Qiao Jinling also saw what Hu Suiqiang was thinking, and then read loudly: "The salary is 50 yuan a month! The salary is paid every day! Food and accommodation are included!"
"Birthday allowance is 1 yuan, plus a pack of fruit snacks; Mid-Autumn Festival benefit is 1 yuan; and a pack of moon cakes is given; New Year benefit is 2 yuan, and a woolen sweater is given; children's kindergarten is given a monthly subsidy of 2 yuan, and candies are given on birthdays.
One box; receive a pair of men’s leather shoes for free every year.”
Qiao Jinling's words attracted the attention of people around him.
They discussed one after another:
"Salary is paid every day, is it true? Do you get paid for one day's work? Then you don't have to worry about not being paid. It's really good."
"Yes, and I give you so many things during the holidays. Woolen sweaters, I haven't worn woolen sweaters yet. I heard they are softer than your face. How does it feel when you wear them?"
"I even have children. The subsidy is 2 yuan a month. It's so generous. How about 4 yuan for the two children?"
"My man just wants a new pair of leather shoes. In fact, it's state-owned and private. Whoever pays more can do it, let alone one day. Where can I find such a good thing!"
…
Qiao Xiangqian didn't expect that so many people would gather around him, and he didn't know what to say. On the contrary, Lin Xiaoxu had already discussed it with Qiao Jinling.
She stood on the bench and shouted loudly: "Dear sisters, you have also seen that our Anqing Leather Shoe Factory is an old factory with strong strength and the conditions offered are very generous, but..."
"But what?"
People around asked all kinds of questions.
"However, we are limited to 15 people, and we don't want any more, so everyone signs up first. We need to conduct interviews and select the best."
Lin Xiaoxu's words suddenly exploded, like water dripping into a hot oil pan.
"I want to sign up, little girl!"
"Give me one too!"
"If you sign up first, will you be admitted first?"
…
Qiao Qianqian couldn't care less and hurriedly registered with Lin Xiaoxu. The scene was so spectacular that the stall that had been unattended just now suddenly became the busiest place in the entire venue.
Qiao Jinling retreated behind, looking at his father's busy figure. As long as he could solve his father's problem, there would be nothing happier than this.
"My dear, Lingling, the melon seeds in your head are so useful. How did you come up with this method? Why didn't I think of it?"
Hu Suiqiang admired and envied him at the same time. Why didn't he fall in love with such a clever daughter?
"Uncle Hu, this is very simple. Our teacher told us a mathematical story, and I got the idea from the story."
Qiao Jinling deliberately kept it secret.
"What kind of story can be so effective? No wonder, children must be educated and learn education. Originally, I wanted my children not to go to school and follow me to sell bricks. Now that I think about it, they still have to go to school. If they don't go to school, they won't be able to do it."
Hu Deqiang felt that he was too short-sighted and almost cut off his child's bright future.
"Children have to go to school. No matter whether they study well or not, they have more options to choose from. Otherwise, there are only so many paths to take."
Qiao Jinling feels heartbroken when she sees some parents dropping out of school just to make money for their children. No matter when the time comes, children must study hard.
"Hmm, Lingling speaks really well, better than the big cadres on the radio. You haven't told me what the story is?"
Hu Suiqiang is still thinking about that story. What kind of story is it that makes the originally dead game of chess suddenly come alive?
