Chapter 1222: Arranging to get things done

As soon as Ye Yaodong arrived in the city, he and the Fatty went to do their own things.

The containers had already been delivered to the factory a few days ago. As soon as he arrived, he went to inspect them to confirm the quantity.

Wang Jianxin also followed behind him, reporting the order situation and the subsequent delivery date, and also asked when this factory could start production?

Wang Guangliang also followed Ye Yaodong with a tiger-like gaze, constantly sizing up this person who didn't know where he popped out from.

Although they shared the same surname, they definitely weren't the same family 500 years ago. In doing things, there had to be a first-come, first-served basis; he definitely couldn't be compared to this local.

"Dong Ge, are we going to receive the goods next and put them here for fermentation? I see that the ones at home are indeed almost out of things to hold, these big barrels and big vats arrived quite in time."

"If it's confirmed that they are all to be pulled over, I will directly bring people to stay here. The brothers definitely have no opinion, working anywhere, anyway, it's all for you."

Only with a sense of crisis could there be progress. Ye Yaodong was very satisfied that he took the initiative to bring it up.

"It's necessary, these were all reserved before the New Year, and now a batch has been delivered, so they must be utilized and put into production immediately."

"In this way, you go back and tell the others, those who are willing to stay in the city with you to receive goods, stay tomorrow, those who don't want to, can also stay at home to work."

"Anyway, it's not mandatory. I also recruited two aunts and two uncles. They will move over in these two days, and they will be responsible for watching the field and the fermentation work."

"As for the salary, it just increased by 5 yuan after the New Year. Now for those staying in the city, there will be no additional salary increase. Anyway, the salary for you receiving goods outside is higher than others at home."

"But the rest time can be increased by 2 days, which is convenient for you to go home and see. Look at you, you are all at the age to marry a wife. Originally, you were given 4 days off a month, now you are given 6 days of rotation a month. You arrange the time, you adjust it yourself."

"Oh right, by the way, meals are provided. Meals are provided for those who stay in the city to work, which is considered an extra favor."

Moreover, if these people are placed in the city to receive goods, they don't have to go back and forth home. By then, they can receive more goods at night. The deep-water ports in the city are basically the busiest at night, with the most fishing boats docking.

By then, the daily harvest will increase, and the output after half a year will be amazing.

Anyway, there are 13 mu of land here, so there is no fear of having no place to store them.

Wang Guangliang's eyes lit up. Providing meals could save a lot of money. They now bring their dinner before going out every day to receive goods, and basically return home at night.

Two more days of rest didn't matter, but providing meals was much better than giving them a few more yuan in salary. Coming to work in the city could also save food for their families.

Moreover, when resting, they could go out for a stroll and bring some things from the city back to their families, which was even more glorious.

He patted his chest and said happily, "Okay, I'll tell them when I go back, they will definitely be very willing to stay in the city to work."

"Hmm, I'll go to the machinery factory later to see if there's a ready-made tractor with a bucket to buy, 12 horsepower is enough, so it's convenient for you to pull goods back and forth from the wharf."

The tractor for the family still has to be used at home. It's necessary to pull goods from the wharf to the workshop every few days, and the transportation of dried fish back and forth is also very necessary.

Anyway, the costs paid now are all the profits from before, and they can be earned back in the future.

His family foundation now is all tossed about like this, tossed out.

Ye Yaodong decided on the matter of starting production in a few words, and the workers were all arranged properly.

Wang Jianxin was anxious. Their work was assigned, and the factory was about to start production, so what about him?

"Dong Ge, then what about me? In the factory..."

"You have other work. You are familiar with the city. Later, you go and inquire about where there is a sea salt factory. Fish sauce fermentation needs a large batch of salt. After inquiring, come back and tell me, I'll go and take a look. I'll be in the city tomorrow."

As long as there was work to be assigned, Wang Jianxin patted his chest and guaranteed.

"This is on me. Originally, I was a popsicle seller, walking the streets and alleys, I'm familiar with everywhere in the city. I'll go and inquire now."

"By the way, inquire if there are any iron beds. The dormitory building also needs to get some beds back, can't sleep on the floor every day."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong thought of some other fragmented chores for him to run, and he went to find Lin Fu.

The expenses for receiving miscellaneous goods by then must be paid from the shop, so he had to tell Lin Fu to keep separate accounts.

He pondered that after a period of time, when the fishing boats at the wharf became familiar with the people receiving goods from their family, he would hire someone specifically to keep accounts.

Those receiving goods at the wharf would only be responsible for opening orders and delivering goods. After opening the orders, let those fish bosses pull the goods to the market to sell, and by the way, take the orders to the shop to settle the accounts, so there was no need for Wang Guangliang and the others to advance money.

Moreover, there was a statistical accountant specifically for the shop in the city, so there was no need to rely on Lin Fu for everything, which was too difficult for the old man.

Sure enough, starting a business is difficult, and every framework has to start from scratch.

After Ye Yaodong came out of the factory, he basically arranged everything.

After coming out, he rushed to the machinery factory to order a tractor. Now the policy of buying and selling tractors was already very loose.

He paid a deposit, agreed on how big the bucket to configure, and said he would come to drive it in two days, easily getting it done.

After returning, he ran around with Wang Jianxin again.

The Fatty was also running everywhere. Fortunately, Wang Jianxin had taken him around once a while ago, and now he just had to go by himself.

The two of them were busy from morning to night, and then busy for another day the next day, before they could bring the general matters to a temporary end and go back first.

After three days, when Ye Yaodong came to the city to drive the tractor, he also visited Chen Juzhang by the way, and also let his godmother Jin Yuzhi distribute some local specialties he brought back to the surrounding cadres.

Anyway, they were all produced by his own family, not anything valuable, just showing a bit of heart.

By then, when the factory started production, if possible, he would also have to find a way to get a production license.

Then, after half a year when filtration was needed, it would definitely need manpower again. By then, he would directly recruit some women in the nearby village to work. Now, not many people were needed yet.

But he still had to go to the village committee here to say hello in advance, lest the villagers in this village see such a big factory and be jealous of people coming in and out.

Ye Yaodong kept running back and forth, arranging the factory matter in the city, and even the work of going out to sea was temporarily handed over to others on the boat to be responsible for first.

Naturally, the money from selling goods was definitely handed over to his father to collect first, and then given to him when he returned.

It was also fortunate that his father was there, and there were his brothers on other boats. The boat workers on the boats had also been working with him for more than a year and were very familiar with each other.

All four fishing boats went in and out together, discussed things, and there would be no problems.

After he finished his work, the fishing boats also returned safely to the shore. It just happened that he was in the city, so he directly took over the goods sold, and let everyone else rest first.

Without him on this trip, the fishing boats still operated as usual, and there would be no problems without him in the future.

It was impossible for him to keep fishing on a fishing boat for the rest of his life. Some work that should be handed over must be handed over, and there was no need for him to work hard and take risks.

Other places might need him more, such as this production matter of arranging the factory in the city.

In these ten days, all the personnel had been arranged properly, and all the things that should be purchased had been purchased. It could already receive goods and ferment normally.

After Ye Yaodong finished his work in the city, he rushed to drive the boat to Wenshi to purchase goods.

The lighter factory in Wenshi had also changed greatly. The venue had been built after the New Year, and a big sign of Dongfu Lighter Factory was hung brazenly at the entrance.

When he went, he just happened to catch a truck pulling accessories inside.

The space in the factory inside was exceptionally large, and the personnel had expanded to more than 200 people.

Hearing Fang Jingfu say that all the profits from the past six months had been invested, even the electricity had been fully upgraded, many generators had been prepared, and telephone lines had been pulled separately, with several telephones equipped in the factory.

There was also a design department, and the scale was quite impressive. He almost couldn't recognize it.

And his home had also been cleared out and restored to its original state. Now only the twins lived there, watching the house.

According to Fang Jingfu, by the end of this year, the number of lighter workshops in their city had developed to more than 50, which was exceptionally rapid, after all, it didn't require much technical content.

So they had to expand, and they had to have many new tricks to occupy more markets. He was also willing to spend money, anyway, it was all earned.

Ye Yaodong felt it made a lot of sense, and he hadn't managed anything anyway.

Knowing that their family's production occupied most of the market, he was very satisfied. After all, Fang Jingfu was also the earliest to do it.

Then, according to Fang Jingfu, last year, overseas Chinese from his own family contacted him to test a batch of lighters, and after the New Year, there were two or three more, and now there were traces of stable output.

It wouldn't be long before they could start making big profits.

Ye Yaodong also thought so. The changes in the factory over the past six months were obvious to all. At a glance, it was clear that a lot of money had been spent, and the money earned had been invested. He also believed it.

Moreover, now that the scale had been set up, it was definitely indispensable to have connections, and there must be professional financial management to keep accounts.

He was exceptionally satisfied with the current appearance. If he had done it himself, he definitely wouldn't have been as capable as Fang Jingfu.

Since he was already there, Ye Yaodong also specially visited Zeng Weimin to brush up on his presence, and by the way, talked about his current situation.

He didn't ask to be as familiar as Chen Juzhang, but at least don't forget him. He didn't know how many years he would serve in the local area, but if he was there, he would definitely visit him when he came.

After Ye Yaodong returned home from Wenshi, he pulled a boat of goods to the city, and at the same time, let Lin Fu start putting the bagged fish sauce he had accumulated over the past two or three months on the market.

This batch had also accumulated more than a hundred tons. Everything that could be filtered at home had been packaged. Now it was still working non-stop, but the daily output was limited, and it would take three months before it could be produced in large quantities again.

He had been busy for more than 20 days without stopping during this period, and it was already mid-second lunar month, late March in the Gregorian calendar. He was really busy without his feet touching the ground.

During this period, he also ordered people to send the bagged fish sauce in stock to the factory warehouse in the city, one truckload every day.

The traffic in the city was much better than theirs. Although the roads were not good, they were accessible in all directions, and it was convenient to ship goods, and the place was big enough.

Accumulating slowly over the past few months, there was no place to store them. A part could only be piled up in the open space of the workshop, then covered with straw, and then covered with another layer of nylon cloth.

When he finished his work, these goods had all been pulled to the city for storage.

When he sent lighters to the city, he also took a look by the way, and it was piled full of a whole big warehouse.

And during this period, the fermentation volume of fish sauce was also exceptionally gratifying. Every day, the tractor had to pull several trucks, attracting a large group of villagers nearby.

But as soon as people saw that they were some useless small fish, most of them shook their heads, thinking they were something valuable, and even if they were given to them, they didn't want them.

One by one, they had different opinions, saying it was a waste of money to buy such a big piece of land, and as a result, they only piled up these useless small miscellaneous fish, which was a waste of natural resources.

Ye Yaodong just smiled when he heard it.

Sometimes the more inconspicuous things are, the more unimaginable the benefits obtained are. Although these things have a longer cycle, they can be considered a stable output.

This kind of thing, the longer it takes, the more popular it is.

It's much better than lighters, which can only make a quick buck. Lighters won't last a few years, and most factories will have to close down.

During the time he was busy, the Fatty's restaurant also opened. He hired his brothers to work, and also distributed a certain profit.

After he finished his work in the factory, he specially went to patronize it, ate a warm free meal, and was sent out by them.

It made him feel a bit embarrassed.

He walked while picking his teeth with a toothpick, and said to the boat worker beside him, "Free things are fragrant, let's come again next time."

"Hahaha, that still requires your face. If we come to eat a free meal, we should have been beaten out."

Ye Yaodong touched his face and felt it made sense.

"Relying on this face of mine, now I don't need money to eat breakfast, don't need money to eat lunch and dinner, don't need money to take a car... think about it, it seems quite cool..."

"Haha, yes, yes, your brother-in-law opened a breakfast shop, your childhood friend opened a restaurant, your second brother-in-law drives a tractor, it really doesn't need money."

"Next time, I have to incite others to do something else, so I'll have hope in this life. Go home, go home, I'm exhausted."
