Chapter 1352: You Have to Earn This Money Back Yourselves

Just two days later, the Matou Town government paid the money for buying the quarry to Shen Dayou. At the same time as paying the money, they notified all the workers of the Baiyun Mountain Quarry, from production manager Lu Sancheng downwards, to come to the town government. In addition, they asked Fan Xiaodong to come to the town government as well.

When paying Shen Dayou, Ma Sheng paid Lu Sancheng and the workers their wages for more than three months on the spot, item by item, and had them sign the payroll. The workers all thanked Su Xinghui and Ma Sheng profusely.

Subsequently, Ma Sheng gave one thousand yuan to each of the workers who had worked in the quarry for a long time and had been found to have some problems with their lungs during the physical examination a while ago, as money for them to recuperate. This money was insignificant, but for the workers, it was already an unexpected joy.

They never expected that they could still get such a sum of money for this matter. Yin Hualong's third uncle and several other workers bowed deeply to Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui hurriedly helped them up one by one and said to them, "Everyone, don't do this. This money is what you deserve."

Subsequently, Su Xinghui asked everyone to sit down and said to Shen Dayou, "Boss Shen, are the procedures between us clear now?"

Shen Dayou nodded sheepishly. Su Xinghui said, "Then I won't keep you. Now, we in the town need to discuss the matter of the quarry resuming production."

Shen Dayou left with a sheepish smile. Su Xinghui then said to Lu Sancheng, "Manager Lu, are you still willing to work in the quarry?"

Lu Sancheng was originally anxious. He didn't know if he could still work in the quarry after Shen Dayou sold it to the town government. Now, suddenly hearing Su Xinghui's words, he was both surprised and happy, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Willing, willing!"

Su Xinghui said, "However, I also want to ask, are you clear about the processes of medium-deep hole blasting and bench mining?"

Lu Sancheng nodded and said, "Clear. When the quarry still belonged to the Highway Section, I worked in it. It used medium-deep hole blasting and bench mining."

State-owned enterprises, no matter what, have one advantage: they don't cut corners on operating procedures. In this regard, they don't care about costs.

Su Xinghui said, "That's good. Then you will continue to be your production manager."

Lu Sancheng nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I will definitely try my best to manage the production of this quarry well."

Su Xinghui said, "You don't need to try your best. I want you to do a good job in safe production and labor protection, and absolutely no safety accidents are allowed."

Lu Sancheng said, "I will definitely do it."

Su Xinghui asked the other workers again: "Are you still willing to work in the quarry?"

The workers all nodded and said, "Willing."

Although the working environment in the quarry is poor and the work is heavy and a hard job, there is one advantage: the wages are high, higher than the wages of some staff in the town government. These workers already felt very lucky to be able to continue working in the quarry.

Su Xinghui said, "That's good. Then welcome everyone to continue working in the quarry."

Subsequently, Su Xinghui said to Fan Xiaodong, "Director Fan, if you were asked to concurrently serve as the manager of this quarry, could you handle it?"

Fan Xiaodong was taken aback. Let him concurrently serve as the manager of the quarry? He really hadn't thought about it. He asked back, "Let me concurrently serve as the manager of the quarry?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes. When you are this manager, all affairs except production will be managed by you, including relationship coordination, handling procedures, data management, and product sales. These are all your work. Do you feel you have the confidence to handle it?"

A sense of being understood surged in Fan Xiaodong's heart. He nodded solemnly and said, "I have the confidence to handle it."

Su Xinghui said, "That's good. Then you are now the manager of the Baiyun Mountain Quarry. Your first task is to install a new production line together with Manager Lu, to increase the annual output to over three hundred thousand tons, and at the same time, handle the relevant procedures well, and also install a set of dust-absorbing equipment and humidifying and dust-reducing equipment."

Fan Xiaodong and Lu Sancheng looked at each other and nodded together: "Okay!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "However, the town doesn't have money for you now. You have to earn this money back yourselves."

Both of them opened their mouths wide. The town doesn't give money, so what should they do? Installing a new production line and installing dust-absorbing equipment won't be done for less than a few hundred thousand. Where can they get the money?

Looking at their surprised expressions, Su Xinghui smiled and said, "But I can introduce you to the factory director of the Shangjun County Machinery Factory. You can order equipment from them, and the payment can be owed first and paid off in installments within a year. I have already called him in advance, and he should be sending technicians and salespeople over in a day or two."

Hearing Su Xinghui's words, Fan Xiaodong and Lu Sancheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief. That's more like it.

Su Xinghui said seriously again, "You must attach importance to the labor protection of the workers. Labor protection supplies such as dust masks must be fully equipped, and you must ensure that the workers use them. The food should also be better. The workers are engaged in heavy physical labor, so they can't do it without eating better. Physical health is a lifelong matter."

Fan Xiaodong nodded solemnly: "I know, Secretary."

The next day, to Su Xinghui's surprise, Yin Zuogang actually came to Matou Town in person, and with him came a technician and a salesperson.

Su Xinghui received Yin Zuogang in his office with both surprise and joy. He asked, "Brother Yin, why did you come yourself?"

Yin Zuogang said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Since you called me this time to order equipment, I thought I'd take this opportunity to come and see you."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "This is a small business for us, and it's on credit."

Now, for the Shangjun County Machinery Factory, a business of hundreds of thousands is indeed a small business.

Yin Zuogang said, "It doesn't matter. Who are we to each other? Didn't you also give us a hand back then? Otherwise, our machinery factory wouldn't have today. Now it's only right for us to help you."

Su Xinghui said, "Then thank you very much, Brother Yin."

Yin Zuogang said, "Don't be so formal with me."

Su Xinghui then accompanied Yin Zuogang and the others to the Baiyun Mountain Quarry with Yin Hualong to inspect the situation on-site. ===== CHAPTER 1354 =====
