Xu Damao has gained weight now. Life is comfortable and worry-free, and it is normal to gain some weight. Except for Zuo Hong's supervision of his drinking, Xu Damao's life is quite satisfactory now. Seeing He Yuzhu coming to the door, Xu Damao smiled before saying anything, and his eyes narrowed into slits. Xu Damao smiled and said: "Old He, damn it, why are you free to come here today?" He Yuzhu gestured to the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "It's rare that I have time. I'd like to have a drink with you and discuss something by the way." The so-called "no desires and no demands" refers to Xu Damao. When he was in the factory, Xu Damao called He Yuzhu by his professional title. Even in the yard, he was called Zhuzi brother. But now that Xu Damao has retired, he started calling him Lao He Lao He. He Yuzhu didn't find this offensive. The fact that Xu Damao didn't bite a bone means that Comrade Shamao must have brushed his teeth today.

He Yuzhu glanced at Xu Damao again and couldn't help but said in surprise: "You idiot, why have you gained so much weight now?" Xu Damao was not short of words and replied directly: "You can't do anything worse. Your belly still looks like you're pregnant." …… He Yuzhu felt happy physically and mentally after exchanging words with Xu Damao. During this period, his nerves have been tense. It's a million dollars, and there will be more follow-up. Although Lou Xiao'e didn't ask him to pay it back, He Yuzhu will definitely not eat such a soft meal for no reason. As for He Yuzhu, he probably doesn't have the brains to become the richest man or anything like that. But it should still be possible to start a business and become popular for a while. Since he was starting a business, and given the conditions, he would naturally not refuse Lou Xiao'e's help. It has always been from one to all difficulties. Since he can skip this stage, He Yuzhu would be really stupid if he refused. But this also put double the pressure on He Yuzhu, after all, he had never done it before. If you fail, you will really not be able to hold your head high in front of a few ladies in the future. The three boys of Xu Damao's family watched the two little old men bickering, "Hey, hey" Zhi Le, but Xu Damao, who lost the argument, slapped his head and cursed: "What's Zile? Why don't you call someone?" "Uncle He" the three boys immediately lowered their heads and shouted. "Hey, good boy. Damao, you can't quarrel with me, why are you taking out your anger on the child?" He Yuzhu said with a smile. Xu Damao loses because of his stomach. He is a little fatter than He Yuzhu. There was nothing he could do about it. He Yuzhu had to exercise to prevent his family from losing all his wealth and had to use meat to repay Lou Xiao'e's debt. Naturally, he had to be more careful about his body than Xu Damao. Xu Damao ignored He Yuzhu's provocation and said to his third son: "Go, take money from your mother and buy some cooked vegetables outside!" "Hey," the little laosan agreed readily. Entering the room and offering a seat to make tea is always the polite thing to do. Xu Damao asked He Yuzhu why he came. He Yuzhu thought for a moment and then said: "Da Mao, let me ask you something first. How much can you do in a month in the park now?" Xu Damao's eyes were a little wandering. This matter is still illegal. It's one thing for others to know, but it's another thing to mention it in front of him. Xu Damao said vaguely: "Not much, maybe two or three hundred a month!" Zuo Hong, who was busy in the kitchen, couldn't help but pause when he heard the words, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Da Mao, in front of Brother Zhuzi, can you change your habit of bragging?

Two or three hundred? Then why did you give me twenty last month? " He Yuzhu initially thought that Xu Damao was embarrassed to tell him because what he was doing was illegal. But now when he heard Zuo Hong's explanation, it turned out that it was because he was embarrassed because he made less money. He almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and He Yuzhu coughed a few times. Seeing Xu Damao's blushing face, he might get angry. He Yuzhu quickly waved his hand to persuade: "Let's talk about the business first, let's talk about the business first." He Yuzhu shouted to the kitchen again: "Zuo Hong, please come out as well. This matter requires the two of you to make a decision together." "Hey! I'll be ready soon." Zuo Hong answered simply. In fact, at this time, Xu Damao and his wife were a little excited! The He family has really made money in the past two years. Seeing He Yuzhu seriously coming to discuss things with the two of them, he probably wanted to win over Xu Damao. But He Yuzhu hasn't made it clear yet, and Xu Damao and his wife are not too eager. Besides, if you work with He Yuzhu, you still have to talk about the income. Don't look at how Zuo Hong just criticized Xu Damao for not being able to make any money. That was because Xu Damao spent too much money. Earn some money every day, drink some wine outside, play some cards, take a short bath, and you will make a lot of money after accounting for your expenses. Of course, the meat in the bun is not in the pleats. As long as you know it yourself, there is no need to show it off to others. He Yuzhu waited for the couple to sit down before he said to the couple: "I recently set up a factory outside and I am short of people. I want people who can help. I want Damao to come over and help me..." What he said was what Xu Damao wanted to do in the past, and finally he said: "If Damao is willing to come over, I will give you three hundred and one month's salary in advance. As long as you help me straighten out the supply chain, the salary will be okay." Plus. We both grew up naked. As long as the factory is good, I won’t lose you in terms of income.” Xu Damao looked hesitant. He was already moved after hearing what He Yuzhu said just now. Asking him to go to various communes and small factories is equivalent to doing the same thing as when he was a projectionist before. Moreover, eating, drinking and talking about business are also his strengths. He is willing to do this even if he is not paid. But as a person, you still have to be more reserved. If you agree too readily, doesn't it mean that he is too cheap? But Zuo Hong, who knew him well, was sitting next to him. Seeing Xu Damao's coy look, he couldn't help but said angrily and funny: "Stop pretending, I don't know how happy I am in my heart. Brother Zhuzhu is not an outsider. , pretending to show it to whom?” Xu Damao's two opportunities to appear in front of others were ruined by his own women. He couldn't help rolling his eyes at Zuo Hong and scolding: "Masters are talking about this, what are you women mixing in? Do I disagree?" I’m worried that Brother Zhuzhu’s salary is too high.” After that, he changed his expression towards He Yuzhu, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuzhu, give me some face, I will definitely continue, is this salary a bit high?" Zuo Hong also looked at He Yuzhu worriedly. The two of them were definitely not worried about the high wages. But I am worried that if He Yuzhu offers such a high salary, he will not be able to achieve it by then. He Yuzhu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this. Mine is a serious company and has been registered in the district. It is not the kind of grass-roots team with a wallet. You have to sign a contract before entering the factory, and the salary is whatever you say. But I also said ugly things up front. If you don’t have enough money, you can mention it to me if your salary is low. But I was not allowed to take those messy things from the steel rolling mill to me. Especially when you are assessing those OEMs, professional and technical personnel will accompany you there. What you have to do, Damao, is to prevent those small factories from fooling us. " "Don't worry, Brother Zhuzi, you can't hide those messy things from your eyes and mine." Xu Damao agreed readily. He Yuzhu originally wanted to ask Xu Damao to sell it, but now Lou Xiao'e's HFJ Commercial Street is about to be completed. When the time comes for his own store, He Yuzhu wants to open a direct sales store there. These days, as long as the brand is established, it is not too difficult to distribute goods. Therefore, there is no need for highly professional talents like Xu Damao.

To be honest, He Yuzhu is not so reassured about Xu Damao's character. Sort out the industrial chain and let those small factories do OEM work for them. The most they can do is eat and drink, and they still entertain Xu Damao. Anyway, as long as the acceptance and quality control are well controlled, Xu Damao will not be affected by the purchase price or anything like that. This also limits the possibility of Xu Damao engaging in corruption at the source. But the sales pitch was different. There were too many tricks in it, and He Yuzhu, who had been friends for decades, might end up having to kill Ma Su in tears or something like that. After talking about the matter, we ate and drank. When we were full and Zuo Hong had gone to the kitchen to clean up, Xu Damao asked hesitantly: "Brother Zhuzhu, is this factory jointly run by Lou Xiao'e and you?" He Yuzhu's heart moved, and he knew that Xu Damao still had a knot in his heart. Xu Damao really had something in his mind, that is, who had ruined his parents' plan to get married to the Lou family back then. Xu Damao didn't know that Lou Xiao'e had given birth to a son for He Yuzhu, otherwise the He family must have caused trouble back then. In fact, it was in the past two years that I heard some gossip outside. In other words, He Yuzhu suddenly had a few more children, so Xu Damao thought of it. There is no need to say that there is any resentment. That incident back then has long since passed, and Xu Damao was even a little lucky that he didn't marry Lou Xiao'e, otherwise he might have really wanted to exterminate the family in those few years. But what to say about this matter? What you can't get is always turbulent. Now that I think about it occasionally, Xu Damao still feels sour in his heart. Especially this life is different from the previous life. He Yuzhu has been able to maintain his strength for so many years just because of his relationship with Hong Kong Island. This made Xu Damao mistakenly think that he could have sex with him. In terms of relationship, the Xu family was originally the absolute confidant of the Lou family, otherwise Xu Damao's parents would not have thought about letting their son marry Lou Xiao'e. In terms of ability, Xu Damao doesn't think he is much worse than He Yuzhu. In addition, Xu Damao didn't know what was going on inside. He didn't know how Lou Xiao'e made a fortune. I only know how much Lou Xiao'e helped He Yuzhu. So it is inevitable to feel sour in my heart. He Yuzhu was not dull, but smiled and said: "There is investment there, and you know the middleman, and they even said they would treat you to dinner." Xu Damao touched his head and said in surprise: "I know him? Who is he?" "Ran Qiuye, Teacher Ran, you also helped her family back then. Some time ago, Yan Bugui was paid for by others. This time when I returned to Sijiu City, they came to invest. I happened to meet me and wanted to do it. He took Lou Xiao'e to invest in the factory. She seemed to have a good relationship with Lou Xiao'e after I sent her family out." He Yuzhu replied. The words are all correct, but the order of things has been changed, and the meaning is completely different. He Yuzhu was not afraid that Xu Damao would know anything, but this kind of thing was not in line with the trend after all. He can't admit that he has three wives, can he?

It doesn't matter whether it's easy to say or not, there's no need to show off. But hearing these words in Xu Damao's ears made him feel much more comfortable. Although the distance between Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu is none of his business, people may not remember him. But people are like this, they always have all kinds of fantasies and all kinds of obscenities, regardless of age. I didn't get it, but if you got it, then I must feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, if everyone is the same, there will be psychological balance. Xu Damao asked in surprise: "Is Teacher Ran so rich?" He Yuzhu waved his hand and said with a smile: "My family, on the American side, is a family. For those who monopolize an industry, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket. I seem to have heard someone say that the Ran family is much richer than the Lou family. But his life was not very good. If Section Chief Lu was still alive back then, he would be a perfect couple. " He Yuzhu's eyes flashed with sadness. He still missed Lu Kuan's big brother. People often say that they can stand alone, and this is true for any enterprise. Basically, one or two capable people can arrange things properly. And it's the kind of person who is good at fighting but has no outstanding achievements. To be honest, He Yuzhu has been observing since He Yuzhu set up the team. Factory Director Lan is basically responsible for the connection of the various relationships above, the procurement and negotiation of raw materials, and then arranging daily tasks in the factory. For the same thing, He Yuzhu would have to go three or four times, but there might not be any results. Factory Manager Lan just made a phone call and made an appointment for a meal at most, and the matter was settled. Xiao Chen, now the workshop director, is responsible for various executions, personnel training, and machine installation. Xu Damao also traveled east and west, not knowing what he was doing every day, but the parts separated by the technicians were arranged by Xu Damao in every way. The factory's technical training and finance were all arranged by Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye. He Yuzhu suddenly became the hands-off shopkeeper. This thing can only make He Yuzhu rub his nose and not interfere with anything. With the delivery of various parts, He Yuzhu also arranged for technicians to start assembling the first rice cooker. This thing is not a novelty outside. It was invented in the 1950s and then became popular all over the world. To put it bluntly, this is an inevitable product when industry develops to a certain extent. As soon as electricity became available, all kinds of labor began to be liberated. For example, women must also participate in work, so housework naturally needs people to do it. It is because of this that various household auxiliary appliances were born. To put it bluntly, it is the inevitable result of better squeezing the labor force. The electric rice cooker entered China in the late 1950s. At first, only Friendship Stores sold them. Later, our own imitations came out and we started producing them in small batches. Something like the triangle brand was available in the 1960s.

The reason why it has not been popularized on a large scale is due to power issues, technical issues, and the fact that our parents lived a leisurely life at that time and did not need this thing. But with the development of society, there are more and more tube buildings now. The living area of ​​every household is not enough. If you burn briquettes and firewood, the house will be dark and unsafe. Therefore, a gas and an electrical product will inevitably become the mainstream of household demand in the next ten years or so. To put it bluntly, this thing now has no technical content, but because it has just emerged, the price is quite high. Nowadays, a rice cooker costs two to three hundred. You have to compare this with the salary of ordinary workers, which is half a year to a year's income before you can buy one. There is nothing we can do about it. The industrial chain is immature, and the result is that the cost is too high. For example, the three models of rice cookers made by He Yuzhu, 1 liter, liters, and 2 liters, cost between more than to yuan each. This is because we don’t have any patent authorization here. Dozens of people gathered around several steaming rice cookers. The assembly workers standing in the back were all talking in low voices. "Hey, that scent really comes out!" "Then there will be no need to burn briquettes in the future?" "This thing is good, but it's too expensive. Last time I saw one in the mall, it cost 280. It's not as big as ours." "Hey, tell me, if our factory produces this ourselves, we can buy it cheaper in our own factory in the future." ```````` The sound of the pop-up switch flashing was heard. He Yuzhu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was not worried about anything else but that the bounce switch would malfunction. This thing is so accident-prone. Several technicians nearby, including Factory Manager Lan, also looked at each other and smiled. As long as there is no problem with the sample, they can send it for inspection and mass production. Although the cost is very high, compared to the market price, there is still an extremely high profit. Of course, since He Yuzhu is thinking about this, he is not thinking about monopoly. He wants to sell rice cookers in this era to less than 200. This thing does not mean that if the production cost is 100, you will make money by selling it for 120. Taxes, channels, and after-sales costs must also be added, so if the cost can be determined to be within one hundred, He Yuzhu thinks it is a very good thing. The wholesale price is controlled within 150, and the retail price is controlled within . Basically, it is a small profit that can be developed stably. While considering the rapid development of society, we must take one thing into consideration, which is the depreciation of money. 像是79的时候，，。

In fact, in order to reform and let money flow into our side, the higher authorities have been actively devaluing the value throughout the 1980s and 1990s. From one dollar to one dollar now, it became eight dollars to one dollar in the mid-1990s. . This seems to have little impact on us. But in fact, it has forced us all from a lazy farming society to one where we are destined to be workers. There is nothing we can do about it. If we don’t force ourselves, we will always be the laggards. If we don't force ourselves, there will be no Chinese miracle later. Fools and smart people are not just compared for a moment. Those who ridiculed us these days have become envy later. So He Yuzhu seems to have more than doubled the profit, but from trial production this year to market launch next year, there are also increases in various prices, freight, profits left for shopping malls, and taxes. To be honest, a net profit of 20 to 30% in the end would be considered good. He Yuzhu hoped to launch it on the market by the end of the year, but HFJ was definitely too late. We can only take one step at a time. After all, we will definitely not lose money in the next two to three years. What's more, when talking about the 1980s, one word that must be mentioned is price breakthrough. Why does He Yuzhu want to hang a foreign brand? Just to get some discounts on the supply of raw materials. Otherwise, the profits from production and sales will not be able to match the increase in supplies. After the rice cooker had been simmering for ten minutes, He Yuzhu held a spoon on his head, scooped out a little bit from the top, put it into his mouth with chopsticks, and chewed a little. He Yuzhu frowned and his rice was a little stiff. The technician who was looking at He Yuzhu's face had no time to use bowls and chopsticks. He didn't care about the heat of the rice, so he reached out and pinched a few grains and stuffed them into his mouth. The technician said tremblingly: "Mr. He, there should be too little water in this pot of rice." He Yuzhu didn't say anything, but opened the second pot, filled some more rice and took a bite. It was moderately soft and glutinous, and quite elastic. He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said: "Is it possible to experiment to find out the most suitable amount of water by adding the rice and water scales on the inner pot of the rice cooker?" The technician thought for a while and said with bright eyes: "Okay, okay, just add one more process." He Yuzhu took a bite of the rice in each pot, put down his bowls and chopsticks, and then said: "We northerners eat less rice. If we want to bring this thing to the market, and if we want customers to accept it, we have to go to us." The eating habits here depend on it. The taste you can make is slightly worse, but it must have that function. Only in this way can we attract a group of potential consumers to have the desire to buy. " He Yuzhu just talked nonsense, and he didn't even know whether the rice cooker outside had a scale on the inner pot. But as the head of a factory, if he can't find problems, he can't make suggestions. So going down, it will naturally be all kinds of sloppy and make-do. What follows is the collapse of product quality. This year, including in the next ten or twenty years, many companies will die because of it. He Yuzhu stood at the top of the conference room, and sitting next to him were leaders and reserves at all levels in the factory. He Yuzhu said: "I don't care what other factories are like, anyway, our factory must set wages based on quality and output. The more you work and produce, the more you will get paid. Director Lan and Xiao Chen need to sort out these calculation and assessment standards as soon as possible. "

Xiao Chen asked: "We can understand the extra work, but what about this assessment?" He Yuzhu said with a serious face: "Deliberately slacking off work and deliberately producing substandard products. After the production process is straightened out, an average will be calculated every month. Those who exceed the average will be fined. Those who are below the average will be rewarded. If they still refuse to make corrections after being fined several times, they will be directly transferred to another department and let them live their lives. " There are also restrictions on foreign-funded enterprises these days. It doesn’t mean that you will be fired if you are not good enough. Although the above mentioned is a two-way choice, free employment. But in reality, there are still various obstacles. Apart from anything else, He Yuzhu could not fire some of the people introduced by the leaders, even if they were fools. Therefore, He Yuzhu implements a double salary system in the factory. That is to say, wages follow those of collective steel rolling mills. But when it comes to income specifically, including bonuses, perfect attendance, subsidies, and other messy calculations, as long as you are willing to do it, you can earn hundreds of dollars a month.
