Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 473 Different Methods, Naturally Different Results

Preserved egg breakfast shop, in the backyard.

Liu Xing is sorting out his luggage to rent a house.

After all, the weather is getting cooler, if you don't bring more clothes to rent a house, then you will be the one who suffers from the cold.

Little Peanut on the side watched with his mouth shrunken. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end he couldn't speak.

When Liu Xing turned around and saw this scene, he couldn't help shaking his head dotingly: "What's the matter, brother is going to study, it's not like he won't be back."

"But...but it's not fun to be alone at home!" Little Peanut pursed his lips, and finally couldn't hold back his tears.

"Hey!" Liu Xing stretched out his arms and hugged Peanut, not knowing what to say for a while.

Since his parents took over the brick factory in Qingshi Village, he can see them almost every day very late, and sometimes he doesn't even see them for half a month.

In terms of making money, after excluding expenses, he only earns tens of thousands of yuan a month, which is simply incomparable to him.

But he still has time to spend with Peanut!
And the parents!

Well now, don't care about anything.

It seems that taking care of his younger siblings is what he should do.

Could it be that they have forgotten that this little peanut and Liu Hang are their children.

As an older brother, he has the obligation to take care of Little Peanut and Liu Hang, but he doesn't have this responsibility. At least the responsibility of being a parent should be greater!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt a little annoyed, and was about to take out his mobile phone to call his father, and talk about the things that Little Peanut was left alone, when Liu Yi brought Murphy, and they both had happy smiles on their faces.

"Hey! You guys came back so soon?" Liu Xing went up to meet him in surprise.

"Yeah!" Murphy nodded shyly.

"Come on, eat candy!" Liu Yi opened the backpack and handed it to Little Peanut.

"Wow! There are so many toffees!" Little Peanut, who was not very happy at first, saw his favorite toffees in his backpack, and immediately broke free from Liu Xing's grasp happily, regardless of Liu Yi's willingness or not, He grabbed the entire backpack in his hand, then ran into his room with short legs to play.

"This child!" Liu Xing shook his head.

"It's okay, I just prepared it for Little Peanut!" Liu Yi smiled and glanced around: "Master, I have some good news for you, Sikong Lei came out of the Bamboo God Cave, along with Zhang Qiufa, Yue Furong, and Pufeng The Taoist priest is waiting for a dozen people."

"Oh!" Liu Xing nodded slowly.

He was not surprised by this good news at all.

After all, he was the one who told Sikong Lei how to leave the Bamboo God Cave by phone.

And when Liu Yi knew the news, he must have gone to the north of Hunan province to find Mr. Liu, and finally went to the west of Hunan, where he learned the inside story.

"But the current situation in Xiangxi is not optimistic. Apart from Sikong Lei, Daoist Pufeng, Zhang Qiufa, Yue Furong, etc. have all been hit by the Bamboo Bee Sting. That Lin Yaotian and dozens of other Lin family members have also been hit by this trap." Bamboo bee sting, what my grandfather meant, I would like to ask you to go to Xiangxi to help eliminate the hidden danger of bamboo bee sting." After moving a wooden chair, Liu Yi expressed his intention.

"I'm not going, I want to study!" Liu Xing replied cheerfully when he heard that Si Konglei was fine.

"Master, please don't be like this, my grandfather has taken a lot of benefits from the Lin family this time, if you don't take action, it will be a big trouble!" Liu Yi became anxious.

"Your grandfather took the benefits and I didn't take them, so why should I take action?" Liu Xing spread his hands amusedly: "Besides, the person who was stung by the bamboo bee must want to hit the baby in the bamboo god's cave. Otherwise, you will definitely not be recruited."

"What on earth do you want to go to Xiangxi?" Liu Yi knew that Liu Xing was not a greedy person, and he must have talked to him like this because he didn't want to save the Lin family, so he asked after a moment of surprise.

"Why didn't they come to the market when I went to Xiangxi?" Liu Xing asked back.

"This..." Liu Yi was stopped by the question.

But if you think about it carefully, what Liu Xing said really makes sense.

After all, it was the Lin family who asked Liu Xing to treat his injuries, not Liu Xing who asked the Lin family. Once the relationship between them was confused, the situation would be different.

"Your grandfather knew that I would not go to Xiangxi at this time, so he sent a message through you to tell me everything that happened in Xiangxi. I can still live for a few months!" Liu Xing casually sat beside Liu Yi: "I am a little worried about the disease caused by the gold obsidian, after all, the phoenix grass disappeared overnight."

"You don't have to worry about this master, because before the phoenix grass disappeared, many Xiangxi villagers had stored a lot of phoenix grass in their homes. It was more than enough to treat the Lin family and other villagers who were poisoned by gold obsidian!" Liu Yidan smiled back.

"Then it's used up?" Liu Xing looked at Liu Yi solemnly.

"This..." Liu Yi was asked again.

"The disappearance of the phoenix grass was entirely caused by the Lin family. Do you know the value of the phoenix grass in the mountains and plains in western Hunan? If you measure it in money, it may exceed hundreds of millions!" Liu Xing picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea: "Now It's gone like this, and you still told me that your grandfather has taken a lot of benefits from the Lin family, will your grandfather know how important these benefits are compared with Phoenix Grass?"

Liu Yi opened his mouth, but finally the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

Because everything Liu Xing said was reasonable, he couldn't refute it.

"The reason your grandfather asked you to go back to the market is to hope that you will be less involved in the affairs of Xiangxi, because the more you have to be careful at this time!" Liu Xing did not regard Liu Yi as an outsider, after taking a shallow sip of tea, He said earnestly, "If my guess is correct, a new batch of Lin family members have settled in Xiangxi, and they are ready to explore the Bamboo God Cave."

"You... how do you know?" Liu Yi was taken aback.

As far as this matter is concerned, as far as his grandfather, Deng Qi, Sikong Lei and him know, Liu Xingyuan knew about it when he was in the market, which is really unbelievable.

"Of course I guessed it! After all, Lin Yaotian is not dead, and the matter in the Bamboo God Cave is endless." Liu Xing shook his head and smiled, "Take Murphy back to where you live! Seeing the affectionate expressions on your eyebrows, I'm afraid I'm going to drink your wedding wine right away?"

"Ahem... soon! Soon!" Liu Yi did not hide anything in front of Liu Xing, and immediately replied with a dry laugh.

Murphy lowered his head shyly when he heard this, bit his lip, turned around and ran into the room where Little Peanut was.

"Haha... still shy!" Liu Xing said jokingly.

"That's her personality, but I like it!" Liu Yi laughed.

"As long as you like it, that's right! Now that you're free, tell me about the situation in Xiangxi in detail!" Liu Xing saw that there was no one around, and the smile on his face faded, replaced by seriousness.

"Okay!" After thinking for a while, Liu Yi explained in detail what he knew and what he saw.

In fact, I didn't say anything, it was all trifles.

After all, Mr. Liu is now in Xiangxi.

The Lin family didn't dare to act recklessly, so all matters concerning the excavation of the Zhushen cave must be carried out under the strict supervision of both parties.

And now that Lin Putao was rescued, Lin Yaotian didn't dare to threaten Si Konglei to do anything, which made the entire Lin family very passive.

But say a thousand things.

There is one thing that can't be changed.

That is, the excavation of Zhushen Cave still cannot be stopped.

This made Liu Xing very worried, but he knew that he was small and could not change anything.

So in front of Liu Yi, he didn't say much.

After learning about the recent situation in Xiangxi, Liu Yi took Murphy back to the place where he lived to rest.

And he took Little Peanut to the Bamboo God Bamboo Products Workshop for a meeting.

The content of the meeting was naturally to warn Gao Dazhuang and Zhu Xiuqing about the payment for the order, and then talk about the layoff plan.

Liu Xing actually disclosed the layoff plan to Zhu Xiuqing and Gao Dazhuang a few days ago.

The two didn't seem to take it seriously at the time, but after being trained this time, they realized that Liu Xing was not joking.

But the problem is that the craftsmen currently recruited from the Bamboo God Bamboo Bamboo Products Workshop and Bamboo Mat Processing Factory have a good relationship with them. If it is a layoff, no matter who it is, it will be very embarrassing.

Liu Xing had already seen Zhu Xiuqing and Gao Dazhuang's intentions, otherwise the two of them would never have been taking orders everywhere in the near future, even small orders worth a few thousand dollars would be accepted.

Although this is kind.

But it ran counter to his plan.

Liu Xing wanted to scold them both at the meeting.

In the end, he endured it, and after checking the detailed data of the account order, he suddenly made a decision: "It's fine if you don't want to lay off people, but the business of our Bamboo God Bamboo Products Workshop is about to enter the off-season. , so in order to maintain it, I decided to reduce the unit price of bamboo products.”

"How much?" Gao Dazhuang asked happily.

As long as you don't lay off people, you can talk about anything.

After all, the wages of craftsmen in his bamboo mat processing factory are indeed a bit high now, and it is imperative to reduce the unit price by piece.

Zhu Xiuqing was also happy and listened with bated breath.

"It must be reduced by half at least, and it will be implemented from tomorrow. If anyone is unwilling, he will be paid and let him go!" Liu Xing didn't want to continue talking nonsense. After saying this, he got up and walked towards the preserved egg breakfast shop.

"No...it's a bit too much, right?" Gao Dazhuang chased after him.

"Then how much do you want to drop?" Liu Xing looked back at Gao Dazhuang with a smile.

"Let's reduce it by one-tenth first, let's take it slowly!" Gao Da Zhuang smiled and scratched his head.

"Okay! My boss can also let you do it!" The smile on Liu Xing's face still did not disappear, but there were signs of something bad in his words.

Gao Dazhuang felt it, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck and stopped talking.

"Do you know how much the bamboo mat processing factory you manage is currently spending a day?" Liu Xing stared at Gao Dazhuang: "Then let me tell you, it has reached more than 2 a day. Now that there are orders, I can maintain it." , but no order yet?
If there is no order, excluding the daily wages, it will cost at least several thousand yuan a day, not including other hidden expenses. You are not a boss anyway, and you don’t know the difficulties of the boss.

How did I tell you at the beginning, the reason why the unit price of the piece is so high is to speed up the production of bamboo products, and when the order is completed, it will be the time for layoffs.

When there is an order next year, then we are recruiting them. After all, there are iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers. If these soldiers are gone, we can recruit them, but if the camp is gone, then there will be nothing.

Don't think it's unreasonable for us to lay off these craftsmen, but we paid them almost ten times the wages of other colleagues, nearly ten times!Isn't that enough? "

Running a factory, recruiting people during the peak season and laying off people during the off-season is a common thing after decades. Basically, no one will gossip. After all, if the processing factory is to operate normally, it must increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

It's not that Liu Xing has a dark heart, but that if he doesn't do this, the life of a craftsman working in bamboo products is easy, but he, Liu Xing, is afraid that his life will be sad.

Because the daily expenses of hundreds of people cost tens of thousands!

"But...but I don't know who to lay off?" Gao Dazhuang bowed his head under the training.

Zhu Xiuqing also shrank her neck and dared not speak.

After all, he knew that what Liu Xing said was the truth. The Bamboo God Bamboo Bamboo Products Workshop didn't owe the craftsmen at all. No matter when the layoffs started, it had to be done.

Because after the orders for the pig sheds were completed, many craftsmen had nothing to do. If it weren't for the orders for bamboo mats and mats, there would be at least [-] craftsmen going on vacation now.

"Now I didn't ask you to lay off people, you first cut the unit price of all bamboo products by half!" Liu Xing knew Gao Dazhuang's difficulty, so he reached out and patted Gao Dazhuang's shoulder, then shook his head and left.

"What should I do?" Gao Dazhuang looked at Zhu Xiuqing.

"What else can I do? Let's do it." Zhu Xiuqing spread her hands: "Actually, there is a saying I haven't told you all along. Qiao Deli's bamboo mat orders are expected to be reduced by half next month."

"Huh?" Gao Dazhuang was frightened.

Now he manages the bamboo mat processing factory, and Zhu Xiuqing manages the bamboo god bamboo products workshop, but it is because of Qiao Deli's big order that they have something to do.

If Qiao Deli's orders were to be cut in half, it would be a big trouble without layoffs.

Even if the current operating model is based on piecework, the daily food and lodging expenses of hundreds of craftsmen can't last!

"Stop it, hurry up and do what Liu Xing said!" Zhu Xiuqing smiled wryly, and went to do her work.

Gao Dazhuang had no choice but to ride his motorcycle back to the bamboo mat processing factory to announce that the unit price of the piece was reduced by half. What he didn't expect was that as soon as the news came out, those craftsmen who were usually idle and idle did not make trouble in the first place. He took the lead in finding him to resign and pay.

Naturally, he was very happy, and quickly registered his name to pay his wages.

After this wave, he realized that there were so many craftsmen who left, that there was no need for him to mention layoffs at all.

"This Liu Xing, it turned out that a lot of craftsmen would resign when the piece rate was reduced! He is really amazing!" Gao Dazhuang looked at the bill in his hand and sighed for a while.

The Bamboo God Bamboo Bamboo Products Workshop is here.

As soon as the news of the unit price reduction comes out.

There is no resistance from any craftsman.

After all, they already knew that such a day would come, because they took tens or hundreds of dollars a day, which would never have happened in other factories or construction sites in [-].

For them, it is reasonable to reduce the unit price of the piece, so that the Bamboo God Bamboo Products Workshop can continue to operate healthily.

It's just that this made Zhu Xiuqing into trouble.

Because as soon as the news of the unit price reduction came out, no one offered to resign, but they were all willing to continue working in Zhushen Bamboo Products.

This is very different from the situation of the bamboo mat processing factory managed by Gao Dazhuang. After all, the craftsmen in the countryside have completely different thinking from the craftsmen in the city.

Before Liu Xing went to rent a house, after hearing the news, he gave Zhu Xiuqing a trick, that is, to take a vacation.

The craftsmen who have nothing to do are on vacation, isn't it the season to harvest late rice?Let them all go back to collect late rice, and notify them in advance when something is done.

Of course, before asking them to go back, they will definitely be paid enough wages.

This approach is no different from layoffs in disguise.

But all the craftsmen working in the Bamboo God Bamboo Products Workshop accepted it happily.

Because they can also see that as the weather turns cold, the business of the Bamboo God Bamboo Products Workshop has entered an off-season.

If this still depends on the Bamboo God Bamboo Bamboo Products Workshop, wouldn't that make Liu Xing, the boss, lose money?
Therefore, many self-aware craftsmen went back with their wages, even Li Hu was no exception. He took his family back to Jizhou to build a red brick house.

After all, the money he earned in the Bamboo God Bamboo Products Workshop in the past few months is enough for him to build a good red brick house in Jizhou.

Liu Xing shook his head helplessly when he learned that Li Hu had resigned and returned home.

In fact, he didn't want to do this either, but the Zhushen Bamboo Bamboo Products Workshop is just a processing factory with no technical content. If it wants to become bigger and stronger, it must lay off workers.

Otherwise, it really wouldn't work!
Because he received an order worth 2000 million yuan for a pig shed this year, and an order worth 4000 million yuan for Jodly. After excluding all expenses, including paying taxes, until now, the remaining amount is less than 2000 million yuan.

Although there is a lot of money used to purchase equipment, it is not counted in it, such as the expansion of hundreds of sets of machinery and equipment for the Bamboo God Bamboo Products Workshop, and the purchase of several houses in the market for collective dormitories for craftsmen, etc. wait wait wait……

But no matter what, he felt the crisis.

The crisis of spending money like water.

If you are not increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

I'm afraid that the Bamboo God Bamboo Products Workshop will not be able to operate at all.
