Rebirth 85: Profits start from repairing sewing machines

Chapter 2 Repairing the Sewing Machine
Jinghe Brick Factory is extremely busy.

In 85, brick factories hardly used forklifts to load bricks, and had to rely on people to move the bricks to the trucks and pile them up.

In groups of two.

One car, two yuan.

One point for two people, one piece for each!
Shen Zhihua was wearing a bamboo hat, struggling to push more than a dozen stones on his chest, and stretched them out.

Above, is a woman who looks about forty.

While receiving it, he kept nagging: "It's really unlucky for eight lifetimes to partner with you. You see how fast others work, and we are left so slow. How can we earn as much as others!"

"Sister-in-law Mei, I'm really sorry!" Shen Zhihua squeezed out a smile, "Please bear with me."

"Auntie, I'm coming too, don't scold my mother." Nian Nian, who was less than four years old, struggled to lift a brick, her face was flushed, and she tried hard to move the red brick up.

"That's enough, that's enough!" Mrs. Mei stretched out her hand to catch it, "Where are you a man? Why are you such a beautiful woman running here? If I were your man, I would wish to have you stay at home every day..."

"My man is not feeling well. I'm here to help support the family. I can help as much as I can."

"Okay, okay, hurry up! Don't waste time!"

"it is good!"

"Auntie, I'm coming too, don't scold my mother, okay?"

"Okay, don't talk, don't talk!"

……

In the distance, Chen Cheng looked at his wife and daughter, tears streaming down his face.

"Scum, look what you're doing!" Suddenly he wiped away his tears, turned his head and left.

Yes, to support a family, you must never let your wife and daughter live like this again!
After leaving here, what Chen Cheng thinks about is to make money!
He has many ways to make money, but the money he wants to make is urgent now, and he needs to make it as quickly as possible.

"Machine repair!" Finally, Chen Cheng thought of his old profession.

In his previous life, after his wife and daughter left, Chen Cheng finally got into a factory and learned to be a mechanic with a master.

That was the time of the 90s.

At that time, there were more garment factories, and the demand for machine repairs also surged, otherwise he would not have had such an opportunity.

Just like it is now, although there are quite a few garment factories, they are far from as many as later. This makes machine repair a relatively small job, and ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with it at all.

"Yes, repair the sewing machine!"

After making up his mind, Chen Cheng went home first and found a few handy tools, such as common tools like nut cutters, and carried them in a small bag.These things may not be enough, but generally there will be tools in the factory, so you can just borrow them when the time comes.

Then go to Changrong Street.

On this street, there are at least a dozen factories, large and small.

There may be thirty or forty people in a large one, and a few people in a small one may be a production line.

And those state-owned or other large factories are not here.

Chen Cheng came here and asked questions from the beginning.

"Excuse me, do you need to repair the machine here? I am a machine repairer! The technology is very good, and I can repair everything!"

The people in the factory gave Chen Cheng a strange look.

In this day and age, there are relatively few active people like this.

"No broken machine!"

"Thank you!"

I asked several companies one after another, but in the end they all returned without success.

Chen Cheng was not discouraged, and soon came to the outside of a garment factory called Taihe.

"Master, may I ask, is there anyone in your factory who needs to repair the machine?" Chen Cheng asked.

The security guard looked at around sixty, glanced at Chen Cheng, and waved his hand to signal no.

But just after taking two steps, I heard footsteps inside.

"Brother!" A man in his forties stopped Chen Cheng, "You...you know how to repair sewing machines?"

"Yes!" Chen Cheng's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the business was coming.

"Will the special car do it too?" the man asked suspiciously.

"Yes!" Chen Cheng nodded, "Are you talking about a car or a car? I can do either!"

"Oh!" The man's eyes lit up, "Come on, come on, I've broken down a car and a car here, come and help me take a look."

"Row!"

Follow the man in and come to the workshop.

Inside the workshop, there was a rumbling sound.

Everyone is busy, no one chats.

"Come, come, please!" The middle-aged man politely led Chen Cheng to the corner of the workshop.

One car and one car, the front is empty.

The so-called flat car, its scientific name is actually an interlock sewing machine.

钑 car, scientific name is overlock sewing machine.

冚车钑车 are all called in the factory.

"Factory manager, can he fix it?" A woman who looked like a worker looked at Chen Cheng suspiciously, "This kind of thing is not easy to fix, so please invite the people from the repair factory to come, so as not to delay production."

"It's okay, he said he can fix it!" The factory manager also looked helpless.

Generally, large factories have a dedicated machine repair station, but a small factory like them can't afford a machine repair, so they usually ask the repair shop to come over for repairs.

But repair shops are expensive to repair.

The factory manager is heartbroken!
"What's the problem?" Chen Cheng asked, ignoring their words.

"The result is not smooth!" The factory manager took a piece of clothing and showed it to Chen Cheng, "Look, these places look a bit bent, such a product will never pass the inspection, it must be reworked of."

"There is a problem with the needle board!" With his experience in the previous life, Chen Cheng could tell at a glance, "It is possible that the needle board is slightly bent. If this is the case, the needle board must be replaced. If not, it must be adjusted."

"Yes, yes, we think so too!" The director's eyes lit up.

You guys can do it, you can make a rough guess without even looking at it.

"I'll take it apart and have a look!" Chen Cheng started to dismantle it as he said that.

It was taken down shortly after.

"Fortunately, the needle plate is not bent!" Chen Cheng nodded and said, "It should be misplaced."

"That needs to be adjusted, it's not a good job!" The factory manager felt a little tricky again.

Debugging this thing is a technical job. Many apprentices in repair shops like to change the needle plate and don't like to adjust it, because they don't know how to adjust it, even if they are not masters.

"It can be adjusted, I'll do it!" Chen Cheng said and started debugging.

After tuning for about 2 minutes, Chen Cheng sat down.

"Give me a scrap cloth!"

Soon the waste cloth was brought over.

Chen Cheng stepped forward and tried it.

A neat but smooth edge has been cut out.

"Look!" Chen Cheng showed the effect to the factory manager.

The factory manager glanced and his eyes lit up.

"Oh, young man, you can do it!" The factory manager laughed and gave Chen Cheng a thumbs up.

"Then let me take a look at that car!"

"Okay, okay, come on, have a look!" The factory manager was more polite.

The 钑 car was a problem with the jumper wires. In fact, there was no major problem. Chen Cheng also made some adjustments and quickly adjusted the 钑 car.

Two looms, all resolved.

"Hurry up!" The factory manager urged the two workers, "Don't waste time, work right away. By the way, young man, you come..."

In the office, the factory manager looked at Chen Cheng with a smile on his face.

"Young man, how do you charge?" the factory manager asked.

"Factory Manager, your machine should be repaired frequently. Let's see if the price is right." Chen Cheng said.

The factory manager pondered.

"How about this, I'll give you six dollars, let's treat it as making friends, what do you think?"

Chen Cheng couldn't help being speechless, you are quite good at bargaining!

I really don't know, just like this machine, once the people in the repair shop do it, it will cost at least five yuan a piece.

In other words, I have to charge at least ten yuan for this one!
