Chapter 14 Rats and Mice
The three walked forward side by side.

Workers with good deeds followed behind, wanting to see the excitement.

But what Chu Tianshu felt a little strange was the direction they were going now.

This direction was not led by two workers, but by Chu Tianshu himself.

"Brother, you two, don't you know where that man's home is?" Chu Tianshu asked after walking for a while.

The two workers were a little embarrassed at this time.

Earlier in the tavern, they were drinking and listening to the uproar of the people around them. They were indeed full of anger, and they only wanted to teach the person who bullied them a lesson.

But after leaving the tavern, the cold wind blows, the drunkenness dissipates, and the encouragement is gone, naturally there is a bit of timidity in my heart.

At this moment, they all felt a bit of retreat in their hearts.

It's just that because he had eaten Chu Tianshu's wine earlier and promised to help him beat someone up, it's hard to bring it up.

Seeing that the two did not reply, Chu Tianshu knew what they were thinking.

It was quite similar to some workers he had encountered in the past.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianshu stopped in his tracks: "If you don't want to go, forget it."

The two workers were a little cowardly at this moment, and felt sorry for Chu Tianshu: "Little brother..."

Chu Tianshu's face was very calm.

He was neither hopeful nor disappointed: "It's nothing if you don't want to go, after all, you will still have to make a living under their hands in the future."

"At your age, if you think about it, you will be dragging your family. If you have to work alone to support your family, you can't stand the storm. I can understand."

"If you don't fight, then don't go."

"But I heard from you earlier that you are short of money."

"I have one more thing here, and I want to ask you for help."

"It's not for you to fight with others."

"It's about you soldering something for me."

"Of course, I don't want you to help me do things for nothing."

"We calculate based on the market price. If you work in the factory on weekdays, your daily salary should be about five cents."

"What I want you to do for me is because it takes up your extra working hours, so it counts as overtime work. Overtime work, I will give you double wages and give each of you a dime a day."

"And don't worry, it's not contraband or weapons that you are asked to help weld."

"In that case, would you like to help me?"

The two workers were a little ashamed at first, but now they heard that the double salary can be converted into [-] cents per day, and it is still in their spare time after get off work, so they agreed with one voice.

"I would."

"Okay." Chu Tianshu felt a little complicated: "My name is Chu Tianshu."

Both of them knew to report their names at this time.

"My name is Yan Yu."

The taller worker said, "My name is Chen Ya."

Chu Tianshu asked: "You two, do you know the welding process? If you don't understand, you can call two or three more people, and I will still pay you."

"I understand." Yan Yu said immediately.

But after he finished speaking, he hesitated again: "Can I really call someone again?"

"Yes." Chu Tianshu nodded: "But now I haven't even found the factory building yet, and I haven't contacted the materials yet. I guess it will take two or three days to wait for these. Within three days."

"Can you really pull people? Boss Chu, can we pull a few more?"

"It's best not to have more than ten people." Chu Tianshu replied.

To build a bicycle, even with the current level of technology, Chu Tianshu felt that six or seven people were enough.

However, in view of the fact that the overall quality of these workers may not be as high as he imagined, in order to ensure efficiency, Chu Tianshu thinks it is okay to call in two or three more workers.

After all, labor is cheaper than I imagined.

"Hey, Boss Chu." Chen Ya whispered, "Did you just say that the factory building and raw materials have not been found yet?"

"That's right." Chu Tianshu asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"We have it." Chen Ya licked his lips: "I just don't know what you want to make, how many raw materials you need, and what kind of specifications it is."

"If the specifications are small, the process is not so complicated, and there are not many consumables... We know the old uncle Liu who is in charge of the gate of our factory. After work in the factory at night, we can directly use the site and raw materials in the factory."

Chu Tianshu was a little moved: "Is it true that nothing will happen?"

"No." Both Chen Ya and Yan Yu laughed at this moment: "We make all the farm tools we use at home in this way, and the factory just turned a blind eye to this matter."

"What about the raw materials?" Chu Tianshu asked, "Doesn't the factory calculate the consumption of raw materials?"

"There is no need to worry about this." Yan Yu said confidently: "The raw materials in our factory, to be honest, one consumes three."

Chu Tianshu was taken aback: "Your factory hasn't closed down yet?"

"Our factory mainly produces weapons." Yan Yu said: "Because the boss in the factory is very powerful, he receives many orders and pays high prices, so he is not afraid of such a little waste."

"Your supervisor doesn't care?"

"They themselves sometimes report falsehoods."

When Chu Tianshu heard this, he had a guess about the specific situation of this steel factory.

This is not just about the workers picking up wool from the factory.

This is obviously reselling raw materials from the management, and even directly reselling finished products, but because the whole factory has the public power of the feudal government, it has a large order to support it, so it doesn't care about the rats inside.

It is even possible that the existence of these mice is part of the source of the order.

Officials and businessmen colluded, and what was manufactured was weapons. The government also practiced military blackmail against foreign countries and dumped these weapons abroad.

This country and this factory are quite interesting.

"Let's do it this way." Chu Tianshu thought for a while: "You also count the old Uncle Liu who is the gatekeeper in your factory."

"We use your factory's raw materials and venues, and I will pay you some venue fees and raw material fees as well...but the price is lower than the market price, what do you think?"

"It's fine, it doesn't matter if it's lower, as long as it's there." Yan Yu smiled apologetically: "Boss Chu, what do you want to build?"

"It's something that girls like." Chu Tianshu said, "This thing... I'll give you the drawings and proportions."

"Just get it out."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Ya nodded again and again: "Our factory's technology is still very good."

The factory that makes firearms, the precision of making things, is used to make a toy to make girls happy, it must be pinched by hand, there is no problem.

Both Chen Ya and Yan Yu are full of confidence in this matter.

Chu Tianshu nodded: "Then can you take me to your factory first?"

"It's okay." Chen Ya quickly led the way: "Come on, Boss Chu, go here."

Chu Tianshu had noticed the change of the two people's names before.

He didn't correct it.

It's annoying though.
