Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 24

A month later, various electronic components finally arrived one after another, some from Wuxi Radio Factory, and some from Changzhou Radio Factory.

Each time, Wang Weidong had to hire a horse-drawn carriage from Hongwei Village to bring the components back from the railway freight station at his own expense.

Of the 40 speakers sent, more than [-] were found to be defective after testing. The most disturbing thing was the resistors. Four or five different resistors were mixed together and packed in several large wooden boxes.Opening the wooden box inside is messy like a few hedgehogs.

No way, Wang Weidong had to ask everyone to separate these resistors according to different resistance values ​​in a few days.Fortunately, this can be done according to the color ring on the outside of the resistor. This matter made the colorblind Bao Qihang very embarrassed.

Originally, he thought he was a normal person second only to Wang Weidong among these people, but now he can only separate the resistance by measuring with a multimeter.

In the evening, Wang Haifu and three other veteran workers walked into the workshop.

After get off work, the workshop was empty, and the factory leader approved the four of them to use the machines in the workshop to produce radio casings for the radio factory.

Wang Haifu finished smoking first, then took a few sips of water from the big tea mug and said, "Let's do it!"

Master Guan skillfully draws lines on the foreign iron sheets and cuts them into small pieces of iron.

Wang Haifu punched the cut iron sheet on the machine tool to form the front box and back cover of the radio.

Fu Guirong wore a mask and sprayed the front box of the radio with black paint, and the back cover with silver white.

Finally, Mr. Liu spot-welded the red words "Entrepreneurship" cut out of iron sheets on the lower right corner of the radio casing.

Nowadays, radios are basically made of plastic casings, but because the order is too small, only 1, the price given by the Dalian factory is very high. No wonder, only [-] pieces are produced in one mold. If it is [-] yuan, the price can be at least halved. .

Finally, Wang Weidong persuaded the factory leaders to use factory machines and materials to produce metal radio casings.

Four old workers who used to produce shell casings and bullet casings are now producing tinplate radio casings, which are simply anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes!
The radio casing is tightly fitted, and the metal casing with black front and silver back is very high-end.

Halfway through the work, Fu Guirong stopped to rest.Although she is a woman, she also develops the habit of smoking among men.

Fu Guirong took a puff of a cigarette and said, "Only this little work, two hours a day, can be done in less than half a month."

When he finished the work and walked home from the production area under the starlight, Wang Haifu held the tea mug and said with emotion: "I have been staying at home all day for the past few months. My waist is sore and my legs are sore. After working for two hours, everything will be fine!"

Wang Weidong also began to lead everyone to install radios.Each person has only four production tasks a day. Insert more than a dozen parts on the circuit board and solder them firmly, then install the circuit board in the radio casing, connect the speaker and magnetic rod, and a radio is assembled.

Wang Weidong originally wanted each person to manage a process, just like a production line, which would be more efficient.But seeing such a small workload dispelled the idea.

Each person can actually install and test four radios in less than half a day.

From time to time, the loud voice from the radio rang out in the room.

Gradually, everyone began to learn how to do foreign work, to go to work on time and go home on time, not to be late or to leave early, since this is the case, it is good to work slowly.

One hundred of the first batch of radios produced will be sent to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the factory, and the rest will be sent to the provincial supply and marketing headquarters and Mushi supply and marketing cooperatives, and then distributed layer by layer to the city and county supply and marketing cooperatives for sale. This is Xiangyang Chemical Fengshan County, where the factory is located, can only use this channel instead of directly purchasing goods from the radio factory.

Wang Weidong went to the factory's supply and marketing agency almost every day. When he walked to the radio sales counter, he handed out a cigarette and asked with a smile, "How many radios did you sell today?"

It is Xiangyang Chemical Factory's own factory, and it is the radio produced by the children of its own factory, so the employees of the factory tend to buy Chuangye brand radios. In the first two or three months, they sold more than 300 sets, and then the sales gradually decreased.

Since the fourth month, there has been a payment from the Provincial Supply and Marketing Headquarters. Wang Weidong applied to the deputy factory director Fang in advance for the wireless factory to open an account in the bank, and patted his chest to the deputy factory director Fang to issue a military order. Be self-reliant!Until his mouth was worn out, Deputy Director Fang finally agreed.

Before the end of the year, Xiangyang Chemical Factory will transfer all electronic components to the account designated by the Ministry of Machinery.

Wang Weidong calculated an account in private, excluding the money for the production of raw materials and paying the tax to the state, there is still a profit of seven or eight yuan for each radio.The factory produces more than 800 units a month, that is more than 6000 yuan!
And the total wages of the eight people are only a little over 300 yuan a month!
The rest are the profits created by the eight of them for the factory.

But how can the money be spent? Now is not the time for him to pay wages casually.

Wang Weidong withdrew 300 yuan from the bank.

He first returned home and handed 300 yuan to his father Wang Haifu and said, "This is your payment for producing 1 radio casings in four months."

"Four months? Isn't it half a month?" Wang Haifu asked without knowing it.

"Why half a month? It's four months! I'm not a fool, can I give you that much money for half a month?" Wang Weidong said.

He took out a piece of paper and asked his father to sign it and press his thumbprint.

After Wang Weidong left, he still had to pay the other three old workers.

Wang Haifu held a thick stack of Great Unity and was very moved. Although he didn't care about the family's money, he still knew the family's wealth.He and his wife, Li Yufeng, lived frugally for so many years and only saved 700 yuan, but he only worked for half a month and earned so much money for two hours every night.

"It was earned in four months." Wang Haifu muttered to himself.

The next morning, Wang Weidong said to the seven people who had just walked in: "Everyone be quiet, let me say a few words. You have worked hard these past few months, working hard, and your feet hit the back of your head! I decided that everyone can spend more time during the day." Take a break, combine work and rest, and do the rest of the work at night!"

Wang Weidong's words made everyone look at each other in blank dismay. It's easy to work in the daytime, so why do you have to work overtime?
"Work overtime at night? Is there overtime pay?" Liu Jianguo asked knowingly.

When Wang Weidong went home to give money to his mother last night, he had already set up with him, and Wang Weidong gave his mother an extra 100 yuan considering that the spray paint was poisonous.

"What are you talking about! We are a collective enterprise, so how come there is no overtime pay! Overtime pay should be paid at the same level as the overtime pay of Xiangyang Chemical Factory!" Wang Weidong replied.

Now everyone except the dumb girl understands what Wang Weidong means. During the day, everyone does foreign work and saves some work until evening to get overtime pay.

A month later, Shi Yueshuang didn't come back home until after seven o'clock in the evening.She took out a large front door from her pocket and handed it to her father, Director Shi.

"Is this because you honor me? You still think about me after working so hard every day overtime, how much salary do you get this month plus overtime pay?" asked the factory manager.

"More than 70!" Shi Yueshuang replied proudly, now she is completely self-supporting.

"There are so many!" Director Shi said in surprise.
