Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 280 Spending Money Like Water Part One
The factory rented by Wang Weidong used to produce lamps. It seems that there were more than seven or eight hundred employees in it at that time, because when Wang Weidong went to check the dormitory rooms, all the beds inside were three-story, and every small dormitory room According to the number of beds, there should be more than 30 people.

Wang Weidong temporarily asked Liu Jianguo and his wife to manage the cafeteria. Now that no one is eating, he will check whether the utensils in the cafeteria are complete.

Wang Weidong plans to let Bao Qihang manage the warehouse in the future.

Three days later, Shi Mingchuan also came.

He has made up his mind to resign up to now. Shi Mingchuan asked for leave from the school and can only stay here for about half a month.

However, he brought the appearance of the two computer learning machines and drawings of the internal circuit diagram.

The appearance of the computer learning machine was designed by Shi Mingchuan when he went to Harbin Business School to find someone there to help.With these two things, Wang Weidong can contact the manufacturer to place an order.

Over the past ten years, with the rapid development of foreign investment, Hong Kong investment, Taiwan investment and local private enterprises in Guangdong Province, the production categories have become more and more complete, and the production facilities have become more and more convenient.

It is very easy for Wang Weidong to find a manufacturer to take over the production of learning machine shells and circuit boards.

After Ou Xiaojun's introduction, he rushed to Dongwan, [-] kilometers away, and negotiated with the two.One manufactures plastic casings for computer learning machines for Xiangyang Electronics Industry Company, and the other manufactures circuit boards for them.

When Wang Weidong saw a shoe factory with tens of thousands of people in Dongwan City, he really felt that this small factory that planned to recruit [-] workers was just a small shrimp.

There are two kinds of computer learning machines, one is split and the other is all-in-one.

The split-type computer learning machine has no printer interface, and has a first-level and second-level font library for pinyin typing and English word practice basic programming and other content.

The all-in-one computer learning machine has a built-in 3.5-inch floppy drive expansion slot and a printer interface. In addition to pinyin typing, Wubi typing is added, so the price is also more expensive.

Wang Weidong signed a contract in Dongguan to produce 1 sets of casings for each type of computer learning machine, and at the same time, 1 pieces of circuit boards and boards for each of the two types of computer mainframes.

For a newly established factory, this amount is large.

However, a large quantity also has the advantage of a large quantity, that is, the lower the cost allocated to each shell and circuit board.

In order to save costs, Shi Mingchuan changed the mechanical keyboard to a membrane keyboard.

The next thing is to recruit workers immediately, and then hurry up for pre-production training.

There are a large number of private factories in Fushan, and there are tens of thousands of migrant workers. Every day, a large number of foreigners come here to work.

Wang Weidong printed hundreds of small advertisements and pasted them on hundreds of electric poles and places frequented by migrant workers in Fushan.

Every night at the gate of the factory, he set up a table and sat here to wait.

The reason why it is at night is because only at night, after working overtime, those working girls can come out for a short time to do some activities, go shopping and get some fresh air.

Before posting the advertisement, he did investigation and research, investigating the wage level, overtime hours and other treatment conditions of other factories.

Wang Weidong is confident that those working girls will definitely come to take the bait.

On the night when the ad was pasted, groups of migrant girls appeared at the gate of Xiangyang Electronic Industry Company.

The two girls hugged their necks and walked across Wang Weidong's table.A girl asked: "Boss, do you suppress wages here?"

According to the unwritten rules of private enterprises in Fushan, it is generally necessary to suppress one month's salary.

"Although we have to hold one month's wages like other factories, workers can also borrow at least half a month's wages." Wang Weidong replied.

He, a new outsider, didn't want to break the unwritten rules here and cause public outrage.

Hearing Wang Weidong's answer, the two girls were very satisfied.

Before the girl could continue to ask questions, Wang Weidong said: "We are an electronics company, and we work in the workshop every day. The production environment is much better than other factories."

Many enterprises, such as the glue used in shoe factories or factories with painting processes, are potentially harmful to the health of workers. In some factories, workers must stand up and work for more than ten hours a day. Compared with sitting and working for more than ten hours, the labor intensity is very different.

Wang Weidong pointed to the sign beside him and said, "Look, the basic wage is 250 yuan per month, overtime wage is [-] yuan per hour, overtime wage is [-] yuan per hour on Sunday, and overtime wage is [-] yuan per hour on holidays. Is it comparable to other factories? There are few of them?"

Many private factories now operate 12 hours a day, with two shifts.Among them, there are three to four hours of overtime every day.To be honest, the labor intensity of the workers is very high and they are also very tiring.

While Wang Weidong was talking to the two girls, another seven or eight girls gathered around to watch the salary introduction on a big sign next to Wang Weidong, and they were all very satisfied.

"After doing this, I can earn at least 400 yuan a month, which is pretty good." Wang Weidong added.

"In other factories, you can rest about four days a month, and we are the same here, but here we give the girls an extra day off every month. You don't have to work on this day, and the factory will still give you eight yuan .” Wang Weidong said.

Looking at the big black eyes of a dozen girls, Wang Weidong explained: "Women always feel unwell for one or two days every month? In order to take care of you, our Xiangyang Electronics Factory will give you an extra day off! "

All the girls were taken aback for a moment, and then burst into shy laughter at the same time. One of the girls said in a crisp accent, "This boss is so interesting!"

Judging by the accent, this should be a girl from Sichuan.

Now in most factories, the ratio of men to women is seriously out of balance. Wang Weidong recruited workers for two days, but few young men came to ask.

Since they are going to work outside to endure hardships, most of the men are naturally willing to go to places with higher labor intensity and more money.

Ou Xiaojun purchased 6527 sets of 6528 and [-] processor chips from Taiwan-based Lianhua Electronics for Wang Weidong's Xiangyang Electronics Industry Company through Hengchang Company established in Hong Kong.

The 32 pieces of 742k memory were purchased at Factory [-], and all other electronic components can be purchased domestically.

20 sets of processor chips cost 40 US dollars a set, and [-] sets of chip processors cost [-] US dollars.

Now the official exchange rate between RMB and US dollar is 1:5.7, but the adjusted exchange rate has reached 1:8.7.

Since US dollars are used to purchase chips, Xiangyang Electronics Industry Company can only purchase US dollars at the price adjusted by the machine exchange rate, and then purchase electronic components.

Calculated in this way, the money to buy 500 sets of chips and [-] memories is nearly [-] million yuan.

　Ten years later, the chip of the computer learning machine is still used by Wenquxing.
