The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 422 Just a few shakes (4000 words)
evening,

Li Ming sent Lou Xiao'e back to the Siheyuan in the west of the city, and then returned to No. 95 courtyard by bicycle.

The house could be finished today, and he had to go and have a look.

It was supposed to be there in the afternoon, and Lou Xiaoe slept relatively deeply, so Li Ming felt that it would be safer to accompany her.

When Lou Xiao'e woke up and saw him beside her, she felt very beautiful.

There are already many people waiting for him in the No. 95 compound.

"Xiao Ming is back."

"I'm home."

Everyone who meets him should say hello.

The accounts are simple, so Li Ming settled Master Liu's wages first.

Li Ming asked Silly Zhu who was also chatting in the yard, "You are free today, why are you staying at home?"

His words are obvious. Those who have a partner should go out on a date if they have time on weekends.

Sha Zhu chuckled, "I've been out for a day, and I just came back."

"How long will it take for your house to be finished?"

Silly Zhu replied: "Three or four days, the work will be finished before Labor Day. I have been sleeping on the floor for more than [-] days, and now I am looking forward to finishing the work early and sleeping on a bed."

Wu Ming's wife interjected: "Silly Zhu, aren't you talking about someone! You can go to your partner's bed and squeeze!"

Li Junyi's wife joked: "It just happens that the rice is cooked and cooked, and this daughter-in-law will be married!"

Silly Zhu murmured: "Don't tell me nonsense. That's a mistake in life style."

Wu Ming's wife said cheerfully: "It's okay, we won't tell you."

"If you don't tell me, Xu Damao will report me when you turn around." Silly Zhu took Xu Damao and whipped Xu Damao's body by the way.

Li Junyi's wife joked: "Silly Zhu is quite honest. He admits that he wants to go, but he dare not go because he is afraid of being reported."

Wu Ming's wife continued to tease Silly Zhu, "It's quite normal for someone who wants to marry a wife every day."

"Hey! When did I admit that I wanted to go? Why did I get dragged into it by you!" Silly Zhu was powerless to defend himself, feeling rather helpless.

Wu Ming's wife continued to talk nonsense: "An explanation is a cover-up."

Li Junyi's wife said that she was overjoyed, "It's okay, we won't tell you if we know about it."

The two married women sang together and ridiculed silly Zhu, amusing a bunch of people in the front yard.

Yan Bugui's family in the front yard planned to treat guests today. They cooked a chicken and paid for it.

However, there was no such thing as the rich and delicious food in Li Mingcheng's West Small Courtyard. He was too lazy to eat and drink, and slipped away as soon as he didn't pay attention.

When Yan Bugui reacted, the others disappeared.

When drinking at night,
Yan Bugui complained: "Those who want to ask you to have dinner together will disappear in the blink of an eye."

Li Ming said nonsense: "Last night you mentioned drinking. I thought it would be more appropriate to come here after I'm full."

Yan Bugui apologized: "It's my fault, it's all because I didn't explain it clearly to you yesterday."

Xu Damao said, "Third Master, I will accompany you, let's toast Xiaoming together."

"How can this work! Third Master, Brother Da Mao, let's do it together."

Yan Bugui finished his glass of wine, "Xiao Ming, eat more vegetables, don't be polite."

"I don't know how to write the word polite."

"Since Xiao Ming came to our courtyard, there have been many happy events, and now our courtyard has become a model in the east of the city." As soon as the wine was finished, Xu Damao raised his glass to respect him again.

"That's right, Da Mao, you should respect Xiao Ming a lot."

"Done!"

"Done!"

Li Ming didn't intend to play tricks with the two of them after drinking this cup, "Third Lord, Brother Da Mao, we've had a drink too. Why don't we talk about things first before we drink too much?"

Xu Damao looked at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui first looked at the direction outside the door, and then whispered: "Da Mao and I also want to build a greenhouse in the countryside, and we want to ask you to help us as a staff."

Li Ming also guessed Yan Bugui's little thoughts, but he didn't know whether Yan Bugui was waiting patiently or hesitating when he couldn't make up his mind, Yan Bugui never looked for him.

Li Ming was surprised to delay asking until now.

"Good thing! It's a good idea."

As soon as his words of approval came out, the two felt at ease. Although they guessed that Li Ming would probably help, they were not sure.

"How are you going to build it?"

Yan Bugui replied: "Before, I discussed with Da Mao, and I wanted to build a two-acre greenhouse in my home to liberate the production team who jumped in the line."

"Building greenhouses in Fangshan? I remember that Yan Jiefang's production team jumped in the mountains, so the journey is quite long! This winter, the price of vegetables in greenhouses will drop sharply, and the impact of transportation costs will be quite large, maybe not too much. Good deal."

Yan Bugui was puzzled: "I understand that the price of vegetables has dropped at this time of year. In winter, why did the price of vegetables drop so much?"

"The yield per mu has been greatly increased, and the production cost has been reduced. The Second Commercial Bureau will naturally lower the price when they set the purchase price. The purchase price has dropped, and the retail guide price of this vegetable market will naturally be lower."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Bugui and Xu Damao looked at each other.

Xu Damao knew a lot of film projectionists, so he planned to take the route of unplanned purchases.

Yan Bugui planned to let Yu Li's third mother sell vegetables directly. At this time, it would be no problem to find a suitable place or a street or lane to sell some vegetables.

The same 20%, if there is a lot of difference in the price of vegetables, the difference in the absolute amount will be a lot.

If the yield per mu is greatly increased, the supply will increase significantly. The market capacity is limited, and Yan Bugui and Xu Damao's vegetables may not be so easy to sell.

Xu Damao asked: "How much has the yield per mu increased?"

"Four or five times less, ten times more."

Yan Bugui was very surprised, "There are so many!"

Xu Damao thought about it for a while, people will work harder, and the money they earn should not be much less.

Yan Bugui made some calculations and found that the money Li Ming earned would be five times and ten times what he estimated before. He regretted it very much. If he had gotten involved earlier, he might have earned two or three rooms in the house.

Li Ming didn't even eat vegetables, and told the two of them, "The unit price of the purchase has been reduced, but the construction cost of the greenhouse has not been reduced. The bulk of the expenses, glass and wood, are real expenses and cannot be saved. of."

"Glass can be collected in various stores in the city. Wood is not so easy. You have to pay extra to buy it."

"You two may not have enough money!"

Yan Bugui and Xu Damao looked at each other, and said frankly: "It's not enough, we still want to find someone to partner with."

Li Ming didn't wait for Yan Bugui's words to continue, "Just ask in the compound, if anyone else has this idea, let's all work together."

Xu Damao allowed himself to save others, doubting: "There are too many people, can this be done?"

This suspicion is still reasonable.

At all times and in all over the world, the more shareholders there are, the more wrangling things will happen.

Of course, except for those with a backbone.

"It's okay, I'll get involved too, I'll take the lead, it's not a big problem." Li Ming has prestige in the courtyard, and he has a way to control these neighbors.

"Now the problem is that the location is not very good. Yan Jiefang's place is too far away, not to mention the cost of transportation on the road. It is so far away. The food is frozen on the road, and the appearance is not good."

Yan Jiefang can't do it, Yan Bugui wants to continue to build a new one at Li Ming's greenhouse, "Xiao Ming, what's your name over there?"

Xu Damao reminded: "Sunflower Brigade!"

Yan Bugui nodded again and again, "Yes, Xiangyanghua Brigade. I didn't remember it for a while. Xiao Ming, how about we build this side?"

"Sunflower has been targeted by the vegetable company, and the greenhouse vegetables over there will be bought by the vegetable company in the future. According to the purchase price, how much money can you make?"

Xu Damao frowned and didn't say a word. He wanted to get some money when he was unplanned before, but all the food was purchased and he lost everything.

Yan Bugui did the calculations, "That's not much money."

"So, let's discuss together in the compound, and we may discuss a more suitable place."

Yan Bugui and Xu Damao had no better way. They originally wanted to get Li Ming to partner and let him lead them to make a fortune.

Now that it has become a matter of the entire courtyard, all the previous plans of the two of them will come to nothing, and they may even be gossiped behind the back by the entire courtyard.

Bai busy still has to be said, Yan Bugui thought, what a nonsense! ——
Five days later, on September 4th.

Red Star Rolling Mill, Office of the Purchasing Section [-].

Li Ming had just queued up with the people who purchased the three departments to receive his salary.

May 5st is Sunday, and when the holiday meets Sunday, it will be postponed by one day, and the 1nd will become a holiday.

Salaries are paid on the 2nd. When it comes to festivals, it is an old tradition for the rolling mill to pay wages in advance.

Zhao Xin, who is also in charge of raising chickens, said flatteringly: "Xiao Ming, your current salary makes me so envious."

Li Ming said modestly: "If you get promoted one step first, you will be promoted soon, sooner or later."

Li Xueyao jokingly said: "Xiao Ming probably will upgrade again soon. This time, let our factory publish a newsletter. If the factory doesn't give a reward, all the employees in the factory will not agree."

Qian Jin asked, "Sister Li, is there any news?"

"There is no news yet. Now everyone is guessing how the factory will reward Xiao Ming." Li Xueyao, a well-informed person, has no news, so it really hasn't been decided yet.

Hu Lai affirmed: "Xiao Ming, it is true that the salary level will be raised again soon. Now there is no vacancy in the factory, so the only thing left is to raise the salary."

When he was leveling up before, he had never seen such a heated discussion among these people. Li Ming thought about it,

"I've convinced you! Tomorrow, I'll treat you to the small cafeteria. It's alright!"

As soon as he said this, the office was filled with joy and laughter.

"Haha, you should have said earlier."

"I haven't been back to Corey for several days, I thought you forgot about us."

"I have peace of mind to rob today's meal."

"That's right. You don't go back to Corey when you go back to the factory."

"Little brother, I was wrong. But, I decided not to change it." Li Ming deliberately teased them, "If it is changed, you will have no excuse to ask me to treat you."

"It's too easy to find the reason for your treat. There may be another credit tomorrow."

"That is, every progress is solid."

You can say more nice words, Li Ming was very happy, "I'm going to be embarrassed by your praise."

"I've been in Corey for a long time, I'm afraid I don't know how much I weigh."

After a while of excitement, the deputy section chief asked: "Xiao Ming, when you come back to the factory today, you're not just getting paid, are you?"

"In the past few days, everyone is busy welcoming comrades from Albania."

Albania's number two, Shehu, led a delegation to visit.

Yesterday, people from all walks of life in the capital held a grand welcome ceremony for millions of people. They also showed off the factory area in the eastern suburbs of the capital. Although the rolling mill was not on the scheduled itinerary, relevant preparations were made.

"Today, I want to report to Deputy Factory Manager Li about the renovation of the staff building. The renovation is about to start, and the workload like wiring wiring is not small. I hope the electrician team can train a few people first."

The deputy section chief didn't quite understand Li Ming's request, "Do you need a new electrician for the staff building? You have to recruit someone from the school, right?"

Most of the electricians in large factories such as rolling mills were trained in technical schools, and very few started as apprentices.

The circuit diagrams of many machine tools are no more than ordinary lighting circuits. They have no foundation and cannot be read, let alone maintenance.

Electricians usually do not do much work, and it seems easy to do the work, and the working location is not fixed, which makes people feel like wandering around and doing nothing.

"Tight lathe workers, slow fitters, knocking and beating sheet metal workers, and idlers working as dry electricians." '

However, for such a seemingly leisurely job, there are not many people who study electricity.

At that time, many regulations had not been formulated or many regulations were not strictly enforced, and there were many accidents of electric shock injuries or even death. Ordinary people were still a little afraid of electricity.

Li Ming explained: "There is no need to recruit new electricians. Train some people to help with rough work such as pulling wires and installing a light switch. These things do not require high technology."

"I don't want to waste wires and other materials by temporarily asking people who don't understand to help because their electrician team is too busy."

"Because there are not enough electricians and the wiring construction is slow, the check-in time of the staff building is delayed, so I will be busy in vain."

The deputy section chief boasted, "It's still Xiao Ming who is thoughtful."

"I'm just looking for stability. During the design meeting before, it was discussed, and there is time."

Section Chief Chen Guodong pushed the door open, "Xiao Ming, you're here too."

Li Ming turned his head and saw Section Chief Chen, got up and said, "Hi Section Chief. After receiving the salary, I will chat with everyone when I have some time."

Section Chief Chen smiled and said, "It's just that there are quite a lot of people today. They are all practicing their cars recently, and their driver's licenses are about to be taken down."

"They robbed me just now, and now I have found a reason. Those who passed the assessment at Master Fan's side should be treated!"

Zhang Youlu took the initiative and said: "I will definitely invite you, and I will call you over if I call."

"Brother Youlu, you passed, who else?"

A happy event, Zhang Youlu said with a smile: "There is also the deputy section chief and Xin Zhao."

"Three meals, save a day's food expenses, I am very happy."

Qian Jin, who was somewhat depressed, smiled and said, "That's right!"

Li Xueyao broke up and said, "What's wrong? You can save a little more money from your private house, right?"

Hu Lai joked, "Don't tell me if you see it through. His private house money of a few cents has seen a huge increase."

"Shh!" Qian Jin reminded Hu Lai to watch behind him.

Section Chief Chen was shaking the handle on the side of the phone.

To make a call, you need to generate electricity first, and you don’t need to shake it too much, just shake it a few times.

The electricity travels through the telephone line to a human operator who, when the line is connected, asks where to go.

You can report the phone number or the name of the unit, and you can receive it. This is the basic skill of an operator.

It would be troublesome to cross a high-ranking official career. It is often difficult to get through, especially when making cross-provincial calls to the countryside.
