Rebirth 1990: I have three golden fingers.

Chapter 39 Father-in-law’s stinginess
At nine o'clock the next morning, Fang Bai went out with his bag on his back.

There is 5000 yuan in his backpack, and he is going to buy a BP machine.

In this day and age, not having a decent communication tool is really inconvenient.

Accustomed to using ultra-thin touch phones, Fang Bai doesn't like bricks like Big Brother.

If he spends 3 to [-] yuan to buy a mobile phone, from the perspective of future generations, he will definitely think that person is a big enemy.

With 3 to [-] yuan, you can buy half a house.

Using the money to buy a house to buy a low-grade brick, haha, how stupid is that?

Moreover, the mobile phone is too bulky and is not as convenient as a small and exquisite communication tool such as a BP machine. It can be placed in a trouser pocket inconspicuously and low-key.

Well, Fang Bai can't afford a mobile phone, so he can't afford sour grapes.

But then again.

It would be really stupid to attach a BP machine to your belt. Fang Bai would never do such a thing.

Fang Bai rode his brand-new bicycle coolly, with a sunny smile on his face, blending into the lively neighborhood.

If you want to buy a BP machine, there are no BP machine stores these days.

Shopping malls or stores that specialize in selling electronic products, such as electrical appliance stores and digital stores, or business halls that provide fixed-line telephone services, usually have some BP machines for consumers to choose from.

Fang Bai found a BP machine for sale in a digital store. When he asked, he found that there was only one model.

That is, alphanumeric pagers, which can emit sounds or vibrations and display alphanumeric messages at the same time.

With this kind of BP machine, you have to call back to know the situation.

No Hanxian?

That is, it can display Chinese characters, letters and digital messages at the same time.

It is more convenient to know the content of the call without having to search for the phone in the street.

"Beauty, don't you have the kind that shows Chinese characters?"

"Sir, no, there are quite a few people asking, and you are not the first one to ask.

The most advanced one at present is this kind of digital display. With the early analog signal BP machines, users could only receive call signals and needed to call the paging station to find out the call-back number. "

"..."

Fang Bai instantly felt unhappy. Without Han Display, it would be much more troublesome to use.

It means using numbers to represent a certain meaning. For example, 520 means I love you, and 101 means the surname "Li". Many people have to look up the representative code to know the meaning.

It seems that Hanxian has not been developed yet.

There is none now, and it is estimated that the Han display machine will be released soon. The peak life of the BP machine is very short, and mobile phones will appear in a few years.

Do you want to buy it?

If you are doing business, you still have to buy.

Fang Bai chatted with the salesperson and finally paid for a Motorola BP machine.

The Motorola BP machine costs 1380 yuan, the network access fee is 600 yuan, the number selection fee is 300 yuan, and the monthly rental fee is 30 yuan. Generally, one year's rental fee is required.

Without monthly fees, one set cost 2280 yuan, which made Fang Bai feel a little distressed.

The phone fee is almost the same in every place, but the activation fee and monthly rental fee are very different. There may also be no fee for selecting a number. Fang Bai doesn't care about this. As a businessman, you have to let people take your money.

Then he was ripping off other people's money, selling TVs that cost less than 100 yuan for more than 1000 yuan. He was ruthlessly ripping off other people's money. It was almost a business without capital.

Therefore, Fang Bai just complained about the inconvenience of use.

His paging number is "127-1009527", an automatic station plus a manual station. Use a landline to dial 127 and the following 7-digit number. The landline number is directly displayed on the BP machine.

After buying the BP machine, Fang Bai left the digital store and put the BP machine on his belt.

At first, he thought it was silly to put it on the belt, but now it feels quite convenient.

And, very fashionable.However, he was not used to tucking his shirt into his pants, which seemed a bit unfashionable.

If he tied up his clothes, he could show off his BP machine, and the style of a successful person would naturally appear, which is better than wearing a Rolex or a gold necklace. After all, the public cannot recognize a Rolex, but a BP machine can be recognized at a glance.

Wow, this person has a BP machine, and his family is in business.

That’s what most people think.

After Fang Bai walked a few steps, he felt it was better to tuck his shirt into his pants.

He didn't do it to show off his BP machine, but he felt that it would be easier to blend into this era after tucking his shirt into his pants.

Everyone wears their BP machine tied up in their clothes and belts like this, so it’s hard for him to be different and incompatible with his surroundings.

When doing business, you must show your strength.

No, since he tied up his clothes, passers-by have looked at him more.

With a confident smile, Fang Bai rode his bicycle to Jiayu Processing Factory.

Qin Donghai was busy working. When he saw Fang Bai arriving, he wiped the oil on his hands with a rag and greeted Fang Bai with a smile:

"Brother, I haven't seen you for several days. I can't find you even if I look for you."

"I have some things to deal with these days. I just bought a BP machine. Please write down my number 1271009527. If you need anything, just call me."

"Okay, it's still a Motorola brand, and so is mine." Qin Donghai looked at the BP machine on Fang Bai's belt. The brand and model were the same as his own.

The two exchanged machine numbers and chatted about the production situation in the workshop.

Jiayu Factory will finish the Hengli Company's order tomorrow, and then start making the Burley Company's order.

My father-in-law said that it is difficult to recruit people now. Every factory is competing for skilled workers. Even if he offers a higher salary, they will not be willing to work the night shift.

He has only hired one driller so far, and is still recruiting lathe workers.

"Listen to me, pay more to recruit workers. Foreigners must have food and accommodation, and you have to pay more for the masters.

I estimate that wages will increase significantly after the Spring Festival next year. It’s the end of the year now. It won’t matter if the increase occurs a few months ago. If the workers leave and can’t find anyone to work, wouldn’t it be a delay in making money? I’ll get more orders. I won’t be able to finish them all. of. "

Fang Bai advised that now larger factories are developing wildly, unable to fulfill orders, and are vying for skilled workers.

Most of the local skilled workers in Wencheng work alone and rarely work for others. When recruiting workers, they usually recruit workers from outside.

My father-in-law is stingy with the local bosses in Wencheng, and his salary is sufficient, which is higher than that of factories in other provinces.

But other benefits are very average. Forget about weekends, you have to work overtime frequently.

It can also be said that in private enterprises throughout Jiangnan Province, workers rarely have two days off. Two days off a month is considered good.

The wages are high just because we can't recruit people and have no choice but to process the money. It's not a voluntary increase for workers.

The production efficiency is improved and the unit price is suppressed. It will not give you a particularly high salary, nor will it keep it particularly low.

There is also a good side: workers are rarely owed wages, the food in the canteen is relatively good, and they are willing to spend money on the factory.

But these are the most basic and enterprises should meet them.

Fang Bai has also considered that if he runs his own business, he will be a pure capitalist and a great entrepreneur, working hard to improve the welfare benefits of his employees.

He definitely prefers the latter, but it is still very difficult to achieve. The company must have very good profits, otherwise it is just empty talk.

After listening to Fang Bai's words, Qin Donghai thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, and said, "Okay, I'll talk to them."

He was afraid that after raising wages and recruiting new people, the old master's wages had not increased. When people found out, they would be unhappy and would change jobs.

Fang Bai is right. You can make money yourself, so why do you have to compare wages with other factories?

If you can't give me an extra [-], then give me [-] more. There will always be people who come here to work.

A worker can create thousands of profits for him every month, so it doesn't matter if he gives more to others.

The more you spend, the more you earn.
