Chapter 76 How to feel happy

If you work in a profession for a long time, you will get some occupational diseases, and female garment workers are no exception. In addition to vision and hearing impairment, which are common problems for workers, they are also prone to diseases due to working in a fixed, mechanical posture for a long time. Upper wrist tenosynovitis, frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis.

In addition, in order to make clothing fabrics anti-wrinkle, urea and formaldehyde are used during the production process. Female garment workers often come into contact with fabrics during their work, and often suffer from eczema-like skin diseases on their hands and arms repeatedly.

In terms of people's attitudes and methods of dealing with minor diseases at this time, garment women who have worked for a long time will leave obvious residual characteristics of self-healing skin diseases on their hands, wrists, and arms, such as black spots, dark spots, or Red spots, erythema, etc., the skin color will also be obviously different from other places.

Xian Yaowen squatted at the door of one garment factory after another, judging the proportion of skilled female workers in a garment factory based on the characteristics of occupational diseases. He not only wanted to recruit a few skilled female workers, but also wanted to learn more about the garment industry and his colleagues in the garment factories. Condition.

From the beginning to now, his footprints have been to garment factories with more than 30 people. The garment factories that exist independently rather than attached to a weaving factory or a weaving factory are not too large, even if he plans to just start the transition. The scale of 200 people to be recruited in this stage is the leader in the garment factory industry. If the two workshop buildings are filled, China Garment will be a veritable giant.

This is very interesting. There is another plan taking shape in his mind. He has the idea to divide the cake of Hong Kong's textile industry between himself and the other two camps. His ambition is not big, and he only plans to eat 60%. Leave a healthy 40% to other companies.

Another small goal is about to come out, but we need to put it aside first and take the current path first.

He followed a few female workers he thought were good workers to a stall. After seeing them sit down, he walked up to them and gave each of them a business card. He described Chinese Garment Manufacturing as a paradise where they could eat for free. There is a canteen, a free medical room, a free nursery, a free shuttle bus, and very user-friendly working hours...

He gave them a sales pitch and invited them to visit Tuen Mun. If they decided to change jobs, they could give him a call directly.

He kept repeating this operation. Some people regarded him as a liar. Some people were willing to go to the construction site in Tuen Mun, but they could only have time after work in the evening. If he wanted to go to the construction site, he would make an appointment in three days. at eight o'clock in the evening, and reminded the other party to bring a reliable male companion. Just wait at the gate of the factory and a car will come to pick him up.

After much tossing, we negotiated more than a hundred intentions, and excluding those who backed out, there would definitely be dozens of National People's Congress candidates who were going to the Tuen Mun construction site.

Just like that, on this day of the Southern Lunar New Year, there were already more than 217 people who wanted to eat with Xian Yaowen. On the 1.5th of the twelfth lunar month, the simple workshop was put into use, and the second batch of apprentice female workers recruited from Shek Kip Mei was in place. With the total number of 3.1 female workers, Xian Yaowen has to pay wages to 3.3 workers. The monthly minimum wage expenditure is yuan. Plus other miscellaneous expenses, the monthly labor expenditure is approximately to yuan.

Xian Yaowen was so busy that his soles were smoking. He went to Kai Tak Airport to receive a small batch of sewing machines shipped by air. He divided the two hundred female workers into ten teams and temporarily appointed ten team leaders. The skilled female workers led the apprentice female workers to practice.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of skilled female workers, Xian Yaowen not only gave them "discipleship" subsidies, but also called the female workers together for consultation, and finally came up with a plan:
After the female apprentice works independently, she will pay half of her salary to the master in the first quarter, one-third in the second quarter, and no more money in the third and fourth quarters, but the factory will give the master a subsidy in the amount of the salary she should receive. One-tenth, after one year, all subsidies will be cancelled.

If you have rights, you will naturally have obligations. As a master, you will naturally be responsible for the mistakes made by your apprentices. If the clothes made by the apprentices are not up to standard and need to be reworked, the factory will only find the master, not the female apprentice workers directly.

I went to Kowloon Bus to talk about chartering a bus. Two Dynaudio A-type double-decker buses departed twice a day, morning and evening, running back and forth between Sham Shui Po and Tuen Mun at fixed times.

As soon as the news broke out, Xian Yaowen did not wait for Xian Yaowen to take the initiative to contact the weaving factory. Not long after it opened, the owner of the new weaving factory who was looking for customers came to the door. He had to take time to meet, negotiate prices, and take fabric samples for trial work.

The main purpose is to get some free fabric samples for the apprentice female workers to practice. There is no rush to discuss supply. He has no intention of relying on the huge demand to pressure a certain weaving factory to supply it exclusively at a low price. He needs to find at least three stable suppliers. , and one must be outside Hong Kong.

Even if this is not conducive to lowering costs, he still insists that putting eggs in one basket is too dangerous, and it is uncomfortable to be strangled by someone's throat. He wants to reduce the possibility of falling into such a situation as much as possible.

July 9, winter is about to pass and spring is coming.

Deyun Tea House is the same private room with a window on the third floor as last time. When Xian Yaowen arrived, Huang Zuqiang was already there, holding a piece of paper in his hand and looking attentively.

Huang Zuqiang, whom I haven't seen for a few days, is very different from before. His energy and spirit are different, and his dressing style has also changed.

When we met for the first time, Huang Zuqiang was wearing a long coat of coarse cloth that had been washed until it turned white, with cloth shoes on his feet. He looked slovenly and full of decadence. The last time we met to buy equipment, he changed into a refreshing and neat gown. Wake up a little more energetic.

This time, with his hair combed so meticulously that even a fly could not stand, there was a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, with "文" written on the left cheek and "Hua" written on the right cheek. "Drawing a circle, he is wearing a brand new suit, with a tie around his neck, a vest inside the suit, and a coat outside the suit, which is full of style.

Huang Zuqiang has a pale face, but after dressing up like this, his intellectual temperament can be seen at a glance.

Xian Yaowen sat down opposite Huang Zuqiang. Seeing that the other person still didn't notice his appearance, he said aloud: "Editor Huang, you look good. How about you change the pen name of Yi Zhi Bi to Yun Zhong He."

Hearing Xian Yaowen's words, Huang Zuqiang quickly put down the paper and wanted to stand up to say hello. Xian Yaowen raised his hand and pressed it to keep him from getting up. Huang Zuqiang sat down again and replied: "Mr. Xian, how dare I compare to Mr. Xu Zhimo."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. No matter how high Xu Zhimo's literary achievements are, he still can't cover up the fact that Gou Yisao is a wife. This incident alone shows his despicable character. Editor Huang, you are better than him. You don't let the bad wife fall when you have a lover." Hall."

Huang Zuqiang clasped his fists and begged for mercy, "Mr. Xian, don't bring up the old matters."

Xian Yaowen chuckled, "Let's get down to business, have you brought all the equipment back?"

A few days ago, Wong Cho-keung chose a building on Kimbalun Road in Kowloon Tong. Sin Yiu-man went over to see it. It was an old four-story building built at the beginning of the century, with a single floor of about 2800 sq. ft. and a 3200 sq. ft. courtyard. He liked it very much. , I went to the landlord to discuss the price.

Unexpectedly, when he met the landlord, he smelled a burning sour smell from his body, which was the smell of "chasing a dragon". If he looked closely, he could find traces of "walking by water", so he immediately stopped talking to him in person. Feeling elegant, he handed the matter over to Zheng Yueying and ordered him to try to lower the price as much as possible.

Zheng Yueying did things very beautifully and won a building worth more than 30 yuan at a "reasonable price" of 17 yuan.

"It has been assembled and debugged. There is no problem with the printing equipment. The performance of the two Graflex speed graphics cameras provided is also very good. The typewriter is also easy to use. There is no need to buy a new one."

"Editor Huang has done a great job in this matter. He managed to save a lot of money in one fell swoop for an old newspaper." Xian Yaowen praised it and then said, "What are your plans next?"

Huang Zuqiang said carefully: "The editors and printing staff are already in place. I have also contacted a few reporters. They are all friends I have met before. Because I am thinking about the New Year soon, I am not in a hurry to have them report, so that the newspaper can save some money. expenditure."

Xian Yaowen chuckled, "The progress of your work has exceeded my expectations. I originally expected that you would have to wait until the first month to inform the equipment staff to complete the work, so I decided to open the Lantern Festival. Since your progress is fast enough, let everyone Have a more relaxed and happy New Year.

I suggest that the staff who are not in place should be put in place immediately. Don't worry too much about a few days' salary. Prepare the New Year gifts. Don't be stingy. Prepare a little of each, including tobacco, alcohol, meat, seafood, dry goods, candies and pastries. Okay, I won’t include this expense in the newspaper’s operating costs, I will subsidize it separately. "

Huang Zuqiang nodded. Not only was he satisfied with Xian Yaowen's attitude, he also focused the topic on the real work, "Now that the equipment is complete, I plan to let everyone discuss the layout in the next few days, and then print a few sample copies. Come out and study it again, and strive to become an instant hit on the first day of release." Xian Yaowen said calmly: "The idea is very good, are there any specific measures?"

"The articles published in the Xianshi newspapers on the market are mainly short articles, and there are very few long articles. I plan to set up a serial column in "Thirteen Yao", specifically to publish long chapters of Xianshi articles, so that readers can't stop and buy them. Every issue of the newspaper.”

Xian Yaowen's interest was piqued, "Tell me more about it."

Huang Zuqiang looked embarrassed and said, "Still here, thinking."

Xian Yaowen did not feel dissatisfied. He had never expected Huang Zuqiang to be a prodigy in the newspaper industry and to be able to make Thirteenth Unit a prosperous business without him having to worry about it. He took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Would you like to listen to my advice?"

"Mr. Xian, please speak."

Xian Yaowen lit a cigar, took a puff, and said, "I will take Pu Songling as an example to talk about the characteristics of ancient vernacular novels that I discovered. First of all, without the halo of novelists, most novel writers would be in poverty. The scholar was depressed and frustrated. No one would care about him when he died. He might just be thrown into a mass grave with a roll of tattered mats.

When Pu Songling was 19 years old, he successively won the first place in the county, road and prefecture examinations, and became famous for a while. However, after that, he repeatedly failed in the provincial examinations. At the age of 3, he became a tribute student.

He failed in studying and working. He only worked as a muke for a wealthy family for a period of time in his middle age. This job was introduced to him by his in-law Gao Heng, who was a little far away. Without this relationship, he probably wanted to be a muke. It's a bit difficult for customers.

The rest of the time, he worked as a tutor in a private school in his hometown. If he hadn't written novels, we probably wouldn't have known about Pu Songling.

Let's talk about "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". I'm not qualified to comment on its literary value, but there is something criticized about it, that is, most of the male protagonists in it are poor scholars who fail to succeed in many trials.

As far as the prototypes of the Liaozhai stories I saw from a few miscellaneous books, the male protagonists include woodcutter, farmer, and member of staff, but there is no down-and-out scholar. It is impossible to say that these male protagonists are not created by Pu Songling based on himself.

Pu Songling lived a very failed life in reality. He had no money, and his wife was a yellow-faced woman. He couldn't take in as many concubines as he wanted, so he had no choice but to write down his dissatisfaction and daydreams about reality in his articles.

In Liaozhai, he is the male protagonist who will be greeted by beautiful female ghosts to add fragrance to his door. It is hard to say that those female ghosts are not ones he has seen in reality but cannot reach. In the article, he has them all. "

Xian Yaowen took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "That's all Pu Songling said. Let's talk about the readership of Liaozhai. There is no doubt that its readership is mainly composed of scholars who have not obtained academic qualifications. Most of them should also have no hope for life. A down-and-out scholar who found an official position.

Their life experiences are similar to Pu Songling's, and they can resonate with Pu Songling. Like Pu Songling, they also have similar daydreams, so Liaozhai shouldn't be too to their liking.

We can simply call this resonance a 'sense of substitution'. It is easy for the down-and-out scholars to imagine themselves as the male protagonists in Liao Zhai, and their wives probably only have the taste of sex in those days when they are fascinated by Liao Zhai. The pleasure of enjoying interesting things. "

"Puch!"

Huang Zuqiang couldn't help laughing.

"Back to the present, it is easy to find out who the loyal readers of the Salty and Shit News are. You can find out by spending a few days at a place where newspapers are sold." Xian Yaowen glanced at Huang Zuqiang, who was still laughing, and continued: “Find out who your readers are and analyze what they daydream about.

Become a tycoon?

Groups of wives and concubines?

The little girl next door’s first grown-up regret?

A woman who wants nothing but what she wants?

Do you have a favorite singer or movie star, and would you like to become the leader of your uncle’s group and get close to them?
What our thirteenth son has to do is to make their dreams come true, to make their daydreams come true. The daughter of a wealthy family, who disdains the pursuit of a rich man, only loves the man at the mahjong parlor. She loves him to the death, even if he is punched or kicked After leaving, I will also use my family's power to help my colleagues achieve a career.

In three years, in just three years, the guy went from being penniless to becoming one of the most powerful tycoons in Hong Kong. When Ho Tung and Chow Shous-chen saw him, they would call him "little brother" affectionately, "British..." Forget about the British. Writing about them is easy to get into trouble.

After becoming a tycoon, the guy became a debaucher, and nightclub singers, top dancers, and movie stars came and went at the drop of a hat. He tasted all the women in the world, but despite this, the rich lady was still infatuated with him and never changed. She doesn't stop him from living and drinking, doesn't stop him from marrying his concubine, but he also thoughtfully helps his concubine to have a confinement period.

The story can be made up at will, and readers can make up whatever they like. There is no need to consider rationality and logic. As for daydreams, there is no need to consider these things. As long as the readers can read it happily, as long as they become loyal readers of Shisanyao.

Just take my idea, fill in the plot, expand it into an outline and write it into an article. Do you think readers will like to read it? "

Huang Zuqiang nodded and said excitedly: "Readers will definitely like it. This article alone may make Thirteen Yao a hit."

"I've given you some ideas. You can find a writer to create it. It's okay to call it 'Thirteen Yao', or 'Is the Golden Scale a Thing in the Pool?' It doesn't matter if you think of another name. If you I decided to accept it. I only have one request. In the storyline of the guy making his first money in business, the element of playing mahjong must be added. He was able to make a business because he made a fool of himself.

In addition, it is best to create a catchy Thirteen Yao jingle, which should be linked to gambling and luck, and promote it, so that gamblers can use Thirteen Yao as a talisman or lucky charm, whether it is buying horses or buying horses. I bring it with me when I play cards, promote Pai Gow, and buy Chinese flowers. In order to cooperate with the promotion, I can find someone to put the jingle to music, record it and release it to the outside world. "

“Mr.

Xian Yaowen waved his hand, "Okay, there's no need to say any compliments. I don't like this, and you don't have to spend time on it in the future. I've already given you one suggestion, and I don't mind giving you one more. After reading this The Xianshi newspaper makes readers feel itchy. Those who have wives are easy to talk about, but those who don't have wives must either commit suicide or find a chicken stall to have sex.

Here is an opportunity for our Thirteen Ones to sell well and earn a lot of advertising fees. "

"What opportunity?" Huang Zuqiang asked eagerly.
