Rebirth of the 80s New Farmer

Chapter 548 Xiao Jun Raises a Car
Wan Feng suddenly remembered something that his uncle had inadvertently mentioned last night.

"I heard that the second construction also cares about our bricks and tiles?"

"There is such a thing. They mainly want tiles but not bricks. Now the price of bricks and tiles has increased."

"Oh! How much did it go up?"

"Red bricks cost five cents now, and tiles cost ten cents."

In this way, bricks and tiles are interesting, at least half the profit can be achieved.

"Didn't say how much they can ask for?"

"The person who came to negotiate said that all the tiles will be ours in the future, and some of the bricks will be needed. Nephew, does our brick and tile factory need to be expanded again?"

After a year of production and constant adjustment of the tile formula during the production process, the tiles produced by Wahou Brick and Tile Factory not only have a good surface finish but are also very strong.

Hongya began to open a new road this summer, which is a street about four miles long from Erbai to the passenger station.

Therefore, several construction companies in the county seat have been full of various construction tasks since the summer.

Wan Feng also knew that after the opening of this new road, many shops, department stores, schools, hotels, etc. would be built around this road in the next few years, and later the passenger station would be relocated to the suburbs.

Bricks and tiles have a golden period of at least ten years without worrying about sales.

With such prerequisites, is it possible to expand the brick and tile factory again?

Wan Feng calculated the situation of the clay near the brick and tile factory. According to the current production scale, the existing clay can be used for 15 years. Now the brick kiln produces 140 million bricks a year. In 15 years, it can produce about 2000 million red bricks. In addition to digging at the junction of Nanling and Dongling, it is estimated that 500 million red bricks can be produced.

If it is further expanded to an annual output of 200 million, it can also be used for 12 years.

Twelve years later, it was 12. At that time, there were dozens of brick factories all over Hongya, and the brick and tile factories in Wahou happened to have no clay and could directly transfer to cement bricks.

"Yes, can we expand the six-hole kiln in that place?"

"That's it, at most it can be expanded once."

"Then let's arrange people to expand it, and it won't delay the production too much. By the way, the tile-making workshop will also be expanded, and the scale can be expanded to even [-] pieces a day."

Zhang Hai went to find someone to expand the kiln without stopping.

It is probably difficult for people who have not experienced the **** era to understand the meaning of these four words.

Even Wan Feng didn't understand that the era was over when he was born.

Although he didn't know what it was like for people to be so energetic in the Communist era, Wan Feng understood the meaning of this spirit from Xiao Dexiang and others.

The production task assigned at noon yesterday, Wan Feng saw the finished product today, two trailers of four-wheel tractors.

In one afternoon, the machinery factory produced two trailers, which caused Wan Feng to rub his eyes vigorously for a long time. He thought there was something wrong with his eyes.

The trailer is being painted, that blue paint.

"Uncle Xiao, your trailer is built too fast, right?"

"No, the wheels and axles are bought off-the-shelf. We just welded a carport, made a traction frame and put two stacks of bow plates. When we have a special wheel, we have to make the axle and hub ourselves. It’s slower, but it saves a lot of money.”

What Xiao Dexiang said is true. This set of tires and axles are integrated. It was originally used for horse-drawn carriages. In this way, the speed is guaranteed, but the cost is also high. The price of this set is 150 yuan.

If they can process it by themselves, it is estimated that this set of things can save at least 30 yuan.

This is not a small amount.

"Where's Zhang Hai?"

"It seems that I heard that I went to the commune this morning."

This guy must have gone to the commune to ask for a phone.

Wan Feng stayed in the machinery factory all morning, watching the people in the machinery factory make trailers until all three trailers were finished.

Wan Feng thought that another trailer should be built. For the first prototype, Wan Feng thought it was necessary to have a trailer to send bricks and tiles to the county town. Go out, it is better to keep it for yourself.

At least much faster than a carriage.

It was almost noon when Xiao Jun's tractor came back. Seeing Wan Feng standing at the gate of the machinery factory, Xiao Jun stopped the tractor.

Wan Feng waved his hand at Xiao Jun, and Xiao Jun got off the tractor.

"Do you plan to buy a car yourself?" Wan Feng asked directly when Xiao Jun came to him.

"Buy a car?" Xiao Jun asked suspiciously.

"The small four wheels from our machinery factory are now on sale. Are you interested in buying one for driving?"

"How much is it?"

"The normal retail price of a trailer with a headband is [-] yuan. If you buy it, I can give you a discount of [-] yuan."

Xiao Jun shook his head: "Hold the grass, spend three or 4000 yuan to buy this thing to play? Can't afford it."

"Of course it's not for you to play. You can choose the bricks and tiles from the brick and tile factory as you like, and send them to the county."

"You're right, but you get two per cent for a brick and three per cent for a tile. Even if these four wheels can hold a thousand bricks, it's only two yuan, and I only need six yuan for three trips on one set. You can’t earn back 2000 yuan even if you drink it, when will you be able to earn back the cost of the car?”

Wan Feng chuckled: "You forgot that the price of bricks and tiles has increased now, and the shipping fee will naturally increase accordingly. The shipping fee for red bricks is going to be adjusted to [-]%, and the shipping fee for tiles is [-]%. Let's do the math this time."

Xiao Jun calculated for a long time: "If I deliver bricks to the county three times a day, I can earn 15 yuan, and if I can earn [-] yuan by doing ten months of work a year, it seems interesting this time."

"Don't dream, there is such a good thing. There is a cost to maintaining a car. You don't get what you earn. You have to get rid of fuel consumption and mechanical wear and tear. According to the current price, suppose you earn 15 yuan a day. If you want to send out about five yuan, you can earn ten yuan a day."

Xiao Jun calculated for a long time: "It's okay to earn [-] a year, and the car is almost enough for more than a year."

Wan Feng nodded: "In spring, summer and autumn, you can work in the brick and tile factory, and in winter you can also do some private goods, about 3000 yuan a year."

Xiao Jun was obviously tempted, this is a business that can earn 3000 yuan a year, but then he frowns again.

"I can't have so much money even if I want to buy my house. This is three thousand four hundred yuan!"

Not having money is not a big problem.

"Go back and discuss with your parents. If they agree with you to buy and borrow, I will fill in the gaps for you."

"Okay, I'll discuss it with my parents when I get home tonight."

Wan Feng is not fooling Xiao Jun. From now on, owning a car is already a shortcut to getting rich quickly, but the premise of owning a car is that the car must have a job.

With the unique conditions of having a brick and tile factory in Wahou, it can guarantee Xiao Jun's work for at least ten years. Why not raise it? It stands to reason that he should raise a big cart.

But if he feeds the big truck, who will sell the tractor behind the depression?
