The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen opened his sketchbook, put a cross on the originally drawn floor plan, and told Xiao Zhao that this was invalid and I wanted to re-plan it.

Xiao Zhao said "Yeah" and nodded.

Zhang Chen closed the sketchbook and said to Xiao Zhao, "Let's go back early today and go there to have a look."

Xiao Zhao said yes.

When we arrived at the market gate, Xiao Zhao said he was going to buy vegetables. Zhang Chen said no, we will go to Sanbao Street to eat today and invite Zhao Zhigang and Caidi to eat with them.

Xiao Zhao still smiled and said yes. She felt that Zhang Chen now really felt a little bit like what Liu Ligan said, the feeling of getting rich overnight.

Zhang Chen saw Xiao Zhao smiling and seemed to understand why she was laughing. He said a little embarrassedly: "They have worked hard for so many days. They need to be rewarded."

"I know, let's go." Xiao Zhao still smiled.

The two of them arrived at Zhao Zhigang's tailor shop first. Zhang Chen and Zhao Zhigang said they would go there together to have a look and make detailed plans.

Zhao Zhigang thought to himself, what else is there to plan? Haven't we already agreed? The wires are pulled up and the machine is ready for use. What else is there to do?

But he turned off the motor, stood up and said yes.

Zhang Chen then told Caidi, "You don't have to cook anymore. When we come back, we can go to a nearby restaurant to eat together."

Caidi looked at Xiao Zhao, who nodded and said, go ahead, Guo Guo picked up money today.

"How many did you pick up?" Zhao Zhilong immediately became interested and asked.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao laughed.

There were three people on a bicycle, one of whom was pregnant. Xiao Zhao sat on the back seat of the bicycle. Zhang Chen patted the front gear of the bicycle and said to Zhao Zhigang, "Come up."

Zhao Zhigang shook his head and said, let's go, I'll run.

Three people in one car, one riding, one sitting and one running, arrived at their Meizhao Garment Processing Factory. Zhang Chen and Zhao Zhigang said, by the way, I forgot to tell you, the business license here is also ready.

Although Zhao Zhigang believed that setting up a processing plant did not require a business license, he was still very happy when he heard the news. With a business license, it would be a formal unit after all, and it would sound better to the outside world.

Zhang Chen took out the sketchbook from his bag. In fact, he had already thought about it very clearly and meticulously. Asking Zhao Zhigang and Xiao Zhao to come over was more like explaining his thoughts to them.

Zhang Chen told them while painting, I think the first and second rooms here will be used as sewing workshops. Now we can’t use both rooms at once, but I think this place should be completed first and then be renovated. Here, when the manpower is insufficient, we only need to move sewing machines and add people inside. It is very convenient and there is no need to worry about it again.

Zhao Zhigang said yes, if you have money, of course it is best to get it done in one step.

Zhang Chen continued to tell them that each workshop, I think, should not be too crowded. I roughly calculated that there are three machines in a row, a total of nine rows, which can accommodate 27 sewing machines. The last row, Put three edge binding machines.

Zhang Chen turned around and asked Zhao Zhigang: "Is it enough for twenty-seven workers to have three edge binding machines?"

Zhao Zhigang said enough.

"Okay, let's recruit twenty-seven workers for the first time and fill this workshop."

"So many?" Zhao Zhigang was surprised. Didn't he say that he would only recruit five or six people?

Zhang Chen smiled and said he was right, "If business gets busier, we will open a second workshop. In this way, we will have more than fifty sewing machines."

With more than fifty flat sewing machines, at that time, if it was not a foreign trade garment factory that made foreign trade orders, it was already a large-scale garment factory.

Zhang Chen felt happy when he saw Zhao Zhigang's surprised look. He wanted to ask him if this had reached your ideal of "just put a few dozen units in our factory and they would occupy a corner." Zhang Chen joked:

"How about it, Director Zhao, are you afraid of too many people?"

Zhao Zhigang's face turned red, and he nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, what am I afraid of? If you want to do it, just do it."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Yes, we just want to have a big fight."

Walking to the third room, Zhang Chen said, this is the cutting room. We want to make a six-meter-long cutting bed here, is that okay?

Zhao Zhigang said yes, six meters is very long, enough for cutting a coat.

The fourth room is still the big iron and the back room. The outermost part is the keyhole and the button, and the innermost part is the big iron. A three-meter table is made in the middle for them to wrap their clothes, place them, etc.

Walking to the adjacent room, Zhang Chen and Zhao Zhigang said, I will decorate this room, but it will not be a room for you to live in, but an office for you. As the director of the factory, you can't say that you don't even have a desk.

There is another two-meter-four table in here, which is as big as a whole nine-centimeter board. If I design it, it will be here, and you can also make boards on it. Is that enough?

Zhao Zhigang thought for a while and said, I don't need a desk. I work all day long. If I want a desk, I can lay out the boards and put the cutting bed there. It's big enough.

I think this place should be used as a sample room, with a sewing machine, a hemming machine, and a table as a small press. A sample worker will be arranged here. The things you design every day will be sent directly to the sample worker. If you do, you won’t be afraid of the noise anyway.

Zhang Chen felt that Zhao Zhigang's idea was so good that he really needed a dedicated sample worker so that he wouldn't have to worry about not having new styles.

Zhang Chen said yes, your idea is very good. What about letting Zhao Zhilong work as a garment worker?

Zhao Zhigang said yes, his skills are pretty good, and he must be strong as a sample worker. Also, if he is here, it is under your control. If he is in the workshop, it is not easy for me to manage him.

Zhang Chen thought to himself, this is true. A factory director and a worker are brothers. Even if you are a bowl of water, others will think you are partial. If Zhao Zhilong is a garment worker, then he will have to deal with himself every day. , which basically has no connection with the workshop.

Besides, I really need someone who can turn my weirdest ideas into reality. This guy Zhao Zhilong seems to really have this ability.

Zhang Chen and Zhao Zhigang said: "Okay, then this matter is settled."

Zhang Chen pointed to the left side of the drying area and told them that I would move the toilet location so that it would be more convenient for everyone to go to the toilet, especially at night. It would also be safe without having to walk such a long way.

"We planted a row of trees past the toilet, which effectively separated our place from the vegetable patch next to it," Zhang Chen said.

"What kind of tree to plant?" Xiao Zhao blurted out.

Zhang Chen looked at her and said with a smile: "Peach tree."

Xiao Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he smiled slightly.

"We plant the first row from here, and plant another row across the front, all the way to the roadside where we come in. In this way, although there is no wall on the side, it actually separates us from the surroundings."

Both Zhao Zhigang and Xiao Zhao said yes.

Zhang Chen then pointed to the right side of the drying area and said: "Here, we use insulated color steel plates to build a row of two-story simple rooms, put the bathroom and canteen on the first floor, and use the other rooms as staff dormitories. In this way, Even if sixty or seventy people can live there, this row of houses is equivalent to separating us from the vegetable fields over there..."

"Then this is the yard of our factory." Zhao Zhigang pointed to the drying area.

Zhang Chen said yes, that’s what I thought.

Zhang Chen had more detailed ideas that he had not told them. He was planning to repaint the house facing the drying yard, so that the entire factory would have a completely new look. He even wanted to make a house on the drying yard. There are tables and stools in the small garden where you can sit and relax and chat.

That day, the customer from Zhengzhou came to their booth and reminded him. He thought, after the factory is really established, there will definitely be many customers who will ask to come to the factory to have a look. What do they want to see? Let’s take a look at your strength. The number of sewing machines in the factory is an expression of your strength. The appearance of the factory is also an expression of your strength.

Zhao Zhigang and Xiao Zhao were very excited when they heard what Zhang Chen said and looked at his paintings.

"Okay, starting from tomorrow, I will take action and try to take it down in ten days." Zhang Chen said.

"Ten days, is that okay? You don't have anyone to work with." Xiao Zhao asked suspiciously.

Zhang Chen smiled: "I will find the people who will do the work tomorrow."

Zhang Chen said this while drawing and turned around again. He was still a little worried about the septic tank. After the toilet was moved, the septic tank still needed to be built. There was no other place to build the septic tank. Dig it down in the drying field.

Constructing a septic tank is their biggest project, and it is also the most time-consuming. Even ten days may not be enough.

"Big brother is here." Xiao Zhao shouted.

Zhang Chen raised his head and saw the landlord riding a bicycle coming in from that road.

After dinner, the landlord brother was going to someone else's house to play with Lao K. He passed by outside and saw Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao here from a distance, so he turned in to take a look.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao both called them eldest brother. The landlord got off his bicycle and asked, "Is this place ready?"

Zhang Chen said yes, I am going to find someone to start doing it tomorrow.

"This shabby house hasn't been used for a long time. Is it troublesome to make it messy?" asked the landlord.

Zhang Chen said, "Everything else is no trouble. It's just a septic tank. I still can't figure out how to fix it."

"What septic tank?"

Zhang Chen told the landlord that he wanted to remodel the toilet. When remodeling, he would need to build a septic tank. This septic tank was a bit troublesome to build.

The landlord laughed when he heard this and asked, "Do you think there is a septic tank in our village?"

Zhang Chen thought for a moment, and it seemed that there really wasn't.

"We are all vegetable growers here, and the feces and urine may look dirty to you, but in our opinion, they are all good things and no one is willing to waste them."

The landlord said, calling to Zhang Chen: "Come on, tell me where you plan to build the toilet."

Zhang Chen took the landlord brother to the drying yard near the front of the house and told the landlord brother that he was going to put it here.

The landlord pointed to the vegetable field outside the drying yard and said to Zhang Chen: "This land belongs to my uncle's family. I'll tell him and let him bury two heavy jars in the vegetable field near here." , you connect a pipe from the toilet and go directly into his tank, two tanks are enough for you, right?"

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up. This was really a good idea. If so, it would save trouble.

Zhang Chen asked: "But, will your uncle agree?"

"How can I disagree? I'm so happy. If this was my land, I would bury it myself. Didn't I tell you that this shit is a good thing for those of us who grow vegetables? This matter It’s all on me.”

"That's great!" Zhang Chen shouted. Unexpectedly, he was the first to solve the problem that troubled him.

The three of them returned to the tailor shop. Zhang Chen and Caidi said, let's go and eat.

Caidi looked at him and said, how about we eat some biscuits and instant noodles now to satisfy our hunger, and have a midnight snack later?

Zhang Chen understood that she wanted to use the time before ten o'clock to work on the sewing machine for a while. After ten o'clock, it didn't matter anyway.

Zhang Chen said yes, let’s take a taxi at ten o’clock and go to Hangcheng City and Fengqi Road to eat Sichuan Taste.

When Zhang Chen said this, the other four people all cheered. Needless to say, Xiao Zhao and Caidi, two people from Sichuan, Zhao Zhigang and Zhao Zhilong, two people from Jiangshan, are also very good at eating spicy food.

Red soup hot pot is their favorite.
