Reborn Industrial Tycoon

After get off work, Liu Tao worked overtime for a while and assembled an extra air fryer before returning home.

Assembling an extra air fryer will earn you 70 cents more. In rural markets, 70 cents is still a lot of purchasing power.

The village where Liu Tao lives is not far from the town. It's a faster walk and it only takes an hour to get home.

When Liu Tao returned home, his wife had already prepared dinner for him, including white flour buns and a plate of green vegetables.

After all, Liu Tao works in the town, and his income is much higher than that of ordinary farmers, so he can eat white flour steamed buns every meal.

If farmers are only engaged in agricultural planting, they will only eat sweet potatoes, corn paste and multi-grain flour steamed buns. White flour steamed buns can only be eaten when their lives are improved.

This is exactly the opposite of the future. In 2021, multigrain noodle steamed buns will be more expensive than white flour steamed buns, and those who eat multigrain noodle steamed buns are rich people who pay attention to the quality of life.

Liu Tao walked home for more than an hour and felt hungry. He picked up a big steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Master, please eat slowly. Is anyone trying to fight you? There is still something in the pot! I'll pour you a bowl of hot water."

Liu Tao's wife took a bowl of hot water, put it in front of Liu Tao, and then said: "Master, we are about to start planting crops. I will go and sharpen the sickle at home tomorrow so that you can cut the wheat the day after tomorrow."

Liu Tao swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and said, "No, I'm afraid you have to cut the wheat yourself this year."

"Why?" Liu Tao's wife quickly asked.

"I have to go to work. There are orders in the factory, but the production hasn't been finished yet!" Liu Tao said and took another bite of the steamed bun.

"Is it more important to cut wheat or go to work?" Liu Tao's wife looked a little angry and said, "At this time in the past, didn't everyone go home to cut wheat? No one would go to work in the factory!"

"This year is different. There are production tasks in the factory. Assembling an air fryer. Assembling one unit only costs 70 cents!" Liu Tao made a "seven" gesture.

Liu Tao's wife retorted: "So what if I have 70 cents? That can't delay the harvesting of wheat!"

Liu Tao then explained: "If I don't waste my time, I can assemble seven air fryers in one day, which is three yuan and five cents. Plus the basic salary of one yuan, I can earn four yuan and five cents!"

"Then it's important to cut the wheat! When will you not earn your four yuan and fifty cents? The wheat will have to be cut in these days. As time passes, the harvest will be reduced. Our rations for next year and the public grains handed over will be reduced.

We are all counting on this round of harvest!" Liu Tao's wife said.

"These four yuan and fifty cents are really not available every day." Liu Tao sighed and continued:

"The quantity of this order is limited, and it is decreasing every day. If someone else makes one more, I will make one less. Then others will make 70 cents more, and I will make 70 cents less. Do you understand?

?

If I come back to cut wheat and am delayed for a few days, I will apparently lose dozens of dollars in wages, but in reality my work will be taken away by others!

When all these orders have been snatched up by others, no matter how hard I work, I will have nothing left to do. By then I will really have no more than four and a half cents left!

And I thought, after the wheat is harvested, many people in the factory will go home to harvest the wheat. When I go to work, I will be stealing their work. When those people come back to see, all the orders have been taken.

I robbed them, they must be dumbfounded!"

Liu Tao's wife nodded in understanding, and then she said: "Master, we have to harvest the wheat, right? I am a woman, and I cannot do this kind of heavy physical work alone!"

"

Liu Tao thought for a while and then said: "You will give me ten yuan later. I will go to town tomorrow and buy two cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and two packs of candy. Let's go to my eldest brother and second brother's house."

, let them help our family harvest wheat!"

It’s obvious that Liu Tong, the “head of the family,” really can’t run the family, and all the money is in the hands of his wife!

…

During the awning season, in the golden wheat fields, farmers are busy harvesting wheat with sickles in their hands and bending over.

In the era of manual wheat harvesting, there was a "get up early and be greedy at dusk" policy. You must get up early in the morning and make preparations before dawn. Harvesting starts after about seven o'clock, usually stops at eleven o'clock in the morning, and resumes at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

The second wave of harvesting started and the work continued until dark.

The reason for this is that during these two time periods, the wheat is not too humid and is easier to thresh. If harvested before dawn or dark, the dew will be greater.

As for not harvesting at noon, the first reason is that the weather is relatively hot at noon, coupled with the sun, it is easy to get heat stroke when harvesting wheat; and the wheat straw is too dry at noon, and the wheat grains are easy to collapse automatically, making it difficult to return the grains to the warehouse.

In later generations, with the advent of a harvester, there is no need to worry about these things. As long as it doesn't rain, harvesting can be carried out.

In the farmland of Liu Tao's family, Liu Tao's daughter-in-law was working alone with a sickle. Liu Tao's two brothers would not come to help until all the wheat was harvested.

In another field not far away, Liu Liang stood up, stretched his waist, and wiped the sweat from his head. Only then did he realize that Liu Tao's wife was the only one in the field next to her, but she didn't look at it.

There is no trace of Liu Tao.

"Brothers and sisters, where is my brother Liu Tao? It's been almost all morning, why haven't you seen anyone yet?" Liu Liang shouted to Liu Tao's wife.

"My husband went to work in the factory early in the morning, and I am the only one in the field today." Liu Tao's wife answered.

"Going to work? It's already this time, why are you still going to work? Harvesting wheat is important!" Liu Liang paused, and then said: "Look at me, I didn't go to work in the factory today. I harvested several acres of wheat at home first.

! Please hurry up and persuade my brother tonight to come back and cut the wheat, and then go to work after cutting the wheat. This kind of heavy physical work cannot be done without a male laborer!"

Liu Liang is also a worker at the electric furnace factory, but he is obviously not as calculating as Liu Tao. Instead of going to work, he foolishly goes home to cut wheat.

Liu Tao's wife said: "I have also tried to persuade our man, but he said that if he assembles that pot in the factory, he can earn 70 cents per unit."

"Alas! Why can't my brother understand this truth? What's the use of earning an extra seventy cents? It's not as important as the harvest in this field! It's too late to harvest the crops in the field first, and then earn this money.

!" Liu Liang said.

"I also advised my man in the same way, but he told me that there are only so many orders, and once they are completed, they will be gone. If he doesn't do it, others will take it away. If he comes back to harvest wheat, it will be delayed for ten days.

After half a month, I might not have any work to do when I return to the factory!" Liu Tao's wife was also a practical person and directly relayed Liu Tao's words to Liu Liang.

After hearing this, Liu Liang's expression suddenly froze.

"Why didn't I think of this? I remember that there were less than 10,000 tasks left on the wall yesterday. If everyone else went back to work, but I wasted more than ten days at home,

When I returned to the factory, all the work was really taken over by others! It cost three or four yuan a day! No, I can’t continue to cut wheat at home tomorrow, I have to go to work too!”

…

During the awning season, this is the time to return home to harvest wheat, but in the workshop of the electric furnace factory, about 50% of the workers are still working.

Li Weidong walked around the workshop and nodded with satisfaction when he saw half of the workers.

At this time in previous years, there would probably be no one in the workshop, everyone would have gone home to harvest wheat.

"Weidong, your trick is really effective. Half of the workers have come back to work. In the past, during the pawn season, the whole factory had to take at least half a month off. If there are a few rainy days, I'm afraid it will take a month off!" Ma Zhongyi

He said with admiration.

Li Weidong smiled slightly: "Actually, this account is easy to calculate. Working in the factory will definitely make more money than going home to harvest wheat. They couldn't calculate this account before because everyone thought that the work in the factory was kept there.

It won't be lost, and it will be the same if you wait until you come back from harvesting the wheat before continuing to work. If you don't harvest the wheat then, you will suffer losses, so you must harvest the wheat first.

Now they realize that there is only so much work in the factory. If you don’t do it, others will rush to do it. When others finish it, you will not have anything to do. At this time, they will naturally compare it.

You can earn more by working in the factory, or you can earn more by going back to harvest wheat."

The next day, the work rate in the workshop reached 70%. It seemed that another 20% of the workers had figured out the calculation and returned to the factory.

On the third day, 80% of the workers returned to the workshop, and then the workshop's work rate stabilized at this number.

There are still 20% of workers who feel that going home to harvest wheat is more important than going to work to make money. After all, food is the most important thing for the people!

The 80% resumption rate is completely within Li Weidong's acceptable range. According to this production progress, this batch of export orders for foreign exchange earnings can be completed in July.

…

In the morning, Li Weidong was having breakfast when he heard a knock on the door.

Li Weidong walked over and opened the door, only to see Zhao Guodong standing at the door.

"Weidong, go downstairs and move your big Blue Bird. I called a big car, but it was blocked on the road and couldn't get in." Zhao Guodong said.

"Okay!" Li Weidong said, took the car keys, and went downstairs to move the car.

In the 1980s, it was impossible to have a dedicated parking space in the family area. Li Weidong usually parked his car in the family courtyard, near the roadside.

The road in the family's courtyard is not wide, so two small cars can walk side by side. But if there is a car parked on the roadside, a large truck will definitely not be able to get in.

Li Weidong followed Zhao Guodong downstairs and asked at the same time: "Director, why did you call the cart?"

"I want to move!" Zhao Guodong replied.

"Director, although you have been transferred to the Bureau of Land Management, the company has not said that it will take back your house, so why do you want to move?" Li Weidong paused and then said: "Is it possible that the Bureau of Land Management,

Have you been assigned a new house again? Is it bigger than our company’s house?”

Zhao Guodong shook his head: "The Bureau of Land Management said that they would build a family building, but they haven't even written it yet!"

"Then why are you moving?" Li Weidong lowered his voice and continued: "Is it really Zhu Shicong who wants to force you to leave?"

"You are overthinking this. After all, I am a cadre of the Bureau of Land Management. Even if Zhu Shicong dislikes me, I don't dare to kick me out." Zhao Guodong smiled slightly and said with excitement; "I bought my own house.

!”

"Buy a house?" Li Weidong was shocked.

"How about it, you're scared! Haha, I was also shocked when you bought that big Blue Bird, but I finally made up for it this time!"

Zhao Guodong smiled and continued: "I bought a house outside the south gate. It was built by the original farmers. It has three main rooms, a concierge, and a big yard! The disadvantage is that it is made of adobe, but it has been painted white.

Same thing!"
