Chapter 75 The problem of going home for the New Year

On December 15th, the royalties were received.

Including monthly ticket rewards, this book's after-tax income exceeded 200,000 yuan this month, and there are still several thousand yuan more.

The two people each divided 100,000 yuan, and the remaining several thousand yuan was used as rent, water, electricity, and money for the two of them to go out to eat.

The money was in Chen Li's hand and was stored on another bank card. It was regarded as a shared treasury between the two of them.

After receiving his salary, Yan Xin used the money to buy stocks again like last month, the same four stocks.

He didn't care whether these four stocks rose or fell during this period, he just bought them.

He doesn't understand stocks. He only remembers the general trend. The market situation is not this year, but the next two years, especially the year after tomorrow.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the current price is high or low, as long as you can get it.

His small amount of money will not have any impact on the price of the stock, nor will it affect the stock market. Even adding two zeros will not affect it. He does not need to worry at all.

However, Yan Xin did not use all of the 100,000 yuan to deposit in the bank, leaving about 2,000 yuan for himself.

You don’t need that much money, but it would be better to keep a little more money on hand - in case of any emergencies?

After paying the royalties, Yan Xin found someone to buy a refrigerator.

What I bought was a refrigerator produced by a local refrigerator factory. The company had a security guard and fellow villagers working at that refrigerator factory, and there were channels to get bargains. So I spent four to five hundred yuan and bought a large refrigerator.

I spent dozens of dollars to hire a three-wheeler to bring me back to the rental house from Rongli.

The refrigerator was a good refrigerator, but it was stamped as defective by the factory's quality inspection department, and it cost four to five hundred yuan to dispose of.

This is difficult to do under normal circumstances, but the current situation at the refrigerator factory is that the boss of the home appliance company they belong to has been arrested, the capital chain has been disconnected, the management is in a mess, people are panicked, and everyone is

I want to take advantage of the last chance to make more money.

This is true for refrigerator factories, and even more serious for air-conditioning factories. There are employees and security guards working together to collude with outsourced garbage collectors to put large amounts of copper into garbage trucks and transport them away.

Spending four to five hundred yuan to buy a defective product is already considered quite disciplined.

Of the four to five hundred yuan, perhaps not even half of it can be reported, but this is not something Yan Xin needs to consider.

The refrigerator was so cheap that he even thought about buying one and sending it home.

Including the cost of mailing, you still make money.

After thinking about it for a moment, even if he sent it back, his father would not be willing to use it because of his frugal character.

So I gave it up.

It was already December, and winter had already entered even in Guangdong Province. Ai Lili gave Yan Xin a few more winter clothes. The excuse was of course that her friend didn't want clothes - she had even forgotten that she had told Yan Xin,

She has no such thing as friends.

And the clothes look new at first glance, even if the tags are removed, you can still tell that they are new.

This made Yan Xin a little funny and a little moved.

When I first came here, I was really poor, with more than 100 yuan to support me for more than a month.

But now that I have plenty of money, I really don’t need anyone to give me clothes.

However, the clothes have already been bought, and they are still men's clothes. It would be a waste if I don't accept them.

So Yan Xin still accepted it.

Aili asked Yan Xin if he wanted to take leave to go back for the New Year. Yan Xin's answer was yes - he wanted to go home for the New Year.

"Actually..." Ai Lili hesitated for a moment and said to him, "If you are in financial difficulty now, you can stay here to celebrate the New Year. You will get three times the salary during the three days of the New Year. There will also be red envelopes from the owner during the Spring Festival. In total, you can catch up.

That’s one month’s salary for you. When you go home for the New Year, the round-trip travel expenses and other expenses, plus the salary deducted for asking for leave, add up to at least one month’s salary less. Adding this together, you will lose two months’ salary.

Don’t you really think about staying here for the New Year?”

She told the truth.

It is true that you will lose some money when you go home to celebrate the New Year, and it can even be considered a relatively large burden for low-level migrant workers.

Some people go home to celebrate the New Year, spend all kinds of favors, and several months of work are wasted.

But for most Chinese people, going home to celebrate the New Year is engraved in their bones. Whether they have money or not, they have to go home to celebrate the New Year. Even if they have to stand all the way home, they don’t care, and they don’t care if they work for a few months in vain.

Probably for many migrant workers, only those geniuses who go home for the New Year can make them feel the warmth of family affection and feel that they are a living human being, not a machine on an assembly line.

In his previous life, Yan Xin did not go home to celebrate the New Year during the first few years when he started working. The reason was that it was not worth wasting money and he might as well stay in the company and earn more money.

The real reason is that he is very repulsive to his father. Family is also a cold place for him. Family ties are a huge negative for him. He is not as comfortable as staying with his colleagues at home.

But now he doesn't think so anymore.

The little money he lost during the New Year is no longer important to him, and even this job is no longer important to him.

Being able to go home during the Chinese New Year and spend the Chinese New Year with my father is the most important thing.

He said to Ellie seriously: "Sister Lily, I know you mean well. Money is indeed important to me, but going home to spend the New Year with my dad is more important to me. My dad is the only one at home.

I don’t want him to spend the New Year alone. I can still make money in the future, and there are not many opportunities left to spend the New Year with my dad.”

Ellie imagined that in a cold winter, in a dilapidated house, amidst the sound of firecrackers from other people's houses, an old man celebrated the New Year alone.

Then I felt that the scene was indeed quite miserable.

——Yan Xin’s father is actually only in his forties, and can only be regarded as a middle-aged man, but in terms of appearance, he is an old man, even older than the old man Ellie imagined.

He stopped persuading Yan Xin to stay for the New Year and said to him:

"In this case, then you can go home to celebrate the New Year. If your squad leader doesn't give you leave, come to me and I will give you special permission."

Every Chinese New Year is a time when property management companies are short of people.

Many people want to go home to celebrate the New Year, but security guards still have to be there during the New Year.

When the staff is full, only a few security guards have the opportunity to take time off to go home for the New Year.

Therefore, many security guards who want to go home for the New Year but cannot take leave will choose to resign at the end of the year.

——This is not a rare position anyway. At most, it won’t be difficult to find another job like this after the New Year.

The more security guards choose to resign, the fewer security guards will be able to take leave to go home during the New Year.

Many real estate companies have such a rule - they will not accept resignations after New Year's Day.

This will increase the cost of employees' resignation and give you more time to recruit employees.

In December, the company will do a thorough survey to find out how many employees want to go home for the New Year. If the problem can be solved by working overtime, then they will be granted leave.

If the problem cannot be solved by everyone working for twelve hours at that time, some employees who want to go home for the New Year will have to be persuaded to change their decision and stay in the community for the New Year, or wait until after the Spring Festival before asking for leave to go home, and give them a

The reason is that tickets are easier to buy at that time, and you can catch up with the spirit of the Spring Festival, and you can save some expenses on human exchanges.

If the persuasion fails and the person would rather resign than go home for the New Year, then he must prepare to recruit new employees in advance.

It is easy to get approved for leave at other times, but it is really difficult to ask for leave during the Chinese New Year.

When Ai Lili said something like this, she was opening a back door for Yan Xin.

At the same time, we also hope to retain Yan Xin to prevent him from resigning and leaving for this reason.

——I don’t want Yan Xin to be a security guard here all the time, but I don’t want him to leave so soon either.

This is Ellie's dilemma.
