You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 190, Point 3

It's either at the end of the village, or at the beginning and middle of the village.

However, since most of the houses in the village are villagers' homes, the village entrance would be the most suitable place to build a house the size Zhao Zhongcai had indicated.

"Moreover, transportation will be more convenient in the future!"

"But the village entrance is all fields. Wouldn't it be a waste of the land to build a factory?"

Lu Yuanqing twirled the pen in his hand, listened to their opinions, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's build it in the village!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the debate turned to look.

Seeing that it was Lu Yuanqing who spoke, they swallowed back the objections that were about to burst out.

"Yuan Qing wants to build a small factory? There's not much space in the village center!"

Lu Yuanqing: "Of course there are! It's in the warehouse!"

"what?"

Everyone is puzzled.

Xia Jinnian guessed his thoughts, "You want to demolish the warehouse, fence off the surrounding land, and rebuild a bamboo ware factory?"

Everyone suddenly looked at Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Yuanqing nodded. "Actually, what's making things difficult for us is that we don't want to waste the land, right?"

Actually, Lu Yuanqing was quite happy, really!

I thought that since we'd made so much money this time, everyone would only care about making money and ignore everything else.

But judging from the way they argued, you could tell that they still valued the land very much.

How could Lu Yuanqing not be pleased?

“Food and land are the foundation of our lives in the countryside. Rather than wasting land for growing food, we should consider other places.”

"Moreover, the warehouse area is quite large. We could fence it off and build a reasonably sized, decent bamboo ware factory around it!"

However, this means the warehouse might have to be demolished!

Zhao Zhongcai and his colleagues didn't initially think of it this way, not because they weren't aware of it, but because they wouldn't consider demolishing something that was perfectly fine.

Now that I think about it, it's a pity to demolish such a good warehouse, but they were all unwilling to give up their good land for growing grain to build a factory, which is why there were these arguments. Now there's no need to argue anymore!

“Uncle Zhao, it will be May in a month. Everyone will be busy with farm work then, so time will definitely be tight. We can’t build it all by ourselves. You know a lot of people, so you must know a construction team. We can just hire people and, with the help of people from our village, we should be able to finish in time!”

Nowadays, when building factories, people don't think about building multi-story buildings. They just grab a large plot of land and build a single-story building. The space is large, there aren't many techniques involved, and it takes less time.

“Okay, no problem, I’ll take care of these!” Zhao Zhongcai assured him.

To reiterate, they have money and don't need to consider anything else.

If they don't have the money, they might just build it themselves little by little in their spare time, because they can't let the most important farm work be delayed!

Lu Yuanqing naturally believed him.

Zhao Zhongcai is a reliable person when it comes to getting things done.

"Then we need to talk about the third point!"

……

Everyone looked at him, waiting quietly for him to finish speaking.

Lu Yuanqing smiled at them, "Don't be so serious, relax, it's a good thing!"

Tsk t ...

That kid! Here he comes again!

This is what everyone is thinking at the same time!

Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips, and since no one responded, he continued, "The third point is that after our bamboo ware factory is officially built, we need to consider management, personnel, and salary and benefits!"

Except for Lu Yuanqing, none of them had ever worked a regular job; they had only ever done manual labor. They had no idea about the various management issues in a factory!

Everyone paused when Lu Yuanqing said that!

Yes!

Once the factory is built, how will they manage it?

How much should salaries be? It can't be the same for everyone!

What about welfare? How should that be addressed?

They wouldn't have noticed these various issues if Lu Yuanqing hadn't brought them up.

Even if they thought about it, they'd just think, "What's the big deal? It's the same as working! You get work points if you work, and you don't get work points if you don't work!"

More work points mean more money.

But how do you calculate work points?

For the same bamboo weaving handicraft, each step is different, and the level of hard work at each step is also different. How can this be calculated?

“We don’t know how to manage either! How about we ask Director Xing for help? See if he knows anyone who knows how to manage a factory, or arrange for us to go to other factories to learn!” Zhao Zhongcai asked tentatively.

Xing Shen was the highest-ranking leader he ever received.

He naturally and subconsciously wanted to ask the other party for help!

“That won’t do!” Zhou Ping frowned and objected. “If Director Xing finds someone to help us manage the factory, then it won’t be our village’s factory anymore, but the commune’s!”

Zhou Ping could see clearly that everything collective, whether it was the pig farm or the bamboo ware factory, had to be firmly held by the collective itself.

Director Xing is the director of the commune, not the director of Shihua Village.

When they finally finish building the factory, will they be able to recruit people from other villages?

Such a thing must never be agreed to.

"That's right, we can't trouble Director Xing with this matter!"

“That’s right. We built this bamboo ware factory with our own money. When we went to the commune to get the permits, we put the name Shihua Bamboo Ware Factory on it. This belongs to our village, and we can’t let outsiders interfere!”

"..."

Seeing that they understood, Lu Yuanqing didn't interrupt.

The reason their village is so united is because they are a collective with shared interests.

However, if people who do not belong to Shihua Village participate in the interests, the benefits they receive will definitely be greatly reduced.

Everyone has selfish motives. What if the factory manager isn't from their village, and he wants to benefit his own family?

"We can decide on the factory manager first. Lu Yuanqing is capable, and we have seen the brigade leader's contributions to the brigade all along. Therefore, we will choose the factory manager from the two of them!"

"That's right, they are both people who care about our entire village, so let's choose between the two of them!"

Lu Yuanqing was still lost in thought when he came to his senses and heard that he and Zhao Zhongcai needed to compete for the position of factory director.

Ignoring the expressions of others, and even less looking at Zhao Zhongcai's expression, Lu Yuanqing quickly waved his hand, "I can't be the factory director!"

"How can you not be one anymore? We've all seen your contributions!" Before anyone else could say anything, Zhao Zhongcai was the first to refute him.

The fact that their village can now live such a good life, build factories, and be so proud of it, which they can casually boast about, is all thanks to Lu Yuanqing.

"yes!!"

Others echoed his sentiments.

Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow, looked at Zhao Zhongcai, and said, "Me, the factory manager? Uncle Zhao, you can be the accountant? Perfect, I spend all day doing accounting, bookkeeping, and managing money. I was just looking for someone to take over!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhongcai's expression changed drastically. "No, this won't do!" This delicate work is just making things difficult for him.
