Training the Heavens

Chapter 86 Work Release
"Jialin, if everything can be like today, then when we return to Gaojia Village during the Spring Festival, our family will be able to build a new kiln." In the big house, Gao Jiawang couldn't sleep either. Sitting on the sofa, he imagined the beautiful scene of returning home in glory. "When the time comes, I'll ask Uncle Yuhou for help. His craftsmanship is really amazing."

"This is just the beginning. When electricity is available in the village in the future, we can buy a TV and a washing machine for our home, so that our family can live a comfortable life like people in the city." Gao Jialin smiled. The yearning for a better life is the same no matter what era.

"That's right. I wonder when our village will have electricity. It should be soon, right?" Gao Jiawang's mind flashed with the scene of his parents sitting in the threshing yard and the whole village coming to watch TV with them. It would be great if that day really came.

"You should write a letter back and send some money home, and ask Uncle Yuting to talk to Uncle Yuhou as soon as possible. Now there are more people going out to earn money. If someone else gets there first, you will have to find someone from other villages, which is not as convenient as Uncle Yuhou." Gao Jialin reminded.

"Well, I'll write it now." Gao Jiawang turned over and sat up.

"Don't be so anxious. You've been tired all day. It's the same if you write tomorrow. When work starts, we'll invite the projection team to show movies right at your doorstep to make it lively." Gao Jialin asked Qian Xiangdong not to show off just now. That's because the furniture factory is in Shanghai. It would be troublesome if he aroused jealousy. If he showed off in his hometown in northern Shaanxi, could they come to Shanghai to complain?

He also had another plan. "When someone asks you what you do in Shanghai, just say you work for someone else. If you see someone who's hardworking and wants to make money, take them with you."

The furniture factory business is so good. If it continues like this, it will have to expand soon. It may not be appropriate to recruit all the people from outside. It will be more reassuring to bring a few people from my hometown. Once these people make money outside, their parents' lives in their hometown will be better. Whenever there is something happening at home, these people's parents and brothers will rush to help.

As long as these people are willing to work hard, Gao Jialin will give them opportunities. There is no need to talk about nepotism. It is stupid not to use people who know him well from his hometown and to use irrelevant outsiders.

Nowadays, we are still in the early days, and there are many things that are done without following the rules. Without a group of trustworthy people to help manage it, the business will not last long.

"I know that those who like to cheat and only care about themselves are not suitable. Let me think about who is suitable. How about Jiasuo? He has been educated, can recognize words, learns things quickly, and has good character. He will go to help anyone in our village who has problems. And Ma Gui, he is your elementary school classmate." Gao Jiawang counted on his fingers.

"These are indeed good. When the time comes, ask them privately and ask them not to spread the news, otherwise you won't have a peaceful New Year." There are fewer hungry people in the village now, but it is still difficult to find ways to make money. If this gets out, the threshold of their house will be broken by the people rushing in.

"I know, I definitely won't tell those big-mouthed people."

After chatting for a while, Gao Jialin went back to his room to sleep. Gao Jiawang lay in bed, gradually becoming sleepy, and soon he fell asleep. He dreamed that he was returning home with bags of gifts, his father's illness was cured, and the family was happily celebrating the New Year. The table was filled with chicken, duck, fish and meat, and everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil.
When they woke up in the morning, they first went to deposit money and then met up at the furniture factory. Gao Jialin gave the workers bonuses and said, "Our factory has had a good start, and everyone should share in the joy. If business is good in the future, bonuses will definitely be given. If you can sell all the inventory by the end of the month, I will also give you money."

The workers were all smiling, carefully put the money away, and hurried back to the workshop to work.

Before they had been busy for long, someone came over. They went out to see that it was the same people who bought furniture yesterday. They didn't bring enough money yesterday, and they still hadn't bought a lot of the furniture they wanted. Today, they took a leave of absence from work and went to withdraw money with their passbooks early in the morning. Then, they came to buy furniture as soon as possible. The four of them were busy again, quickly taking these generous customers in to choose furniture.

When counting the accounts in the evening, today was still a great harvest, but this time Gao Jialin was not in a hurry to distribute the money. He still had to go to school, so he didn't have time to distribute money every day. Yesterday was the first time he made money, so he gave some to everyone to reassure them. From now on, he would only need to distribute it once a month.

Xie Chao and Qian Xiangdong had no objections. If you give them the money now, they won't be able to spend it carelessly. Besides, they can't go to the bank every day to deposit money, right? Once a month is enough.

"Jialin, I've heard about several villas recently. I'll help you find out the details later." Having made so much money, Xie Chao became more motivated to work. He also estimated that with the current profit rate of the furniture factory, Gao Jialin could definitely afford to buy a better villa.

Hey, I make a lot of money, right? Why don't I get a house for myself? This big house is so much more comfortable than the small apartment the company gave me.

In fact, Xie Chao's thinking was still too conservative. He thought that making furniture could bring huge profits. Gao Jialin gave him 10%, and gave so many bonuses and commissions to Gao Jiawang and Qian Xiangdong. He could only keep 20% to 30% at most.

However, the furniture that Gao Jialin took out were not ordinary furniture. He sold them as luxury goods, and the profit could be at least doubled. Even if he gave them so much, Gao Jialin still made a lot of money.

These furniture are expensive, but there are many wealthy people in Shanghai. With the current production capacity of furniture factories, as long as they can be produced, there is no need to worry about sales.

All the customers are brought in through Xie Chao's relationships and referrals from old customers. Ordinary people have no idea about it and don't have to worry about being reported. This is what it means to make a fortune in silence.

After a few years, when people become more knowledgeable, there are more competitors, and the furniture factory's profits decrease, it will be time to change tracks. With this group of well-trained people, it will be easy to do any business.

Time quickly came to the new January. After this month, it was time for winter vacation. The students of Pujiang College also became nervous and began to prepare for the upcoming final exams.

Gao Jialin also reduced the frequency of going out. He had taken too much leave recently, and had fallen behind in his studies and student union work. He had to catch up quickly, otherwise the teacher would have objections.

I spent a few days going through my roommates' class notes and attended a few student union meetings. Before I knew it, it was the fifth day. "Mengya" is published on the fifth of every month, which means that Gao Jialin's new work is finally going to meet readers.
