Reborn in 1985, starting from a machine factory

Pickled cabbage noodles!

The method is similar to Li Guihua's, but the noodles here are just different.

It tastes especially delicious.

Erpang had already paid the bill and even asked the owner to add more meat. There were hardly any pickled cabbage leaves, but there was half a piece of meat.

Chen Gang didn't even look up, happily eating a bite of garlic and a mouthful of noodles.

Having finally eaten until he was about 80% full, Chen Gang looked up and said, "That fat guy who sells meat, his sister is quite pretty!"

"Really?" Chen Mo didn't even look up. "We were all classmates back then: me, Erpang, and his sister."

"Our family has never been very well off, but their family is even worse off than ours. The three of us can still get along well."

"When we really couldn't get any food, the three of us would share it and we could always eat until we were about 70 or 80 percent full."

"How come I didn't know?" Chen Gang asked.

"Can you know?"

"Brother, you've been selfish since we were little. Mom made three bowls of rice, and you could eat two of them in one go, leaving Mom and me to share one bowl."

"Chen Fen was still little then, and sometimes she would cry from hunger!"

Chen Gang paused for a moment, forgetting to even nibble on the garlic in his hand.

"Huh? Is that so?"

"Big brother, hurry up and eat! We have a lot of things to do after we finish eating!"

"It won't happen again!" Chen Gang whispered.

Chen Mo didn't answer; he picked up the noodles.

...

"Crackling and popping!"

"Crackling and popping!"

Red firecrackers exploded, sending red paper flying everywhere, and red flowers hung on the factory gate.

Everyone was beaming with joy.

Chen Fen even covered her ears while watching the firecrackers.

Chen Mo's face was also full of smiles. In any case, this matter had finally come to a conclusion.

Sun Dapao leaned against the wall, supported by Sun Erliang.

Seeing the factory and the people, he felt relieved, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Erpang stood to the side, holding a pig's leg with a red string tied to it.

My uncle and aunt were also there; my uncle had brought them over on a tricycle.

Li Guihua couldn't stop smiling.

Passersby and those startled by the firecrackers pointed and whispered in this direction.

She could see right through that look; it was envy!

I watched the firecrackers burn out.

My uncle treated it like a treasure, carrying a film camera out of his tricycle.

He shouted, "Everyone move to the center! When I count to three, everyone shout 'Red Star!'"

"Great!" Chen Mo shouted in agreement.

Chen's father, Li Guihua, and his aunt and uncle were in the middle, with the rest of the people surrounding them.

"One, two, three!" my uncle shouted.

"Red Star!"

The sounds were not in unison at all.

But everyone felt a flash of light in front of them.

"One more time! One more time!"

"one two three!"

"Red Star!"

"Alright, alright!"

Upon hearing his uncle speak, the people dispersed.

Chen Fen jogged up to her uncle and said, "Uncle, let me play with this!"

"No way!"

You can't!

"Oh dear, Uncle!"

"Stand still and don't move..."

Listening to the noise around her, Chen Rui pushed up her glasses. Ever since she started working, the craving for biscuits had returned to her face.

"Director Zhou, Chen Mo, let's have a meeting later."

"Who else do you think we need to send?"

Zhou Rui glanced at Chen Rui: "Old Liu, come over later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a person stepped out from the crowd.

The man had dark skin, calloused hands, and a dull look in his eyes: "Okay!"

"Brother Sun, come here too!" Chen Mo called out.

"Mom, brother, could you please help us look after these friends and auntie?"

Upon hearing this...

Erpang waved his hand: "No need to greet me, it's no trouble at all."

The younger uncle quickly stepped forward: "Chen Mo, don't run away, let's take some pictures by ourselves."

"Look at the picture I took of this lady, I guarantee it'll look amazing when it's developed!"

Chen Mo waved.

The factory has just started up, and there's so much to do that I really don't have any free time.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about these ten workers in front of us.

Even though they don't work here, they still have to be paid for the day.

Zhou Rui tidied up the room next to his office early on.

They even went so far as to hang a sign for the factory manager's office at the entrance.

Chen Rui didn't care and walked straight in.

Each person has a stool, and several people sit in a circle.

Zhou Ruigang took the cigarettes out of his pocket, but then quietly put them back.

Chen Rui held a notebook in her hands, the pages filled with notes. She cleared her throat:

"Since everyone is here, we need to clarify a few things to facilitate future management."

"I'll begin, please try not to interrupt me. After I've finished, we can discuss this further."

"Hmm!" The expressions on their faces all became more serious.

"The people here are the core members of all the work going forward."

"Let me give you a brief introduction so you can all get to know each other," Chen Rui said, raising her head.

"Zhou Rui, Factory Director Zhou, is fully responsible for the factory's production and technical work."

Zhou Rui nodded slightly.

"Sun Kang, Minister Sun, will be fully responsible for the sales department in Beiyang City from now on."

Sun Dapao stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Chen Rui turned a page in her notebook: "Engineer Liu, you just need to assist Factory Director Zhou. Now, let's look at the work arrangements!"

Chen Mo immediately looked up and lowered his voice, "Auntie, have you forgotten to return someone's money?"

"Our main work is divided into three parts: product manufacturing and product sales."

"Regarding the first part, Director Zhou, do you have any thoughts?" Chen Rui completely ignored Chen Mo.

Zhou Rui spoke up: "Director Chen, Lao Liu and I have both looked at it. The product is not difficult and does not involve complicated processing."

"We can provide the overall dimensions of the cardboard box to the cardboard box factory today."

"If the materials arrive, we can pack and ship them the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!" Chen Rui looked up. "Then the finished product will be ready the day after tomorrow!"

"Regarding production volume, Director Zhou, there's something you might want to consider?"

Zhou Rui's eyes were lifeless. He turned his face away and said, "You tell me!"

"We currently have ten workers. After deducting Engineer Liu and the person in charge of warehousing, we have eight people left."

"Could these eight people be divided into two groups? If the number of machines exceeds a certain threshold, how much will the commission increase for each machine?"

"Um?"

Zhou Rui immediately raised his head and looked at Chen Rui.

He worked in the factory for twenty years and heard about this kind of nonsense last year!

Workers' wages are not fixed, how can it be the same as doing business?

Such a utilitarian approach, forcing workers to work desperately, made him feel vaguely uncomfortable.

"Workers come to work to earn money; when workers earn money, the factory can produce products in less time!"

Chen Rui continued, "This is a win-win situation!"

"Excellent idea!" Zhou Rui exclaimed.

"My concern is that if we rush to increase production, we won't be able to maintain the quality."

"To be honest, the factory can't even test it now. We can only guess at the quality of the product!"

Chen Rui frowned: "Does Factory Director Zhou have any good ideas?"

"No, we can only do it first!" Zhou Rui raised his head and looked directly at Chen Rui.

That's the truth!

Chen Rui understood.

She maintained her faint smile: "Then I'll trouble Director Zhou to take care of this part."

"If we have the materials but can't make the product, I'll take full responsibility!" Factory Manager Zhou added.

Chen Rui turned her head: "Minister Sun, Chen Mo said he's already discussed the sales plan with you?"

"That's right!"

"I'll do this part!"

Sun Dapao answered without hesitation, then glanced at Zhou Rui.

"I just don't know if the factory will be able to supply enough for me to sell!"

Zhou Rui took out a cigarette but didn't light it: "Don't worry about it."

Sun Dapao turned his head away.

Chen Rui's expression remained unchanged: "Okay, Brother Sun."

"That's the third part: who repairs the defective products that are sold?"

"Simply put, who's going to take the blame?"

Zhou Rui wanted to speak, but after moving his lips, he turned his head to the side.

There will definitely be defective products.

If you buy a defective product, someone will definitely start cursing.

There aren't many people more difficult to please than this group!

"Is nobody here?" Chen Rui raised her voice.
