Chapter 123 Getting Angry
After Li Gui left, their down quilt factory officially entered the start-up mode.
Zhou Zhengan has been very busy in the past three months.
The three factories are all under rapid construction, but the most annoying thing is the brickyard.
The work in the brickyard is hard and tiring, but fortunately, the brickyard can provide 1,500 jobs.
Who dares to say that they can recruit 1,500 workers these days.
When the recruitment notice was posted, the whole brigade was boiling.
The work process of the brickyard is very smooth, mainly because Liu Haidong is experienced. Although he is young, this factory director Liu came from a big factory after all, and he is quite good at managing 1,500 workers.
However, the problem that followed was the sales problem of their brickyard.
Everyone now doesn't know the reputation of their brickyard, and the bricks used by the surrounding brigades that need bricks, as well as the villages and surrounding units are fixed. They all use the products of the first and second brigades.
These days, all sales are public to public, and rarely involve individuals.
This kind of cooperation is a long-term cooperation. Once a cooperative relationship is formed, few people will break this rule.
At present, their brickyard has produced bricks exclusively. In addition to the bricks they use themselves, other bricks must be sold for money.
If there is no money, what about the subsequent construction of the duck farm and the breeding feed?
There are now 1 million bricks piled up in the yard of the brick factory.
But they can't sell them.
Zhou Zhengan frowned.
Some scattered small villages came to them to buy bricks, but a village only bought a few thousand bricks at most.
Some bought tens of thousands of bricks, but this did not solve their sales problem at all.
Zhou Zhengan called many units that needed bricks, but they were all ruthlessly rejected.
The head of the sales department said that they had signed contracts with the brickyards of the first and second brigades.
This kind of sales contract has legal effect.
In fact, it's bullshit. It's an excuse. Contracts and laws are not perfect these years, and most of them are verbal.
It's just a default way of rejection.
Zhou Zhengan also scratched his head with a headache.
Could it be that this brickyard can produce bricks, but they can't sell them? Isn't this a big joke?
Zhou Zhengan's mouth was covered with blisters because of this.
Jiang Yifan couldn't stand it anymore and ran to find Xia Zhi.
Of course, Jiang Yifan didn't think Xia Zhi had a market, but Jiang Yifan wanted Xia Zhi to make some porridge for Zhou Zhengan and comfort him at the same time.
Xia Zhi cooked millet porridge in the cave.
He put the millet porridge in a lunch box and made a coir raincoat with cucumbers.
Another lunch box was full of pickled cucumbers.
It was refreshing and appetizing.
He also made duck egg pancakes with duck eggs.
He went straight to the office with these things, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the office, he heard Zhou Zhengan yelling inside.
"How did you do this?
What are you doing?
Tear it down and start over."
"Captain, this will cost a lot of money. We don't have any money on the books."
"You can't do it without money. This will cause safety hazards. When the rainy season comes, there will be problems on the side of the dam.
If the dam breaks, do you want the villagers below to suffer from the disaster, or do you want to make our entire brigade six go without water?"
"Captain, if we have more money, I can't cut corners like this.
I'm not thinking about the team!"
"Are you thinking about the team now?
If you really think about the team, you won't do the project like this. This is called waste. Do you understand waste?"
"Now take your people back and tear down all the half-built ones for me."
"Okay, captain, I'll tear it down if you ask me to. I'll tear it down now."
"Captain, don't be angry."
The people inside came out with dust on their faces, and when they saw Xia Zhi, they turned around and left in a hurry.
Xia Zhi heard the sound of slapping the table in the room.
Still walked in with the lunch box.
"Your temper has been getting worse recently."
Xia Zhi actually understood Zhou Zhengan. All the things had been on Zhou Zhengan's shoulders recently.
The most important thing was that they could only digest and solve many things by themselves.
Outsiders were not able to help. Even if the city leaders valued Zhou Zhengan's personal ability, they would not interfere with the local economy because of their collective economy.
In fact, the Sixth Brigade was the busiest at this stage. The farming in the team was basically coming to an end, but the construction of the duck farm and the down quilt factory had just begun.
She had also heard recently that more and more bricks were piled up in the yard of the brickyard, but they were always unsalable.
Many people in the team were worried and talked about it privately. Everyone thought it was a strange phenomenon.
The first and second brigades were specialized in selling bricks. The supply was in short supply. Many people lined up there to buy bricks, but when they came here, there was no one to ask.
This was also the reason why everyone was full of confidence at the beginning, but now it was like being poured with a basin of cold water, cold from head to toe.
Originally, they thought that if the brickyard made money, they would all build brick houses in the future.
If not this year, they would definitely be able to build houses next year, but now everyone felt that they might have to live in the dugout for another ten or eight years.
The bricks could not be sold at all, which was very different from what they imagined.
After listening to Jiang Yifan's words, he knew why Zhou Zhengan was getting angry right now.
It’s not just because of these unsold bricks.
There was a big blister at the corner of Zhou Zhengan's mouth. At this moment, whether he was talking, drinking, or eating, the wound would be affected and the pain was severe.
Not only did he have big blisters at the corners of his mouth, but he also had aphthous sores in his mouth.
When he saw the summer solstice, Zhou Zhengan's expression finally softened.
"Xia Zhi, why are you here? Don't bring me food for the past two days. Sometimes I don't even have time to eat after it is delivered. I have to make you run."
Since knowing that Zhou Zhengan's food tastes bad, Xia Zhi has taken the initiative to take care of Zhou Zhengan.
At least they have a cooperative relationship now. The better Zhou Zhengan develops, the better it will be for him.
What's the point of delivering food? It's not a big deal.
"No matter how anxious you are or how angry you are, you still have to eat. People are like iron rice. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry. If you really starve yourself to death and get sick. Who will take care of these things? "
Xia Zhi placed the lunch box on the table and opened the lid.
Zhou Zhengan looked at the millet porridge in the lunch box, which was just right in thickness, and the coir raincoat cucumbers in the other lunch box. Just looking at the luster given off by the green cucumbers after being pickled made people feel a little... Great appetite.
"Oh, you came just in time. Let's eat and talk for a while. I just want to ask your opinion."
He had to admit that the Summer Solstice had played an important role in his mind these days.
Xia Zhi is smart and capable, bold and careful.
Moreover, his brain works very fast and he has a certain way of doing things. Compared to himself, Xia Zhi is more like his mentor.
