Chapter 193 I wanted to take it slow, but it wasn’t allowed
Since Mr. Zhong was there, Wu Wei got off the ladder and walked over.
When he arrived at Mrs. Zhao's house, he paid New Year's greetings to Mr. Zhong.
Then Mr. Zhong said bluntly: "You are good at using talents! Sister Zhao is a national model worker. If your brick kiln factory cannot develop, I will be sorry to Sister Zhao first."
Wu Wei laughed, and he knew everything.
"Mr. Zhong, whether the brick kiln factory can develop depends on whether the people's living standards can be improved. And whether the people's living standards can be improved depends on the leaders in your county."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhong couldn't help laughing: "If your brick kiln factory cannot develop, the county is also responsible?"
Wu Wei said seriously: "To be precise, yes."
Mr. Zhong thought about it and couldn't find any reason.
But he would not take the blame on the spot.
He just smiled and threw it back, saying, "You kid, the Taoyuan furniture factory is in full swing. I believe in your ability for this brick kiln factory. With Sister Zhao in charge, it will definitely soar to the sky."
Good guy, this is quite full of words.
Wu Wei didn't expect this brick kiln factory to soar to the sky.
Old Zhong was also working hard to pass the blame.
Not only that, a moment later, Old Zhong led the team and couldn't wait to withdraw first.
After sending Old Zhong and others away, Wu Wei turned around and saw that it was already past one o'clock.
He immediately took Qiaoqiao back to his own courtyard and had a simple meal.
Although it was called a meal, most of the dishes were actually the New Year's Eve dinner yesterday.
The old and the young had a meal together during the New Year, and they didn't eat much at all.
After eating and drinking, people from Old Lady Zhao's side continued to come to greet and express their condolences.
Qiaoqiao wanted to go over to help greet them.
Wu Wei was bored staying alone, so he simply rode his bike back home.
Back at the fenced courtyard, the family was full of people.
Li Xiaoqin and Ma Ling were both there, as well as the children of the neighbors.
A room full of girls and children.
When Wu Wei came back, Xiuchun pulled her second brother into the east wing and asked, "Are we going to take our eldest sister back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year this year?"
Wu Wei suddenly realized.
Indeed, the eldest sister Wu Shuchun had not come back to ask for money for a while.
In this case, Wu Wei immediately decided, "It's too late to take her now. I'd better not take her. I want to see how long she can hold back."
After all, the name of Taoyuan Furniture Factory is now known to the whole county.
Wu Shuchun couldn't have been unaware of it.
In this case, the reason why she didn't come.
It must be waiting for her younger brothers and sisters to give her a reason.
That's impossible! This reason must not be given.
In this way, the Spring Festival passed quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the Chinese New Year.
Ma Jinbao brought his son Ma Haitao and gifts to the door in a grand manner.
Wu Wei didn't care about the sense of ceremony.
But Ma Jinbao treated it as a big deal.
This made Ma Haitao suffer.
He was so tall, and he kowtowed to his master in a proper manner.
After he kowtowed, he saw Qiao Yuyan next to him, and he kowtowed to his master's wife as well.
Qiao Yuyan was a grown-up girl, and she had never been to the door, so how could she withstand such a scene.
Wu Wei quickly helped Ma Haitao up, and said to Ma Jinbao who kept PUAing him: "Old Ma, just get the point, don't bother Haitao anymore."
Ma Haitao was as if he had been pardoned.
Although he was tall and strong, he was still young, and he was not yet an adult.
Then Wu Wei kept the Ma family father and son, as well as Ma Ling, for a meal, and the matter was over.
The God of Wealth was sent away.
While eating and drinking, it was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Wu Wei didn't stay in bed like he had been in the past few days, and got up early on purpose.
Because today is the day when Taoyuan Furniture Factory was established, and it is also a good day to start work.
After breakfast, Wu Wei rode his bike to the village office.
He saw two or three hundred people inside and outside the village office, crowded and spectacular.
After locking the bike, Wu Wei found Secretary Qiao and Fourth Master in the crowd, and asked after smoking: "Old Secretary, Fourth Master, there is such a big scene today, but is there any big leader coming?"
Secretary Qiao was stunned, and he was led astray by Wu Wei and said: "What? You want to find a big leader to support the scene? You have to tell me about this earlier, so I can arrange it..."
It was Fourth Master Qiao who understood it first, interrupted Secretary Qiao and said: "You saw that there were too many people today, and thought that Third Brother arranged some big scene?"
Sure enough, Wu Wei nodded.
Fourth Master Qiao exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled: "There are so many people, except for those idle people watching the excitement outside, the others are all people from our factory!"
Wu Wei was stunned.
Although he didn't say anything, Fourth Master Qiao also understood what he meant.
Then he explained: "Yes, I roughly estimated last night that there are nearly 200 people."
"Among them, the number of female workers at Xiuchun's side has expanded to 60 or 70 people. Almost all the young women and wives with skills in the village have been recruited by Xiuchun."
"The rest are carpenters, from all over the country, and I finally invited them."
The scale is expanding a bit fast.
Wu Wei immediately asked: "With so many more people at once, can our tool kit keep up?"
Qiao Siye nodded: "Don't worry, I have arranged it. According to the old rules, how much does an electric planer cost a day? Can there be a shortage of tools?"
Wu Wei nodded slowly.
This is okay as a stopgap measure.
But in the long run, the entire process still needs to be standardized to form an assembly line.
Otherwise, if Fourth Master Qiao only focuses on quality, he will not be able to control it when the furniture shipments increase.
Thinking of this, Wu Wei did not immediately raise the issue.
After all, whether the rise in furniture orders after the year can continue remains to be seen step by step.
Don't take too big a step, otherwise you'll be distracted.
What's more, in the carpentry and furniture industry, he is considered a semi-amateur.
Being conservative is not a bad thing.
Before long, the auspicious time has arrived.
Amidst the crackling sound of ten thousand earth red rings, Wu Wei and Secretary Qiao hung up the wooden sign of Taoyuan Furniture Factory wrapped in red silk, and at the same time tore off the red silk, revealing the five characters of Taoyuan Furniture Factory.
There was thunderous applause.
Taoyuan Furniture Factory was officially established.
After the brief ceremony, Fourth Master Qiao immediately arranged to start work.
As a result, when multiple electric planers were turned on, there was a loud bang and the circuit breaker tripped.
Fourth Master Qiao ran out in a hurry, but Wu Wei and Party Secretary Qiao hadn't gone far yet.
"The start of work is not going well, you said this is the reason!"
Wu Wei's heart moved, and he immediately thought of the key point: "Secretary Qiao, is it true that the transformer in our village cannot carry the load of so many electric planers in the factory?"
Secretary Qiao slapped his thigh, "80% yes!"
Fourth Master Qiao asked anxiously: "What should we do?"
"In this case, Secretary Qiao, you will immediately arrange for someone to go to the transformer to check the situation."
"Fourth Master, please see if you can optimize the process. Only turn on part of the electric planer, and then turn it on all the time. Don't start and stop repeatedly to avoid tripping due to excessive instantaneous load."
