Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1510 Processing Plant

After Ye Yaodong finished his work in the Magic City, he came back and continued to be busy with things in Zhou City. He was busy all day long.

The typhoon came and all the fishing boats returned. Finally he had some free time and breathed a long sigh of relief.

When I was a child, I looked forward to typhoons to bring cooler weather, but I was also afraid that the house would leak due to typhoons. Now I am secretly happy because I can finally have a good rest for a few days. However, I won’t make any money if I rest, so I have conflicting feelings.

The workers did not hide their joy. After working so hard at sea, they were just looking forward to going ashore.

Now, except for weather reasons that are not suitable for going out to sea, basically their large ships will not go ashore. Making money is important.

The fishing ground has a lot of fish and there are various fishing seasons throughout the year. The daily income is a huge sum, not to mention the high expenses for the workers.

The ship captains would rather grit their teeth and work harder with the workers, and go out to sea every day to earn money, and are reluctant to take a rest. The expenses outside are no lower than those at home.

You may not earn much or much, but your expenses are fixed. Of course, you should avoid taking a break if you can and earn more.

The campsite was also rarely fully staffed, with a large group of people noisy all day long, making it extremely lively. A large group of people were coming in and out, and there were always a bunch of people talking downstairs.

Ye Yaodong was also worried that there would be chaos if there were too many people. Every year during typhoon days, there were fights everywhere in the city, and many of them participated because they had idle energy and nowhere to vent it.

People nowadays don’t speak Mandarin very well, so there are communication barriers. Everyone likes to greet other people’s mothers all the time, which makes conflicts more likely to occur.

Besides, these people were so exhausted at sea that they had to eat some meat when they got ashore.

Every time he took a break, he would repeatedly tell them not to go in or out alone, and that there should be at least three or five people, otherwise they would easily get into conflict with others and suffer losses.

There are many people around me, at least someone can take care of me, and if anything happens I can come back and call for help.

If he wasn't the boss, he wouldn't bother to care whether they fought to death or not.

Especially on typhoon days, not only they take a break, but all the fishing boats on the sea also take a break, the streets are full of idle people, and some entertainment venues are extremely packed.

Even when they wanted to go out for a different midnight snack at night, there was nowhere to sit as every place was packed. They had no choice but to go home and ask the canteen to cook a few dishes for them.

Even though he specially bought a loudspeaker and hung it at the gate to play the music in a loop, reminding people not to go in and out alone, but to stay in groups of three or five and pay attention to safety.

But every day there are people who have conflicts with others, and come back swearing at others, and fights happen every now and then.

It's like this every year, and I'm used to it. I'm also glad that they have so many people. During the rest period, there are always at least a hundred people in the base camp.

In case someone gets into a conflict with someone else outside, just one person can come back and shout, and a large group of them will rush over. At most they will suffer a little loss at the beginning, but they will be able to fight back later.

It was all thanks to the loudspeaker he was hanging. Even if people were fighting, they would be careful not to cause any casualties.

And because there were so many of them, even if the other party called for people to come, they would be scared away by the number of people participating and standing guard, and would not dare to get close. Naturally, those who came early could only suffer together.

Similar incidents happen almost every day in every corner of this place. The Public Security Bureau is unable to handle them all and is helpless unless they catch the perpetrators in the act.

The serious cases continued to occur intermittently until November, when they decreased a little. But that was only relatively speaking. All the serious cases that should have happened still occurred.

During the intermittent rest period over the past few months, the group of people in their camp also made a name for themselves and were called the Baisha Gang...

Some outsiders know that they have a base camp here, with four or five hundred people living there, all from a place called Baisha Village, so they are particularly united.

Ye Yaodong was also somewhat amused and confused when he found out.

What's worse, after fighting so many times, their sense of collective honor has been developed.

Everyone almost shaved their heads so that they could have a symbol.

It was also because of his father, who, one evening while enjoying the cool air, mentioned to everyone that a few years ago they had shaved their heads in Vancouver in an attempt to intimidate the locals.

So some people suggested that everyone should just shave their heads. After all, having hair makes you feel hot in the summer, and you wear hats in the winter, so it doesn't matter whether you have hair or not. It also saves you the money of getting a haircut every one or two months.

Fortunately, he was there at the time and rejected it outright, otherwise everyone would have started to make a fuss and he would have had to shave his head the next day.

Shaving their heads is too easy. What if someone shaves their heads and pretends to be them? Then everyone will have a bald head and they will never be able to wash themselves clean even if they jump into the Yellow River.

What's more, if you have a conflict with someone on the road and a fight breaks out, and there's a bald guy on your head, and that person wants revenge afterwards, and when he sees a bald guy on the road, he will gather a group of people and you won't even know how you died.

It was easy to become a target and harm innocent people, so everyone gave up the idea.

There were hundreds of these people in this large group, and every time Ye Yaodong took a break, he felt more tired than when he was working. He would rather they all stayed at sea, as this would be the easiest way and could also make money for him.

When the weather turned cooler, he finally felt relieved and much more relaxed. He no longer had to manage people. He just had to take care of the deliveries and the construction of the new processing plant.

By November, the construction of his other 11 mu of land was completed. He even had someone paint the wall next to the factory gate blue and wrote "Dongsheng Processing Plant".

Although it hasn't started yet, it already looks like it's in good shape.

All the land belonging to him was fenced off, with a two-meter-high wall. Only half of the land inside was used: a large factory workshop, a dormitory building against the wall, and several warehouses.

Except for the factory building, the other two are surrounded by walls, so this piece of land is still quite spacious. The factory building is also built relatively far back, and when you enter through the gate, there is a large area in front of it that is empty.

This is also designed to make it easier to park large trucks.

His big truck was a little crowded at the base camp. After all, there were already three tractors, which took up too much space.

The ground here was leveled last, and after that it was considered completely completed. He planned to let it dry for a few more days and then drive the truck here to park it.

By the way, we also arranged for two people to come here to work in shifts and look after the factory.

As for the large dryer, he asked the factory to arrange for it to be delivered as soon as it was produced.

The processing plant here was not fully completed at that time, but the factory buildings and workshops had been built, so there was no problem with stacking.

This was also something he had planned and arranged in advance, just for the sake of the machine, so that there would be a place to put it when the goods were delivered.

The entire factory looked clean and tidy after it was completed, and it looked well-presented. Just looking at the area it occupied, it was larger than most processing plants.

Nowadays, most processing factories are small workshops run by their own family. They also build a shed at the back door of their house, or a simple house on a vacant lot.

Any factory that can seriously build a factory like this is considered a large factory.

He originally just wanted to build a small factory, but then he thought that since he had already built it, he might as well fence off all of his land to avoid any hassles if anything happened.

If we cordon it off now, no one will dare to occupy it, and it can also prevent outsiders from looking in and out directly at the door.

The outer wall is equivalent to setting up a threshold access control.

As for the idle places, just leave them idle. It would be best if they can be put to good use. But if they cannot be put to good use, he will not suffer any loss because it is still his land.

The people who need to be recruited must also be put on the agenda as planned. This is very simple. The last thing the local area lacks is people, and his supplies are ready-made.

Ye Yaodong was so busy with this matter that he was dizzy. He didn't have any professional people on hand, and he was a novice and was very confused.

I still invited people to go to entertainment venues. When I met some laymen, I chatted with them for a while and talked about my recent situation and headaches. Only then did things take a turn for the better.

"What you are talking about is that you are just lacking an experienced manager?"

"Isn't it? I also posted a notice saying I want to recruit, but the people who come to inquire are all workers who want to work. It's not that easy to find experienced candidates to manage a processing plant, and few of them change jobs. I'm now thinking about where to recruit people without offending anyone."

"How can you poach people without offending them?"

"You know a lot of people. Do you have any way to get me an appointment? Someone who knows production arrangements. I can offer a higher salary than other factories."

"I'll ask and give it a try. Most people who run a processing factory start from a small workshop by trial and error, and work their way up little by little. But you have made it big in a short time."

"I've worked in a small workshop before. I have one at home, right? So I skipped that and did it all in one go. I can do it myself, but I have a lot to do. From afternoon to night, I have to deliver goods and maintain customer service. There are too many things to do, so I want to find someone who can share the burden."

"Okay, I'll ask you."

His work during this period was not in vain. When delivering goods to processing factories, he would learn about the situation in passing, or he would specially visit some familiar bosses to find out more.

All the customers for shipment have been contacted, and we are just waiting for the processing plant to start production and shipment.

Recruiting people, arranging production, shipping, and managing personnel is a complicated process and he cannot handle it all by himself.

He has to hire people to do the work, otherwise he won’t have any sleep and 24 hours in a day won’t be enough to do the work.

You can't risk your life just to make money, you have to hire people when necessary.

There was no way he could deal with the delivery of goods. He was not comfortable handing over large sums of money to others, so he gave it to his nephews. However, they were too young and inexperienced, so he had to take care of them for a while longer and he could not completely hand it over to them.

It's just that when it gets busy occasionally, he'll let them deliver the goods in smaller quantities by separate tractors, which is more efficient. At this time, he'll instruct them to collect the payment.

This also needs to be slowly let go, and by next year, he thinks he can hand it over to them entirely. He only needs to arrange one person to coordinate and distribute the goods to each company, and then send them to deliver the goods and collect the payment.

That way he could sit at home with his feet up, waiting for them to deliver the goods, hand over the payment to him, and give the documents to Old You.

The makeshift team is still being gradually improved, but it is already taking shape and is slowly building up the team.

Ye Yaodong clasped his hands together and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Otherwise, I might be so busy that I might die suddenly at any time."

"You can run around here, but you still died suddenly?"

"How can I come here to have fun? I am clearly here to do business and entertain guests. It's not that easy to make money."

"Then you really need to find a few more people to share the burden."

"We have a lot of people on hand, but we lack technical talent. You're a local and have a wide network of contacts. Please ask for me."

"Don't be ridiculous. I know a lot of local people, but you know a lot of bosses. You can also ask some bosses to introduce you to some people. They all do different things anyway."

"I have asked someone, but there is no sign of him anyway."

"Then wait for the news."

"Ah."

He can't completely rely on others to get it done himself.

Whenever I have free time, I go directly to various factories and copy down their factory rules.

The task of recruiting people was naturally given to Chen Baoxing.

He also selected some logistics staff who were idle at home to work as temporary workers to experiment with production using the machines first.

Several things are done at the same time.

By the time we recruited people, it was not until December that the factory actually started production.

Ye Yaodong has lost a lot of weight, but on the day the factory opened, he was full of energy and was the most energetic one.

The bosses of the friends he knew were also very supportive. Hundreds of them came to show their support, sending couplets, ribbons, banners, flower baskets, and countless fireworks, which filled up the factory gate.

This also shows that his socializing over the past few years was not in vain, as his circle of contacts has expanded a lot.

In addition to these boss friends, there was also a large group of his own workers. Except for those who went out to sea, the rest came, including dozens of new workers recruited by the processing plant.

There were also some villagers nearby who were attracted by the excitement.

Hundreds of people gathered at the factory gate and watched him cut the ribbon and give a speech. This was also a rare highlight in his life.

Naturally, he also arranged for people to take photos.

After completing the necessary procedures, the workers filed in and went to their respective jobs. This was done before the business opened, with people recruited, jobs arranged, and production tried out.

You can get started right away as soon as it opens today.

Ye Yaodong handed over all the work in the factory to the newly hired manager Qi Yonghua and director Yan Dawei. One of them was introduced by a layman and the other was found by him himself. Naturally, the financial department was also fully equipped.

It is hard to say whether it will work or not, but the initial arrangements have been made and you can do it first. As for other scattered positions, we will make arrangements later.

Anyway, now he can free up his hands and avoid going through so much trouble.

All things are difficult at the beginning, but once the beginning is done, the rest will naturally be much smoother.

He also greeted his guests and took them to visit his processing plant.

At the same time, he also set up 20 tables for dinner at Fatty's newly opened restaurant to celebrate the smooth start of his processing plant.

I will have a midnight snack and continue writing later. I may not be able to finish it. If not, I will continue to make up for it tomorrow.
