Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Su Wanwan's leisurely attitude gave the young people in the factory more confidence.

"I just went to the village party secretary's office." Xu Yan suddenly walked in from outside the door, holding a stack of new newspapers in his hand. "The article about the last interview by the county propaganda department has been published in the newspaper and has been printed."

When they heard that the previous interview was indeed printed in the county's highest-level newspaper, the young people in the factory gathered around, all wanting to take a peek at the true face of the newspaper.

"Hey, here it is!" A sharp-eyed young man immediately discovered the location of their factory on the page.

"Isn't this the photo taken in our factory that morning? That white shadow, isn't that you?" Young men in groups of three or four took the newspaper from Xu Yan and compared them in their own small circles.

Su Wanwan also saw a glimpse or two from afar.

The editors of the newspaper actually reserved an entire page for her photo...

"Um...someone in the factory just asked when we will sell these things after they are produced." Seeing everyone looking at the newspapers and laughing, Su Wanwan took the opportunity to move closer to Xu Yan.

"In a day or two, we will finish the first phase of production. I will take the first batch of processed and produced materials out for sale the day after tomorrow. We will open up the channel first. When we become bigger, we can gradually let buyers come to us to buy."

Su Wanwan was secretly surprised that Xu Yan had thought so far ahead and was planning to expand the business.

In the next two days, with Su Wanwan's previous promise and the encouragement from the newspaper, the young people in the factory worked harder, so that the workload that would have taken three or four days was completed in just two days.

As soon as all the work was completed, Xu Yan fulfilled his promise and loaded all the goods and took them away immediately.

The next step was waiting time. With Xu Yan’s previous experience in purchasing raw materials, none of the young people in the village were in a hurry this time. Instead, they were extremely harmonious during the days when they were not working in the factory.

Two days later, Xu Yan returned with newly purchased raw materials and the money from selling all the products. He immediately unloaded all the raw materials outside the factory.

In the evening of the same day after Xu Yan returned, Su Wanwan organized all the people working in the factory to gather at the factory.

"Oh, the first batch of products from our factory has finally been sold." Secretary Wang was standing next to Su Wanwan, smiling from ear to ear.

"Yes, the process is not easy." Village chief Su Yang said with emotion.

"What about our salary?" An impatient young man in the crowd asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"Don't worry, the promised wages will be paid to everyone, but our factory is still in the initial stage of operation, so we can't guarantee that everyone's wages can be paid in full."

Su Wanwan spoke in a soft voice as she opened the small note in her hand.

This was the profit distribution plan that the two of them worked out immediately after Xu Yan came back.

"What does that mean?" some villagers questioned.

"What I mean is that our factory has just started, and the initial investment needs to be recovered. Moreover, this is an industry with low profits but quick turnover. Although we made money this time, if we use all the money to pay our workers, we will have no money to purchase raw materials next time. Therefore, we can only pay part of the salary this time, and then pay it out next time when we sell more. After that, we can make up for the previous amount."

This is exactly the same as what Su Wanwan claimed at the beginning.

The young people in the village below didn't know what Su Wanwan was going to do specifically, and were all waiting for her next move.

"Now, those whose names I have called out, please come and collect our first phase salary."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Su Wanwan opened another note and began to read the name on it -

The list in Su Wanwan's hand was not long. After she read out their names, the people lined up and came forward to take the small packages that had already been sealed from Xu Yan.

Many people were so happy that they could feel the bulging money in the small paper bag. Some people opened the small bag while walking back and found that there were more than five yuan in it after counting.

“Do we all get the same salary?”

After Su Wanwan finished reading the last name on the list, she quickly put the list away and put her hands behind her back.

He calmly watched these people who had received their wages happily splitting their small packages in front of everyone.

"Yes, all our workers who received wages received the same amount of money." Su Wanwan cleared her throat, "I will never deduct your wages because of any personal grudges. Everyone's income is recorded in the account book, clearly, and everyone can come and check it if necessary."

"If everyone has no objection, go home and have a rest after you get your wages. The second phase of the factory will start early tomorrow morning." Su Wanwan said this deliberately. After she finished speaking, she was about to walk back to the factory. At this moment, a young man in front of her who had not received his wages finally called out to her -

"Since we can give those people more than five dollars each at once, can't we distribute it evenly and give everyone a little?"

Obviously, this young man asked the same question as dozens of other young people who opened their eyes wide.

This is the moment Su Wanwan was waiting for.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me this suggestion earlier? The wages have been paid out, and the factory doesn't have enough money to run now, so I can't redistribute it to you."

Su Wanwan said this and shrugged her shoulders with a helpless look.

"What? No wages?" Yan Wenming, who was walking over from a distance dragging a wheelbarrow for taking out garbage, was the last one to know the news because he was so unpopular in the village that everyone else came to collect their wages.

Before I even reached the factory, I had already heard more or less what had happened.

"When did you say you wouldn't pay wages? Yan Wenming, I warn you, don't spread rumors! Go out and take a look. When so many factories started out, how could they use all their money to pay employees all at once? Shouldn't things be done step by step?"

"Don't tell me about gradual progress! I've been dumping garbage for your factory for more than a week!" Yan Wenming said as he tilted the wheelbarrow in his hand to the side of the house. "Secretary Wang and the village chief are here too. You must explain my salary to me!"

Yan Wenming, who had been looking forward to the day when he could receive the money, just stood beside the tricycle and did not move.

"You've come at the right time. I was just wanting to tell you that you have indeed helped our factory a lot, but we will pay you your salary after we finish selling the products in the next stage." Su Wanwan had already thought of a solution.

Secretary Wang and the village chief standing nearby simply glanced at Yan Wenming who tilted his head, and no one spoke for him.
