Li Manjun's recycling station opened on the eighth day of the new year. Several recycling stations reached a tacit agreement and stopped last year's price war, and the purchase price returned to normal levels.
Li Manjun's price is still two cents higher than the market price. As for other shops, some have also added one cent, while others have kept the original price. Everyone is living in peace, and they have all ushered in the first wave of goods receipts after the new year.
The business in the store has been steadily increasing, and the happiest person is undoubtedly Yao Zhaowen.
I caught up with my girlfriend during the Chinese New Year, and now my job is saved, and depending on my boss’ wishes, I will receive bonuses in the middle of the year if I do well.
Now that he has a stable job and a partner, he is just waiting to save money to get married.
As for other jobs, Yao Zhaowen also thought about it, but finally decided to continue working at the recycling bin.
Because not all bosses don't mind that he has a criminal record, and will tolerate or even encourage him to read books and do research in his free time during working hours.
In terms of salary and benefits, there is currently no replacement for him.
When it comes to work freedom, Luman wins!
Besides, his boss has a certain structure, and if he works with her, he has a bright future.
On the first day the business opened, the two held a small meeting and roughly set this year's work plan and goals.
To sum up, it can be summed up in one sentence - Steady growth, while maintaining the basic market, try to develop other related categories.
Li Manjun has set a small goal for himself to earn 150,000 yuan this year.
The two of them set their sights on the large piece of wasteland next to the recycling station again.
Li Manjun held the rice bowl and stood in front of the window while eating lunch, looking at the land covered with grass outside the window, which was estimated to be more than 100 acres.
The wasteland is basically composed of grass roots and fine gravel. It has been abandoned because it cannot be cultivated.
Of the more than 100 acres of land, one-third is private land, and the remaining two-thirds are ownerless land under the jurisdiction of the government.
Yao Zhaowen had enthusiastically suggested that she rent this land to be used as a warehouse. Now after inquiring and learning that the remaining two-thirds were under the jurisdiction of the government, Yao Zhaowen said two words: "Trouble."
It will be very troublesome to deal with the government.
But Li Manjun has a plan in mind, and the warehouse is a part of it.
She wants to contract the garbage dump, but it seems that the time is not ripe yet.
With the idea in mind, Li Manjun often pays attention to the local news in Rongcheng, as well as the trends above.
It's true that she is a time traveler, but she hasn't been born yet at this time, and she can't predict everything.
Li Manjun only knows a general direction of development, but when it comes to specific provinces and cities, he still has to work hard to understand the details.
Fortunately, the business at the recycling station has picked up, and now she can earn a steady income of eight to nine thousand a month, which gives her a good confidence and allows her to plan the next step.
Qian Dongsheng, the deputy director of the cement factory whom he had contacted before, suddenly called Li Manjun and asked her if she wanted waste residue.
"What kind of rubbish?"
"Steel mill waste."
Li Manjun asked: "Are you free for an interview?"
Qian Dongsheng looked very busy, "Let's do this. I'll give you an address, and you can go meet the owner yourself."
Li Manjun could tell that he was very cautious and already knew in his heart that this was probably something that could not be discussed openly, so he asked for his contact information.
After hanging up the phone, Li Manjun suddenly thought that he should give Qian Dongsheng a New Year gift during the Chinese New Year.
However, she didn't send it.
At that time, Zhao Yong also asked her if Junda wanted to wholesale New Year gifts and whether he would like to bring her a few.
At that time, she thought about the relationship between the characters in her mind, and found that she had no relationship that could be maintained in the long term, so she gave up.
Who would have thought that the deputy director of a large factory like Qian Dongsheng would contact her again?
The call was answered suddenly. Li Manjun paused for two minutes and decided to go to the address given by Qian Dongsheng to see the situation first.
But her intuition told her that Qian Dongsheng should not trick her.
The contact address was in the local area. He told Yao Zhaowen that he wanted to go out. Li Manjun took his bag and went out on his bicycle.
She laid the foundation for half a year last year, and now there is no road in Rongcheng that she doesn't know. She rode for more than half an hour to the address given by Qian Dongsheng.
It's not a steel factory, but a worker community. It's working time now, and the workers are all at work. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be many people inside.
But Li Manjun pushed the car and walked in, and found that there were many workers downstairs in the community, gathering in twos and threes, chatting and bragging, or playing chess and cards, looking idle.
In the past two years, the performance of various factories has not been very good. Some are already on the verge of bankruptcy and are hanging on with their last breath.
But workers don't even go to the factory, and it's rare for the factory to be completely destroyed.
Li Manjun's entry attracted the attention of the workers in the community. A cheerful elder sister wearing a short-sleeved vest asked her: "Who are you looking for?"
Li Manjun took out the note in his bag, took a look at it, and approached the eldest sister, "Sister, does Zhu Yaowei live here?"
The nearby workers who were still playing cards and bragging all looked at her. Li Manjun couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but she tried to keep her composure on her face.
"Who are you? Why are you looking for him?" asked the short-sleeved elder sister Hu.
Li Manjun took out his business card and handed it to her, explaining: "I work for a waste recycling company. My friend introduced me here and said he had waste to sell, so I came to take a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, those suspicious and scrutinizing eyes suddenly became much gentler. The short-sleeved elder sister looked her up and down and motioned for her to come with her and read a book.
Li Manjun locked the bicycle and followed the enthusiastic elder sister to the staff dormitory. As soon as the two reached the stairs on the second floor, a young man wearing blue overalls walked down.
The eldest sister pointed at him and said, "Here, this is the person you are looking for."
After saying that, he left Li Manjun and left.
The young man in work clothes in front of Li Manjun looked like he was in his early thirties, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a scruffy hairstyle, and green stubble on his chin. At first glance, he seemed to be gentle and gentle.
But if you take a closer look, there is an uninhibited wildness in this man's eyes, quite like the kind of villain in the movie who is honest on the surface but sinister in reality.
If it weren't for Qian Dongsheng's personal recommendation, Li Manjun would never have dealt with such a person. Her little savvy is not enough in front of such a person.
"Are you Zhu Yaowei?" Li Manjun asked tentatively.
He scanned her up and down first, nodded, and walked downstairs.
Li Manjun followed him and handed over his business card. He took it and looked at it before returning it, "No need."
Passing by her parked bicycle, he pointed at the group of people playing cards and told them to watch and not to touch other people's things.
There were many older workers among them, but they all respected Zhu Yaowei and hurriedly agreed.
"Go directly to the factory?" Li Manjun asked suspiciously as he saw him walking out.
Zhu Yaowei turned around, nodded to her, and continued to lead the way.
Seeing that he didn't talk much, Li Manjun remained silent.
