Liu Cuihong shook her head and said: "No, you first help me make tassels, knit concentric knots and so on. Start with the simple ones."
Aunt Cao was a little disappointed because she was not allowed to help make tablecloths. Making tassels was troublesome and time-consuming, and she couldn't make much money. This Liu Cuihong was really cunning. She gave her the difficult and cheap work and did it herself.
Easy and profitable.
"Oh." She responded, looking uninterested.
Liu Cuihong said: "Junjun's requirements are relatively high, so you should take your time first. Get the silk thread from me, make a tassel, and I will give you five cents for each knot. You will definitely be able to make dozens of them a day."
When Aunt Cao heard this: Oh, that's right. Decimal numbers are afraid of long calculations. It only takes a few minutes to make one, five cents and five cents, and twenty of them a day are worth one dollar.
She became happy again and hurriedly replied: "Okay, I'll wash my hands and come to your house to get the ingredients."
----
The neighbors were all about the same age. When they saw Aunt Cao running to Li Wenjun's house and bringing back a bunch of colorful silk threads and ropes, they all came to ask Aunt Cao.
"Oh, Master Jun, has he opened a new factory?"
Aunt Cao was afraid that others would compete with her for business, so she hurriedly said: "No, no, we two old aunts are bored and do some handicrafts."
Although everyone didn't believe it, they couldn't say anything after seeing the trick and had no choice but to leave.

By the time Li Wenjun arrived at the technical school, the warehouse had already been vacated.
They were all young boys of sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were all very strong. When they heard from the principal that there was money to be made, they became extremely motivated and moved the things out of the warehouse in three quick strokes.
He specially brought ten pieces of one piece and gave them to Principal Zhang, asking him to distribute them.
Principal Zhang sighed: "Thank you Comrade Wenjun, you have been a great help. These children have one month's living expenses."
Li Wenjun thought for a while and said: "I plan to set up a scholarship. For students with outstanding architectural drawings, the first place will be awarded 30 yuan each semester, the second place will be awarded 20 yuan, and the third place will be awarded 10 yuan."
Principal Zhang nodded frequently: "This is good, this is good. This way the children will have the power to learn." In fact, these children are a bit self-defeating and always feel that they are exiled and abandoned.
Li Wenjun understands this feeling. In fact, he was kicked out of a junior school and went to a technical school.
At that time, he felt that he had no hope in this life and had lost his light. Now that he thinks about it, there is nothing wrong with walking out of the ivory tower. Although the road is more rugged and difficult than others, he is more down-to-earth and more pragmatic.
Li Wenjun looked at the ground and smiled: "How about you send ten more people to help me clean this place, wash the windows, and sweep the floor, for fifty cents each."
-----
Those children earned their wages and were extremely active. They cleaned up the windows of two warehouses that were originally dark and dusty, making them bright and clear.
Li Wenjun is very satisfied. Children who come from poor backgrounds are more aware of the difficulty of life and will seize every opportunity they can, working harder than children who grew up with no worries about food and clothing.
In fact, he prefers to use employees who come from poor backgrounds.

Principal Zhang handed the key to Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun said goodbye to him and went back to the office.
A student asked Principal Zhang: "Principal, I heard that he is our senior."
Principal Zhang replied: "Yes."
Student A exclaimed: "Wow, he is so handsome. It would be great if I could be like him in the future."
Principal Zhang said meaningfully: "The suffering and setbacks he has experienced are beyond your imagination. The fact that he can stand up today is a miracle in itself."
Student B: "He is much better than that Wang Xiaoshan. That person will only use us in vain."
Principal Zhang said: "Yes, what Li Wenjun is today has a lot to do with his sincere and kind nature. And he has never lost his nature because of suffering and injustice. This is very important, please remember."
The students seem to understand but not understand.
Principal Zhang said: "Children, you have worked hard today, go and have a rest."
The students put their arms around each other and left with smiles on their faces: "You can go to the cafeteria to eat meat today."
"Yes, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Today I can eat all you want."
"I want to buy a new pair of shoes. It seems that the rubber shoes in the supply and marketing store only cost 50 cents a pair."
----
Li Wenjun returned to the office and breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew very well what Tao Guangming and Tao Guanghui were capable of.
Now that the warehouse is ready, he is no longer afraid even if Tao Guanghui and Tao Guangming move several mountains here.
Li Wenjun called Tao Guangming and told him about this.
Tao Guangming smiled: "You are so smart. I just have something to tell you."
Li Wenjun raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
Tao Guangming said: "I heard that the County No. 1 Middle School has agreed to contract the project to you. I guess I will ask you to sign the contract in the afternoon."
Li Wenjun smiled: "It's quite efficient."
Tao Guangming: "Of course. They are in a hurry to use it."
Li Wenjun: "Will you come with me this afternoon?"
Tao Guangming thought for a while: "It's not impossible."
Li Wenjun asked: "Do you know where construction machinery can be rented?"
Tao Guangming: "What kind of machinery do you want specifically?"
Li Wenjun thought for a while: "Now we can only have a bulldozer and a road roller, plus a few concrete vibrators."
Tao Guangming: "What does it mean to have the most? It's not easy to find all these machines, right?"
Li Wenjun said: "Well, okay, okay, you are the best. You have to start looking for a building materials supplier and train your followers to be foremen. This training can be done while construction is going on. The main thing is to find a good cement factory, high-quality river sand and
Pebbles. There are also wooden boards to use as formwork for concrete pouring. We also need to buy safety helmets, galoshes, and straw hats.”
Tao Guangming said: "Building materials are easy to talk about. I know the factories for wood, cement and steel bars. The key is sand, which is difficult to get. No factory production requires fresh fishing from the river."
Li Wenjun smiled: "So, last month I reminded you that I wanted to cover the river."
Tao Guangming was quiet for a while and then said: "So this is what you do."
Li Wenjun said: "A big part of the reason is this." In the future, the gradual development of this river will play a great role.
Tao Guangming thought for a while and said: "It's not necessary for you to cover the entire river for such a small playground."
Li Wenjun said: "Yes. And it can't be done now. The time has not come yet."
Tao Guangming murmured: "I always feel like you have a clear timetable in your mind. Everything that will happen in the future is on that table."
Li Wenjun answered half-jokingly, half-seriously: "You have seen all this. You are really imaginative and have a sharp eye."
Tao Guangming twitched his lips and said, "Li Banxian, come on, come on, you can figure out for me when I can get married and have children."
