Chapter 418 There is a heavy reward (610.01 million)
As Cao Shujie picked up the wine glass, Cao Shuchao and the other 7 people also picked up the wine glasses, and they all clinked them together: "Cheers."
The 8 people drank a quarter of a cup together with the dishes that were just served.
After putting down the wine glasses, Cao Shujie motioned for them to eat.
He also picked up two pieces of beef, dipped them in garlic paste, put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly.
"Well, it tastes really good."
Listening to Cao Shujie's praise, Cao Shuchao and the others also nodded. The taste of the beef was really not exaggerated.
Cao Shujie can sell beef for 5 yuan more than others, and he doesn't just increase the price casually.
"At the end of the month, the strawberries in our orchard will be picked. Then we will have to be busy again. This year is better than previous years. We have enough staff."
Cao Shujie talked about his plan. The factory in the town had not officially started operations yet, but he could arrange some of the 62 people who had previously worked in the factory into the orchard to maintain order.
For ordinary people, it doesn't matter how tiring the work is if they only earn a living.
Cao Jianjun, Cao Shuchao, Zhuang Xuesong and others all thought the boss's idea was a good one.
Cao Jianjun, Yang Zhenshan and Zhang Bin guarded the breeding farm in the south and took care of 300 cattle.
Cao Shuchao took Zhuang Xuesong, Zhu Shengliang and Sun Baocheng to look after the entire orchard. There were 20 deer, 357 cows and 50 acres of orchard.
Four people just trying to get busy is a joke!
During strawberry picking last year, Cao Shujie hired more than 30 extra people to help take care of the orchard, and it was still very busy.
This year we finally don’t need to recruit additional people.
"Shujie, you haven't started advertising this year, right?" Cao Shuchao reminded him.
Cao Shujie nodded: "I'll start pushing it in the next few days."
"Well, we have to order another batch of pots or foam boxes."
Cao Shuchao thought that they still had a batch of unused pots with sieve holes in their orchard from last year, but the quantity was already very small.
And not surprisingly, this year's strawberry yield is higher than last year's, but that's it after picking. If you want to continue harvesting next year, you have to replace it with new seedlings.
While drinking, Cao Shujie also talked about his plan to expand the planting area.
"I plan to produce preserved fruits in a factory in the town. In this case, the amount of fruits we have now is far from enough. I plan to cover another area and use greenhouses to cultivate strawberries, which will have higher economic benefits."
Speaking of this, Cao Shujie remembered something: "Brother Chao, Uncle Jun, Master Zhuang, Master Zhu, and Master Yang, if you have any good ideas, you can tell them."
This is not over yet, he continued to increase the pressure: "If your suggestions are suitable, I will give you a heavy reward."
"As you know, when I speak, I mean one thing and two things, and I am never ambiguous."
Looking at the smile on Cao Shujie's face, Cao Shuchao, Cao Jianjun, Zhu Shengliang and Zhuang Xuesong, the four people who have followed Cao Shujie for a long time, all knew that what he said was true.
Sun Baocheng, Yang Zhenshan and Zhang Bin, who came here only at the end of last year, had heard Cao Shuchao and others talk about their boss Cao Shujie's character, but they had never experienced it personally.
At this time, I heard the boss Cao Shujie say that if the suggestions they came up with could be adopted, they would receive a heavy reward.
I don't know how "heavy" this is, but looking at the joy on the faces of Cao Shuchao and the other four, the three of them are also looking forward to it.
Cao Jianjun brought a wine glass to Cao Shujie for a drink, and the other six people also accompanied him.
Seeing that the dishes on the table were not moving much, Cao Shujie urged them to eat quickly.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the 8 people were almost ready.
While drinking tea, Cao Shujie suddenly said: "Let me tell you something else."
At this time, Cao Shuchao was so excited that he sat upright.
He remembered that Cao Shujie had said that he wanted to tell them something very important in the morning. Could it be this?
Cao Shuchao was thinking in his mind when he heard Cao Shujie's voice: "I said last year that we would raise or not raise wages every year depending on the business situation."
"Damn it, another raise!"
Cao Shuchao, Cao Jianjun, Zhuang Xuesong and Zhu Shengliang had this idea in their minds.
Yang Zhenshan, Sun Baocheng and Zhang Bin were a little confused. What did the salary increase mean?
"We raised wages for the first time last year, from 35 yuan to 40 yuan per day for 8 hours, and from 55 yuan to 60 yuan per day for 12 hours."
"This year, the daily wage for eight hours will be increased from 40 yuan to 50 yuan."
"The daily wage for 12 hours is increased from 60 yuan to 75 yuan."
At this point, Cao Shujie explained: "I have been busy around the Spring Festival, and I didn't have time to tell you about it. I just took advantage of my free time today, so I will tell you all about it."
After he finished speaking, the four of them, Cao Shuchao, Cao Jianjun, Zhuang Xuesong and Zhu Shengliang, all said in their hearts, "Fuck". This is not because they added too little, but because they added too much.
According to the salary increase Cao Shujie mentioned, if he doesn't take a break for a month, it is equivalent to 450 yuan more than his previous monthly salary, which is not a small amount.
At this moment, Sun Baocheng, Yang Zhenshan and Zhang Bin finally understood what Cao Shujie meant by 'salary increase' just now.
"It's unbelievable. An orchard owner in the countryside actually gave me a salary increase!" The three of them felt that their minds were a little confused, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
But it's not over yet.
Cao Shujie seems to want them to experience more excitement today.
He said: "Brother Chao, Uncle Jun, you also know that I bought a factory in the town, and I will buy equipment to start a big business."
"Now that we have opened a company, everything will be formalized. When the time comes, the orchards and farms will slowly be integrated into the company and exist as an independent part of the company."
Cao Shuchao and the others were still thinking about how to "regularize", and then they heard Cao Shujie say: "Next step, after the company's organizational structure is improved, I will consider buying five insurances for you."
"Brother Chao, how's it going? Is the news okay?"
After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he laughed and looked at the seven of them.
Cao Shuchao became excited.
He still remembers that when he first came to apply for a job in the orchard on the mountain, Cao Shujie said to him: "Brother Chao, let's make it clear first that I don't buy insurance here!"
Unexpectedly, less than two years later, Cao Shujie actually told him that he was going to buy insurance for them.
For a while, Cao Shuchao's mood fluctuated.
The other six people also looked directly at Cao Shujie. They had never thought about finding a job in the orchard, but they even bought insurance?
"Shujie, you said you want to buy insurance for us?" Cao Jianjun asked.
Zhuang Xuesong and the others also looked at Cao Shujie.
"That's right!" Cao Shujie told them: "But you must also be mentally prepared. If I buy insurance for you, after you start paying for it, the actual salary you receive will actually be several hundred yuan lower than it is now."
"The advantage is that when you retire in the future, even if you don't have to work, you can receive pensions like other retired workers."
After Cao Shujie finished speaking in one breath, he had nothing to say this time.
Cao Jianjun was straightforward enough. Seeing that there was not much wine in the glass, and the wine they had just taken was all emptied, he raised his hand and said, "Here's another bottle of wine."
After the others brought the wine, Cao Jianjun opened the wine and, starting with Cao Shuchao, filled the wine glasses for all seven of them.
There was still a little bottle root left in the end, so Cao Jianjun took the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
After putting down the bottle, he said: "Everyone, it doesn't matter who you are today, let's toast the boss together, seven of us."
"Thank you for what he gave you today. The seven of us cannot do such ungrateful things."
"Dry!"
"I did it!"
…
The eight of them separated. Zhuang Xuesong was going to go on duty in the mountains. Cao Shujie was really worried that he would go on duty after drinking alone, and arranged for Cao Shuchao to go with him.
When he returned home, Cheng Xiaolin was waiting for him in the living room.
Seeing him coming back, Cheng Xiaolin handed him a glass of honey water: "Look at the way you drank. You drank two more pounds of horse urine. You don't know what your last name is."
"Drink the honey water quickly."
"Hey, I didn't drink too much." Cao Shujie was still emphasizing.
Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "Yes, you didn't drink too much. Just drink a glass of honey water and your mouth won't be bitter."
Cao Shujie curled his lips, but still took the cup and drank the honey water inside.
Feeling better in my stomach.
"Why did you drink so much?" Cheng Xiaolin was still confused.
Cao Shujie said with a smile: "I'm happy. I'll give them a wage increase today. I also told them that when the factory becomes regular, I will also buy insurance for them. Everyone will be protected when they grow old, and I am very happy!"
"You can't ignore your health. It's only allowed this time. It won't happen again in the future." Cheng Xiaolin emphasized.
Cao Shujie swore to God that he would drink less in the future.
But Cheng Xiaolin didn't believe him and said to him: "Shujie, you swore like this the last time you were drunk."
"..." Cao Shujie felt that he couldn't survive this day, why did this girl keep holding on to his pigtails.
Just when he was thinking about arguing with his wife, Cheng Xiaolin had already run towards the second floor.
"Shujie, if you can, quit drinking."
…
On the other side, after Cao Jianjun returned home, he told his wife Jiang Hongying that Cao Shujie wanted to buy insurance for them.
After hearing this, Jiang Hongying felt that this was not true: "How is that possible, Jianjun, aren't you drunk?"
"What's the benefit of lying to you?"
Jiang Hongying was right.
But she still felt something was wrong: "You just went to his place to plant gardens, why did he buy insurance for you?"
"Isn't it good to buy insurance? When I can no longer work and retire, I can still receive money even if I don't work. Do you think that's right?"
Jiang Hongying thought for a while and asked him: "Jianjun, help me ask if Shujie is still recruiting people? How about I go work too?"
"Just don't go, as long as one of our family can go."
Cao Jianjun said to her: "If you also go to work in the factory, who will take care of our fruit trees when they bear fruit?"
"That's right, let's do it like this, you work hard at Shujie's place, and I'll keep the house in order..."
