After smoking, Tie Jun stamped out the cigarette butts and walked to the clothing street. Lao Scar's bed was much cleaner. Knowing that the goods would arrive in the next two days, Lao Scar and his brothers were selling the goods.
Sister Wang widened the bed, asked someone to build a fitting room, bought a few plastic mannequins, and waited for the underwear to arrive so she could witness the miracle Tie Jun said.
Seeing Tie Jun coming, Sister Wang and his wife also came over to talk. After discussing the selling price of the clothes after they arrived, Tie Jun and Lao Scar went out to the billiard hall to find Jia Guangming.
It was almost noon when we arrived at the place. The three of them went to the noodle shop next to them and ordered three bowls of noodles, two side dishes, and a bottle of beer each.
"Guangming, have you chatted with your third uncle?"
"Come on, my third uncle said that whether he is a contractor or not, he will be considered as a shareholder, and he will accept any profit or loss."
Tie Jun is actually not willing to cooperate like this. After all, there is a layer of relationship between them. It is better to make as much money as possible, but now, this is the only way.
"Okay, we will meet with my third uncle later and we have agreed that we will first produce a batch of simple and profitable pants."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Start early and make money early. If you want to do it, don't wait! Haiyan, thank you!"
Haiyan is Haitang's sister, and she runs this noodle shop. She was a good sister-in-law to Tie Jun in her previous life, but Tie Jun was a little distracted.
"Guangming, learn from it. The army is full of work. If you had led us for two years, we would have become rich."
Lao Scar said something and stood up to help Haiyan carry the side dishes. Tie Jun winked and thought it would be good to give them a squeeze, as they both knew the basics.
"Old Scar, just take care of yourself. You are a bright man and have a strong family background. How can we compare!"
Jia Guangming squeezed his triangular eyes and sighed, "Just talk to me!" Lao Scar brought the side dishes, and Haiyan came over and put down a head of garlic.
The students were still on vacation, so not many people came to eat noodles at noon. Haiyan did nothing and sat at the table next to her to read a pictorial.
"Haiyan, why haven't I seen your sister in the past two days?"
Jia Guangming tilted his head and looked at Haiyan, "You don't have to ask, I'm going to be a mother!" Haiyan continued to flip through the illustrated magazine and replied lukewarmly.
Haiyan firstly doesn't like Jia Guangming, and secondly she doesn't like her sister's lowly pursuit of the navy, so she has this attitude.
"Oh, the old lady in the navy is really annoying. Dajun, why don't we go and take a look?"
Haiyan's words reminded Jia Guangming that Hainan's father was the deputy mayor, and he couldn't even try to curry favor with him.
Tie Jun was not thinking about the old navy lady, he was thinking about his future mother-in-law, and he didn't know what he was doing these days.
"Da Jun, you two have a good relationship, so you should go take a look. I'll buy some things later and go for a walk together."
"Oh, okay, after dinner, we will go to the quilt factory first, and then go to the navy's house."
After the meal was ready, Haiyan went over to meet him. Tie Jun kicked Lao Scar, who quickly followed him.
"Haiyan, let me do it!"
"Come on! Why, you were blackmailed by Brother Tie once, and you learned your lesson?"
There are many students from Xiongjiu Middle School in this area, so Haiyan naturally despises them even more. The last time the Tiejun clashed, she ran over and watched the excitement for a long time.
"Sister, judging from what you said, it's necessary. I'm hanging out with your brother Tie now!"
After watching Haiyan and sitting down to read the pictorial, Lao Ba took the tray and put the three bowls of noodles away. Instead of sitting at his own table, he sat across from Haiyan.
"You? Who believes it?"
"Hey, sister, if you don't believe me, ask your brother Tie!"
Just when Tie Jun was about to say a few words for Lao Scar, Haiyan snorted and said, "I don't ask anyone. I just pay for meals. I'm not interested in knowing anything else!"
"Okay, come back and eat!"
Jia Guangming leaned over and patted Lao Scar. Lao Scar came back with a face and sullenly eating noodles, looking like a waiter in an old state-owned restaurant.
The three of them finished their meal quickly. Lao Scar said that he was not going and that he was not familiar with the navy. Tie Jun and the other two did not try to persuade him and walked away while Lao Scar wandered to pay the bill.
"I think Lao Scar has a chance, as long as he doesn't rob those students again!"
As soon as he went out, Jia Guangming said with a smile. Tie Jun didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
They went back to the billiard hall to get the car keys, and the two of them drove on the road. It took them half an hour to reach the quilt factory, which was quite far away in Xiangfang District.
The big old iron gate, the dilapidated factory building, and the yard were full of potholes, making it look like it couldn't survive.
The old doorman was listening to the radio with his eyes closed. He didn't even know that the car was getting in. He parked in front of the small gray-white office building on the second floor and the two of them got out of the car.
"Hey, Guangming, don't go upstairs yet, take me to the workshop first!"
"They don't have a living either. What are you going to see in the workshop? They are all a bunch of stupid old women!"
"Let's go, I just want to see those silly old ladies!"
"Damn, you still have this hobby, aren't you afraid that your Chu Yao will scratch you?"
Jia Guangming shook his head and walked toward the workshop while muttering. Tie Jun didn't reply and followed behind.
Walking into the workshop, Tie Jun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it to be so big. It was a state-owned factory for nothing, and he was stunned that it was about to be squeezed out by two large groups.
There were more than twenty female workers sitting in the rest room of the workshop. They were doing everything from chatting, knitting, reading newspapers, and even practicing Tai Chi, which was amazing.
Behind the rows of sewing machines, there are six or seven workers working here and there. It is probably their own work, and the public machines are also idle, so they are not used in vain.
"Oh, here comes the light, your third uncle is in the office!"
When the workshop director saw the two people coming in, he opened the door and looked outside. When he saw it was Jia Guangming, he quickly walked over with a smile on his face.
"Aunt Hu, this is my classmate Tie Jun. He wants to see the conditions of our workshop. If it works, he will have a batch of work for our factory!"
Director Hu is quite fat, but that’s strange. In these days, there are fewer fat men and more fat women, especially in factories.
"Hello, Aunt Hu, let's take a look around."
"Hello, hello, I'm here with you. I want to ask you something, so I can explain it to you."
As soon as he heard that the young man in front of him could give them a job, the fat director immediately became energetic. Although it was a big pot of rice and he had to pay for it whether he could start work or not, everyone knew that it was not a long-term job.
The female workers who were working did not panic. They only looked up and continued working with their heads down. Tie Jun took a special look at the work they were doing. They were really good. They were all skilled workers.
"Aunt Hu, how many workshops do we have? How many workers? If we only produce pants, how many pairs can one worker produce?"
“The two workshops used to be divided into bedding and clothing, but later we were divided into two workshops. But we have been trained to be versatile. As long as there are samples, we can do anything!
As for workers, there are 83 of them now, and some are sick. It depends on the type of trousers. For work uniform trousers, even tailors and tailors can produce 30 pairs a day for each person, no problem."
Tie Jun calculated in his mind that the production capacity was good. As long as the enthusiasm of these people could be mobilized, a pair of pedal pants could revitalize the factory.
"Then if a part of the staff are specially transferred to be laid off, can it be done faster?"
"Of course, we used to do this too, but there were always workers, and then they were cancelled."
"Thank you Aunt Hu, let's go to the office then. Don't worry, if there is any work, I will definitely come to our factory to do it. Moreover, it is calculated on a piece-by-piece basis. The more you work, the more you will get, and you will get more if you don't work!"
"Oh my God, that's great. I'm not afraid of you two laughing at me. I'm going to get rusty from being idle every day. You two go quickly!"
Tie Jun and the others left the workshop and walked into the second floor. As soon as they reached the middle corridor, they heard the shouts of five horses and spears. They were throwing poker cards and the sound of mahjong.
The two looked at each other, both a little confused. Didn't his third uncle change this place into a casino?
