Chapter 0041 - On the Right Track

The autumn wind blows from the north, dyeing the verdant earth yellow. In the cold wind, pedestrians walked in a little more hurry.

On the opposite side of the gate of the family community of the Gudan Cigarette Factory, in front of a butcher shop, the figures are full of people in the bleak autumn wind.

Zeng Wei, who had just come home from school, saw at a glance that in the shop, his mother Yan Chengxiu was busy cutting meat and weighing it, and then packed it in a convenient bag and handed it to customers.

This hectic day, from mid-September to now, has lasted for almost two months.

However, the business of the butcher shop was not so good at the beginning, Zeng Wei still remembers the scene when the butcher shop first opened in early September. On the first day of the store's opening, less than 50 catties of meat were sold, and it was my father and cousin Zeng Chuiyu who called some familiar colleagues to come over to take care of the business, otherwise the business would be even worse.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning, the business of the shop is slowly getting better, from the first day of selling less than 50 catties of meat, to the National Day, it has been able to sell all the meat of a pig every day, and now in mid-November, it has been able to sell the meat of two whole pigs every day, which is a full four or five hundred catties.

Most of the customers are employees of the tobacco factory, which is a large factory with more than 1,000 employees, and even the workers living in the family community have more than 600 households and 2,000 or 3,000 people.

Zeng Wei's choice of this place was also carefully considered. After all, in today's Gudan City, the best economic situation is the workers of the tobacco factory.

In fact, Zeng Wei's plan is just the beginning of the butcher's shop, and he plans to slowly develop it into a supermarket where you can buy all the daily necessities. However, there is a process that will take two or three years to do.

………………

When renting the shop, Zeng Wei also considered hiring a worker to run the shop. However, after thinking about it repeatedly, he still persuaded his mother Yan Chengxiu to do this.

On the one hand, this is a means to reduce expenses, after all, if you hire a person, you will need a salary of two or three thousand a year. Add the rent of the store, and the utility bills or something, that's tens of thousands of expenses.

My family is still in the early stage of starting a business, and it is good to be able to save some expenses.

Of course, what he thinks about the most is to avoid the negative problems that may be brought about by the long-term separation of his parents, and the problem of gradually freeing his family from the tedious and hard work in the countryside.

Now, when the second sister Zeng Tong finishes primary school next year and goes to junior high school in the city, she can move the family to the city.

As for the pig farm in his hometown, Zeng Wei was very relieved to have the help of the lobby sister. After all, the work of the pig farm is done by the people who are invited. And after more than half a year of investigation, Zeng Wei also trusts these workers very much, and they are not cheating and cheating people.

What's more, my mother can also make a tractor for three gora meat every day to go back to her hometown, and take care of the pig farm by the way.

………………

The past half semester has been a busy and fulfilling half semester for Zeng Wei.

It is true that the knowledge I was exposed to in junior high school is not comparable to that of primary school. In particular, Zeng Wei plans to complete all the courses in junior high school in one year, so he not only has to learn the courses of this semester, but also secretly uses the textbooks left by his eldest sister to study the courses of the second semester and the second year of junior high school.

The writing of "The Savage" also went relatively smoothly. Zeng Wei doesn't ask to write much every day, and usually spends an hour writing some, about two or three thousand words, before going to bed at night.

However, after more than two months of accumulation, there are about 200,000 words.

As for "Sou Shen Ji", which was serialized in the magazine "Legend of the Ancient Times", the situation is also very good. Thanks to the country's economic upswing, the sales of each issue of the magazine are rising. In the past October, sales in a single month have exceeded 3.2 million copies. According to the contract signed by Zeng Wei and Su Shaohua, his remuneration this month has reached an unprecedented 300 yuan per thousand words.

According to what Su Shaohua said when he called Zeng Wei, some leaders of the magazine regretted the contract they signed with Zeng Wei very much, almost to the point of beating their chests.

In the five months from June to October, Zeng Wei received more than 30,000 yuan in manuscript fees from the magazine "Ancient Legends". However, the money was put back into the pig farm.

After more than half a year of the world, the pig farm has developed from about 150 piglets to nearly 1,000 piglets, including more than 80 fat pigs, more than 300 shelf pigs and more than 500 piglets in the fattening state.

In addition, the pig farm also specially fed two boars, ten sows, Zeng Wei is planning to let the pig farm take the road of their own breeding, after all, the price of piglets has risen to a very high price, all by buying, it is not cost-effective.

Because the scale of the pig farm has expanded dramatically, the few workers at the beginning must have been too busy. In fact, the number of workers employed by the pig farm has reached thirty.

The newly recruited workers are also in cooperation with the Qili Township Central School, and the school provides a list of parents of students whose families are in financial difficulties but have excellent character and academics, and then Zeng Wei personally interviews and selects them.

These workers were divided into six shifts by Zeng Wei, who were responsible for the breeding of fat pigs, shelf pigs, piglets and breeding pigs. The leaders of the four classes are the six workers who were initially recruited into the pig farm, ranging from two to six people in each class. Two of the classes are responsible for fat pigs, two classes are responsible for shelf pigs, and the remaining two classes are responsible for piglets and breeding pigs respectively.

The two workers in charge of breeding are both people with certain professional knowledge, after all, this is a technical job, and ordinary people can't do it at all.

Not only that, Zeng Wei also specially invited an expert from the county animal husbandry bureau to the pig farm to give them a one-week training through Yang Zhicheng's relationship.

………………

In fact, the regularization of pig farms is not only the work content of the workers, Zeng Wei also asked his mother to go to the county commercial bureau and register a professional pig farm, and the name of the pig farm was taken by Zeng Wei with a bad taste of a "Bajie Pig Farm".

Of course, this Bajie is not just the stalk of Zhu Bajie, he also formulated eight work rules for the workers of the pig farm, which were written in big characters by Zeng Wei and pasted at the gate of the pig farm, which is the real "Bajie".

Although the general manager of the pig farm is named by his mother Yan Chengxiu, the real person in charge is Zeng Wei, a nine-year-old child, and the person in charge of daily work is Zeng Youqin, the lobby sister.

Therefore, every time the workers see Zeng Wei, they are called Mr. Zeng, and Zeng Wei has no objection to this, anyway, this pig farm is his first official industry.

The pig farm has developed to its current scale, and her mother Yan Chengxiu no longer doubts the pie with an annual profit of 50,000 yuan that Zeng Wei drew for her at the beginning of the year.

After all, just the 150 pigs raised at the beginning, according to the current situation, can make a profit of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

………………

The development of the pig farm not only changed the situation of the Zeng family, but also attracted the attention of the township and even county leaders. Senior party officials and township chiefs have visited the pig farms several times.

Whenever the county leaders inspect the work in Qili Township, the township will take the Zeng family's "Bajie" pig farm as a point of inspection, which has won a lot of face for the township leaders.

No, this time Yang Zhicheng, deputy secretary of the county party committee, went to Qili Township for research work, and was also arranged in the "Bajie" pig farm.

"Your pig farm is doing well!" Yang Zhicheng couldn't help but praise when he saw the scale of the pig farm for the first time.

Hearing the leader's approval, a squad leader in charge of fat pig breeding immediately replied with a smile: "Hehe, it's all the good of the general leader, and a few of us are just running errands and doing some specific work." ”

"Mr. Zeng?!" Yang Zhicheng glanced at the man with some curiosity and asked, "Isn't the general manager of your pig farm Ms. Yan Chengxiu?"

The squad leader immediately explained: "Our Mr. Yan is actually not in charge of things, she is mainly responsible for sales issues, and the real person in charge of the pig farm is Zeng Wei, the son of Mr. Yan." ”

Yang Zhicheng was speechless for a moment, it turned out that Zeng was always Zeng Wei's little brat!

Next, accompanied by the township leaders, Yang Zhicheng looked at the overall layout and detailed structure of the pig farm, and saw that the division of labor of each department was clear, closely cooperated, and the equipment should be fully utilized, the management of the entire pig farm was in good order, and the pigs of all sizes were moving in a hurry, very energetic, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Compared with the sluggish management of state-owned pig farms, Bajie pig farms are indeed very competitive.

Although Yang Zhicheng is the deputy secretary in charge of the party and the masses, in this era when the economy is in charge, every leader attaches great importance to economic development. Therefore, every time Yang Zhicheng inspects a township and inspects the economic development, it is inevitable to visit some national nutrition pig farms.

In fact, for the Gudan area, the main source of meat for urban people is the national nutritious pig farms. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, the private economy is still very weak, and ordinary farmers just raise so many pigs, such as the Zeng family, which has a large and small pig herd of nearly 1,000 heads, and the entire Gudan County, and even the Gudan area, are the only ones in the scorpion baba.

However, those national nutrition pig farms, I feel that the workers are getting by, and they don't put their minds on raising pigs at all.

And during the visit, Yang Zhicheng also noticed a detail, that is, the clothes worn by the breeders are uniforms made by uniforms, which are not printed with the big red letters that are usually seen, but a metal nameplate above the left breast pocket, on which the two words of Bajie are shining, which is very innovative.

Then the workers of the pig farm told Yang Zhicheng that everyone in the pig farm has two sets of spring and autumn clothes, summer clothes and winter clothes, all of which are uniformly customized by the pig farm and provided free of charge to the breeders for work attire.
