Chapter Twenty-Three: The Night of the Carnival Storm
At dinner, Zhou Yu and the old man, as well as Xiaohu and nanny Zhang Mei, enjoyed a big meal at home with the doors and windows closed. The pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info only hear the whining wind outside, the ghost screaming, and the roaring mountains and tsunamis in the fruit forest.
I just finished eating, but the power went out!
All of a sudden, the whole villa, or rather the farm, went dark.
"Brother-in-law, I'll go get a flashlight."
Wang Xiaohu took the mobile phone, and took the flashlight by the faint light.
Wang Xiaohu is still called Zhou Yu's brother-in-law, maybe it's a habit. But in fact, Zhou Yu has already seen that Wang Xiaohu probably already knows about the matter between Zhou Yu and his sister.
Presumably Wang Xiaoyi must have called Wang Xiaohu.
Zhou Yu didn't care.
Even if he is finished with Wang Xiaoyi, he will not care about Wang Xiaohu. The attitude is the same as before, no change at all.
"Why is there a power outage," the old man chattered, "I just wanted to see the news." β
"It should be too windy, blowing off the line somewhere..."Zhou Yu guessed: "It should not only be our farm, but also the town." β
As he spoke, all of a sudden, the sound of crackling almost drowned out the whining of the windβit was raining.
For a while, several people did not speak.
It's as if there is only wind and rain left between heaven and earth, but people are a lonely existence.
"It's raining so hard, it's like hail." The old man suddenly sighed and broke the silence: "We have never had such a heavy rain over there. β
Zhou Yu thinks about it. From childhood to adulthood, only in the ninety-eighth year, the rain was slightly heavier. But it's not as good as it is now - Banyan Slope is inland after all, but here it is by the sea!
Wang Xiaohu brought the flashlight, and with a flashlight, several people sat around, staring at each other, not knowing what to talk about for a while.
At that moment, there was a sharp knock on the door.
Zhou Yu stood up, walked to the door in three or two steps, and opened it, it was Lin Quan and Jim. All wore raincoats and held flashlights.
The rain fell on them like a stream, and it flowed down with a bang.
"Boss, do you have the key to the warehouse cubicle here?" Lin Quan asked. β
"The key to the warehouse cubicle?" Zhou Yu thought for a while: "Yes." But he said, "Doesn't Andrew have a handful in his hand?" β
"I couldn't find it in a hurry." Lin Quan said: "There is a generator in the compartment, so let's find a way to generate electricity first." β
"Okay, you wait a minute." Zhou Yu turned around and entered the house, and soon came out wearing a raincoat and holding a flashlight: "Let's go and have a look." β
Out of the room, Zhou Yu can deeply feel the power of nature.
The rain poured down, and everything in heaven and earth became a world of water. Faintly, those fruit trees, sometimes bent over, shivering in the wind and rain, and making a crying sound.
The strong wind blew the raincoat tightly on the body, and the rain drilled into the crevices along the wind, and the whole person was cold. My face is covered with water, and I can't open my eyes!
The three of them were lying on their backs, turning on their flashlights, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and on the ground, I was afraid that there would be an inch of water deep!
Finally arrived at the warehouse.
I saw that several security guards and Andrew, Leo and other persons in charge were all wearing raincoats and looking around the warehouse.
"The boss is here!"
Several people poured into the warehouse together, and there were also wet marks on it.
"There is a crack in the roof of the warehouse, there is a leak!"
Andrew shouted.
"When the storm is over, all the buildings will be renovated!" Zhou Yu replied loudly.
During this time, many renovation works were already underway throughout the farm. The various tools used by the workers have been replaced. New sightseeing cars and vans are also in place. The irrigation facilities were replaced only two days ago, and the problematic sections of the farm have not yet been repaired.
Now I find that there is something wrong with the house as well.
"You just need to apply asphalt to the roof." Andrew replied.
Zhou Yu nodded.
Walk through the huge warehouse and you'll find the compartment inside.
Zhou Yu took out the key, opened the door and walked in.
There are three large diesel engines in it, and there are several large drums of diesel next to them. Andrew and the others took the lead and began to start the diesel engine to generate electricity.
The clatter noise sounded one after another, and the three diesel engines started quickly, and then, I saw Jim operating in the distribution box next to him for a moment, and the lights in the warehouse came on.
The crowd let out a long breath.
The black Stark wiped the water from his face and couldn't help laughing: "This time, the circuit is broken, if it is Los Angeles, I don't know how much Franklin will be lost." β
Every storm is a great test for humanity. It's not just a test of life, it's also a test of the economy.
"Let's not talk about Los Angeles." Owen, who had a dead face, said: "After this storm, I don't know how much banana and pineapple forests will be lost..."
Zhou Yu comforted: "It's okay, just make up for the loss." β
Then he pondered for a moment and said, "During the time I came here, everyone worked very actively, except for a few people, they all worked hard. β
The so-called very few people, Zhou Yu himself didn't know, it was Lin Quan who told him.
It seems to be three people, all black, one from the security team, and the other from Guolin, who are often lazy.
Lin Quan had already told them many times, and finally had no choice but to tell Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu has already decided to fire these three guys.
"I discussed with Manager Lin earlier, and I plan to take out 5% of the year's profit at the end of each year as dividends and bonuses and distribute them to everyone. I was expecting to surprise you when the time comes, but I couldn't hold back today, haha. β
Zhou Yu also decided to say this just now.
He had already considered the issue of dividends, and he had also discussed it with Lin Quan. Originally, I wanted to wait until the eve of the New Year, or Christmas, to say it, but Zhou Yu felt that it didn't matter when he said it.
During this time, Lin Quan also told him that most of the old people on the farm actually worked hard. In particular, a few people in charge, in Lin Quan's words, almost regarded this place as a real home.
Therefore, it is imperative to reward them. Take advantage of this opportunity to buy people's hearts.
Hearing Zhou Yu's promise, immediately, several people burst into laughter!
Andrew estimated in his heart and couldn't help but be speechless.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the early-maturing fruit, that is, the varieties that sell sky-high prices on the market, he knows that the boss can earn at least more than 300 million!
Well, even if it's only 300 million, after deducting taxes and deducting various expenses, no matter what, there will be one and a half, right?
What is 5 percent of 1500 million? Seven and a half million!
How many people are there in the whole farm? Early in the hundreds.
Even if you have an average score, everyone can get 70,000 or 80,000!
And it's impossible to average the score!
It is estimated that each of them, the person in charge, can get more than 100,000 yuan, to say the least?
Zhou Yu looked at the surprised looks of several people with a smile, and continued to release the bomb with a smile: "I have calculated, the previous batch of early-maturing high-quality fruits received more than 370 million, and some high-end fruits produced later were sold for about 40 million, plus these ordinary varieties later, there should be a few million." Combined, that's 420 million. After deducting various taxes and expenses, the net profit should be more than 200 million. Five percent is a little over 10 million. Each of your team leaders will take 500,000 yuan each, plus Manager Lin and Lawyer Li, you are seven people, and the remaining more than 7 million yuan will be divided equally among the workers. β
"Half a million..."
A few people trembled with joy!
500,000 is not a small amount, and with their annual salary, it is close to 600,000. With an annual income of 600,000 yuan, in the United States, it can be regarded as a bit of a grade!
You must know that the middle class generally has an annual salary of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. After 200,000, it is no longer considered the middle class!
"Good job." Zhou Yu laughed: "As long as we do well, the profits of our farm will go up, and everyone will get more and more." I'm a capitalist, but I'm not the kind of black-hearted guy. β
"The boss is a nice guy!"
Immediately, the Good Guy Card came.
The people were happy, as if the storm outside was no longer insignificant.
"Why don't we have a barbecue?"
Suddenly, the black Stark suggested: "How poetic is it that the environment is so good, it is windy and rainy outside, and we are having a party inside?" β
"Makes sense!"
Jim immediately agreed.
"Okay." Zhou Yu laughed: "Then don't you take action?!" β
In an instant, several people ran away without a trace.
Soon, grills, charcoal, various ingredients, and beer were all moved into the warehouse.
Jim also brought his baby stereo, and I don't know how to get such a heavy rain.
The warehouse is a lot of space, so everyone works together to clean the floor, then set up a grill and light charcoal.
"Tonight, let me show my hand first!"
Jim smiled and walked over to the grill and said, "You don't know..."
"Ten years of retired Air Force officers barbecue first, right?" Stark answered immediately.
"Can I finish myself?" Jim couldn't help but complain.
"You've been saying this for a few years." Andrew laughed, "My ears are calloused. β
Then he said to Zhou Yu who was sitting next to him: "Boss, don't look at Jim's blowing, he really has a hand in barbecue." In the past, when I opened the party, this guy made barbecue. β
As he spoke, the person next to him had already opened the beer, and each person handed out a large cup, which could hold three bottles, and poured it full, one cup per person.
"Kills!"
Everyone raised their glasses, touched them, and drank them in large gulps.
The atmosphere was lively all at once.
Then, the sound of the sound banged, and the fierce rock music shook the entire warehouse, and the ground shook slightly. The sound of the wind and rain outside was completely suppressed to the point of nowhere.
Those who were interested were still bending over and twisting their butts and jumping in the middle of the field, and the others surrounded and applauded.
"Hotel California, change to Hotel California!"
The dead-faced Owen seemed to be a different person now, he shouted incessantly, and then jumped into the middle of the field, raised his glass and touched it from afar, and beat the beat, and danced an unknown dance.
It looks like it really smells like that.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Jim was holding a large plate: "Owen, eat the barbecue, give me the ground!" β
...
The night can be described as a carnival.
Zhou Yu had never felt that kind of enthusiasm and enthusiasm like this night. It's screaming and jumping again, it's crazy!
And the distance between him and his subordinates has suddenly narrowed a lot!
In the morning, when the sky was almost bright, this special body came to an end.
It's just because everyone is tired, otherwise they can continue to play.
That night, I don't know how much beer was consumed, and there were bottles all over the floor. I don't know how many times I took the ingredients back and forth, and Zhou Yu ran home two or three times.
Later, Wang Xiaohu also came, and then there were more and more people. I don't know when, except for the old man and the nanny Zhang Mei and a few others, I'm afraid that the adults and children of the whole farm will come.
It's a shame that this warehouse is big enough, otherwise it wouldn't be able to fit it.
