One day, Yun Yun was sitting at home, bored and sad, Chen Rundong hadn't been here for half a month, her mood was getting worse little by little, as if her homework had begun to accumulate little by little, both of which needed to be solved by Chen Rundong.

"Can't I study without him?" Yun Yun asked herself, "Learning is my own business, and it has nothing to do with whether he supervises or not, so why can't I learn?" I wasn't like that before! ”

"Hey—I'm determined to forget about him for a while, I should have read the books he left behind." Yun Yun encouraged herself in her heart, took out a few books on profound and obscure philosophy, politics and economics and flipped through them, "This-why is it that every time I read a word, it seems that his voice echoes in my head?" No! It's that I'm too dependent on him, I've grown so big, I don't need to rely on anyone to learn this! ”

Yun Yun read a few lines, was upset, closed the book, and suddenly missed him, she felt that not only did she need Chen Rundong to study, but she also needed him to repair this bad mood, "You show up quickly." Yun Yun looked at the door, silently thinking in her heart, hoping that Chen Rundong would walk in the next second.

"Huh?" Yun Yun heard the sound of footsteps, and the next moment she saw a foot walking in, and before she had time to be happy, this person appeared, it was Zhuang Yuncheng.

"Brother, are you back?" Yun Yun's excited mood quickly returned to calm.

"Well, it looks like you're in a bad mood." Zhuang Yuncheng approached and said with a wry smile, "There is not a trace of joy on his face. ”

Yun Yun pouted and didn't say a word.

"What's wrong? I only go home once in a few days, and I'm in a bad mood when I get home, is it boring alone? ”

"It's kind of boring."

Zhuang Yuncheng came over and touched her head, and said casually: "We are all a little busy, we can't accompany you, you can find something to do by yourself, I just came to see you, and I will leave soon." ”

"Hmm." Yun Yun nodded perfunctorily, still unable to lift her spirits.

Zhuang Yuncheng was about to turn around, and suddenly said: "It's better to come with me to the factory to have a look, there are many things you haven't seen, so you should go and pass the time." ”

"No, I'm going to wait for someone."

"Waiting for whom?"

"Wait-" Yun Yun almost blurted out, hurriedly holding back, and said with a smile: "I won't tell you." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng smiled and said, "If you don't tell me yet, I will always know." ”

Yun Yun squeezed her eyebrows at him, but still didn't speak.

"Okay, you wait slowly, but now there is no one at home, you stay at home longer, don't go out and hang around."

"Yes." Yun Yun obediently agreed.

Zhuang Yuncheng then left, until today, it has been exactly a month since the factory opened, and in this month, all matches were sold in four batches. At the end of the month, it should be the time to pay the workers' wages and settle the accounts, and Zeng Fu had to report to Zhuang Yuncheng at this time that the accounts for the past month were discrepancy.

"In the past month, four batches of matches have been sold by keeping one batch per week," Zeng Fu said as he looked at the accounts, "and overall it was still a loss." ”

Fluttershy brought the summary account and handed it to Zhuang Yuncheng, saying, "The loss is not much, it's only the first month, it's normal." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng looked at the accounts and nodded.

"However, in terms of batches, our match production is higher than one batch at a time, and the quality is also rising, and it can almost reach the level of other factories now." Zeng Fu said.

"Moreover, the working hours of the workers in our factory are reduced by two hours compared with other factories, and the wages paid are a little higher, so it is reasonable to lose these money." "Then we put the price on the market and it doesn't happen." ”

"On the one hand," Zhuang said with a smile, "I have seen a good phenomenon that the output of the four batches is gradually increasing, which can at least show two things, one is that the workers are becoming more and more skilled and efficient, and the other is that because of the reduction in working hours and the decision to increase the salary, the workers are more motivated to work hard, which is something I don't see in other factories." ”

"Indeed, after we recruited workers on a time-based and salary basis, many people have recently come to ask if they want to recruit workers, they want to enter our factory, but this is already full, so there is no way."

"This is inevitable, but this situation will only get worse and worse, and the workers in other factories will become more and more resentful, and their emotions will only become more and more broken, which will inevitably affect their work, so that it will directly affect the interests of the factory owners, and we will become the target of attacks and retaliation by all forces because we have broken the rules." Zhuang Yuncheng said.

"I don't think it's better to make the two systems of time and pay public, and tell the workers to stop preaching."

"Even if it's only a temporary solution, it's just like this, let's take it one step at a time." Zhuang Yuncheng gave the account book to Zeng Fu, and suddenly remembered that his relative was old, so he asked: "Ah Fu, where did one of your relatives get the money?" Did you give it? ”

"No, I haven't."

"The day before, I was so poor that I had no food to eat and no place to live, how could I get a sum of money the next day, not only quit my job, but also pay the man's lost work pay? Don't steal people's money! ”

"I haven't heard anyone in the factory say that I lost money, so it shouldn't be." Fluttershy says.

"That's weird, but it's not necessarily ill-gotten gain." Zhuang Yuncheng said, "This person is restless, Ah Fu, next time he comes, remember to tell me." ”

"Yes." Zeng Fu said.

Zhuang Yuncheng and Fluttershy leave the account room, remembering that the Nantian regime has told them to meet through Katoriko in the evening, so they go home to change their clothes. After a month, Ju An and Zeng Fu had some experience and methods in factory management, so Zhuang Yuncheng handed over more things to them, and after the factory was off work at night, he could be a little lazy and not have to go in person every night.

At home, Yun Yun is lonely, and she will go to school tomorrow, and Chen Rundong has not come, which means that at least she will not see him for the next few days.

As soon as Zhuang Yuncheng came home and saw her, he knew that the person she was waiting for didn't come, "He shouldn't come at night, don't be so worried, I'll take you to play tonight." Zhuang Yuncheng stood behind her and pushed.

"What's so funny." Yun Yun leaned on the table and muttered, "It's better to read at home." ”

"What book?" Zhuang Yuncheng picked up a book in front of her, it was a natural philosophy, he casually flipped a few pages, looked at the words in it and knew it, but these words were very profound when they were connected into a sentence, that long sentence, read the previous clause, and then read the latter clause, and after reading the back, the front was forgotten.

"I don't believe that you are so patient and understanding, you can read such books?" Zhuang Yuncheng threw down the book and asked.

"Leave it to me."

"Don't be embarrassed, go ahead! Besides, Ju'an and Zeng Fu are not here, and there is no one at home when we go to the house, aren't you afraid of the big night. ”

Yun Yun wanted to promise a big house, and it was uncomfortable to think about it when it was empty, so she nodded and agreed for a long time.

"That's right, maybe the person you're waiting for is there!"

Yun Yun said disdainfully: "People won't go to that kind of place!" ”

Zhuang Yuncheng stopped arguing with her, and asked Fluttershy to urge her to dress up, and the three of them went to the Red Pavilion together.

This time, the Nantian regime names Zhuang Yuncheng to talk, so Fluttershy takes Yunyun to play.

Zhuang Yuncheng arrived first, so he waited for him in the old place, and soon he also arrived, Zhuang Yuncheng got up and bowed and said, "Mr. Nantian." ”

Nantian nodded and said, "Sit!" ”

The two sat down, and he also brought a bodyguard with him.

"What Mr. Kawashima did is incomprehensible, and I want to talk to you personally." Nantian Weiwei frowned slightly.

"Mr. Nanda, please speak."

"I have received information that Mr. Kawashima has violated the rules of the market and disregarded his interests by running a match factory, and has developed another time system and wage system." Nantian said, "In the past month, the factory has lost money." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng knew that his sources must be the technical instructors and material and equipment purchasers he sent to the factory, but there was no way, the current position and role of these two people could not be replaced by others.

"It's a little bit of a loss at the moment, Mr. Nanda, it's only temporary."

"Do you say the losses are temporary, or is your system temporary?"

"The loss is temporary, the system, I still want to keep."

"You're the only businessman I've ever met who doesn't want to make money, why?" The Nantian regime questioned, "Chinese's money, why don't you earn it!" Chinese labor, why don't you squeeze it with all your might?! ”

Zhuang Yuncheng was speechless for a while, looking at the face of the Nantian regime, even more hateful.

"You must know that you are not alone, you represent the interests of the Great Japanese Empire!" The tone of the Nantian regime was blunt.

"I know."

"And what are you going to do next?"

"Mr. Nantian-" Zhuang Yuncheng said solemnly, "Please-listen to my explanation first, I will definitely make it clear." ”

Nantian regime looked at Zhuang Yuncheng with a grim expression.

"I did it because I had a plan." Zhuang Yuncheng was confident and swore that "at present, there is indeed a lot of labor in China, but I have never heard that there is no place to employ, which shows that although there is a lot of labor, the demand for labor in the industrial industry is also very large, and what I have learned is that many people prefer to do some small business by themselves, or pull foreign cars, or do long-term labor, or learn some small skills, they are not willing to enter the factory, because the factory exploitation under the control of those big assets, big landlords, and big compradors is too powerful, and they know it." So if there is such a group of people, they feel that the money they earn by doing other things is about the same as the money they earn by going to the factory, they will not choose to enter the factory, because entering the factory is undoubtedly an indirect loss of freedom, and they endure both mental and physical pressure. ”

"So you mean ......"

"My plan is called throwing bricks and attracting jade, with more favorable conditions than other factories to attract this part of the population, with the influx of more people, my factory will increase to a moderate scale, and after having enough ability to control our employees, then increase the working hours, reduce the salary, then make money is not a problem."

Nantian Zheng stared at Zhuang Yuncheng, frowned, and said, "Your vision is surprisingly long-term, but it is very unrealistic. ”

"What's unrealistic, I'm a businessman, making money is my number one priority, but I know how to make a lot of money."

Nantian regime meditated, at this time the vision instantly broadened a lot, he stood in the perspective of a politician, standing on the level of interests of the entire Japanese Empire, his thoughts began to become crazy, his eyes burst out like a wolf like a tiger, "This is a great plan, dig deep into China's labor force, use the advantages of industry and technology, with the mode of factory management, control China's labor force, and turn them into factory slaves of the empire, in this way, not only to obtain great benefits, but also to weaken the backbone of the entire country, Clear the way for the invasion of the Empire in the future! "The Nantian regime imagined the future with great excitement.

"Mr. Nantian." Zhuang Yuncheng called him.

"Oh—you've got a good idea." The Nantian regime was full of his own ideas for a grand picture, and for the time being, he didn't have the heart to take care of Zhuang Yuncheng's small match factory, so he said: "Let's go ahead with your own ideas." ”

"Of course."

Nantian got up and said with a smile, "Mr. Kawashima, I'm leaving." ”

Zhuang Yuncheng got up and nodded, and Nantian left with a solemn expression.

Zhuang Yuncheng didn't know that he had provided an idea for the Nantian regime, but he knew that the plan had changed, and there were many problems ahead.
