Chapter 144: Compromise
The design of the rice harvester was completed by Chen Fei, and the funds were also sponsored by him throughout the process, and it is not too much to get half of the profits, and it can even be said that this time Chen Fei's brain was caught by the door, so he would do such a thing as giving away half of the profits.
In fact, Chen Fei didn't want to give away half of his profits to others in vain, and they were not Cheng Biting Jin, so they couldn't give him the shelter he wanted.
But...... Hehe, how could Chen Fei let himself suffer.
Half of the profits are given away out of compassion, and the other half is utilitarian.
Chen Fei is a modern person, and everything is still an accountant for gains and losses.
Because Chen Fei himself doesn't know how to manufacture, it is a very important thing to have a good relationship with Qi Workshop, if you want to invent this and that in the future, if you encounter difficulties, where is there more suitable to solve the problem than Qi Workshop?
Chen Fei smiled evilly while snorting Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
As for the nomenclature of the rice harvester...... Well, don't care about this shameless detail!
Wang Lao and Li Zhuo didn't care about naming it, this thing was originally invented by Chen Fei, and it was really normal to name it after him, but that half of the profit really moved them.
"Chen Fei, what you said is true? Are you really willing to give us half of your profits? Li Zhuo's breathing was a little short, and even his tone changed.
After getting Chen Fei's nod, Wang Lao first shouted excitedly.
"Great, this money should be put into the treasury, and our Qi Workshop will be revitalized!"
"Revenue to the treasury?" Chen Fei looked at Wang Lao strangely, he thought that this old man was quite open-minded, but now it seems that it may be an illusion.
Even Li Zhuo looked sideways slightly.
Facing the strange gazes of several people, Wang Lao was puzzled. "What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
Chen Fei coughed twice and said, "Ahem! Elder Wang, it's good that you have this idea of contributing to the country, but ...... do this It's a bit out of place. ”
Wang Lao didn't understand what Chen Fei meant, his brows jumped, and he asked, "Why?" ”
didn't understand this reason, Chen Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
"Elder Wang, what do you think, the profits we have obtained are handed over to the treasury, and if we need funds later, we have to go to the envoys to see their faces, why bother? Wouldn't it be nice to keep it for research funding? ”
"No way!" Wang Lao did not hesitate and directly rejected Chen Fei. "The existence of our Qi Workshop is for the country, not for the individual!"
This is the old stubbornness!
Chen Fei understood that Wang Lao was a relatively pure person, and in his eyes he only had the interests of the country, and he did not have as many fancy intestines as Chen Fei.
Whether it was staying to help design and make the rice harvester, or the profits he handed over, he considered it from the national level, and never harbored a trace of selfishness.
Although Chen Fei admires this kind of person, it does not mean that he will approve of Wang Lao's approach.
"Elder Wang, listen to me, take a look at the craftsmen of the Strange Workshop first, they haven't paid their salaries for a long time, right?"
Wang Lao raised his eyebrows: "So what?" ”
Chen Fei patiently explained: "Without a salary, how can these workers support their families? Their clothes are all in tatters, and those who don't know when they go out think it's a flower child, so it's not too much to keep this money to improve the lives of the workers, right? ”
Elder Wang only frowned slightly, and quickly denied Chen Fei's idea.
"No! This money still has to be handed over to the state, our salary, I believe the state will solve it for us! Now that we have developed a new tool, we will definitely get the attention of the state, and I believe that the envoy will not fight with me anymore! ”
Stubborn old fellow! Chen Fei glanced at Li Zhuo, Li Zhuo shook his head lightly, and his face was also helpless.
Chen Fei doesn't know why, it seems that he really has a relationship with this stubborn old man today.
"Good! Let's not talk about the salary for the time being, Mr. Wang, you turn around and look at the strange workshop, there are so many workers, and how many people are passionate about doing things? ”
Wang Lao's eyes turned around, and his expression couldn't help but become gray. "Most people are about to lose their patience, and five or six masters have left in just the first two months."
"And have you ever wondered why?" Chen Fei's tone became intense.
Wang Laogang said: "Because ... He was rudely interrupted by Chen Fei.
"Because there is no money! I can't even fill my stomach when I do this job! Where does passion come from? That little bit of passion has long been smoothed out in hunger and poverty, right? Just imagine, if you can't even guarantee your own life, how can you create? ”
"This ... Wang Lao was speechless for a while, not knowing how to refute, and the scattered craftsmen looked up and looked here when they heard Chen Fei's question, but the numbness on their faces did not decrease much.
"Enough Chen Fei, Wang Lao is a senior after all, don't be like this." Li Zhuo tried to persuade Chen Fei,
Chen Fei was still unrelenting, and then said: "Just imagine, if there is a regulation in the future, but whoever designs the appliances makes a profit, and can get half of the profit from the profit to him, will everyone still be as lifeless as now, living a passable and drowsy life?" I'm afraid that the work is already in full swing at this moment, right? If there is financial support, I am afraid that more and more outstanding craftsmen will join the strange workshop and inject fresh blood into it, right? ”
After a pause, Chen Fei continued: "If you feed the horse fat forage, the horse will run hard, such a simple truth, Wang Lao won't understand, right?" ”
After listening to Chen Fei's words, Wang Lao's face turned pale, and he didn't know whether he was angry by Chen Fei's fierce tone, or whether he was thinking about the content of Chen Fei's words.
Everyone was silent and looked at Wang Lao quietly. The craftsmen scattered around looked at Wang Lao's face with a little expectation, and their hands clenched into fists.
If they can really do what Chen Fei said, their living conditions will be greatly improved!
However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, everyone stood for a long time of incense, Wang Lao was still silent, and everyone's hopeful heart gradually sank to the bottom and died with time.
"Lee ... Li Jianzheng, why don't we do what this young man said? You are the Ruler and you are in charge. A worker pulled the corner of Li Zhuo's clothes and whispered.
Li Zhuo was also very moved by Chen Fei's statement, and seeing that Wang Lao was still hesitant, he simply made his own decision. "Okay, then ... ”
"Then do as he says."
What is surprising is that the last few words actually came out of Wang Lao's mouth!
Wang Lao glanced at everyone, and finally exhaled a sigh of relief, "Just do it, I... No comments. ”
As soon as the words fell, the guilt of the strange workshop erupted in cheers, which could be heard from afar as the wind came out.
Chen Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, if he could reform like this, I believe that soon, the Qi Workshop will definitely glow with a different look! Maybe it will leave a strong mark on history!
It's just that in the midst of all the cheers, there is an old body, which looks so thin and weak.
"The king is bowed down by the boy." Chen Fei left the cheering crowd, walked to Elder Wang's side, and bowed respectfully to him.
Wang Lao raised his head and stared at Chen Fei in a daze, and said in surprise: "Why do you want to salute the old man?" ”
Chen Fei blinked and asked rhetorically, "Why did you agree with my decision in the end?" ”
Wang Lao smiled bitterly and pointed to the cheering crowd: "Everyone thinks so, what can I do?" ”
"No!" Chen Fei shook his head resolutely, "You are for the sake of the country, and you can't bear to make concessions because the Qi Workshop will degenerate, and for this reason alone, you should be worshiped by the kid." ”
Wang Lao was surprised, and finally a trace of tears flashed in his eyes, and he appreciated Chen Fei from the bottom of his heart. "Boy, you know me!"
Chen Fei smiled: "Maybe." ”
After speaking, the two laughed, and the unhappiness of the quarrel just now quickly dissipated into a cry of joy.
