Chapter 588: Opening a Business (4)
At dawn, Qi Ke's additional manpower arrived in Donglin County as scheduled, and the shop under the name of the ship company was quietly activated, because it was not a serious opening, there were no firecrackers and no signboards, only a wooden notice board was hung, and a big red paper was pasted on it, saying that the boss of Siliu Village, Erma Town, had purchased sacks and bamboo baskets for a long time, and the purchase price was attached to the back, with a sack of two pennies and a bamboo basket of five cents, and the finished product used as a sample was also hung on the door frame to show that it was only accepted if it reached this standard.
Qi Ke's name is very useful, as soon as the notice came out, the first thing was that the surrounding residents heard the news, and the two maids in charge of this shop received the neighbors with a smile, and took the trouble to tell them the purchase requirements, and they were not tired of talking about it many times.
The rules of acquisition are very simple, prepare their own materials and weave, only send the finished products to the door, and pay according to the price after passing the inspection, but at the same time there is another way, that is, it is inconvenient to prepare materials by themselves but want to make some money for the people, you can come to the store to do things like work, use the materials prepared in the store to weave sacks or bamboo baskets, piecework, daily settlement, and this pure manual fee is of course relatively low, weaving five sacks or weaving a bamboo basket to earn two cents.
The low cost of labor comes from the fact that the difficulty of this craft is not high, the sack is not mentioned, just talking about the bamboo basket, the novice can make up two or three a day after learning, if it is a craftsman who specializes in eating this bowl of rice, as long as he prepares enough materials, seven or eight a day can be made, and the family adults and children go into battle together, and it is absolutely no problem to earn the money for the whole family to eat and drink Lazar in a month.
Donglin County is a poor county, there is not much money to make a living, and no one in the county has ever done this kind of long-term business of buying sacks and bamboo baskets, many people combined with their previous experience, and speculated whether Qi Ke wanted so much to be related to the autumn harvest of grain, and the maids all smiled at this question without answering, and let the people make up for it by themselves.
Fortunately, the people also discussed what Guan Qi was doing with collecting so much, she took out the money for others to earn, and it would be a fool not to earn it.
The people gathered around the store scattered, and the news spread all over the county at a very fast speed, and even the displaced people heard it, so the store ushered in waves of people who inquired about the situation, and the displaced people settled outside the city, and it was most convenient to collect materials.
After watching the lively people disperse, another master came to the government to ask how long the purchased business would last, and the maids gave a very positive answer, as long as Qi Ke was still farming, sacks and bamboo baskets would always be needed.
The master got this reply and went back to his life satisfied, no one is stupid on the government side, Qi Ke's acquisition of the business is equivalent to helping them, the homeless people can make money and have a way to live, and the possibility of making trouble will become smaller and smaller.
It didn't take long for the county's military post to send a military commander to inquire how many sacks and bamboo baskets Qi Ke wanted, and the reply was also that the more the better, and by the way, they also asked the battalion to tidy up the old baskets that were not used, and send them to the village to load grain during the autumn harvest.
Autumn sowing has just begun, and the land is still sowing seeds, and the maids' words are undoubtedly indicating that Qi Ke's subordinates will still have a bumper harvest during the autumn harvest.
Wu Chang happily went back to his life, and the news was quickly sent to Bai Qing's desk, and it didn't take long for everyone in the Thousand Households from top to bottom to receive an order to collect materials to weave sacks, bamboo baskets, and chicken and duck cages, the number is unlimited, the more the better, for the autumn harvest.
