Chapter 5: Be a Good Boss
After the arrival of 1 million, Chen Dong immediately ordered 950,000 yuan of raw materials, this number was accurately calculated by Chen Dong, which can not only complete the 100,000 battery order, but also let himself have a little money in his hand. No matter how hard you calculate, you can't even live your life.
The source of the relevant fees is explained below, and it will not appear again in the future. The general cost mentioned before is 8.97-9.89 yuan, and the median value is 9.43, at such a cost, it takes 943,000 to make 100,000 batteries, and the fraction is automatically carryed, so it is 950,000. The average production of 600 batteries per hour is 14,400 per day, 432,000 per month according to 30 days, multiplied by (10-9.43 = 0.57) is 246,240, that is, according to the cost of 10 yuan a battery, a machine can be left with 246,240 yuan per month. This money is enough to pay for workers' wages, insurance, rent, water and electricity, labor insurance, office supplies, room and board, Chen Dong's daily expenses and other expenses.
A week later, it was past 9 o'clock in the morning (sleeping late and waking up late), Chen Dong drove to the development zone, and found a black SUV parked in front of the factory from a long distance. Chen Dong couldn't help but have a few question marks in his mind: Who is this? What for?
After parking the car, Chen Dong walked over to take a look, it turned out to be a Highlander, and there were still people in the car, who had parked at the door of their factory, so Chen Dong naturally wanted to go over to ask about the situation.
Knocking on the glass on the side of the cab, the moment the glass was lowered, a young man in his twenties with a flat head and a tattooed arm exposed in a white T-shirt stared and asked, "What are you doing?" β
There are too many young people in Qinglong County who depict dragons and phoenixes, most of them think they are good-looking, fun, or for excitement, and they are not necessarily bad people, so Chen Dong didn't think much about it, but asked rhetorically: "What are you doing parking?" Something? β
"What the hell do you? Which green onion and which garlic are you? Did anyone choke on you? β
Chen Dong almost died of anger, and said angrily: "This factory is mine, what do you say about me?" β
"Huh?" The guy was stunned: "I'm sorry! I thought you had nothing to do, that, we are here to find someone, Li Na, Li Na is working here! β
Chen Dong is so angry! Who has nothing to do? Is buddy such an idle person? I've never seen someone who can't speak like this, but as soon as I heard that I was looking for my own employees, my anger disappeared, and I said very politely: "Yes, Li Na works here." After thinking about it: "Li Na should be on the night shift today, so she should have left a long time ago!" β
"Not yet, you go and get busy, leave us alone."
It can be seen that the guy is still a little embarrassed, so Chen Dong didn't say much.
The factory is an old-fashioned iron fence gate that is usually locked and only opened when raw materials are imported and shipped. Workers commute to and from work through the side door.
The office is a small bungalow of more than ten square meters, with two old-fashioned desks, similar to a writing desk, and a wooden bench on the side wall.
When Chen Dong walked into the office, Aunt Zhou, the accountant, was chatting with Li Na, Aunt Zhou used to be the accountant of the meat factory, and after retirement, she couldn't stay idle at home, so she registered at the intermediary. It just so happens that Chen Dong needs an experienced accountant here, the salary is not low, and the two sides can be said to hit it off.
Seeing Li Na in the office, combined with the fact that she didn't leave after the night shift and there were people waiting outside, Chen Dong knew that something was wrong no matter how dull he was. Sitting in his place and looking at Li Na: "Looking for me?" β
"Yes, something..." Li Na was a little uneasy, her face flushed, and she lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing Li Na's appearance, Chen Dong understood, this is a dilemma, not long ago, Chen Dong was asking for someone for the company, and he was naturally deeply touched. He wasn't embarrassed to ask, but turned his head to look at Aunt Zhou, which meant to ask: What's the matter? You've been talking for a long time, you should know something!
Aunt Zhou is in her fifties, and the wind and waves have come, what haven't you seen? It's just that it's not good to come out of her mouth, so Aunt Zhou didn't speak, just pointed at Li Na with her chin, which means: wait for her to say.
Chen Dong thought about it, Li Na got off the night shift at six o'clock, and she had been waiting for more than three hours, no matter how embarrassed she was, she had to say it!
Sure enough, after a while, Li Na spoke, but her voice was so small that she didn't even dare to raise her head: "I, I want to advance some salary, okay?" β
"Hey~ What do I think is the matter, how much?" Chen Dong suddenly realized, it turned out to be borrowing money, no wonder it was difficult to speak.
"One, ten thousand lines? Looking back and deducting from my salary, don't worry, I will definitely have been working in the factory and will not run. β
"Okay, you can give Aunt Li an IOU!" Seeing Li Na's embarrassed appearance, he knew that he was in urgent need of money, and Chen Dong was not embarrassed to ask what it was for, so he agreed very happily. Chen Dong is still very generous in this regard, firstly, because Chen Dong was poor and bitter when he was a child, and even Raven's start was not smooth sailing, so he naturally knew the difficulty of borrowing money; The second reason is that Chen Dong feels that he has the responsibility and obligation to take care of his employees.
The ancients said: If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. It's a pity that Chen Dong is temporarily incapable and powerless, even if he has the world in his heart, it is useless. However, it is not enough to be alone, at the very least, the ability to take care of employees is still there.
Although Chen Dong is a rural person and a small family, the education he received since he was a child is very orthodox, and his mother is very strict with him. If it were just that, Chen Dong would be a good person and a kind person at most. But from the moment he got the 'Jade Plate', from the moment he learned about the historical changes, rise and fall of the Walt people, everything changed.
Holding the entire legacy of the Walt people in his hands, and because of specific reasons, Chen Dong must keep the secret of the 'Jade Plate', so deep down he has always believed that this is a task given to him by God, and he has the responsibility, obligation, and ability to do something, something meaningful to the country, to society, and to the whole mankind.
Of course, the premise of all this must be to have this ability, if Raven Company goes bankrupt directly, Chen Dong can only go out to work, what ideals, what beliefs, all are flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, you can only look at it.
"Do you want interest?"
Li Na's words made Chen Dong stunned: "Isn't it deducted from the salary?" What interest do you want? Immediately afterwards, Chen Dong understood and said categorically: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, deduct 2,000 yuan a month, deduct 5 months, and the rest should be enough for living expenses, right?" If it's not enough, you can say that you will deduct less points. β
"Enough, enough, enough." After speaking, Li Na hurriedly picked up the paper handed over by Aunt Zhou and wrote an IOU, for fear that Chen Dong would regret it if she wrote it late.
During the time when Li Na was writing the IOU, Chen Dong took out a stack of 100 yuan bills from his bag and put them into the money counter on the table--- which is the kind used by banks to count money with money checkers. Don't look at this office is small and broken, but there is everything, computers, faxes, typewriters (the invoicing kind) and a lot.
After two times in a row, it was 9800, Chen Dong rummaged through his pockets again, and there was no money! Helplessly and a little embarrassed, he looked at the other side: "Aunt Zhou, do you have two hundred yuan in your pocket?" β
"Yes." As she spoke, Aunt Zhou took out her purse from her bag, took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Chen Dong.
"Shall I send you a red envelope, Aunt Zhou?"
"No, I won't use those things of your young people, don't worry, just go back and give it to me."
"Okay, I'll go out later, and I'll give it to you when I come back." Chen Dong put the money into the money counter as he spoke, and then handed it to Li Na: "You count." β
The machine has been passed three times, what else is there to count? There's no need for it! Li Na took the money and said, "Don't count it, thank you Brother Chen, thank you Aunt Zhou." β
"Don't be so polite, just go home and rest if you're fine, it's quite tiring to work the night shift last night."
Aunt Chen smiled and nodded, without saying a word.
"Well, goodbye Brother Chen, goodbye Aunt Zhou."
Chen Dong took out a copy of "Computational Physics" from his bag and flipped two pages, waiting until Li Na walked away before asking, "Aunt Zhou, is there something wrong with Li Na's family?" He asked at this time to take care of Li Na's emotions, and the reason for asking was not for gossip, but out of concern for employees, if there is a real need, Chen Dong is ready to donate some money to Li Na's family in the name of the company, more or less it is all heart, maybe it can solve the problem.
"I heard Li Na say that her grandmother was sick and hospitalized some time ago."
"How's it going? Have you been discharged from the hospital? β
"I was discharged from the hospital a long time ago, Li Na took the money to pay off the debt, saying that the operation fee was not enough, so she found someone to borrow 10,000 yuan."
"Oh, that's fine." Now that he has been discharged from the hospital, Chen Dong is no longer entangled and reads books with peace of mind.
Aunt Zhou also picked up the supermarket leaflet on the table and began to study what to buy. It's not that Aunt Zhou doesn't care about her work, but the accounting of Raven's company is really not so busy, even if the raw materials, finished products, labor insurance, and even food shopping are all under Aunt Zhou's care, this time is also very leisurely.
Regarding Li Na's matter, the version that Aunt Zhou heard was only a part, Li Na didn't say it all because of her good face, and of course she didn't lie. Everything about her grandmother's illness, surgery, and borrowing money is true, and the only truth that is hidden is that Li Na borrowed from a loan shark.
After walking out of the office with 10,000 yuan, Li Na trotted to Highlander. Before she could knock on the door, the window in the back seat was automatically lowered, and inside sat a chubby man who looked to be twenty-eight or nineteen years old, who was none other than Li Na's creditor Ma Chao.
"That's ten thousand, you count." Li Na handed the money in her hand to Ma Chao: "What about the IOU?" β
Ma Chao said casually while counting the money: "Don't worry, girl, as long as the money is okay, the IOU will be given to you immediately." β
The so-called line has rules, Ma Chao really didn't do anything in this regard, and quickly returned the IOU to Li Na, and said: "Sister, if you have something to do in the future, just look for your brother, and next time my brother will give you less interest." β
Li Na didn't answer, she had suffered enough during this time, where did she dare to borrow money from him again, tears fell the moment she got the IOU backβ’β’β’β’β’β’ it was quite tragic to say, the reason why Li Na borrowed usury was not because she was forced to be helpless, but because she was naΓ―ve and thought things too simple.
The person who lent Li Na money was Ma Chao, a security worker in the plastic factory, and Li Na was still a worker. The two people are actually very familiar, and they have been working together for more than a year, can they not be familiar?
Li Na actually knew that Ma Chao had been gambling and lending money in the plastic factory, but Li Na thought that the two were friends, and Ma Chao was usually very generous, so after her grandmother was hospitalized, Li Na thought of borrowing money from Ma Chao.
But she didn't expect that after writing an IOU of 10,000 yuan, she would only get 8,000 yuan... Then, Li Na was told that the 2,000 yuan deducted was the first month's interest.
This is a beheading breath! After thinking about it, Li Na regretted it at the time, and immediately wanted to repay the money, but she was told that it was okay to repay the money now, but she had to repay 10,000 yuan, because the IOU was written as 10,000, whether it was repaid now or within a month, it was 10,000. If you look at it, it's within a month, and if it's more than a month, it's another one. Who are you going to reason with?
Li Na also tried to snatch back the IOU, but how could she, a weak woman, snatch it back. Li Na also tried to borrow money from workers, and also tried to find a financial advance salary, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful, and others were not as easy to talk to as Chen Dong.
Just caught up with the urgent need for money in the hospital, Li Na's brain was hot, so she paid the 8,000 yuan to her grandmother for the operation... Of course, 8,000 yuan is definitely not enough, but with the family's savings, it is enough to borrow money from relatives.
Grandma's surgery was successful, but Li Na's nightmare had just begun, and since then, Li Na has to pay Ma Chao 2,000 yuan in interest every month, and it is now the fifth month. You must know that Li Na's monthly salary is only more than 2,000 yuan, and even the basic living expenses are not enough after paying off the interest, forcing Li Na to often hide outside alone and eat steamed buns and pickles.
Young people, who doesn't want to lose face, if this is seen by the workers, it will be a big loss, so just wait to hide outside and eat secretly before returning to the factory. Thankfully, this long nightmare is finally over.
