Molotov lined up in a long line in dirty overalls, his whole body was sloppy, his hair was messy with the smell of engine oil, his eyes were deep, and he looked very haggard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The team went all the way to the Finance Department of the Ministry of the Interior, which was said to soon become the Ministry of Finance in its own right, although it was not yet known who would be the minister. And Molotov came to the Finance Department this time to apply for a loan.

"Name." The clerk of the Finance Division asked.

"Molotov, Russian, thirty-five years old. I had been traveling in South America and had fled the cataclysm to Havana. I've been working in the Legion's factory for three months, my skill level is A, I meet the loan requirements, and I want to borrow two hundred gold coins. ”

Molotov talked a lot when he was nervous, and when someone asked him, he said all the things that were brewing in his heart, and at the same time handed over the loan application he had written.

The clerk coldly glanced at the application, glanced at Molotov a few more times, and asked, "What do you want to take out a loan?" ”

After the chaos of the last days, Molotov seemed to be extremely careful in everything, and he quickly pulled out a few crumpled design drawings from his pocket, and then there was a sample - a kerosene lighter.

"The Legion is still producing matches in large quantities, but I think we should upgrade to lighters. I'm pretty hands-on, and I've always loved collecting all sorts of vintage lighters, which I can make myself with the simplest tools and materials.

In the past, we used to use lighters that needed plastic, electronic lighters, and liquefied petroleum gas, but now these things are gone. And matches are still too troublesome, I think kerosene lighters are definitely marketable.

I set up my own factory, and I have gathered several companions, and all of them are very reliable. We can hire dozens of people, and we can start working after only half a month of training, and there is no difficulty in building this thing. But we don't have the funds, so I want to take out a loan. ”

The clerk grabbed the sample lighter and fiddled with it a few times, the ignition was very smooth, but it was very easy to use, and it was indeed much stronger than a match. So he grabbed a seal in his hand and stamped it heavily on the application, "Your preliminary examination has passed, go to the second floor, where will more professional personnel review." ”

Woohoo...... Molotov was sweating nervously, this loan was related to his future life. But such an important loan does not have any collateral at all, and it all depends on whether the people in the Legion Finance Department are optimistic about him.

The initial review was easy, but the re-examination was more troublesome, and the Legion sent someone to get to know Molotov's team, and watched them build some kerosene lighters by hand and test their performance.

In the end, ......, before the factory was built, an order was placed within the legion for 10,000 kerosene lighters. In the last days, small ignition devices that are easy to carry are very necessary.

Molotov simply happily pulled a ticket to start his own business, and now the labor force in Havana is very cheap, and he can basically recruit a large number of people as long as he eats.

The steel mills of Havana provided the simplest tinplate, grinding wheels and flint were the basic minerals that were easy to acquire.

Kerosene can be purchased from the Havana refinery, and the supply of kerosene is much more relaxed than the tight supply of gasoline and diesel. Production tools are all that is needed with pliers and jigs.

Molotov initially recruited fifty workers, and it took only three or five days to complete a simple training. Under the division of labor and cooperation, 50 people produced more than 1,000 lighters on the first day. Molotov personally took charge of the quality inspectors, taking his partners to check the quality of the lighters one by one.

"The yield rate is not enough, and more than half of it needs to be reworked." Molotov laughed happily after saying this, "But as long as it is produced for a week, I am confident that the yield rate will increase to more than 95 percent." Hahaha...... hey! Brothers, we're going to get rich. ”

In the whole production process of lighters, it is the most difficult to train employees. During this period, scolding and even beating were indispensable. Molotov was even angry with his employees for this, "I taught you only yesterday, and I forgot about it when I slept on it." ”

Technically, in order to support Molotov's lighter factory, the corps even hired professional chemical personnel to help prepare high-quality, low-volatile electric fluid.

To make a fortune in the last days, it is difficult to say, and easy to say. On the same day, Molotov bought a barrel of 'Supreme' vodka, and cheerfully shouted to his partner: "I wish Captain Hugo good health, we have come to the right place, and we can finally live a peaceful life." ”

It took Molotov a whole week to deliver the order of 10,000 kerosene lighters placed by the corps, ensuring that each lighter was of excellent quality. And after confirming that his factory could operate normally, the legion actually placed another order for him for 100,000.

"A lighter costs less than two silver coins, and we sell it for five copper coins, and in less than a month we will be able to repay all the loans, and the rest will be gross profits. I never thought I'd make a fortune selling lighters one day. ”

Molotov, who had no worries about sales, directly expanded production, and his employment soon reached more than 500 people, and the daily output soared to 20,000 animals, and the yield rate soon stabilized at more than 99 percent. But such a production quantity is still in short supply.

The production of lighters was simple, and similar products soon appeared, but in terms of quality and price, no one could compare with Molotov. Havana's industrial production is becoming more and more abundant, the supply of raw materials is getting cheaper and cheaper, and the stable security makes production very stable.

In the last days, soothing goods such as cigarettes have historically been very popular. Havana's 'Supreme' cigarettes have always been very popular. In the past, smokers had a pack of matches in their pockets, but now people prefer to use lighters.

The popularity of lighters has even led to the sale of kerosene at the Havana refinery, and the oil used for special lighters has sold very well. The legion received a large amount of profits and taxes from it.

"Since we opened up the labor market and made personal business loans within the corps, similar small light industry enterprises have begun to appear on a large scale. The variety of goods in the market suddenly increased by more than ten times, and the market vitality suddenly exploded. ”

At the briefing meeting within the corps, the personnel of the Ministry of the Interior frantically patted Zhou Qingfeng's policy of opening up self-employment after the rectification campaign, and the head of his own corps blushed.

"We were worried about the social unrest caused by the large number of idle laborers, but these privately run enterprises have absorbed these people very well and are more efficient than some of the factories we have set up ourselves.

The development of industry has created an enrichment effect, and at the same time as the outflow of goods, more and more people are converging on us in Havana. The Ministry of the Interior estimates that in a year our population will exceed 1.2 million. And we will create more than 10 times as much wealth as before. ”

This is really no work and no wealth! (To be continued.) )
