Hua Kuoshan two years ago mobilized Dapeng to partner in the contracting of brick factory mechanical billets, want to use technology in the brick factory to make money, in order to achieve the goal, he and his family often come to help work, because his uncle and Lianqiao is the relationship between the factory director, to ensure that there is no problem in the economy, do everything possible to let Dapeng out of the mountain, bent on investing in equipment to produce bricks to make money.

Since Hua Ying and Hao Liang were hospitalized four times in an accident, not only did they suffer physical injuries, but also suffered serious financial losses. Dapeng opened a stationery store at the entrance of the county middle school, whether it was selling stationery and sports supplies, but also selling toys, balloons, honey, fungus, landscape calligraphy and painting, entered an oven to make cakes, baked baked cakes, and bought manual typing and mimeograph machines, printed teaching books for the school, and also wrote legal complaints.

Hua Kuoshan came to Dapeng many times, and he had no idea the complexity of the brick factory.

"Not only do I have gastroduodenal ulcer disease, but I also have severe rheumatoid arthritis, which makes it difficult to walk," Dapeng said. ”

Kuoshan said: "I will open a small stove for you in the brick factory, buy a motorcycle for you, and I will do the heavy work, and you can be the conductor." ”

Dapeng said: "Contracting the semi-finished products of the brick factory machine is to make money, although your uncle is the factory director, he is afraid of being cheated of money." ”

Kuoshan said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, the contractors of the brick factory are all my relatives, and I guarantee that they will not deceive people." ”

Dapeng said: "I do earn some money in Shanxi, and I don't have any money to build a house and your aunt and Haoliang have an accident." ”

Kuoshan said: "I am responsible for the money, you are only in charge of the technical command, and I promise to listen to you everything." ”

After Hua Kuoshan came to mobilize, persuade and ask for help many times, especially persuaded two years ago, Dapeng had no way out, so he had to lose money to subcontract the store, and the remaining counters and stationery were all pulled home, and hundreds of yuan of materials were finally sent to Huaying's relatives.

If you want to contract the semi-finished products of the brick factory, you must first buy a brick making machine. I couldn't buy it after going through many brick factories, and finally bought an old brick machine in Linzhuang. The brick machine looks old, it was originally bought by Liuwa brick factory for 12,600 yuan, the 450 brick machine is large, and the three-stage reducer is connected with a 20cm channel steel base, supporting a blank cutting machine, a total of four tons of weight, only 4,280 yuan scrap iron price to buy.

When the machine was pulled outside Dapeng's house, the reducer oil cover was opened, the gears were all new, it is said that the brick factory was bought and closed down before it was used, and the machine was put there for nearly seven years, but it was not put into production at all or new.

Several directors of the brick factory came to visit, and Bai Er, Kuoshan's brother-in-law, also wanted to buy shares, and he also sold the oil press of the oil mill, so he had to participate, what should I do?

Dapeng said: "There is a problem with Bai Er to join, and I want to quit but I can't, so I first put forward three opinions: First: If you increase the number of people, you have to increase the equipment, and the two sets of equipment are about 100,000 yuan." If the conveyor and thirty carts process it themselves, about 70,000 yuan is enough. The brick factory must give an interest-free loan of 30,000 yuan, which will be deducted from the settlement at the end of the year. Kuoshan and Bai Er each invested 10,000 yuan, and I invested 10,000 yuan, and the year-end profits and losses were evenly shared. Second: Kuoshan and Bai Er are responsible for finding people, the management of workers, buying oil and parts, and other external affairs, I am responsible for the management and maintenance of the machine, and you are not allowed to visit the machine before the microphone, so you must know the importance of personal safety. Thirdly, you are all related to each other, and in order to strengthen unity and avoid conflicts, we must sign agreements to avoid problems afterwards. ”

The five factory directors, Bai Er, Kuoshan, and his family all agreed, and signed an agreement on the spot. As a result, the three of them went to other places to process a brick machine, two mixers and blank cutting machines, etc., and went to Liaocheng to buy equipment and materials used in angle steel, channel steel, electric welding machines and cutting machines.

Dapeng is the commander-in-chief of technology, cutting, cutting, electric welding is completely led by him to complete, 32 cart frames, a transport plane, a brick landing gear, eyes were injured by the welding arc many times, the later stage is completed in the blind eyes. Kuoshan and Bai Er only rushed to invest in the purchase of axles, tires, corner belts and belts, and actively assembled the cart, and the rest could only be done under the command, and the courtyard and outside of Dapeng's house were almost surrounded by machinery and equipment.

The brick factory gave an interest-free loan of 30,000 yuan, and Dapeng ordered three Shanghai 50-seat machines in Liaocheng Agricultural Machinery Company, which was the main power of the brick factory's machinery. Each unit is 13,000 yuan, because the purchase of three units at the unit price of 12,300 yuan, has already paid a deposit of 2,000 yuan, and suddenly changed when paying the balance to pull the landline, Kuoshan and Bai Er conspired to only let two units be bought, resulting in the company not allowing the two landlines to spend an extra 1,000 yuan.

Two brick machines and two mixers should have four powers, because Dapeng installed the two brick machines side by side in the opposite direction to ensure the operation of one machine, and the runway was extended on the basis of the landline. The conveyor is completely driven by the extension shaft gear of the mixer on the two brick machines, and the blank cutting machine is driven by the 12 horsepower diesel engine of Bai Er, what should I do if there is one less large landline?

Kuoshan and Bai Er went to Liaocheng South Ring Road privately, bought a car scrap host, it is said that they spent 3,300 yuan, and went to the agricultural machinery company to buy 3,000 yuan of accessories, it seems that it is less than the new Shanghai 50 to spend half of the money, but the power of 128 horsepower fuel consumption is large, not only the cost of the big horse-drawn cart increases, can the waste machine be used?

Kuoshan found a master in Xibei Village, and repaired and replaced the old machine with a salary of 500 yuan, which Cheng wanted to take out the cylinder liner with special tools, and all the 3,000 yuan accessories and 3,300 yuan of the machine were scrapped. The next day, Kuoshan went to Liaocheng and returned the parts with a 13% handling fee, and the old machine he bought could not be returned, and it completely became a pile of scrap iron, and Dapeng had to comfort them.

March 22, 1996 was the day of the start of production, and it was also the day when the village accountant and cashier Hua Daqun was arrested. How difficult is it to invest 100,000 yuan in equipment and 70,000 yuan to complete? The directors of various brick factories came to visit, not only the two large brick machines were installed on the front and back, but also the two three-meter-long mixers were the only ones compared with the brick factories.

It is normal for the new machine to malfunction, and it is understandable that Kuoshan and Bai Er come to watch and learn, and they should not secretly open the machine at night to explore privately. In the morning, the blank cutter couldn't push the blank, and Bai Er kicked the rocker blank with his foot to push it out, and Bai Er was still laughing. Dapeng ran and shouted but it was still too late, the second mud bar couldn't be pushed out, Bai Er kicked his foot again and was caught by the rocker arm, Dapeng kicked off the big belt of the landline, pinned off the V-belt of the blank cutter with a wooden stick, and then went to reverse the wheel, the foot came out from the gap between the body, and blood poured up from his white sneakers, stopped smiling, his face was white, and he was sent to the hospital for hospitalization.

The machine did not hurt the bones, and Bai Er was discharged from the hospital ten days later, he was embarrassed to come to the brick factory to see Dapeng again, and stood on his house all day to watch the brick factory. Three people's work is done by two, Dapeng not only maintains the production of the machine every day, but also has to twist the mud line, the production of semi-finished products completely depends on him, originally suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and duodenal ulcer disease, not to mention what to eat a small stove to buy a motorcycle, and no one cares about the serious condition in the middle of the night.

More than 2 million bricks have been produced, what should I do if there is no empty erection platform? Dapeng let the bricks be stacked around the big kiln. After the shutdown of this day, Dapeng screwed the mud line after maintaining the machine, Kuoshan drank wine from the office and lay down in the fitter room to sleep, and suddenly said in a dream: "Isn't this a pit person?", it's broken, the eldest brother, the brother-in-law, Lianqiao, and Lianqiao's younger brother are all from his family, and something is going to happen?

In the middle of the night, Dapeng tripped over a stone while riding a bicycle on his way home, and his glasses were broken and he was covered with injuries. The next day, Kuoshan came to inform Dapeng not to go to the brick factory to recuperate at home, saying that Bai Er had already gone to work. Overwork and scars, especially the scars in the heart, made Dapeng collapse and couldn't get up, why didn't he let him go to the brick factory?

Let Dapeng see the list of 59,000 yuan of wages, according to the original 9 percent per billet, should produce six million bricks, and the income is more than 180,000 yuan, why do you say that you don't make money? Kuoshan asked Dapeng to pull the old brick machine home, and then gave Dapeng the scrap iron he and Bai Er bought for Dapeng to invest 10,000 yuan, and since then the family has not let Dapeng do it, and he and Bai Er saw that they earned more than 40,000 yuan in the first quarter.

First of all, Dapeng took the old brick machine worth 4,280 yuan home, and went to the county judicial bureau to ask for an investment of 5,720 yuan from Kuoshan, but Kuoshan and his family did not accept it, so they could only solve the problem through the court. At the beginning of the trial, Kuoshan hired a lawyer, and Dapeng submitted evidence from Kuoshan's friend on the grounds that he did not want to earn money and lose money. The salary is 42,000 yuan, and Kuoshan asked his friend to write a salary of 59,000 yuan in order to deceive Dapeng, otherwise he will not be paid.

After the court investigation, not only the salary defrauded Dapeng 17,000 yuan, but also defrauded Dapeng of more than 20,000 yuan in the materials bought, according to Dapeng's request to earn money, the court finally ruled that Kuoshan returned 5,720 yuan to Dapeng.

Although Dapeng sacrificed more than half a year of hard work and did not share the 40,000 yuan dividend, he once again learned a lesson, that is, brothers cannot do business together. He painted the old brick machine and sold it for 6,000 yuan after renovation, which can be regarded as an explanation to the family, and since then he has been determined to never touch the brick machine again.

Kuoshan's friends didn't come to work for him, and he had a conflict with Bai Er in the second quarter of production, and the brick factory lost money and couldn't pay wages, so it was completely paid with red bricks. Bai Da, the director of the factory, made Kuoshan and Bai Er only leave one person in the brick factory, and whoever gave 20,000 yuan to the other party in the brick factory, that is, the 70,000 yuan machine was only assessed 20,000 yuan. Although Kuoshan is Bai Da's brother-in-law, he is still not as close to Bai Er's brother as Bai Da?
