Chapter 689 The Trajectory Remains Unchanged

I don’t know since when, the topic of discussion at the wine table has changed from the death of ordinary life. To asking about income, girlfriends. And talking about what awards each other’s children have received for their academic performance.

However, since Yang Dongxu started to bring a truckload of New Year’s goods home during the Spring Festival since he was a child, and then distributed them to relatives and friends. This has been the case for more than ten years. Even if he doesn’t come back for the Spring Festival, he will send New Year’s goods back. After that, few people talk about his income outside at the wine table.

This year, Zhou Ya accompanied him back to celebrate the Spring Festival, although she didn’t say anything. Zhou Ya didn’t admit it, but this year, Zhou Ya accompanied Yang Dongxu’s relatives to visit relatives during the Spring Festival. Everything is different from other rural marriages. There is still a banquet. The red envelopes given by relatives and friends, as well as the three golds bought by Yang’s mother, Zhou Ya took them all away when she left.

So after eating and drinking at the wine table, the topic naturally shifted to when Yang Dongxu would have a child. This question made Yang Dongxu very upset.

Is it because he doesn’t want a child and doesn’t want to hold a banquet? But it’s easy to have a child, and Zhou Ya also wants to have a child earlier, after all, she is not young anymore. But it was really not up to him to decide on marriage. If he could decide, he would have done it directly on New Year's Eve when he came back before the New Year.

So when faced with such a question, he could only smile foolishly and respond vaguely. This made his parents very dissatisfied and they always glared at him.

After drinking, everyone left the table. In the past, several cousins ​​liked to sit down and play a few rounds at this time. They didn't bet much and just killed time. But this year, the two cousins ​​obviously had something to say.

"Xuzi, what do you think about going to Jiaxing, or even further south to run a small factory?" The second cousin He Xin asked after a pause.

Although Zhejiang Province has never had a first-tier city, even when Yang Dongxu was reborn in the future, Hangzhou was still trying to become a first-tier city.

But the economic development of Zhejiang Province has always been at the forefront of the national team. Especially under the leadership of Huaxiu, the domestic clothing industry has flourished in recent years and has been exported abroad. It has brought up a large number of small clothing factories.

He Xin is talking about this kind of small factory, which is a more popular term, that is, sweater sewing. In recent years, such small factories have sprung up in Zhejiang Province like mushrooms after rain.

Most small factories have 20 to 30 people, and some have only 5 or 6 people. Then they take orders from large garment factories and work day and night. Many people in later generations said that now, whether large or small factories, workers are used as livestock, so there is a labor shortage in the south in later generations.

But you have to admit that it is this inconspicuous assembly line that works in two shifts every day that feeds thousands of families at that time.

The only difference is that some people make money by doing this, and those who have business minds take out the money they earn and open a small factory, or make other investments and slowly become bosses. And some people use the money they earn to improve their lives, and they don’t have business minds, and they are still workers in the end.

The former succeeded, and the life of working day and night became the struggle history of their first pot of gold. The latter did not succeed, so this kind of life became a hardship that cannot be looked back, and different people have different results and different cognitions.

"Why do you want to do this?" Yang Dongxu asked a little curiously.

After my eldest cousin Heli got married, the whole family went out to the construction site and made a lot of money. Now my eldest uncle is a small contractor.

My second cousin Hexin originally wanted to learn cooking. It is said that he did a good job in a hotel and was about to open a small restaurant. I didn't expect that the two of them would suddenly come to me today to ask about the trap.

"We two want to do some business together. Hexin's mother-in-law's family in Jiaxing does this. Hexin went there for half a year last year. You went to college and know a lot, so we want to ask your opinion." Heli said.

This statement obviously has a bit of the fallacy of "college students should know everything." However, it is a fallacy for others, but Yang Dongxu really understands this point. After all, he is the boss of Huaxiu, the largest garment factory in China.

"What are you thinking about? How big and how many workers are you going to recruit at the beginning?" Yang Dongxu asked.

Yang Dongxu was not surprised that his second cousin's mother-in-law's family did this, because in the future, their mother-in-law's family did this. Although they did not make a fortune, they made a small fortune. Not long after my second cousin got married, he also made some money by doing this with his wife.

However, in this life, the two of them have more choices, such as taking on projects at construction sites, opening a restaurant, or following my grandfather to drive a sports car, or even finding an easy job in the city, my grandfather can arrange it for them.

So after my second cousin got married, he thought Hexin wanted to learn cooking and prepare to open a restaurant, but he didn't expect that things would return to the established track after twists and turns.

"I asked around and found that it doesn't cost too much to do this. Heli and I can each take 20,000 yuan, rent a factory and buy some sewing machines. In the early stage, we can provide food and accommodation without paying wages, give some pocket money every month, and then settle everything at the end of the year. My mother-in-law's family did this, so 40,000 yuan was enough for the start-up capital." Hexin said.

In fact, it is not only small factories that do this, but now large factories also do this. Basically, they provide food and accommodation, and then calculate the monthly salary and give some pocket money, and the salary is paid uniformly at the end of the year.

The advantage of this is that it reduces the financial pressure on the factory and reduces the worker turnover rate, because the salary is gone when the workers quit. But there is also a drawback to doing this, that is, if the factory collapses, or the boss runs away due to some problem, then the workers' work for a year will be in vain, and they will not even have enough money to go home to buy clothes for their wives and children. No.

So slowly these rules and regulations began to be eliminated, because when workers began to have choices, they simply did not come to work in factories with such regulations.

However, in private small factories, this situation will continue for a few more years, but the situation of small factories is different from that of large factories. Their workers are not recruited from outside, but are contacted at the end of the year from their own village or nearby villages.

In fact, many of the workers contacted were minors aged fifteen or sixteen, and the oldest ones were only around eighteen or nineteen years old. I have never worked outside the home before, so my parents are worried about going out. So when I meet someone I know, I ask my children to go out with me, and I feel relieved to have someone I know. At the same time, because they are people they know, they are not afraid that the boss will run away, so they still settle their wages in this way.

"When I was studying in college in Hangcheng, some of my classmates were from Jiaxing, and their families had some connections in Jiaxing. If you really want to do this, make it bigger and borrow some money from my dad. Let's get the space first. Spread it out, we will also receive business," Yang Dongxu said after a while.

Although he has not taken the initiative to give any advice to relatives at home for so many years, he supports whether relatives work or do business. He had previously thought about waiting for his elder cousin to complete the project on the construction site, and then he would pay for him to open a small real estate company.

If the second cousin wanted to open a restaurant, he would ask the experienced manager from Yang Jiayan to help him, and he would also invest some money to help him open a bigger restaurant.

Now that the two of them jointly want to make sleeves and open a factory, he is naturally willing to support it. But because he is not married yet, he is younger than the two of them. Don't feel a little uncomfortable lending money to the two of them directly, so you brought up your father.

"Why don't we try this first? I'm afraid it won't mess up when it's so big." He Xin was still a little worried.

It's not that he doesn't want to borrow money, he and Li Li both know that as long as he opens his mouth, his wealthy third aunt's family will definitely lend them money to do business. After all, they didn't have any bad records over the years, and the third aunt always felt that they were conscientious and upright, much more reliable than the uncle from the second aunt's hometown.

"In this case, you can do business by yourself. In two days, you can go over and take a look at the storefront. Isn't the second cousin's mother-in-law over there? Ask his family to help with the check. You first need to clear the place of machinery and workers. Let’s get started first. I’ll help you contact your classmates to see if you can get some business.”

"That's great. As long as there are orders, the factory can be up and running in an instant." He Xin looked happy. Although his little cousin was a few years younger than him, he had always been reliable in his work and had never let them down.

While the three people were talking this, a Santana car entered the village and drove directly to Uncle Yang Dongxu's Shengli's house. Thinking of what a few people on the street said about Sanhong this morning, he couldn't help but frown.

"You guys sit down for a while, and I'll go to my uncle's house to see what's going on."

"Okay, you go and do your work. We'll be summarizing it later. I'm a little nervous doing this for the first time."

"Haha, if you think it works, then do it. Our family can still afford it with the money. My opinions may not always be right. After all, I have never been exposed to condoms. I have been doing this for half a year and I definitely know more than I do. Yang Dongxu responded with a smile and walked towards his uncle's house.

Because it was afternoon, the market had stopped and many stalls had begun to close their stalls. The streets that were crowded in the morning were now somewhat empty, with only a few unsatisfied children still wandering around some small stalls.

When I arrived at my uncle's house, the courtyard was very lively. I saw my uncle Shengli, who had a lot of drinks at noon, and was blushing. He was patting Sanhong on the shoulder and calling him brother. Opposite the two people, stood a slightly dark-skinned man with a smiling face.

"I asked you, why are you so ungrateful? Why don't you give up some? Can you spare a piece of meat? It would be great if we all make money together. Why do you insist on taking it all for yourself?" said the blushing uncle with a thick neck, pointing at Shengli. The man lectured with foam flying from his nose.

The man tried his best to keep a smile on his face, holding a cigarette in his hand and taking the initiative to light it for Shengli. Sanhong supported Shengli with one hand, fearing that he would be unable to stand, and looked at the man with a sneer, as if to say: "Aren't you a cow? Why are you pretending to be a grandson now?"

"Xu Zi is here, come."

"You are everywhere. If you drink a few more glasses of horse urine, you will no longer be you. Why don't you go to heaven if you are so capable?" Seeing that Aunt Yang Dongxu hadn't finished saying hello, Grandpa Yang Dongxu walked in from the door angrily. .
