Chapter 169 Arouse the Bloody Spirit and Start a Fight
Standing on the second floor of the office building, Luo Cheng could see temporary workers working outside the workshop. There are not enough workshops, so the work of painting materials can only be done outside the factory.
Due to the shortcomings of the welding machine, even if all the materials are cut out, the processing speed cannot be increased. What's more, manual forklifts also require hard work to produce. Everything can only be operated by hand, and the efficiency is indeed not high.
At this time, Luo Cheng was thinking about the problem of wooden pallets. Before, he thought of just placing an order directly with the lumber factory for production. But now Luo Cheng is unwilling, because after you place an order and produce it for you, you can't increase the price even if you sell it as a set. For example, the lumber factory charges you a pallet for RMB 1.5, but if you want to sell it with a forklift, you can only sell it for RMB 1.5.
Speculation seems to be only for individuals, but in fact it also exists among factories. Everything sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, no matter how popular it is, does not have a price increase.
A stool only costs about 80 cents from the supply and marketing cooperative. A pallet definitely requires more materials than a stool, but it is simple to make. Just use nails to make it firm. People who don't know how to do carpentry can also make it, but to be on the safe side, if you want to make it yourself, just hire a formal carpenter. Unlike machine operators, carpenters are easy to recruit, and the job requirements are not high, and they are not building houses.
Producing wooden pallets yourself and only buying materials for processing, although the profit is not large, it can use more workers. The number of workers is basically equivalent to the size of your factory. Adding a small industry may not matter to a large factory with ten thousand people, but for a small factory, it is very necessary.
Simply speaking from the factory's own profit perspective, the production of wooden pallets does not actually make much profit, and the price cannot be high. An ordinary table on the market only costs more than two yuan, and the price of a wooden pallet cannot be higher than this, because ordinary people can get it. Nails are also sold in the market. For steel pallets, first of all, the steel materials are not for sale to ordinary people. In addition, welders are required to make them, and they also need welding equipment. All iron pallet processing and sales prices can be set higher.
For wooden pallets, Luo Cheng felt that they could only be priced at one dollar and a half at most. The wood was cheap and the process was simple. There was no need for painting or welding. A few experienced carpentry apprentices could do it.
I wanted to arrange for logistics personnel to run errands to implement the lumber matters. I found that after Director Zhang took away one person, there was only one person left in the factory. There must also be a logistics personnel in the factory, and everything used in the factory must be Logistics staff recorded.
A wooden pallet can be started with a profit of about one yuan. Even if a hundred pieces are produced, the factory can only keep a few yuan as retention money, but the increase of workers is sometimes more important than profit. The reason why state-owned enterprises appear to be crowded with employees after the reform and opening up is that this is also a drawback of defining the size of enterprises based on the number of workers.
I arranged for someone from the human resources department to go to the subdistrict office and recruit a carpenter of any grade, even a high level. In addition to making pallets, he could also make tables, chairs and benches for workshops and offices. If you don’t have a skilled master, you can just recruit an experienced apprentice.
Feeling that there was nothing left to arrange, Luo Cheng returned to the office, holding a blank piece of paper and thinking about the chassis structure of the tricycle.
Agricultural tricycles are different from tractors. Tractors are front-driven and driven by the front of the tractor. The front of the tractor also has two wheels. It can actually drive alone without a body and is a hook-type.
But for three-wheel trucks, the drive is basically installed on the two rear wheels, and the thrust of the rear wheels is used to push it. Compared with four-wheeled vehicles, the advantage of a three-wheeled vehicle is that it has one less wheel and one less wheel resistance, but its turning performance is worse than that of a four-wheeled vehicle.
The chassis cost of a tricycle is not as high as that of a cube car, but the bearings connecting the front end of the tricycle are more demanding. In fact, it is equivalent to having an extra front end than a cube car, but missing a two-wheel bearing and one wheel.
The material cost has definitely dropped a lot, but the processing time may be longer than that of a square car. In fact, the original structure of the square car was similar to the three-wheeled tricycle of later generations, but in order to sell it at a higher price, a four-wheeled car was made.
If it weren't for the fact that the cube car was stuck and couldn't buy more gasoline engines, there would actually be no need to redesign a diesel three-wheel truck at all. The body of the cube car could simply be modified and used as a minivan.
Longyang Town, commune.
Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against a thief?
Although the Third Brigade has set up a patrol team, it can't guard against those who are interested. And if everyone doesn't get the stolen goods, you can't catch a suspicious person as a thief if you see him.
The third team went to pull out pigs today. They were supposed to finish pulling out pigs today, so they didn’t have to run to the city every day. When they were almost running out of feed, they went to the grain factory in the city to pull out rice bran and soybean meal. A few tons, enough to last for many days.
The captain and the accountant all went to the city, and the patrol team kept a small captain, and the deputy captain was responsible for the production in the fields.
In the morning, a shout of "catch the thief" immediately alerted the patrol team of the third brigade. When I rushed over, I saw a person running away. When the patrol team saw it, they thought it was okay. They must have come to steal chickens and ducks again. He immediately chased after him, and the other party didn't run very fast, so he was caught quickly.
The person who was arrested was a person from the second brigade. After he was arrested, he kept cursing at the people from the third brigade. The verbal insults turned out to be group taunts, which made the people in the patrol team uncomfortable. They were so arrogant when they stole things, so they would be beaten later.
Then things developed out of control. First, the people of the second brigade found out that someone in their own team had been arrested by the patrolmen of the third brigade. A group of people came immediately. The arrested people said that they were arrested and beaten just as they were passing by. The people from the third group went too far.
It's okay, rural people are easily agitated, and they are very united. They started working immediately. The people from the Third Brigade went to notify the deputy captain. When the deputy captain heard that the patrol team in his team was beaten up after catching a thief, he waved his hand and hundreds of people were working. People immediately followed him.
Calling so many people to go does not mean to go directly to fight. The main thing is to calm down the situation first and then solve the problem. Generally speaking, if so many people pass by, at least they won't do anything easily again. But things were beyond the deputy captain's imagination.
As soon as the deputy captain showed up with his men, many people shouted that the third brigade had brought people to bully them. Then many people rushed up and started beating them. There was no chance for mediation. Originally, it was nothing, and the people in the third brigade were not cowards. In their opinion, the second brigade favored the thieves, and the truth was on the side of their third brigade.
These days, when people in rural areas fight, no one usually takes the lead, and they dare not say a word for fear of causing trouble and being bullied. But if someone takes the lead, they are extremely bloody and just do it.
Then people from other brigades appeared to start a fight. It seemed that they were here to stop the fight, but most of them were people from the third brigades. Naturally, some people couldn't stand it, and then those from the other brigades also joined in the fight.
After fighting, it became a big team fighting several big teams. Fortunately, it didn't escalate to a physical fight, it was all fists and kicks. Anyway, many people in the last three brigades were controlled. Feng Zhenchang was also 'alarmed', and all the leaders of any brigade were brought to the commune, waiting for investigation and handling.
However, the villagers who participated in the fight were let off first and their names were registered. When it is found out which party was wrong first, they will all be punished.
Luo Cheng's father and younger brother both participated in this fight. Luo Wen's face was swollen. Fortunately, he had eggs at home and boiled one to apply on his face. As for Luo Bing, he has been eating well recently, his body has become stronger, and he can fight fiercely. Although he was also beaten, it was just a few bruises, which would disappear in two days. But the clothes were torn, one after another, and the clothes were not solid, so it would be strange if they were not torn. This made Luo Bing very distressed.
Luo Baotian and his men had just brought the pigs back from the city, and before they were put in the pig pen, someone told him about this. Ask him to go to the commune quickly. The number of people fighting this time has exceeded 500. It is a huge security issue in the town.
Luo Baotian asked the clerk to lead people to get the pigs to the pig pen in front of the production team, and he hurried to the commune. On the way there, he also heard about the cause of the incident. I heard that the fight started because their patrol team caught the thief, who was a member of the second brigade, and was protected by the second brigade.
Hearing that things were like this, Luo Baotian felt confident that if he was on his side, he would have to let others answer the matter to the Third Brigade.
