"one two three four……"

When the sound of footsteps and slogans came from the distance, Li Zicheng couldn't help but take a look. These workers who had gone through more than ten days of military training were different. At least they were more disciplined now. They couldn't rush anything, just like

Just like the "management charter" I prepared for them, take your time.

"Zhiyuan!"

Seeing that Li Zicheng was a little distracted, Mu Xiangyue said something complaining.

"Ah...I see! You want to ask me how I'm thinking about it?"

After coming back to his senses, Li Zicheng smiled at Mu Xiangyue.

"Japanese!"

With a sneer, the Japanese-owned factories in Dalian seemed to appear in front of my eyes, all of which had stopped working.

"Chairman, you have to know that doing this is a bit too much!"

After that, Mu Xiangyue said something more serious.

"The Japanese are not the Japan of more than ten years ago. They are quite rampant now. As long as they don't offend us, I think we should take it easy. Besides, we don't need so many workers to follow us now. So

With so many workers here, a month’s wages can reach hundreds of thousands!”

In Mu Xiangyue's view, the most taboo thing in doing business is to make strong enemies, especially those who have privileges and have a country as their backing.

"Business is about being friendly and making money. If we really do this, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid?"

In response, Li Zicheng's brows swept.

"What are you afraid of them for? To put it bluntly, from now on, in China, we just have to compete with the Japanese. If we can't even compete with the Japanese, we might as well find a pit to bury ourselves in. What else are we doing!"

"It's different. What I'm saying is..."

Seeing that the chairman was about to change the subject, Mu Xiangyue quickly took over, but who would have thought that Li Zicheng was too strong to follow and did not give him an equal opportunity to speak.

"There are more than 11,000 workers, and they are all skilled workers. We can recruit them all at once. Not only the locomotive factory, but also the shipyard and machinery factory, the workers will be enough."

"But our machine!"

"Isn't our machine on the way?"

"Leave them alone?"

"Look what you said, there was a telegram from Nanjing the day before yesterday. There are fifteen thousand people in this batch. Plus the 6,300 people in the first two batches, the total is 20,000 people. These people come

Why are you building the railway? No, gravel crushers and road rollers are all on the road. It's just like now, building a house and laying the foundation. Look, it's different when thousands of people are laying the foundation.

No, yesterday Lao Li,"

Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel proud. There is strength in numbers, this saying is absolutely true.

"Over there, the foundation of the motorcycle factory has been laid solidly. Didn't you say yesterday that the Qixin cement has arrived and there are not enough bricks? Let's look at using stones to build the wall foundation of the factory. When we order it from the United States and Germany,

Once the machines have arrived, the factory will be built. When the time comes, those workers will stand inside and we will start building machine tools!"

After blowing out a puff of smoke, Li Zicheng pointed outward with the fingers holding the cigarette.

"By then, before this pier is repaired, we will not only be able to lay the railway to Huoqiu, but we may also be able to run our own locomotives, the most advanced locomotives, on our railways, but..."

His voice lengthened slightly, Li Zicheng turned around, stared at Mu Xiangyue and said.

"These workers can bring us more workers. We can now buy some machines and set up a technician training school. Don't underestimate those workers. Among the more than 10,000 people, according to the telegram, there are senior technicians.

Yes, it’s a big craftsman, at least seven or eight hundred, what is this! Baby!”

Even a hundred years from now, these hundreds of senior technicians will be treasures! What’s more, in this era.

"We select those who are literate and smart among the people from Nanjing and hand them over to these senior technicians. The Shahekou Technician Training Institute provides training every six months. According to this rule, in one year, they can train us tens of thousands of people.

An ordinary worker. As for those ordinary workers, we can first set up some factories, resettle them, um, get retraining, so that by next year, the foundation of Liuhe will be laid!"

"Can,"

Mu Xiangyue smiled bitterly.

"Well, Chairman, no matter how good your plans are, even if they can bring us a lot of benefits in the future, there are some problems that we have to consider."

He looked out the window, listening to the increasingly distant slogans, and then turned back.

"Zhiyuan, let's put it this way, when those workers come and get jobs, our company will arrange jobs for them. Moreover, these people have families to take care of, and they also have to solve their housing problems. This is not like dealing with

Just like those people, building a straw shed will solve the problem. Let’s not talk about the extra money it will cost a month. It’s just these technicians who bring their families here. How to solve their houses? They are not those people.

A militiaman who eats alone and the whole family is not hungry!"

"The house, um..."

Hearing these two words, Li Zicheng fell silent.

House, looking at the three-story red buildings being built outside the window, Lianyungang is a place that I have planned well. I even hired several foreign construction firms to plan Lianyungang well. But in fact, until

Now this is just a coastal area in northern Jiangsu with poor land and poor people.

Not to mention building houses for those people, even the red bricks used in those small western-style buildings were shipped from Shanghai. Those German architects refused to use the adobe bricks fired in nearby earthen kilns. The strength was too poor and they were only used as mechanisms.

The bricks are 60%, and the last resort is to buy bricks in Shanghai. At the same time, it is planned to build several wheel kiln factories in Lianyungang. At least before the end of the year, Lianyungang is a gold-swallowing beast that only eats but does not spit out. Under this situation, it is possible to build bricks for workers.

Dormitories or residential buildings?

But the problem of workers’ housing has to be solved. If Lianyungang cannot give those workers a feeling of home, they can raise wages and poach people from Dalian now. When the Japanese realize that they cannot survive for a year, they will

Can poach its own workers.

In this era, what China lacks the most is technicians and skilled workers. If they only regard this as a place to make money, sooner or later, they will leave Lianyungang. The tactics they use against the Japanese today may not be the same tomorrow.

falls on oneself.

In the past, when I was in the company, what was my dream? It was to buy a house, have a nest of my own, and have a home with tiles. In China a hundred years later, this is an unattainable dream for many people. How many people are because of this?

That piece of tile became a house slave.

House slaves!

This word only made Li Zicheng's heart flutter. Yes, that's right, he was a house slave.

House slaves!

With this word in his mind, Li Zicheng's eyes lit up.

"Ouchu, I thought of a solution!"

Then Li Zicheng expressed his thoughts.

"We will give those workers, not just the workers we recruited from Dalian, but also the demobilized militia soldiers recruited in Nanjing, a home for each of them. We will let them settle here, that is... give each of them a home!"

"What?"

When she opened her eyes, Mu Xiangyue could hardly believe her ears. What a joke to give everyone a home.

"Just build a house for each of them! They will feel at ease after settling their homes here. The salary is high, they live well, and they eat well. What else can they be dissatisfied about? Especially those people, those people may bring

There are some troubles, but we must let them see hope!"

"hope?"

"Yes, it is hope. We want them to see the hope of a better life. At first, houses will only be given to those senior technicians, and then we will select some outstanding ones for them. In the end, everyone will have their own house. This is hope.

, who wouldn’t want to live with a wife and children who are hot on the stove? Once they see hope, they will naturally work harder. Once they have a family, their minds will naturally settle down, and they will naturally not cause trouble."

At this moment, Li Zicheng began to admire himself. When faced with a difficult problem, he used a simple method to resolve several problems.

"Of course, the house, the house is not given to them for free. Let's calculate the cost of the house first, and then let them pay in installments. Well, pay a down payment first, and then pay the rent. After a few years or more than ten years, they will

You can own that house, and when the time comes, you will naturally not want to leave, and as you can see..."

Pointing out the window, you can see some small vendors in the distance. Those small vendors came here because the workers gathered here.

"We need to pull out the airs of this city as soon as possible, even if it is just a temporary simple building. In less than three months, there will only be more and more workers here. When there are more people, shops will be needed. There are endless business opportunities. The company will build

We can build temporary buildings and rent them out to vendors, so that we can collect a decent amount of rent and relieve the company's financial pressure."

Feeling a little thirsty, Li Zicheng picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Can,"

Mu Xiangyue, who finally had a chance to refute, quickly expressed her opinion.

"We now need to import bricks from Shanghai to build office buildings and factories. Let's not talk about how much it will cost to build a house for them and how much money it will take up. How to solve the problem of building materials alone? Have you ever thought about this Zhiyuan?

No."

Rather than building houses for workers, Mu Xiangyue is more willing to use financial and material resources on factory construction. This is the right way, and what Li Zicheng said is just a temporary fantasy at best.

"Liuhe, in the future, I want everyone to look up to Liuhe, not just because of its industry, but also because..."

After a long silence, Li Zicheng smiled.
