Chapter 133 Blind Box
Sister Jiang glanced at the large porcelain bowl held by Aunt Six. Inside, large chunks of pork were stewed and fragrant. Although there were some changes in Taoyuan Village due to the arrival of Zhong Tao, everyone still lived frugally, even if it was normal. I eat meat and fish, but I also buy a few taels to fry meat dishes.
But today, Aunt Six, who is so generous, might have weighed more than half a catty in this bowl.
"Sixth Aunt, why do you give me so much meat! Is your family rich?"
"Oh, why didn't our Zhuzi follow the construction team? The money was given out the day before yesterday, and he was so excited that he got more than ten kilograms of meat back. You said he is such a prodigal, even if he has money, he can't spend it like this. He can't finish all the meat. It’s broken!”
Aunt Six spoke of disgust, but the raised eyebrows and the earnest look in her eyes clearly betrayed her true feelings.
She was clearly showing off!
The man in the room couldn't help but ask: "Didn't Dazhu just go to work? Didn't he say that after signing the contract, the salary would be paid monthly? Is it possible that everything in the contract is a lie?"
When Aunt Six heard this, she was unhappy and said, "Don't talk nonsense! How could the contract be a lie? This is overtime pay! Do you know what overtime pay is? Our pillar said, overtime pay Three times the salary! It was settled on the same day! The previous one was paid 100 yuan in overtime pay alone!"
After saying that, he put the big enamel bowl in Sister Jiang's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Jiang, you eat first. After you finish the bowl, just give it to my house, and I will send another bowl to Xiaofang's house!"
"Thank you, Aunt Six, for coming to our house to play often when you have time!"
"It turns out that just for overtime pay, you can get 100 yuan." Sister Jiang sighed, put a bowl of meat on the table, stared at her husband for a long time, and said coldly,
"I feel so regretful."
The man's expression was stiff, his eyes twisted as he looked at the large bowl of meat, but his mood was agitated, with mixed emotions, and two lines of tears silently shed in his heart.
Suddenly life feels so gloomy!
"Puch, hahahahaha." Sister Jiang's healthy laughter sounded from the opposite side.
……
"Brother Zhong! You can also help us make money!"
"Yes, Brother Zhong! We are all part of Taoyuan Village Enterprises. This is what you said. You can also arrange a job for us! Even if it is cleaning toilets!"
"We need jobs! We need jobs!"
Facing more than a dozen villagers who came to beg for help, Zhong Tao was once again stunned. The scene in front of him even reminded him of the "unique scenery" of the beautiful country.
I don’t know, I thought the villagers were all noble-minded and eager to contribute all their strength to rural enterprises.
Zhong Tao actually guessed the reason. After all, after he paid bonuses to the construction team, the people in the construction team reciprocated the favor by visiting small shops and spending a lot of money. For this poor village where everyone was frugal in food and clothing, such a The 'high consumption' is still too stimulating.
But when it comes to jobs, Zhong Tao really has them here.
So Zhong Tao waved his hand and said, since everyone has nothing to do, let's just play in the mud together!
Of course, clay sculpture is not just about playing with mud. As an intangible cultural heritage of Chinese civilization, clay sculpture production actually has a deep knowledge.
For the raw material step alone, you need to select the appropriate clay, and then go through weathering, beating, filtering, and dehydration. Especially in the last step, cotton wool must be repeatedly pounded and kneaded to make "cooked clay", so that no cotton wool can be seen at all. It can be said that it is very difficult.
During the entire processing process, auxiliary materials also require wood, bamboo and rattan, lead wire, paper, silk flowers, etc.
In terms of complexity, it is not inferior to various figures from China.
It should even be said that clay sculpture is the ancestor of the figurine industry.Logically speaking, to do this, Zhong Tao only needs to open a store like other businesses, and then recruit some employees to carry out professional and elite operations.
But after thinking about it for a while, Zhong Tao decided to change his approach.
First of all, the profession of clay sculpture can actually be divided into many steps. The most difficult step among them is of course production. Naturally, this selection must be done with one hand.But there are many steps that actually use labor, such as digging soil and making raw materials, and the threshold is not high.
Furthermore, Zhong Tao could feel that the "reasonable wages" he offered had caused a certain amount of stimulation to the villagers of Taoyuan Village.The ancients said that it is not a matter of scarcity but of inequality. Now some people are making money, while more people can only watch helplessly. This is obviously not ridiculous.
Zhong Tao then simply started a part-time job project. Except for the final "clay sculptor" who was selected and trained separately, the rest were separated. The project remuneration was based on basic hourly wages plus labor performance. At the same time, in order to ensure that everyone could drink To Tang, working hours are limited, and each person is only allowed to do odd jobs for up to 3 hours a day.
Although everyone was not very satisfied with not getting a job with "five insurances and one housing fund", because the odd jobs offered by Zhong Tao also paid very high wages, everyone still worked hard.
Zhong Tao actually wants to quickly cultivate a group of 'clay sculptors'.
Because even if he maximizes the efficiency of making clay sculptures, he can't keep up with the speed of orders coming in. However, cultivating talents cannot be done in a hurry. For the time being, he can only take his time.
However, after subcontracting other tasks such as dredging, processing, packaging, and express delivery, Zhong Tao, who concentrated on making clay figures, suddenly became more efficient.
Zhong Tao also discovered that when it comes to making money, Zhong Tao discovered that this thing is much more profitable than making cakes!
There is one sentence in the Tieba post criticizing Zhong Tao that is right.
That is, the cost of clay figurines is really low, especially compared with the eight yuan a blind box sells for.
Mud, cotton wool, wood... none of them seem to be valuable.
After all, what this thing sells is a craft!
Perhaps the biggest cost is packaging and express delivery. The packaging box is customized, but one clay sculpture can use as much cardboard as possible, so this is not expensive; express delivery is not an option. Even in 06, ordinary people might be able to send it by express delivery. It costs ten dollars.
Even if Zhong Tao negotiates with express delivery as a merchant, the most he can talk about is sending one item for 5 yuan.So Zhong Tao had no choice but to resort to the evil selling method of later generations-blind boxes, and he sold them at a minimum of three.
After all, if he sells alone and adds express fees, he really has no profit.
Facts have proved that the blind box method is still a bit outrageous. Zhong Tao even saw someone buying twenty blind boxes in one go.
This is because Zhong Tao didn't do any tricks, such as a 1% probability of opening an SSR, a small probability of a golden special model, eight diamonds, twelve zodiac suit combinations, etc.
Zhong Tao conservatively calculated that he could earn at least 6 yuan from a clay figurine.
He was almost embarrassed by the money he made!
Therefore, Zhong Tao doesn't mind paying higher wages to his fellow villagers.
"Eighty, eighty? I only worked for three hours? You give me 80 yuan?" An aunt with quick hands felt unbelievable when she looked at the salary in her hands.
"Auntie, you do the best job among all of them. With a basic salary of 10 yuan an hour, plus 50 yuan for performance, you deserve this money!"
