Chapter 554 Slippery Hands, Easy Old Deng (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Why put it so euphemistically?

Director Chen said with dissatisfaction, "They're just a bunch of thugs. In the past, they would have been sent to labor camps!"

"You managed to subdue them and then dutifully do cleaning for several days. You must be incredibly strong!"

He was a soldier who had experienced the trials of war, so he naturally had a good impression of a young man like Wu Aiguo who possessed remarkable martial arts skills.

Before, how could he not have any objections to the repair shop, with Wu Zhi as the factory manager and his eldest son Wu Aiguo as the head of the security department?

The repair shop has been quite successful since it opened.

Since the flaws don't overshadow the merits, he didn't say much.

But now, that slight unhappiness in my heart has disappeared.

To be able to single-handedly defeat the real thugs at Deshengmen and make them beg for mercy, that's an extraordinary skill.

Even in the military, he would definitely be considered a top-notch fighter.

He could see it clearly when he rode his bicycle over.

The leader of the thugs was tall and burly, probably over 1.9 meters tall.

His physical strength alone is quite impressive.

Not to mention, this guy hangs out in Deshengmen, and if he doesn't have some martial arts skills, it'll be hard for him to last long.

"I'm just afraid the director will think I'm abusing my power!"

Wu Aiguo looked embarrassed again and said frankly, "My idea is very simple. Rather than sending them to the police station to waste food, it's better to let them do something meaningful!"

Of course, another purpose was to inform Director Chen in advance that Factory Director Wu had a very troublesome brother-in-law.

Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't bring thugs to their brother-in-law's house; they're not your parents.

There may be more trouble in the future, so it's necessary to take precautions.

To avoid people criticizing Director Wu for being heartless and ruthless later on.

"well said!"

Director Chen's eyes lit up, and a relaxed smile involuntarily appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something.

The people on the other side of the street acted very quickly!
The next day, they found a place and set up a coal station for honeycomb briquettes.

All the honeycomb briquettes manufactured at the Gulou Repair Shop are transported to the coal depot for unified sale.

"Factory manager, are we no longer going to sell honeycomb briquettes ourselves?"

The factory's sales team leader questioned the matter with some dissatisfaction.

"Our factory mainly produces civilian machinery and equipment, not honeycomb briquettes!"

Wu Zhi simply called a meeting of team leaders and solemnly announced, "Once the manual coal briquette machine and the manual-mechanical combination coal briquette machine can produce a stable output, we will gradually reduce the production of honeycomb briquettes!"

Then, using a small blackboard, he gave these newcomers who had just been promoted to management positions a good economics lesson.

When the team leaders saw that the profit from one manual coal briquette machine was equivalent to that of three or four thousand honeycomb briquettes, what objections did they have?
At the same time, the repair shop also provides its employees with ample benefits.

That means if you buy a manual coal briquetting machine, it will be supplied at the factory price, and each employee has only one purchase quota.

The repair shop sold thirty manual coal makers immediately.

That's right, the repair shop now has thirty employees. And the recruitment window is still open.

Even the head chef and his apprentices in the kitchen gritted their teeth and bought a hand-operated briquette maker. They either personally negotiated with the neighbors or had their family members negotiate with the neighbors for help in making honeycomb briquettes.

In fact, it had long been known within the repair shop that if an employee had a hand-operated coal briquette machine at home, the fees he would receive from processing honeycomb briquettes for his neighbors would be a stable and long-term income.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense can figure out the numbers!
Therefore, once the factory lifted the restrictions, the first to buy the manual coal briquetting equipment were the factory's own employees.

Next up are the proactive and dedicated individuals.

Liu Guangqi was a thoughtful person, so he immediately got twenty-five yuan from his father, Liu Haizhong, making him one of the first outsiders to buy a handmade coal maker.

In fact, this person has always paid close attention to Wu Aiguo's every move.

There was no way around it; the impression Wu Aiguo left on him on the day he received his graduation certificate was simply too profound.

Unexpectedly, Wu Aiguo, who thought he would honestly return to his hometown to farm after graduation, miraculously stayed in the city and even got a formal job.

He naturally wouldn't even look down on a small street factory.

As a result, the small street factory, with Wu Aiguo's biological father as the factory director, developed into a thriving and bustling place, becoming the center of attention for the neighborhood.

While feeling uneasy, Liu Guangqi naturally paid more attention to the Gulou Repair Shop.

He had a classmate with whom he had a good relationship who was working as an apprentice at the repair shop.

Then, I heard the rumors circulating inside the repair shop and was immediately tempted.

Let alone now, even in the most serious years, it was only right and proper to receive a certain amount of money for helping one's neighbors in a personal capacity.

At that time, I was unemployed, so I earned some money by helping my neighbors make honeycomb briquettes, so that I wouldn't always be broke.

When he returned carrying his hand-made coal briquette machine and personally demonstrated how to make hundreds of honeycomb briquettes, the entire No. 95 courtyard was abuzz with excitement.

As I said before, burning honeycomb briquettes is much better than burning coal briquettes.

However, there are still a few oddballs in courtyard number 95.

They were envious of the hand-operated coal-making equipment that Liu Guangqi had bought, and wanted to take advantage of it without paying, and even wanted to make some money from it.

How could Liu Guangqi possibly agree to that?
He was in high spirits at the time, making honeycomb briquettes for his neighbors from morning till night. He could earn about 50 to 80 cents for a hundred briquettes, which was quite a lot.

His two younger brothers are also very enthusiastic.

Although they had to hand over half of their profits to their elder brother Liu Guangqi, they were still able to earn money through their labor, and their excitement was palpable.

Liu Haizhong was initially somewhat displeased, but after seeing the actual hand-operated coal maker, he was completely reassured.

Of course, he refused to admit defeat verbally: "If I had known it was this kind of thing, I would have made it in the workshop in my spare time, without even spending any money!"

He was just saying it; does he really think the waste in the workshop can be disposed of so casually?

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. The very next day, the old man Yi Zhonghai had his apprentice Jia Dongxu bring back a brand-new hand-operated coal maker.

They told everyone they met that they had followed the advice of their second uncle, Liu Haizhong, and made a handmade coal maker from the waste materials in the workshop, which the Jia family needed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face turned green with anger.

If it weren't for the fact that he probably couldn't win an argument with the old man Yi Zhonghai, he probably would have turned on this old man on the spot. Wouldn't that have put him, Old Liu, in a very difficult position?

This is simply unreasonable!
Liu Hai was depressed, and his face remained dark for a long time afterward, which frightened his apprentices, who thought he had done something to anger their master.
