Rebirth of the New Farmers in the 1980s

Chapter 80: Bad days are yet to come

  The cost of 60,000 bricks is 600 yuan. Calculated on the basis of 40,000 finished bricks, every third of the bricks can be sold for 1,200 quick dollars.

   "So we have 600 yuan left in one month! Then we will have more than 3,000 profits by the end of the year." Zhang Hai's voice was filled with surprise.

   This is still the case of large losses in the early stage. As their technology becomes more and more purely experienced, losses will drop significantly, and profits will increase.

   There are also bricks that are defective and commonly known as king eight bricks. Although they are strange in shape and non-standard, they are guaranteed to be bought cheaply. Selling the cost should not be a problem.

   One kiln 20,000 pieces of defective king eight bricks can also be recycled 1,200 pieces.

   These are just red bricks, they also have cement bricks and cement tiles.

   "So by the end of the year, it will be almost enough to pay off the loan."

   Look, this is silly again, isn't it?

   The people of that era were timid and simple. The loans owed to the bank would be restless and could not sleep at night, so they would be at ease by doing everything possible to quickly repay the loan. Zhang Hai also thought this way.

   The loan at that time was just like a loan to you. The interest was completely negligible. People who rushed to repay the loan were stupid.

   "What are you worried about repaying the loan?"

   "Of course I have to pay back the money owed to others. Can I live a safe life if I don't pay it back? Besides, the loan officer will not grow up to my house every day if I don't pay it back."

   "You are stupid, right? You can pay the interest. You pay the interest to the loan officer to guarantee that you will not spend the New Year at your house."

   "But won't we be rich by then? Why don't we pay it back?"

   Wanfeng wanted to slap Zhang Hai into the rice ditch on the side of the road, but considering that he may not be able to fight as a soldier and because of his seniority, he did not dare to put this idea into action.

"The members have worked hard for a year. Shouldn't you see the bonus during the Chinese New Year? What do you give to the members after repaying the loan? Did you even make them unable to afford even new clothes during the Chinese New Year? Buy? Not even willing to let go of a firecracker?"

   Zhang Hai scratched his head: "You mean we only repay the interest on the loan, and then divide the money into the hands of the members, so that they can have a good year happily?"

"That's right, when the members have money in their hands, they will naturally get motivated. Wouldn't it be sweet when you have everything you can do! Your prestige will also be maximized, and your order will be Get the greatest execution."

   "It turns out that there is such an operation, why can't I think of it?"

   "Besides using other people's money to make money, fools will not do it. Interest is only a few dollars. Do you know how much profit can be created by keeping this in your hand? The premise is that you don't allow corruption."

   Lao Tzu, this is the experience accumulated after a few decades of living. Do you know now that I have not been so silly all these years.

   Zhang Haimao said suddenly: "Yes! You are right, using other people's money to make your own money, Gao! It is really high! It is simply Gaojiazhuang's high!"

   I didn't watch this movie in vain, I remembered the lines.

   Wanfeng quickly felt that Zhang Hai's footsteps seemed to have become sonorous and powerful, and stomped the ground to the sound of the mountains.

   But all of this is now on paper. Whether it can be realized or not requires hard work.

   The next morning, Xiao Dexiang brought two masters to the Wahou team. After visiting the venue, a group of people designed tile-making molds in the newly built house in the venue.

   After discussion and demonstration, two tiles were finally selected from the four tiles painted by Wan Feng, and then a ridge tile was finalized.

   Xiao Dexiang said that these two tiles definitely have a market in rural areas.

  After the tile mold is set, the cement brick mold is also determined.

  The cement tile molds of later generations are mostly plastic products, but in the 1980s, the plastics are still a rare thing, that is, the national plastics kingdom Taizhou has not formed a large scale in the 1980s.

   Therefore, iron products or wood products can only be used instead. Wood products are easily deformed after being soaked in cement, so Wanfeng still chose iron molds.

  The tile-making mold is actually a small box with a special shape on the bottom and lid. Then, pour the prepared cement into the box after a short period of shaking, and then take the mold to a cool and dark place to dry in the shade.

  The dry time in the shade is usually twenty-four hours in summer, and about two days in winter.

   After the concrete in the mold is completely solidified, it is separated from the mold to complete the production of a tile.

   The principle of making cement bricks is the same.

   Considering the early sales volume is unlikely to be too large and the cost reasons, only one hundred sets of molds are ordered for each kind of mold, and a total of 400 sets of molds including the cement brick mold are included, and each set is priced at one yuan and sixteen dollars.

   This is already a very favorable price.

   Although the price of scrap iron is only three cents, a set of molds requires more than ten kilograms of pig iron, and with the messy procedures such as manual sanding, the cost of a set is estimated to be more than one yuan.

  The factory processing is naturally to make money, and the extra surplus is other people's profits.

  Whether these few people like Xiao Dexiang processed them privately or got them processed in a factory is not something Wanfeng has to worry about. It doesn't matter how they can manufacture them.

   Xiao Dexiang went back with the drawings~www.NovelMTL.com~ promised to make them in one week.

   Zhang Hai also went straight to Dongdan City without stopping to buy machines.

  His busy days are still to come. Buying coal, buying cement, and obtaining a business permit, will be enough to make him feel bad.

   If these things are not supported by the above, he alone cannot solve them, because many things are supplied by votes.

   The price of coal in the 1980s was cheap, like roadside trash, at ten yuan a ton, but nothing could be bought without a ticket.

  Tickets have run through almost the entire 1980s. In Wanfeng’s memory, almost everything in the city has reached the point where tickets or coupons are required for everything.

   No matter it is food, cloth, drink, kerosene, vegetables, meat, and eggs, tickets are required. There are even feces and urine tickets in some places. It can be said that the people in the city at that time would be unable to do so if they did not have a mess of tickets in their hands.

  There are not so many tickets in the countryside. At least there are no egg tickets or sugar tickets, but food stamps and cloth tickets are essential items, and some industrial products cannot be bought without supply vouchers.

   Coal is one of them. As for cement, I can’t remember Wanfeng.

  As a large industrial province, there is no shortage of cement plants in Beiliao Province. When it was first liberated, Beiliao Province had several cement factories with high output.

   Hongya County also built a Portland cement plant in 1978, mainly to supply local needs. There are two products: No. 225 and No. 325 cement.

   Yes, you read it right, it is No. 225, but now many people engaged in construction may not know that there was No. 225 cement.

   No. 225 cement retired from the stage of history probably in 1998 or 1999. Wanfeng can't remember it. Anyway, since those two years, there is no more No. 225 cement in the market.
