Chapter 184 183. Personnel and Spending (Important)

In fact, if an adult wants to take care of a few boys who are only 17 or 18 years old, he can definitely do so.

It’s just a question of whether you find it troublesome, whether you want to take care of it, and whether it’s cost-effective.

Natural Born Killers and the like don't count.

I'm talking about a little kid who is about seventeen or eighteen years old, who doesn't like to study, is lazy, greedy, has no perseverance, is afraid of hardship and fatigue, is skinny and small like a stick, and is annoying wherever he goes.

Just like the three Ronaldins back then.

Luo Qingcai, who claims to be an adult, likes to be in charge. All the friends who used to play together have to work under him. It is satisfying to manage them openly.

"So how are you going to manage it?"

"Don't beat those who obey, but beat those who don't obey."

My goodness, he is a total violent person.

"Get lost!" Luo Yihang started to curse, and then he "persuaded" him: "Think about how I treated you when you first came. When you came back, you wore work clothes, but they didn't; your salary was 3,500 yuan, but they were 2,000 yuan; you lived in a single room, but they lived in a dormitory. You have to show that you are different from them at all times, so that they will envy you."

"When they are working, you also keep score for them. If they do a good job, they will get bonuses."

"We also need to set up role models and praise the best performers frequently. When recording points, we need to say out loud how much bonus they can get based on their score."

"understand?"

Luo Qingcai nodded immediately, "I understand, just like you praised Xiaozhi."

"This child is teachable!" Luo Yihang was very pleased.

"Boss, do you want to change the mattress? I'll change it for you."

“……”Forget it. I can’t ask too much from a guy who didn’t even study well in junior high school.

Luo Yihang waved his hand and let him go.

Luo Qingcai turned around obediently, then turned back, "Boss, can't I beat you up?"

I haven't forgotten this yet.

Luo Yihang called him over and whispered, "After those guys come, they will be employees. If you beat them up, what will they do if they file a labor arbitration?"

"Oh." Luo Qingcai pursed his lips, looking a little unhappy. How much he wanted to beat someone up.

"Silly boy." Luo Yihang was helpless and nodded at him again, "If he really doesn't listen, you should call his parents first and get their consent before beating him. Then it will become you, the older brother, teaching your disobedient younger brother a lesson..."

Luo Qingcai left, and Luo Hongzhi came back. It was much easier to talk to Luo Hongzhi. "Follow Ma Zhitao for a while and help him build the mushroom house. Later, I will give it to you two. You can take some."

Finally, it’s Luo Shaoan.

After hearing Luo Yihang's arrangements for him, he almost cried.

"Boss, don't you want me anymore?"

"Hey~~Don't say such disgusting things, I never wanted you at any time."

Luo Shaoan's face fell.

Luo Yihang advised earnestly: "Our relationship is purely based on money. You work for me and I pay you. Don't think about it."

"Then why are you driving me away?"

"When did I kick you out? Secondment, it's secondment, understand? I'm still the one paying your salary."

"Like Ponyboy?"

"Little Brother Ma? You call him that. How can he be like Little Brother Ma?"

Having strayed off topic, there was a generation gap, so Luo Yihang pulled me back and said, "I will temporarily send you to Luo Zhiqiang's place to work with him to build a mushroom bag production line. We will also recruit people from your village. You keep an eye on them. We'll need five or six people first. It doesn't matter if they're a little lazy or naughty, but we don't want bad seeds. Come back when you're done."

"You can come back." Luo Shaoan heard this and put his heart at ease, grinning foolishly...

Luo Shaoan is smarter and has more foresight, so Luo Yihang plans to train him to be more outgoing and see if he can become independent.

Luo Hongzhi is hardworking, serious and responsible, but a little introverted. He can't go out, so he goes inward and sees if he can manage production and assist Luo's father in the future.

Luo Qingcai, Luo Qingcai...just take care of him first.

Luo Yihang assigned tasks to each of the three little Luos, and he found it quite interesting.

The company, which was only established a few months ago, has already set up a management team.

Let middle-level leaders who are 17 or 18 years old manage problem teenagers who are 17 or 18 years old.

If I hadn't been soft-hearted and recruited three little Luos, I wouldn't still be targeting those teenage bad boys.

It is not because we take advantage of children's innocence and are easy to deceive. They are very useful after they are taught well.

But having only small ones is not enough.

We also need someone older and experienced who can hold the fort.

It’s the role of Luo’s father.

Thinking of this, Luo Yihang took out a bottle of wine from his bag.

"Dad, get you a bottle of wine."

"Why is it so good today?" Luo's father took it and looked at it. "Wow, Wuliangye, where can I get such good wine?"

He said he couldn't drink it, but he didn't put it down.

"I don't plan to let you drink it alone, but you can treat others to drink." Luo Yihang said with a smile.

"Others? Please you?"

"You misunderstood. Don't invite me. Invite your old friends, such as Uncle Luo."

"What nonsense! That's my old friend. He belongs to your grandfather."

"Then why do you let me call him uncle?"

"You're not old enough. That's how it is in our village. Seniority is all a mess."

In the village that was built in the 1960s and 1970s, the generational structures are all messed up.

Uncle Luo is seven or eight years older than Luo's father, but he is the one who records work points together with Luo Yihang's grandfather Luo Hongyi, so he is of the grandfather generation.

The same goes for the village head’s grandmother, who is young, in her early sixties, and of a higher generation.

Amber, on the other hand, was older and moved here late, so his work points were recorded together with Luo's father, making him a younger generation.

There were also people who were transferred to other groups or teams, and it was too chaotic, so we just ignored it and just called them by their age, whatever they wanted to call them.

Luo's father chattered for a while, then realized, "Your child has something to say, so let me go and talk to him."

"You are wise." Luo Yihang raised his thumbs up, "That's what I think. You see, Uncle Luo is in good health and can grow wheat by himself. His family is not around and he is all alone. He is also an old hand. He must be one of the best farmers in our village."

You have to add the adjective, you have to say "one of the best", you can't say "the best", otherwise Mr. Luo will not be convinced.

Dad Luo nodded every time he said each of these points.

Then, "Our family is going to be busy. I plan to ask you to talk to Uncle Luo and invite him to come to our family to work. I will pay him a salary."

"What are you going to let him do?"

"I told you last time that we're going to build a greenhouse on our terrace, one big one and ten small ones to grow different things. I plan to let you take care of the big greenhouse, and Uncle Luo will take care of the ten small ones. You don't have to do any heavy work, and I've hired some people, and you two can just lead them to do the work."

Father Luo thought about it and felt that he really couldn't manage it, so he asked again: "How much do you plan to pay your uncle Luo?" "Your salary is 5,000, so he must get less than you, 4,000."

"It's not appropriate, how about five thousand?" His tone was not so sure.

Luo Yihang understood, "That won't work. I definitely can't give you the same price as you. Four thousand and five hundred is fine. No higher."

"Okay, I'll tell you about it."

Take it easy.

The last link in the staff reinforcement is Comrade Zhang Guiqin, the old lady in the family.

"Mom, there will be more than a dozen people eating at home in the future. Please ask which aunt in the village is willing to come to our house to cook three meals a day. You can decide the wages."

"That's not easy. Just call and they will come. We have nothing to do."

Dad Luo and Uncle Luo are in charge of production, Expert Ma and Luo Hongzhi are in charge of mushrooms, Luo Qingcai is in charge of newcomers, Luo Shaoan is on assignment, five or six kids are in charge of the hard work, there is an auntie who cooks, and mom takes care of the logistics.

It’s almost done. We have upgraded our small Qingyin Agricultural Company to a regular army.

Open the whole.

Spend money.

Call Li Zheng.

The next day, on the river beach.

Luo Yihang, Ma Zhitao, and Li Zheng, the three of them were like three old farmers, squatting in a circle, and each of them took a small stick and wrote and drew on the ground.

"Technician Ma, I think the rainwater collection you mentioned is really unnecessary. We don't lack water here. Isn't the purpose to get clean water? We can draw water from the filter pool and make a 500-liter water tank. Then connect the water tank to the water purification system, and we will have clean water. Moreover, after passing through the water tank, the temperature will be stable."

"There is no problem with permeable bricks on the ground. The bricks are compacted, and a layer of coal slag is laid underneath, followed by a layer of sand. Bricks are laid on top of the sand, and sand is sprinkled in the gaps between the bricks to ensure that no soil is exposed and the ground is not considered hardened."

"Alas, I have no choice. Why can't we suddenly stop hardening the ground? I have no other choice but to think of this trick."

"A vaulted roof is better, because it has high strength and better thermal insulation. But if you want to lay solar panels, you have to have a flat roof. Is it necessary..."

Li Zheng said this and looked at Ma Zhitao.

Ma Zhitao looked at Luo Yihang again, "Boss, what do you think?"

"I think..." Luo Yihang was also thinking about this question and asked, "Does the mushroom shed really consume so much electricity?"

"Really." Ma Zhitao was very sure. "Conservatively speaking, it's 16 to 18 kWh of electricity a year. This is not irrigation, it's agricultural production electricity, 7 cents at peak, 2 cents at valley, and 5 cents at normal. Let's use 5 cents per kWh, and the electricity bill is 9 yuan a year."

(I put some first-hand data in the author's words, you can take a look if you are interested.)
“If we install solar energy, we won’t save much…” Luo Yihang pondered.

There is a 10kw solar panel on the platform, which can theoretically generate 9000 kWh of electricity a year.

In fact, from the time it was installed till now, it has generated more than 3,000 kWh of electricity, which is several months, even in the hottest summer.

The most important thing is that it cannot store the electricity it generates. What can such a small battery do?

If used directly, even if it is full, and 10 more sets are installed to generate electricity to the theoretical value, 9 kWh of electricity a year is still not enough for half.

10 sets of photovoltaic panels cost 30 yuan.

Theoretically, you can save 40,000 yuan in electricity bills a year, and it will take seven or eight years to pay back the investment. In reality, it may take more than ten years, as the service life of photovoltaic panels is only a few years.

Is it necessary to invest so much money?
Ma Zhitao is too young and has no experience.

Li Zheng doesn't do this.

Luo Yihang decided to find some people for advice.

"Hey, Technician Zhou, I remember you said there was a family raising fish in a greenhouse, using plastic boxes on the ground, and they were raising tropical fish, like chameleons."

"What a brain! You got three of the three facts wrong. That's called raising fish in a tank. They're not tropical fish, they're ornamental fish. They can't just be hot, they can be cold. Chameleons crawl. They're called tri-color dragons."

"Never mind anything. That family wants to heat the water, right? I remember you said it uses a lot of electricity. How much money can you save by installing solar panels?"

"Yeah, that's right, heating in the winter and cooling in the summer doesn't save much money."

"Oh." Luo Yihang understood and was about to hang up the phone.

Technician Zhou hurriedly stopped him, "Wait, wait, wait, don't hang up, listen to me. I know you brought Xiao Ma over. You want to grow mushrooms, right? I thought about it, the principle is really similar. Solar energy is not for saving money, but for fear that one summer will be too hot and the winter will be too cold, and the city will cut off power."

"Oh shit!" Luo Yihang yelled and quickly thanked Technician Zhou.

What is experience? This is experience.

There were three people in a circle, and not one of them even remembered that there was such a thing as power rationing.

There’s no guarantee that the temperature will be extremely high someday, and residents may be short of electricity, so we’ll cut off the agricultural electricity supply first.

In the middle of summer, the refrigeration equipment has stopped and the ventilation equipment cannot work. I want to spray to cool down, but the water pump cannot work.

It was as hot as a steamer in the mushroom shed, with temperatures reaching around 50 to 60 degrees Celsius.

In less than a day, all the mushroom bags in the entire shed will be dead.

Even if you have spiritual energy, it won’t work.

In addition, there is no heating in Tianhan, and if it is too cold in winter, there will be power cuts.

"Just use a flat roof and install solar energy. You must install as much as you can. Don't be afraid to spend money!"

　I've been doing this for so many years, so I still have some connections.

　　First-hand data obtained from inquiries.

　　A family I know has a 1500-square-meter mushroom shed. Last year, their mushroom shed consumed 21 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

　　Last summer, the south was unusually hot. One of their southern colleagues had 3500 mushroom houses and consumed 24 kilowatt-hours of electricity in one month.

　　This 1500-square-meter restaurant produced 75 kilograms of oyster mushrooms last year, an average of more than kilograms per month.

　　The purchase price per kilogram is between 3 and 5 yuan, usually 3 yuan.

　　It is expensive every time the output is low.

　　Their family earned more than 240 million yuan from selling oyster mushrooms last year.

　　I spent 135 million to buy mushroom bags, which is 6 yuan per bag on average. I had to pay for some of them if they died halfway through.

　　电费14万；人工18万，雇了3个人；耗材8万，杀菌药之类；包装15万，就是方的塑料盒；运费10万；垃圾清理4万多。

　　The cost is just over 200 million.

　　In addition, there are daily expenses such as entertaining and giving gifts to buyers in order to collect debts.

　　I earned more than 30 yuan a year.

　　The couple split the income equally and their monthly salary is just over 10,000 yuan.

　　This is the well they dug themselves, so the water is free.

　　When they were planning to do this business, the technicians told them that the theoretical annual output could be 90 to 95 kilograms. However, they never reached the theoretical value. In the first year, they only produced 60 kilograms and lost more than yuan.

　　A bunch of people will die if you don't pay attention.

　　The second year was better, but I lost more than 60,000 yuan.

　　Last year was the third year, and it was the first time I saw a return on my earnings.

　　I invested nearly 400,000 yuan in the early stage of building a shed, renting land and buying equipment. After three years of operation, I still lost more than 300,000 yuan.
