Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Chapter 338 Forest Farm Logging Team

There are more than 300 households in the family quarters of Daliu Forest Farm.

Most of them are forestry workers.

Because too many trees were cut down in the early years, the entire mountain appears bare, with only a few scattered small trees, which exude a sense of desolation in their loneliness.

Now that policies have changed, the annual tree felling quota is continuously decreasing.

The huge forest farm became increasingly desolate.

Without indicators, the forest farm couldn’t even pay full wages. Some people couldn’t bear it any longer, so they chose to take unpaid leave and then go out to find a job on their own.

Some people are unwilling to give up and still cling to their lives, living as tight a life as possible.

In comparison, those families whose members followed Wang Qiang out lived better.

Wang Qiang returned to the forest farm and came to the home of Wang Zhiguo, who had helped him the most.

At this time, many people gathered in Wang Zhiguo's house or sat or stood there.

They were all co-workers in Wang Zhiguo's logging team. When they heard that there was a job that could make money, they all ran to his house, ready to work with Wang Zhiguo.

As soon as Wang Qiang entered the yard with his things in his hands, he was discovered by the people in the house.

"He's back! He's back, Wang Qiang is back..."

Wang Zhiguo was sitting on the kang, and he took a look outside. Seeing that it was indeed Wang Qiang entering the yard, he quickly climbed down from the kang and put on his shoes.

Wang Qiang pushed the door open and entered the room, just in time to see Wang Zhiguo coming out to greet him.

"uncle."

"Well, you're back. What else do you want to bring with you?" Wang Zhiguo said with a smile when he saw Wang Qiang.

"Just a little food for you and my aunt."

As he was speaking, another person came up and said to Wang Qiang with a smile, "Wang Qiang is back."

"Uncle Lin." Wang Qiang called out.

This person is none other than Lin Yong, the father of Dalinzi and Xiaolinzi.

"I heard from your uncle that if you could find us a job dismantling things and make money, we would all come here," said Lin Yong.

In fact, Lin Yong's family is not short of money. Dalinzi and Xiaolinzi are now in charge of their own business. Not only do they have high salaries, but they also receive a lot of bonuses and dividends. Their family is definitely the richest family in the forest farm.

However, Lin Yong was a father and didn't want to spend his son's money, so when he heard that there was a job that could make money, he hurried over.

"Wang Qiang just came back and hasn't had a sip of water yet. Come into the house first, drink some water and take a breath." Wang Zhiguo said hurriedly.

"Come inside."

Wang Qiang followed his two uncles into the inner room. More than a dozen people in the room all turned their eyes to him.

After a rough calculation by Long Xu, the profit from the demolition of the building's internal facilities could be around 5,000 yuan.

In order to help the people at the forest farm, Wang Qiang specifically asked Li Youcai to take over this job.

Now Wang Qiang looked at his uncles and said slowly, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Lin, this job is to demolish the facilities inside the building. There are several things we need to remove, including windows, heating pipes, door frames, and part of the wall."

"This job isn't easy, and there's no pay, but everything we remove belongs to us. Someone who knows about recycling calculated for me that the doors, windows, heaters, and glass removed from this job can be sold for around 5,000 yuan. I thought that wasn't a small amount of money, so I took the job."

After Wang Qiang introduced the job, everyone in the room started talking about it.

"That's fine. Five thousand yuan is a lot of money. If there are only ten of us doing this, each of us will get a share."

"Removing heating pipes, doors and windows, breaking down walls, these are all physically demanding jobs, we can definitely handle them."

"Take... this is a trick."

······

Lin Yong also thought this job was good. Although it was a short-term job, he earned a lot of money.

Then he nudged Wang Zhiguo: "Old Wang, please express your opinion. The children have finished speaking and are waiting for you."

"What attitude can I have? Qiangzi said this job can make money, so let's do it." Wang Zhiguo said with a smile.

Lin Yong was also amused: "You are the captain. If you don't express your opinion, we dare not say anything."

"That's right. Hehe..."

There was laughter in the room.

"Uncle Wang, this building is newly contracted by our company. You can rest assured about everything else. The boss only gave one instruction, which is to pay attention to safety during construction and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Don't worry about the money. If the scrap can't be sold for 5,000 yuan in the end, I'll make up the difference." Wang Qiang said.

Wang Zhiguo immediately shook his head when he heard this. "That's impossible! We're already very happy that you're thinking of us. I know that demolition work is considered engineering work, and there's no fixed amount of profit. If it's really less, we won't blame you."

"Captain Wang is right. We have all watched you grow up. How can we take advantage of you? We take whatever we are given for this job. We really don't make any money. We just think of it as helping our nephew. It's no big deal." Someone in the room said.

"Old Sun is now more aware."

Ha ha····

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Wang Qiang added, "Uncle, we need to prepare the tools ourselves. We need pipe wrenches and sledgehammers. You can consider these and if you don't like them, we can buy some. I have some money here. You can use it first."

Wang Qiang took out a stack of money, about 500 yuan, and placed it in front of Wang Zhiguo.

"That won't work. I can't take your money."

Wang Zhiguo hurriedly tried to stuff the money back into Wang Qiang's pocket, but was stopped by Wang Qiang.

"Uncle, consider this money as my start-up capital. It's the same if you return it to me when you make money later. Let's not argue about this for now."

What Wang Qiang said makes sense.

With so many of them going to the city to work, they need money to feed themselves and to buy land, and they also need money to buy tools.

After realizing this, Wang Zhiguo stopped arguing.

"Okay, consider this money a loan from me. I'll return it to you after I sell all the scrap."

"I'll arrange a vehicle for you to clean up the debris and transport the waste."

Wang Qiang basically made arrangements for everything he could think of, so as to save Wang Zhiguo and the others some trouble.

Lin Yong sighed, "Don't look at Qiangzi's young age; his ability to get things done is far superior to the rest of us."

Wang Zhiguo was also quite moved.

"Then it's settled. When can we go to work?"

"You can go tomorrow. There are rooms in that building that can accommodate people, but there are no beds. I took a look and we can just tear down some door panels and put some bedding in there. There's a snack bar next to the dining area. I've already arranged everything. When the time comes, just go and eat. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Seeing that Wang Qiang thought so carefully, everyone in the room was very moved.

This job has been explained very clearly.

Wang Zhiguo looked at everyone in the room and said loudly, "Everyone has understood what is going on. Now I will set the tone for everyone. No matter how much or how little you earn, we will divide it equally. Those who are willing to work can go home tonight, pack their bedding, and bring the tools they can use. We will set off tomorrow."

"Dry!"

"I'll do it too!"

Lin Yong also expressed his opinion on the spot: "I will do it too."
