The next day, Chen Lidong told Li Lixin that there was someone at home to help with the work, so there was no need for Xiaosi to go. Li Lixin knew where his home was through Xiaosi and saw the billet, so he didn't worry about it anymore. He arranged for someone to help Chen Lidong install it.

For scrap steel, just unload the steel billet.

So Chen Lidong also worked as a driver, loading, unloading, and smelting. He worked no less than 30 times a day, starting early and staying late, transporting more than 100 tons of steel billets. The accounts were settled every day, and 10,000 yuan was obtained. He also obtained various elemental metals that could not be extracted.

Elements are stored in system space.

Li Lixin's steel rolling mill is positioned for small and medium-sized bars, with diameters from 8mm to 14mm, and fixed lengths of 9m-12m. If calculated based on the 14mm specification, the designed production capacity of a single line is 30 tons per hour. Calculated based on 8 hours of operation, 250 tons of steel billets are required per day.

(30*8=240 tons, the extra 10 tons is consumption

, the output ratio of billet-rolled rebar is about 1.04), with an annual output of more than 70,000 tons. Now this factory produces 150 tons of rebar a day, because the smaller electric furnace affects the output. If the supply of steel billets is sufficient, the electric furnace will be stopped.

Only rolling steel, working three shifts a day, the annual output can reach more than 200,000 tons, and the daily consumption of steel billets is 750 tons.

Chen Lidong's output is 100 tons a day, which is far behind Li Lixin's demand.

Li Lixin thought that Chen Lidong didn't have much inventory, so he didn't turn off the electric furnace. The electric furnace was still refining, but the rolling mill was preparing to produce at full capacity. Now an extra ton of threads would cost hundreds of dollars more.

But Chen Lidong knew that he was using a system furnace to make steel! The process flow is: scrap steel → billet, the operating time is random, the time consumption is negligible, the output ratio is ≥ 60%, the electricity consumption per ton of billet is 60 degrees, and there is no waste water.

Waste residue, waste gas.

What a fantasy production method, but the current production capacity is limited. Yesterday, we supplied 100 tons of steel billets a day. It would be better to increase it to 10 times.

What's the problem? It's not that the furnace is not powerful, but that the supporting facilities are not in place.

First of all, the transportation capacity is not good. The four-wheeler does not have a load capacity of 5 tons. Of course, it can be overloaded, but for safety, Chen Lidong basically transports 5 tons of scrap steel and returns 3 tons of steel billets. How to improve the transportation capacity? First, increase the load capacity of the vehicle.

, get a 50-ton one! Haha, I’m overthinking it. I’m afraid the road in front of his house won’t be able to support it. Chen Lidong estimates that the road at the entrance of the village can carry 10 tons, no problem.

It is difficult to exceed 20. Moreover, in this era, 50-ton heavy-duty trucks have not been built yet. The second is to increase transportation vehicles and add a few more trucks. This kind of difference is still available in Li Lixin's factory, but the electric furnace has not stopped yet, so

We need a truck to transport furnace materials, so it would be a good idea to lend him this truck. What should we do? Hire a truck! Find out from the society how much a round trip will cost, and there will be people with enough money to help.

Secondly, the loading and unloading capacity is poor. Li Lixin's factory has a crane with electric disks, which can lift more than a ton, and it only takes a few minutes to load and unload a car. But Chen Lidong's house only has a courtyard, and it also has a crane? The yard is only more than 100 square feet.

Square meters, can the overhead crane move?

What to do? Chen Lidong pondered for half a night, and finally he came up with an idea, which was to expand the garbage recycling station. How to expand it? Rent farmland as a site! As mentioned before, Chen Lidong’s new house is located at the east end of the village, and there are no nearby

People, then rent the surrounding vacant land. These days, China has not yet enacted a basic farmland protection law. If you occupy farmland, you only have to make an agreement with the village and give you a certain amount of financial compensation.

Finally, the procedures are not yet in compliance. In the past two days, Chen Lidong's father is working and his mother is doing housework. I don't know that Chen Lidong has opened a factory to recycle scrap steel. Next, the production activities will be expanded, with several dozen vehicles coming and going.

, I can’t hide it, I must explain it to my family.

How do you say it? Chen Da is not afraid of cheating, just make it up.

That evening, there was a dinner table meeting at home.

Chen Lidong said, "Let me tell you something. The steel rolling mill at the east end of the village is run by my classmate's brother. The production situation is very good, but the space is not enough. Yesterday, my classmate found me and wanted to rent our new house and surrounding areas.

We want to build a scrap steel yard on the vacant land. Now our house is vacant. My classmate said that the rent is 6,000 a year, and the money for building the house has been spent in two years."

Father Chen: "The rent is so much? That's okay. Your third master's house in the west end of the village is rented to an asbestos tile maker, and the annual rent is only two thousand."

Mother Chen: "Our house is new. It cost 15,000 yuan to decorate. Can we order more?"

Chen Lidong: "Haha, I haven't finished talking yet. That's what I think. The scrap steel market is good now. I want to cooperate with my classmates to collect scrap steel. Let's rent a house in the village and rent land in the village. My classmates and I will do it together. One year

I can earn you 10 houses back."

Father Chen: "That's great. I've seen it. Every scrapyard has a sign for collecting scrap steel. It's 50 cents per pound. But our family has no financial resources and can't afford the capital."

Chen Lidong: "The scrap steel is collected and directly supplied to the steel rolling mill. It is settled every day and is settled monthly. The capital does not cost much. My classmate's brother just takes him to earn a little money. As for me, I will be responsible for renting the house, renting land in the village, and then just look at the piles."

No. Our family doesn’t have to pay for it.”

Chen's mother: "You can do it without paying. Dad, go and talk to the village about renting the land. The secretary is your good friend. The rent should be cheaper."

Father Chen: "Yeah, it's time to harvest the corn in the field. After harvesting, we will rent it. However, you can do your work. Don't delay work. School starts in about twenty days."

Chen Lidong: "Don't delay work. I discussed it with my classmate. He will be responsible for the daytime and I will be responsible for the night. When I come back from get off work, I can do the calculations, keep records, and make updates. I will do business on Sundays and I will make money. .At least a few thousand a month, just wait and count the money."

Chen’s mother: “Why doesn’t it sound real? It’s so easy to make money.”

Chen Lidong: "That's it. I'll discuss it with my classmates tomorrow and finalize it as soon as possible."

When he got up in the morning, Chen Lidong went out and came back with Xiao Si. "Mom, this is my classmate, and his brother is the boss of the steel rolling mill."

Mother Chen: "Come in quickly, do you want to smoke?"

Xiaosi: "I'll light it myself, thank you, Auntie. Lidong, hurry up and find something, I'll wait outside." Then, he lit up the cigarette and went outside to smoke.

Chen Lidong: "Mom, let's go in a hurry. We need to go to the Commercial Management Office to apply for registration of a scrap collection station. We need your ID card."

Mother Chen: "It's in the drawer, take it yourself. Why use mine? You can't do it with yours."

Chen Lidong: "I am a national cadre, so I don't need it. We've found it. Let's leave first and come back in the evening."

When he came out of the house, Chen Lidong gave Xiaosi two boxes of cigarettes.

Xiaosi is so happy. Just now, Chen Lidong went to the factory to settle the bill. When he came out, he called him and asked him to take Chen Lidong home to pick up his things. After such a trip, he got two boxes of Xiaobei (Beidaihe brand cigarettes, one yuan for one box).

Just got it.

In the evening, the work was announced at the dinner table meeting. Chen Lidong first took out the license: "The license is ready."

Father Chen: "Limin Repair Shop? Isn't it a scrap recycling station? The license was issued on August 8th. What is today's date?"

"Today is the 14th. I asked the school to write down an auspicious day. I discussed with my classmates that we will start repairing machinery in the steel rolling mill in the future."

After saying that, Chen Lidong took out 10,000 yuan and said, "My classmates and I have prepared this much first. Dad, you can use it to arrange the renting of land. The land in the steel rolling mill is also rented. The rent is 250 yuan a year. We will also follow it."

Come here, rent 40 acres, and pay for one year first. After the Chinese New Year, we will submit an application and approve the land for construction."

"Are you going big? That small steel factory is less than 20 acres, and you want to build 40 acres? Do you still want to build a factory?"

"Dad, look at that rolling mill, which is inconspicuous. He earns tens of thousands a day! His electric furnace and steel rolling line are probably second-hand goods. It is estimated that he will recoup his capital this year and make money next year. You are also a cadre. The country is now

To encourage the establishment of enterprises, you should stop farming and work. Later, we will build the stalls and you will be the boss. 40 acres is too small for me, but any more will do."

"Okay, now our family can't even be considered a household worth ten thousand yuan, don't go that far."

"Why is it not counted as a household worth ten thousand yuan? I just gave you a number."

"Aren't we going to rent land? We only earn so much in one day."

"Ten thousand a day? Did you rob a bank?" Chen's mother was also dumbfounded.

"It will only get more and more."

"Also, Dad, you told the party secretary that we need to get the land now, and the steel mill is waiting to store the scrap steel. Without the land, we can't do business. If we delay for one day, we will lose 10,000 yuan in income. You must remember it. It's best to get it tomorrow.

The agreement is signed and the land is obtained."

"Can't we just say no at the end of the year? The corn on the ground has not been confiscated yet, and the land cannot be vacated."

"We will give money, 500 yuan per acre for young crops. Whoever's corn will be harvested, and whoever vacates the land will be compensated. If you are late, you will lose 50 yuan."

"You are throwing money at me!"

At night, Chen's father and Chen's mother couldn't sleep, so they turned over big cakes on the kang.

"The money is fine, right? We still have a bit of money (loan) to build a house and haven't repaid it," said Chen's mother. Last year, they spent 15,000 yuan to build a house. The couple has been supporting students in recent years, and they are usually very tight on expenses. Building a house

He tightened his belt, and his uncles and aunts all supported him. They all helped build a house for his family, and he still hasn’t paid back any of the relatives’ money for a year.

"This kid has been reliable since he was a child and won't do bad things. The situation in the steel mill is really good now. Otherwise, Xiaochun's salary has been increased again. The bonus can be more than 500. I'm just afraid that Xiaodong is young and won't be cheated."

.Dad Chen is also worried.

"Then stop doing small jobs and keep an eye on him."

"Um"

"It's been more than a month since the August Festival. It's time for the boss to go home. I wonder if he has found someone."

"Why don't you tell him something from home? Chun has a gentle temper, and I'm afraid he won't be able to find a partner."

"Xiaodong has gone to work, and he has to find a partner. We also need to grant him land to build a few houses. If he goes to the county, building a house will be more expensive, not more than 30,000 yuan."

"Don't worry, Xiaodong said that if you build a house with ten thousand a day, it won't be a problem. Do you think he is going to the county?"

"Let's see if he can get 10,000 back tomorrow."

"..."

The summer night is full of heat. The mat under them is of no use at all. This rural couple is used to working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Like oxen pulling a cart, they have the task of raising children on their shoulders.
