The company opened and everyone started to get busy.
Lin Musen was busy decorating the traditional Chinese medicine clinic. According to the patriarch's instructions, the decoration should be as luxurious as possible, with all mahogany furniture.
Lin Sanqi was busy choosing the company's office space and company registration matters.
Fortunately, there are 5 office buildings for rent in Shilou Village. They are all skyscrapers. People in the village can rent them for half the price, so they quickly selected the location.
Lin Sanqi, who was not short of money, rented half a floor on the 66th floor of Tower B of Tianhe Center, with an area of 800 square meters. Half of it was used as an office area and the other half was used as a product display area.
In the future, the second floor of the Lingnan Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Center in May Square will be for retail, while the Tianhe Center Company location will be for wholesale. The division of labor is different.
Lin Tianhua recruited all his direct troops from the Mercedes-Benz company, including one who sells cars and one who sells Chinese medicinal materials. They avoid the restrictions of horizontal competition contracts and can start working directly.
As a result, the sales team of Lingnan Tang Company was quickly established. It is still an elite team and can be said to be in place in one step.
The reason why these sales elites are willing to change jobs with Lin Tianhua is not only due to favors, but more importantly, Lin Tianhua's promise to double everyone's income.
There is no talent that cannot be hired with money. If you still can’t hire someone, then keep doubling it...
Yin Lianyi's financial department has also been established.
Yin Meimei recruited all three classmates and best friends who were in the same dormitory at university. The annual salary of 500,000 yuan a year was definitely the ceiling, so a group of young and energetic girls became a beautiful scenery of Lingnan Tang Company.
Anyway, Lin Sanqi always likes to go to the Finance Department to guide the work whenever there is nothing to do...
The processing workshop and refrigerated warehouse were chosen in the "warehousing area" southwest of Shilou Village.
All the workers at Lingnan Hall are villagers from Shilou Village, so the location must be chosen in the village to make it convenient for the villagers to go to work and at the same time, the village protection team can also provide support at any time.
After all, the processing workshop contains top-quality Chinese medicinal materials or ingredients. If someone steals just a box, it will cause heavy losses.
Of course, this processing and warehousing workshop is temporary. It will definitely have to be relocated as the company grows in the future, and no industry is allowed in the urban area.
After being busy like this for more than a month, finally the company's affairs were almost settled. Lin Sanqi announced that he was going to purchase elsewhere again, and then returned to 1959.
It's December in Sijiucheng, and Lin Sanqi almost froze to death with a low temperature of minus 5 degrees Celsius.
When people from the south come to work in the north, the most difficult thing to adapt to is the climate.
Lin Sanqi stood in the yard, looking at the dark sky and the cold northwest wind, wondering why it wasn't snowing?
As a Huadu native, Lin Sanqi was looking forward to the snow, just waiting to enjoy the scenery of thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, looking at the vast scenery inside and outside the Great Wall, and the rushing rivers up and down.
Is winter without snow still called winter?
Lin Sanqi ran to the front yard with her body shaking, and saw that every household was papering their windows, which made Lin Sanqi feel strange.
"Hey, Belle, why are you papering the windows? It's so dark in this room. Go get two pieces of glass."
When the old man saw that it was Lin Sanqi, a boy from the south, he tried to teach others:
"This is not ordinary paper, this is called Korean paper. Cover the windows so that the cold wind can't blow into the house and it will be much warmer in winter. If you use glass, the wind will be everywhere in the corners and it will not be tight."
At that time, the glass was fixed with nails, and there was no later glass glue. In addition, the size of the window frame and the glass could not be perfectly matched, so people were still accustomed to the traditional method of papering.
Lin Sanqi is still puzzled:
"But the lighting is poor. I think the glass is not airtight enough. The worst I can do is use double-layer glass and seal the gaps with paper strips."
Nabeile was so angry that his teeth itched:
"If I can get the glass, I won't need you to chatter here, get out of here!"
Lin Sanqi felt bored, but at the same time he understood in his heart that glass, a common commodity in later generations, is still quite precious in this era.
At this time Ma Dazhuang came in carrying a load of briquettes:
When Lin Sanqi saw it, she was ready to tease him:
"Hey, boom, what's your burden? Rolling in the stove or salted duck eggs?"
Hahaha~~~Everyone in the yard laughed.
Ma Dazhuang also laughed and said:
"If I had two baskets of donkeys rolling around, I would be so hungry that I would be skin and bones. These are briquettes. I managed to get them with great difficulty. Damn it, look at the quality of these briquettes."
Hou Daya ran over first:
"Is it still available? My family hasn't bought it yet. I have to pick up a load of it. Oh, I said Ma Dazhuang, are you buying briquettes or soil briquettes? Why is it all loess?"
Hou Daya pinched open a briquette and found that it was filled with yellow clay. Even a layman like Lin Sanqi could tell that the coal content was very low.
Ma Dazhuang was so angry that he threw the pole away:
"Who says it's not the case? In the past, some loess was mixed into the coal briquettes as a binder. Now, it's just a matter of mixing some coal crumbs into the loess. This kind of briquettes does not burn at all, and the smoke is still there. Big.”
"Yeah, this is too dark." "We have to report it to the streets, we can't fool people like this."
Mixing loess into briquettes is an old trade in Sijiu City. The boss of Dong Laishun made his fortune with this craft. Everyone is not surprised by this, but this is the first time that the coal content is so low.
At this time Wu Xinhou also walked out of the house, sighed and said:
"I asked about this, and I heard that all the coal was sent to Big Brother. Our domestic coal gap is very large this year, and the country has no choice. Let's overcome it."
Hou Daya was unhappy: "How to overcome it? Without coal, we will eat raw food? Without coal, everyone in the winter will be like a popsicle. How can we still have the energy to go to work?"
Lin Sanqi blinked and asked again: "Is the briquette any better? Let's buy briquette. There is always a way."
Lin Sanqi wanted to be a good person. After all, we are all neighbors, especially those with elderly and children at home. If there is no heating tool, people may freeze to death, and the reputation of the yard will be bad.
So what he thought was that he would use an excuse first, and then pretend that he had the connections, and quietly go to 2023 to buy dozens of tons of briquettes and transport them to the courtyard for everyone to share. This way he could not only help people, but also make some money, killing two birds with one stone.
Belle burst out laughing, pointed at Lin Sanqi and cursed:
"You are just like Emperor Hui of Jin. The world is in chaos and the people are starving to death. The emperor said: Why not eat minced meat? Boy Lin, do you understand what this means?"
Lin Sanqi thought that you are a very bad old man, and you curse people in different ways, and I am not satisfied with you. You are using your good intentions as a furnace:
"Master Beile, I know what this means. It means that the feudal remnants who kept it secret used to prey on the common people and exploited the working people. If they eat too much meat and porridge, they will all starve to death in the future."
The old man was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. The window paper was no longer sticky. He glared at Lin Sanqi fiercely:
Lin Sanqi also stared back:
"Old man, don't stare. Your good days are only a few years away. Don't say I didn't remind you. Be kind to others now and you will suffer less in seven years. Otherwise, you will be beaten to death and thrown into a smelly ditch in the future. Don't The weirdo is too cruel.”
The old man was not a tolerant person either: "I want you to take care of me? Who are you?"
Matchmaker Wang quickly came out to smooth things over:
"Okay, okay, just say a few words. Now let's think about what to do. Without coal, this winter will be difficult."
Lin Sanqi thought of another way:
"If there is no coal, can we burn firewood? Although the firewood is not burned, it is better than nothing, right? On your day off, go to the outskirts of Beijing to chop some wood and come back."
Hou Daya patted her thigh:
"This is a way. My parents' family is in Mentougou. I'll go for a run tomorrow to get some firewood. From now on, I'll rely on briquettes for heating at night and a wood stove for cooking and water. It can last through the winter."
When the people in the yard heard that the seasonal birds and monkeys actually had a way out, they immediately swarmed up:
"Da Ya, help me bring some too."
"That's right, we are from the same hospital. How about you bring a cart back and we can all share it. You can tell me how much it costs."
There was a lot of noise in the yard, and Lin Sanqi didn't bother to pay attention to it. Anyway, if anyone's family is short of coal, it's not the Lin family's shortage of coal. For the time-travelers, this is not a problem.
Walking to the door of her father's house, Lin Sanqi knocked on the door and went in. A stream of warm air came out from inside.
There is a coal stove in the corner, and a chimney is connected to the top of the stove to discharge the exhaust gas outside the house. This coal stove can cook food and water, and can also be used for heating. It is the main heating tool for the people in the capital at this time.
Anyway, no one built a fire pit or built a fire wall in Gege's house. The house is so big, and if you build a fire pit, there won't be room to put things in the house.
Besides, the supply of coal stoves is tight, so burning a fire pit is still going bankrupt.
Today is the weekend. Jin Caifeng is sewing small cotton-padded jackets with her two daughters-in-law, while Lin Jiageng and Lin Zhenzhen are having fun in the house.
"Qizai, you've been sleeping for a few days, have you recovered? Look at how you've been out this time, you've gotten a bit tanned."
Jin Caifeng saw her youngest son coming in, wearing presbyopic glasses, holding a needle in his hand, and saying distressed words.
Lin Sanqi touched her face and thought that I traveled around to open a company in 2023. It seems that I got tanned, and it seems that I will come back in vain.
"Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry. By the way, are you making cotton-padded clothes for Jiageng and Zhenzhen? There are so many people in our family, so we all have to make one, right?"
Sister-in-law Fu Muxiang smiled and said:
"There are 9 people in our family. If everyone makes one piece, how can we get so much cotton and cloth? No, all the cloth and cotton stamps in the family are added up to make up for the expenses of two children. Children grow up quickly. , it needs to be renovated once a year.”
Lin Sanqi sat on the table, stuffed two oranges for her nephew and niece, and then touched the cotton:
“The quality of this cotton is not very good, and it doesn’t look like new cotton.”
Lin Sanqi touched the mother's cotton-padded jacket next to her again and frowned:
"Mom, why is your cotton-padded jacket so thin? It feels hard to the touch. The cotton must be many years old, right?"
After using cotton clothes or quilts for a long time, the phenomenon of "hardening" will occur. The cotton will become hard, and the gaps between cotton fibers will become smaller and fewer.
In this way, the warmth retention properties of cotton-padded clothes or quilts will become worse, and the comfort of covering the body will also become worse.
So to keep warm, you must use new cotton. (End of chapter)
