Chapter 202 Making Money by Bundling and Selling Technology
When Wenrou saw Wen Jiguang return the money, she smiled and said, "Team Leader Wen, this money is what you deserve. I didn't give you any extra. Just take it."
Everyone has seen Wen Jiguang's hard work, and it's only right that he receives such a high salary.
Furthermore, Wen Jiguang became a team leader later than them and received a raise, which made the others even more motivated, even though they were envious.
If they want a raise, they'll have to work even harder.
Wenrou had long wanted to help her older brother, and this time, giving him a promotion and a raise made everyone accept it and was also well-received.
Wenrou already had a memory of the group of people who left with Wang Hui.
Since they arrived here, these people have been lazy and good-for-nothing all day long.
If it weren't for Hao Gang's sake, Wenrou would have already fired them.
Even if they went to the rival's house now, she wouldn't be worried at all.
The most dangerous ones are the half-baked ones like them. I just hope the opposing team doesn't get screwed over too badly by them.
Wenrou settled their final wages so that she could completely sever ties with them and avoid any future trouble they might cause him.
Of course, when each of them left, Wenrou made them sign an agreement.
From now on, no matter where they are, they will have absolutely no connection with her transport team.
In the end, Wen Jiguang had no choice but to accept the wages that Wenrou gave him, and he took the money back and handed it over to Liu Xiaoyu.
"Why is there so much this time? Did Xiaorou miscalculate?" Liu Xiaoyu asked in shock when she saw the money in Wen Jiguang's hand.
Wenrou had already given them a monthly salary of sixty yuan, which was more than enough. Besides, she could earn another thirty yuan a month working in the fields.
This time, she actually gave Wen Jiguang a raise of forty yuan. Liu Xiaoyu's first reaction was that Wenrou had given them special treatment.
"My sister said she'd make me the head of the repair team and even gave me a raise," Wen Jiguang told Liu Xiaoyu, sharing the good news.
As Wen Jiguang's wife, how could she not know about his hard work during this period? She felt very sorry for him every day when she saw him coming home covered in black engine oil.
Even so, she knew in her heart that Wenrou was trying to help them and that's why she made up this excuse.
"Xiao Rou has already been so kind to our family, we should find a way to repay her." Liu Xiaoyu was also very grateful.
Wen Jiguang nodded. "Yes, doing our jobs well and not letting her down is the best way to repay her."
Liu Xiaoyu agreed with him. In the past few months, they had saved a lot of money and their lives were getting better and better than before.
This gave them even more hope for the future.
Soon, the second and third batches of mushrooms were harvested, and Wenrou gave everyone a bonus in addition to their wages.
Some people in the family compound who previously looked down on Wenrou have started to feel anxious now that others are making money.
Seeing that Sister Wang changed her clothes every day and dressed even better than before, they all showed envious expressions.
They all thought that after Wang's wife divorced Zhu Chao, she must be having a very hard time raising a young girl.
Unexpectedly, they were not suffering at all; in fact, they were doing even better than the others.
So now they didn't care about anything else and swallowed their pride to go to Sister Wang, wanting to work with her.
Previously, they were either influenced by Shen Qingshuang or misled by Sun Mei, and not only did they not earn a penny, they also lost a lot of money.
Now, seeing how Wenrou not only makes money growing mushrooms, but also earns a lot by running a transport team.
So one by one they came to the realization that there are inherent differences between people, and what others can achieve with gentleness, they can never achieve in their entire lives.
Once they figured this out, they felt much better.
As long as they could earn some money with Wenrou and Sister-in-law Wang to improve their family's life, they would be content.
Since Sun Mei and Zhu Chao's family moved out, Feng Yumei, the women's director, has lost her former prestige.
Everyone is busy making money and no longer protects her like before.
Seeing that everyone else had gone to work in the fields with Wenrou to earn money, Feng Yumei actually had the same idea. However, when she thought about how strained her relationship with Wenrou's family had been before, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Actually, only Feng Yumei herself is still stuck in the past and can't get over it, feeling that it would be embarrassing for her to take the initiative to seek out Wenrou.
What she didn't know was that Wenrou didn't take her seriously at all, and she didn't have the energy to pay attention to what was happening in the compound anymore.
She has now completely handed over the work in the fields to Sister Wang and Liu Xiaoyu, and she is preparing to free up her time to do other things.
In the afternoon, Sister Wang came over, followed by Feng Yumei.
After much thought, Feng Yumei decided to visit Wenrou and talk things out. After all, they were neighbors and would be living together in the future, so any misunderstandings needed to be cleared up.
She even brought a basket of her best finds, intending to give them to Wenrou.
After all, she was the women's director of the compound, and she had a voice in the compound.
She actually came here to find Wenrou, wanting her to work with Sister Wang in the fields and manage the people under her.
Sister-in-law Wang couldn't make the decision herself, so she brought her to find Wenrou.
Wenrou had just finished calculating the accounts. This time, the mushroom yield was higher than before. After deducting the wages and bonuses for the workers, she still had more than 20,000 yuan left.
Including what she saved from selling mushrooms, she now has nearly 50,000 yuan in her hands.
In this day and age, let alone 50,000, having 10,000 in your hands is already quite remarkable.
This was the first time she had ever seen so much money. She had earned it little by little, and of course she was happy to have it in her hands.
Soon, Sister Wang and Feng Yumei arrived at the door.
Hearing the knock, Wenrou put away what she was holding and went to open the door.
"Oh my, gentle girl, you've become the busiest person in our compound. We hardly ever see you all day long, and it's so hard to even talk to you."
As soon as Feng Yumei saw Wenrou, she smiled and went up to her, pretending to be close to her.
Wenrou knew what kind of person Feng Yumei was, so her face remained expressionless as she coldly asked, "What brings you here, sister-in-law?"
Feng Yumei glanced at Sister Wang beside her before smiling and revealing her thoughts.
"Look how well your mushroom business is doing now. If you need to hire more people, Guixiang won't be able to handle it all by herself. Could you also give me a position, like Guixiang's, as a person in charge or something? After all, I am the women's director of our residential compound, so I have a say. With me here, I can help you manage them."
As Feng Yumei spoke, she handed over the things she was holding.
Wenrou's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she looked at Sister-in-law Wang standing to the side.
After all, Sister Wang is no longer a resident of the family compound, and Feng Yumei is the women's director of the compound, so we still need to ask Wenrou about her affairs.
"Xiaorou, what do you think about this matter..." Sister Wang said hesitantly from the side.
Wenrou didn't reach out to take what Feng Yumei offered, but instead looked at Sister-in-law Wang with a serious expression.
"Wang Guixiang, I'm entrusting the farm work to you. You're the main person in charge. From now on, you can make your own decisions on these matters and don't need to consult me anymore. Do you think someone like her can be as good a person in charge as you?"
This was the first time Wenrou had called Wang's sister-in-law by her name, and of course, she did this to show Feng Yumei.
She wanted Feng Yumei to know that Wang Guixiang was irreplaceable and that her abilities in all aspects were sufficient to make her a good leader.
The reason for this seriousness is to truly establish Wang Guixiang's reputation.
In the future, not only will there be cases like Feng Yumei's, but there will be many more things that require her to make her own decisions.
If she has to get her opinion on every little thing, she'll be exhausted.
Seeing Wenrou suddenly become so serious, Sister-in-law Wang was also startled and tensed up, lowering her head with some guilt.
She didn't understand why this matter made Wenrou so angry, but she felt it was her responsibility and was afraid of betraying Wenrou's trust in her.
Upon hearing the gentle words, Feng Yumei's expression immediately changed.
She knew that Wenrou clearly didn't trust her and didn't take her seriously.
No matter what, she is still the women's director of the family compound. How is she any worse than Wang Guixiang?
She has leadership skills, so why does Wenrou look down on her like this?
Feng Yumei was furious. She turned around, picked up her basket, and walked out.
After she left, Wenrou explained to Sister-in-law Wang, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean to target you just now. Feng Yumei's intentions were obvious. How could someone who doesn't know anything be allowed to be in charge like you? You are the person I trust the most. I feel at ease leaving the things in the fields to you. You should also have confidence. You can make your own decisions about things like Feng Yumei. I believe in you."
Sister-in-law Wang was also surprised that Wenrou entrusted her with the farm work so readily and trusted her so much. She was very grateful.
"Xiaorou, thank you. I won't let you down."
After what just happened, Sister-in-law Wang gained confidence.
Hearing her say that, Wenrou felt relieved.
"By the way, sister-in-law, if anyone wants to learn a skill from you, you can teach them, but you'll have to charge a fee, one hundred per person." Wenrou suddenly remembered something and mentioned it to Sister-in-law Wang.
"Why...why is this?" Sister-in-law Wang was a little confused by Wenrou's thoughts.
If more and more people grow mushrooms, mushrooms will become worthless, just like before. What will they do when they can't sell their mushrooms?
Wenrou knew what Wang's sister-in-law was thinking, so she smiled and said, "In the past, this was indeed something we should worry about, but believe me, in less than two years, once the export business takes off, these mushrooms probably won't be enough to meet the demand."
Wenrou knew that after entering the 1980s, the national economy would develop very rapidly, especially the export business.
With Tan Lin as her backer, she naturally wasn't worried about not being able to sell the mushrooms.
When that time comes, her transport team will only need to buy at low prices and then sell to exporters at high prices, earning the difference between the two. She won't have to bother with the arduous task of growing mushrooms herself anymore.
Now these people are envious of the money she makes growing mushrooms, so of course they'll try every means to get her cultivation techniques.
Why not just package up and sell the technology, and let Sister Wang teach it to more people? That way, even if she's not here anymore, the local economy can still thrive.
She and Huo Yanchuan couldn't stay here forever; they would have to leave eventually.
By passing on her skills, she can not only earn money but also revitalize the local agricultural industry.
Why not take advantage of a situation where you have the best of both worlds?
Although Sister-in-law Wang wasn't as farsighted as Wenrou, she knew that listening to Wenrou was always the right thing to do.
Sure enough, after word spread the next day that Sister Wang was teaching mushroom cultivation techniques, many people signed up.
When Professor Peng was around, they didn't believe that growing mushrooms could make money, so even when they studied, they only did it sporadically.
Now that they've successfully made money growing mushrooms, they're starting to get anxious and want to find people everywhere to learn the techniques.
Unfortunately, although someone had studied with the expert from Beijing whom Shen Qingshuang had invited for a period of time, his method was wrong and completely unsuitable for their environment.
Now, they only trust Wenrou and Sister-in-law Wang.
So when the news about Sister Wang came out, many people were tempted.
They no longer aspire to earn as much as Wenrou; they would be content even if they earned as much as Sister-in-law Wang.
Although the price is a bit high, the future prospects are promising.
Moreover, Sister Wang assured everyone that as long as they carefully cultivated the mushrooms using her techniques, she could guarantee they would sell, and the price would satisfy them.
Even just because of what she said, they were all willing to sign up.
Sister-in-law Wang didn't expect so many people to sign up for the course. She counted roughly and there were more than a hundred people.
With a registration fee of 100 yuan per person, she has made more than 10,000 yuan just from registration fees.
When she received the more than 10,000 yuan, Sister Wang was completely stunned; it was the first time she had ever seen so much money.
Of course, she couldn't take the money; it was all Wenrou's idea, and she had to return it to Wenrou.
"Xiaorou, this is the money we collected for today's registration. It's 11,600 yuan in total. Here you go." Sister Wang handed all the money she had collected that day to Wenrou.
"Sister-in-law, you'll be the one giving them the lectures, so you should keep the money. What's the point of giving it to me?" Wenrou smiled as she looked at the money that Sister-in-law Wang handed her, but didn't accept it.
"No way. If it weren't for your idea, I wouldn't have made so much money. Besides, you were the one who taught me the skills. I can't just take your money for nothing." Sister Wang knew in her heart that she was successful because of Wenrou. Although Wenrou said that, she couldn't let herself be blinded by her own words.
When Wenrou saw that Sister-in-law Wang was unwilling to take it, she only took a small portion as a symbolic gesture. Even so, Sister-in-law Wang still refused to give it to Wenrou. She insisted on giving the rest to Wenrou.
"Then how about this, we'll each take half, you can't refuse now."
Finally, after Wenrou's persistent insistence, Sister Wang had no choice but to agree.
Of course, she also knew that her energy was limited and she would definitely not be able to teach more than a hundred people at once.
So he took Liu Xiaoyu and several other sisters with him to teach together.
She naturally distributed all the money to them, and each of them received a thousand yuan as a teaching fee.
This thousand yuan was more than they could earn in a year of hard work, but now they got it so easily, and everyone was very excited.
