Being Reborn And Starting Off By Not Being A Simp-Chapter 239: Staying in the Factory for the New Year (1)

Many workers wandered around the world all year round, fighting for their livelihood. They could only return home during the New Year and spend a few days with their families.

After the New Year, they did not dare to feel the warmth of their family for long. They had to leave in a hurry and continue to work hard for their livelihood.

This was a great era of transition from an agricultural society to an industrial society.

In this great era, countless small figures were like animals migrating in nature. They left their homes, left their homeland, and went to other places thousands of miles away to make a living.

His hometown was becoming stranger and stranger, and his foreign land was becoming more and more familiar. Many times, people would not be able to tell whether they were in their hometown or in a foreign land, and they would not know where they would eventually convert to.

There was a phrase called Spring Festival travel.

These two words contained countless joys and sorrows in this great era.

Many people could only find a sense of belonging during the Spring Festival and when they returned home for the New Year.

Returning home for the New Year had become a religion for most people.

Now that Liu Qing told them that he could not go home for the New Year this year, of course they would be anxious.

Fortunately, everyone’s opposition was not particularly fierce.

This was because the factory was offering them a high salary. Including their food and accommodation, they could earn about six to seven thousand yuan a month. Some of them could even earn seven to eight thousand yuan for overtime work. They had a good impression of this prodigal boss.

Even if they did not vehemently oppose it, they would still oppose it.

Ma Guoming was a little anxious. He didn’t know why Liu Qing would say such a thing.

Liu Qing and the others were almost done with their narration before he said,"

"Everyone, quiet down and listen to me."

As the boss, he still had some prestige in the hearts of the workers. After he spoke, those objections stopped.

" I know it’s important for everyone to go home for the New Year," Liu Qing said." But this year is really a special situation.""

"How is it special?" someone asked.

" An epidemic," Liu Qing said." I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention to the news, but there’s already an epidemic."

Some people didn’t pay attention to this, but some people would.

"Aren’t there only a few dozen?" someone asked. There’s no need to make a fuss, right?"

"Currently, only a few dozen have been detected. There are still many patients who have not been discovered. This is the most dangerous."Liu Qing said.

He added,"We found such patients in Siam.""

Those people gasped.

"There are two reasons for me to let you stay here for the New Year," said Liu Qing. One consideration was that now that there was an epidemic, no one knew how many people had contracted the disease and how contagious it was. It’s very likely that you’ll be infected when you go back and forth. "There’s also the possibility that the epidemic has broken out and the traffic has been blocked. After you go back, you won’t be able to come back to work."

"Another consideration is that this is a respiratory infectious disease. If the epidemic breaks out in the country, the demand for masks will be very high. We make masks. Let’s not talk about whether we can make money or not. At such a moment, if we produce one more mask, we can add more strength to the fight against the epidemic. From this aspect, I also hope that you can stay. It will benefit the country and the people."

Those people still listened to what he said earlier.

However, they didn’t believe what he said after that. They thought,"

"What’s wrong? You want to sell the mask at this price?"

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Liu Qing say,"

"I also know that it’s a little inhumane to let you stay here to continue working during the new year. I should give you some compensation. From today onwards, for the next month, in addition to your normal salary, I’ll give everyone an extra 200 yuan per day as overtime allowance for the new year. Those who stayed here for the new year would receive a 2,000 yuan red packet-this was coexisting with the year-end bonus."

Many of the workers suddenly felt that it was fine to stay here for the New Year.

The two hundred yuan per day overtime allowance would be six thousand yuan for a month.

With the 2,000 yuan red packet, it was 8,000 yuan.

Moreover, during the period of time he stayed, his daily salary was still paid as usual. According to normal standards, this was another few thousand yuan.

The travel expenses for the return trip home for the New Year and the various expenses for the New Year were another huge sum of money.

After calculating the inside and outside, he could earn an extra ten to twenty thousand yuan.

Although he had lost the opportunity to reunite with his family, he could still give his family a better life with an extra ten or twenty thousand yuan.

If he didn’t spend it and kept it there, he would have an additional guarantee in the future.

This was especially true for the employees in the village. They lived in the village and there was no such thing as going home for the New Year.

They were all very happy to have so much money out of thin air.

Ma Guoming looked at Liu Qing in shock. The masks couldn’t be sold, and the warehouse was almost full. Why did he still want to give them more money to continue producing masks during the New Year?

He felt that Liu Qing was obsessed with this matter.

However, he was the boss. He was willing to pay the money to sell his stock, so he couldn’t persuade him.

After Liu Qing finished speaking, the workers expressed their stance one after another.

"Since the epidemic is so serious, let’s stay here for the New Year."

"Boss, you have a point. I won’t be going home for the New Year this year. We’ll talk about it next year."

"Why don’t we go home during the Qingming Festival..."

"With the epidemic at the forefront, we mask workers should also make a contribution to the country."

Liu Qing felt gratified when he heard their reasonable attitude.""The awareness of the masses is quite high. They stayed behind even though we asked them to."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he once again emphasized the issue of fire safety and reminded everyone to pay attention.

There were hundreds of millions of masks and so many raw materials in the warehouse.

According to the price they had quoted, it was worth a few hundred million.

If the fire was extinguished, who would he reason with?

Liu Qing used the money to solve the problem of the mask factory workers staying in the factory for the New Year. He was relieved.

There were enough raw materials, machines, and workers. After the outbreak of the epidemic, they also had the conditions to produce.

Otherwise, most of the workers would go home for the New Year, and only a few workers hired by the village would work here. Most of the production capacity would be idle for more than a month, which would be a pity.

When she got home, she suddenly remembered that the 16th was the deadline for the voting for Pengcheng’s Top Ten Young Pioneers of the Year. Today was already the 15th, and she wondered how the votes were.

Liu Qing was shocked when he clicked into the official account. He had more than 50,000 votes, 30,000 more than the second place. He was far ahead.

"I’m going to win the championship!"

He thought to himself.
