Chapter 12: Suggestions
After lunch in the morning, Ye Chutian was ready to go back to the iron shop and continue to beat his knife. Unexpectedly, he was called to the gathering hall by Xiao Hong and others.
Ye Chutian and Lin Fan entered the inside and still sat in the last seat.
"Chu Tian, you have also grown up. There are some things that you can also hear, and this time it is related to the survival of our workshop. So, I asked you to come and think about it for us!"
Xiao Hong looked at Ye Chutian and said.
"Uncle Xiao, you are joking. How can I think about it for you?"
Ye Chutian stood up in a hurry and said.
It is related to the survival of more than 400 people in the workshop. His descendants dare not entrust such a big thing.
Although many times, there are many things in the workshop, Ye Pengfei and Xiao Hong will specifically ask his opinions to see how he handles those things?
In addition to being talented in repairing cars and iron, Ye Chutian is also very good in other aspects.
However, when I saw Ye Pengfei and his brothers around him, I knew that Ye Pengfei and Xiao Hong had discussed many times, and now I have gathered all the uncles in the compound again to discuss.
"I also told you about the current situation of our workshop yesterday. Now is the key first step, are we ready to expand? How to become bigger and stronger?
Xiao Hong looked at the other brothers below and said. At this time, although Ye Pengfei still sat first and was the eldest brother of those uncles, he did not say anything, but looked at how the brothers below considered and let them discuss and get a consistent result!
"Brother Ye, Brother Xiao, I think it's best to stay in this workshop. We have lived here for so many years, and now our days are much better than before. There is no need to be as frightened as before. Although we are not very rich now, we live a much better life than ordinary people.
A white-faced middle-aged uncle stood up and said that it was Liu Zhi, a brother of Ye Pengfei. He looks strong and as thick as an ordinary farmer.
However, when Ye Chutian and he hit the iron in the iron shop, when they saw all kinds of scars on each other's bodies, he knew that Uncle Liu must not be a peaceful person when he was young.
Over the years, it is Uncle Liu who has taught Ye Chutian a lot about the basic technology of iron knife making.
"Brother Liu, living honestly here is not our pursuit in the first place. If that incident had made us tolerate for more than 20 years, now it has been so long, and it should be time for us to come out."
Another black-faced middle-aged man stood up and said that he was another brother of Ye Pengfei, Pang Lie.
He usually looks careless, but among his brothers, in addition to his excellent car repair skills, martial arts is not low. Ye Chutian has learned a lot of self-defense skills over the years, which was taught by Uncle Pang.
"Brother Pang, what do you think should be?"
Liu Zhi asked with a smile.
"Now the interior of Hongmen and the entrance below are beginning to be chaotic. Huang Yanjiang, the former Hongmen rudder of Shandong, established the Taishan Gate in Shandong; Li Mingcong in Henan, established the Tianmen Gang; and the inexplicable establishment of Mojiamen in Subei;... Many of them used to be the leaders of the gangsters below, and now directly resist Hong Qingcao. , if we want to become the new boss of Hongmen, or want to become the boss, why can't we?
Pang Lie looked at Ye Pengfei and Xiao Hong and said. Although he has spent a lot of time repairing cars, he still can't forget the hot-blooded years.
"Brother Pang, although the three people are up against Hongqing Cao, but now Zhang Ji, the veteran of Hongmen, is very powerful. With the three little tigers below, Zou Yuan, Pan Sheng and Gao Shen, he besieged and eliminated almost all those underground forces against Hongqing Cao. After so many years, it has been very difficult for us to withdraw from that road. Do we really have to return?
"Are we going to live here peacefully?"
...
The brothers under Ye Pengfei are constantly discussing. However, the words said by those uncles just now made Ye Chutian and Lin Fan feel as if they had heard of Tianshu.
What Hong Qing Cao? What taboo?
...
Before, they had never even heard of it, just like sitting in a well and looking at the sky, they didn't understand the real world outside.
Originally, Ye Chutian and Lin Fan still had a skeptical attitude about the existence of Hongmen.
However, later I heard that Yang Zhigao also heard that it sounded more powerful than those in the movie. Now in the mouths of those uncles who left scars before, they know that it is definitely not a legend!
Now, if Ye Chutian saw Yang Zhigao's original sad and silent face, when he heard that the uncles above were arguing, his face not only looked a little complicated, but also seemed to be a little painful, and the person who appeared with such an expression would be like that after major pain and psychological trauma before.
"Okay, let me talk about it now!"
Ye Pengfei glanced at Ye Chutian sitting in the last seat, and then looked at the brothers below and said.
When Ye Pengfei opened his mouth, the brothers below immediately closed their mouths. You can imagine how high Ye Pengfei's status is among his brothers!
"Brothers, I know what you think, and I also know that you are all for my good?"
"But we won't go back on that road! Now we eat well and live well. That road is always a road of no return. If we pay too much, we may not get something!"
"Now we are just looking for money and for our families to live a better life in the future. Lao Xiao and I think it's our best choice to expand the workshop!"
"As for other people who imitate Huang Yanjiang, let's not do it!"
"What Brother Ye says, we will do what!"
Those uncles asked.
"Brother Ye, how can we expand the workshop?"
...
Ye Pengfei's brothers began to discuss again. At this time, when their discussion stopped, Xiao Hong looked at Ye Chutian to see if he had any good opinions.
"Chu Tian, can you tell me your opinion?"
"Uncle Xiao asked me to say it, and I'll talk about it. If you make a mistake later, uncles, don't laugh at me."
"First of all, I think the market share of this small county in Ningwu County is small and almost full. More and more professional car repair shops have appeared. In the current situation, even if we expand our workshops in Ningwu County, our income will not increase too much. Therefore, if we want to expand the workshop and increase our income, we will definitely move out of Ningwu County!"
"Okay, Chu Tian, go on!"
Xiao Hong and other uncles were very satisfied when they heard it. They did not laugh at him, but continued to let him continue.
"As for the iron shop, with the current situation, we also feel that we need to move out. After all, the cost of coal and iron ore is getting higher and higher now.
"So, if we can find a place close to the coal market and iron ore market, in addition to reducing freight, there are many people who consume, which is of great benefit to our knife consumption!"
Ye Chutian continued to say when he looked at the uncles and nodded.
"Although I don't want to admit that our car repair technology and iron technology are relatively backward, it is actually like that. Most of the time, our personal car repair technology may be better than its car repair shop, but because we don't have advanced equipment and advanced technology, we are much worse than others in many aspects.
"First, when we repair cars, many parts can't be replaced, and the speed may be slower than others. Second, the most profitable thing now is not car repair, but car modification technology. Many rich people like to modify their own vehicles. We only have simple car modification technology, and we don't have a full set of technology. , so we can't do it; thirdly, the reason why our iron technology lags behind is that we need a long time to make a small amount of knives, and the quality is not necessarily the best.
"So, if we have a complete set of modern knife-making technology, we can produce more and better quality knives in a short time. At that time, even if the price is lower, we can also sell more for more money!"
"Well said! It's really my son!"
Ye Pengfei patted the table and said with satisfaction, and the other uncles were also satisfied when they heard it.
What Ye Chutian said not only put forward the reasons, but also made suggestions. The suggestions were reasonable and well-founded, so that they had to convince Ye Chutian's practice.
