Chapter 334: The Divide
Mrs. Fang shouted, "Yes. According to what Uncle Qi said, if we all share 40%, it will be a lot."
"Yes, I can't listen to you on this matter. We don't know anything, but we have some strength. Who can share profits with the boss when they work hard these days? Forty percent is very good, it's much better."
"Yes, that's right, 40%!"
Shen Zhiqiu asked for silence, but no one listened. Everyone kept shouting, "40%."
Especially Shen Mazi, Shen Fugui, Shen Tietou, Guo Lao Da, Gao Shuangxi and a group of strong laborers, their noise was so loud that it almost blew the roof off.
Shen Zhiqiu was speechless, looking at Grandpa Shen helplessly, as if to say, "Grandpa, look, you just said not to interrupt my train of thought, but you were the first to interrupt my train of thought."
Mr. Shen looked up as if to look at the roof. It seemed that there were golden cakes hanging on the thatched roof. He was looking at it very intently.
Shen Zhiqiu was helpless and held up the gong: "Bang bang bang!"
"Quiet, quiet, listen to me. How about this, fifty-fifty. I take 40%, I give 10% to my parents, and the remaining 50% is divided among everyone. Don't say anything else. If you say otherwise, this deal won't work."
Only then did everyone calm down. Shen Youyou and her brothers and sisters also loosened their hands that were covering their ears: "Emma, they almost lost their hearing at such a young age!"
Shen Zhiqiu continued: "After deducting the cost from the money we get from selling the soles, which is the money we spend on buying sweet potatoes and other materials, we will also have to spend money on food and food when we eat from the same pot in the future.
After that, 40% of the remaining profits are divided among everyone, but they don’t know how to divide it fairly.
For example, the grandfather who is in charge gets 50% of the share,
Team leaders and skilled workers get 40%, strong laborers get 30%, women, old men, and young boys get 20%, and old ladies who cook and young girls who help out get 10%.
Everyone was confused, so Shen Zhiqiu had to take out 40% of the team money and gestured to everyone, saying: "See, this is 100 taels. If 40% of everyone is 100 taels, that is, the total of everyone's share is how much, and then divide this 100 taels into that many parts.
The grandfather takes five of them, the team leader takes four of them, and so on... Do you understand?"
Shen Erya said with a giggle: "Uncle San, does that mean I can get a share too?"
Shen Zhiqiu smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean. All the girls can take a share. I have said in advance that I hope the little girls can take the money themselves.
You can buy whatever you want, or you can give yourself some money as a dowry. This is the confidence that I, your third uncle, give you.
When you get married, don’t let your daughter earn money and still have to suffer in your husband’s family.”
After saying this, except for Shen Youyou, the girls' eyes were red. In fact, in their hearts, Uncle San didn't need to distinguish so clearly and even count theirs separately.
In previous years, they did all kinds of work at home, but some of them were even scolded by their angry grandmothers or mothers for doing nothing.
But Third Uncle (Third Uncle) always considered them in every way. First he distributed land to them, then he distributed money to them. He also clearly told their parents and grandparents at the meeting that he hoped they would keep the money for themselves.
They are aware of the weight of the words of their third uncle (third uncle). Even if the elder who spoke before them died, he would not cheat them of the money in their hands, because this is the intention of their leader.
You know, even in previous years, the few copper coins you received as New Year's money would be coaxed away by your mother.
Of course, it doesn’t count when we were in the cave. At that time, my uncle also said, “The New Year’s money given to children belongs to them. You can’t coax them back by tricking them. It’s too cheap.”
The next step for Shen Zhiqiu is to select the team leader, who will be responsible for 40% of the profits.
It's based on their performance on the road when they started fleeing famine, and who has certain management ability, or is particularly good at speaking, good at shopping, and has his own unique skills, that's how it was decided.
Of course, Shen Zhiqiu, Li Jingshu, and Shen Youyou are not included in this share, after all, their family has already taken the lion's share.
Old Man Shen and the others were able to share the money because it originally belonged to Shen Zhiqiu, and he used it to honor his parents and to repay his older brothers and younger brothers for their contributions to his studies.
"Does anyone have any objection to the first team leader, Wang Fuxi?"
Everyone has no objection, what else can they have? Wang Fuxi has been the busiest person since he settled down, with many tasks waiting for him every day.
The second team leader, Li Quan!
Everyone had no objection. Li Quan had traveled far and wide and had much more experience than them. Putting aside other things, helping Shen Zhiqiu with accounting and so on would almost all be Li Quan's job in the future.
The third team leader: Shen Mazi.
The fourth one: Shen Fugui.
Shen Zhiqiu also said something to the two of them, telling everyone: "Don't be unbalanced. In fact, from what I have observed along the way, they are very eloquent and have good insight. It will definitely not be a problem for them to manage our sales, that is, to sell the goods."
The two former rough guys felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Shen Zhiqiu. Shen Mazi scratched his head and laughed in a simple and honest way.
Shen Fugui suddenly stood up and said to his wife, "Oh, my wife, did you see that our family is going to turn things around? I knew we couldn't always be poor. This time I've become the team leader."
The rich wife was indeed very excited. She did not hesitate at this moment, but directly affirmed: "Dad, I knew you could do it."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Shen Zhiqiu also laughed and said, "The next ones are those with special skills. Uncle Guo is a doctor and the backer of all of us. Uncle Gao is a hunter, and Uncle Li will be responsible for teaching us martial arts and archery in the future. Shen Tietou, there's no need to say more about this."
Everyone shouted, "Yes, yes, even if we have settled down, we can't let the boys slack off. After all, who knows if there will be chaos in the future."
As for Shen Tietou, it’s no wonder that like Wang Fuxi, he is also a real skilled worker.
After arranging the team leaders and those with special skills, Shen Zhiqiu also gave a speech to everyone: "Start working hard this year, and strive to build a brick house next year."
As a result, everyone was in an uproar: "Old Third, did you say something wrong? Next year? Didn't we just build a house?"
Shen Zhiqiu said: "Isn't this a thatched hut? Can we live in it forever? Even if it doesn't work out next year, it will definitely work out the year after next, and the year after next."
Shen Fugui was still very excited at that time. After hearing Shen Zhiqiu's nonsense, he became even more excited. He raised his fist and said as if he was going to start a rebellion: "Follow Third Brother, we will definitely be able to live in a brick and tile house. If not next year, then the year after."
Then came a group of boys who also blindly trusted Shen Zhiqiu: "Yes, build a brick house."
Shen Youyou and Li Jingshu looked at each other and said in their minds, "It's fine to build a brick house, but we have to make money quickly and then find a construction team. We can't keep ourselves busy like this. We really can't stand it."
