Li Ergou was a steelworks worker who specialized in fitter work. He used to work in Hanyang Iron Works and had been working in this line for almost twenty years.
He could be considered a master. It could be said that he could basically grind all the parts of the machine by hand, and the error was definitely in line with the requirements.
However, even such a master was only at the bottom of the Hanyang Iron Plant. He vaguely remembered that the Hanyang Iron Plant was still a government company at that time, and his salary was just enough to feed him. Later, it became a private company, and his salary did not increase much. Instead, his skills improved a lot.
According to the standard, a senior technician like him would earn at least 50 dollars. Unfortunately, he only got 10 dollars. Sometimes, he even owed his salary.
Not long ago, someone sent a letter saying that the steel factory in Jiuyuan was hiring. A master like him would be paid 200 yuan and two months 'worth of compensation.
400 yuan was a huge sum of money in this era. In this era, a Beiping courtyard house was only 300 yuan. 400 yuan was definitely a lot.
If it was his previous salary, he would need to go without food or water for at least four years to save up. Because of this, when he heard that it was 400 yuan, he agreed without hesitation.
This time, Li Ergou's choice had completely turned the tables around. When he first arrived, he had discovered that Jiu Yuan was extremely dilapidated. After a few days, he discovered that Jiu Yuan's transformation was simply terrifying.
Every day, every week, and every month, he could see new changes. Soon, he felt the joy of work. The machine tools in his hands were all imported machine tools, and they were all driven by electricity. The roaring noise was gone, and the turning tools on the machine tools were very sharp.
As long as he fixed it properly and added some auxiliary facilities, he would be able to complete the mission very quickly. More importantly, he had become a high-level technician. He had money to work overtime and take care of apprentices. With the mission bonus and so on, his total monthly income directly broke through 400 dollars. It could be said to be a high salary in this era.
In the past, he didn't dare to imagine how he would spend 400 yuan a month, but now he was spending it freely. Although he was living a rich life, he always felt that something was missing.
That was his own house. He was currently living in a factory dormitory. Although he was assigned to an independent dormitory according to the allocation of senior technicians, it was still inconvenient.
Soon, Jiuyuan began to build buildings. More importantly, these buildings were for sale. They were three-story buildings built with prefab slabs. They were built very quickly and were repaired in a few months.
Li Ergou, who had a huge sum of money in his hands, decided to buy a house. He could clearly feel the changes in Jiuyuan. In the future, this place would definitely become a big city. Buying a house early would definitely not make a loss.
The first batch of buildings had a total of 1,000 units, and the rest were still under construction. However, there were not many people who needed to buy a house. Many people still felt that there was no need to buy a house since the factory provided food and lodging. They might as well save some money and go back to their hometown to build a house, buy a field, and marry a wife. That was what they should do.
However, there were still many people with extraordinary foresight who took out their savings and started to buy houses.
The first batch of houses had five bedrooms and two living rooms, a total of 150 square meters. There was no public share at all.
Basically, there was no problem for a family of six or seven to live in. They even felt that it was very spacious.
There were eight people in Doggy Li's family. He shared a room with his boss, his two sons and daughter-in-law each had a room, his mother had a room, and his youngest daughter had a room. The allocation was just in time.
After everyone had moved in, Li Ergou realized that it was a little crowded. This was because both of his daughters-in-law were pregnant. Soon, his grandson would be born. There would definitely not be enough room for him.
This gave him the idea of buying two more houses. Moreover, his son was old in the countryside, so it was time to split up.
Unfortunately, the first batch of apartments had already been sold. The second batch would be sold in half a month. However, they were all 90 square meters with three rooms. It was suitable for a young couple to live in. Li Ergou had already made up his mind to give his two sons one apartment each.
He still had 1,000 dollars on hand, plus his two sons 'apprentice salary of 20 dollars a month, he could definitely afford it.
Looking at the house, Li Ergou could not help but feel proud. He felt that the biggest investment in his life was to follow the right person.
The same thing happened in many places in Jiuyuan. In order to expand the scale of the factory, Yang Xin had spent a lot of money everywhere and hired many high-level technicians, even national treasure technicians. They could polish the machines of the foreign powers by hand.
Soon, the sale of the house had an effect. Many workers who were hesitant before were clamoring to buy a house.
With the increase in demand, the construction of houses became faster, and the economy became more prosperous. When the report was sent to Yang Xin, he couldn't help but laugh. No matter what, the demand for houses would never change.
