When Qian Shulan arrived in the provincial capital, she went straight to the plastic factory.
She took out the plastic film she had brought and handed it to the factory manager.
The factory manager's eyes lit up with excitement. He first put it under his nose to smell it, then took out a pair of scissors to cut a piece, and then took out a match to burn it. "Oh, this plastic film is really non-toxic."
Qian Shulan didn't quite understand this and just let him do whatever he wanted. When she heard what he said, she agreed, "Of course it has to be non-toxic, otherwise it can't be used in food packaging."
The factory director sighed heavily and touched the roll of plastic film with great care, "Our country is still too backward."
There was infinite sadness and melancholy in her voice, which made Qian Shulan feel very uncomfortable. She consoled him, "As long as we study hard, our country will be able to produce such things in the future."
The factory manager perked up and said, "You're right! As long as we work hard, we will be able to produce it."
He smiled and thanked Qian Shulan, "Thank you so much. If you hadn't brought it back to me, I wouldn't have known that the level of chemical engineering abroad is so advanced."
Although we are not closing our country to the outside world now, we cannot travel abroad as freely as in later generations.
This factory director is a scientific researcher, which is even more impossible. If he can't go abroad, he doesn't know the level of foreign countries.
It can be said that Qian Shulan opened his eyes.
Qian Shulan smiled cheerfully, "It's okay!"
The factory manager nodded and suddenly asked, "How much is this? I'll ask the accounting office to calculate it for you."
After saying that, he took out a purchasing book.
Qian Shulan quoted the price.
He wrote it down truthfully and handed it to Qian Shulan. "Thanks to your help this time, I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."
If he went to buy it, he might not be able to get it. After all, this thing can only be bought together with the machine. Who would ship a single roll across the ocean to him
Qian Shulan smiled slightly. Wasn't she waiting for him to say this? "I do have something to ask of you."
The factory manager was stunned and laughed heartily, "Is it about the plastic film? Although I really want to agree to it, I really don't know when we can research it out."
Qian Shulan waved her hand, "No. I want you to help sell some plastic basins to our Liuguan County Department Store."
The factory manager raised his eyebrows, a little embarrassed, "What about this?"
He was a little embarrassed, and Qian Shulan said casually, "We attend the Canton Fair every year, and the train fare from Liuguan County to Guangzhou alone costs 13 yuan."
What I mean is that you just paid me for the materials. Although I bought it along the way, I also saved you the car fare.
The factory manager rubbed his face, thinking that if he didn't agree, he would have to pay for her car fare. He looked down at the plastic film in his hand, not knowing if this roll was enough for their research. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you a hundred."
Qian Shulan waved her hand and said, "You don't need that many. Twenty per month will be enough."
Twenty per month may not seem like a lot, but it's much more than a hundred. The factory manager felt a little pained and said, "Okay, that's it."
Seeing how straightforward he was, Qian Shulan also smiled and said, "If this volume is not enough, come find me in Wangjia Village again. We have more."
The factory manager's face looked better.
Qian Shulan came out of the factory director's office, went to the public accounting office to collect the money, and then went straight to the provincial capital department store.
Naturally, there are more department stores in the provincial capital than in Liuguan County, with a total of about ten.
Qian Shulan went directly to the company she had a cooperation with, which was connected to the headquarters.
I found a purchasing manager I knew, his name was Wu Yongshan, and he was in his thirties.
Qian Shulan told him about the order for twenty plastic basins that she had requested from the plastic factory, and asked him to make a special order when the time comes so that no one else could get it.
When Wu Yongshan received the gift from Qian Shulan, he agreed to help without hesitation.
This purchasing section chief was from a prominent family. His uncle was the director of the Supply and Marketing Bureau who was transferred from above last year. He didn't dare to take money when he first arrived, but he was not stingy at all when it came to collecting money from the special products from the countryside.
Qian Shulan asked him to help promote their food factory's marinated eggs and dried eggs to other provinces. At the end, she gave him the samples she brought with her, "Our food factory has just opened, and we haven't had much sales. Please help me promote it to other cities. This way, the sales of your department store can also increase."
Wu Yongshan glanced at the braised egg in his hand. He had been thinking about it since he tasted it last time. Their Linyang Province has a large population, but the things distributed from above are very limited. For example, Shanghai watches only get 100 watches every year. Other provinces can get 500 to 600. If he doesn't give anything, his uncle can't make money even if he is a great god. This braised egg and dried egg are new things. They are not available anywhere else. It may be possible to exchange them with the higher authorities.
Moreover, it was this factory director who took the initiative to come to him, so he would definitely not treat him unfairly. By then, his uncle's position as the director of the Supply and Marketing Bureau would be more stable. It was a win-win situation.
Wu Yongshan narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Your stuff really tastes good. I'm very optimistic about it. When can I get the goods I ordered last time?"
Qian Shulan smiled and said, "I have already prepared it for you. Unfortunately, our food factory does not have cars like your department store, so I can't carry so much."
"That's fine! The day after tomorrow is the day to go to the countryside." He shook the boiled egg in his hand and asked, "I'll help you sell it. What benefits can you give me?"
Qian Shulan did not miss the ambition in his eyes and was very satisfied.
Wu Yongshan is different from that manager. He is ambitious. Qian Shulan raised her eyebrows and said, "I want to give you money. Do you dare to take it?"
Wu Yongshan immediately shook his head, "I really don't dare."
He thought about it and decided to create a good business for his uncle. "Forget it. Can you give me more hens in the future?"
Most of the chickens from their production team were sold to the county department store. After all, Fang Yonglin was her son-in-law, so of course she wanted to give it to her family members cheaply.
Wu Yongshan's share was very limited, which led to the fact that he was the one who needed the hens the most, but he didn't have enough.
Other production teams only started raising chickens this year, and they have to raise them for at least three or four years before selling them.
Qian Shulan held his hand and said, "Okay, I agree. I'll give you 10,000 more this year."
Anyway, there are 100,000 new chickens this year, and all the roosters will have to be sold in the fall. At that time, she will let Yonglin take more roosters and give the hens to this man.
Wu Yongshan's eyes lit up, "Okay!"
After settling this matter, Qian Shulan stayed in Zhengguo for one night, and then returned to Wangjia Village early the next morning.
All the materials are ready, now there is only one thing missing: the pig.
This is easy to say. Qian Weihan is the director of the pig farm. He sells all the pigs in their farm to the food station and knows the leaders of the food station.
Instead of going home first, she went directly to the pig farm to find Qian Weihan.
Qian Weihan was patrolling the pigsty. He was a little surprised to see Qian Shulan coming to him.
Qian Shulan naturally did not hide anything from her elder brother, and asked directly, "Brother, can you buy back some pork bones from the food purchasing station?"
Qian Weihan was a little surprised, "Buyback?"
Qian Shulan sighed, "I want the food factory to make money as soon as possible."
Qian Weihan patted her shoulder and said, "Okay" without asking any questions.
After saying that, he rode his bike directly to the food purchasing station.
He came back about an hour later, and the wicker basket on the back seat of the car was full of pig bones and covered with gauze.
Qian Shulan opened the lid and looked, "Brother, how did you get it?"
Qian Weihan winked at her and said, "I told them that if they sell some pork bones to our food factory now, I will sell them a few more pigs during the Chinese New Year."
Qian Shulan burst out laughing. Her elder brother was really cunning.
They raised a lot of pigs this year, but their food factory used pig bones. Pork and other products still had to be sold to the food station. I guess the leaders of the food station thought he wanted to sell the pigs that were previously distributed to the members to them.
As for why the pork is not made into jerky, it is because if more pork is sold, the food station will send more pig feed.
Qian Shulan doesn't want to make jerky for the time being.
She originally wanted to develop the food factory well and create a brand.
But the reactions of the villagers later chilled her heart and made her realize that even though she had built these factories bit by bit, legally speaking, they did not belong to her at all.
Why did she hand over all her belongings? Wouldn't it be better for her to open her own food processing factory after the reform and opening up
Anyway, these recipes are her own, so there is no reason for anyone to stop her from using them.
Now that she has established her brand, will she have to compete with herself in the future? She doesn't want to be stupid.
So even though she is now selling dried eggs and boiled eggs, she has never thought of writing the brand logo on them.
Naturally, the villagers could not think of what she could not think of. On the contrary, when Wang Shouquan made this suggestion, everyone thought it was too expensive to make those fancy things and rejected it directly.
Qian Shulan did not persuade him. After all, this matter suited her. The reason why she was still clinging to the position of factory director was because she wanted to accumulate experience and connections.
With the reform and opening up, she could have taken fewer detours.
Now that all the ingredients were prepared, Qian Shulan began to make braised eggs and dried eggs.
In the past, the number was small and she completed it all by herself. But now that the number is large, it is no longer possible.
Qian Shulan weighed the spices she had bought earlier according to the proportions, and then asked everyone to work together.
The people who convened this time were all people she was familiar with.
She called He Cuilan, Liu Yueqin, Lu Xiuhong, Sun Daqin, and even Li Chunhua to help.
Plus the two machine operators.
In just one day, the production team produced a thousand boiled eggs and five hundred kilograms of dried eggs.
The day after tomorrow, Wu Yongshan took a truck to Wangjia Village.
When Wu Yongshan saw Qian Shulan, he immediately took credit for it, "I have reported your marinated eggs and dried eggs to the higher-ups. I also gave some samples to the managers of various department stores. I am waiting for their news, but they want to see the sales performance of our department stores. You know, your prices are not low, and those people are timid."
Qian Shulan could understand, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry!"
Wu Yongshan was very optimistic about these two items. "After I returned, I persuaded my uncle to put these things in the most conspicuous place in our department store."
Qian Shulan was naturally happy to see this happen, "Of course that's good!"
The author has something to say: Why can't state-owned factories continue to operate? Because there is no sense of belonging. No matter how well you do, it's not yours. If you don't do well, it's all your fault.
The heroine is quite selfish and she wants to plan for herself.
