Chapter 459
Zhen Xi's call was made very quickly.
Lu Qiaoge had thought about this problem long ago, but actually didn't take it to heart. The country that enters the market last can finally occupy a place.
Not to mention that it is still so early to enter the market now.
Although the current production method is half-mechanical and half-manual, it also solves the employment problem of unemployed youth and better transforms social pressure into productivity.
And there is an advantage at present. In the current subtle state of blockade, the penetration of external capital and technology is greatly limited.
Of course, our country's instant noodle export momentum is too fierce, which has already touched some people's cheese.
Especially countries regarded as poor and backward can sell precious and rare resources such as oil and minerals, and can also sell hand-woven crafts, but involving high-tech and high-end ones will be suppressed, because in their view, we are not worthy of producing and possessing them.
Some foreign businessmen will not sit idly by and watch Xiang Yang instant noodles grab the market so easily.
Malicious reporting of product quality, inciting public opinion, and even setting obstacles in raw materials and transportation links...
These means, it is estimated, will come soon.
"Thank you, President Zhen." Lu Qiaoge thanked him sincerely.
Zhen Xi said loudly: "Don't be so polite, Factory Director Lu, we are partners, and our interests are consistent." Then he immediately changed the subject: "I heard from the secretary that your craft factory is about to open a branch factory, and is currently training?"
A few days ago, the secretary contacted Lin Junan and learned about the development of new products.
Lu Qiaoge: "Yes, but the technology is not mature yet, but the main products are floor cushions and storage boxes. After the finished products come out, I will mail a few sets to you for review."
Zhen Xi's expression moved.
Putting others aside, he found that cooperating with Lu Qiaoge was mutually beneficial.
It could accurately avoid various uncertain factors.
He had cooperated with Lu Qiaoge for more than half a year and earned more than 7 million. The bulk was instant noodles, followed by clothing. If these two were not limited, he could earn more. Not to mention instant noodles, just the foreign trade counters in Beidu and Haicheng, clothing did not exist in overstock, and they were sold out as soon as they were on the shelves, no matter what style.
The small head was crafts, but because of the exquisite workmanship, they sold extremely well in Hong Kong and Nanyang.
Especially an activity organized by the assistant in Nanyang, which clarified the source of the grass weaving. When people in foreign lands are old, it is inevitable that they miss their hometown.
Some people even bought them while crying.
Said they smelled the taste of their hometown.
The country cannot enter and exit at will now. His Zhen Group is a very special existence, Chu He has another background, and then there is no third person.
Therefore, he is now the largest distributor of the country's crafts.
Actually, the grass weaving crafts at the beginning were just a side dish, but now they are part of the profit.
"I believe in the level of Xiang Yang Craft Factory. I will pre-order 10,000 pieces first, 5,000 of each. Payment can be made in batches," Zhen Xi's words were as crisp as placing an order to buy cabbage.
Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "President Zhen, please act according to your ability. Corn husks haven't been tested by the market yet. I am preparing to test the water after participating in the Spring Trade Fair."
She was not sure if the Spring Trade Fair would be held as scheduled.
According to her memory, January 1976 was not a calm January.
But Old Sun took the space water and his god-like medical skills to Beidu.
Therefore, it has been harmonious and calm until now.
It can be said that a pebble is thrown into the lake, and the lake water will inevitably ripple layer by layer because of the shock.
Lu Qiaoge knew that she was that pebble.
Zhen Xi smiled: "I believe in Factory Director Lu's level and vision. You are responsible for producing good enough things, and I am responsible for turning them into real gold and silver. I am a businessman. Why wouldn't I do a profitable industry?"
The preliminary intention was finalized in this short conversation.
Lu Qiaoge was going to attend the opening ribbon-cutting of the Beidu branch factory, and then she was going to Haicheng. She wanted to take samples with her, so she placed the signing location in Haicheng.
After Lu Qiaoge put down the phone, she immediately called Director Hu and Old Zhou of the Foreign Trade Bureau.
Old Hu was a bit worried, but now he was completely relieved.
Old Zhou answered the phone, surprised and also very admiring.
Lu Qiaoge asked: "Deputy Bureau Chief Zhou, do your processing points want to send a few people to the branch factory to learn corn husk weaving? You know, this Jinjin grass and corn husks in our Jiangcheng belong to renewable and extremely rich resources. We should take advantage of the fact that few people do it to take more orders. This is the best stage for the accumulation of primitive capital. In a few years, it will definitely not be the situation now."
Old Zhou agreed without even thinking.
What is there to hesitate about? Only a fool would hesitate.
Zhao Xiaoman returned from training at the craft factory. For her, this trip was no less than a rebirth.
After she came back, the training class of Wogouzi production team was established. Not only dozens of people from this commune, but also a dozen people from the city came.
Fortunately, there was an educated youth point in the village. Team Leader Jiang was busy for a while and soon brought people to clean it up.
But someone had to cook for this.
So a canteen was temporarily established. Aunt Jiang's cooking skills were good, so she went to take the ladle.
Zhao's little brother burned the fire to keep warm, and like Aunt Jiang, he gave eight work points every day.
The Wogouzi production team, which seemed to have been forgotten, suddenly became lively and noisy.
The opening ceremony was very simple, without firecrackers, gongs, and drums, just hanging a sign, and the factory was cleaned up cleanly.
The surroundings were brushed with white lime, the window glass was newly replaced, and the ground was paved with red bricks. Manshan Commune didn't have a boiler room, and every office had an iron stove for heating, and the branch factory was the same.
Although it was a branch factory, the place was responsible together with the Xiang Yang neighborhood office.
The treatment was the same as the general factory, with a three-month observation period. After passing, it would be according to the treatment of the military factory.
Lu Qiaoge was very generous and directly allocated a sum of money to the branch factory.
Male workers and female workers were basically half and half.
Not to mention male workers, just talking about female workers, most of them were nearby villagers and educated youth, who were originally facing the yellow earth and backing the sky, and saw the end of their lives. Suddenly, because of a hand of weaving skills, they became workers.
Those who knew were extremely envious.
Zhao Xiaoman devoted almost all her body and mind to the factory.
The training only lasted for half a month, but she learned the fastest and did the most exquisite work. That spirit of drilling made Lin Junan, who was responsible for technology, praise her repeatedly.
Now that the factory had just opened, orders came, a full 10,000 pieces. 5,000 floor cushions, 5,000 various storage boxes.
Up to this point, those who were cynical closed their mouths.
And these new workers finally stopped worrying.
With so many orders, as long as they work hard, it means that the woven crafts can really be turned into money, and it also means that this newborn factory can survive.
After the factory department knew that Lu Qiaoge could drive, considering the travel problem, they specially allocated a jeep to her.
Qin Heng went to a certain district in person and got one. He also modified it. Except for no bulletproof glass, the safety performance didn't need to be questioned.
