Chapter 293: All the tractors have been sold

Yang Qing had only been back a couple of days when another delightful event occurred.

More than ten villages of Hongxing Gongshe sent over ten people who stormed straight into the Agricultural Machinery Factory, demanding to see Yang Qing to buy tractors and equipment.

Everyone knows the reason: they fear being forced to donate, want to dispose of their surplus money, and also fear losing their agricultural machinery quota to others.

Yang Qing had already discussed with the sales company; their factory could independently win over customers.

But the sales had to be conducted through their company.

We should still let them earn the money they deserve.

So Yang Qing again led people to the sales company, signed the contract, paid the money, then, holding the pickup slip, went to the Agricultural Machinery Factory to collect the goods.

These people had all studied in Qinjiacun.

Getting in the vehicle, they just drove off.

Yang Qing then had the accountant fetch money from the sales company, and upon returning hurried to place an order.

No choice—they only had twelve units, already sold out, so they had to quickly purchase spare parts to resume production.

Only now has the Agricultural Machinery Factory truly revived from the brink.

With production funds, the Agricultural Machinery Factory began to expand production.

Whether sickles or hoes, anything related to agricultural machinery, they wanted to get a hand in.

Tractors lacked the resources to let them expand production; being able to secure a quota of thirty per month was already a relief.

Their profit mainly still depended on the production of other agricultural machinery.

Especially the well drilling machine, they needed to step up research.

If other aspects still had restrictions, the well drilling machine had none at all.

Even the matching drainage pumps, the Stone City Water Pump Factory had decent output.

Director Wang had already communicated; they could provide a hundred units per year.

This number might not be many, but you have to know what era this is.

A hundred units for an agricultural machinery factory is already a lot.

Enough for Yang Qing to create a model village.

Meanwhile, the Red Sea Real Estate Company itself had a huge demand for bricks, and the output of foam bricks could not keep up with their development needs.

Red bricks were a huge supplement.

Not long after, Yang Qing went to Qinjiacun and settled the matter.

In Qinjiacun, since all five leaders agreed, nothing untoward happened.

This time Yang Qing came alone, and Ma Xianglin dispelled many doubts.

Actually, if there were anything, they would likely pretend not to know, turning a blind eye; in this era, it was quite common for widows to seek companionship at the grassroots.

Even if you didn't look, a bunch of women would gossip that you had a leg with this one and a leg with that one.

Whether or not it existed, as long as you weren't too blatant, generally no one would intervene.

If caught in the act, you'd be made to wear torn shoes and paraded through the streets.

Morals corrupt, they'd catch an example, punish you, showing no mercy.

Strictness and leniency coexisted.

In this era, even "pulling a gang" (generally meaning a man unable to support his family, a woman finding a man to help with the household, three people living together) would be tolerated, let alone widows seeking partners.

The premise is that nobody takes it seriously and nobody is caught in the act.

In other words, play when you should, be careful when you should.

Since signing the mutual aid agreement with Qinjiacun, Yang Qing's visits to Qinjiacun have increased.

Because the busy farming season had passed, Qinjiacun had a large number of idle people.

The woodworking factory and weaving factory were established first.

Yang Qing again brought out his original plan for the Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Trade old for new, sell at a discount.

A campaign got underway, reviving the production of sickles, hoes, scissors, hoes, etc.

With orders, Qinjiacun's woodworking factory also had work.

The reputation of Red Star Agricultural Machinery also began to spread in northern Jingcheng.

Since everyone followed the unified purchase and sale route, no one spoke ill of it.

In an era where production guaranteed sales, the Red Star Agricultural Machinery Factory could be called an oddity.

Others just produce and hand it over to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative or sales company, but they still put in effort to carry out activities at the grassroots.

Actually, everything Yang Qing did was to shorten the production turnover cycle, and also to advertise.

Once the reputation got out, the benefits were many.

The Agricultural Machinery Factory got on track, and profits gradually increased.

Yang Qing always held as his motto: "Do not neglect small gains, do not lose integrity for excessive profit."

Down-to-earth management of industry, letting the Agricultural Machinery Factory regain health, is his goal.

A few months passed in a hurry.

During that period, Qin Huairu hitched rides back home several times.

Qinjiacun was changing, and this was something she could notice.

The low cost of the rural economy also gave Yang Qing's products greater competitiveness.

This was a benign cooperation.

Having finished talking about the factory matters, now talk about the siheyuan.

After a snowfall.

The San Da Ye, who had been delayed for half a year, could no longer avoid it; he had to arrange a wedding banquet for Yan Jiecheng.

Yu Li has become increasingly vigorous lately, completely changing her former quiet and taciturn nature, and she has started participating in various activities in the compound.

Even during that period, she got into a fight with Jia Zhangshi because of Jia Zhangshi's sarcastic and hostile attitude.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qing was also quite surprised.

In his impression, Yu Li had always been the embodiment of someone poor-spirited and lacking ambition; back when she was in the Yan Family, she was like a quail.

Ever since that time she fought with Yan Jiecheng, she gradually began to change.

Now she even dares to pick a fight with Jia Zhangshi.

Chen Hong teased.

"It's not just that she fought with Jia Zhangshi; now Yu Li has the whole San Da Ye family under her thumb."

"The money that Yan Jiecheng and she earn together isn't given to San Da Ye; it all ends up in her own pocket."

"Haven't you noticed that Yu Li's complexion has improved a lot lately?"

"Her figure has become plumper, and the flesh on her face is white and tender, making one want to pinch it."

"I've seen Li Da Xiong stare at Yu Li several times, drooling."

Yang Qing lifted his bowl and coughed a little.

"You shouldn't talk nonsense like that; San Da Ye and we are still of one mind."

"Don't be quick-tongued and ruin relations."

The old lady also nodded.

"Don't meddle in other people's family affairs, or it won't end well."

"You're about to give birth, you've started your lying-in period, and you're constantly hanging out with these people; don't provoke them, or they might strike against you."

The old lady's warning cannot be ignored; although Yang Qing does many things secretly, he cannot treat people as fools.

After so long, someone will eventually figure it out.

Ever since he, Yang Qing, got married, everything in the compound has started to go awry.

Who wouldn't make the connection?

"What the old lady said is right, daughter-in-law, you need to pay attention; once I've arranged things at the factory, I'll also take maternity leave to accompany you during your lying-in."

Chen Hong didn't mind it, but Yang Qing's behavior satisfied her.

These past few months, because Yang Qing has done something guilty, he has been treating Chen Hong even better.

Originally, because of her pregnancy, Chen Hong felt unwell and a bit depressed, but he also gently healed her.

Especially, Chen Hong discovered that if she treats Yang Qing a little better, he will repay her double.

Now she is preparing water banquets more and more often.

Nothing much, just because she likes it.

Who knows what a spa is? My husband often gave me one in the past two months.

Now he almost gives me a massage every day.

In the evenings he also gives her a moisturizing treatment.

Now beneath her tall stature lies delicate skin.

The old calluses left from her former training have gradually faded.
