Chapter 146 Chapter 146 1st update

Shen Shaoyuan returned to the capital with a large bag of Hexi specialties, which made Xiao Liangliang very happy. The little guy leaned on his grandfather's lap and chattered about his original plan: "Xiao Le and I have agreed that when the kindergarten is not in session, we will go to see you together. Xiao Le's uncle is in Xixi!"

Shen Shaoyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Luckily, grandpa came back, otherwise our little Liangliang would have been lost. Hexi is too far, and you two little kids can't go there."

The little guy blinked his big, clear eyes: "Xiao Le's family has a car, he said he could use the car to take us there."

Zhou Pingan was shocked: "Your classmate's family has a car?"

Shen Shaoyuan waved his hand: "I know this Xiaole. His father is the director of the Capital's No. 1 Machine Tool Factory. The car belongs to the factory. He is an old man and is quite spoiled at home. I guess he has ridden in that car several times."

Shen Shaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "When private individuals are allowed to buy cars, we will buy one, a better one than the one from the machine tool factory."

Xiao Liangliang nodded vigorously: "Yes, buy a car!"

Zhou Pingan: “…”

One dares to say it and the other dares to believe it.

That's a car, it costs tens of thousands of yuan.

Although his master's comic strip remuneration was not low, most people would get ten yuan per picture, and he could get fifteen yuan, but a comic strip only had more than a hundred pictures, and the remuneration for a comic strip was less than two thousand yuan at most.

The master drew three volumes in total, and the total amount of royalties he received was less than 6,000 yuan, and he also gave him 1,000 yuan, which means that the master should have about 5,000 yuan in royalties. Even if you add the salary from his previous job, it would be considered impressive if he had 7,000 or 8,000 yuan in savings.

As for asking Shen Moli and Fu Mingze to take the money, it is even more impossible. They are both students now, and the monthly subsidies are barely enough to support the household and raise the children.

Moreover, Shen Moer seemed to have invested a lot of money in Huacai Garment Factory.

The garment factory is still a collectively-owned enterprise, but the commune actually only approved an initial sum of money and sent it over, and the remaining balance was paid by Shen Moer herself.

It is said that in July, the Mongolian province held a meeting to discuss economic policies, proposing "the coexistence of multiple economic elements of ownership and multiple production and operation methods, protecting competition and promoting each other", and "whoever is suitable for the state, collective or individual should be allowed to do it, and whoever can do it if it is beneficial".

Zhou Ping'an occasionally listened to the discussions between the Shen father and daughter and Fu Mingze at the dinner table, and knew that they all speculated that private enterprises would be able to be established in the near future, but at least it was not possible at the moment.

In addition to using the Huacai Garment Factory's annual profits for its own development needs, most of the profits will be remitted to Liuqiao Commune.

Oh, by the way, it is said that in May, a commune called Xiangyang in Sichuan Province had implemented institutional reforms, abolished the people's commune, and restored the township party committee and township people's government. Perhaps soon Liuqiao Commune will become Liuqiao Township.

In short, although Shen Moer was in charge of a garment factory with good performance, she actually not only did not make much money, but also seemed to have lost a lot of money.

So Zhou Ping'an felt that even if private individuals could really buy a car, his master would not have the money to buy one.

It was just to trick Liangliang, a three-year-old kid.

What Zhou Ping'an didn't know was that Shen Shaoyuan was not joking. Shen Moer judged from the words that Liu Yinshuang occasionally let out that it would be very common for private individuals to buy cars in the future. Shen Shaoyuan felt that his granddaughter must own this kind of "car" as soon as possible.

After all, their family is not short of money.

In the evening, the whole family took Zhou Ping'an out and had a lively dinner together.

The next day, Shen Moer went to school and found out that although she did not sign up, the department still arranged for her to serve overseas Chinese businessmen. However, she did not take up a place in the class. The class finally chose Lin Yiqing, who had an outstanding image and was good at foreign language.

Yuan Lan secretly told her that Feng Manni and Guan Qianqian also submitted application forms, but were not selected in the end. Guan Qianqian, on the other hand, was still smiling and going in and out with Lin Yiqing, while Feng Manni had a very unhappy look on her face for several days and did not speak to Lin Yiqing.

Lin Yiqing has a good family background, good grades, and is from the capital. If it weren't for Shen Moer, Lin Yiqing would definitely be the most dazzling girl in the class.

In fact, Feng Manni is not bad either. She is from Shanghai and her family is well off. The only thing is that her family favors boys over girls. In order to consider her father's career, they had to send one of the children to the countryside to work in the production team. In the end, her family sent her to the countryside, and her younger brother, who was one year younger than her, was left behind.

Feng Manni felt frustrated. She never went back home after going to college. She was always trying to be the best in everything just to "make a name for herself."

This service inspection team is a great opportunity to gain experience and expand your network. If you do a good job, you can also leave a good impression on the relevant departments and even the leaders, which will also be a plus for future graduation assignments.

They are already in the second semester of their junior year, and by this time next year they will be busy with graduation assignments.

Feng Manni didn't think she was worse than Lin Yiqing, and the key point was that she heard that the reason why Lin Yiqing was able to get this quota was because Lin Yiqing's cousin worked in the Ministry of Commerce, and when he contacted the school, he also asked for this quota for his cousin.

If it is a fair competition, failure is failure.

This is exactly what Feng Manni can't stand.

The atmosphere in the dormitory became a little tense.

Everyone else was a little embarrassed, but Lin Yiqing, the person involved, seemed to know nothing and continued to do what she was doing, not affected at all.

Yuan Lan talked to Shen Moer behind her back, saying that some people really can't be seen until the critical moment. After being classmates and sharing the same dormitory for two or three years, she only recently discovered that Lin Yiqing was really not a simple person.

Before the overseas Chinese business delegation arrived, Shen Moli received an invitation to a meeting, which was a symposium jointly convened by relevant departments in the capital with state-owned factories and collective enterprises.

Huacai Garment Factory actually has a rather awkward identity. After all, strictly speaking, it is not actually a local enterprise in the capital. However, not only is its factory located in the capital, it also recruits workers, pays taxes, etc. in the capital. Moreover, the performance of Huacai Garment Factory has been very impressive in the past two years. Although its scale is not as large as those of several old garment factories in the capital, its reputation is very large. The clothes produced by their factory almost represent "foreign style" and "best-selling".

So the organizer considered it again and again and sent them an invitation letter.

Shen Moer went there happily, and brought Bai Junwen and Zhao Zhenghui with her to broaden her horizons.

As she expected, the meeting was scheduled at the Capital Commerce Bureau. Although only Shen Moer's name was written on the invitation, many seats for observers were arranged in the venue.

After signing in, Shen Moer introduced Bai Junwen and Zhao Zhenghui to the staff. The staff did not expect that their factory attached so much importance to this symposium that three people came at once. However, they still politely led them to arrange seats.

The name tags of the participants were placed on the circular conference table in the center of the venue. Shen Moer found her name, pulled out a seat and sat down.

Several people nearby looked over, and after seeing that it was a young and beautiful lesbian, almost everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Those invited today are all directors of major factories in the capital. Even the directors of some street factories are mostly middle-aged people in their fifties, most of whom are men. The few women are also relatively old. It can be said that it is rare for someone like Shen Moli to be both a lesbian and so young.

A female factory manager who was sitting a few seats away asked curiously, "Comrade Shen looks a little unfamiliar. Which factory is he from? Let me introduce myself first. I am Liu Honghua from Changzhou Food Factory."

Shen Moer smiled and said, "Hello, Director Liu, I am Shen Moer from Huacai Garment Factory."

Liu Honghua's eyes lit up: "You are Director Shen of Huacai Garment Factory?! No wonder Huacai's clothes are so fashionable, it turns out that the director is beautiful, young and fashionable! Many people outside say that Huacai can produce beautiful and popular clothes every season. It must be because there is an experienced tailor in the factory. After meeting Director Shen today, I know why. Judging from Director Shen's appearance and dress, the styles of clothes in your factory can't be bad."

In such occasions, everyone basically wears cadre uniforms or liberation uniforms. Female comrades wear more fancy ones, but it's basically the same.

Shen Moli was wearing a modified cadre uniform, made of the same gray-blue fabric, but it fit her body particularly well, making her look both cool and figure-hugging.

In fact, many people had noticed this before. After hearing what Liu Honghua said, they all nodded secretly and thought in unison: how could a small workshop be developed into a garment factory with seven or eight hundred employees in a short period of time? Just look at the clothes they wear and you will know that they have to make a living by doing this.

However, there are also people who disagree.

On the other side, a middle-aged man with thinning hair who had no choice but to implement the "local support for the central government" policy frowned and said, "Director Liu, what you said is a bit one-sided. Do you have to dress yourself to make clothes? Then are all of you who make food good eaters?"

Liu Honghua never expected that he could offend people just by praising Shen Moli.

But when she saw who was talking, she was no longer surprised. She smiled and said, "Director Gao, you are overthinking it. I was just praising Director Shen for her good looks and the fashionable clothes made by the factory. I didn't mean to mock you for not knowing how to dress, nor did I mean to say that the clothes of the Fifth Garment Factory were not good-looking. Most men don't care about their appearance. Why are you, a grown man, competing with a little girl?"

Before Shen Moer showed up, Liu Honghua was the youngest factory director present.

Liu Honghua, a female comrade, can become a factory director at this age. She is certainly not a soft-hearted person.

Her hometown is in Northeast China, and she has lived in the capital for many years. She has the straightforwardness and boldness of a northern woman.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people present felt secretly embarrassed for Gao Yong.

It is said that you should not hit people in the face, but Liu Honghua threw every word at Gao Yong's face.

Why did you mess with her?!

Besides, what Liu Honghua said was right. As a grown man, you can't be sarcastic to Director Shen just because you can't buy more clothes than Huacai Garment Factory. That's too embarrassing.

Everyone present here is an old fox. We all hang out in the capital and run into each other many times at meetings of all sizes throughout the year. We all know each other to some extent.

Many people realized that Gao Yong was just looking for trouble on purpose.

It has to be said that Gao Yong has had bad luck in recent years.

He has been the director of the Capital's Fifth Garment Factory for quite a few years. Logically, he should have moved to a new position a few years ago.

But that year, their factory was involved in an incident where someone impersonated someone else's college entrance examination results.

Although the thing was done by the deputy factory director, it involved personnel management and file management in the factory, and he, as the factory director, could not escape his leadership responsibility. In the end, he was directly punished, and the promotion was of course shelved.

Then in the past few years, the Fifth Garment Factory had just replaced a batch of equipment and was preparing to go all out, but Huacai Garment Factory suddenly emerged and directly snatched away most of their market share.

You should know that among the garment factories in the capital, the first and second garment factories are large state-owned factories that are given key support from the higher authorities. The third and fourth garment factories hold orders for uniforms and work protection clothes, and they can ensure a stable income regardless of drought or flood.

Only the Fifth Garment Factory was established not long ago and has a weak foundation, so it has to rely on itself in all aspects.

The Fifth Garment Factory was originally the one with the most and most fashionable clothing styles among the major garment factories. It was the "darling" of various department stores and its performance was actually very good.

But this situation was broken after the emergence of Huacai Garment Factory.

Starting from a model of braid that summer, Huacai Garment Factory seemed to be like a landslide, destroying the reputation and supply and marketing system that the Fifth Garment Factory had worked so hard to build!

Moreover, in the following years, it continued to press forward and eroded at least 40% of the market share of the Fifth Garment Factory.

In the past few years, Gao Yong couldn't sleep well almost every time the season changed.

From the beginning, people were worried about what new styles Huacai Garment Factory would launch, to the new styles of Huacai Garment Factory becoming popular again, and then to the sales of the Fifth Garment Factory declining again this season...it was almost a cycle.

Of course, other people are not so clear about these situations, but what other factory managers know is that the performance of the Fifth Garment Factory has been declining in recent years, and this has happened even though their superiors have allocated funds to replace new machines. One can imagine the pressure on Gao Yong.

Forget about getting a promotion now. If you continue like this, you might be held accountable.

No wonder Gao Yong had no manners at all and was directly sarcastic to the young female manager of Huacai Garment Factory.

When enemies meet, they become extremely jealous of each other.

But think about it, it is said that the first few batches of machines of Huacai Garment Factory when it was a small workshop were second-hand machines purchased from the Fifth Garment Factory. One can't help but sigh, things are unpredictable!
