Chapter 234: Don't turn back until you hit the wall

Whether it is from the Foreign Trade Bureau, the District Government, or even Lu Qiaoge from 516.

The three companies now have a common goal, so naturally there is no nonsense or formalities.

The venue problem is easy to solve, there is no need to worry about raw materials, and as for funds, an advance payment will be received in a few days.

What is needed now are people.

And you can't be a novice, you must be an experienced master.

This requires a total mobilization of everyone from top to bottom.

Su Hongmei: "I have 27 masters here. They used to work at our Jiangcheng Handicraft Factory. Because the factory couldn't pay the wages, it merged with the shoe factory. They all had apprentices before and had experience in straw weaving. After I took charge of this area, I went to find them one by one. Most of them have retired, but their skills have not been lost. Since there is no special venue, it was handed over to the residents' committee. The first batch of straw hats have all passed the inspection."

Lu Qiaoge knew that these people were all craftsmen and very skilled.

Director Zhou nodded and said to Lu Qiaoge, "At present, it seems that having experienced workers is not a problem. We also have a ready-made factory. We can centralize and unify management, and it is also easier to control quality. Our cooperation is actually very simple."

Lu Qiage was easy to talk to, and most of the orders were given to Director Zhou and Sister Su.

An ad hoc group was also formed.

The office is located in the small conference room of the Foreign Trade Department until the project is completed on schedule and all payment is received.

Lu Qiaoge is naturally also a member of the team.

But she is mainly responsible for the business she is in.

After Lu Qiaoge went back, Lao Hu went to the handicraft factory to recruit workers and build the factory.

The manual work group has not moved for the time being. The seven people are working very well together, and it feels a bit like an assembly line.

But expansion is certain.

This time you can come from inside first. The main requirement is to be able to weave and be an expert at it.

Lao Hu is going to have a staff of 20 people.

At first, many people went to Lu’s house to ask Meng Xia for information, but when they heard that they had to take the exam on site, they all left disappointed.

There is no age limit, after all, there are very few young craftsmen.

Except for the apprentices of the old craftsmen.

The subdistrict office acted quickly, notifying us on the same day and conducting the on-site test the next day.

Thirty-nine people passed the test.

Among them, twenty-six were under forty years old.

The older one has very good skills, so he must be hired. Lu Qiage doesn’t care how to arrange it.

With the two directors of the street office present, Lu Qiage went to the Archives Bureau to help with confidence, mainly to find clues.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qiage found information about Red Star Lake. There used to be a pier there, which was similar to his initial guess.

Then there is the old gold mine, but there is no record of this.

There is no record even of the existence of a gold mine in Yuanbaoshan.

As for why it is called Yuanbao Mountain, it is because the peak of the mountain looks like a gold ingot.

It is now late August.

Not only did Lu Qiaoge receive a full month's salary, but the workers at the food factory and handicraft factory were also paid.

Not only did they receive wages and bonuses, but each person was also given an extra pound of meat coupons.

This is to encourage everyone to complete the task as soon as possible.

Today, handicraft factories have twice as many employees as food factories.

Then the General Office asked the Infrastructure Section to build a wall in the middle. There was no separate gate, and the gate was still shared with the food factory, after all, there was a guard room here.

The initial period of every factory is the most united and best managed.

My thoughts at that time were very simple, which was to work hard and not let the factory be disbanded.

You should know that many factories run by street offices were disbanded in the 1950s and 1960s.

After receiving her salary, Su Hui bought meat, eggs and fish, and went home early to cook a table of dishes.

I originally wanted to call Qin Hengzhi, but he went to a meeting and would not be back until the day after tomorrow.

After eating, Lu Qiaoling took out a handkerchief and a plaid hairpin, which she bought for Lu Qiage.

Lu Qiaoge didn't hesitate and took it with a smile.

She has all these, but since her sister bought them for her, they have a different meaning.

Lu Qiaoge said: "Someone asked me what kind of person you want to find, and I am going to introduce someone to you."

Lu Qiaoling immediately shook her head: "How old am I? It won't be too late for me to find a partner after you get married, second sister."

Then he asked Lu Qiaoge mysteriously, "Second sister, when are you and Brother Qin going to get married?"

This is the case now, dating involves the issue of marriage.

Meng Xia said that it would be convenient for her to get married because there was a ready-made house, which was in the military family compound in District 1.

There are two rows of small red brick buildings, all of which are of a large size. There is heating in the houses and there are yards in the front and back.

Lu Qiaoge also went there to conduct an investigation.

Lu Qiaoge felt a little strange in her heart. She thought for a while and said, "I definitely can't get married this year. I'll talk about it next year..."

Next year is actually not a good year for getting married.

Lu Qiaoling nodded. Her second sister’s brain was now very useful, and whatever decision she made was right.

Thinking of something, she said to Lu Qiaoge, "Second sister, did you know that Fan Xiaoyu's mother and her sister-in-law went to the handicraft factory to look for her yesterday afternoon?"

Lu Qiaoge frowned: "Why are you looking for her? Have you figured it out and want to take Fan Xiaoyu home?"

Lu Qiaoling nodded: "Yes, that's right. She also said a lot of words of apology, but Fan Xiaoyu was very busy, and Director Hu happened to be there, so her mother told Fan Xiaoyu not to rent a house outside and to go back home to live. She had already prepared a room for her."

Today's handicraft group is also well-known in military factories.

These people were transformed into regular workers.

Wages have also gone up.

Just this point alone has made so many people envious.

Naturally, Fan Xiaoyu is now the technician second only to Chang An, and many people know this.

If Chang An can be the factory director, then Fan Xiaoyu can at least be a deputy factory director.

So now Fan Xiaoyu is no longer the poor little girl who was kicked out of home and couldn’t live happily.

Lu Qiaoge asked, "What does Fan Xiaoyu mean?"

Lu Qiaoge rarely interferes with other people's thoughts. If he really thinks his family is good, then nothing you, an outsider, say will be of any use.

It is said that one will not turn back until he hits the wall, but some people are unwilling to turn back even if they hit their heads and bleed.

There's nothing anyone can do about this.

Lu Qiaoling said: "She is always with people like us, and she doesn't know what is good or bad. There is really no hope for her."

"She told her mother that when she was sent to the countryside to work, they said she was a money-loser and that everything in the Fan family had nothing to do with her. She had been doing housework since she was a child and had worked in the countryside for them. She didn't owe them anything and she wouldn't go back to live there, lest they ask her to pay the rent and she wouldn't be able to afford it..."

"Fan Xiaoyu's sister-in-law started to curse and swear, but luckily Director Hu came and chased her away."

Lu Qiaoling was in Lu Qiaoge's bedroom at this time. She was lying on the kang, petting the cat while talking to Lu Qiaoge. When she came to this point, she lowered her voice and whispered, "Compared with Fan Xiaoyu's sister-in-law, our sister-in-law is really very good."

Lu Qiaoge thought to himself that it was because Meng Xia did not favor boys over girls.

Lu Qiaoling continued, "She treats us as her own sisters, and I will treat her well. When I save some more money, I will buy a bicycle and then I will take her to work."

Lu Qiaoge hurriedly stopped him.

Nowadays, most cars are 28-inch, and Su Hui is not very pregnant, but you can wait a few months and see...
