This thing doesn't involve much technology; Sheng Xiping just gained an early advantage and won over a large number of Japanese clients.

If more people follow suit in a couple of years, this product might not be as profitable anymore.

Therefore, there is no need to expand the workshop; maintaining its current size is sufficient.

"After a while, I'll go to the south again and find a place where bamboo is produced."

Let's develop some bamboo products, especially disposable chopsticks; using bamboo is more cost-effective.

Bamboo, despite its hardness, is actually a fast-growing herbaceous plant, making it more cost-effective than wood for making disposable chopsticks.

After Zheng Hua finished reporting everything that needed to be reported, he put a stack of documents on Sheng Xiping's desk and hurried back to his office to call his father.

When Zheng Xianyong heard that Huayang Processing Plant wanted to cooperate with them to produce disposable chopsticks, and that the price offered was not low, he was immediately delighted.

The processing plant in the forest farm used to be quite profitable because Sheng Xiping was able to secure orders.

Later, Sheng Xiping resigned and went into business. The processing plant had no new orders and became increasingly unprofitable. Now, it is almost unable to survive.

At this time, when Huayang Factory wanted to cooperate, Zheng Xianyong naturally did not refuse and agreed immediately.

"Wait here, I'll take some people down there right away, and we'll discuss the cooperation."

Seeing that the processing plant could be saved, Zheng Xianyong was overjoyed. He hung up the phone and quickly found a car to go to Songjianghe.

On the other side, after reviewing the documents, Sheng Xiping picked up the phone and called Chen Ruiqing.

"Brother, can you do me a favor? Isn't there a product exhibition and sales fair organized by the Ministry of Forestry in Guangzhou next month?"

"Is our province going to arrange for various companies to participate in the exhibition? Could you see if you could help me get a spot?"

"Sure, it's a small matter, I'll take care of it for you in a bit." Chen Ruiqing agreed without saying another word.

"Hey, thank you, brother. I'll treat you to a meal when I go to the provincial capital," Sheng Xiping said with a smile, thanking Chen Ruiqing.

"What are you thanking me for? We're brothers, why would we need to say such things?"

To be honest, you're too stubborn. I was going to reserve a spot for you at the Spring Trade Fair the other day. Wouldn't it have been great if you had gone? You could have earned foreign exchange through exports.”

Chen Ruiqing couldn't help but complain a bit on the other end of the phone.

"Brother, I don't plan to go to the Spring Trade Fair for the time being, mainly because the technology in the factory is not yet mature enough."

"Wait two years, we'll refine the new product further, and you can reserve a spot for me then. I'll definitely go." Sheng Xiping was delighted to hear this.

Chen Ruiqing had complained to him about this many times, but Sheng Xiping felt that the time was not yet ripe and it would be inappropriate to rush to the Spring Fair.
