[Era Hoarding & Daigou App] Upon waking up, Su Xiaoxiao transmigrated into a book, finding herself in the impoverished 1970s. Her family of six had only two able-bodied workers, so poor that th...
Chapter 416: Setting up a Chili Sauce Factory
Hu San smiled flatteringly: "Second Uncle, don't be angry first, I have great news to tell you."
He hurriedly introduced him to Uncle Hu: "See? This is the sales manager from the Binhe City Department Store. He's here to help our village become rich."
Uncle Hu looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down, then set his sights on Hu San, with a look that said, "Do you think I look like a fool?"
This brat is old, but he doesn't do his job all day long. Instead of farming at home, he has to mess around. He hasn't made much money in all these years and can't even find a wife.
This thing that's half full is so worthless, and he thinks he can make the village rich? If he believes a word this grandson says, he will take his last name.
"Okay, then I'd like to hear how you guys can get rich."
Uncle Hu glared at Hu San, with a look on his face that clearly said, "I'll just watch you tell me a story."
Hu San was about to speak, but then he felt that his words were equivalent to farts in front of his uncle, so he looked at Su Xiaoxiao for help: "Sister Su, can you tell me something? You are the big boss of our factory?"
Uncle Hu's expression became even more disdainful when he heard this. This brat was getting more and more backward. He actually recognized a little girl as his sister.
It's amazing that he could shout that out with a 23-year-old face.
"Okay, tell me, I have something else to do, hurry up."
Uncle Hu didn't think from the bottom of his heart that a little girl like Su Xiaoxiao could have any ability.
It's not that he is prejudiced against men and women, it's mainly because women are naturally inferior to men in some aspects.
"Sister Su, please tell my second uncle quickly. He is the village chief. This matter can be done as long as he nods."
Hu San hurriedly explained to Su Xiaoxiao.
Unexpectedly, this guy is a relative of the village chief. She is really lucky.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately told Uncle Hu about her idea of setting up a factory.
Uncle Hu frowned and waited until Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking for a long time without saying anything.
"Uncle, what do you think? This is a great opportunity for our village to get out of poverty and become rich. If we miss this opportunity, we will never get it again."
Hu San urged anxiously.
After a long silence, Uncle Hu spoke: "I agree that you want to set up a factory in the village, but I have a request."
"Uncle, what are you doing? Sister Su is willing to come to our village to set up a factory because of me. If you do this, you won't be afraid..."
Before he could finish his words, Uncle Hu glared at him: "I haven't even told you what I want, why are you so anxious?"
After saying this, he realized that his tone was a bit rude, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a loving face: "Comrade Su, it's like this. You have seen the situation in our village. Many people in the village work in the fields and can't even make a living. If you want to set up your factory here, I can provide you with a venue for free, but that's it..."
He paused a bit guiltily before continuing, "Can you give priority to our village when your factory is recruiting workers and purchasing materials?"
Uncle Hu looked down on this little girl at first, but after hearing what she said, he felt that this idea of setting up a factory was feasible.
Thinking about the current situation in the village, he shamelessly asked this question.
"Okay, as long as they work efficiently and have good character, I will give priority to those from our village. As for the materials, as long as the quality is good, I will take them."
Su Xiaoxiao immediately nodded in agreement. She was unfamiliar with the place and it didn't matter who she used. She might as well do the village chief a favor.
What's more, the factory is built in the village, and if the employees are all from the village, a lot of trouble can be avoided.
Uncle Hu didn't expect her to agree so readily, and his old face almost turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.
"That's great. Comrade Su, what are your requirements for the site? There's a vacant house at the east end of our village. I'd like to take you to have a look."
Hu San was a little embarrassed. Where did his arrogant second uncle go?
Look at this, he's even more servile than him.
Su Xiaoxiao was pressed for time, so of course she wanted to go as quickly as possible, and immediately followed Uncle Hu to the vacant house.
It was a fairly large courtyard with four main rooms and two side rooms on the east and west sides. Although the courtyard was a bit old, it looked pretty good.
Uncle Hu explained to her, "This courtyard originally belonged to a wealthy local tycoon in the village. After he died, the courtyard became public property. We were planning to move the brigade here next year. Comrade Su, what do you think?"
Su Xiaoxiao followed and took a look around. For a rural area, this yard was built very grandly. There were houses made of loess mixed with red bricks all around, but this house was built entirely of red bricks. There was also a gravel road in the yard, and there was a small pool in the southeast corner, but it had not been used for so long that there was not much water in it.
Several houses also have good light transmission.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction, looked around everywhere, and said to Uncle Hu, "That's great, let's go here."
"I'm not using this house for nothing. How about giving the village eight dollars a month?"
This kind of ordinary yard only costs three or four yuan a month, but this yard does look nice, and Su Xiaoxiao thinks the price of eight yuan is reasonable.
"No need. Our village will be counting on you in the future. How much rent do you want?"
Uncle Hu immediately waved his hand. Since everyone had agreed to his conditions, he didn't feel comfortable accepting any more money.
"Village Chief, I have to give you this money, otherwise people who don't know will think I bribed you through the back door."
Su Xiaoxiao was very persistent. Now that the factory was just starting out, it might not be a big deal if she didn't pay the rent. But if she made money later, there was no guarantee that someone would feel jealous and make trouble because of the rent.
It wouldn't be worth it if something happened for this little money.
When Uncle Hu heard this, he realized that it was indeed true, and he looked at Su Xiaoxiao with even more appreciation.
Look, he is worthy of being from a big city, and he thinks more thoroughly than him.
After settling the housing issue, Su Xiaoxiao asked the village chief to help notify the villagers that night and prepare for the first wave of recruitment.
That afternoon, the villagers of Xiangyang Village finished their day's work and were about to go home when they heard a familiar voice coming from the village loudspeaker.
"Attention, all Xiangyang Villagers! Please gather in the brigade yard at 6:30 PM sharp. We have an important announcement to make..."
The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. What important matter couldn't be announced over the loudspeaker? Why did they have to go to the scene?
However, no one dared to object to the village chief's words. After all, the village chief was the greatest authority in the village.
At 6:30 that evening, the villagers finished their meal and gathered in the brigade yard.
The village chief cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I have a very important announcement to make. Starting today, we will also be setting up a factory in Xiangyang Village..."
After briefly explaining the situation of setting up the factory, the village chief had just taken a breath when he saw a young woman raise her hand.
The village chief frowned, his expression somewhat displeased. Why was this Wang family's daughter-in-law so troublesome? I heard that she had just had a fight today because a man brought a widow home. Why was she mentioned again now?
