Shen Qingyun's wife tried to persuade him earnestly, saying that Cheng Maixiang had used almost all of the dividends she received last year to expand the garment factory. Everyone in the factory knew about it, and many people felt sorry for Cheng Maixiang.

After all, the garment factory was jointly run by Cheng Maixiang and Shuangshui Village. If they wanted to expand the scale, not only Cheng Maixiang had to pay, but Shuangshui Village also had to bear the cost. However, Cheng Maixiang insisted on taking out his own dividends and investing them in the garment factory.

"Sister-in-law Chen, I really can't take it all out this time. I have planned it out. I will take out two dollars of my dividends first and return it to my boyfriend. After all, he is not from our clothing factory. He originally put up two thousand dollars of cloth coupons as capital. If I don't return it to him, I am afraid that I will be inferior to him in the future."

Cheng Maixiang's joke made all the female workers in the garment factory laugh, but no one had any objection. After all, it was a fact that Lin Jiayu had never taken a penny from the garment factory. The money originally belonged to him, so it was right for him to return it.

After Cheng Maixiang finished chatting and laughing, she waved to the female workers to sit down.

Everyone knew Cheng Maixiang's habit. Once they saw her make this gesture, they knew she had something important to say to everyone. They immediately stopped laughing and sat down in their seats.

“Dear aunts and sisters, our clothing business is getting better and better. Our clothes are not only sold in Guangzhou, but also in Hong Kong. But I think that since we are from Linwen County in the Eastern Province, we can’t always sell our clothes in other provinces and cities. In our hometown, we can only sell them in Linwen County.

So, starting next year, while I'm in the provincial capital attending university, I'm going to sell my clothes there. I'm also going to find a way to open up sales channels in other cities in Eastern Province. That way, we'll have more orders. With our current size, we definitely can't meet them, so the garment workshop will definitely need to expand."

Aunt Liu looked at the packed workshop and said in embarrassment, "Maizi, our workshop is so small. If we expand it, where will we put the new sewing machines?"

After hearing what Aunt Liu said, everyone nodded in unison.

Indeed, fifteen sewing machines were added at the beginning of this year, which almost occupied all the empty space in the room. Even the embroidery area had to be reduced in size. If more sewing machines were added, there would really be no place to put them.

Cheng Maixiang nodded. "Aunt Liu's words make a lot of sense. So, the next step for our garment workshop is to find a new factory. It's best if the area is several times larger than the current one. You can ask around. It needs to be large, but not too far from home, otherwise it will be a big problem for everyone to get to work."

Cheng Maixiang's words were like a stone dropped on the calm water. Everyone started talking about it, but after talking for a long time, they couldn't find a suitable place.

Cheng Maixiang waved her hand to stop everyone from talking.

"I know it's not easy to find a suitable place right away, but I've made two preparations. If I really can't find a suitable place, I'll pay to build a factory. The best location would be in Shuangshui Village. However, if we build a new factory, it might take a lot of time."

The female workers were stunned by Cheng Maixiang's words. Originally, the garment factory was so profitable and the female workers were very satisfied. However, Cheng Maixiang was not satisfied with the current success at all. She wanted to make the factory bigger.

"How much will it cost to build a new factory? Maizi, I'm afraid all the dividends you received this year will have to be spent on it." Shen Qingyun's wife said hesitantly.

She really didn't understand Cheng Maixiang's thoughts. She had heard that Cheng Maixiang had received a dividend of 15,000 this year, and she was quite envious. She was also wondering how Cheng Maixiang would spend so much money. She didn't expect that with just one word from her, not only did she spend all the money, but she was afraid that it still wasn't enough.

Cheng Maixiang sighed secretly. She had discussed this with Lin Jiayu before, and they both thought that this was the most difficult step. Whether it was to find an existing factory or to build a new one, it would be very difficult. However, at the end of the discussion, Lin Jiayu suddenly told her mysteriously that he had a solution, but he couldn't tell her now.

What exactly was the solution? Unfortunately, after she asked for a long time, he just smiled and said that she would know later.

"That's right, Maizi, you are a girl and you earn so much money, which is enough for you to spend. Why do you want to expand the garment factory and suffer the hardship?" Aunt Liu also echoed.

In her opinion, Cheng Maixiang was admitted to university, married into the city, and could earn so much money a year. What was there to be dissatisfied with? If she expanded the garment factory, she would definitely not be idle, so why should she make things difficult for herself?

"Dear aunts and sisters, have you forgotten that I told you that this garment factory does not belong to me alone, it belongs to all of us, and its development is closely related to you.

I have made plans. When the garment workshop expands, I will recruit more people. With more people, we will learn from state-owned factories and set up various departments. Then I will pick people from among you to be department heads. In addition, I want to open up sales channels, and when I go to do sales, I will also pick people from among you to do this job.

When the garment factory grows to a sufficient scale, I will negotiate cooperation with the village again. You are all veterans of the garment factory, and I will release some shares to you. Then you can not only get wages and bonuses, but also dividends like me. Isn't that a great thing?"

The female workers were attracted by the future blueprint of the garment workshop that Cheng Maixiang drew. Shen Qingyun's wife said with a smile, "If we can get shares and dividends, then wouldn't we be able to get money without working until the end of the year?"

"Sister Shen, don't be lazy. I've even thought of your future position. You will be responsible for purchasing and shipping. If the garment workshop runs out of fabric in the future, I'll have to ask you for it. If the goods can't be shipped, I'll also come to you."
