Huang Qinqin took out the purchase approval slips from both factories and handed them to Xu Weiguo.
"Dad, our department store plans to purchase more goods to sell, and some of the products will require bamboo tubes."
"Now the department store asked me to negotiate with the nearby commune to help provide bamboo cups. The two factories will buy them for five cents each."
Xu Weiguo looked down and saw that the food factory had purchased 5,000 units and the oil press had purchased 2,000 units.
Xu Weiguo did the math in his head and realized that this would bring in 350 yuan a month, which was a significant amount for a village or even a brigade.
"Has the department store decided which commune provided the supplies?"
Huang Qinqin shook her head, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Not yet. Manager Gao asked me to go and negotiate."
"That's what I wanted to ask you now, Dad, do you have any suitable communes you could recommend?"
Xu Weiguo had just silently analyzed the pros and cons of this matter in his mind and came to the conclusion that it was entirely beneficial to them.
“Xujia Village in Fengyang Commune is a perfect fit. They have a large bamboo forest there. And almost every household in the village is very skilled at making bamboo products.”
"Qinqin, what do you think?"
Huang Qinqin smiled slightly: "That sounds quite suitable. However, there are certain requirements for the bamboo tube."
"The bamboo tubes need to be engraved with the words for salt, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and oil respectively; these words are easy to distinguish. And the quality must be guaranteed; there can be no defective products."
Xu Weiguo nodded: "Of course. We all have tomorrow off, so why don't we go to Xujia Village together tomorrow?"
"Yes, that's good. It'll be a good opportunity to discuss this with them in person."
After discussing it, they decided to go back together the next morning. Xu Fang hadn't been back for a long time either, so it would be perfect for them to go together.
After returning to his room, Xu Junhui said confidently, "Wife, you had already decided to have Xu Family Village provide these bamboo tubes, right?"
Xu Junhui suddenly remembered that Huang Qinqin had stayed up all night writing materials and drawing these bamboo cups. He always felt that his wife had planned it all along.
Huang Qinqin tilted her head and replied playfully, "Congratulations on guessing correctly~ But there's no reward, hehe~"
Xu Junhui asked curiously, "Why Xu Family Village?"
Xu Junhui thought Huang Qinqin would think of Huangjia Village first, after all, they had such a good relationship.
As for Xujia Village, to be honest, Xu Junhui didn't really have much affection for it.
They've been living away from the village for so long, and he doesn't have a very good relationship with the other villagers.
Huang Qinqin held Xu Junhui's fingers and answered, "Because of my third uncle's family."
"Um?"
Huang Qinqin said seriously, "Do you think Uncle Three and the others will give up on harming us?"
Xu Junhui blurted out, "No way!"
"That's right. If this matter is successfully resolved, everyone in Xujia Village will owe us a debt of gratitude. Because we gave them the opportunity to make money."
“If my third uncle and his gang want to do something bad, they might try to frame Dad by asking people in the village. If all the elders in the village come forward and say that Dad has a problem.”
"That would be more troublesome. There was an example of that when we had our banquet last time. Now they're all either afraid of or just flattering Uncle San."
"It's simply because we think that Uncle San might bring them benefits. Now we're going to try to win them over, regardless of whether we end up using them or not."
"It's only good for our family, not bad. Are many of the people who are being sent to farms really problematic?"
"No, many of them were even reported by their own relatives and friends. So I think sometimes it's still necessary to win people's hearts."
"Of course, that's because Xujia Village is really suitable. They have a lot of bamboo forests there, which means plenty of raw materials, at least ensuring the supply quantity."
After listening to Huang Qinqin's explanation, Xu Junhui finally understood. He suddenly realized that his wife was much smarter than him.
......
Since Huang Qinqin got married, the Huang family has mostly eaten at the cafeteria. They only cook at home on weekends when they have time off.
Today was the same for Chen Zhaodi. Huang Eryuan and Huang Jianjun were both at the cafeteria, but Huang Jianguo was nowhere to be seen.
They were used to it; Huang Jianguo's off-get off work time was often different from theirs, and they assumed that he was also delayed by work today.
So they didn't think much of it. It wasn't until they finished eating and came out of the canteen that they heard a lot of people talking about how one of the factory's drivers had been in an accident.
When Chen Zhaodi heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked her coworker next to her nervously, "You just said that the factory's driver had an accident? Do you know what happened?"
"I heard that a driver was robbed while delivering goods, and when he came back, he was covered in blood and collapsed right at the factory gate!"
"No, no, I heard that he had already passed away. It is said that he held on to his last breath and drove the tractor back from the factory, but he couldn't hold on and died right at the factory gate."
"That can't be right. I heard that he was just injured and then taken to the hospital?"
"Didn't they say he had already passed away? Many people are saying there's a lot of blood at the factory gate."
The more Chen Zhaodi listened, the more panicked she became. Moreover, they were going on and on without getting to the point. Chen Zhaodi interrupted, "Do you know which driver it was?"
"I really don't know. I heard he was taken to the hospital very quickly, and not many people saw who it was."
"If you ask me, it's definitely beyond saving, otherwise why would they have taken it away so quickly?"
"That doesn't seem right. They should still be breathing, which is why they rushed them to the hospital, right?"
"I don't know, but with so much blood lost, he'd be half dead even if he doesn't die."
Huang Jianjun frowned as he listened to the others. Unfortunately, Huang Jianguo hadn't left work yet today either.
Huang Eryuan suggested, "Why don't we go directly to find the boss? It shouldn't be him; the boss is always the most composed."
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's hurry and go find Jianguo!"
Although Huang Eryuan said he probably wouldn't be the boss, Chen Zhaodi wasn't so optimistic.
For some reason, after learning about the driver accident, she had a feeling that Huang Jianguo must have been in trouble. But she hadn't seen him yet, and all she could do now was pray that her feeling was wrong.
However, they didn't need to wait for them to arrive. After learning about Huang Jianguo's accident, the security department had already sent someone to notify his family.
It's just that we went to the workshop first and then asked people along the way, and only now have we found them after passing the canteen.
The security guards approached Huang Eryuan and his group and cautiously asked, "Hello, are you family members of Comrade Huang Jianguo?"
