After a short break after dinner, everyone visited the garment factory together.
A brand new bungalow made of blue bricks and tiles, with a few ventilation holes on the wall and clean and bright windows.
Looking in through the window, you can see many devices operating in an orderly manner, inspecting cloth, cutting, sewing, ironing, and transporting, quickly and orderly, showing a fresh texture that does not belong to this era.
The workers were wearing uniform work clothes and were busy at their respective positions. Wu Muxiang introduced:
"These machines were shipped from Guangzhou. They can achieve very high production efficiency. According to the styles we usually make, we can produce up to tens of thousands of pieces a day."
There were employees from a garment factory in the delegation, and they were amazed to see these machines. Many state-owned factories still used very old machines, and some even required a lot of manual operation.
Although technology has advanced and such machines can be manufactured domestically, not all factories use the latest machines.
Perhaps only Guangzhou can achieve such efficient automated production.
Everyone was amazed. "I didn't expect such a small village to have so many machines. That must be a huge investment, right?"
Sun Yingshi asked Wu Muxiang, "Your costs for fabric, labor, equipment, etc. must be quite high, right?"
Wu Muxiang smiled and said, "The production cost is indeed not low, but our clothes have special designs and the selling price is not low, so we can guarantee profits."
"There is also design?" The inspection team was surprised when they heard this word.
At present, people's living standards are still at the stage of having enough food and clothing, so not many people care about whether the clothes look good or not. They focus more on whether they can be worn.
Even a young girl who loves beauty can look good in her clothes by choosing the pattern, style and shape, all depending on the skill of the tailor.
Most people are still quite unfamiliar with the word "design". It was a word that only the wives of powerful people before liberation could enjoy.
Wu Muxiang took them to the design room, took out the previous drawings, and found some samples to show them.
A group of men looked at the dresses and expressed admiration, "They're all made of the same fabric, and at first glance they look like the same skirts, but why do they look so good?"
"If I come across such a beautiful dress, I will definitely buy one for my wife and daughter. The design is so unique and not out of the ordinary at all."
Someone asked, “Who is the designer of this dress?”
Wu Muxiang smiled confidently: "I designed these clothes myself."
Sun Yingshi sighed: "You are the core competitiveness of the factory."
Wu Muxiang then went on to explain: "Our business mainly relies on orders from wholesalers and units. We also cooperate with state-owned stores and send our own salesmen to set up stalls."
Everyone nodded: "The sales channels are quite wide."
After another round of visits, the team leader accompanied the inspection team to walk around. The white pear blossoms, pink peach blossoms, and tiny petals spread out luxuriantly and densely. The uneven colors extended to the distance and formed a blurred and bright color group. Bees were busy among the flowers.
Turning around, there is a field of golden rapeseed flowers with a sweet fragrance wafting in the air. The buzzing sound of bees in the warm sun evokes a lazy and comfortable feeling.
In front of the blue brick and tile house, there is a peach tree planted alone in the villager's yard. The pink peach branches full of flowers shade the eaves. The villagers chop wood and fetch water, and the sounds are full of life and peaceful rhythm.
The sweet clover in the field is still blooming, a patch of purple dotted among the green fields, pleasing to the eye.
Sun Yingshi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Your village is so beautiful, the food is delicious, and the people are so simple. I really don't want to leave."
The team leader thought secretly that not all villagers were simple and honest. They only thought the scenery was beautiful when they came here occasionally. Living here every day, he had no time to care about the scenery.
After all, life in the countryside is definitely not as convenient as in the city.
However, the captain's expression revealed that he was very happy to be praised, which shows that this time the good side of the village was shown to the inspection team!
The inspection team saw a group of young people surrounding a person in another courtyard. The person seemed to be explaining something to the young people, and they couldn't help but move closer to take a look.
The team leader explained, "These young people haven't been educated, and they can't find work in the village. It's a waste to keep them farming. So I found some skilled craftsmen to teach them a skill so they can have a job."
Sun Yingshi nodded repeatedly: "This is also good. The children have a way out, and it can be regarded as cultivating technical talents for the country."
Although farmers are revered, few of them can eat enough to grow crops. They work hard all their lives, worrying about food and clothing, and their lives are as miserable as can be.
It is indeed a pity that such a delicate and lively young man has to work in the fields with his back to the earth. Although learning skills is tiring, at least he can earn money.
Of course, there are also people who like to farm, that’s another matter, after all, someone has to farm the land.
If a group of people live on a piece of land, not everyone will have enough to eat. If a person lives on a piece of land, the situation will be completely different.
The delegation left satisfied. Before leaving, the team leader gave them some honey lemon, dried pumpkin and grapefruit peel.
When they left, they rode on a tricycle in a very stylish way. With a clatter of dust, the tricycle dragged a group of people and a pile of packages away quickly.
Wan Qingliu looked at the backs of this group of people and couldn't stop smiling.
"If there were a few more waves of people like them, my business would be much better."
This group of people had a strong purchasing power. Not only did they buy a lot of things at the convenience store, they also bought a lot of clothes, gloves and socks at the garment factory. They came with empty hands, but left with full hands.
Wu Muxiang was also very happy. No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat. He made some money by entertaining these people, so it was not in vain.
After the inspection team left, the villagers continued to live their lives as usual.
In the past few years, many educated youth were assigned to remote rural areas in Xinxian County. Now almost all of them have returned. Some of them have been admitted to universities, some have found jobs, and many of them cannot find jobs after returning.
Among this group of people, many of them are idle and have become street thugs.
The new gangsters joined the old thugs to form a vicious force, and many street vendors were asked for protection fees by them.
Although Wu Muxiang sent a male salesperson to set up a stall with He Shuiping, they were still unable to escape the beating and smashing by the thugs.
When Wu Muxiang heard the news that He Shuiping was robbed, she was very angry and slammed her hand on the table, making a bang.
She said decisively: "This group of people is too lawless! Shuiping, Xinwei, don't go to set up stalls for the time being. Money is a small matter, but it's stupid when something happens to people."
He Shuiping said worriedly, "Wouldn't that mean the factory would lose a source of income?"
The most important thing is that she has no income. Although Wu Muxiang didn't say that she didn't want her to work anymore, she had no work to do. How could she have the nerve to take the money?
