He Gang and Bai Guoguo said goodbye to Yang Xiaoyong and returned to the brigade headquarters, where they held a meeting with the brigade leader.
"Captain, I just went to the brick kiln with Brother He. The production capacity of our team's brick kiln is quite good. Normally, we can produce more than 10,000 bricks a day, and more than 20,000 bricks at full capacity. The number of tiles is also about the same. Our symmetrical brick kiln should be the largest in the area, right?"
Bai Guoguo and He Gang just went to the brick kiln to take a look. After listening to Hegang's explanation, they gained a preliminary understanding of the output of the brick kiln.
"That's right. Apart from the brick kiln in the north of the county town, our Red Star Brigade's brick kiln has the highest output."
Captain He stroked his beard, feeling quite proud.
"Then Captain and Brother He, should we collect local specialties from the surrounding communes first, or should we explore the market first?"
Bai Guoguo asked, actually she wanted to develop the market first, the reason, of course, was because it would be convenient for business trips.
"If I want to expand the market, I have retired comrades in the county and city, and I also know comrades in Harbin. I can use them to make some connections when the time comes."
He Gang used to think that he was quite capable, but compared with Bai Guoguo, his vision was not broad enough. His attitude now is to give his full support, contribute manpower and manpower, and provide all conveniences for Bai Guoguo.
"But if we go out and look for a market right after we arrive, wouldn't that be too much of a step?"
As the captain and branch secretary of the entire brigade, Uncle He has a heavy burden on his shoulders, so naturally he wants to be steady.
“But if we don’t have any orders, where will the money come from to collect the agricultural products?
After collecting these specialties, they must be taken to the team account for processing, and the team members' salaries must also be paid, right?
The processing site also needs to be prepared, which will take some time!"
Bai Guoguo pointed out several problems incisively. If you want to do something, the prerequisite is to have funds. Without money, nothing can be done!
After hearing Bai Guoguo's words, Captain He was silent for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Can you find the order when you go out? No one has done this before. Are you sure?"
"Uncle, everything depends on human effort. How can we know if it won't work if we don't try? We have to take the first step!"
He Gang is young and energetic after all, and does not have as many concerns as Captain He.
"Captain, Brother He, let's start with the local area. Do you know of any factories nearby that are profitable, have cramped living conditions for their workers, and have caused friction?"
Bai Guoguo raised a few questions. As long as she knew these conditions, she would find a way to open the door.
"Oh, what a coincidence! I actually know this. I went to the county for a meeting earlier and heard that the No. 1 coal mine in the county had a problem with the county because of insufficient housing.
Secretary Lin personally intervened and mediated the situation. I was watching the excitement from the sidelines at the time. It happened just before the Lunar New Year last year!"
After hearing what Bai Guoguo said, Captain He remembered something that happened last year.
"Has the conflict been resolved? Has the coal mine built a house yet?"
Bai Guoguo perked up and asked quickly.
He Gang was also curious, but he was curious about how Bai Guoguo would find the order.
Captain He thought for a moment and shook his head: "It seems that it has not been resolved yet, how can it be so fast!
Although the coal mine is profitable, it is not easy to acquire land or buy bricks and cement.
Besides, no company can afford to spend so much money on dormitories all at once. It’s not just one or two rooms, they’d have to build several buildings!”
Hearing this, Bai Guoguo happily pounded his palms and said, "Hey, this is just like a pillow when you're sleepy. Captain, please approve a note for me. I'm going to the county for a few days to see if I can get this big order from the coal plant."
"You little girl, don't just say whatever you want. Secretary Wang and Director Li haven't been able to solve this problem. What can you do? Don't get kicked out and cry!"
Captain He laughed and said that he felt that the educated youth Xiaobai was a little too fanciful.
As the next generation of children grow up, housing conflicts exist in almost every unit. Even the top leaders haven’t solved them. What can this young educated youth do?
He Gang also felt that this matter was unreliable, but he was smart enough not to say much. Based on his experience of getting along with his grandmother and mother at home, at times like this, he either supported them or kept silent!
He planned to go with Bai Guoguo when the time came. Even if he couldn't convince the director of the coal mine, he would at least lose face.
"Hey... why are you two men still looking down on others? I have an idea. When the time comes..."
Bai Guoguo raised her eyebrows, then leaned over and whispered her idea.
Captain He and He Gang's expressions changed in an instant, from confusion at the beginning to joy and then to excitement!
"How about it, Captain, Brother He, my idea is good, right?
If it is feasible, the coal plant will be our first target customer!"
Bai Guoguo raised his little head with a proud look on his face. How could someone who had lived through the era of information explosion be stumped by such a small problem?
