Li Miaomiao saw that Director Wei looked a little hesitant and knew that this involved some other issues, not just printing.
There is competition among schools, let alone schools in the provincial capital. These materials are printed at the paper mill, and the paper mill should have an agreement with the school, but she does not want to give up fighting for the children.
"Director Wei, if you can agree to this condition, we will give priority to supplying any products from our soap workshop to your paper factory. As you know, we will launch many related products in the future. Besides soap and shower gel, these are not sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives. You can only buy them at the International Friendship Store."
Li Miaomiao raised the stakes again. Although the shower gel issue had not been put on the agenda yet, the shower gel bottle alone was a problem. She had to find a suitable manufacturer, and there was also the problem of sales. But if it was for the children in the village, it was not impossible to find a way to produce a small amount.
Director Wei was naturally tempted by such conditions. Originally, the Fanglin Village Soap Workshop was willing to continue exchanging wrapping paper, and he was very happy about it. Of course, exchanging wrapping paper for money was more cost-effective.
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, it's not that I don't want to agree to your conditions, but our factory has a confidentiality agreement with the school when printing materials for them. We can't disclose the school's information to anyone else. Although I'm tempted by your terms, the factory can't do anything that goes against our principles. This is the bottom line."
Li Miaomiao was not surprised to hear what Director Wei said. It seemed that she would have to find other ways to find the study materials.
"I see. That's as it should be. I fully understand. I never meant for your company to violate its principles. What I want isn't the specific practice materials for each school, but the textbooks and workbooks. These are the same for every school, so they shouldn't violate the agreement."
Seeing Director Wei's surprise, Li Miaomiao continued, "Director Wei, you don't know that it's not easy for children in the mountains to go to school. There's no school in our village, so children have to go to the county school if they want to go to school. Even though this is the nearest school, it's a bit far and the children can't walk there. But sending them there is also unrealistic. Everyone has to work to earn a living, so where would they have the free time? There are only a few people in the village who have bicycles. As a result, the children's education is delayed."
Regarding the matter of studying, Li Miaomiao believes that Director Wei knows the importance of it.
Director Wei really didn't expect the situation in the village to be like this, and he somewhat understood the reason why Li Miaomiao did this.
"How can children not read? Without reading, they cannot understand reason."
"That's the truth. If they don't study, they won't even be able to read. They'll just have to work in the fields to make a living. But they could have had a better, brighter future. We've all decided in our village that no matter what, we have to build a school. If the county can support us, that would be great. Otherwise, we have to build the school ourselves. Everything else is easy. We've already found the teachers, but we also need the teaching materials and textbooks for the students."
"In that case, I really can't provide other materials unless you can get them yourself. It's not against our principles for our factory to help print them, but we do have teaching materials and textbooks already printed."
Director Wei cannot be considered a very good person, but he is more fond of and tolerant of children. Fanglin Village is willing to do this for the children, and he is not doing it for nothing. As long as it does not violate the principles, it is okay to give them some convenience.
"That's great. Thank you, Director Wei. What I just said still counts. From now on, the products from our village soap workshop will be given priority to your factory. I will never break my promise."
This priority does not mean any loss to Fanglin Village, but Director Wei was very happy to hear it. Before, when they applied for supplies in the factory, they often picked up the leftovers from other units. After all, the paper mill is not like the textile mill and other units that have the supplies everyone needs, so the treatment is not as good as those units. Even if they feel unfair, there is nothing they can do.
Even the exchanged soaps can be distributed to other units if the factory has any surplus, and they can exchange them for other supplies, so there is no need to worry about the benefits for employees during the New Year.
"Director Wei, I can have someone bring the review materials over later."
Pei Guoan also spoke at this time. What was difficult for Li Miaomiao and others was just a small matter for him.
But Li Miaomiao actually cares about the children in the village. It turns out that she is a kind girl.
Li Miaomiao's eyes lit up when she heard that. She knew Pei Guoan's background well and naturally knew that he could do it. She had originally planned to find some way to get the information. If Pei Guoan took action, it would not be a problem at all.
"That's great. The teaching level in our village can't compare to that in the county or city, let alone the province. This is largely due to the difference in resources. If we had their study materials, the children in our village would at least not be left behind in this area. As long as they work hard, their grades will not be bad."
Accountant Wu and Zhang Hui nodded repeatedly when they heard this. Who doesn't have children?
"Miaomiao, you're really smart. With this information, our village won't have to worry anymore. Even if the county doesn't support us, we can still run our own school and teach the children well."
Li Miaomiao felt something was wrong when Accountant Wu said this.
"Uncle Wu, what you said, could it be that there is something wrong with the school construction?"
Accountant Wu sighed and told what had happened in the past few days.
"Our village built a soap workshop, which was already a source of envy. As you know, the school was already built. Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang were very satisfied with our school and agreed to build it in our village. But when other villages heard the news, they were not happy, saying that Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang were biased towards our village. Although Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang have no selfish motives, they still have concerns. They have already talked to the village head and plan to build the school in Zhaojia Village."
Li Miaomiao frowned as she listened. "It's just as inconvenient for children to go to school in Zhaojia Village. In that case, we can just open our own school. The teaching building is already built anyway. We have several well-educated educated youths at our village's youth training center, so they'll have no problem teaching the children. The textbook problem is also solved. If our village builds its own school without assistance from the county government, other villages won't have much to say either."
"That's right, Guoan's wife, you're smart and have solved a big problem for the village. The problems everyone was worried about have been solved. I wonder what they have to say. Our village built the school with our own ability, so we don't care about the quota given by Zhaojia Village."
Accountant Wu said this with a hint of sarcasm on his face, which was very satisfying.
