"Quota?"
Li Miaomiao was a little surprised. Are there still places available for studying in Zhaojia Village?
"That's what those bastards from Zhaojia Village did on purpose. They said the school was only this big, and with so many children from nearby villages being sent there, there weren't enough classrooms and teachers, so they limited the number of places and gave our village ten."
When Accountant Wu said this, his tone was somewhat angry, which shows how angry he was when he heard this.
This sounds like a lot of places, but there are more than ten children in the village, more than double the number.
Li Miaomiao felt speechless after hearing this. What happened in Zhaojia Village? If they didn't have the ability, they shouldn't have built a school. After building the school, they even limited the number of students. I don't know if Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang knew about this. This was contrary to the original intention of building the school.
"Our village has its own school, so we don't need quotas from other villages. I think we can build the school with our own money and effort, without government subsidies. Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang have no reason to disagree."
Li Miaomiao was sure of this. After listening to Accountant Wu's retelling, she was actually a little angry. What Zhaojia Village had done was really hard to describe.
Accountant Wu also agreed. "We're going to have to rely on you for this. It's not that we're unwilling to do anything, but you're still more eloquent in front of the leaders and can get benefits for our village. But don't worry about the other things. As long as you ask, we'll take care of everything else."
"This is all for the good of the village. Since you are willing to trust me, I will definitely get this done!"
Li Miaomiao agreed immediately. She would just talk to her leader and leave the other difficult and troublesome matters to Pei Guoan.
After all, Xiaofan is Pei Guoan's son, and as a father he has to do something to help his son.
Pei Guoan didn't know that he had been assigned many things to do, but even if he knew, he would not have any objection. Seeing Li Miaomiao looking at him, he gave her a look of affirmation and encouragement.
At the paper mill, the packaging was loaded onto the truck. Looking at the packaging that filled half the truck, Accountant Wu now had another worry.
"Guoan wife, you've replaced all the soaps with wrappers. Can we use them all?"
This was the problem that Accountant Wu was worried about just now. Zhang Hui had the same concern, but they trusted Li Miaomiao and did not question her decision when she made it. But now they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Don't worry, we can still process all this wrapping paper. Don't forget that the Chinese New Year is less than four months away, so there won't be much supply by then. Let's place an order with the paper mill now so we don't have to wait for a last-minute order. Every mill is busy at the end of the year."
Pei Guoan just listened silently from the side. Hearing that Li Miaomiao was so far-sighted that she even took the situation at the end of the year into consideration, he became more and more certain that his daughter-in-law was no ordinary person, and he admired her even more.
Accountant Wu and Zhang Hui did not doubt Li Miaomiao's words, and their faces showed some excitement when they heard it.
"That's great! If that's the case, our village will have a prosperous New Year."
Li Miaomiao's face was also full of smiles. "It is indeed a prosperous year, but these few months have been busy enough for everyone in our village. The remaining soaps are what we promised to the textile factory, right? Let's deliver the soaps over now, and we can also negotiate a deal with the textile factory."
The amount of soap sent to the textile factory was a little less. This time the transaction was mainly with the paper mill. This was only the first batch of goods from the textile factory, with a total of 200 bars of soap.
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, the efficiency of your village's soap workshop is quite good. The first batch of goods has been delivered right away, very punctually."
"As you should. Although our soap workshop in Fanglin Village is only a small workshop, we take reputation very seriously. Since we have made an agreement, we will definitely not break our promise. As for the quality of this soap, Director Wang, please send someone to inspect it. If there is no problem, we will follow the contract."
Wang Zhen was also very efficient in his work. He nodded with satisfaction when he heard this and immediately asked a special quality inspector to come and check the quality of the soap.
"Director, the quality of this batch of soap is very good. There is no problem. It is even better than the soap you showed me before."
After receiving a positive response from the quality inspector, Wang Zhen nodded with satisfaction and asked someone to bring the exchanged fabric.
"These are all good defective fabrics. Although these fabrics have some defects, they are all brand new and the defects are not too serious. There will be no problem in making clothes. The key is that they are much cheaper than normal factory fabrics, only one-third of the price of normal factory fabrics."
It was also the first transaction. There were a lot of defective cloths piled up in the factory. I found a lot of them by just sorting them out and traded them with Fanglin Village.
Accountant Wu and Zhang Hui couldn't help but be delighted when they heard this: "That's great, thank you, Director Wang."
Director Wang was quite happy to see them, as this was normal. Cloth outside not only required cloth coupons but was also very hard to come by, especially these defective cloths, which were usually consumed by the supply and marketing cooperatives, or given as welfare to everyone in the factory. It was not easy for ordinary people to buy them.
"This time, the factory happens to have a lot of defective cloth, so I'm going to exchange it with you. I also see that you are very sincere. But in the future, it will depend on the specific situation. I will only exchange it if I have extra."
Li Miaomiao understood what Director Wang meant. "Of course. We're very grateful that Director Wang can exchange so many defective fabrics this time. From now on, everything will be in accordance with the contract."
Li Miaomiao was not worried at all. Of course it would be better to have defective cloth, as she could exchange more. No one in the village cared whether the cloth was defective or not. Most families did not have enough clothes. It was okay in hot weather, as they would wear them, wash them at night, and continue wearing them during the day. In winter, sometimes they would not go out, and it was not uncommon for sisters and brothers to share a cotton-padded jacket.
There is no defective cloth. Even if the price is a bit higher, at least no cloth coupons are required. Besides, how can such a large textile factory not have defective cloth? There is still a lot of room for maneuver here.
Director Wang was satisfied when he saw that Li Miaomiao spoke clearly and frankly.
After the transaction was completed, Director Wang indeed talked about the year-end benefits. This time, Li Miaomiao did not agree as readily as she had at the paper factory, and her tone was a little hesitant.
"Director Wang, if it's such a large order, I can't agree right away. I need to go back and calculate the specific data. To be honest, we went to the paper mill before coming here, and they've already ordered a large quantity of soap from us. Add to that the order from the county, and I have to go back and check the specific output of the workshop before I can give you a reply. If we rush the work, I'm afraid the quality won't meet my requirements. No matter what, our workshop must put product quality first."
Director Wang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Miaomiao to be so capable and to have cooperation with other factories. He had originally given such a large order to the Fanglin Village Soap Workshop with some pretense.
