Li Miaomiao listened to Wang Zhen's words, but the smile on her face did not change. "Director Wang, this problem is not a problem for us at all. Although our workshop is run by the village and cannot compare with those large factories, its production capacity is not small. When the workshop was first built, our village chief took this into consideration and listened to my advice and specially built it larger. As long as the need arises, we can expand production at any time."
Wang Zhen raised an eyebrow at this, but remained silent until Li Miaomiao continued, "As for manpower, it's not a problem at all. Our village has only assigned a portion of its workforce to the soap workshop. The autumn harvest is almost here, and after that, there will be less work to do in the fields, so more people can be put into the soap workshop. If we're short on manpower, we can always recruit from neighboring villages. Your concerns are completely non-existent."
"Even if the venue and staffing can be solved and new people join, can you still guarantee the quality of the soap? If the soap you make is not the same as the soap you took out yesterday, we will not agree to the exchange."
"Of course. We can absolutely guarantee the quality. Director Wang, you don't need to question this. I personally control the quality. If the soap is not finished properly in any way, it cannot be packaged and sold. Director Wang, you can arrange for quality inspectors to sign a separate contract. If the product fails the inspection, compensation will be paid according to the contract."
Li Miaomiao was able to solve all the problems that Wang Zhen was worried about very well, and she also took the initiative to propose writing this point into the contract. After signing the contract, these words would not only be personal promises, but would also have legal effect.
Wang Zhen was indeed very satisfied with Li Miaomiao's answer. If that was the case, there was no reason for their textile factory not to cooperate with the Fanglin Village soap workshop.
"Okay, I'll immediately call a meeting of all the factory officials to discuss this matter. I'll also have someone draft a contract and include all these details in it. This will serve as a constraint and protection for both of us. As for more specific issues like how to make an equal exchange, we'll have someone come to discuss and finalize this with you."
"Okay, it's settled then."
After returning from the textile factory, Li Miaomiao's expression showed nothing, so much so that Accountant Wu and Wang Chunhua who were waiting outside were wondering whether the matter was successful or not.
"Miaomiao, how's things going? The director of the textile factory called you over. Does he agree or not to exchange supplies with our soap workshop?"
"Let's go, let's go back to the guesthouse first."
Seeing that Wang Chunhua's voice was too loud and passers-by on the street heard it and looked over, Li Miaomiao quickly said that such a thing was still a little bit behind in completion and it was not appropriate to discuss it outside.
"Yes, this is not the right place to talk about it. Let's go back quickly."
When they arrived at the guesthouse, Li Miaomiao talked about the textile factory with Accountant Wu and Wang Chunhua.
"So Miaomiao, did you really get it done? Oh my god, you're incredibly capable. You managed to pull off such a big thing in no time! This is such a joyous occasion! If everyone in the village knew about this, they would be overjoyed. Our Fanglin Village will also be able to have a prosperous New Year today."
Accountant Wu smiled when he heard what Wang Chunhua said.
"That's right. In the past, people only envied Zhaojia Village, but this year we can also be envied. With these two big deals, our workshop can't help but be prosperous."
Li Miaomiao also smiled when she heard this.
"Although this matter has been basically finalized, the contract has not been signed yet. We all need to keep a low profile and not publicize it, so as to avoid any unexpected changes." Li Miaomiao was afraid that they would be too happy and lose their composure, so she reminded them.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything. No matter who asks, I won't say a word. If I ruin the good things of our village, I won't be able to go back with shame."
"Don't worry, Guoan wife, we still have some sense of propriety and won't be so careless." Accountant Wu also quickly assured
"I know you're all steady people, but this is a serious matter, so I'm just giving you a few instructions because I don't want anything to go wrong. After all, with such a happy event, it's possible that something might slip up if you're too excited."
"No, no, we all remember it."
"Then let's discuss the details and the contract. Once the contract is signed, things will be settled."
"But how is this contract supposed to be drawn up? We don't understand it either. This is the first time I've even heard of the word 'contract'."
Accountant Wu said this and started to worry again.
Although he was the village accountant before, there were only so many things to do in the village. Later, he became the manager of a soap workshop. For orders from the county, they shipped the goods while the other party paid, and there had never been a need to sign a contract. Although he knew that this was the case, he was at a loss when it came to actually doing it.
Wang Chunhua was stunned when he heard this: "Yeah, why is it so complicated? We have to sign a contract. I have never heard of this. How is this done? Don't let our village suffer because of ignorance."
"Signing a contract is to protect the interests of both of us. After all, paper mills and textile mills are not small businesses like those in the county. They have their own rules and regulations and must follow the plan. What if we don't sign a contract and they don't keep their promise? What if we make all the soap and they don't want it? That would be the end of us. That's the benefit of signing a contract."
"That's what we say, and we understand it, but we don't understand how to work out the contract. Guoan wife, do you understand this?"
"Don't worry, leave this to me. When the time comes, I'll check the contract and make sure it's ok. You can sign it with the other party and stamp it with our workshop's seal."
Hearing that Li Miaomiao also understood this, Accountant Wu and Wang Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief and became more convinced.
"Okay, you tell me what to do. I'll listen to you. Anyway, you're in charge, so nothing will go wrong."
Once the specific details were finalized and the contract was signed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Guoan wife, what should we do next? Should we go back to the village first?"
"Uncle Wu, you and Auntie go back first. Have everyone rush to get the soap out these few days. After all, the big factories in the provincial capital are very efficient. I'll discuss the specific details with the designers there in the next couple of days. By the time you guys ship the soap over, the wrapping paper will be ready. We can then exchange supplies and take the wrapping paper back with us."
The village affairs have been handled, but her affairs have not been handled yet. It is time to get people away, otherwise how can she find Pei Guoan to complete the task.
"How can I leave you here alone?"
Accountant Wu felt worried when he heard that Li Miaomiao was left alone.
"The packaging details haven't been finalized yet, and I can't go back right now, but the packaging factory needs the goods and can't delay them, so this is the only arrangement."
"How about letting your Aunt Chunhua stay here with you?"
