Chen Jianhui immediately approved, “Okay! Director Guan’s opinion is more in line with our original intention of setting up the factory and our development needs, so let’s proceed with this draft… Ordinary workers 28-30, technical backbone 35, deputy 40, factory director 45, plus 2 grain allowances!”
"But Manager Guan, the factory is in your hands, and the wage standards are set according to your opinion, but the responsibility also rests on your shoulders! You must quickly increase production and quality, and open up sales channels!"
Guan Wenru nodded, "We will definitely do our best! By the way, Director Chen, there is something else I need to discuss with you."
Chen Jianhui nodded. "Go on."
Guan Wenru took out a plan, "It's about sales. I've looked into it, and all the production brigades are facing difficulties. It's hard for the brigades to come up with cash to buy feed."
Wang Guolong frowned. "Then what should we do? We can't just give them feed for free, can we?"
"Of course we can't just give it away for free. My idea is... to have them exchange cattle and sheep for feed!"
Wang Guolong was surprised, "Trade with cattle and sheep? This...this won't work! We're a feed mill, not a livestock farm! What will we do with the cattle and sheep we get?"
Guan Wenru pointed to the plan she had written, "Isn't our commune supposed to be in charge of the county's state-owned meat processing plant? The production brigades use cattle and sheep to pay for feed, and the commune takes over and collects these cattle and sheep, directly connecting them with the meat processing plant!"
The meat processing plant is short of a stable supply of meat. If our commune organizes a unified delivery, they will definitely welcome it.
In this way, the brigade solved the feed problem, our factory received real payment, and the meat processing plant secured a stable supply of livestock—a win-win-win situation.
Chen Jianhui's eyes lit up as he pondered carefully, "Using cattle and sheep to exchange for feed... the commune will connect with the meat processing plant... Hmm... this approach is novel and feasible!"
The summer pasture season is almost over for all the brigades, and some old, weak, or culled cattle and sheep can be used for exchange.
"I'll talk to the meat processing plant! They'd love to have a stable supply of meat from the commune, so they don't have to buy it piecemeal themselves! Great! Director Guan, you're quick-witted! I think this is a good idea!"
After listening, Wang Guolong thought it was feasible and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that they all agreed, Guan Wenru finally smiled, "As long as the commune is willing to take the lead in coordinating and connecting with the meat processing plant, the process will be streamlined and the risks will be controllable."
In this way, the brigade's burden is lighter, our factory has secured its raw material costs and working capital, and it can also boost the sales of our commune's livestock products.
"Okay! It's settled then!" Chen Jianhui made the decision again. "Director Guan, you are responsible for finalizing the prepayment procedures with the military as soon as possible. As for the brigade, I will convene a meeting with the brigade secretaries tomorrow to announce the plan of exchanging cattle and sheep for feed!"
Guolong, your finance department needs to cooperate with Factory Director Guan and the two deputy factory directors to clarify the exchange standards and accounts! Everyone, please cooperate well!
Everyone nodded, "Understood!"
...
Everything was going smoothly at the factory, and Guan Wenru's mood improved considerably.
She remembered that Wan Tao from the next courtyard seemed to be leaving soon.
When she got home that day, she took out a lot of beef jerky from her spatial storage and gave it to Wan Tao.
Ask him to deliver this to He Yanzhi and to pass on a message that the factory has started operations perfectly and everything is going smoothly.
Wan Tao accepted the items with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely deliver the items and my message."
"Thank you very much, Political Commissar Wan. There are two bags in total. One of them is for you. I hope you won't mind."
"What about mine?" Wan Tao looked at the package in his hand with surprise; it was quite heavy!
Guan Wenru chuckled, "Of course, we can't let Political Commissar Wan run errands for nothing."
Wan Tao was too embarrassed to accept her things. Just as he was about to say something, Guan Wenru waved her hand and said, "I won't interfere with Political Commissar Wan's time with his family."
"Sigh... Sister-in-law... I can't accept this..."
Guan Wenru guessed what he wanted to say and waved his hand, "Political Commissar Wan, please don't be so polite."
She didn't give Wan Tao a chance to refuse and went straight back to Courtyard No. 1.
Wan Tao smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, "I'll give both bags to He Yanzhi."
...
Wan Tao was leaving that evening, so he stayed home all evening.
Aunt Wan also dotes on her son. Although she doesn't like Gu Siyu, her son is about to go to the front line, and she wants him to spend some quality time with his wife before he leaves.
So she took the initiative to lead her two grandsons to visit other people's homes.
Men are almost all driven by their lower instincts, and Wan Tao did indeed have a good time with Gu Siyu before he left.
After all, once he leaves, it's uncertain whether he'll ever come back.
Gu Siyu had also thought of this, so she let him do whatever he wanted.
However, after the two finished their fuss, Gu Siyu still coaxed Wan Tao to take her underwear to be washed.
Anyway, it was him who made it dirty.
Wan Tao, being a chauvinist, was naturally unwilling, but since Gu Siyu had already made this request, he was afraid that if he didn't comply, she would cause trouble with his mother and his two sons after he left.
After thinking it over, Wan Tao gritted his teeth and washed her light-colored women's underwear.
As luck would have it, just as he finished washing the vegetables and was about to hang them up to dry, his mother returned with their two children.
When Aunt Wan saw what Wan Tao was holding, her face immediately darkened.
However, knowing that her son was about to leave, she could only suppress her anger.
She and Wan Tao talked for a while longer.
Soon it was time for Wan Tao to set off.
Aunt Wan and Gu Siyu both went out to see them off.
Aunt Wan and Gu Siyu did not return home until the military truck had completely disappeared.
As soon as the two stepped into the house, Aunt Wan angrily pointed at Gu Siyu, her voice shrill and sharp, "You shameless slut, have you no shame?! You want my son to wash that filthy thing for you?!"
