As Ruan Qiushui and Xie Xiuying were talking, Gu Xianjin walked over.
"Ruan girl, there's something I want to discuss with you."
Gu Xianjin saw Ruan Qiushui and organized his thoughts.
"Uncle, what is it?"
Ruan Qiushui also poured a bowl for Gu Xianjin.
"Changfeng's wife's soup-making skills are unparalleled."
After finishing this bowl of soup, my mind calmed down considerably.
"I've come to see you today about the workshop."
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Xianjin finally spoke.
"The small workshops in our brigade are doing booming business now, and we can't keep up with the orders."
"The problem is that the venue and equipment are limited, making it difficult to produce more."
The supply and marketing cooperative has asked us to increase the supply several times, but our brigade has already reached its limit.
He was anxious because he couldn't earn so much money.
"Ruan girl, do you think we could apply to open a food processing plant?"
Gu Xianjin sought Ruan Qiushui's opinion.
He knew nothing about this and didn't know if it would work.
He'd already inquired about things at the commune. The problem was that he couldn't come up with a plan, so implementation was impossible.
"How much are we producing per day now? And how much does the supply and marketing cooperative need?"
Building a factory isn't out of the question, but there's no substantial profit to be made. How can we convince city leaders to agree to open a factory?
“Our workshops can currently produce 8,000 bags of potato chips and popcorn per day. But the supply and marketing cooperatives’ needs are far more than that.”
"Last time, the supply and marketing cooperative came to urge us to deliver the goods, saying that if each supply and marketing cooperative in the city opened up sales, the average daily sales could reach 500 packs."
There are nearly a hundred supply and marketing cooperatives of all sizes in the city. How big must that market be?
"Uncle wants to build a factory? What are the plans?"
So, the prospects for building the factory seem promising.
"I just want to ask what your plans are."
Gu Xianjin scratched his head sheepishly, and could only ask Ruan Qiushui for advice.
The workshop was also set up by my niece-in-law, and we would have had to trouble her a lot with the factory construction.
"Uncle, I'll bring you a proposal later tonight. Take a look and see if it's feasible."
After thinking it over, Ruan Qiushui decided to help Gu Xianjin out.
It wasn't just because of Gu Xianjin's kinship, but also because they wanted to boost the economy of the entire brigade so that the Gu family could also benefit from it.
"Okay, okay. Uncle will wait for you to bring the proposal later."
"No, no, no, I'll come find you later."
Gu Xianjin thought that it would be too late and unsafe to be on the road. He decided to bring his wife along to avoid suspicion.
"good."
Ruan Qiushui nodded.
She was happy to have one less trip.
After delivering the remaining mung bean soup to Gu Changshu and the others in the field, Ruan Qiushui took the empty bowl home.
Ruan Qiushui was deep in thought about the food factory's business plan, and didn't even notice when Gu Changfeng came back.
"Honey, what are you busy with?"
Gu Changfeng ambushed her from behind and hugged his wife tightly.
"Here you are."
Ruan Qiushui pointed to the project proposal in front of her and explained it to Gu Changfeng.
"Honey, you've worked hard. You go ahead with your work, I'll go make you dinner."
Gu Changfeng kissed his wife's neck, and even chased Hei Zi away.
"Woof woof".
I won't bother the lady of the house.
"Shut up."
I can't stay, and neither can you.
"Heizi, go and bring the fish from the basket to the kitchen."
Gu Changfeng ordered Hei Zi around.
He knew his wife liked spicy fish, so he specially exchanged it with the canteen's purchasing department.
"Woof woof".
Blackie wagged its tail and happily carried the fish to the kitchen.
"Here you go."
Gu Changfeng took out the pork bones he had bought for Heizi and put them in its special food bowl so it could gnaw on them.
When Gu Xianjin brought Lin Duomei to the Gu family home that evening, Ruan Qiushui had already prepared the proposal.
"Uncle, why don't you take a look first?"
Ruan Qiushui placed the proposal in front of Gu Xianjin, who was somewhat impatient.
Gu Xianjin became increasingly pleased and surprised as he looked at the document.
The expressions on his face kept changing, making Gu Changfeng and Lin Duomei laugh.
"Great, great, that's wonderful."
After reading his niece-in-law's business plan, Gu Xianjin was fully confident in finalizing the deal for the Hongqi Brigade Food Factory.
"My dear niece-in-law, I'll take the proposal with me now. Wait for your good news tomorrow."
After Gu Xianjin finished speaking, he excitedly hurried out of the courtyard.
He needs to go back and make full preparations so that he can win a resounding victory at the commune tomorrow morning.
Helpless, Lin Duomei smiled and waved to Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng before turning around and chasing after the old man.
The next day at noon, Ruan Qiushui had just finished lunch at home when Gu Xianjin came running over excitedly.
He had been jogging all the way without taking a break, and when he stopped at the gate of the courtyard, he was panting heavily.
"My dear niece-in-law, it's all settled. The food factory deal is done."
Gu Xianjin felt that things went exceptionally smoothly this time. He took the proposal to the commune to report to the leaders, and the commune leaders approved it after only three phone calls.
"That's wonderful, congratulations, Uncle."
This can be considered one of Gu Xianjin's achievements.
If the food factory project is successfully implemented, Gu Xianjin will likely be promoted.
"This is all thanks to you. I made a special application to the commune to appoint you as the factory director once the food factory is completed."
“I even brought my appointment letter.”
Gu Xianjin happily told Ruan Qiushui the good news.
He specifically explained that both the previous small workshop and the current project proposal were Ruan Qiushui's ideas.
If Ruan Qiushui doesn't become the factory director, who else has the qualifications and ability to take the position?
Although it was just a small branch factory set up in the brigade, it was still a remarkable position.
"this."
Gu Xianjin's move caught Ruan Qiushui completely off guard.
She had always planned to take the college entrance examination, and then start her own pharmaceutical factory while studying.
If she gets bogged down in the food factory issue, she won't have any space of her own.
"Niece-in-law, are you unwilling?"
Gu Xianjin was puzzled.
This is fantastic news! The factory manager's salary is much higher than that of ordinary workers. Surely your niece-in-law doesn't think the salary is too low.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I'm afraid my abilities are limited and I won't be able to fulfill this position."
Regarding the college entrance examination, there's no news yet, so we can't say anything explicitly, right?
"Oh, so that's what it is. Don't worry, niece-in-law, everyone recognizes your abilities, so just go for it. If there are any problems, your uncle will back you up."
Gu Xianjin was filled with pride and wished Ruan Qiushui could immediately lead the food factory to achieve great things and bring glory to the Red Flag Brigade.
"Alright then, I'll temporarily take over as factory manager."
"If I find someone more suitable for this position in the future, I will step down and give it to them."
Ruan Qiushui was thinking of training several successors so that she could smoothly hand over the reins when the college entrance examination was reinstated.
