Regardless of whether it can be sold in the capital, it's always good to take these steps first.
While waiting for Captain Wang to call back, Lin Xiaoxiao wrote a letter at the post office, explaining that the workshop's products were very popular with people in Beijing and that she wanted to mail some over to try and discuss cooperation.
Before cooperating, she wanted supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores to inspect the quality of the goods and even conduct trial sales. She listed how many of each item would be appropriate to send.
Before long, Captain Wang called.
"Uncle, is Lightning doing well at home? If he's running out of food, I'll borrow some from you and pay you back when I get back. I'm calling you mainly to let you know that the girls in Beijing also like the hair accessories we make."
"I'd like to ask the workshop to bring some over to see if we can sell them, and whether they'll sell well."
"I've already written down how many items I need to send. You can mail them out for me. The return address is on the letter."
Captain Wang kept nodding on the other end of the phone: "Okay, okay, Lightning is very sensible and hasn't caused any trouble for everyone. I'll prepare it as soon as I receive the letter, and I promise I won't hold you back."
"Xiaoxiao, how are things in Beijing? Is everything going smoothly? Will you be able to come home for the New Year?"
Lin Xiaoxiao: "Uncle, everything's going smoothly on my end. I'm going to spend the New Year in Beijing. I'll leave the lightning bolt and hair accessories to you."
"Okay, let's not stand on ceremony. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Wang hung up the phone very quickly.
Lin Xiaoxiao listened to the dial tone and smiled silently.
Standing to the side, Han Qiushi was truly surprised that Lin Xiaoxiao had only been back for a few days, yet she had already noticed the market reaction and acted with unusual speed.
Han Qiushi raised a question: "If sales are good in Beijing, are you planning to rely entirely on Wangjiacun for supplies?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "If the demand in Beijing is large, it's unrealistic to rely on Wangjia Village to supply it all the time, but setting up a factory in Beijing is not easy."
"Let's supply them like this for now, and we'll figure out a solution when we really can't keep up with the demand."
Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao say this, Han Qiushi wanted to help, but running a factory is not like buying things. With the current situation being so turbulent, the Han family dared not act rashly.
The two walked in silence for a while, and seeing many people carrying candy and vegetables along the way, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
If the products from Wangjia Village can sell well in Beijing and the surrounding areas, could we set up a factory there? With a factory, could we find jobs for our many brothers who were discharged from the army due to injuries?
Han Qiushi could tell from Lin Xiaoxiao's words that she also wanted to, but setting up a factory these days was not an easy thing, let alone in a place like Beijing.
This matter would be troublesome for others, but it wasn't a problem for Han Qiushi at all. In fact, it wasn't a problem for the military in Lishui. If he could help his fellow veterans find jobs, the leaders of the People's Liberation Army would handle it for him as soon as the matter was reported.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, so he shared his idea with Lin Xiaoxiao.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao considered the pros and cons.
If veterans come, needless to say, everything will be very orderly, and the factory will be extremely safe. Even if someone tries to cause trouble, they'll have to think twice before doing so.
Another point is that veterans have contributed to the country and should not be forced to return to the countryside to toil in the fields. They have shed sweat and blood for the country, and they should be allowed to live with their heads held high.
But there's a problem: all the work she needs to do involves needlework. A group of grown men can handle other tasks, but getting them to use embroidery needles... well...
Lin Xiaoxiao could hardly imagine such a scene.
Lin Xiaoxiao shared her concerns with Han Qiushi. It wasn't that she didn't want to provide the positions, but rather that they didn't match Han Qiushi's needs.
Han Qiushi thought about it for a moment after hearing this, and realized that his thinking was lacking, so he gave up on the idea, but felt it was a bit of a pity.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought Han Qiushi's idea was very feasible. She did not erase the idea from her mind, but kept thinking about what kind of things were suitable for disabled veterans to do.
If making clothes isn't an option, can't we make something else?
With such a powerful military backing us, we might as well take advantage of it!
Lin Xiaoxiao went through many projects in her mind, but none of them were quite satisfactory. Anyway, she had some time, so she could take her time to think about them over the next few days.
It's not impossible for them to set up a clothing workshop, but they lack sewing machines. If they had enough sewing machines, they could all learn by practicing.
Sewing machines are expensive and difficult to obtain; there are two in the space, but that's not enough.
After finishing this task, they took all their belongings out of the guesthouse. When they passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, they found it was overcrowded and it would take a lot of effort for the two of them to squeeze in.
In the end, Han Qiushi managed to snatch quite a few things thanks to his tall stature and handsome face.
Han Qiushi looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a happy face as he held the things, "Seeing everyone wholeheartedly buying things for the reunion dinner, even if they don't buy much, I feel happy. When I was scrambling to buy things, I felt that I would be especially happy to do this for my family."
"You're finding happiness in robbing others?" Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's beautiful face, her eyes calm and bright, Han Qiushi's heart began to flutter, and his voice unconsciously became a little hoarse: "Xiaoxiao, after the New Year, after we finish dealing with things, we'll get married, and then you can come with me to join the army, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Han Qiushi and noticed that the man in front of her was unusually nervous: "But if that's the case, then no one will be willing to run the factory business?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't continuing to say that marriage was too early, Han Qiushi understood that she had relented. His tense mood instantly relaxed by more than half, and the smile in his eyes grew wider and wider.
"You can rest assured about this problem. My parents and Qiulin are all in Beijing, so they can definitely handle it. If it's inconvenient for them, I have many trustworthy comrades and brothers here who can definitely get things done."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "So, you've thought all of this through?"
"Yes, getting married is such an important thing, so I have to be proactive, especially since you're such a good girl. I have to be even more proactive." As Han Qiushi said this, his face slowly warmed up and turned red.
