Fortunately, the staff in the relevant departments were very dedicated, and since they also remembered the Five Star Food Factory, they immediately called their superiors to inquire.
The higher-ups consulted the city government, which clarified the application process for this thing for them.
Because food is involved, Zhang Xiaoqing and her colleagues had to provide a food safety certificate. However, the county did not have the authority to issue such a certificate, so they had to take all the necessary documents and a letter of introduction from the county's industry and commerce bureau to the city to process it.
Fortunately, the registration period is long enough that there is still time for everything.
Zhang Xiaoqing is an impatient person. She also wanted to handle it herself, but she has a daughter at home. Even if she sends her child to preschool, she still has to pick her up when it's time.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqing couldn't go to the city. Helpless, she could only prepare everything and ask Wang Jianmin and Fu Jian to make the trip.
Wang Jianmin had no objection to this, and Fu Jian was even more delighted with it.
He can go to the city to handle matters because the factory trusts him, and he feels he can learn a lot from there.
Seeing that they had already made arrangements, Fu Wan gave Zhang Xiaoqing the money she had specifically withdrawn when transferring funds to the shipyard.
"Keep this money for future use."
"Factory manager, so many?" Zhang Xiaoqing exclaimed in surprise.
"Not much, a total of five thousand yuan. It includes the expenses for registering for the trade fair, giving gifts, and the booth fee."
I can only come over in the next day or two. I'll give you the money now, and I have to go out to sea in a few days. I'm afraid you might need the money urgently and won't be able to find me.
Fu Wan replied with a smile that five thousand was really not much. The booth fee at the trade fair should be around one thousand, and Zhang Xiaoqing would have to ask someone to get a good spot. There were quite a few places where money was spent.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqing didn't say much and directly transferred the money to Zhou Haoran. Zhou Haoran was also a manager of the food factory, and she would always consult with him about anything.
"Director Zhou, please take a look at this money and make a note of it. If I need to use it later, I'll bring you the receipt to verify it."
Zhou Haoran responded. Their factory hadn't hired a cashier yet, so he was temporarily taking on the cashier's job.
Fortunately, there is still an accountant available. He only needs to manage the money and usually only needs to keep an eye on the production in the workshop. It's okay to replace him for a short period of time.
Fu Wan knew that they were all struggling, so she took out another thousand yuan from her bag.
"This is your bonus. There's no one else here, so you two can split it."
Zhou Haoran and Zhang Xiaoqing were stunned. There were only the three of them in the office at that moment. According to Fu Wan, that meant that each of them would receive a bonus of 500 yuan.
That's five hundred yuan, more than they earn in a year.
"Factory manager, we can't accept this."
"Yes, it's against the rules. We've only been working here for a short time, and besides, we're paid."
Fu Wan shook her head and placed the money directly on the table.
“Take what I give you. I know you’ve all had a tough time lately.”
Comrade Zhou deserves much credit for enabling those products to be produced so early, especially since the food factory had just started up.
Product pricing and sales orders were all achieved by you, Sister Zhang, running around to secure them one by one.
I saw everything. So this five hundred yuan is rightfully yours.
"If the results of the trade fair are good, I'll have even more bonuses waiting for you later."
After saying that, Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh. At that moment, she felt a bit like a capitalist who made empty promises in her previous life.
But these words sounded like a shot of adrenaline to Zhang Xiaoqing and Zhou Haoran.
"Factory manager, don't worry, with me keeping an eye on things, the trade fair will definitely be a success!"
"Yes, I will also keep a close eye on the factory's production results every day, and I will absolutely not allow any products that do not meet the production requirements to enter the market!"
With their assurances, Fu Wan felt at ease going to sea.
"That's good. I'll be going out to sea in a couple of days. If you have any issues, you can discuss them together first. If all else fails, you can go to the cannery and ask Uncle Wang for his opinion."
I'll be back from my sea voyage in three to five days at most. Oh, and I'll buy you a few more pagers later so we can keep in touch.
After giving these instructions, Fu Wan went to the cannery again.
Unlike the food factory, which is just starting to get on track, the cannery is bustling with activity.
Not only were the production lines at the old cannery bustling with activity, but the production lines at the new cannery, which was converted from the Liuxing Cannery, were just as busy.
Wang Jianmin was frowning as he studied a pile of documents when he saw Fu Wan come over. He immediately pulled her aside to make a decision.
"Factory manager, take a look. This is the Five Star Group's trademark that I had someone make. There are several of them, as well as canned food packaging. Take a look at them all."
After saying that, he couldn't help but pluck a handful of his newly grown hair. Hey, he had only followed Zhang Xiaoqing's advice and published a trademark submission request in the newspaper. He never expected to receive so many letters in just one week.
"The Five Star Group's trademark?"
Fu Wan sat down and casually opened the file bag that Wang Jianmin handed her.
This room is full of hand-drawn sketches, featuring various logos of the Five Star Group.
Fu Wan flipped through several pages but was not satisfied. Finally, her gaze settled on a drawing.
The main body of the trademark on the drawing is a very standard three-dimensional red five-pointed star. What attracted Fu Wan's attention was the shadow of smaller cans and various seafood products in the background of the five-pointed star.
"This picture is good, interesting!"
Fu Wan pointed to the picture and praised it, saying that the person who drew the picture must have known about their group, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to include elements of canned goods and seafood.
Moreover, this person's drawing skills are quite good; she draws all kinds of starfish and sea fish very lifelike.
"Isn't this too complicated?"
Wang Jianmin hesitated. He said that they could just use the previous icon, but Zhang Xiaoqing said it wasn't eye-catching enough.
Fu Wan, however, understood Zhang Xiaoqing's point: these days, there are many products on the street that contain five-pointed star elements.
To be remembered, you need to be unique.
Whether it's canned goods or snacks, the main target audience is young people or children, and a unique trademark is more likely to attract their attention.
Moreover, the message of this picture is also very good. They are able to live such a good life, catch good fish and shrimp, and make good products because there are many comrades wearing five-pointed stars protecting them.
"Uncle Wang, let's take this one!"
Wang Jianmin always listened to Fu Wan's words, and immediately took the drawing to write back to that comrade.
Fu Wan really liked this person's drawing style, and after thinking for a while, she gave him a few more instructions.
"Uncle Wang, please keep this person's contact information. We can cooperate more often in the future!"
Food factories and canneries produce a wide variety of products. According to Fu Wan, each product should have different packaging to make it easier for consumers to distinguish them.
"Why don't you ask her again if she's interested in coming to our factory? We can discuss salary and benefits."
The food factory and cannery both need to change their product packaging, so why not just poach people to draw up designs in the factory!
