Chapter 415 Lu Changzheng was promoted
On November 1st, Su Mo reported to the Investment Promotion Office. Su Mo found that more than half of the people there were transferred from the Foreign Trade Center.
It makes sense. The people in the Foreign Trade Center have been in contact with foreign businessmen all the time, so they have some connections and no language communication barriers. They naturally have an advantage over others in attracting investment.
At that time, it was during the trade fair, and the people in the Investment Promotion Office went all out to visit foreign businessmen or overseas Chinese they knew before to attract investment.
Because she had accumulated resources before, Su Mo immediately started working independently after reporting. She screened out the foreign businessmen who had been in contact with the clothing accessories industry before, and talked to them one by one.
Guangzhou's clothing industry did not start to flourish at the beginning of the reform and opening up, but after the "three-in-one" trade matured. It began to take shape around 1985 and began to flourish in the 1990s. At
that time, Guangdong Province was already a world processing factory, and a large number of foreign-processed clothing accessories flowed out of the factories and gradually took shape in Guangzhou.
What Su Mo wants to do now is to advance this process through her own efforts.
Now the clothing store seems to be doing well, but it is just a small business in Guangzhou. If you want to form a scale, you can't rely on a few small stores to do it. You have to attract big capital.
While the Investment Promotion Office was busy attracting investment, the media reported another exciting news.
Xiaogang Village, which signed the agreement to distribute land to households last year, has already harvested this year's grain in October. According to measurements, the total grain output this year is 66 tons, which is equivalent to the total grain output of the entire team from 1966 to 1970.
For a time, the household contract responsibility system was mentioned again and was hotly discussed across the country.
Families with sufficient labor force wished that the state would issue a document the next day to start "contracting production to households", while families with insufficient labor force or those who like to cheat and play tricks were opposed.
After all, in the brigade, even if you don't work much, there is always food per person, at least you won't starve to death. If the land is divided into your own hands, you will starve to death if you don't work for a day.
As a pioneer in reform, Guangdong Province was naturally eager to try out the new system. After discussion, the provincial leaders immediately selected several key cities and counties to try out the "household contract responsibility system" the following year. They would then decide whether to open up the whole province based on the output next year.
Although other provinces were not as aggressive as Guangdong Province, they were also conducting more or less trials, and the reform was slowly progressing.
After more than a month of hard work, Su Mo finally negotiated with two major clothing brands and persuaded them to agree to build factories in Guangzhou. At the same time, she also helped domestic garment factories to get several orders for processing by samples.
By then, some defective and surplus products that failed the inspection would flow into the Guangzhou market. With more things, the scale will naturally be formed, and those with a keen sense of smell will naturally come to Guangzhou.
Processing orders are easy to negotiate, but building a factory is not so easy. Just approving the land requires a long time of procedures.
Fortunately, the Su family has a service consulting company, and it was Su Mo who promised to find a company to help them with the procedures. Only then did the two clothing brands agree to build factories in Guangzhou.
After all the investments were negotiated and entered the implementation stage, Su Mo introduced Su Yiyuan to the two foreign businessmen, and packaged the procedures and factory construction to Su's service consulting company. They only had to come for acceptance at the time agreed in the contract.
It's not that Su Mo used her power for personal gain, but there were only a few companies of the same type, and even fewer that had the strength to guarantee the construction period. The investment was brought in by Su Mo, so she naturally chose her own company to feel at ease. After
the company opened, the business was not bad, and with the two large orders from Su Mo and the subsequent orders, the Su family bought another 5 trucks, and the transport team increased to 10 vehicles.
At the same time, a construction department was added, which temporarily focused on decoration and taking on small projects, and then slowly developed and expanded the scale.
At the end of December, Lu Changzheng also led his team back from the front line. The war came to an end, and some minor incidents could be dealt with by the local front-line troops.
Lu Changzheng and his men returned with merit and awards, and many of them were promoted. Lu Changzheng was also promoted from division commander to deputy army commander, and his salary was also increased a lot, to 252 yuan a month.
If the Su family had not done business, this salary would have been the highest, but after doing business, this was no longer a big deal.
With the reform and opening up, the income gap will become more and more obvious in the next few years. Although the country has also raised salaries several times, more and more people are resigning to start businesses.
