Jiang Tang came to the Organization Department to see Political Commissar Li that day, mainly to ask if anyone from their province was participating in the Canton Fair this year.
When Li Zhengmin heard what she meant, he thought it was unrealistic: "Your commune only produces agricultural products. Even if you have tea, the production volume is not high. How can you compare with the ones in the south?"
"Political Commissar Li, there are tens of millions of varieties of tea. Even the same tea can taste very different if prepared differently. You've tried our Zhangshan black tea before. Its flavor is definitely no worse than those famous teas from the south. What we lack is fame."
I want to participate in the Canton Fair this time to promote the reputation of our black tea.
Also, the products with the highest output in our commune right now are vermicelli and bean curd sheets.
If we can sell it this time, it is not impossible for our commune's main business to develop in this direction in the future.
Also, the brown sugar from Shaluo Village uses an ancient recipe. Our method is different from other factories. Foreign investors now prefer our country's traditional recipe. While our brown sugar production isn't large, we can easily earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in foreign exchange.
"This kind of thing is not as simple as before when you were selling us some vegetables. You are dealing with foreign merchants who have seen a lot of the market.
Some of the products they want may not even be available from some large factories. How can a small commune like yours compare with the best factories in the country? First of all, the scale and hygiene are not up to standard."
"Uncle Li, first of all, the hygiene of every business in our commune is strictly controlled. Whether it's making vermicelli or brown sugar, I require everyone to wear masks and gloves. And for storage, they are also hung in the air. There are more than a dozen 'enrolled' cats guarding the warehouse to ensure that not even a mouse can get in.
Also, foreign businessmen have seen the world, but your niece is not bad either.
First, I have sales experience. Second, I speak English and have no problem conversing. Furthermore, my best friend, a former newspaper colleague of mine who's now in the translation department, emailed me many successful case studies from previous years at the Canton Fair. My theoretical experience is no problem, and if you give me a chance, I'll definitely show you my practical experience.
I've taken a look at our products, and if we go to the Canton Fair, my goal is to secure orders worth 500,000 yuan."
"Five hundred thousand?" Li Zhengmin was surprised and wanted to laugh.
I was surprised at her courage and laughed at her naivety.
"Uncle Li, what I said is true, I can assure you."
"You should just call me Political Commissar Li. I can't handle your Uncle Li."
"Oh, Uncle Li, no one from our province is participating in the Canton Fair this year? Bringing one is the same as bringing two."
"There are quite a few participating this year, including the First Textile Factory, the Red Star Machinery Factory, and even the garment factory. They're all provincial factories, and no factory in the county participated."
"There are always exceptions to everything. If there's a first, there's a second. Our commune can be the first to do this."
Li Zhengmin had been pestered by her for an hour, and he had no choice but to say, "First, write down the products you will be attending the meeting and their advantages and disadvantages. Give it to me, and I'll set up a meeting to discuss it."
"Okay, Uncle Li, I already wrote it before I came here. I'll keep it for you."
Li Zhengmin saw her take out a neatly arranged document from her bag. It looked quite thick. He smiled helplessly and said, "Girl, you really have considered everything. I feel like I would feel guilty if I didn't let you go with me."
Jiang Tang laughed brightly, then took out two big, red peaches from her bag and placed them on his desk. "Uncle Li, you've worked hard. For that damned sense of guilt, you must help me fight for it. These are peaches from Liulin Village. The peaches from their village taste especially good. I won't bother Uncle Li for now. I'll come back the day after tomorrow."
Although he didn't get a positive answer, Jiang Tang didn't think it was a big problem.
When He Yan came back in the afternoon, Jiang Tang threw herself into his arms and asked, "Hubby, I want to ask you something."
After a few months of marriage, He Yan has become accustomed to her impetuous behavior. When there are no elders at home and the door is closed, Jiang Tang likes to hug her like this.
He also likes this: "What's the matter?"
"Is your factory going to the Canton Fair this year?"
He Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "How did you know? We just informed you too."
"I went to the Organization Department today. Political Commissar Li told me about it, and I plan to attend."
"Your commune?"
"Well, if it works, husband, we can travel together this time."
He Yan scratched her nose and said, "I'm going on a business trip, not for fun, and the factory may not send me."
"Ah, let's try. Who have you sent in the past?"
"I've never participated in one before. This time, my master and I developed a new machine model. We are the only one in the country, so we wanted to promote it at the Canton Fair."
"If what you and Mr. Zhong developed is sold, there will definitely need to be a technician to assist and provide guidance. I think your factory will definitely send you to do that."
"I haven't heard that your commune is going to participate in the Canton Fair before. What will you sell there? Agricultural products?"
"Why? You look down on agricultural products?"
"No, no, I think as long as my wife is around, you can sell anything."
Jiang Tang gave him a tsundere look and said, "Huh, of course, hubby, I'm hungry."
"What do you want to eat?"
"I don't want you to work so hard cooking every day, let's go out to eat today."
