After some bargaining, Shen Yunshu got it for one cent each.
During this negotiation, Wang Minghai changed from his initial perfunctory disdain to appreciation. He was eager to retain the talent and said:
"Does Shen Zhiqing want to stay in the factory to work? If so, I invite Shen Zhiqing to work in our factory. Although it is a temporary worker, the treatment is the same as that of a regular worker."
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Wang, but I can't do the work in the printing factory."
Facing Shen Yunshu's rejection, Wang Minghai felt a little sorry. Seeing her firm attitude, he didn't say anything to keep her.
Coming out of the printing factory, Secretary Ma said, "A job at the printing factory is something others would beg for, and you just turned it down. Won't you regret it?"
Shen Yunshu shook his head: “No regrets.”
Compared to the factory life that goes from one place to another, Shen Yunshu prefers dealing with the land.
“Shen Zhiqing, I didn’t make a mistake. The Red Flag Brigade is lucky to have a educated youth like you.”
Secretary Ma's eyes were filled with admiration for Shen Yunshu. In the face of huge temptation, she remained unmoved. She was a person who could accomplish great things.
"Secretary Ma, you're joking. Everything I've done is insignificant. The most important thing is the wise leadership of our captain."
Shen Yunshu's humility once again made Secretary Ma look at her with admiration. It was not easy for her to have such a character at such a young age.
Before the two parted, Secretary Ma said, "Shen Zhiqing, work hard. I have high hopes for you. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to the commune and find me."
Shen Yunshu didn't expect that he could gain so much from today's trip, and quickly expressed his gratitude to him.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. What she needs to do now is to open up sales for the vermicelli of the Hongqi Brigade. However, there will always be a day when she will leave, and it is impossible for her to stay in the Hongqi Brigade forever.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish. Shen Yunshu selected several aunts who were good at speaking from the team, including Chen Fengying, who was on good terms with her.
After a week of devilish training, the aunts have been transformed. When it comes to vermicelli, they are very knowledgeable and their professional skills are top-notch.
Shen Yunshu was very satisfied with this, but clothes make the man, and if the aunts went to discuss business with others in such tattered clothes, they would probably be sent away before they even met the person.
So, Shen Yunshu picked out two pieces of cloth from the space and asked several of the best dressmakers in the team to work overnight to make the clothes. Naturally, the bill was paid to the public.
When the aunts put on their new clothes, they looked like completely transformed people.
Mrs. Li was so excited when she put on new clothes for the first time that she didn't know where to put her hands, for fear of getting the clothes dirty. Looking at herself in the mirror, she suddenly cried out of joy.
Everyone was shocked and hurried to comfort her.
After calming down, Sister Li said embarrassedly, "This is the first time I wear such nice clothes... I... I'm happy..."
When the other chattering people heard this, they suddenly fell silent.
Their situation was similar to that of Mrs. Li. In this famine-stricken era when people were hungry every day, how could they have any extra money to buy themselves new clothes?
Even if there is extra money and cloth, it will be given to the men in the family.
They had to eat less and work more. If they hadn't met Shen Zhiqing by chance, they would probably never have been able to wear such beautiful new clothes until they died.
Shen Zhiqing also said that women are no worse than men and that women can hold up half the sky. Because of this job, their status in the family has obviously improved, and the men in the family are more understanding than before.
The aunts were grateful to Shen Yunshu from the bottom of their hearts.
When Shen Yunshu saw them looking at her, tears flashed in her eyes. She was afraid that she would be unable to resist, so she quickly spoke:
"Don't cry, crying is unlucky. As long as everyone works hard and does their best, I promise you that our lives will get better and better in the future."
In addition to the basic salary, they get a 1% commission for selling vermicelli. The vermicelli market is relatively large during the planning period. As long as they work hard, the money they will receive at the end of the year will be no less than that of working.
“Shen Zhiqing, don’t worry, we will do our best and will not let you down.”
"I'm not fighting for bread, I'm fighting for my dignity. This time I must let my husband know that I can live without him, so that he won't have to grumble all day about who has a better wife than me..."
…………
Supply and marketing cooperatives, canteens of major factories... these are all potential customers, and Shen Yunshu shared all his sales experience from his previous life with them.
The next day, a group of female salespeople, represented by Chen Fengying, went out to develop clients in ox carts, watched by the entire team.
"Chen Zhiqing, do you think they can do it?" Du Shouquan felt a little unsure.
"How do you know if it will work if you don't try? Captain, you have to have confidence in the aunts. They will definitely be able to do it."
"With your words, I feel at ease."
Vermicelli processing benefits the entire team. When they went to work today, everyone was absent-minded. Until Chen Fengying and several other aunts came back in a ox cart, the team members, who couldn't wait any longer, dropped the work at hand and ran out.
Wang Ernao asked impatiently, "Chen Fengying, how are the vermicelli sales? I'm still waiting to get married."
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly eased, and everyone burst into laughter at Wang Ernao's words.
Chen Fengying teased, "Do your job well, and I'll definitely let you get married next year."
"Really?" Wang Ernao's eyes burst into great surprise.
"It couldn't be more true. You don't know how popular our brigade's sweet potato vermicelli is. I'm going to the steel mill today..."
