The food was ready, and Wang Guixiang and the others brought out the dishes one by one, making everyone drool.
There are mutton soup, braised fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, taro pork, all of which are hard dishes, and some vegetables.
There was not enough space in the house for so many tables, so they ate in the yard.
Qin's mother asked everyone to take their seats. There were five tables in total. The leaders of the army sat at one table, and the children sat at another table by themselves.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very well. Although the wind was very cold, everyone was very happy as they ate and chatted.
Lin Hao and his friends sat at a table by themselves, watching everyone chatting happily while they just focused on eating.
They have been working overtime for so many days in a row, so this trip out today can be considered a break.
After dinner, Shen Annian saw that there was still some mutton soup, so she packed some for Lin Hao and asked him to take it to the people in the cowshed.
Lin Hao was very touched. In early winter, she found a few old military coats and gave them to these old guys.
I have taken good care of them during this period, and the lives of those old friends have become much better.
"Director Shen, thank you so much."
"You are welcome."
Seeing Han Zhen about to leave, Shen Anyian stopped him and said, "Han Zhen, you have been in Hu City for so many years. Do you know anyone in the factory who you can talk to?"
When Han Zhen saw her like this, he knew that she was planning to take action against him.
"What are you going to do?"
"It's almost Chinese New Year, and I was thinking the factory would be distributing benefits. We have chickens and ducks in our camp, so we could just cooperate with them."
Han Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I can contact someone, but I can't guarantee that this will succeed."
"We're very grateful for your help in finding a way. As long as you can let us meet, we can discuss the rest ourselves."
"Okay, I'll call him now."
"Now?"
Han Zhen glanced at her sideways, "Why, you're not in a hurry?"
"Okay, go make the call."
Han Zhen went into the living room and called Ji Zeyang.
He has a brother-in-law who happens to be the director of a pharmaceutical factory in Hu City and can help.
Ji Zeyang was very surprised when he received a call from Han Zhen.
This guy has rarely contacted them since he entered the research institute.
Now that she had called him specifically to ask for help, he agreed without hesitation.
He had heard his sister complain about this, saying it was difficult to get factory benefits.
We are now implementing a planned economy, and supplies are limited. Even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy things.
All the big factories in Hu City are trying their best to negotiate with department stores in order to get better Spring Festival benefits.
If the workers could have chickens and ducks as welfare, they would definitely be happy.
In addition to pharmaceutical factories, there are so many factories in Hu City, and they also need to distribute New Year benefits.
The New Year is coming soon, and he happens to be short of money. Maybe he can make a small fortune with this.
Of course, this requires that the person who comes to discuss business is bold enough.
After getting Ji Zeyang's approval, Han Zhen went to tell Shen Annian the good news.
Shen Annian was relieved when he knew that he had found Ji Zeyang.
Since he can ask his childhood friend for help, this matter can definitely be settled.
“I just made an agreement with Ayang, you should go find him when the time comes.
If you listen to him, then by then, not to mention one pharmaceutical factory, even taking over half of the factories in Hu City won’t be a problem.”
This was Shen Annian's original idea. It would be even better if someone he knew could introduce him.
"He knows so many people?"
Han Zhen smiled and said, "That's impossible, but if he can make money, he will get in touch with them."
Ji Zeyang has a problem, he likes to make money.
He had enough food and drink at home, but he racked his brains to make money secretly and often went to the black market.
Of course, this was kept secret from his family, but all his childhood friends knew about it.
Shen Annian heard his hidden meaning and said, "You mean, he wants a commission?"
"I don't know about that. You have to discuss it yourselves."
Shen Annian nodded and said, "I will have a good talk with him."
There are so many factories in Hu City. Even if they can take up a small half of the ordering channels, the food factories in groups will have no worries about sales in the future.
Even if he takes a cut, it's worth it.
Captain Shen was still drinking with Commander Ye. He mentioned the idea of setting up a factory at the dinner table and wanted to borrow money from the Third Regiment to buy machines.
They plan to buy a canning machine and make a batch of canned food during the Chinese New Year.
Director Fang was listening nearby and knew that this was Shen Annian's idea.
If it weren't for her, Captain Shen would never have thought of taking out a loan to buy the machine.
He looked at Brigade Commander Zhou, wanting to see what he thought.
Brigade Commander Zhou thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"
Captain Shen gestured a number with his hands, and Director Fang almost jumped up.
Two hundred thousand, why don’t they just rob it?
“Captain Shen, you guys are asking for 200,000 yuan right away. Where are we going to get that much money?”
Captain Shen glanced at them fiercely, "Don't lie to me, even though our two regiments are far apart, I have heard about your affairs.
Your wine, clothes and shoes have all been sold to the Soviet Union. You must have made a lot of money.
And you have sold a lot of fabrics and shoes, so you are out of money.
Lao Fang, we are all brothers in the army. You eat meat every day, but you don’t intend to help our brothers.”
"But two hundred thousand is too much. Can a canning machine cost that much?"
"I sent someone to inquire, and it really costs that much. This is the lowest price we've negotiated."
