Director Wu's lips twitched.
Old fox.
This isn't free; it's clearly a hot potato.
He was too embarrassed to even mention asking for more money.
"Old Guo, you still need to go to the factory and talk to our designers about the gift boxes."
Secretary Guo was secretly delighted.
It's done.
Director Wu immediately took them to the cardboard box factory, and Minister Xu followed. When Minister Xu suggested that he go and take a look around, Director Wu glanced at him several times, his wary look clearly asking what he wanted to do.
Minister Xu smiled mysteriously.
"Keep it a secret."
The cardboard box factory was not as large as the grain factory, but it was still a state-owned factory.
Director Wu took them directly to the production workshop, where sorting workers were sitting and gluing boxes together.
"Director, what brings you here?"
When the production line foreman saw him coming, he immediately put down his work and ran over.
Director Wu was still carrying a gift box he had bought from the department store. "Can this be made?"
The line leader took the cardboard box and glanced at it. The paper cutting was lifelike, and the small flowers made from the fabric scraps were exquisite.
"Yes, but you'll need a paper-cutting expert."
Director Wu pondered for a moment, "Paper-cutting craftsmen, I'll think of a way. You make one first, and it needs to be more exquisite than this one."
The line leader nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Director Wu took Secretary Guo to his office to discuss the revenue from the cardboard boxes.
Director Wu also realized that Secretary Guo's goal was not just two or three hundred gift boxes; they wanted to expand the scale. Right now, it might just be a small-scale operation, but no one with ability should be underestimated.
Since he's accepted a bribe, he has to handle things properly.
The final price was 50 cents per gift box. Director Wu was a far-sighted person. He directly signed a long-term contract with Secretary Guo, and he also included the service of improvement. As long as they had any needs, they could just bring them up.
However, there is one issue: if the number of cardboard boxes is less than three thousand, they will need to haul them themselves.
Secretary Guo, of course, had no objection.
Back in Xiahe Village, the brigade leader's eyes widened at the sight of the six hundred yuan.
One hundred gift boxes sold for eight hundred yuan. In between, I went to the cardboard box factory and paid a deposit of two hundred yuan.
Nevertheless, the six hundred yuan still shocked the brigade leader quite a bit.
Dried vegetables in the village sell for a few cents or a dollar, with the most being a dozen dollars. This gift box costs eight dollars, and they made a hundred gift boxes in seven days. If they made a thousand or ten thousand, wouldn't Xiahe Village be rich?
The captain could barely speak properly.
He didn't even hear what the secretary said about expanding the scale; his mind was filled with images of large banknotes flying towards him.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned all the village leaders to discuss expanding the scale.
Qiao Wanyue is the village's communications officer.
It was also her suggestion to make mooncakes.
The captain asked her to express her opinion at the meeting.
Qiao Wanyue bumped into Secretary Guo on her way back.
They all felt that Xiahe Village couldn't rely on just a few acres of land for a living, and that it needed to vigorously develop sideline businesses.
The sideline businesses in Xiahe Village were also approved by the leaders, so they rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
Their first step was to scale up the production of mooncakes. Since they needed manpower, they transferred some people from the fields to participate in the production.
