Since she's taken on this project, she wants to build a company that can stand for a hundred years.
Innovation is important, but so is warmth.
"Wanyue, Wanyue, come out quickly!" Secretary Guo rushed in in a panic.
Qiao Wanyue was writing about seasonings while hunched over her desk.
She looked up. "What's wrong?"
Secretary Guo was holding a sack that looked like money. "Guess how much money we made this time?"
Qiao Wanyue thought for a moment.
They made 300 jin of mooncakes and about 500 jin of pastries this time. The gift boxes cost nine yuan each, and the pastries were about three yuan per jin, so the total cost was about 5,000 yuan.
Her eyes darted around, deliberately teasing Secretary Guo, "A thousand yuan?"
Secretary Guo, "Guess again, be bolder."
"One thousand and five?"
Secretary Guo looked at her with disdain, picked up the sack and slammed it onto the table. "Five thousand, a full five thousand yuan."
Secretary Guo has gone mad.
He was ecstatic.
Qiao Wanyue feigned surprise and said, "So many."
Seeing that she was just as surprised as he was, Secretary Guo pretended to be reserved and said, "I had already thought of that. With so many orders this time, we can earn more than two thousand after deducting the profit. We are very close to our goal of building a factory."
Qiao Wanyue thought to herself, "It's not that easy."
A foreign machine costs tens of thousands of yuan, while a domestically produced machine costs several thousand yuan.
Not to mention all the paperwork and documentation required, the commune leaders set a target of 30,000 only because they knew the commune leaders couldn't achieve it.
Qiao Wanyue thought for a moment, "Secretary, do you know any friends in the province or in Beijing?"
Secretary Guo didn't quite understand what she meant.
But I know Qiao Wanyue will definitely be useful.
He calmed down and thought about it carefully. "My sister-in-law's older brother works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and my sister's husband's family is based in Beijing and has some influence."
Qiao Wanyue wrote down the names of several machines on a piece of paper.
"Secretary, could you please ask if these two machines are available for purchase?"
"Also, you should go to the leaders in advance to apply for a 50-mu plot of farmland at the border of Xiahe Village and the town."
Secretary Guo felt it would be difficult.
Farmland is the most precious resource now; how could it be given away so easily?
Qiao Wanyue said, "If we get things done now, we won't refuse when we ask the leader for approval at the end of the year."
Secretary Guo, "Didn't the leaders say they would help us?"
Secretary Guo fantasized that the commune would provide them with machinery and facilities.
She said slowly, "From the time we set up the workshop to the time we sold the products, did the commune give us a single penny in reward?"
Guo Yushu twitched his lips.
There was nothing but moral praise.
He also paid a lot of money to the commune!
Secretary Guo understood immediately. "I need to write a letter home these next few days. I'll write it tonight and have my child mail it tomorrow."
Qiao Wanyue nodded.
The net profit at the end of the year will definitely reach 30,000.
We need to finalize the factory's location now, so that the leaders won't have a chance to change their minds later.
Secretary Guo glanced at the several kinds of dried fish on her table. Xiahe Village is close to the river, and the children love to catch fish in the summer. Since there aren't many fish, they don't have to hand them in.
