"Wuzhou Glass Factory!"
"It's definitely worth a try."
"Perhaps, there will be an unexpected surprise!"
"Dry!"
Reminded by the chubby chef Lao Song, Lin Sen's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand excitedly.
Already full of enthusiasm, he made up his mind instantly.
Wuzhou City is located next to Linhai County, which belongs to Ningbo City and borders the Yellow Sea. Wuzhou City, on the other hand, is an inland city.
Although there is some distance between the two sides, there is a county in between.
However, since they are all located in the Jiangnan region, it's not considered too far away.
All things considered, it's only about 200 kilometers at most, and takes four or five hours by car.
Despite some setbacks, for Lin Sen, this distance and these difficulties were not too much of a problem in order to get the brewery up and running.
Lin Sen can overcome this!
It's only a little over 200 kilometers, not over 2,000 kilometers.
At most, it'll just cost extra for shipping!
Otherwise, the factory has been rented, the workers have been recruited, the machinery has been purchased, and the raw materials have been bought.
If the brewery couldn't open because it didn't have glass beer bottles, it would never have been able to open.
Then all of Lin Sen's efforts would have been in vain?
What a joke! This is something Lin Sen absolutely cannot accept!
"Economically, Wucheng is actually a bit worse than Yongcheng. After all, Yongcheng, which is under the jurisdiction of Linhai County, is a coastal city, and it is also close to Ninghai, a municipality directly under the central government. It is heavily influenced by Ninghai, so its light industry and shipping industry are well-developed and its economy is very good."
"But Wucheng ham, and the film and television city that was built in recent years, are still very famous."
"Tourism is great!"
"So in the future, my beer could also enter Wucheng and Ninghai!"
"Dry!"
With this in mind, Lin Sen made up his mind completely.
"Brother Song, how much do you know about the Wucheng Glass Factory?"
Lin Sen looked directly at the fat chef, Lao Song, with a burning gaze and great excitement.
"ah?"
"this."
Under Lin Sen's very serious gaze, the fat chef Lao Song scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: "Brother Lin Sen, I really don't know much about this."
“I knew it; Wucheng Glass Factory was a state-owned factory.”
"I've heard that the business situation hasn't been very optimistic in recent years."
"I heard it from a distant relative."
“He’s from Wucheng. He visited our Linhai County before and mentioned him a few times.”
"They say it's our Linhai County glass factory, and it's taken away a lot of business from the Wucheng glass factory."
Old Song looked at Lin Sen and said, "Brother Lin Sen, I don't know anything else."
"State-owned factory".
"The business situation is not optimistic."
"I see."
Lin Sen nodded slightly, already having a general idea of the situation at the Wucheng Glass Factory.
With the exception of some special factories, after entering the 1980s, with the impact of private factories, most state-owned factories that relied on the "iron rice bowl" system experienced a severe decline in orders and began to decline.
The working class, which was originally powerful, has become unable to pay wages.
Finally, in the 1990s, I was about to be promoted to deputy team leader when the leader made a statement: "If I don't get laid off, who will?"
"In the 1980s, most state-owned factories, although not doing well, were still able to survive."
"After all, it was early days of reform and opening up, and there weren't many businessmen who dared to embezzle state-owned assets, deliberately fail to pay wages, and then acquire state-owned factories at low prices."
"Give it a try!"
Thinking of this, Lin Sen became even more motivated.
"Brother Song, I need your help with something."
Therefore, Lin Sen looked directly at Lao Song.
"Brother Lin Sen, what's on your mind?"
Old Song immediately grinned and said, "As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely do it for you."
"I need to go to Wuzhou City immediately; I don't have time to go home."
"So since you don't have anything else to do, could you please go to Haiwan Village and tell my family that I've gone to Wuzhou City?"
"I'll be back in a few days."
"Tell them not to worry!"
In 1984, mobile phones hadn't been invented yet, and pagers had just entered the country and weren't widespread. So at that time, people either made landline calls, wrote letters, or spread the word by word.
Lin Sen's family didn't have a landline phone, so he didn't have the opportunity to make a call.
Therefore, he could only ask Lao Song to convey the message.
"Okay."
"Leave this to me, don't worry!"
After Lin Sen finished speaking, the fat chef Lao Song immediately patted his chest and made a promise to Lin Sen.
After all, it's just passing on a message, no big deal!
"OK."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Song!"
After saying a few words to the chubby chef Lao Song, Lin Sen immediately spurred his bicycle and rushed to Linhai County Railway Station.
There are direct trains from Linhai County Railway Station to Wuzhou City.
It will only take four hours to get there!
It's cheaper than a car, and it's also more comfortable to ride in.
Unless he drives himself or takes a Toyota Coaster or a Mercedes-Benz van, Lin Sen prefers to take the train.
After all, the roads were difficult to travel in the 1980s, especially after leaving the city.
The road is full of potholes, and if you're unlucky, you might even encounter a landslide, which could block the road for several days.
Furthermore, you'll often encounter highway robberies!
That's right, it's highway robbery!
This is something that is virtually unheard of in later generations, and people would never even imagine it. In the 1980s, however, it was actually quite common and rampant!
