Xu Xiangyang felt somewhat helpless upon hearing his words.
Since he brought it up, wasn't he trying to solve the problem?
As a result, Master Sun's reaction was too strong, leaving him speechless!
"Master Sun, aren't we just discussing this? Your reaction is way too much." His tone was tinged with helplessness.
Master Sun sighed and said, "I know, things may seem a bit better outside now, but nothing has really changed. Especially in terms of supply, it's just as tight."
Not only are supplies limited to individual factories, but even households in the city face the same situation.
So it's not that Mr. Sun doesn't want to buy things, but that he really doesn't have good channels.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and said, "This is indeed a bit troublesome, but does the pig farm have any quotas? Half a pig a month would be fine."
They only have a quota of 50 jin per month now, and it's strictly controlled.
If you want to buy more meat, you'll have to go to a pig farm.
Master Sun shook his head. "It won't work. I asked last time, but the farm manager is too tight-lipped. He won't budge an inch."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang remained silent and lowered his head in deep thought.
At this time, pig farming was limited, and besides the survival rate, connections were even more important.
After thinking it over, he decided to make the trip anyway, since there was no other way at the moment.
After breakfast, Xu Xiangyang drove directly to the pig farm, which was built on vacant land in the suburbs.
After all, raising pigs produces a lot of odor, and people living nearby can't stand it.
One or two pigs would smell terrible. How many pigs does a pig farm need? That's no small number.
Upon arrival, he went to the farm manager's office.
The manager of the pig farm was a man in his fifties, a bit bald, and with a protruding belly.
He's only a little over 1.5 meters tall, but he looks really greasy.
This must be a really lucrative job, otherwise how could he afford to eat like this?
"Director Yu, hello, I'm Xu Xiangyang, the director of the garment factory." Xu Xiangyang greeted him as he entered.
Although the secretary must have informed me beforehand, I still need to introduce myself to make a better impression.
With a smile on his face, Director Yu said, "Hello, Director Xu, please come in and have a seat."
Looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Director Xu is really young and promising! He's become a factory director at such a young age."
The words were words of praise, but he had his doubts.
I had met Xu Xiangyang a few times before, and I saw that he was very close to Liao Shichang.
I also heard that Xu Xiangyang's job was recommended by Liao Shichang.
So, he thought to himself that the two must be related, otherwise how could he become the factory director at such a young age?
Xu Xiangyang waved his hand and said, "No, there's still a lot I need to learn."
He should still be humble, even though he knows he's smart, capable, handsome, and charming...
But after all, he came here on business, not to show off.
Director Yu nodded and asked, "Director Xu, what brings you here this time?"
They had no business dealings with each other, which is why they were a little confused.
Could it be that Xu Xiangyang wants to catch a piglet and raise it?
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "That's right, our factory recently hired a batch of workers, and we really don't have enough pork to eat."
“You say we all work like our lives depend on it, how can we let the workers not eat well? Health is the foundation of life. So, I came here this time to ask Manager Yu if we could get half a pig every month?”
Ultimately, it was due to inadequate planning and a severe shortage of supplies.
Otherwise, why would a factory travel so far to beg someone for half a pig?
Upon hearing this, Director Yu looked somewhat troubled.
It's really a difficult situation.
Xu Xiangyang wasn't the first to come; factories come every month to coordinate.
But there are only so many pigs, and any extras are countable.
Who do you think should receive it, and who shouldn't?
If you give it to him, others will hear the news and come to ask for it too.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot agree, and he should refuse completely.
"Director Xu, as you know, we have a limit on the number of pigs we raise. Apart from the extra pigs we raise to prevent swine fever, we don't have any extras."
"Even so, it's good if a little over a thousand are left each year."
Director Yu looked utterly helpless; there was simply nothing he could do.
Besides, many people are eyeing these pigs now; it's not that he's unwilling to give them up.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang understood what was going on. There were extra pigs, but there were already quite a few pre-orders.
But he couldn't have come for nothing, so he smiled and said, "Director Yu, I know your difficulties. Don't worry, as long as you agree, I will definitely not tell anyone about this."
How many times have I heard Director Yu say this? But he just won't listen, no matter what I say.
But before he could speak, Xu Xiangyang spoke again.
"Director Yu, I won't make things difficult for you. How about this, I still have quite a few things on hand, take a look, let's exchange them."
After saying that, he took out a cloth bag containing bicycle tickets and sewing machine tickets.
These are all difficult-to-handle items, but they're perfect for the factory's regular employee benefits.
They all come from the black market, and their factory also has them, so they're not afraid of being found out.
Upon seeing these things, Director Yu's expression softened, though he remained hesitant.
There's nothing they can do; their pig farm has plenty of food, but they lack these kinds of things.
The subsidies and rewards given to workers are usually nothing special.
You can't expect someone to carry a sack of corn or share a piece of pork, can you? That won't do.
Seeing that he had an idea, Xu Xiangyang continued, "Director Yu, everyone is getting what they need. You see, our factory doesn't need these benefits, but you do."
"Besides, it would be a waste not to use this ticket, right? No matter how you divide it, you can still spare half a pig, right?"
Having said that, Director Yu smiled and said, "Director Xu, you really do know our situation."
He knew that Xu Xiangyang must have done some investigation, otherwise how would he know what they were lacking?
However, it is indeed necessary, so keeping it is fine.
Xu Xiangyang smiled without saying anything. It wouldn't be good to talk about this kind of thing frankly. It's enough that everyone understands what's going on.
This time, Manager Yu readily agreed. In any case, they needed to provide benefits to their employees in the middle of the year anyway, so it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Xu Xiangyang also assured him that if there were any more tickets in the future, he would definitely send them to him.
He felt particularly relieved after paying the deposit and leaving the pig farm.
Now we've finally resolved a major issue!
The garment factory recently hired another 200 workers; surely they'll have food to eat?
Everyone can see the state of the factory; the profits have always been good. But if the food isn't up to par, what will others think?
Xu Xiangyang didn't think much of it at first, but then he thought that if the employees ate well, their workload would definitely increase.
Everyone hopes to eat well and sleep well. These days, everyone hopes for that; no one is an exception.
He will definitely try his best to solve any problems that can be solved.
That way, everyone will be more dedicated to their work!
