Some new factories have moved into the Wahou market these days, including the Qingshan Shirt Factory, a leather shoe factory from Goudong, and an autumn clothing and trousers factory.
The leather shoe factory was introduced by Li Taixian. His uncle worked at the Goudong leather shoe factory. Wan Feng had bought leather shoes from him during the winter of the previous year.
The products of Goudong Leather Shoe Factory are mainly made of pigskin. There are not many styles and they are very rustic, so rustic that they are falling apart.
Wan Feng didn't know much about leather shoes. He had hardly worn them in his previous life.
He remembered that in his previous life, in the late 1980s, he bought a pair of leather shoes. His feet hurt after wearing them for several days before he got used to them. He didn't know whether his feet got used to the shoes or the shoes got used to his feet. Anyway, he never bought leather shoes again after that, even when soft leather shoes came out later, he never bought any.
Therefore, he did not pay much attention to the styles of leather shoes in his mind, but even so, he just drew the few styles of leather shoes that remained in his memory and gave them to the people in the shoe factory, and they were also amazed.
Unfortunately, the shoe factory with a rigid system did not adopt Wan Feng's shoe samples, because it was too troublesome to modify the equipment.
These shoe samples were cheap for the workers in the shoe factory. These workers secretly processed them and sold them very well. Among them was Li Taixian's relative.
He also asked Li Taixian to take the leather shoes he made to the Wahou Market to sell them. Almost as soon as they appeared, they were snapped up by merchants from all over the country.
Li Taixian's uncle later took a leave of absence from his job and opened a small factory at home specializing in making and selling leather shoes.
When the electronic watch market was not doing well, Li Taixian also started making and selling leather shoes, which eventually led to the flourishing of leather shoes making in Lifang.
But that’s all in the past.
At that time, almost all factory products looked like this, and the product style was old. Have they never thought about changing the style?
What a simple thing it is!
Even if you can't think of it, it's good to listen to other people's suggestions.
Wan Feng shook his head. The country should indeed change. Without change, it would be impossible to catch up with the developed Western countries.
Just like that autumn clothes and autumn trousers factory, you come out to sell autumn clothes and autumn trousers in this season, what are you trying to do? Can't you just make some sweaters and vests and sell them?
After a rush of construction, the hotel finally completed a two-story building. Wan Feng originally wanted to add another floor, but because he was in a hurry to use it, he had to cancel the plan temporarily.
The hotel that took more than two months to build gave Wan Feng an unreal feeling, as if in the blink of an eye or when he turned around, the building appeared opposite the machinery factory.
After a burst of firecrackers, Zhang Hai and the brigade secretary cut the ribbon and then delivered a few speeches.
The hotel is officially open.
A dozen female Communist Party members aged 17 or 18 were recruited from the Jiangwei Brigade and Pingshan Brigade, and they took up their posts after some simple training.
The waiters' salary is not high, only fifteen yuan, but the work is light.
The hotel only has twenty large dormitory rooms with 120 beds, and no single rooms.
There are more than a dozen tables in the hotel lobby, which can accommodate nearly two hundred people for dining at the same time.
Although there is still a shortage of beds in the hotel, this has greatly alleviated the accommodation problems of the vendors.
Zhang Hai also called on people with spare rooms at home to open family hotels, which would not only solve the accommodation problems of vendors but also generate income for their families.
Therefore, more than half of the families in Wahou have set aside a room or a house to entertain guests.
Wan Feng estimates that there will be a surge in house renovations after the depression this autumn.
Some families' houses will be redecorated, and some dilapidated buildings will be transformed to be suitable for living.
Some families even build new houses or wing rooms or gatehouses directly in the yard.
Because of the emergence of Wahou Market, not only the lives of the people in Wahou changed, but the concepts of people in the surrounding areas also began to change slowly.
Although the awareness of doing business has not yet been formed among the whole nation, many people have already seen some ways to get rich, and farming is no longer the only way out for farmers.
The first people to react were actually the housewives. They started selling some of their handmade items at the market and actually earned a considerable income.
These handicrafts include cloth shoes, gloves, coarse-knit cotton socks, embroidery, cloth bags and some handicrafts.
As for those selling chicken eggs and duck eggs, vegetables and fruits, they are everywhere.
While enriching the content of the market, it also brought them considerable income.
However, these people did not have the conditions to rent mobile homes, so Wan Feng allocated an idle area near the stream that was intended to be used as a parking lot to them as a local specialty trading area.
There are now several cars parked on the vacant land that was used as a parking lot after merchants moved into mobile homes.
But these cars are all government cars, from supply and marketing cooperatives or stores in other places. When this place is filled with passenger cars, it means that the market behind the depression will really take off.
In order to facilitate the unimpeded entry of vehicles from other places into Wahou in the future, Wan Feng strongly advocated that the team pay for the construction of the road that goes directly to Cuitun.
The road was paved with gravel from the market behind the mountain and covered with sand to create a spare kilometer.
Fortunately, it is only three miles from Wahou to Cuitun, and it didn’t cost much to build this road.
In the future, when the collective has accumulated a certain amount of savings, there must be a bridge over the Yina River. This road is the only shortest way to the national highway.
It's just a thought now.
Wan Feng was riding a motorcycle to the county town to look for someone, but was stopped by Zhang Hai when he passed by the team headquarters.
There was a man in his thirties next to Zhang Hai.
"This is the buyer from our county's agricultural machinery company. They want to sell us our tractors."
The buyer didn't know why Zhang Hai would ask a teenager and looked at Wan Feng in confusion.
"The County Agricultural Machinery Company wants to sell our tractors?"
The buyer nodded.
"If you want to sell, ask Manager Pan from your agricultural machinery company to come and talk. If he doesn't come, no one else is qualified to talk!" Wan Feng threw down these words and rode away on his motorcycle.
The buyer was puzzled. They asked their manager to come and talk to them? That was quite arrogant!
Wan Feng’s tone is indeed quite arrogant, but not as arrogant as Manager Pan. Last time, I begged you to sell it, but you gave me a sour face. Now you want to sell me a tractor?
Then just look at my face. If I act cool, I guarantee I’m no worse than you.
Now Wan Feng really doesn't care much about Hongya Agricultural Machinery Company. Without you, there wouldn't be a single tractor left. Without you, Hongya farmers can buy tractors directly from the factory and it's cheaper than buying them from the agricultural machinery company.
You are now just a piece of meat outside the egg.
