The captain felt confused when listening to Ruan Mianmian's words.
All his life, he either worked in the fields or took care of the trivial matters in the brigade. He really had no idea what kind of business he was in.
"Mianmian girl, how do you do this?" He knows when to plant rice and when to apply fertilizer. But he has no idea what to do with village-run enterprises.
Seeing that the team leader had no objection, Ruan Mianmian felt relieved. She was very afraid that the team leader would oppose it because it had nothing to do with agriculture. If that happened, all the arguments she prepared would be in vain.
"It's like this. To put it bluntly, village-run enterprises are like small workshops in the past. However, the small workshops in the past belonged to individuals. But village-run enterprises are led by the village, and the initial investment is also funded by the village, and the later profits are also shared by the villagers." Ruan Mianmian explained as simply as possible.
The captain nodded thoughtfully, "What should we do specifically? We villagers have neither the skills nor the technology. Can we do it?"
"Besides, people always say that if you live by the mountains, you can eat from the mountains; if you live by the water, you can eat from the water. Our Xiangyang Brigade has neither mountains nor water. What can we do?"
The mountain behind the village is where everyone collects firewood, and the village river is also where people wash clothes and fetch water. Whatever is there there can be used to set up a village-run enterprise.
If this can really be done, the villagers will be able to make money, and everyone's life will be better.
I am definitely excited, but I am also really confused.
Ruan Mianmian took out the hair accessory she had made earlier from her pocket and handed it to the captain, "Captain, take a look, this is what I made."
The captain took it and squinted his eyes for a long time in the dim light in the room before saying, "What is this? It looks like a flower that lesbians wear on their heads."
Ruan Mianmian nodded and said, "Yes, Captain. This is the head flower that female comrades wear. I think we can build a processing factory like this in our village. Making this thing does not require heavy labor, and women and the elderly at home can do it. This will not delay the work in the fields."
After hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, the captain, who had been full of expectations, suddenly felt a chill in his enthusiasm.
This thing can also be used as a workshop?!
Who would spend money to buy this thing if it is neither edible nor drinkable?
Seeing the change in the captain's expression, Ruan Mianmian was not angry.
The limitations of the times are not only isolation in time and space, but also in people's hearts.
A man like the team leader, who has been dealing with the land in the village all his life, cannot understand why a female comrade would be willing to spend money to buy a seemingly useless decoration.
In fact, it is not just the captain, nor is it just this era. Even decades later in the 21st century, there is still a group of people who cannot understand the meaning of women dressing up to please themselves.
Perhaps he felt that his attitude would hurt Ruan Mianmian, so the captain quickly adjusted his mentality and made himself look less disappointed. "Mianmian girl, will anyone buy this thing? This thing can neither be eaten nor drunk. Let's not talk about far away places. In our village, apart from the bride who can wear a flower on her head, have you ever seen anyone else wearing this kind of thing on her head?"
"Captain, this thing is not made to be sold in the village." Ruan Mianmian said with a smile, "These things are called handicrafts, and they are sold in the county town and the provincial capital. The bigger and more lively the place, the easier it is to sell this kind of thing."
Ruan Mianmian had originally planned to discuss the matter with the captain after she had tested the waters herself and got some results, but she didn't expect that Qian Wenjun's matter would come up.
Seeing the captain's expression, she really couldn't bear it. She wanted to tell the captain about the matter in advance, so that he could be relieved and divert his attention. She wanted to get things moving first.
Judging from Ding Rong's attitude, this thing will have no problem selling, but the county town is still too small, so the market will easily be saturated.
You can't always catch a sheep to fleece. Sooner or later, you'll fleece it all.
Just as she said, these things will sell better in bigger cities with more people.
At worst, she can go to the city or the province to promote her products.
She believed that what she made would not have trouble selling in this era. Even if things didn't work out, she still had the system space to back it up, so what was she afraid of?
"Mianmian girl, are you serious? You are not just kidding me?" The captain still didn't believe it.
"Of course. I can coax you now, but if the processing plant is really established and the products are to be sold to the outside world, I can still coax you then."
After hearing Ruan Mianmian's assurance, the captain somehow calmed down.
This girl is reliable in what she says and does. She was told before that she could make money by submitting articles, and she actually submitted them, more than once.
He had helped her get the remittance slip. She was probably the only one in the village who made money by writing.
Judging from her expression, the thing we are talking about now should be achievable.
If this little thing can really sell well as Miss Mianmian said, then the village will definitely change a lot.
Nowadays, everyone is so short of money that many things cannot be done without money. Not to mention big things like getting married and building a house, even eating and seeing a doctor can be difficult for a group of people.
"That's fine!" The captain patted his thigh as if he had made some kind of decision. "Tell me in detail what we should do about this matter?"
Ruan Mianmian was very happy to receive the recognition from the captain.
If you let a man like the team leader sit idle, he will immediately get sick. However, if you let him work, he can continue to work for at least another 30 years.
"Uncle Captain, for this matter, you have to first go to the leader of the commune and ask him to give our team the qualifications to run our own processing plant. Since we are going to do it, we must do it legally and reasonably. Then, hold a mobilization meeting in the village. We have to take out all the money that can be used in the village account, and we have to raise some more funds. Although the initial investment is not large, the money that should be spent still needs to be spent."
"Then, we need to clean up a house to use as a factory, and find people to train and start work. These are things that need to be done one by one. I can help contact my classmate here, and she happens to know someone who can provide raw materials. And I can also make this thing, so I will be the one to provide training when the time comes."
The captain felt better after listening to Ruan Mianmian's clear and logical words.
This Mianmian girl is really a capable girl. The people of the Ruan family are really blind.
