Chapter 397: Those People and Things in My Hometown
In just two years, Fenghua Textile Factory had changed. There was even a recruitment notice posted at the door, and the scene of huge crowds of people coming to sign up was no longer there.
The guard was still the same guard. When he saw that Su Jiaojiao came by car, he didn't ask any questions and just let her drive the car into the yard.
Before Su Jiaojiao came, she called Li Mingrui. He said he was in the office and asked Su Jiaojiao to go directly to the office to find him.
The office was sparsely populated, some still not at work, and the workshop was quiet. Li Mingrui took her to the fabric sample room. "We plan to start work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I'm on duty today. Talk to me directly about the fabrics you want. I can decide the price."
After choosing the fabric, the two returned to the office. Li Mingrui was much thinner than before and lacked his previous spirit. He told Su Jiaojiao, "Fenghua Textile Factory will move out next year at the latest. They haven't decided where to move to yet, but it's likely not in Qingyuan."
"Are you going with us?" Su Jiaojiao was not surprised at all. In order to introduce foreign-funded enterprises and solve the employment problem of local labor, Qingyuan City has many preferential policies for them. One of them is a three-year tax exemption, which is very attractive to them.
Many foreign-funded enterprises have benefited from this tax-free policy, but after one to three years, they will try to move away. This has become a common occurrence.
As far as Su Jiaojiao knew, the tax exemption policy enjoyed by Fenghua Textile Factory should have lasted for more than three years, otherwise they would have moved away long ago.
"It depends. I think so." Li Mingrui watched Su Jiaojiao drive over. Knowing that she had done well in the past two years, he asked about the textile factory in the capital. "I guess the land there is very expensive. Building a factory would require a considerable amount of capital, unless there are preferential policies in the local area."
"I'm not sure about that." Different fields have different worlds, and Su Jiaojiao really didn't know. She didn't want to chat about this with Li Mingrui, so she got back to the point and finalized the quantity and the specific delivery date with him, and signed a supply agreement.
Fenghua Textile Factory has always had business dealings with Qimei and they are very familiar with each other. Although the price is a little higher, Su Jiaojiao is still willing to use their fabrics.
The main reason is that they are close to each other and convenient for each other. The other thing is that it can relieve her financial pressure. Most of her funds are now spent on this batch of floral shirts, and she has no more funds to invest in baseball uniforms.
The processing fee for jeans in Mocheng was just settled before the New Year. In order to ensure a continuous supply, she put 50,000 pairs of jeans into production in advance and paid 30% of the processing fee in advance. Now she is short of money.
There was no rush for this batch of jeans; she just asked Xue Yuzhen to ship the goods to her within half a year.
Su Jiaojiao asked Cai Ting to go to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month and stay in Mocheng for two days to see if there were any problems that needed to be solved on Xue Yuzhen's side, and then come back to meet her. After the Lantern Festival, she planned to return to the capital.
Wudaokou officially opens on the 16th day of the first lunar month. It doesn't matter if they open two days late. Whether they make money or not, these two days don't matter.
As long as she can sort out the production of baseball uniforms, she will have successfully completed her work plan in Jiao County.
As they were chatting, Chen Mei walked in. She was a little fatter than before, and no longer had the sharp edge she once had. When she saw Su Jiaojiao, she was very surprised: "Jiaojiao, how come you have time to come here?"
"I came to take a look at the fabrics." Su Jiaojiao smiled. She didn't go to her uncle's house after the winter vacation. When she came back, she saw Chen Jiang alone. Her uncles didn't come to visit, and their house was much quieter than before.
"Our Pepper is still so capable." Chen Mei sat down, looked Su Pepper up and down, and said with emotion, "It's better not to be married. After getting married and having children, you won't be so free. I only went home on the fourth day of the New Year and left after dinner. Your second sister didn't go back. She's about to give birth and has a cold, so she can't go back and forth."
Chen Mei was surprised to find that Su Jiaojiao looked even more beautiful than before. She had fair skin, a slender figure, a black short cotton-padded jacket, purple wide-leg pants, and diamond-studded leather shoes on her feet. She looked fashionable and stylish, and no longer dressed like a country girl.
Su Jiaojiao just smiled.
Getting married has its advantages, and not getting married has its troubles. Everything has two sides, it just depends on what you need.
Everything that needed to be discussed was finished, and she didn't want to chat with Chen Mei here, so she said she had something else to do and went back first, asking Li Mingrui to ship the goods to her as soon as possible.
Li Mingrui said he would order the goods now and send them to her tomorrow. He gave Su Jiaojiao a piece of cloth and asked her to make a sample first.
Su Jiaojiao returned to Qi Mei and went to find Su Cuicui with the cloth.
Su Cuicui is now the backbone of the technical department. She has already printed out the sample and found the auxiliary materials.
Two samples were cut from this piece of cloth. Su Jiaojiao said she would give one to Su Cuicui. Su Cuicui was very happy: "I knew you treated me like a sister."
"You are my sister." To be honest, Su Jiaojiao's feelings for Su Cuicui are average, and she is not as close to Chen Juan.
Su Houde and Feng Yuefen were not kind to her and her mother, and they were always coveting their house.
Feng Yuefen felt that their house should be left to Su Jinbao instead of her, saying that she would get married sooner or later and the house would become someone else's.
Although these things had nothing to do with Su Cuicui, Su Jiaojiao couldn't treat her as completely without any grudges as she did with Chen Juan.
With this little bit of family ties, there is no problem working together.
Su Cuicui was young after all, and didn't have much cunning. She took the cut samples, avoided Gao Meifeng's workshop, and led Su Jiaojiao to the fourth floor technical department. She sewed samples with Su Jiaojiao face to face: "Your father and that woman rarely come here, so we just have a chance to talk."
There are also sewing machines in the technical department, but they are not used often.
The sewing machine, which is not used often, makes the sewing process a bit rough. Su Cuicui poured machine oil on the sewing thread, and the effect was much better.
Su Jiaojiao reminded Su Cuicui to use less engine oil during production, otherwise the finished product would smell like engine oil.
Su Cuicui chuckled: "Boss, you misunderstood. Engine oil also costs money. We earn your processing fee and then lose a batch of engine oil. It's not cost-effective."
"I feel relieved when you say that." Su Jiaojiao and Su Cuicui have similar sewing skills. They only know some simple processes. For collars, cuffs, front lapels and other things, they still have to go to the workshop to find skilled workers to do them.
Because they were making samples, the stitches needed to be measured with a ruler, and the two of them worked on it for an entire afternoon but still couldn't finish it.
Su Jiaojiao listened to Su Cuicui complain about the Su family for a long time. Su Cuicui first scolded Gao Meifeng and Xue Yuxin: "Those two are just idiots. They don't come back to the village for the New Year, and they don't take care of the elderly. This year, my second uncle went back to the village alone to spend the New Year with our grandmother, and the two of them stayed upstairs. They said they couldn't adapt to village life. They are like dead pigs that are not afraid of boiling water. My second uncle can't do anything about them."
After talking about Gao Meifeng, he went on to talk about Su Xiumei: "Ever since our aunt gave birth to Zhenzhen, she's been like a madman, arguing with my uncle all the time, saying that my uncle favors Liang Kun and has given all the family money to him. Liang Kun and his wife, as well as our aunt, no longer visit us. They're like enemies."
The two were chatting when Su Houli walked in. He walked up to Su Jiaojiao and said in a friendly manner, "Jiaojiao, let's have dinner together tonight. No one else will be there, just your sister, your aunt, and your grandmother."
"No." Su Jiaojiao refused without hesitation. When she thought of Su Xiumei, she couldn't eat even if she went.
Some people can be forgiven, some people can never be forgiven.
For example, Su Houli, for example, Su Xiumei.
