The study class is in full swing.
Only some positions in the factory require academic qualifications, while other positions require hard labor and many people have never received any education.
The two factories jointly held a study class half an hour after lunch every day. The workers were very enthusiastic and the classroom was full of people.
However, the English classroom next door was particularly bleak.
There were three salesmen from the processing factory and two from the bamboo weaving factory, a total of five people. Each of them was holding a notebook and a pen, with a worried look on their faces.
Yuan Zhanrun stood on the podium, trying to teach them the twenty-six letters...
Jiang Wanyue walked outside the classroom and shook her head. The progress of English learning was too slow. By the time these people learned a foreign language, it would be too late.
Forget it, let her find time to teach herself.
She walked to Xiang Lingxiao's office and handed him a book of drawings. "There will be a Canton Fair in November. I plan to bring the products of the bamboo weaving factory with me. This will also be the main product of our store in the provincial capital in the future. Can I take a look at it with the factory director?"
Xiang Lingxiao opened the drawing and looked at it carefully.
The artwork is divided into four categories.
The first category was women's bags, similar in style to the ones they sold to Smith.
The second category is daily necessities, such as bamboo mats and pillows, which are more exquisite than what they usually produce.
The third category is tea sets. I didn’t expect that bamboo could be used to make tea sets. They look so attractive.
The third category is simple decorations, such as bamboo vases, ornaments, screens, etc.
Every picture gives people a great visual enjoyment.
"Director Jiang, you are amazing." Xiang Lingxiao sighed repeatedly, "You are such a talent. You are really wronged in our Xiaojing Brigade."
"It's a bit awkward to say this to the factory director. I also hope that the bamboo weaving factory will get better and better." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "There are quite a lot of products on this drawing. We can study them slowly and make the finished products before November."
While he was talking to Xiang Lingxiao, Pei Su, an office worker at the processing plant, came over to deliver a message: "Director, Secretary Feng from the Fengshou Brigade has delivered ducks."
"Director Xiang, you are busy. I will go over first."
Jiang Wanyue walked out of the bamboo weaving factory and headed towards the processing plant.
During this period of time, the sales staff of the non-staple food processing factory have opened up supply channels in 37 cities and counties, and the sales volume has shown a straight upward trend. The monthly income has stabilized at more than 30,000.
Now is the season for grass carp to be marketed. There is no shortage of fish, but there are never enough ducks.
The ducks from the county duck farm could not meet the demand, so Wu Zhiqiang had to go to the city or provincial capital to buy ducks every week.
Three months later, the ducks of the Harvest Brigade were finally ready for harvest.
When Jiang Wanyue approached, she heard the ducks quacking non-stop.
The Harvest Brigade arranged four men to deliver the ducks. There were a total of 487 ducks on the four carts.
"We bought 500 ducklings in total, and more than a dozen died. These are the ones left." Secretary Feng rubbed his hands and said, "Director Jiang, are you still buying ducks?"
On his way here, he heard from the villagers that the processing plant had shipped back a thousand ducks from the provincial capital three days ago, which made him a little nervous.
"Of course I'll take as many as you can get." Jiang Wanyue walked forward, opened the snakeskin bag, took out a duck, and weighed it. "Wow, this duck must be at least four pounds, almost five pounds. It's only three months old, and it's grown so fat!"
Secretary Feng said proudly: "These ducks grew up eating earthworms and grasshoppers, and were also fed with small fish and shrimps. They grew better than those who only ate grains. I have weighed these ducks, and the lightest one weighed three and a half kilograms."
In the province, the price of adult ducks is calculated by the number, two dollars and fifty cents each, which is about four pounds.
But many of the ducks in Secretary Feng's batch weighed more than four pounds, so two dollars and fifty cents per duck was a bit of a loss.
Jiang Wanyue took the initiative to speak: "Two dollars and seven cents a piece, how about it?"
She lowered the price so that the other party could make more money and be willing to raise more ducks in the future. Moreover, since they delivered the ducks to her door, she could also save some money on the travel expenses to buy the ducks.
"Great, great!" Secretary Feng was delighted. "Thank you, Director Jiang. Thank you so much!"
Jiang Wanyue asked Zhao Xiangbei to pay the money.
The total is one thousand three hundred and fourteen dollars and ninety cents.
Holding a thick stack of money, Secretary Feng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he kept mumbling: "We have money now. Our brigade finally has money. Let's pay back the villagers first."
The money to buy the ducklings was raised from the villagers, a total of 250 yuan.
They have to borrow even such a small amount of money, you can imagine how poor their team is.
"After paying back the money, your team will still have 1,000 yuan." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "You can hire a few people to raise ducks and expand the scale. I suggest that you raise about 2,000 ducks in the second batch. After about a month, add ducklings. After another month, continue to add ducklings. In this way, you can ensure that there will always be income."
Secretary Feng nodded his head in a rush, "Okay, I'll listen to Director Jiang. I'll make the arrangements when I get back."
The news that the Fengshou Brigade made money by raising ducks spread throughout the Hongqi Commune in an instant.
Basically all the brigades raised fish, but the fish raised in early spring could not be sold until at least October, so they had not seen a penny for such a long time. Not only that, they also invested a lot of money in buying fish feed... But the Fengshou Brigade made a thousand dollars quietly.
Many people came to inquire about the news.
Jiang Wanyue looked at the branch secretaries of other brigades and said with a smile: "The main product of our processing plant is meat tofu, which uses duck meat. The factory will continue to purchase ducks."
"I heard that the price you offered was 2.7 yuan," said Party Secretary Fang. "It is said that the price in the county is only 2.5 yuan."
Jiang Wanyue took one look at him and knew what he was planning. He wanted to make the profit from the price difference on her head.
She smiled and said, "I will only give this price for ducks that are over 4.5 jin. For those that are over 3 jin but barely 4 jin, I will give 2.5 yuan. Of course, if Secretary Fang is not afraid of hard work and helps to pick fatter ducks from the county and sell them to me, I will also be willing to give 2.7 yuan."
Secretary Fang held his forehead with his hand, this girl is too smart.
He coughed and said, "That's not my intention. I also want to raise ducks. I want to raise 3,000 ducks in the first batch. Can your processing plant handle that?"
"As many as you want." Jiang Wanyue smiled brightly, "As long as Secretary Fang can support me, I'll take all of them. If you're not sure, we can still sign a contract."
Currently, only one-third of the provincial market has been opened up. Once the entire market is opened up, the demand for raw materials will be even higher.
Moreover, her sights are not limited to the provincial market. She will gradually open up markets outside the province and sell her products across the country and around the world...
Ahem, it’s too early to think about these things. Let’s take it one step at a time.
After getting the accurate information, all the branch secretaries felt relieved.
As soon as they returned, they prepared to start a duck farm. Those who decided early could buy ducklings in the county town. Those teams that hesitated for a long time could only go to the city or province to buy them, which invisibly increased a lot of travel costs.
