Because of the late departure, the truck did not arrive in the provincial capital until the evening.
A few of them first found a guesthouse to stay in.
There were two middle-aged men traveling with me, and they slept soundly that night.
Early the next morning, we first went to the provincial party committee building.
This building must have been built not long ago. It looks very grand and there are two cars parked inside.
Jiang Wanyue walked out of the truck carrying two bags of local specialties.
One bag contained vegetables grown in her own vegetable garden, such as greens, eggplants, lettuce and so on. The other bag contained dried fish and duck eggs. The dried fish were those that had not been processed in time for fear that they would go bad. The duck eggs were produced by Song Jianguo's duck farm. She planned to let the factory develop new products, so she packed all the extra ones in when she saw them.
After Jiang Wanyue explained her purpose to the guard, the guard showed her the way.
She walked up the stairs, entered the provincial party committee building, and went to the office, where a young female clerk received her.
"You must be Director Jiang, right? This is the counter that the province has arranged for the Xiaojing Brigade factory. It's at this location." The female officer pointed at the map and said, "Just follow it to the end, then turn right and it's at the end."
Upon hearing this description, Jiang Wanyue had a bad feeling.
But she still smiled and said, "Thank you, thank Secretary Qu for me. I brought some local specialties to Secretary Qu. They are not valuable. Please help me pass them on."
When the female secretary heard that the other party was sending something as a gift, she immediately became alert.
However, she was relieved when she saw that the bag actually contained food.
But she was still worried, so she took out all the things and checked them one by one, then said, "Okay, I'll pass them to Secretary Qu."
There is no way. The secretary will most likely be promoted to the capital in two years. If something goes wrong with this matter, everything will be over.
Jiang Wanyue smiled.
She knew that when giving gifts to such leading cadres, the more rustic the better, otherwise they would not accept them at all.
She mainly wanted to express her gratitude, and it was enough as long as the things were delivered.
She took the documents and the Friendship Store employee pass, then stood up and said goodbye.
Next, I have to go see what the counter looks like.
The truck drove to the outside of the Friendship Store. Jiang Wanyue took the documents and went to the staff to get two more passes, making a total of three passes.
She walked in according to the location on the map. After about seven minutes, she finally saw the place.
This is a small corner near the back door warehouse, about 1.2 meters wide and less than half a meter deep. After the products are placed, people probably can't stand behind the counter.
Jiang Wanyue held his forehead and sighed.
But if you think about it, it's understandable. After all, it's just a small village-run factory. Putting it in a conspicuous place probably makes them afraid that they will slander others.
Looking at it from another perspective, others have tried their best to squeeze in but have no way, so it is a great honor for her to get the admission ticket.
This place is a bit remote and small, but it is quiet.
Jiang Wanyue comforted herself, walked to the counter next door, and said enthusiastically: "Hello, sister, can I borrow something?"
Next door is also a handicraft counter that sells traditional masks. Obviously, it is also an unpopular factory and is extremely deserted.
However, this counter was slightly larger, and could accommodate one person sitting behind it. Behind it was a woman in her forties, who was knitting a sweater. She raised her head and said, "What do you want to buy? Feel free to look."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Sister, we will be neighbors from now on."
The woman quickly poked her head out and said, "Good fellows, this place belongs to you. Originally, there was a candy man factory here. They only sold one candy man in a few months, and I bought it. Later, a flower factory sold flowers here, and they only sold one pot, which I also bought. Later, this place became empty. Big sister, quickly tell your factory manager not to waste this energy. This place is not good and nothing can be sold."
Jiang Wanyue smiled slightly: "I am the factory director."
The woman was shocked. "Such a young factory manager is rare. You young people are just stupid. Why do you have to do business with foreigners? You even have to find a salesperson who can speak foreign languages. Isn't this a waste of money?"
Jiang Wanyue continued to smile: "That's right, I can speak foreign languages."
The woman immediately changed the language and asked tentatively: "Hello?"
Jiang Wanyue also switched to English and asked, "Have you ever been abroad?"
"My ancestors settled in England, but couldn't make it, so they came back a few years ago. I happened to be able to speak foreign languages, so I found a job here." The woman said enthusiastically, "My last name is Bai, you can call me Sister Bai."
"Sister Bai." Jiang Wanyue readily agreed, "My last name is Jiang, you can call me Xiao Jiang."
"How can that be? You are the factory director. I have to call you Director Jiang." Sister Bai grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "Our counters are all quiet. You can buy more melon seeds next time. We can chat while eating them."
Jiang Wanyue almost laughed: "How much can Sister Bai sell in a day?"
"To be honest, I don't even like this mask." Sister Bai spat out the melon seed shells and said, "But our country is doing something to protect traditional handicrafts, and our factory happened to be selected. Even if we can't make a dime a month, our factory will also receive subsidies, so it doesn't matter. This job is leisurely and comfortable, suitable for lazy people like me."
Jiang Wanyue: “…”
Without performance appraisal, sales staff had no motivation, which led to the closure of a large number of factories and triggered a huge wave of layoffs.
This is a common problem of this era, and Sister Bai is just a representative.
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Sister Bai, do you have a ruler? Can you lend it to me?"
Sister Bai took out a tape measure from under the counter and handed it over.
Jiang Wanyue measured the length, width and height of the counter and wrote them down, then returned the measuring tape: "Thank you, Sister Bai. See you in a few days."
After finishing the work at the Friendship Store, I went to buy a truck.
Last time, because I was short of money, I bought the cheapest small truck. Sometimes a trip had to be made in two parts, which was very troublesome.
This time, Jiang Wanyue plans to buy a medium-sized truck with a loading capacity of more than ten tons.
A small truck costs 23,000 yuan, while a mid-sized truck costs twice as much, 57,000 yuan.
If the cost is shared between the two factories, with each factory paying more than 20,000 yuan, it seems acceptable.
"That's it!" Jiang Wanyue waved her hand generously, "Uncle Wu, get in the car and take a drive to see how it feels."
Wu Zhiqiang was very excited. He had driven this kind of big truck before and it was even more fun to drive.
He jumped into the driver's seat, started the car, walked around the factory, gave a thumbs up and said, "Director, there is no problem with this car, it's great!"
Jiang Wanyue looked at Accountant Wen and said, "Then please go and pay the bill, Sister Wen."
Accountant Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead.
She has been following Director Xiang for so many years, and the most money she has spent has never exceeded one thousand.
Ever since I started working with Jiang Wanyue, I've been spending money more and more recklessly, and the key is still unknown...
