Chapter 177 Taking the Train



Jiang Wanyue handed over the household affairs to her mother-in-law, and asked her father-in-law to take charge of the affairs of the two factories.

He set off towards Guangcheng with a group of people and a large amount of goods.

First, we took a truck to the railway station in the provincial capital.

The train stations of those days were completely different from those of later times. They were messy and crowded with people, and there was a lot of petty theft in such places.

Fortunately, there were two grown men, Zhao Xiangbei and Xiang Lingxiao, as well as Wu Zhiqiang and several other men who helped carry the things in. When thieves saw them, they had to retreat and they were not robbed.

When we arrived at the train station gate, we saw someone holding a big sign that read: Hubei Province Canton Fair delegation.

Xiang Lingxiao immediately walked over, inquired about the situation, and followed people to another slightly quieter waiting room. Here, all the factories were going to Guangzhou to participate in the Canton Fair.

There are fewer trains these days, and this is the only train going to Guangzhou these days, so it's not surprising that they collided.

"Wanyue." Jiang Qizheng walked over, "The train will leave in an hour, come over and sit for a while."

Jiang Wanyue glanced at the waiting room and found that there was indeed only an empty seat in the direction Jiang Qi was pointing at, so she walked over with her people.

As soon as she sat down, she saw her adoptive mother, Ms. He, there too. She greeted her politely, "Auntie He."

Ms. He said calmly, "I heard that the popular Xiaojing side dish on the market is a product of your factory?"

This information was written on the packaging bag, so Jiang Wanyue didn't need to hide it deliberately. She said calmly, "Yes."

"That's easy to handle." Ms. He continued, "I asked people to contact your factory salesperson at least three times, asking them to supply goods to the provincial department store, but they refused. Tell them to prepare the goods and send them as soon as possible next month. Ask for 50,000 goods for the first batch."

Lin Jin, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Our factory director has no say in this matter. I'm the sales director, so I'm in charge."

Ms. He glanced over.

Lin Jin smiled and said, "At the beginning of the year, our factory had approached the provincial department store. However, you disliked us because we were a village-run factory and said that the products in the village were too rustic and not presentable. So we had to give up on the idea."

Ms. He frowned and said, "It's because my subordinates are ignorant. I apologize on their behalf. We can continue to cooperate."

Lin Jin uttered two words: "Too late."

"Wanyue, the director under you is not very good." Ms. He frowned even more tightly, "Business is business, don't always bring personal emotions into it."

Recently, the crispy fish fillets, fish tofu and meat tofu are extremely popular, except that they are out of stock in the department stores in the provincial capital.

At least a hundred people came to inquire every day, but the department store was unable to stock the goods, which caused dissatisfaction among many people and her superiors also criticized her.

She arranged for someone to inquire about it, and surprisingly, it turned out that this product was actually produced by Xiaojing Brigade. Further investigation revealed that the director of this factory was her adopted daughter.

She didn't want to investigate why a rural educated youth suddenly became a factory director because it was meaningless.

She had no choice but to follow Jiang Qizhen to the train station to wait for Jiang Wanyue, intending to finalize the matter in person.

"I don't need to tell you how big the customer base of the provincial capital is." Ms. He said coldly, "The purchasing power of a province is equivalent to that of 20 counties combined. You won't have to worry about the profitability of your factory in the future."

"Aunt He, our sales director has made it very clear. If it was six months earlier, we could have cooperated, but now it's really not possible." Jiang Wanyue was neither soft nor hard, and handled things impartially. "At present, our factory has arranged a sales store in the provincial capital. Customers in the provincial capital will have a place to buy in the future, so Aunt He doesn't have to worry."

"What did you say?" Ms. He was incredulous. "Sales store? Where? When will it open?"

"Don't worry about this, Aunt He." Jiang Wanyue glanced at her watch. "There are still forty minutes before we get on the bus. I need to rest for a while. I'll excuse myself, Aunt He."

She noticed another empty spot and quickly pulled Lin Jin over there.

Lin Jin stuck out her tongue and said, "You, my foster mother, really take yourself too seriously. You act bossy and think you're so great."

On the other hand, Ms. He was about to explode with anger: "Old Jiang, look at her attitude, is it appropriate? I raised her until she was 18 years old, and she treats me like this?"

Jiang Qizheng said, "Alright, she is now the head of the factory, and her position is higher than yours. Your previous method is no longer feasible. Besides, our textile factory's foreign exchange income still depends on Wanyue. Don't offend her and affect our textile factory. It's getting late, you should leave quickly."

Ms. He left angrily.

Soon, it was time to check tickets and everyone lined up to get on the bus.

Xiang Lingxiao and Zhao Xiangbei were carrying a lot of things. They first stored them one by one in the cargo compartment of the train, and then came over to take their seats.

The five of them sat together, three in a row, squeezed together. It would take at least three days and three nights to reach Guangcheng. The slow speed was one reason, and another reason was that trains were often jammed these days. You had to queue to enter a station, and if they stopped in the middle, they would have to stop for at least one or two hours... Anyway, it was very chaotic.

Jiang Wanyue sat for two hours and couldn't bear it anymore.

She quickly got up and went to wander around.

When she reached the junction of the two carriages, she asked the attendant with a smile, "Excuse me, are there any empty berths on this train?"

The flight attendant shook his head and said, "Because there is a grand event in Guangcheng, sleeper berths are given priority to foreigners."

Jiang Wanyue was cursing in her heart.

Once foreigners are involved, things become difficult to handle.

She asked a few more random questions before returning to her seat.

In the evening, when it was time for dinner, the train became lively again. The attendants pushed carts back and forth with some food such as dry steamed buns, biscuits, water, etc. on them.

Jiang Wanyue brought her own dry food, in the form of steamed buns. The temperature was quite high, so the steamed buns could only be eaten for one meal. Tomorrow she could only eat steamed buns, and the day after tomorrow she could only eat steamed buns.

Fortunately, I brought some side dishes from their processing factory.

Take a bite of steamed bun and then a bite of fish tofu, it is quite delicious.

Huzhou was not the starting station, and there were passengers from other provinces on the train. When they saw the non-staple food in their hands, they came over curiously and asked, "What is this? Where did you buy it? It looks delicious."

It is inconvenient to eat on the train. Everyone’s mouth is empty and when they see something delicious, they can’t help but come over.

Nowadays, people who can take the train are not poor. Most of them are workers on business trips who can afford to buy things with some money.

Lin Jin's salesmanship was awakened, and he introduced enthusiastically: "This is the most popular side dish in our Hu Province. This is crispy fish slices, this is fish tofu, and this is meat tofu. You are lucky to have met our factory manager. I can sell it to you at the factory price to try it."

After hearing this, everyone quickly took out their money.
