After settling Lin Jin down, the group returned to the village.
Jiang Wanyue began to busy herself with designing stores in the provincial capital.
Originally it was a two-story building with five shops, all of which were demolished and rebuilt into two houses.
Both factories are collective industries and belong to different collectives. Such fixed assets must be clearly divided to avoid hidden dangers in future management and operations.
Each of the two buildings has three floors. The first floor is a shop, the second floor is a warehouse, and the third floor is used as staff dormitory.
There is a piece of vacant land behind the factory building. According to the blueprint, it is also under the ownership. It can be built into a garage or used to store goods.
After the house construction drawings are completed, the decoration plan must be drawn up.
After all, this was not something Jiang Wanyue was good at. She drew and drew again, and started over again and again, which took a lot of time...
While drawing the blueprints, Jiang Wanyue began recruiting salesmen in the provincial capital.
Salesmen are different from ordinary workers. They have higher requirements in all aspects and will be interviewed by Jiang Wanyue personally.
Because the work location was in the provincial capital, as soon as the news got out, all the educated youth in the entire commune were mobilized.
At the beginning, it was because the job opportunities in the city were saturated and a large number of young people were unemployed that educated youth went to the countryside.
Returning to the city can almost be said to be the biggest dream of every young person who went to the countryside. Even married educated youth want to return to their hometown. However, without connections, returning to the city is just a pipe dream.
Moreover, even if some people go back, their lives are not satisfactory, because the houses in the city are small, and after their brothers and sisters get married, they will feel like outsiders when they go back. Another thing is that there are almost no jobs in the city, temporary workers have been snatched up, and hard labor is hard to find, so they become unemployed vagrants after returning to the city.
And now, there is an opportunity.
As long as you get the job, you can return to the city, and food and accommodation are provided. It’s hard to find such a good thing even with a lantern!
Jiang Wanyue was sitting in the office and saw a crowd of educated youth standing outside.
There were ten brigades in the entire commune, and each brigade had more than a dozen educated youth. Some of them went back, but there were still about a hundred left. Except for some people who really couldn't go back, basically all of them had arrived. Even some employees working in processing plants wanted to try out sales positions.
This group of people are the tears of the times, and Jiang Wanyue is willing to give them a chance.
The interview lasted for two full days, and finally eight people were selected, four men and four women.
The eight new employees stood in front of Jiang Wanyue, unable to hide their excitement, and two female comrades even had tears in their eyes.
"The store in the provincial capital will probably open in March next year. You also have tasks in the next four months." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "Four men, you may have to work harder. You need to go to the provincial capital now. You mainly need to monitor the progress of the house repair. Here are the drawings. You four should familiarize yourself with them. If you have any questions, come and ask me."
She continued, "You four girls, in these four months, first get familiar with the products, then enter the sales department, learn how to connect with customers, how to sell products..."
The four young men were very excited: "Director, when are we going to the provincial capital?"
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow."
Jiang Yuanyuan went to the provincial capital to get a divorce, and we will bring her back the day after tomorrow. The English teaching work in the sales department cannot be stopped.
The next morning, Jiang Wanyue was busy working when someone from the commune came to call her, "Director Jiang, our secretary wants you to pack up and follow me to the county."
Jiang Wanyue wore a Zhongshan suit and small leather shoes every day. She didn't need to pack anything. She just rode her bicycle to the commune.
"Director Jiang, the county party secretary asked you to go. He mainly wants to learn about the Canton Fair." Secretary Ji said, holding his briefcase. "The Canton Fair has always been the business of the big factories in the provincial capital. This time, no one expected that a factory run by a village would be reported in the newspaper. The daily newspaper in Guangcheng specifically reported on your Xiaojing Food Processing Factory, which caused a stir in our Hu Province. That's why the secretary called to ask you to go."
Jiang Wanyue was delighted: "Is our factory really in the newspaper?"
"Of course, is this true?" Secretary Ji smiled, "But the commune doesn't have the newspaper from Guangcheng. You should be able to see it when you go to the county."
The two men talked as they rode a tractor to the county.
Because the trucks in the factory are too busy, I really can't spare the time.
A tractor has no seats, so it is definitely not as comfortable to sit in as a truck. However, Jiang Wanyue is not the kind of person who can't accept a bad life after living a good life. She used to ride a bicycle to go to the county, so there is nothing wrong with riding a tractor.
Sitting in the truck bed, Secretary Ji said, "Two accountants are working on a proposal for electrification. According to a rough estimate, it would cost about 500,000 yuan to electrify all the brigades in the commune."
As he spoke, he observed Jiang Wanyue's expression.
Although the factory earned more than one million yuan, after deducting costs and other things, the net profit should only be five or six hundred thousand yuan.
And it would cost at least five hundred thousand to get electricity.
By spending like this, all the money I earned is gone.
He was worried that Jiang Wanyue would change her mind at the last minute.
This amount was reasonable, but also beyond Jiang Wanyue's expectations, because in the 1960s and 1970s, materials were scarcest and all resources were concentrated on major national projects. The consumables needed for electricity were relatively expensive, but coming up with 500,000 yuan at once was a bit stressful.
Jiang Wanyue said, "Secretary, if we only connect electricity to the brigades and not to every household, what is the budget?"
Secretary Ji thought for a moment and said, "When we made the budget, we only took into account the lines of the main roads. We estimate that we can only save 50,000 or 60,000 yuan... Do you think we should delay the electricity supply for a year?"
Jiang Wanyue shook her head: "We must get the electricity back as soon as possible."
Without electricity, many machines cannot be used. Although diesel can be used, it is inconvenient.
Moreover, she really needed a phone so that she could get in touch with clients as soon as possible, instead of having to run to the commune to answer the phone every time.
Another thing is that with electricity, life will be more convenient, and she really doesn't want to read and write under the kerosene lamp anymore.
Secretary Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
Two hours later, the tractor arrived at the gate of the county party committee building.
The two got out of the car and walked in.
This is the first time Jiang Wanyue has come here since Secretary Ning was promoted.
She first went to Secretary Qin to say hello and gave him some tea.
Secretary Qin is now the office director. He was sitting in the office processing some documents. When he saw Jiang Wanyue, he was very happy: "I saw your achievements at the Canton Fair, Director Jiang, you are amazing!"
Jiang Wanyue said modestly: "No, no, it all depends on your support. By the way, Director Qin, I came to inquire about the new secretary's temperament."
Director Qin said in a low voice: "The new secretary's surname is Liu, he is in his thirties, he is stricter than the previous Secretary Ning, pays attention to details, and also pursues political achievements. This time I asked you to come here, in addition to understanding the Canton Fair, there should be other things, you should pay more attention."
Jiang Wanyue nodded and thanked him, then went to Secretary Liu’s office with Secretary Ji.
