Jiang Wanyue's mind moved.
When she took a train to Guangzhou last year, she saw instant noodles being sold on the train and an idea came to her mind.
Nowadays, there are only instant noodles that can be eaten dry, and there is no such thing as instant noodles. There may be such noodles abroad, but even if there are, they have not been introduced to China.
She said, "Secretary Zhou, can I come to your commune and have a chat in a couple of days?"
"That's great." Secretary Zhou was very excited. "What kind of tea Director Jiang likes to drink? I'll prepare it in advance."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "No need to go through so much trouble. Just talk to Secretary Zhou about the future plans of the noodle factory, and then go to the factory for a walk."
Secretary Zhou was so happy that he was dizzy.
The others were so envious that they all crowded over here.
Secretary Liu hurriedly said, "That's enough. Director Jiang is just a little girl. No matter how quick her brain works, she can't stand your bullying. I'll arrange a meeting after a while and invite the leaders of your communes to come to the meeting. Director Jiang will preside over the meeting. How do you think?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Jiang Wanyue naturally obeyed the order respectfully.
That night, the entire Hongqi Commune received calls.
The villagers had already bought light bulbs and hung them in the main room. As soon as it got dark, they turned on the lights one after another.
At this time of year before, the village was pitch black, with only a few people lighting kerosene lamps. However, the light from the kerosene lamps was only tiny and inconspicuous.
Now, every household in the village has bought light bulbs. Although the wattage is relatively low, it is much better than kerosene lamps. When the lights in the house are turned on, the entire Xiaojing Brigade is also bright.
Because electricity is expensive, no one is willing to use it, so it lights up for a while and then goes out.
Jiang Wanyue's home has higher-wattage light bulbs installed, one in every room.
Song Yunying said happily: "The light bulb is so bright. My eyes don't hurt even after reading for such a long time."
Song Huazhi clapped his hands excitedly: "I like the headlights, the headlights are bright, so bright!"
Song Huaizhi picked up his brother and put him on a chair, and said with a deliberately stern face: "Today's task is to learn "Ode to the Goose". Sit down and recite the poem with me."
Song Huazhi is already three years old. Normally, he should be old enough to learn to recite poems, but this guy is too playful. It has been half a month since he started learning this poem, and he has only learned the first line - Goose, goose, goose.
Sitting there, he began to look around.
Song Huaizhi had a headache, so he took a stick as a ruler and hit the little guy a few times. Finally, the guy behaved himself.
Jiang Wanyue sat at the table and began to write a plan.
It is indeed much more convenient to have a light. It feels easy on my eyes and I managed to stay up until the early morning without realizing it.
The next morning, she saw the newspaper sent from the county. The news that their Hongqi Commune had been electrified had been reported to the provincial government. The provincial capital's daily newspaper specifically reported the news and also included the name of their Xiaojing Non-staple Food Processing Factory, which was like a big invisible advertisement.
The next day, she took the plan and took a bus to Jinqiu Commune.
Secretary Zhou had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Jiang Wanyue, he was very enthusiastic: "It is our honor that Director Jiang has come to our commune despite his busy schedule. Come on, come on, please come this way."
"Secretary Zhou, you are too polite." Jiang Wanyue felt very embarrassed by the flattery and lowered her attitude and said, "Let's go to the noodle factory first."
Secretary Zhou nodded: "This way, it's not far, we'll be there in a few minutes."
The noodle factory is called a factory, but from Jiang Wanyue's perspective, it is actually just a small workshop with two rooms, one for production and one as a warehouse. It is tidy and clean. The seven workers of the noodle factory are standing at the door uncomfortably, not knowing what to do.
Jiang Wanyue stepped in and took a look at the workshop. There were no machines and the noodles were made entirely by hand. No wonder they only earned three or four hundred yuan a month.
Secretary Zhou rubbed his hands and said, "The machines are too expensive. One costs several thousand. I can't afford it. I really can't afford it."
Jiang Wanyue asked: "Can we go to the wheat field and take a look?"
Secretary Zhou immediately took her to the field.
It is the end of April and the wheat will be harvested soon. The golden ears of wheat swaying in the wind make people feel happy.
Although Jiang Wanyue is not proficient in agriculture, she has been in the village for a long time and knows which wheat is good and which is not. Jinqiu Commune has unique natural conditions. Because of the abundant sunshine, the wheat grows better, and the grains are fuller and more fragrant. No wonder Secretary Liu praised it so much.
Secretary Zhou asked nervously, "Director Jiang, what's going on?"
"Let's go to the office and sit down to talk." Jiang Wanyue and Secretary Zhou entered the office and handed over the proposal. "Secretary Zhou, take a look at this first."
On the cover, there were the words "Instant Noodle Factory Plan". Secretary Zhou was confused when he saw it: "Instant noodles? What is that?"
The farthest place he had ever been to was the provincial capital, and he rarely went there once a year. He had never taken a train, so naturally he didn't know what instant noodles were.
Jiang Wanyue explained with a smile, "It's a very convenient food made from flour. It's currently only sold on trains. If I have a chance, I'll go to the provincial capital railway station and bring back a pack for Secretary Zhou to try. Let's take a look at the proposal first."
Secretary Zhou looked at it seriously.
After reading it, he was full of disbelief: "Director Jiang, are you saying that we should stop making dried noodles and switch to instant noodles?"
Jiang Wanyue nodded: "The competition in the noodle market is too fierce. In the communes under Lianhu County alone, there are four noodle manufacturers. The county food factory also produces noodles. To be honest, your Jinqiu Commune has no other competitive advantages except for the good wheat. You can only earn a few hundred dollars a month, which is just enough to maintain a basic livelihood."
"But, but..." Secretary Zhou scratched his head, "I have never heard of this instant noodles. I have no idea how to make it. I am completely in the dark."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "It is clearly written in the plan that our Xiaojing Food Processing Factory will provide the technology, and your Jinqiu Commune will provide the factory building, manpower, and raw materials."
Secretary Zhou was relieved.
Technology is the most core issue of a factory. With Director Jiang’s guarantee, there is nothing to worry about.
However, there is still a problem.
He asked, "Where's the funding?"
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "For the funding, I plan to adopt the form of raising shares. Because I need to seek Secretary Liu's consent, it is not written in the plan. In short, technology accounts for 30%, manpower and land account for 30%, and capital accounts for 40%. Our Xiaojing Processing Factory provides technology, you provide manpower and land, and are responsible for ensuring the output of raw materials. For the funding, if other communes are willing to invest, then we will divide it according to this proportion. If everyone is unwilling to pay, then our factory will pay for it all. In this way, our Xiaojing Processing Factory's share in the instant noodle factory will reach 70%. In other words, if we make 100 yuan, we will take 70 and Jinqiu Commune will take 30."
Secretary Zhou understood. He opened his lips and said, "Mingming, Director Jiang can work alone, why do you bring us with you?"
