Lin Jin was really hit hard.
She had been an excellent student since childhood and had always been the top student in the class. She thought she would be able to go to university smoothly, but she encountered the trend of educated youth going to the countryside. Originally, her brother, an unemployed vagrant, should have gone to the countryside, but her family forced her out, and she had to come to Xiaojing Brigade.
Here, all her knowledge was of no use at all. She worked in the fields every day and built up a lot of strength.
She wanted to go back to the city every moment, year after year, day after day, her obsession was engraved in her bones, but she also knew that it was too difficult to go back to the city, and there was basically no hope.
She chose to work with Jiang Wanyue.
She thought that with her abilities, she would be successful in her sales job.
Reality was like a heavy hammer that made her lose all her strength.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Lin Jin looked up and saw Zhao Xiangbei and Sun Zongyuan carrying a water tank filled with lively fish.
"Sister Lin, good news!" Zhao Xiangbei smiled. "Sister Jiang sold more than 60 kilograms of fish to the bamboo weaving factory. We got more than 30 yuan, which is enough for the fish to eat for three days."
Lin Jin was in mixed feelings.
She ran around the county town for a whole day but didn't sell a single fish and wasted money.
As for Jiang Wanyue, she was busy painting in the commune and could also sell fish at the same time.
There are indeed differences between people.
She stood up, changed her listless look, and said, "Wanyue, how did you sell this fish? Can you tell me the process?"
She needs to learn from experience and not rush forward blindly.
Jiang Wanyue took her to sit down at the entrance of the brigade and said slowly: "First of all, you need to have a chance to meet with the person in charge of the factory. The excuse cannot be too outrageous. It must be something you can really do, or something you can do one day in the future, otherwise it will be easy to lose your credibility. After the meeting, you have to let people know that you are selling fish, and let them know that our fish has been recognized by many people. If you sell fish in the commune, you have to say that the factories in the county have placed orders. If you sell fish in the county, you have to use the tiger skin of the city or the province..."
Lin Jin listened carefully and indeed gained something.
Like a sponge filled with water, she felt incredibly strong.
Her eyes lit up and she said, "It's December now, and New Year's Day will be here soon. All factories will distribute benefits on New Year's Day, so why not start with this?"
Jiang Wanyue nodded: "There are still more than 20 days until New Year's Day, don't worry, I have something to do for you now. You can inspect the brigade in the next few days to see which place is suitable for building our fishery office area and warehouse. It must be close to the water source because I plan to build a fish hatchery pond. Secondly, it must be close to the main road and the transportation must be convenient..."
Lin Jin said in disbelief: "After buying fish food these days, we only have a little over a hundred dollars left in our account. How can we afford to build an office area or a warehouse? Don't let your imagination run wild."
"We have more than 8,000 kilograms of grass carp that can be sold in our fish pond." Jiang Wanyue smiled, "That's more than 4,000 yuan. After paying the villagers, there will be 3,000 left. It's enough to repair these. You go and inspect first, and sell the fish in a few days. Then we can go together."
Lin Jin: “…”
If the fish cannot be sold, it is not money, and her investigation will be in vain, right?
The next morning, Zhao Xiangbei went to deliver the fish, while Jiang Wanyue and Lin Jin continued to purchase fish food.
We purchase more than 3,000 kilograms of fish grass every day. A process has been formed and it can be controlled by one person.
As for feed such as wheat bran and rice bran, every household in the brigade brought their surplus feed to the team in the first two days, and we have collected more than 2,000 kilograms of feed so far. However, fewer and fewer people have brought feed in the past two days.
After collecting the fish grass, they started to mix the fish food. Jiang Wanyue and Lin Jin were so busy that they were sweating profusely.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the brigade office, and a group of people came over with a lot of noise.
"Captain, please come and judge the matter!" an old lady said angrily, "My son is getting married soon, and he needs to build a house. But she buried it right after we dug the foundation. How can you do things like this?"
Another woman shouted, "The east wall of your house occupies my son's homestead. Why should I give you ten centimeters? It doesn't make sense!"
Song Dahai came out of the brigade with a headache, and said in a gentle voice: "We have lived here for generations, and we have been one family for several generations. It is not right to quarrel over a few centimeters of land. There are regulations on how much homestead land each family has. I will arrange for Sun Zongyuan to remeasure it later, and whoever owns it will own it! If the measurement is done and there is another quarrel, I will arrange for you women to carry water conservancy!"
Song Dahai first spoke softly, then explained the reason, and then threatened again, and the two noisy ladies suddenly stopped talking.
He called Sun Zongyuan, took a tape measure, and went to measure the dimensions.
As soon as they left, another group of two young wives came over, shouting. Their children had a fight and one of them had a broken head. The other one wanted compensation, but the other was unwilling to pay. So they argued until they went to the brigade headquarters to seek justice.
Jiang Wanyue felt a headache for his father-in-law.
The branch secretary is mainly responsible for the economic and political aspects of the village, and the people he contacts are from the commune and county, while the team leader is mainly responsible for managing the people below. It was fine during the busy farming season before, as he just organized everyone to work every day. During this period, there was less work in the fields and the women had more free time, so all kinds of quarrels began, and they always had to come to the team headquarters to seek an explanation for all kinds of trivial matters.
After all, people can't sit idle.
Once I have some free time, I have time to think about and do various things.
Jiang Wanyue's thoughts gradually took shape.
In the next few days, Lin Jin inspected the best location in the brigade. Finally, they chose the address next to the fish pond in Group 3. It was close to the brigade headquarters and next to the main road. It would be very convenient for transporting and unloading goods in the future. Renting land in the village and building factories all required going through the procedures and letting Lin Jin handle it.
After Jiang Wanyue finished painting the mural at the snakeskin bag factory, she carried the remaining paint to the bamboo weaving factory.
She had already prepared the base color, so she just needed to start painting. After she finished a painting, many people from the factory came to watch and naturally praised her highly.
Jiang Wanyue chatted casually with a few women, and soon she knew the operating model of the bamboo weaving factory.
She kept painting until the factory closed and she didn't leave yet, continuing to work.
About half an hour later, she finally saw the factory director coming out of the factory building. She immediately turned around and said with a smile, "Director Xiang, I'm going back."
Xiang Lingxiao had been on the phone this afternoon, and after the calls he started to arrange work, and has been busy until now. He vaguely remembered that an employee seemed to have told him that their factory was painting murals today, and he forgot to come over to take a look.
He looked at Jiang Wanyue and said with a smile, "It's getting dark. If Deputy Secretary Jiang hasn't finished painting yet, come back tomorrow. There's no rush."
Jiang Wanyue put the paintbrush into the bucket and said, "I spent most of the day in the bamboo weaving factory. I feel like it will close down in less than two years."
Xiang Lingxiao originally admired Jiang Wanyue very much.
Because the entire brigade, whether it is the branch secretary or the brigade leader, are all men, and the fact that she is able to take the position of deputy branch secretary at such a young age is enough to show that she is capable.
Everyone will appreciate a woman who is both beautiful and capable.
But now, the person he admired said that his factory was going to go bankrupt, which made him very unhappy, and his face suddenly darkened.
