Jiang Wanyue thought about it and decided to try her luck at the candy factory.
Just as I was about to go forward, I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Deputy Party Secretary Jiang!" Xiang Lingxiao came over from across the street. "I thought I was seeing things, but it turns out to be you. I'm surprised that we meet in the county town. I mean, we are really destined to be together."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "What business did Director Xiang come to the county for?"
"Oh, I forgot to congratulate Deputy Branch Secretary Jiang." Xiang Lingxiao laughed. "Deputy Branch Secretary Jiang is really a talented woman. I heard that your paintings were published in the provincial newspaper before. This time, your paintings were published in the provincial capital pictorial. Because there happened to be a big round box from our bamboo weaving factory in the painting, people in the provincial capital thought it was beautiful. The candied fruit factory called me to come over and said they also wanted to order a batch. I was planning to go to your brigade to discuss the samples with you as soon as I returned to the commune."
Jiang Wanyue was a little surprised: "My painting was published in the provincial capital's pictorial?"
"It's been published for several days. It's strange that the commune only has major newspapers and magazines, and didn't order pictorials, so we didn't know the news." Xiang Lingxiao said, "It's sold in the county bookstore. Let's go buy a copy."
Jiang Wanyue already knew which painting it was.
That evening, she passed by the village and saw Grandma Du and her granddaughter sitting under a big locust tree weaving big round boxes. The orange setting sun shone down, lengthening the shadow of the locust tree, and the two of them were coated with a layer of golden warm light, which was very cozy. She was moved and went home to paint the scene and sent it to the newspaper.
I sent four paintings that time, but I didn't expect this one to be selected.
There was no rush to buy the magazines, so she said, "The candied fruit factory wants to order large round boxes. I want to hear their ideas in person so that it will be easier to design."
Xiang Lingxiao waved his hand and said, "They said it would be fine if it was similar to the boxes used in the candy factory. They don't have high requirements."
"That's what the client said. If we really make it into a sample, it will definitely be picked and chosen." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "It's still early, let's go over and have a chat."
Xiang Lingxiao knew that she had many ideas, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
The two walked for more than 20 minutes to reach the candied fruit factory. The factory was neither big nor small, and its main purpose was to process fresh fruits into candied fruits, package them and then sell them.
The workshop director saw Xiang Lingxiao coming back and asked in confusion, "What's going on, Director Xiang?"
"Let me introduce this to Director Qiu. This person is the organizer of our bamboo weaving factory. The idea of the big round bamboo box was hers. Let's sit down and have a detailed discussion to determine the direction." Xiang Lingxiao said with a smile, "Director Qiu, you can tell us whatever ideas you have, and we will be responsible for making them come true."
Director Qiu really didn't have any idea. It was his superiors who said that the large round bamboo box was featured in the provincial capital's newspapers, and the candies packed in this large round box were sold out instantly, so they asked them to quickly order a batch. After all, all bamboo boxes look like this, so he thought any kind would be fine.
Jiang Wanyue picked up a pen and drew on the paper. Several different styles of packaging boxes appeared. She smiled and said, "Director, take a look. Which one do you prefer?"
Director Qiu was immediately brought into the situation. After looking at them, he felt that they were all good and bad, and he couldn't pick one out anyway.
Jiang Wanyue painted again, this time, she painted a multi-layered bamboo box.
Director Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "This is good, this is not bad, it can separate different types of candied fruits and prevent the flavors from mixing. Let's go with this one!"
Generally, the candied fruits packaged in this way are packed in gift boxes. There are many gift boxes with a little bit of various candied fruits in them. They look messy when piled together. Dividing them into layers like this makes them convenient to pick up and looks high-end. It makes people feel proud when giving them as gifts.
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Because this is a multi-layer bamboo weaving, the craftsmanship is too complicated and the cost may be relatively high. The original large round box cost 30 cents each, but this one should cost at least 50 cents. What do you think, Director Qiu?"
Director Qiu paused.
Fifty cents, that’s about the same cost as iron packaging.
He picked up the drawing, stood up and said, "I'll go ask the factory manager. You guys sit down for a while."
Xiang Lingxiao was a little worried: "In fact, the efficiency of workers making these types of boxes is almost the same, but the price is 20 cents higher. I am worried that the candied fruit factory will not agree."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "This multi-layer bamboo box is the first of its kind in the province. Don't worry, I will agree to it."
Xiang Lingxiao felt that she was too optimistic.
Just as I was worrying, Director Qiu came back and said, "Our factory manager said, let's choose this kind of multi-layered bamboo weaving. It's only 50 cents. There's no need to send samples. Just place an order for 1,000. Can it be delivered within seven days?"
Xiang Lingxiao couldn't believe it.
Not only did the candied fruit factory agree to the high price of 50 cents, they even didn’t even want a sample and placed the order directly?
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Seven days is no problem. In order to protect the rights of both of us, I suggest that we sign an agreement. If we fail to deliver the goods within seven days, we will pay three times the deposit. What do you think is a suitable deposit, Director Qiu?"
When the county factories reach cooperation agreements with the province, they must sign contracts. However, when they cooperate with the lower level, they do not have the habit of signing agreements. However, since the other party has proposed it, Director Qiu is naturally willing to follow the process and said, "Generally, we pay 10%. According to the order amount, our candied fruit factory will pay 50 yuan first. I will go to the finance department to issue the invoice."
Xiang Lingxiao was simply stunned.
Jiang Wanyue not only got the order directly, but also received part of the payment in advance before the goods were delivered.
Compared with her, I, the factory director, am a real scumbag.
Soon, Director Qiu came over with fifty yuan. Jiang Wanyue wrote a receipt on the spot and asked Xiang Lingxiao to put his fingerprint on it.
