Chapter 152 Situation of all parties

"How is it?"

"Very good! It's better than I thought. I don't know how that person found this thing. Such a machine is not easy to find."

"If they don't tell us, we can't ask," the village chief said, looking at the machine in front of him. "That's good. With this machine, we can have more time to pick coffee cherries."

The machine in front of me is none other than a coffee machine, a machine that can roast coffee beans.

This year is also the year when the coffee planted three years ago is harvested.

The deputy mayor stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and suddenly reached out and touched her: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. Our town government leaders have discussed that since coffee can be made with such a machine, tea can also be made, and it will be even easier to make. A few days ago, a machine factory in the city sent a message saying that they can help make a tea machine."

"Really?" the village chief asked excitedly. He didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.

"It's not just for your sake. We have confirmed that although we have abundant resources here, tea and coffee can indeed be made into our pillar industries. If the province and city want to develop in the future and we can sell tea and coffee, everyone will definitely live a better life in the future." The deputy mayor said with a smile.

As a native of Yunnan Province and also a resident of the town, she very much hopes to see the town and the village getting better and better. She never thought that she could sell tea and coffee before, but in the past few years, she has seen the business quietly develop, which has boosted the lives of the villagers and given her hope.

Yunnan Province's Pu'er tea has been famous since ancient times, but when the quantity of tea leaves increases, it is not easy to sell. But since there are people buying it, it means there is a market, and if there is a market, it can be sold.

Even if it is sold at a low price, as long as it can be sold, it is good.

When talking about this, both of them became very excited and sat down to start chatting in detail.

Tea roasting machines can be made, but the early ones will be relatively crude and mainly suitable for roasting old tea picked in large quantities. However, this is a great joy for every village.

In the process of picking tea leaves, picking, drying and frying tea all take a lot of time. It is better if there are a small number of tender tea leaves in the early stage. Once the number is large, frying the tea will be very laborious. If you can use a machine to fry the tea, it would be the best.

In addition to the tea roasting machine, the deputy mayor also mentioned the tools for picking tea.

When picking old tea, the villagers plucked them handful by handful. Only in this way could they be efficient enough. Since they could pluck them, they could also use tools. As long as they made tools similar to large scissors, they could cut off large handfuls of tea leaves in a short time.

The tools are easy to make and can improve efficiency, so the village chief immediately agreed to make them.

During the conversation between the two, the village chief also vaguely realized the deputy mayor's plan. Most people in the town knew about their deal, but they turned a blind eye.

The reason why they are willing to take the initiative now is that the South already has special economic zones and has even begun to attract foreign investment.

In addition, there is even the issuance of individual business licenses.

Even though it has not been fully liberalized, all this means that there will be great changes in the future. In this case, the town government is naturally willing to give it a push to promote the development of the tea and coffee businesses, and also hopes to promote the overall development of the town through these two businesses.

…

“Bought from China?”

"Yes," Tang Yuan nodded calmly, "I have a friend doing business in Hong Kong, and he helped me ask around. China has a lot of tea, and I also have a clothing business, so I need to ship the goods from Hong Kong, so it's a good idea to send them together."

As your business grows, you will inevitably encounter inspectors.

Fortunately, Tang Yuan had formalized all the businesses under his name early on, and even the clothes handed over to the small shop managed by Xue Shiqi had transportation channels from Hong Kong.

The only problem is that with such a formal channel, she can no longer "double the shipments", that is, add a little bit of goods, add 30% to 50%, fortunately there is still profit.

The two of them looked at all the information and spoke in low voices with their heads down.

"No problem, all the formalities are complete, it's imported."

"That's fine... By the way, you brought so much tea here, don't let it go bad. This needs to be checked, too."

"Of course, there are people checking at the beverage factory. All the tea leaves that are expected to be made into beverages are there. If there are any problems, they will be checked," Tang Yuan said. "In the beverage business, we know what to do."

"That's good." After the two men finished their investigation, they gave her the list, turned around and drove away.

Seeing the two people leave, Tang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing that the two people did not ask her where the tea leaves were stored, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain.

But when she thought about it, her tea was stored in the game space, which saved her a lot of storage costs. So, it could be considered a profit.

Not long after the inspector left, the car sent by Mona arrived at the door.

Since the clothing factory in the mainland officially started operations, the cost of her clothes has been reduced a lot. Compared with the clothes that cost more than ten yuan in Hong Kong, the cost of clothes in the mainland can almost be counted as just the cost of fabrics.

After all, the monthly salary of workers in the mainland is only more than 40 yuan, while in Hong Kong, the monthly salary is more than 1,000 yuan. Even if calculated at a conversion rate of five times, the salary in the mainland is only 200 Hong Kong dollars.

But even so, the clothing factory still has a lot of expenses every month.

There are five or six hundred workers, and each of them earns 40,000 yuan a month. Just the wages alone cost her more than 20,000 yuan. Fortunately, it is now possible to exchange money directly in the mainland, otherwise she would have to worry about selling her clothes to the United States and receiving US dollars.

Thinking back now, the days when we were running around and lacked RMB, Hong Kong dollars, and US dollars seem so far away.

…

"Boss, these are the garment makers who came to apply for the job. They are the most skilled ones. By the way, the two who came back from the mainland have already started working."

The two people who came back from the mainland were specially recruited by Tang Yuan from other clothing factories. After recruiting them, they were sent to the mainland to be taught how to make clothes.

After the course was completed, they found that the salary level and living habits in the mainland were very different from what they were used to, so they returned to Hong Kong.

It wouldn't be suitable to be placed anywhere else, so it's just right in the studio.

These garment makers are highly skilled, but they are not valued in ordinary small factories and their salaries are not high. However, the studio's sales are getting better and better, and it is in need of garment makers with good skills.

Tang Yuan lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand. When he turned to one of the photos, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Is this person here?"

The other party stretched his head and took a look: "Yes."

"Let her in." Tang Yuan said with a smile.

After a while, a man who walked cautiously was brought in. The moment he saw Tang Yuan, his eyes widened immediately: "It's you?"

"It's really you. Come, sit down," Tang Yuan pointed at the chair in front of him, "Liang Meiyi, I think I remembered your name correctly?"

This person was none other than the girl with whom Tang Yuan chatted a lot when she first came to Hong Kong.

"Yes, yes, you are not mistaken, I...I..."

"Don't be nervous. I've seen your level," Tang Yuan pulled out the other party's information. "You are amazing. You work so hard in other people's factories, and your level is already so high."

"No, I just like to do some random research," Liang Meiyi said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect to see you here."

As she spoke, she looked carefully and saw that the person in front of her was just smiling at her. She immediately mustered up the courage to tell him about her situation.

It's not a complicated matter, after all, it hasn't been that long.

A few years ago, Liang Meiyi switched to work in a clothing factory because of the low wages in the small shop. The wages in the clothing factory were high, but the job was boring and no one wanted to chat with her. She was bored, so she started to study how to make clothes better.

Over time, I naturally reached a certain level, but no one appreciated it.

But just when she thought that this would be her life, she saw a job advertisement.

Not only is the salary high, but more importantly, there is more room for development and more difficult challenges.

"I want to give it a try. Maybe I won't stay in a garment factory all my life." Liang Meiyi put her hands on her knees, pursed her lips, and looked at Tang Yuan timidly.

Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her and asked, "What if it doesn't work?"

"If it fails, I... I will practice again!" Liang Meiyi said, her tone changing from cautious to firm.

"Then give it a try," Tang Yuan took the initiative to extend his hand. "I can't guarantee that you can stay, but you can try. If it doesn't work this time, come back next time, okay?"

Liang Meiyi looked at her hand, then looked at her again, stretched out her hands to hold her hands, and responded excitedly: "Yes!"

Liang Meiyi went out, and after a while, designer Tina came in and sat directly in front of her: "That girl is not bad, you guys know her, why don't you agree to let her stay, now she looks very nervous."

"She has her own abilities, so she won't stay here just because of me," Tang Yuan said with a smile, holding his chin in his hand. "Everyone can find what they want because of their own abilities, and so can she. I think she would be happier to stay here with her own abilities than to stay here because of our previous friendship."

"What if she can't?"

"If she can't do it..." Tang Yuan still held his chin, "If she can't do it, she will be very miserable in our studio. The requirements of Hong Kong beauties are getting higher and higher. I believe you also know that they always hope that we can make clothes that can better set off their beauty."

“This is too difficult,” Tina sighed. “Boss, the better the studio develops, the harder it is for me.”

"I'll give you processing fees."

"Okay, no problem!" Tina immediately stood up, and before turning around and leaving, she blinked at Tang Yuan and said happily in a long voice, "Thank you, boss~"

Tang Yuan laughed: "Remember this yourself, I will give you an extra 2,000 yuan per month."

Tina immediately stretched out her hand to make an "OK" gesture, and walked out of the door with the sound of "clicks, clicks". You could even feel her happiness from the sound of her footsteps.

After she left, Tang Yuan held his chin and thought.

If she has a friend who is a big boss, she will definitely hope that the other party will let her work in the big company unconditionally, of course, if it is the kind of job that allows her to lie down and do nothing.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of a big company.

In her previous life, she did not have any outstanding abilities. She lived an ordinary life and just muddled through. She just wanted to survive and occasionally set up a stall to earn a little money.

Her goal was to buy a small house and live in it, but before that day came, she traveled through time.

But until now she couldn't remember why she traveled through time.

It seemed that she just woke up and appeared in the body of "Tang Yuan".

Then, I was in a hurry to prepare to escape, and had no time to think about what happened before the time travel.

Why on earth did she travel through time?
