Chapter 33 Make your own soap (1/2)



Shi Fangzhu, the director of the Wuxing Soap Factory, came out of the finance office and received a call from the security guard.

Remembering that Mayor Liu had indeed said that the president of a supply and marketing cooperative would come to do research recently, he hurriedly asked the guard to invite the person in.

In the reception room, Director Shi was stunned when he saw Xiao Jiahua and Xu Minqiang. "Who is the president between you two?"

He is said to be older, but as he followed the girl, his eyes were dodgy and evasive, and he really didn't look like someone who could be in charge.

She is young, calm, confident, and elegant, but... too young.

Xiao Jiahua saw the real person and took off his bulging backpack.

When it comes to business, honesty is the most important thing.

She no longer wore a vest and admitted generously: "Hello, Director Shi, I am the acting director of the town supply and marketing cooperative, Xiao Jiahua."

After introducing Xu the purchaser, she stretched out her hand and said, "Director Shi, I'm here to buy soap from you. It's not easy to meet you."

"You're too polite, Principal!" Shi Fangzhu's old face turned red. He looked outside the door vigilantly and hid backwards.

What would happen if his wife saw him shaking hands with the little girl?

Xiao Jiahua smiled secretly. Director Shi was notoriously henpecked, and today's meeting had proven the truth.

As they chatted, Shi Fangzhu was surprised: "Our factory only has soap, and the soap has not been selling well. Is the supply and marketing cooperative sure to buy it?"

Due to technical problems, the soap they produced was of poor quality, and the soap was directly supplied to local coal mines.

Those people who are covered in black after work every day really need these for a shower.

In the past two years, with the decline in coal mine output and the reduction in the number of employees, the soap factory has become half-dead.

Xiao Jiahua smiled: "Sure, we came here today to order soap."

"How much?"

"Three thousand."

"What? The whole town only has 30,000 or 40,000 people! Not everyone can afford soap!"

"You also think that the order is too little?" Xiao Jiahua explained modestly, "We should test the waters for the first time and not be too aggressive."

Girl, you also know that you can’t be reckless! Three thousand bars of soap cannot be sold in a whole year in the whole town. Director Shi was so shocked by his own name.

He advised her to calm down: "With so much stuff, we have to report to our superiors first and get Mayor Liu's approval before we can move. Besides, the raw materials for making soap base also need time to prepare, at least seven days."

"Director Shi, don't scare me just because I'm young."

Xiao Jiahua said, "Everything is easy to deal with Mayor Liu. As for the materials...sodium stearate, which is used to make soap base, is made of caustic soda, salt and fat. It is cheap and common. If you don't even have this, it's like going to the battlefield without a gun. How can you keep up with the pace of socialist construction?"

Shi Fangzhu broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect this girl to be so professional. Most importantly, he cannot bear the accusation of "holding back socialist construction".

"It costs money to order soap, at least over two thousand."

Xiao Jiahua turned around and asked, "Purchaser Xu, how much money do we have in our account?"

Xu Minqiang told the truth: "The profit in the past six months has not been good. All the money has been used to make goods. I still owe the head office several hundred yuan in repayment..."

"There's no other way. We can only buy it on credit first." Xiao Jiahua looked at Director Shi in embarrassment.

"......!" Shi Fangzhu had never seen such a shameless person before, "So you want to get something for nothing? There is no such thing as credit in social justice!"

Xiao Jiahua spread his hands and said, "What a pity, the improved soap formula we worked so hard to obtain is now useless."

Improved formula of perfume and soap?

"Wait!" Director Shi held his chin back, "Principal, I think we can talk about this further..."
