Liu Yalan is an expert in cotton spinning. When she meets someone who knows the business, she is happy and does not hide her knowledge.
She said proudly: "The material we use is introduced by my university classmates - extra-long cotton grown in the frontier! This kind of cotton fiber is longer, the weave loops are regular and full, it absorbs moisture well, and it is not easy to fall off!"
A word of advice can wake a person up from his dream. Why didn’t she think of frontier cotton?
The northwestern frontier, with its dry climate and abundant sunshine all year round, has always been a hotbed for cotton cultivation.
Especially in the late 1950s, Victory long-staple cotton was introduced and bred from the Soviet Union in the border areas. After more than ten years of development, there have been great breakthroughs in its varieties and properties.
This kind of cotton has more fluff and higher quality, and is known as the queen of cotton.
There is no doubt that long-staple cotton is the best raw material for producing cloth.
The confusion that had been lingering in his mind was resolved, and Xiao Jiahua was overjoyed. He quickly agreed on a cooperation with Liu Yalan.
Afterwards, she told Tong Qifang about the situation and decided to go on a business trip to the border to personally inspect the long-staple cotton producing areas.
Tong Qifang fully supported the idea of solving the raw material problem of work cloth and immediately decided that she would go with Xiao Jiahua.
Xiao Jiahua's decision was unprecedentedly bold and was undoubtedly opposed by Xu Deshun.
"Principal Manager, do you know how far the border is and how complicated the geography is? It's hard to say whether you can come back after you go there. It's just a foolish dream!"
In the general manager's office, Xiao Jiahua was severely criticized.
After Xu Deshun finished speaking, she slowly explained the reasons.
"Mr. Xu, the advantages of frontier cotton are becoming more and more prominent. With the expansion of the planting area, it will affect the entire textile industry in the future. This is the general trend!
"The duty of the supply and marketing cooperatives is to provide the people with better and more advanced products and services. If we don't use them, we will only fall behind our peers!
“Rather than being eliminated by the times, it is better to take the initiative to seize opportunities.”
Xiao Jiahua gave a final summary.
Xu Deshun also understood this principle.
The documents issued by the Ministry of Commerce contain a lot of information about frontier cotton, encouraging cotton spinning mills and garment factories in various places to improve production.
However, due to the remote location and language barriers, the survey plan has been shelved.
Xu Deshun was still worried. "You are a young wife. Even if the factory manager is here, it's not appropriate. If anyone wants to go, it should be Lao Qin or Lao Shi, grown men like them!"
Xiao Jiahua said: "Manager Qin just came out of the police station, and Manager Shi brought his family with him, and they couldn't get away. From this county to the border, there is only one train change, so there won't be any problems."
"That won't work either. What if something happens..." Xu Deshun paused, "Your family won't agree to let you go!"
Xiao Jiahua knew that he had been persuaded and smiled, "It doesn't matter, just keep it a secret for now to save them from worrying."
.
The matter was reported to the Commerce Bureau. Although the leaders did not approve of the business trip, they were still worried about letting the two female comrades, Xiao Jiahua and Tong Qifang, go.
Director Wang Zhanfa also repeatedly told Xu Deshun to arrange berths in advance and to be sure to give notice of every link.
After things were settled, it was much easier to convince the two little kids at home.
Xiao Jiahua went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought all the most popular food and toys, and brought home two big bags.
"Mom..." Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou came forward, and when they saw the wooden top and the spring gun, they seemed to have discovered the continent of He. The next second they let go of their old mother's hand.
Xiao Jiahua: “…”
Although these toys and snacks were enough for them to eat, drink and have fun for more than ten days, Xiao Jiahua was still worried, so he assigned the two children half a month's homework and asked Cui Lifen to supervise them every day.
"Dabao, Shitou, I'm a bit busy at work. I may not be able to come home or call for a week or two. You should stay at home and listen to grandma. Go to bed every day..."
Xiao Jiahua didn't say anything else. The two children had already been immersed in the "sugar-coated anesthetic", as happy as if it were Chinese New Year. No matter what Xiao Jiahua said, they could only make "um" and "ah" sounds and nodded foolishly.
