She smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, speculation and profiteering will lead to life in prison, but we don't have the guts to do that."
What's more, she couldn't come up with the payment of nearly 100,000 yuan for the cotton even if she sold her husband.
Meng Jianshe was annoyed: "I'll be your guarantor. She's not a 'trader'. At most, she's a cunning person who dares to bribe me and my students with baked buns."
Xiao Jiahua: “…”
Meng Jianshe sighed inwardly. Actually, he didn't understand why he was so infected by his young wife's smile yesterday and agreed to help on impulse!
Forget it, I’ve helped.
After this joke, Jiang Taichuan finally felt relieved.
In fact, he was looking forward to promoting this cooperation.
Although the long-staple cotton in Ti County is good, the planting area is small and the production profit is low. The cotton spinning mills that cooperate with these countries are limited to this place and the surrounding Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.
At present, the main raw materials of the domestic textile industry are still the traditional cotton grown in the Jianghuai and North China regions. The long-staple cotton in southern Xinjiang is far less influential.
No matter how good the cotton is, it must be put into textile production so that it can be constantly tested, improved and promoted.
Jiang Taichuan once conducted a survey and found that Taifeng County is an economically strong county. The county’s State Cotton Mill and Supply and Marketing Corporation are both model units.
In particular, the National Cotton Mill in Taifeng County has advanced cotton spinning equipment and weaving technology that far exceeds that of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and is even not inferior to the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta.
Cooperating with them to produce long-staple cotton from southern Xinjiang is undoubtedly a win-win situation.
In the long run, compared with the benefits of cooperation, the little transportation cost in the middle is nothing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Taichuan simply decided: "I will call the group leader at noon today to report the specific cooperation arrangements."
Seeing that there was a chance, Xiao Jiahua raised the key question at the right time, "We have no shortage of money, but transportation is a problem for nearly 100 tons of cotton."
If we follow ordinary passenger transport, after ten days or so, the opportunity will be gone.
Jiang Taichuan thought about it and said, "This is not difficult. There is a direct military train from southern Xinjiang to Shanghai, which is specially used to pick up young people supporting the border areas and transport strategic materials. If there are other freight needs, you can apply to the leader to borrow a train, and then stop in Taifeng County."
Direct military trains are fast, make fewer stops, and can shorten the journey by one or two days, making them an excellent choice.
"That's settled then, Captain Jiang, we'll be waiting for your good news!"
Xiao Jiahua stretched out his hand with satisfaction.
.
Holding his breath, Xiao Jiahua arrived at the guesthouse, where he was finally able to let himself go and lie down on the bed to catch up on some sleep.
The aches and pains from yesterday had not yet gone away and she was extremely sleepy, but Tong Qifang surrounded her and couldn't stop talking.
"Xiaoxiao, this will happen today in all likelihood. Tell me, how come you are so smart that you can think of treating the educated youth to baked buns?"
Xiao Jiahua held his forehead with his hand: "Actually, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to treat the students to a good meal. It was totally unexpected that Team Leader Meng would change his mind and help us."
Although she had lived a life of luxury in her previous life and had never seen a pig run, she had eaten pork.
"Those kids came from Shanghai and were able to go to college, so their families must be well-off. When they arrived at the frontier, the Corps uniformly allocated accommodation, issued military uniforms and daily necessities. As for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, I'm afraid the only thing missing is 'food'."
Food is the most important thing for people. Only when people have enough food can they talk about feelings, creation, and even morality.
As for speaking Shanghainese, it is even more of a coincidence. Xiao Jiahua simply touched their hearts in the simplest way.
Tong Qifang is a person who survived a natural disaster, so after hearing what Xiao Jiahua said, he naturally felt the same way.
"Xiaoxiao, when we get to Taifeng County, I'll buy some Guanshengyuan snacks and White Rabbit candies and send them to them. They're all Shanghai specialties, and the kids will definitely like them."
After all, who doesn’t miss the taste of home?
