Tian Yuzhu listened to Wang Xiudie and took a nap before getting up and going to Shuochi Town.
The two chatted as they walked, and she regarded the half-hour journey as her own exercise.
I didn't dare to get on an ox cart when I saw one on the road. It would be terrible if it got bumpy with my big belly.
After arriving in town, I naturally went directly to Qin Xu's office.
Qin Xu had just returned from literacy work. He had just entered the office and taken two sips of tea when he saw them and hurriedly stood up to pour water.
"Comrade Qin Xu, stop busying yourself and take a seat. We have something important to ask you." Wang Xiudi took the cup from him, then thought again: "No, I'd better go get some water. Yuzhu needs some. I'll get some water while you two chat."
After she left, Tian Yuzhu asked directly about the sewing machine.
Qin Xu said, "I've tried very hard to bring this up with the mayor, but he didn't seem to react. So, since you're here, why not tell him your thoughts face to face? Maybe you can convince him."
Tian Yuzhu stood up and said, "Okay, then you can introduce him to me."
Tian Yuzhu had met the new mayor two or three times. Apart from his personality, she could tell that he was indecisive.
He certainly doesn't have the courage to get things done, let alone boldly implement new policies.
But Tian Yuzhu still wanted to give it a try.
After arriving at the mayor's office, it wasn't the first time they met. After a few pleasantries, Tian Yuzhu got down to business: "I just came back from the provincial capital a few days ago. Clothes sales there are booming."
"Besides, the sales of goods in Beijing are also very good. We have hundreds of orders right now. Mayor, if you can help me build a factory directly in town, it will definitely solve the employment problems of many young people in the future."
"While farming is important, industry can also bring in money. If some members of a family work in farming while others work in garment factories, the local economy will definitely improve as both sides are encouraged."
"By then, the people of Shuochi Town will have a better life, but that will be your achievement, Mayor!"
After the garment factory was built, life became better for local people.
It has nothing to do with me, Tian Yuzhu. It is entirely your achievement as the mayor.
What? Do you want to stay in this small town forever without getting a promotion?
When the new mayor heard this, he began to waver.
Ever since he came to Shuochi Town, everything that happened was terrible.
The earthquake relief work was ineffective, and the follow-up support work was slow, etc.
In short, he performed very poorly in the eyes of his superiors during this period.
So he also wanted to do something to restore his image.
Qin Xu said, "Mayor, I think Comrade Tian Yuzhu is right. Changing a place's economy often only requires a wise leader. I also believe that she will succeed."
"That's a good thing." The mayor began to waver.
He drummed his fingers on the table. "So how many sewing machines do you plan to buy?"
"Ten."
What does ten sewing machines mean? It is equivalent to a worker’s total salary for three or four years.
Such a large investment shocked the mayor: "You have so much money?"
Qin Xu was also worried about her: "Or take it slow, start with two or three."
"Don't worry about the funding. My clothes are selling well in the provincial capital, so naturally people will invest in them. As long as you can help me get the stock, a few more will be no problem."
Tian Yuzhu was very calm and composed.
It is not difficult for her to come up with two or three thousand yuan now, and she even wants to buy a few more.
The new mayor was afraid that the exaggeration would be too great and would be frightened and hesitate.
She casually made up a story about having an investor, and both the new mayor and Qin Xu felt relieved.
The new mayor pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go directly to the county town for your matter. I'll have to ask the department store there to directly transfer the goods. There are really too many, but I'll try my best to get you the more the better."
"That's great. Thank you, Mayor. It's a blessing for me and the people of Shuochi Town to have such a wise leader like you."
Tian Yuzhu bowed deeply, almost making Qin Xu laugh.
Tian Yuzhu had already made preparations regarding the money.
She got US dollars in Myanmar. Later, when she was in Awu Village, One-Eyed Dragon helped her exchange them into Chinese currency.
Now he took out three thousand yuan and placed it neatly in front of the new mayor, and the man stared at him.
With his salary, he had never seen so much money piled up together.
He quickly said seriously, "Hey, I won't deal with money matters. When the goods arrive, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to settle the bill. Once the account is settled, it will be a matter between you two!"
He looks very serious, and this is an office, so I'm worried about the bad influence.
Tian Yuzhu said, "I'm sorry."
Quickly pack up the money.
Is she such a frivolous person?
She just showed the money on purpose to let the new mayor know that she had the ability and that he could just purchase the goods with confidence.
Seeing her put the money away, the new mayor coughed pretentiously and said, "By the way, Xiao Qin, take her to see the grain storage rooms. If she likes them, rent them to her."
The grain pile room is a small courtyard. In the past, the room was used to store the commune's agricultural tools and harvested grain.
Now that the land has been distributed to each household, everyone keeps their own farm tools, and the public houses in the town production team have become idle.
The new mayor dared to rent out the property because he saw other towns doing the same when he attended a meeting.
He was so brave as to do this this time. Anyway, for the sake of his political achievements, he was willing to give it a try.
After Qin Xu agreed to his request, he took Tian Yuzhu to get the key and met up with Wang Xiudie who was waiting for them in the yard.
Tian Yuzhu is not the kind of person who is ignorant of the times.
After taking the key and walking out of the town government gate, she went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative and asked Qin Xu to wait for her for a while.
She whispered something to Jinju.
Jin Ju nodded: "Don't worry, I can handle any matter."
After Tian Yuzhu, Wang Xiudie and Qin Xu went to see the house.
Jinju immediately wrapped two packs of Red Camellia cigarettes in oil paper, tucked them under her armpits, and went to the mayor's office.
"Mayor, you've told me several times about the goods you wanted. Today, they're finally available. I'm delivering them to you!"
After saying that, he put the cigarette on the desk.
Actually, there is no one else, I just say this for those who are interested.
The mayor choked. When did he say he wanted to buy cigarettes?
Just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, he saw Jin Ju shushing him. "Mayor, you've been so thoughtful of us ordinary people. This is a gift from the people to you. Please accept it. It would be inappropriate for me to take it out now."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
The new mayor was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses...
This Tian Yuzhu must be the one behind this.
But no matter what he thought, he was really afraid of being seen, and Jinju had left, so he had no choice but to quickly put it in the drawer.
