Chapter 198: Finding a Printing Factory
Director Kong thought, he was right, the people from the Zhongxing Brigade really climbed up the pole.
The commune secretary pondered for a moment and said, "There is no printing factory in our county. We have to go to the provincial capital. It's easy to get a letter of introduction, but you have to contact them yourself."
The commune can't really help much with finding a printing factory.
Captain Tang said, "Of course, thank you very much, Secretary. Secretary, you really helped us a lot. When our non-staple food factory opens in the future, we will definitely not forget your contribution."
After the meeting, the commune secretary, Captain Tang and others continued to discuss matters, but several other cadres, including Shen Xiangbei, did not stay as they all had their own things to do.
The first priority is sales.
The smoked meat they make tastes good but is expensive, and their target consumer group is workers who lack material supplies but have spare money.
In fact, in addition to smoked meat, their food factory can also sell dried vegetables, jar vegetables, etc. But these things are too common and have no technical content. Shen Ruoqing told Shen Xiangbei that they want to make smoked meat the trump product of Zhongxing Food Factory, and use Zhongxing smoked meat to open up the market and increase its popularity.
Shen Ruoqing set the price of bacon high. The village accountant thought that their bacon was more expensive than ordinary bacon and might not sell well. But Shen Ruoqing insisted that their products were worth the price. There were so many kinds of seasonings for marinating meat. If the price was not set higher, how could they make money? Now, because of the good relationship with the county supply and marketing cooperative, Director Wang of the supply and marketing cooperative agreed to purchase the bacon from Zhongxing Non-staple Food Factory after receiving two packs of good cigarettes from Shen Ruoqing.
But purchasing by the supply and marketing cooperatives alone is not enough.
Shen Ruoqing went to see Brother Biao again.
Brother Biao didn't dare to underestimate Shen Ruoqing this time. He still remembered that last time, Shen Ruoqing just asked him some questions and asked him to investigate some small matters, and the deputy secretary of the county party committee was dismissed.
He served the best tea and asked, "Sister Ruoqing, if you have any problem, just tell me. Brother Xiaoliu and I are like brothers, and I treat you as my own sister. If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will definitely help you get it done."
Shen Ruoqing smiled softly: "Brother Biao, I do have something I want to ask you for help. I remember that Brother Biao is working in the Planning Bureau now?"
Brother Biao nodded: "Yes, it's in the Planning Bureau."
Shen Ruoqing took out the bacon.
"This is bacon produced by our own food factory. Try it."
Shen Ruoqing didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Brother Biao knew what Shen Ruoqing meant when Shen Ruoqing was halfway through his speech.
"Sister Ruoqing, do you have any more of this smoked meat? Give me some more." Brother Biao touched his chin. Although Brother Biao was a leader in the Planning Bureau, these things had to be given to other leaders to taste.
Shen Ruoqing knew that the matter was almost done, so he took out some bacon from his bag.
"I'll leave that thing here. I'll trouble you, Brother Biao."
The planning tasks of the Planning Bureau are more effective than their words. With the cover of the Planning Bureau, their bacon will have a wider market.
When Shen Ruoqing came back, he heard that Shen Xiangnan had actually won an order.
"Brother, sure! It looks like you'll be promoted to sales director."
Shen Xiangnan touched his head embarrassedly and said, "This is not just my achievement. In fact, the main credit goes to the third child. When the third child was learning about tractors at the Agricultural Machinery Bureau, he was quite familiar with their coach. Then I asked around and found out that the coach was also the director of logistics. So I took the third child and took the gifts to find the director of logistics. Our bacon is of good quality and tastes great. Besides, everyone is short of oil and water at this time. The welfare benefits of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau are good, so it's not surprising that they ordered it."
"How much did you order?"
"It's five hundred kilograms."
Five hundred kilograms was not a small amount, Shen Xiangbei was very happy, and he directly made Shen Xiangnan the sales director. With this order, no one would gossip about it.
After the county approved his plan, Shen Xiangbei packed up and prepared to go to the printing factory in the provincial capital.
Shen Ruoqing knew that Shen Xiangbei was going to the provincial capital, and said, "Fourth brother, why don't you take me with you?"
Shen Ruoqing wanted to go with him.
Shen Xiangbei touched Shen Ruoqing's head and said, "Don't you have to go to school tomorrow? Why, you don't want to go to class?"
"I'll ask Han Song to take two days off for me. I want to go with you."
"Yes, Guaibao has never been to the provincial capital, so you can take her with you. It would be good to take her there to broaden her horizons." said Old Mrs. Ji.
Since Old Lady Ji said so, Shen Xiangbei naturally agreed.
After getting the letter of introduction, Shen Ruoqing and Shen Xiangbei boarded the bus to the printing factory in the provincial capital.
The smell on the bus was still strong, so Shen Xiangbei specially brought some orange peels for Shen Ruoqing, which made Shen Ruoqing feel much better.
After arriving at the place, they still had to walk for more than ten minutes before reaching the printing factory.

However, the printing factory in the provincial capital obviously did not value people from such a small place as them. After they explained their purpose, only one clerk received them.
After all, the leaders of the plastic factory came to receive them, but I didn’t expect that the printing factory didn’t take them seriously at all.
But at this time, Shen Xiangbei knew that he couldn't lose his temper.
He patiently took out Yang Pingfang's manuscript and stated his demands.
The clerk agreed verbally, but at the end he said, "But our factory's production workshop is busy right now. If we want to complete your order, it will take some time."
How can this take a while? They have already received the order. If the packaging is not done well, won’t it take a long time? “Comrade, can you be flexible? We need it urgently. I wonder if you can work overtime to catch up?”
"I can't just add more money just because I want to. There are several orders ahead of you."
Shen Xiangbei wanted to say something, but when he thought that the other party was just a small clerk and probably didn't have the power to make decisions, he stopped talking.
Shen Ruoqing asked: "How long will it take to complete our order?"
The clerk said, "I'm not sure about the exact time, but it should be at least two months later, right?"
Two months is such a long time!
Shen Xiangbei's eyebrows were furrowed.
"Comrade, these two months are really too long. Can you think of other ways? Or I would like to meet the production director of your factory..."
"Our production manager is busy right now and has no time to meet with guests."
"Comrade, we are really in a hurry. Look, this is the bacon produced by our factory. The order has been placed. If we lose the order due to packaging problems, it will be a big delay." Shen Ruoqing stuffed two bags of bacon into the clerk's hand, along with two packs of good cigarettes. "When is the production director free? Let's meet and talk. It won't delay anything."
