"Hey, Maizi, the new factory has so many departments, and each department has specific responsibilities. I've handed over all the work I used to do. Now I just sit back and supervise everyone's work. What's so tiring about it? I feel like I have a lot more free time these days than before, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
Cheng Maixiang knew she was telling the truth.
In the past, in addition to inspecting clothes, she was also responsible for warehouse management and doing month-end accounting. She was really busy like a **. Now that these three responsibilities have been handed over, and she doesn't have to worry about factory orders, it is indeed much easier than before.
"By the way, I've sorted out all the clothes you'll need to open your clothing store. Please check if there are any problems. If there are no problems, I'll have Qingyun's wife take them to the county and send them to you."
In this era, there was no logistics industry like in later generations. Basically, transportation was done by state-owned enterprises, which implemented fixed pricing. However, for collective enterprises like garment factories, logistics basically did not accept their orders, so they had to find ways on their own.
So Cheng Maixiang had to rely on the post office for delivery, but the goods took a long time to travel, and if she wanted it fast, she would have to pay a higher price, which was not cost-effective.
Fortunately, because the factory was elected as an advanced collective in the city, Secretary Song from the county paid special attention to the garment factory. Only then could the clothes sent to Guangzhou be shipped by train, which not only shortened the time but also made the price affordable.
As for the clothes to be sent to the provincial capital, because the quantity was small, she could not trouble Secretary Song again, so she could only choose the old method of sending them through the post office.
Considering that shipments might become frequent in the future and the village tractors were busy delivering bricks to customers, Cheng Maixiang asked Secretary Song to buy her a second-hand tractor and also hired a driver.
In addition to delivering goods to the garment factory, this driver also helped deliver bricks to the brick kiln when the factory did not need any delivery. Cheng Maixiang paid him 30 yuan a month.
"Mom, I'm only back for a short time this time. I'll stay home for a few more days during summer vacation to organize a team-building trip with all the employees in the factory to the suburbs to strengthen our relationship."
Cheng's mother didn't understand what team building meant, but she understood that everyone in the factory was going out to play together.
Just imagine dozens of people going out for fun together, that seems like a very interesting thing.
"Okay, I'll listen to you then." Cheng's mother said with a smile.
"Mom, you should take it easy on yourself. Don't talk about my brother, he's stealing work from the people below. If you have something to do, just assign it to your subordinates. You are the factory manager after all, and dozens of people under you still depend on you for their livelihood."
Seeing her daughter constantly worrying about her being tired, Cheng's mother felt warm in her heart, "Mom is not tired, really. This garment factory is like another child of mine. You and I built it up and brought it up. Seeing it grow and become more and more successful, Mom is so happy, so she is not tired at all."
"Okay, then I'm relieved." Cheng Maixiang nodded. "Mom, since you're not tired, remember to recruit the remaining 35 people within a month. The remaining sewing machines will be delivered soon."
Cheng's mother: "......"
