Seeing Zhou Tingyue looking at her, she blushed and hurriedly explained.
"Think about it, I asked Xiao Cui and the others to recruit team leaders. We've recruited so many people, so we have to make use of them. Selling clothes from the garment factory is also selling, so why not sell a few more things? Now that reform and opening up have come, the factories in the south are having a huge impact on our inland state-owned factories. Many factories can't even pay their workers' wages! I'm helping them out!"
"Ordinary people can also buy things cheaper, so why not?"
After hearing her words, Zhou Tingyue smiled and reached out to scratch her nose.
"You, I don't know where you get all these business acumen! Are you going to expand your business?"
Although he didn't know how much money she earned exactly, and he gave her his monthly salary, Zhou Tingyue had a vague guess in his heart that she would probably earn enough to pay his salary in a few days, not to mention cooperating with so many factories in the future!
I'm afraid their family is not far from becoming a millionaire!
He wiped her feet with a towel and helped her lie down on the bed.
Zhou Tingyue sighed, "It's not that I don't support you doing business. You can do whatever you want. But while you're doing it, you must take good care of yourself. You have four little ones in your belly! Their lives are in your hands!"
Song Shiwei touched her belly and smiled: "I know! Of course I know, didn't I ask Xiao Cui to follow me? But who could have thought it would suddenly rain heavily!"
She really misses modern smartphones. When you open the weather, it will clearly tell you whether it will rain in the next two hours!
What a pity, in this era, let alone mobile phones, even pagers are not popular in mainland China!
Listening to the sound of rain outside, I nestled in Zhou Tingyue's arms and had a sound sleep.
I thought this would stop the next day, right?
Who knew that the rain would last for three days in a row?
It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that the sky cleared up completely.
Xiao Cui and her friends have been very busy these days. She and Gousheng rode their tricycles in the rain and visited all the group leaders. When they heard that in addition to clothing, they could also sell other things and get commissions, they became very motivated.
A lot of umbrellas and raincoats were sold, and several thousand sets of rubber boots were also ordered, which made the factory managers very happy. City people now have better-looking umbrellas and raincoats. The raincoats produced by their factory are big and thick. Although they are quite rainproof, city people don’t like them. Moreover, the colors are old-fashioned, either black or dark red, so many of them were taken off the counters.
They were all piled up in the warehouse. Fortunately, there was such a heavy rain, and thanks to the sales channels provided by Song Shiwei, almost half of the factory's inventory was cleared out in one go.
When Xiao Cui came over to tell her, she couldn't stop laughing: "Sister Weiwei, you don't know how happy those factory managers are! They said the factory has a bright future, and asked me to meet you, so I must express my gratitude to them! And those team leaders we recruited are more motivated than the other, going door to door every day, almost like salesmen!"
Song Shiwei stood at the door, breathing in the fresh air after the rain, and said with a smile: "It's good to be motivated, so that life will get better and better!"
Xiao Cui also nodded. "Yes, I feel like my life is going well. Sister Weiwei, you don't know, ever since we started cooperating with other factories, Gousheng and I have been able to get a lot of commissions in a day, so much that I can't even imagine it. Sister Weiwei, this is all thanks to you!"
Song Shiwei was about to say something when he saw her weaving something with a few rags in her hands.
"Xiao Cui, what are you doing?"
Seeing her eyes fall on the strip of cloth in her hand, Xiao Cui couldn't help but smile sheepishly and said, "This is the leftover scraps from the factory. There are a lot of them in the warehouse, and no one wants them. So I thought of making a rope to tie things with!"
When Song Shiwei heard this, a light flashed in his eyes.
She took the cloth strips from Xiao Cui's hand and looked at them. The cloth strips were made of high-quality cotton and were very absorbent.
As if she had thought of something, she hurriedly asked Xiao Cui: "You said there are a lot of cloth strips in the warehouse?"
Xiao Cui nodded: "Yes! This is leftover from making clothes. It's useless. There are a lot of them in the factory. Sister Weiwei, what's wrong?"
Song Shiwei looked at the strips of cloth and smiled.
Isn’t this a new way to make money?
"Xiao Cui, go back and ask Director Sun if he doesn't want this piece of cloth and see if he can sell it to me!"
Xiao Cui was so surprised: "Sister Weiwei, that's a huge pile. What do you need so many scraps of cloth for?"
Song Shiwei blinked and smiled: "Be a mop!"
“Be a mop??”
Xiao Cui opened her eyes wide in shock!
Look at the strip of cloth in his hand, then look at Song Shiwei.
Why didn't she think of it?
"Oh my god! Sister Weiwei, how did you come up with that? Do you have the same brain as me? I'm so curious, how come you are so smart!"
She slapped her head in frustration. "Compared to you, I feel like my brain is rusty! When I see scraps of cloth, I can only think of making a rope!"
After saying that, he chuckled.
"Sister Weiwei, wait a minute. I'll go to the factory and ask Director Sun!"
Song Shiwei nodded and smiled.
"Okay, if the price is right, you can buy it for me and have him find someone to help me transport the family compound! Also, go back to the village and ask if there are any strong laborers willing to earn a hard-earned living. If anyone is willing to go to the mountains and help me cut some straight wood to make mop poles, not too thick, just thinner than an adult's palm, I'll give them ten cents for each pole!"
The most difficult part of the entire mop is the mop handle. The wood must be straight and the bark must be scraped off. It's not expensive at only a penny per handle.
But Xiao Cui was very happy when she heard it.
"Okay, I'll go back to the village and ask now!"
At this time, the crops that need to be planted have already been planted. It is not the busy farming season, so every family is idle!
And what is the most abundant thing on the mountain? Of course, wood.
Especially for small trees like this, you can make two by cutting down one, and if it grows tall enough, you can even make three!
It doesn't cost anything! It just takes effort.
If you work hard, you can probably make dozens of them in a day, which means you can earn several dollars!
Who wouldn’t do such a good thing?
The daily wage for city dwellers is only a little over one dollar!
Xiao Cui left happily.
Sun Meimei happened to see it, she walked over with a smile and asked Song Shiwei.
"I just heard you guys talking about mops and cloths. What's going on? Weiwei, are you looking for another way to make money?"
Song Shiwei looked at her face full of anticipation and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Yes, you guessed it right. I have another way to make money!"
When Sun Meimei heard this, she was immediately excited. She loved listening to Song Shiwei talk about making money. She had been following her for some time and saw that she had made a lot of money. In the past two days, the staff quarters and several neighboring villages had also bought a lot of rain gear and rain boots, and she could get a lot of commission!
