That's what they said, but they both understood Director Cao's difficulties and naturally hoped that Gu An'an could lend a hand.
Gu An'an never refuses money-making opportunities that come knocking on her door. "Don't worry, Director Cao, if there are suitable clients, I will definitely take you there."
"Okay, okay."
Factory Director Cao was overjoyed; he loved this kind of composed and unhurried child.
Since Gu An'an had already agreed, Factory Manager Cao led her to his stall and began introducing his products one by one.
The soap factory's products weren't particularly outstanding, and its competitiveness wasn't as strong as the garment factory's, but since everyone was in the same boat, it wasn't entirely without competitiveness.
After gaining a clear understanding of the situation, Gu An'an left the trade fair with Xiao's father and the others.
As soon as they left the venue, the group exchanged glances and asked the staff for directions. After getting the answers they wanted, they quickly headed towards their destination.
"Old Xiao, you just said your leg hurt, you lied to me!"
"Hehe, don't you know the principle of 'all's fair in war'? First come, first served. Don't blame me if you're slow."
The two of them are a hundred years old combined, but they look no different from three-year-old children.
When Gu An'an and the others arrived, the two had already finished their phone call and were standing aside waiting for them.
Qin Rui spent the entire afternoon by the phone, and even when he went to the toilet, he did it as quickly as possible.
"Ring ring ring".
The phone rang, and Qin Rui picked up the microphone as quickly as possible. At the same time, his colleagues also moved closer, and even the secretary next door ran over without being notified.
"Gu Zhiqing, is that you?"
The sound was somewhat distorted when it came through the microphone, but Gu An'an could still hear the urgency in his voice.
"It's me, Brother Qin."
Before Qin Rui could say anything more, the phone was taken by the Party Secretary beside him. "An'an, it's me, Lao Liu. How's it going today?"
Honestly, his mind was wandering to Guangzhou all day. If it weren't for his responsibility as a commune secretary, he would have stayed glued to the phone like Xiao Qin.
It won't take long for Secretary Liu to become Old Liu.
"Secretary Liu, I have successfully completed my mission."
Upon hearing those four words, Secretary Liu's heart immediately settled down. Hearing Gu An'an mention the odd number and the amount of money, he could no longer simply describe his relief as "feeling at ease."
As soon as Gu An'an reported each item, he silently added a number in his mind. After Gu An'an finished reporting all the items and the total price, Secretary Liu slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "710,000 US dollars! An'an, on behalf of all the people of the commune, I thank you!"
“Secretary Liu, this is not my achievement alone. Whether it’s the people who stayed in Hongqi Commune or those who came to Guangzhou, they all worked hard for this event. Hongqi Commune deserves such a good result.”
Secretary Liu was almost moved to tears by these words. How fortunate the Red Flag Commune was to have such a young intellectual as Gu.
"Okay, okay, you're a good kid. Be careful in Guangzhou. Always have two people with you when you go out. Don't let anything happen to you, understand?"
Gu An'an nodded in agreement, "Please tell the village chief that we may still have more orders for bamboo bags, so we must speed up production and not miss the delivery deadline."
Secretary Liu understood the importance of this matter. After hanging up the phone, he went to Xiaowang Village again to bring back the good news. "Tomorrow I will convene a meeting with the village cadres of each village and have them send all the villagers in their villages who are good at bamboo weaving to you. You can have someone test them. If they are suitable, they can stay and work in the bamboo products factory. If they are not suitable, they can be sent back directly. If they are not satisfied, let them come to me."
"If you encounter any problems in production that you can't solve, you can come to me. We'll discuss them together. You absolutely can't hold Gu Zhiqing back, you hear me?"
The village chief and the village party secretary were so excited they didn't know what to say, all they did was nod. Their silly expressions made Secretary Liu a little uneasy.
But he himself has a lot of work to do and can't stay here for long, so he can only come and visit from time to time.
As soon as Secretary Liu left, the villagers who had heard the news came to inquire about it. After hearing about Gu An'an's great achievements, they were all extremely excited.
Although no one in their family knows bamboo weaving or embroidery, the factory is in the village, so how could they not get some dividends if they made money?
"Gu Zhiqing is really amazing! At first, no one thought that those things could be sold for money. It was her idea. And now, in such a short time, our village is about to set up a factory."
"That's right. It's a blessing that Gu Zhiqing came to our village. I went to visit relatives the other day, and they surrounded me and were very envious. In the past, there was no such good thing."
"Village chief, did Gu Zhiqing say how the other products are selling? My family still has a lot of stockpiled goods."
Secretary Liu didn't say anything, which meant they definitely hadn't sold out, but the village chief didn't think so. "Old Liu, why are you in such a hurry? It's only the first day. Everything has to be done step by step. With Gu Zhiqing's abilities, are you worried that those things won't sell?"
"You guys, go do what you're supposed to do and don't cause me any trouble. If anyone dares to cause me trouble at this critical juncture, don't blame me for being rude to them."
"Let's all work hard, and at the end of the year we'll share the money and meat, and make sure everyone has a prosperous New Year."
With a combination of kindness and strictness, everyone's eyes lit up, and they kept promising to cooperate well with the production.
Meanwhile, Xiao's mother also received good news.
When she heard that the order had been placed, she wasn't too surprised. After all, she was in this industry and had a general understanding of the domestic market. If foreign buyers didn't like the clothes designed by An'an, it was definitely their own problem.
Even though she was confident, she was still surprised by the sales volume.
While the production manager was busy arranging for people to work overtime after finishing the phone call, she thought for a moment and then dialed Xiao Yuheng's number.
Xiao Yuheng was still engrossed in the upcoming martial arts competition, writing something in his notebook. Hearing the phone ring, he picked it up casually and said, "Hello."
“Aheng”.
Upon hearing his mother's voice, Xiao Yuheng immediately put down his pen. "Mom, what brings you here today?"
Ever since I started dating someone, my mother's phone calls have been coming in more and more frequently.
"The reason I have time to call is because I'm afraid you'll lose your boyfriend."
Xiao Yuheng was helpless. Every time his mother called, it was about this topic. He was getting a little frustrated. Did his mother really think he was a man with no charm at all, a man who couldn't even keep his wife?
