As someone who has worked in the workplace, the first principle you must follow is not to talk about politics with others casually.
In later generations, this will give people a bad impression of being a master of keyboard politics, frivolous and arrogant.
And in this day and age, haha, being careful with what you say and do can save your life.
She nodded and resorted to nonsense attack, "You're right, your factory is really big."
Liu Xun suddenly felt bored, probably because he thought she was a greenhorn.
I was just starting out and didn't understand his hints.
So he didn't bother to get close to her anymore and took her directly to the factory warehouse.
There are special people guarding this place, and when they see him coming, they all stand up and greet him.
The cut toilet paper was packed in paper bags and stacked in piles, separated by cardboard every meter, all the way to the ceiling, which looked particularly spectacular.
Of course, nowadays toilet paper is almost entirely supplied to the working class. The most commonly used paper by people today is still straw paper, which is made from waste paper and is not steamed, sterilized, de-inked or bleached.
The finished product is the same yellow as corrugated paper. It is hard and extremely rough, but cheap and affordable. Some people still use it in rural areas in the 21st century.
People in rural areas in the 1960s were naturally reluctant to buy paper. The most commonly used materials were probably corn leaves and sorghum stalks. The former were easy to break and would prick the buttocks, while the latter could be cut into pieces about ten centimeters long, split in half, and used like toilet paper.
Some families cannot afford diapers, so they dry or fry fine sand and put it under the baby's butt. After the baby poops, the sand will be dry and odorless, and the soil can also be used to fertilize the fields.
Perhaps the inspiration for cat litter in later generations came from this?
Liu Xun touched the pile of paper, feeling quite proud. "Our factory's paper machine has been improved. Look at this paper, it's as white as snow and as soft as cotton. There's no shortage of buyers even if we sell it to Shanghai."
In He Ruixue's eyes, the paper in front of her was either yellowish or grayish in color, not soft enough, had many wrinkles, and obvious impurities could be seen.
Although it is not as good as he boasted, it is indeed first-class quality in this era.
It's much better than the toilet paper currently sold in department stores.
She glanced around the warehouse and said, "Are these the goods you plan to ship?"
"No, almost half of the warehouse is filled with straw paper at the back."
He Ruixue nodded.
Straw paper is usually sent to various supply and marketing cooperatives, or sold in various communes and brigades. Some couriers will do this part-time job.
When they delivered mail, they would often bring a pack of straw paper, earning a few cents from it and also making things convenient for the villagers.
He Ruixue calculated that half a warehouse was not a small amount and could support their store's purchasing volume for a month.
"Comrade Liu, I'd like to know. Since you're producing according to plan, even if there's any surplus, it shouldn't be this much, right?"
"Well, actually, these are what our factory has accumulated in the past six months. As you know, each time we produce more than planned, we use them as reserves.
Recently, our factory is planning to expand another plant, but due to tight funding, we have no choice but to sell off our inventory to fill the gap.”
He Ruixue squatted down and found that the paper underneath was covered with dust and had a dry texture. It had indeed been there for quite some time. She asked again, "Can I check the quality?"
Liu Xun paused and said, "Of course, Comrade He is very conscientious, but our papers are all neatly stacked, and it would be difficult to clean them up if they were messed up. Could you please pick a few to check?"
"It should be."
If the paper below cannot be pulled out, normal people will choose to check the paper on top to avoid causing trouble.
But He Ruixue is different. She is cautious in her bones. No matter how nice others say, if the goods have not passed through her hands, it means that the transaction cannot be established.
After all, if something went wrong with the goods she handled in her previous life, it could really cost lives.
It's not an exaggeration. Some people with ulterior motives, seeing that their company has its own cargo shipping routes and air transportation means, thought of mixing drugs into their cargo and bringing them into the country through them.
Is that something that anyone can touch? Even her boss didn't dare touch it, repeatedly urging them to keep a close eye on it, otherwise they would be thrown out by the company as cannon fodder.
But the methods those people used to hide things were really hard to guard against, and technology was constantly innovating. Although she was not from the inspection department, she had followed the whole process several times.
As a result, I have developed a keen eye, and just thinking about it makes me cry.
There isn't much else in the paper mill, but it has plenty of bamboo poles and wooden sticks.
She found a few sturdy sticks and moved a stone. Using the simple principle of leverage, she lifted a corner of the lower part of the pile of paper and then pulled half of it out.
Seeing Liu Xun's ugly expression, she thought she had damaged their goods and quickly said, "Comrade Liu, these are all considered normal losses, don't worry."
After saying that, she took the paper for testing, mainly testing the color, thickness and softness of the finished product, all of which were considered qualified.
It just can't withstand being pulled and will tear easily with a slight tear. Liu Xun also said that these papers have been stored for a long time and may have been damp.
He Ruixue did not comment, and turned around to test one more thing, which was the state after coming into contact with water.
Seeing her ask someone to bring a basin of water, Liu Xun's forehead began to sweat and his toes subconsciously pointed towards the door, which was body language indicating that he wanted to escape.
He Ruixue was a little confused, but didn't say anything and soaked the paper in water.
To her surprise, after being soaked in water, the paper fell apart in less than five seconds.
Wow, you have invented instant paper. In the future, you might be able to use the slogan "dissolves as soon as it enters water" to make it convenient for all toilet users.
In the 1960s, people paid great attention to the quality of paper they used. Many people used it to pad sanitary belts or to pad under the bodies of mothers during childbirth.
If the papers performed as she had in her experiments, she would be scolded.
Besides, sometimes when the weather is hot and we sweat a lot, if we use this paper to wipe it, won’t our hands leak some sweat?
That's not right. A lot of toilet paper from Fuxing Paper Factory has been sold in stores and it has always been very popular. I haven't seen anyone come to ask for returns or anything, which shows that the quality must be good.
She glanced at Liu Xun, reached out and took out a piece of paper from the top, and tested it again.
Sure enough, when thrown into the water, it just got wet and sank to the bottom, with no signs of dispersing, and its water absorption was obviously much stronger than the batch below.
He Ruixue stared at Liu Xun with a mischievous look in her eyes, but her tone was full of accusation. "Comrade Liu, I came here with a sincere attitude of cooperation, but you don't seem to be very honest."
At this moment, Liu Xun was like a fruit vendor who discovered that he had installed a magnet under the scale. He felt embarrassed and annoyed, and at the same time felt that she was looking for trouble.
"Comrade He, this is my oversight. I will definitely criticize the team leaders in the workshop for not reporting the problem with the goods."
He Ruixue didn't want to listen to him shirking responsibility. "This is your factory's internal affairs and has nothing to do with me. I just want to know how the next cooperation will proceed?
Comrade Liu, please be honest with me. If I were to inspect all the goods one by one, I would only be wasting everyone's time."
