It can be said that Ke Meiyu made a name for herself by taking advantage of the foreign language speech competition organized by the province, and became the savior of the entire provincial capital's people's foreign language proficiency.
Taking advantage of this momentum, Ke Meiyu led the original second group to gather students from various schools who had a positive learning attitude and a strong interest in foreign languages, becoming the first batch of pioneers.
She didn't embezzle a single penny of the money allocated by the various schools. Instead, she, Qin Yuanjiu, and their family used their spare time to find a construction team to repair the old house and then used the available materials to plan and renovate it. The walls were a light yellow color, giving people a warm and cozy feeling.
The window frames, roof beams, door frames, tables, chairs, and benches were all made of the same wood, raw wood with patterns, simple and elegant. The walls of the room were lined with bookshelves, all filled with various foreign language books and magazines donated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Of course, some of them were photocopies of books that she had secretly put into her own system store.
After all, there are very few foreign language books available now. Even with donations from the provincial foreign affairs department, they cannot fill the entire bookshelf. She specially made multiple copies of some books and bound them into volumes. The originals were stored in the warehouse for safekeeping, while the copies were numbered and placed on the bookshelf for everyone to borrow.
In order to make the Foreign Language Rally a success, she came up with many interactive methods. Some members would take promotional materials to various communities to promote foreign languages, starting with the most basic 26 letters and even assigning each person a responsibility area.
Learning a foreign language can be very tedious, especially for elderly people with low levels of education and workers with only a primary school education who are taking over their parents' jobs.
Ko Mei-yu dislikes wasting effort; if she's going to promote something, it has to be effective. Therefore, she teaches in the most concise and engaging way, passing it on to everyone through word of mouth. This includes things like the alphabet song, rhymes, fun dances, jokes, and so on.
They set up foreign language corners all over the city, and people of all ages could spout a few words.
Ke Meiyu was very busy, but she didn't forget her cousins. With spring plowing just around the corner, she sent a talisman bird, disguised as the Emperor Wangdi, to her family. She briefly explained the methods and advantages and disadvantages of renting various agricultural machines and mentioned her verbal agreement with the factory manager.
Salespeople from the machinery factory had already started going to the countryside to persuade people to rent agricultural machinery. This idea seemed very feasible, but when it came to reality, it faced serious problems. The villagers had a small-farmer mentality and wouldn't look too far ahead. They were very careful with every penny they had. Even if renting agricultural machinery had a promising future, they were unwilling to look at it!
As a result, the sales staff at the machinery factory talked themselves hoarse, but still didn't close many deals.
Factory Director Zhang was stunned when he heard his subordinate's report. He had originally wanted to work hard and get things done, but why did it fail to work before he even took a step?
I feel like I've been fooled by Ke Meiyu and Qin Yuanjiu.
They held numerous meetings, both large and small, but failed to find a solution, so they simply gave up and resigned themselves to their fate!
At this time, the Ke family boys and the Tang family boys resolutely quit their jobs at the brick factory, packed their bags without leaving themselves any way out, and began to travel to various towns and villages to persuade others.
Ke Meiyu had only given Director Zhang a rough suggestion before, without discussing the details of its implementation.
The same thing can lead to significant polarization due to the slightest difference.
That's why she was so confident in asking for jobs for her brothers even after giving her advice.
Even if Director Zhang disagreed at first, he had no choice but to agree for the sake of sales when he actually faced the problem.
So when Director Zhang and his colleagues were worried that their factory would have to close down or be swallowed up or changed to another factory, the young men from the Ke and Tang families came to their door with flushed faces and a thick stack of agreements.
Many villages are not actually that big. People can manage to cultivate the fields with a little effort and grit their teeth, so there is really no need to rent farm machinery. As for land reclamation, they can do it during the off-season. However, since the land is now collective property and everyone works together, the distribution of grain, work points, and money is related to the number of people and the amount of labor available. Cultivating more land would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Simply put, they have no reason to lavishly rent agricultural machinery.
The Ke and Tang family boys then took out pens and paper and started calculating the costs for them, converting labor into money, so that the farmers could see the real benefits of renting agricultural machinery.
They even offered numerous ways to save money and highlight the benefits, such as whether it's more cost-effective to buy or rent agricultural machinery, and how to get extra savings from renting agricultural machinery...
Which is more cost-effective, monthly rental or daily rental? How to arrange agricultural machinery during the off-season and busy season? These are some of the questions that need to be addressed.
The farmers were also eager to try it out, especially since poultry and livestock farming in Luofeng Village was already in full swing and gradually getting on track. The Ke and Tang family boys shared their poultry farming methods and welcomed everyone to visit and inspect Luofeng Village.
When agricultural machinery is in operation, it saves everyone a lot of energy and time, and this surplus labor force can be used to do these delicate tasks.
With this arrangement in place, who would want to be stuck in the fields forever?
As a result, the Ke family and Tang family boys all exceeded their rental targets, and some were even lucky enough to sell several farm machines before they even started working.
Faced with this group of money-makers, Factory Director Zhang naturally gave them a warm welcome and immediately fulfilled his promise to Ke Meiyu, processing their onboarding procedures and temporarily assigning them to relatively demanding sales positions. However, in addition to their base salary, their salaries also included a performance bonus linked to sales volume. As long as they could endure six months, they would all be unconditionally promoted to permanent positions.
