Jiang Shiyue quickly walked over and grabbed a worker wearing a garment factory uniform, "Comrade, what's going on?"
The worker turned around and saw Jiang Shiyue, very surprised: "Engineer Jiang? Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see Liu Yuanyuan. Is there any problem with the garment factory?"
"No, no. You saved our garment factory. Ever since you revived it this summer, we've been getting more and more orders. Now, companies from other provinces and cities are actively looking for us to cooperate. Our previous equipment is outdated, so Director Chen gritted his teeth and imported some new equipment from abroad. These..."
He pointed at the sewing machines that the workers had moved out and said, "The old sewing machines have been eliminated, so they are being moved out. I plan to dispose of them in a few days."
Jiang Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked into the workshop and saw that the new equipment in the workshop were all imported sewing machines, overlock machines, etc., all of which were electric, greatly improving production efficiency.
The old-fashioned sewing machines that have been eliminated are all foot-operated.
When Jiang Shiyue came out of the workshop, she saw Director Chen standing silently in front of the sewing machine that had just been moved out with a complicated expression on his face.
"Director Chen, congratulations!"
Director Chen turned around and saw Jiang Shiyue, and a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face. "Comrade Jiang Shiyue, why are you here?"
"Come and see you...you guys."
"Come on, come on, come sit in my office."
Jiang Shiyue followed Director Chen to his office.
This was not the first time Jiang Shiyue had come to Director Chen's office. The furnishings were still simple, but there were a few more pots of green plants. The sofa and coffee table in the negotiation area had been replaced, and a new set of tea sets was placed on them.
Jiang Shiyue patted the armrest of the sofa twice. "It seems that our garment factory has been doing really well recently. We've replaced the equipment and the leather sofas."
Director Chen smiled, his face gleaming with joy. "Thank you for all this. If it weren't for you, our factory would be gone now."
"You're so kind! You're a good leader."
Director Chen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't deserve such praise, and then changed the subject, "Are you back from winter vacation?"
Jiang Shiyue nodded, "Well, I didn't want you to come over and take a look."
Director Chen wasn't stupid enough to believe it, so he smiled and said, "Then come over more often. But you're always a busy man. If you really had nothing to do, I'm afraid you wouldn't have time to come to our factory, right?"
Jiang Shiyue said, "I originally wanted to ask Yuanyuan for a small favor. I happened to see that the factory was retiring sewing machines, and I wanted to ask if they were still usable? Could you sell me a few?"
"For home use? Then I'll pick out a good one for you." Director Chen was very generous.
Jiang Shiyue waved her hand. "You know me, but I'm so clumsy, how can I use this thing? I want to buy a few to give to my sisters-in-law in the family compound."
Director Chen had heard about Jiang Shiyue's generous purchase of pigs and sheep to treat the officers and soldiers in the compound to a meal, so he agreed without hesitation, "Okay! I'll have Guo Qingyuan pick out a few good ones for you later."
Jiang Shiyue thanked Director Chen. Both of them were busy, so they chatted for a while. Then Jiang Shiyue said goodbye to Director Chen and went to find Liu Yuanyuan.
Liu Yuanyuan has now become a serious designer.
She was so happy to see Jiang Shiyue that she called her Sister Yueyue.
Jiang Shiyue didn't have much time, so he exchanged a few pleasantries and explained his purpose.
"No problem, leave it to me."
***
When Jiang Shiyue returned to the workshop, Guo Qingyuan had already picked out four or five sewing machines.
He is very attentive and the sewing machine looks to be in very good condition.
"Comrade Jiang, the sewing machines I picked out are the ones I feel are the best to use and are in relatively new condition."
Jiang Shiyue thanked him repeatedly and said that they would have lunch together.
Guo Qingyuan waved his hand. "You've already done enough for me and our factory. How can I let you spend money? How about I treat you to a meal in exchange?"
"Okay!" Jiang Shiyue responded happily.
By the time Guo Qingyuan had picked out twenty sewing machines, it was time to get off work.
Jiang Shiyue called Chen Yuanyuan and Guo Qingyuan to have dinner near the factory.
Some braver people have already started setting up stalls near the factory.
Both Guo Qingyuan and Chen Yuanyuan expressed their desire to eat at a roadside stall.
They chose a stall owner who made mutton soup.
The stall owner was a middle-aged woman who wore patched clothes but they were very clean, and the tables and chairs were also very clean.
In order to block the wind, a piece of cloth was pulled around the tables and chairs.
It was such a cold day, and everyone had a bowl of mutton soup. Jiang Shiyue ordered four roujiamo, one each for her and Liu Yuanyuan, and two for Guo Qingyuan.
Men have big appetites.
Jiang Shiyue thought about it and asked the boss to add another portion of meat to each serving of mutton soup.
Liu Yuanyuan was still chattering, asking Jiang Shiyue about going to college and asking her how Huacheng was.
Jiang Shiyue answered them one by one with a smile.
"Sister Yueyue, you are the one I admire most in my life. You are the most beautiful and intelligent person I have ever seen. In the future, you will also be the most educated and maybe even the richest person I have ever seen."
"How old are you? The world is so big! There are so many people who are better than me."
Liu Yuanyuan shook her head. "No. Although I haven't seen much of the world, I've lived in the city after all. It's really rare for someone as young as you to be able to drive a car. Right, Brother Guo?"
Guo Qingyuan nodded and looked at Jiang Shiyue's car parked on the side of the road with envy.
"Alas!" Liu Yuanyuan suddenly sighed, not knowing what she was thinking. "Those people in our factory are so short-sighted. Otherwise, if they had partnered with us on this thermal underwear, we would have made a fortune."
Guo Qingyuan looked up in confusion, bewildered: "What warm underwear?"
Liu Yuanyuan then realized that she seemed to be the only one who knew this, and looked at Jiang Shiyue somewhat embarrassedly.
Jiang Shiyue didn't hide it from Guo Qingyuan and explained, "It's a thicker version of autumn clothes and autumn trousers. It's warmer than a sweater and trousers."
Guo Qingyuan nodded, "No wonder you bought so many sewing machines."
"Well, please keep this a secret. I don't mind it myself, but I'm afraid others might not be very friendly to you if they find out."
Although thermal underwear and work clothes are not competing products, they belong to the same industry after all.
Most of the workers in the factory are good, but often a single bad apple can spoil the whole barrel.
It would be inappropriate to criticize Liu Yuanyuan and Guo Qingyuan for being disloyal at that time.
In addition, the factory director sold her an obsolete sewing machine, but she made a competing product. Those people in the factory who had a grudge against Director Chen might put him in a bad light.
For example, using public power for personal gain.
Guo Qingyuan and Liu Yuanyuan also knew the pros and cons of this and said they would keep it secret.
Liu Yuanyuan muttered in dissatisfaction: "People who forget their principles when they see profit are really hurting others and themselves."
If some salesmen in the factory had not been jealous of Jiang Shiyue for getting so much commission and had not been making a fuss about it, Jiang Shiyue would definitely have cooperated with the garment factory again.
In this way, the factory can open another business line and the efficiency will get better and better.
But after what happened last time, not to mention her, even Director Chen would not have the face to talk about cooperation with Jiang Shiyue again if he knew about it.
