"Secondly, regarding some supplies that cannot be provided on the island, we will send a ship out of the island every month to purchase some supplies, and then open a shop on the island, where everyone can buy whatever they need."
"Third, the organization provided us with the necessary tools and some technical personnel. For example, if anyone wanted to make some furniture or process grain, equipment would be transported in, and then corresponding processing facilities would be set up."
"All the problems that everyone is worried about can be solved. What we need in the future is for everyone to work together to make good use of this land under our feet."
As expected of a leader, he was very methodical and organized. I admire him.
After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, he looked at her again.
Xiang Wanwan understood; they wanted her to give a concluding speech, to give her a pep talk, right?
"Aunties, this may not necessarily be a bad thing for us."
"Just imagine, in the future our island will have its own department stores, clothing stores, furniture stores, and oil presses. Wouldn't that be wonderful? We won't have to live on that pitiful amount of supplies every month anymore."
"If we work hard and cultivate more land, won't we be able to eat whatever we want in the future?"
"Besides, there's a famine and social unrest outside right now, so this place is like a safe haven. Who knows, it might even develop into a small city in the future?"
In her past life, Xiang Wanwan was used to being a beast of burden and receiving empty promises from her superiors. Now, it's her turn to make empty promises for others.
However, to be fair, this empty promise does work.
You could tell from everyone's expressions; their eyes revealed a hint of expectation, meaning they believed it at least 90%.
After listening, everyone discussed it among themselves.
Aunt Sun raised her hand and looked at Xiang Wanwan: "Wanwan, are the shops here very expensive?"
"No, the price will be set according to everyone's salary income, and it will definitely not be more expensive than outside."
Lu Jingnian spoke up.
"I can make furniture, can I open my own shop?"
Xiang Wanwan looked at the person speaking in the crowd, a middle-aged man in his forties.
You're getting it! I didn't expect you to be able to apply what you've learned to other situations so quickly.
She's even planning to open a pig farm, so I guess it shouldn't be a problem for everyone to open a shop.
Xiang Wanwan looked at Lu Jingnian, waiting for his answer. If he didn't answer, then her pig farm would be ruined.
“Okay.” Lu Jingnian uttered these two words.
Xiang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great! It's very user-friendly!
When everyone heard that they could open their own shops, they started whispering among themselves, talking about what skills they had and what kind of shops they could open.
“I can sell chicks; every chick I treat is healthy.”
"I can sew clothes. Now that I can finally use the sewing machine at home, anyone who needs clothes can come to me!"
"·····"
The crowd, who had just looked like the sky had fallen, were now all smiles, their eyes full of hope.
Everyone received a satisfactory answer and gradually dispersed.
After everyone had left, a huge weight was lifted from Xiang Wanwan's heart.
“Madam Chief, I never said there would be clothing stores or furniture stores on the island!” Lu Jingnian leaned closer to her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Xiang Wanwan wasn't ashamed at all; when it comes to making promises, you have to make them good!
"Chief Lu, why don't you try harder? When you go out each month, you can just buy some nice clothes to resell."
After saying that, he went inside.
Lu Jingnian watched her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.
It's possible, but it would be too manpower-intensive. However, since Madam has already spoken, this is the only option. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
