Chapter 106: Only a middleman, no profit from the price difference

When Aunt Zhong brought Fu Yuanhang and Mumu back, Su Taotao, Xia Zhiqiu and others were already queuing for food.

Aunt Zhong brought her two children over, and the scene of three adults and four children queuing together was quite spectacular.

Chen Chen and his "mount" were so eye-catching that almost everyone who saw them would stop and take a second look.

Chenchen covered his little face to prevent others from seeing him, but everyone was happier to see how cute he was.

As soon as Chenchen saw his uncle, he stretched out his hand and asked his uncle to carry him on his back.

If he hadn't been worried that his mother was tired, he would have let her hold him long ago.

Fu Yuanhang thought the kid missed him, and he was so happy that his mouth curled up as he carried the kid on his back.

Auntie Zhong answered all the questions at once before, and now everyone knows that they are the iron triangle of the new factory. No one is uninterested and comes up to ask questions, so the meal was a peaceful one.

The happiest person at this meal was Mumu. He had not eaten in the cafeteria for a long time. Today, he did not have to suffer from Aunt Zhong's cooking and could also have dinner with Fu Yuanhang, Chen Chen and others. He was so happy.

"Ms. Zhong, is it okay for me to eat in the cafeteria every day from now on?"

Aunt Zhong knocked his head with the end of her chopsticks: "You can't do it without a proper way. It's cheaper to cook by yourself than to eat in the cafeteria."

"Oh." Mumu sighed and decided to eat and cherish it.

Chenchen and Dongdong were also very happy. It was the first time for the two kids to have a meal together. You ate a piece of my fish cake and I took a bite of your kelp, and we enjoyed the food more than usual.

But Chenchen took a bite of the fish cake and said, "My mommy is so good at cooking."

Dong Dong said: "I think the food in the cafeteria is delicious."

Xia Zhiqiu: “…”

After dinner, Fu Yuanhang, Mumu and others went straight back to the classroom for a nap.

Chenchen was reluctant to follow his uncle back to the classroom, so he followed his mother to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought ingredients for dinner before returning home.

After another afternoon of discussion and revision, the factory's drawings were officially finalized.

The leader recognized Su Taotao's ability and gave her full authority to be responsible for the factory, including the scheduling of construction. The foundation party submitted an application and let Su Taotao directly contact them without asking any questions during the whole process.

Su Taotao plans to take care of this matter tomorrow.

Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu's task is to determine the approximate number of old coconuts on the island, and then decide how many workers to send to pick coconuts every day based on productivity.

We also need to contact the sugar factory to prepare the raw materials before production starts.

Su Taotao has already given the dimensions of these production tools, such as the large iron pot, large spatula, large aluminum basin, cutting knife, pressure strip, etc. to Fu Zhengtu, and asked him to help make the contact.

Finally, there are the recruitment details. It is tentatively planned to recruit 30 people first, including assembly line workers, flexible personnel, teachers for the red education class and security guards.

This scale is already much larger than Su Taotao's original plan.

When Fu Zhengtu came back with all the materials needed to make the oven, Su Taotao had already prepared dinner.

At the same time, Fu Zhengtu also brought back good news:

The leadership is very confident in her coconut candy and has convinced the headquarters to include coconut candy as a snack at the half-year work report meeting held at the end of the month, and each person will be given a box as a souvenir.

In the past, leaders would bring back special products from factories affiliated with other sister units after meetings. This time, it was finally their turn to have their own special products.

The leader was very happy and specifically instructed Fu Zhengtu to ask Su Taotao to make the first batch of coconut candy before the end of the month so that they could take it to the capital to make a name for themselves.

In the era of planned economy, there was always a shortage of goods, but Su Taotao never had to worry about the sales of her products.

This is equivalent to pre-ordering the first batch of products before the factory even opens. Su Taotao thinks that the leader has confidence in her, and a good start is always a happy event.

Su Taotao smiled and said, "Okay, it's a good start. I'll go back and tell your leaders tomorrow, and I'll give them an 88% discount. It's a good omen."

Fu Zhengtu couldn't help laughing.

When a man who seldom smiles smiles, the lethality is doubled. It may be an exaggeration to say that the heaven and earth are dimmed, but at that moment, the glow behind him was indeed much dimmed.

But Su Taotao looked at his smile and felt a pang in her heart. She said cautiously:

"Your leaders are not thinking of not paying or cheating, are they? That's not okay. Human relationships are human relationships, and business is business. When I do business, I must distinguish between money and goods, and I will never cheat or cheat. The payment for goods and the money invested in the base in the early stage are two different things. It will be a mess if we confuse them."

Fu Zhengtu had forgotten how long it had been since he had laughed like this.

He rubbed Su Taotao's head and said, "What are you thinking about? The accounts between the bases and the headquarters have always been clear. Refreshments and souvenirs are not provided for free. They are sold at market prices. The base is just helping you to get business. We are just a middleman and do not make any profit from the difference."

Su Taotao patted her chest and said, "That's pretty good."

Su Taotao waved her hands and said, "It's okay. I'll quietly raise the price a little bit. You can tell the leader that I gave the headquarters an 8.88% discount for his sake. He will be proud and I will be happy with the sale. It's a win-win situation."

The smile on Fu Zhengtu's face never faded: "Why didn't I realize that you have the potential to be a dishonest businessman before?"

Su Taotao raised her eyebrows and looked at him, then nodded beside his cheek: "Why didn't I notice that you have a little pear here before?"

After saying that, Su Taotao stood on tiptoe, sucked hard at the place where her hand had just touched, and then let go: "Ah~~" imitating Chen Chen's tone, "I was wrong, it's not Xiao Liyun, it's Xiao Wen."

Fu Zhengtu clasped Su Taotao's slender waist with one hand, pressed her towards himself, and imprisoned her in his arms, with darkness surging in his dark eyes.

Su Taotao struggled and said angrily, "Chenchen is watching."

Fu Zhengtu held her tighter, leaned over and sucked hard on her lips, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You knew it and still dared to tease me? Don't want to sleep tonight? Hmm?"

Su Taotao surrendered and rubbed his nose with hers: "It's wrong, it's wrong, stop making trouble, get ready for dinner, Xiaohang is coming back."

Fu Zhengtu looked at her deeply, loosened his hand, and something pulled at his trouser leg.

Fu Zhengtu lowered his head and stared into the eyes of the little guy who was not even as tall as his thighs...

"Daddy~~ Are you guys playing Senmo~~ Chenchen wants to play too~~"

Fu Zhengtu: “…”

Su Taotao couldn't stop laughing. She bent down and picked up the kid. Just like she did with Fu Zhengtu just now, she touched the kid's nose with her own: "Let's play the nose-touching game."

"Ah~~" Chen Chen suddenly realized and shook his head, "Not fun~~"

Su Taotao smiled and kissed him. The sound of a door opening was heard outside: "Go and see if little uncle is back. Get ready to wash your hands and eat."
