Chapter 96: First meeting of the leadership team

Xia Zhiqiu hasn't recovered from the shock yet.

She had just asked Zhang Chuncheng about work two days ago.

Zhang Chuncheng mentioned that he might start a red education class, and if there is a position available, he will keep an eye out for her.

She also thought that it would be great if she had the chance to become a colleague with Su Taotao, but she didn't expect that Su Taotao would go so far and was about to open a factory?

Aunt Zhong touched her elbow: "Xiao Xia?"

Xia Zhiqiu looked at her blankly.

Auntie Zhong thought she was unwilling, so she quickly said, "You are so lucky. I waited for more than ten years for Director Su to come, and you just came and encountered such a good thing. Don't you want to go to work?"

Xia Zhiqiu waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I'm just a little surprised that Taotao has already opened the factory after such a short time."

Su Taotao stood up, took some coconut candy and put it on the table: "Take a bite."

Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu did not suspect anything and each took a piece and started eating.

Su Taotao called Chenchen and asked him to take Dongdong to wash his hands, and then come over to get the candy.

Chenchen washed his hands first and ran over with his short legs. Su Taotao wiped his hands with a towel. Chenchen grabbed a piece of candy with one hand and gave the bigger one to Dongdong.

I took a bite first: "My mom made it~~ so good~~"

Dongdong took a bite and his eyes lit up: "Delicious!"

"How is it?" Su Taotao asked the two women opposite her.

Auntie Zhong said: "I have never tasted such delicious candy in my life. It is crispy, crunchy and fragrant, with a strong coconut flavor."

Xia Zhiqiu is from the north, and this was the first time she had seen coconuts here.

"The taste is indeed very special and sweet. We want to make this product?" Xia Zhiqiu was a smart person. When Su Taotao asked this, she knew what she meant.

Su Taotao nodded: "For now, let's make this product and open a small workshop. When we have accumulated enough funds, we can expand production to do other things."

The base really couldn't allocate much funds in the early stages.

Aunt Zhong sighed: "Everything Xiao Su cooks tastes good. The last time you made that cake, our Mumu kept talking about it. Also, the food you cook, Mumu can't walk past your door every night after school. You have skills and brains, so this is perfect for you."

Aunt Zhong has full confidence in Su Taotao.

Su Taotao was not modest. She nodded and said, "I just adapt to local conditions. As the saying goes, you live by the mountain and eat by the mountain; you live by the water and eat by the water. The most abundant things on our island are coconuts and various tropical fruits. At present, the only thing I can think of that can be done with the least resources and the lowest cost is to make this."

Su Taotao looked at Xia Zhiqiu: "Zhiqiu, what do you think?"

Xia Zhiqiu said: "I think you must be my lucky star. I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life, so I met you in this life."

Su Taotao and she smiled at each other, saying nothing.

Not only her and Xia Zhiqiu, the bond between their two families is very deep.

Fu Zhengtu and Zhang Chuncheng, Dongdong and Chenchen, she and Xia Zhiqiu.

Su Taotao took out two handwritten letters of appointment from the cowhide bag.

One letter was given to Aunt Zhong, and the other was given to Xia Zhiqiu.

"This is the appointment letter I prepared for you. Take it back and see if there is anything that needs to be revised. We will consider it later."

The two were stunned again, looking at the appointment letter written by Su Taotao herself, they were excited and moved.

They all tacitly put it aside and didn't look at it for the time being.

Su Taotao added: "Although it is called a small workshop, we still established it under the name of a processing plant, and the site we chose is the vacant lot behind the cafeteria.

Fu Zhengtu and I did a rough on-site inspection at noon, and this is the first draft of the drawing. "

Su Taotao took out the drawing that Fu Zhengtu had drawn at noon from the cowhide bag and placed it in the middle of the table:

“The most important thing in food processing is food safety and hygiene, so the factory cannot be sloppy at all, and the personnel recruited must be healthy and perform their duties in accordance with the regulations.

We currently have two top priorities: one is the construction of the factory, and the other is personnel recruitment.”

When it comes to the issue of personnel recruitment, Aunt Zhong's eyebrows can't help but twitch. She asked with a stiff upper lip: "Xiao Su, there is something I feel embarrassed to ask. Can my eldest son come back to participate in the recruitment? I..."

"Sure." Su Taotao nodded and said, "As long as the family members meet the requirements, they can participate in the recruitment and the best ones will be admitted. Except for the two of you, I applied for special approval, and the others will be treated equally. If your eldest son does not meet the requirements, he will not be admitted as an exception because of your relationship, and the same goes for the other side."

Aunt Zhong finally put her heart back into her stomach: "Thank you, Xiao Su, thank you."

Xia Zhiqiu said something very right. Su Taotao is not only Xia Zhiqiu's lucky star, but also their whole family's lucky star. I don't know how many good things he must have done in his previous life to meet her.

After looking at the factory's blueprints, Xia Zhiqiu said to Su Taotao, "The food factory where I used to work has a batch of obsolete equipment. I don't know if it's suitable, and I don't know if it's convenient to transport it here."

This time it was Su Taotao's turn to be stunned: "You used to work in a food factory?"

Xia Zhiqiu nodded: "I used to be an accountant in a food factory, so I don't know much about production, but the elimination or damage report of machines requires our approval.

There was nothing wrong with that batch of machines. They were eliminated because the production line was changed and they were no longer suitable. At that time, we wanted to sell them to our sister factories at a low price, but later we didn’t know why the sale was not completed. They should still be there now.”

Xia Zhiqiu was an unexpected surprise for Su Taotao.

Su Taotao only knew that she was a nice person with a good image and was a high school graduate, so she was more than qualified to be a secretary. She never expected that she was actually an accountant in a food factory before.

Su Taotao thought for a moment and asked again, "What kind of food is this equipment used to process? What's its approximate scale?"

Xia Zhiqiu: "Our factory was originally a wedding candy and cake processing plant. When we first started building it, we only had a few dozen people. Later, we expanded our production and replaced our production lines, and it became a canning factory with hundreds of people today."

Wedding candy is hard candy. Coconut candy can also be made into hard candy. In the future, you can even add mango candy or other fruit candy.

Handmade sugar has its own market, and is different from sugar made by machines. But machine-produced sugar also has its market, and will be useful sooner or later.

It depends on whether there will be enough funds in the future to purchase new equipment or whether we have to make do with the old equipment.

In fact, the processing of hard candy does not require much technical content and does not require high production equipment.

Su Taotao smiled and said, "Zhiqiu, you are my lucky star. The equipment may not be of use for the time being, but it will be useful in the future. When we become stable, we will expand the scale of production. We will have the opportunity to send people to learn production experience in the future."

Xia Zhiqiu also had a clue in his mind that he should be able to help Su Taotao, or in other words, help Xinchang.

Aunt Zhong really felt that she was extremely lucky. Compared with Xia Zhiqiu, who was well-educated and came from a big factory in a big city, she herself had nothing to show for it, and she felt a little guilty just hearing that.

The interpersonal network in her mind was quickly mobilized, thinking about which people who were hardworking, healthy, and able to help the factory should be recruited. She must be extremely alert and filter out those cunning and lazy rascals for Su Taotao.

More than an hour later, the leadership team's first meeting ended smoothly and successfully as two capable leaders excitedly left with their appointment letters.
