The state-owned factories were put into operation in full swing.
As the address, I chose the production team's warehouse.
After cleaning everywhere, a few initiators moved a few stools from their homes, and a simple workshop-type factory was opened.
Just as Yu Sui had expected, when Zhang Caifeng said that members who wanted to work in the collective-run factory would be apprentices and would not be paid wages for three months, no one in the entire production team was willing to come.
There are many people who make sarcastic remarks, saying that although these cakes and candies are delicious, they are so expensive, so why would anyone buy them?
They said that they would suffer losses, and then Zhang Caifeng would be the sinner of the production team. If they couldn't get the bonus during the New Year, they would go to Zhang Caifeng's house for dinner.
Anyway, that's how it is in the countryside. If one person is unhappy, he will get everyone to oppose it, so that he won't be the only one who suffers from what he says.
Zhang Caifeng was not annoyed. She took out a small document and asked those who thought that setting up a collective factory would be a bad idea to sign a pledge that no matter how good the collective factory was in the future, it would have nothing to do with them.
These people who talk nonsense don't dare to sign.
Well, they were just afraid of the worst. What if the state-owned factories became prosperous but they had no share? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
Zhang Caifeng was justified in scolding these people:
"You signed something that has nothing to do with you, but you dare not sign it. So what are you fussing about? I'm telling you, either you sign something that has nothing to do with you, and from now on you can look down on me and curse me all day long! Or you shut up and fully support the team in doing this. When the time comes, I'll bear the losses myself, and I'll give the profits to everyone. Isn't that good enough for me?
Just because I'm the team leader, I shoulder this responsibility. But you can't treat me like a fool. You're hoping I'll lose money while at the same time expecting me to make money and give it to you. How can it be that easy? If I hear anyone say anything bad about the social factory again, I won't give any of the money I make to them! Everyone is welcome to report me. If the report is true and someone is cursing me behind my back, the red ink of that person will go to the reporter!
This move is quite cruel.
Now, these people no longer dare to say things like state-owned factories will definitely lose money, for fear of being reported and then being left with nothing.
In this way, the collectively-owned factory was officially opened.
In the first three days, Yu Sui listed all the work. Yu Hemiao was still in the recovery period, so he just sat next to him to learn and observe every day. Tang Zhaodi had already started to work with Yu Sui.
The first batch of finished products was given to the educated youth, who took them to Shanghai to find a market.
Zhang Caifeng took the second batch of finished products and went to the county town to find a market for them.
He took the third batch of remaining ears of corn with him and went to other communes to find sales channels.
Yu Sui didn't know how other people sold it, but she just put it up for sale in her exchange space, stating that it was handmade, made with natural ingredients, without any high-tech or expensive products, and she sold as many as she could.
This is really delightful.
I sold everything without leaving the house. How frugal.
Now, I start to worry about excuses again.
While Yu Sui was using the future coins she received to buy back some money from this era, she was thinking about how to tell Zhang Caifeng.
Finally I found that this was okay for one or two times, but if it was to last for a long time, I had to visit various communes and find real sales channels.
From then on, Yu Sui went out and ran around every day.
Carrying the letter of introduction from the brigade secretary, Yu Sui went to the nearby commune market to sell her products, letting people taste them, leaving her address, and telling people that if they were getting married or had any other important occasions, they could come and order this candy and cakes.
It was late autumn, and there were quite a few people getting married who came to try the food and place orders.
Ordinary families in rural areas don’t order much, but as long as everyone forms a routine, the market will open up.
Yu Sui used the words she learned in her previous life when she was broadcasting live and chatting with people to ask for tips, and soon won the favor of the rural uncles and aunts. In three days, she also received many small orders.
Before Yu Sui could report the sales situation to Zhang Caifeng, Zhang Caifeng came to Yu Sui with great joy:
"Xiao Yu Sui, hey, I told the leader of the Commerce Bureau just as you taught me. He kept the sample and said he'd talk about it at the supply and marketing cooperative meeting for us. If everyone agrees, he'll call me. I've been waiting for two days, and this afternoon the brigade called. They want it! All the supply and marketing cooperatives in our county's eleven communes want it! Hahahaha! Oh my God, is it too late for us to start production now?"
Yu Sui frowned. "It's really too late to produce it. I didn't expect the county to be able to help us talk to the supply and marketing cooperatives!"
Zhang Caifeng immediately became worried again: "That's right, I didn't expect them to take it all. I really can't believe it. Could they be trying to trick us?"
Yu Sui shook her head. "That's not the case. I think our products are just right for the market. This season is when there are a lot of weddings. The food is delicious, so sales will naturally increase."
"Then how can we produce so much?"
"First, we need more manpower. Second, we need to use machines for tasks like grinding flour and churning sugar. Third, we need to work overtime at night."
"Huh? This... there's no electricity. What machine are you using?"
"We discussed with the brigade secretary and decided to convert the manure pit at the educated youth's pig farm into a biogas tank. We can use the biogas tank to generate electricity, which will basically guarantee electricity for the small commune's factory."
"Methane tank?"
"Yes, the brigade secretary will definitely understand. It's good for our products to sell well. Secretary Zou will definitely support it."
"This...I'll go find him right away!"
Zhang Caifeng was no longer afraid of the night. She went home, took her husband, and went to talk to the brigade secretary about the cooperative factory.
Secretary Zou had heard of biogas digesters, but he felt that since they were just orders from a few supply and marketing cooperatives, it was not necessary to ask the brigade to help build a biogas digester to generate electricity.
Aren’t those power generation facilities free?
Your team 3 hasn't earned a penny yet, but you're thinking about spending money. That's not okay!
Zhang Caifeng could only say to Yu Sui dejectedly the next day that they should add more manpower.
But as I said before, if we don’t give you work minutes for the first three months, will anyone still come to work?
Yu Sui came up with an idea for Zhang Caifeng: to organize those old men and women in the production team who sat in front of other people's houses and gossiped every day into temporary workers. Although the wages were not paid, each person could take home half a pound of leftover pastries every day.
My goodness, a group of old men and women rushed over and almost got into a fight.
Finally, five old ladies and two old men were selected based on merit, with the agreement that anyone who did not work hard would be replaced.
So, these old people who usually pretend to be Lin Daiyu at home were quite serious about half a pound of cakes and suddenly turned into Fang Shiyu.
The two old men could still chop firewood, fetch water and grind rice flour for the collective-run factory.
Five old ladies do some baking and packaging work, and they are all good.
Production suddenly increased.
