Yu Sui accepted the red envelope generously and told Zhang Caifeng about the factory plan.
The main thing is to develop characteristic industries.
"There are so many garment factories out there, and there will be even more in the future. We're just a startup. Not only are our equipment inferior to theirs, but our technology is even more outdated. Right now, we can still earn a hard-earned living by relying on the primary market, but in a few years, the market will be saturated and our garment factories will be out of business. So, we need to have a unique niche. For example, there are specialized shirt and sweatshirt factories now, so we can think in that direction too. We can specialize in one type of clothing and be the best at it. That way, we can gain a foothold in the entire industry."
Zhang Caifeng's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Even Yu Hemiao looked at Yu Sui with admiration and pride: "My second sister, what you said makes a lot of sense. It seems that just by listening to you, I can see how prosperous the garment factory will be in the future."
Zhang Caifeng moved the chair and propped it up against Yu Sui's knees. "Tell me, tell me quickly. What kind of clothes should we make?"
Yu Sui looked at the excited face in front of her and said three words: "Down."
Zhang Caifeng and Yu Hemiao said in unison, "Down? What is that?"
Yu Sui pointed at the chickens roaming in the yard outside and said, "Look, do chickens need to wear cotton-padded jackets in winter?"
Zhang Caifeng: "That's nonsense! Of course chickens don't smell like hen. Chickens have feathers."
Yu Sui: "Yes! Chickens have feathers, but once it rains, chickens are even worse than humans and are called "drenched chickens." Their feathers are worthless. But ducks and geese need to wear cotton-padded jackets in winter, right? Do they get wet when they go into the water?"
Yu Hemiao raised his hands and flapped his arms like a duck: "No. They just shake it and it's done."
Yu Sui: "Yes, that's why duck feathers don't get wet easily and they keep you warm. The down around the neck is especially good, with fewer fine stems, and it's fluffy and warm. That's why officials in big cities use duck down quilts in their homes in winter. They're so light and comfortable! Goose feathers are even better, with larger fibers and higher warmth retention. Of course, the feathers from the goose's belly are even better than those from other parts of the body. If you collect that stuff and make it into a piece of clothing, even if it only weighs a few taels, it's still very warm."
Zhang Caifeng smacked her lips. "Tsk, that's all well and good, but then don't we still have to raise ducks and geese?"
Yu Sui waved her hand:
"Which family here doesn't have a few ducks? If you say you want to collect duck feathers, then the whole village will have to slaughter ducks! Besides, this is a long-term matter. You can contact the meat processing plant or the chicken farm and buy their duck and goose feathers. Of course, if you report this to Secretary Zou, then it wouldn't be a bad idea for our brigade to take the lead in setting up a breeding farm.
"We can hatch ducklings from our own duck eggs. Which production team in our brigade doesn't have a few rivers? If we drive the ducks down to the rivers, they'll eat small fish and shrimp every day. One or two old workers can take care of thousands of ducks. When the ducks lay eggs, they belong to the production team, and when they're killed, the meat also belongs to the production team. We only need to earn a few cents to start a factory. How great!"
Zhang Caifeng: "Now that you mention it, I think even if I don't run a garment factory, I can still make money raising ducks!"
"Of course! As long as you put your mind to it, you can make money in anything!"
Zhang Caifeng immediately made the decision: "Go! I'll report your idea to Secretary Zou first, and then I'll let the team raise ducks and geese first."
"Well, to begin with, once you've produced the fur, you can start with down quilts. Once you've gained experience, you can make vests, and then all kinds of winter clothing. You can also try to get military orders for these kinds of things. If your quality is excellent, you can supply them to the military. The military has a huge demand, right? One order could take a small factory of a hundred or so people a year! Why worry about styles? One trick can make you successful!"
"Oh my God, what the hell is wrong with your brain!" Zhang Caifeng hugged Yu Sui's head tightly, very happy.
I'm so excited, really so excited. Whenever I talk to Yu Sui, I can see RMB flying all over the sky.
Yu Hemiao quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Auntie, this is not okay. My second sister is pregnant!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, so sorry." Zhang Caifeng quickly let go and said embarrassedly: "Yu Sui, I will report this matter. If it really succeeds, I will give you a red envelope!"
Yu Sui: "Aunt, can you just pay your costs openly from now on? This is called consulting fees, I can't be stupid!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I got it. I understand. I'll definitely give it to you next time!"
Zhang Caifeng jumped and danced like an eighteen-year-old girl.
Yu Hemiao, however, still looked at Yu Sui with an admiring look, and even served Yu Sui some porridge, handing the bowl and chopsticks to her:
"Second sister, how do you know so much? We were born from the same mother and grew up eating the same rice, so how come I don't know all this?"
Yu Sui: "Read books, go out and see the world and broaden your horizons! Sister, I was just about to tell you! I told you before that if the country has a college entrance examination policy, you must take it. I'm not joking. Let me tell you quietly, I got some news that the resumption of the college entrance examination is very likely to be realized. I have asked Yu Cheng to start copying some knowledge points and test questions. When he brings them back, you must find time to study. Only by constantly learning can people always know more than others and control their own destiny."
Yu Hemiao rubbed his hands together: "Can I...really do this?"
"Where there's a will, there's a way, sister! Besides, no one knows about this kind of news right now. We're reviewing now, and we already have a lot more time than others. What's the reason for not doing it? Sister, wait for Yu Cheng to bring the materials, and you can do the exercises quietly at home. I'll help you tell mom that I asked you to write those for me, so she won't scold you. You have to work hard for the sake of your two children. If you get into college, you can get a good job in the future, and the children can live a good life with you."
Mentioning the children touched Yu He Miao's soft spot, and she nodded immediately: "You're right. For their sake, I must always try my best. Thank you, second sister!"
Yu Sui: "What's there to thank me for? You're my sister!"
"That being said, there are many cases in this world where sisters fall out with each other! So you are still kind-hearted."
"What are you talking about? Let's not talk about this anymore. Why didn't I see Lanlan today?" Yu Sui held the bowl in her hand, leaned back to look outside, and didn't see Lanlan in the yard.
"Hey, you don't know, didn't you give her crayons and drawing paper yesterday? She got up early this morning and started drawing secretly, even earlier than me. When I saw her, she quickly hid it, afraid that I would scold her. To be honest, seeing her like that, second sister, I also reflected on myself. I was really too harsh on her. I really dumped on her everything that mother had done to me!"
