News of the cooperation between Lin's fishery and the packaging workshop of the township-run factory quickly spread throughout Fjord Town.
For rural factories, this is the dew after a long drought and the charcoal fire in the cold winter.
Although the contract Wu Meili brought was just for the packaging workshop, she also revealed good news to the factory director: when the fjord scenic spot is developed, the straw hat workshop will definitely be busy. Tourists who come to the beach will always buy straw hats for sun protection.
Yes.
As for the head flower workshop, Wu Meili memorized the plan Xu Suizhu taught her by heart, and conveyed it to the factory director: "The planned handicraft street has received support from the county and the province, and it will definitely be launched. The factory will be established in the township.
You can rent one in the name of your company, to advertise the factory, and to sell some of the factory's products, such as straw hats, headdresses, pearls, and shell products..."
The factory director rubbed his hands happily: "Beautiful, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you have changed so much! It seems that you have been supplementing your knowledge. It's amazing! It's amazing!"
Wu Meili was so embarrassed by the praise: "Director, please don't praise me like this. This is not what my stupid head can think of."
"Oh? Who is that?" the factory director asked curiously.
"Who do you think is the smartest top student in our family?"
"Oh -" the factory director suddenly realized, "is that sister-in-law of yours? The one who works as a teacher in the town? Oops! Let me tell you! No ordinary person can imagine such a wonderful way to bring the dead back to life! Okay! I'll remember this!
If there is anything I can help with in your family from now on, just ask!"
Wu Meili was done, leaving souvenirs and went back.
The factory director concluded a business deal and settled a worry. He was in a particularly relaxed mood. He kept a few of the bananas Wu Meili brought home for his grandson to try, and let a few people in the office do the rest.
I kept the can of tea for myself. It wasn’t much, so I didn’t share it.
Mainly because I heard Wu Meili say that this is the tea her family grows herself, and the first crop of buds she roasted last week. For tea lovers, Mingqian tea is equivalent to Gucci and Chanel for bag lovers! Never mind what it is.
The tea seeds, the buds before Ming Dynasty, should be good.
Just as he was about to make himself a cup, Mr. Shi, the straw hat dealer, came over and diligently made him a cup as well.
"Mr. Shi, if you come here today, do you have an order for Straw Hat?"
The straw hat workshop has not received any orders since it stopped working at the beginning of the year. The gross profit of the entire factory can hardly afford to pay the wages of employees. Fortunately, Wu Meili brought good news today, otherwise he would really have to lay off employees and follow the example of other companies.
Got laid off.
Mr. Shi shook his head: "I don't know why, the straw hat business has been bad recently. I came here today mainly for other things."
As he spoke, he casually took a sip of the fragrant tea, and his little eyes lit up: "Hey, Lao Zhao, what kind of tea is this?"
"Ah? Doesn't it taste good?" The factory director picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and explained, "The old employee gave it to me, saying it was self-produced and sold tea. It was roasted from the buds picked not long ago. I was also the first to give it.
If you drink it once and it doesn’t taste good, I’ll give you something else…”
"No, no, no!" Mr. Shi grabbed him and said with a smile, "I just want to say that this tea is good, sweet and mellow, and the water is clear. It is no worse than the special Longjing I booked when I went to Linzhou on a business trip..."
"Is it really that good?" After hearing what he said, the director took a few sips and said, "Hmm! Don't tell me, this tea is really good!"
"Old Zhao, where does your old worker's family come from? It's quite far away from here, right? I haven't heard of anyone in your town growing tea on Baoshan..."
"Who said it's far away? It's just down here in the fishing village, but instead of building a mountain, their family built an island, and they grew a lot of things on the island. Well, this tea, and these bananas are all grown by their family themselves.
"
As he said that, he broke off two bananas and gave them to him.
Mr. Shi tasted one and gave a thumbs up: "This banana is more delicious than the one sold at the fruit stall! Lao Zhao, why don't you take me to their house to have a look? I want to ask them to buy some tea."
Director Zhao saw that he really wanted to purchase tea, and since Wu Meili had done him such a big favor, he patted his thigh and said without saying a word: "Let's go! I will miss a day of work today and take you around down there!"
In this way, Director Zhao reciprocated and attracted a customer to Lin's Fishing Farm.
It turned out that Mr. Shi’s brother-in-law ran a seafood restaurant in a neighboring city. The business was doing well. At the end of last year, he had a falling out with his colleague next door over a trivial matter.
Originally, a falling out was nothing more than an embarrassment, and it would not affect business.
Unexpectedly, the other party had a very capable relative. At the beginning of this year, he actually persuaded the seafood wholesale market in the neighboring city not to supply him with goods.
If a seafood restaurant can’t supply seafood, then what business can it do? It’s just a way out!
It happened that the program "Into the New Fishermen" was being broadcast on TV. I thought that Fjord Town was a bit far away, but it would be great if we could reach a cooperation with Lin's Fishing Farm!
Once the supply is guaranteed, no matter how tough the relatives next door are, can they go to Fjord Town?
Secondly, Lin’s Fishing Ground was featured on TV, everyone looks familiar! Then hang up a banner saying that all the seafood in your store comes from Lin’s Fishing Ground. Isn’t business booming?
So I asked Mr. Shi, my wife's brother who often runs here, to come and explore the situation of Lin's fishing ground, and discuss cooperation to learn about myself and the enemy.
As a result, Mr. Shi, a tea tiger, couldn't move forward when it came to good tea. He put all business aside and rushed to buy tea first, and accidentally stumbled upon Lin's fishing ground.
He was lucky. Lin Guodong didn't go out to sea today. A batch of building materials he ordered arrived today and he had to inspect the goods. His son went to the provincial capital to deliver goods. It would be dark at least when he came back.
Seeing that the other party was a guest brought by the director of a rural factory, of course he warmly received him, offered tea and snacks, and invited him to sit down and chat.
Mr. Shi smelled the aroma of tea, took a deep breath with satisfaction, and said straight to the point that he wanted to buy tea.
Lin Guodong opened his mouth: "..."
Of the people who came to my door recently, who didn’t come here for the seafood from Lin’s Fishing Ground after watching a TV show? This one, ingeniously, said he was here to buy tea.
When he went to the fishing ground to buy tea, it was the first time he saw it.
Immediately he couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. Shi, it's not that I don't want to sell it, but this tea was grown by my niece. It has the first stubble of buds and the amount is very small. She has no intention of selling it."
Mr. Shi was anxious when he heard this: "The price is just open, I really like it! I want to buy some back. You see, I don't have any other hobbies, I just like drinking tea. Every time I go on a business trip, I will go to the local tea market.
, I’m not afraid of your jokes, the tea I’ve moved home over the years can be enough to build a bungalow..."
Lin Guodong nodded to express his understanding, but his niece said that the tea would not be sold. If he dared to agree, he would not be beaten to death by his mother-in-law.
"How about, I have a bag of something to drink here, you can take it..."
