Chapter 657 658【Beauty Clothes】
In July, after the problem was resolved, Shuihua officially prepared to build a garment factory in Yuquan.
After hearing about it, the county and city took it very seriously.
First of all, reform and opening up and economic construction are now the main themes. In particular, Yuquanying is a pilot project for diaozhuang immigrants and focuses on poverty alleviation. The more prosperous it is, the more exemplary it will be. In their view, Shuihua was able to build a factory in Yuquan, which was a great political achievement and they were very supportive.
Secondly, Ning''an County has been a poor county since ancient times, with a backward economy and a harsh environment. It is very difficult to attract outside investment. Now it is easy for Shuihua to invest in building a factory. It is a rare opportunity in ten years, and it is naturally worth welcoming with both hands.
?However, even so, Shuihua has encountered varying degrees of difficulties in many aspects such as approval, site selection, construction, water supply, and electricity supply.
?Many departments have no sense of service. They delay things as long as they can, and things get stuck whenever they can. Things that could be done in one day have to be done in three or five days, and they have to make 70 or 70 trips.
To be honest, if Shui Hua hadn''t been a strong-willed woman, she would have retreated from these difficulties.
But no matter what, in July, the garment factory officially started construction, and the first phase investment was one million. It is used for building factories, purchasing equipment, purchasing raw materials, and recruiting employees.
If the business can continue, then additional investment will be made. If not, the only option is to close it down.
One million was already considered a lot of money at the time. Zhou Jianping, the owner of Heilan House, purchased the woolen textile factory with only 300,000 yuan.
…
The villagers were excited when they heard that Shuihua was going to build a factory.
There are those who support it, some who oppose it, and some who watch the excitement.
"Shui Hua''er, Uncle Yi, don''t take this risk. One million is not good for you. If you buy meat and eat it, you can eat it for a lifetime, so why take this risk."
“Shui Hua’er, I support you! The current general environment is reform and opening up, which will suffocate the bold and starve the timid. You should have a bit of an adventurous spirit!”
“Shui Hua’er, your factory is about to be built. Can I go in and work? I don’t know how to make clothes. I’ll show you the gate~”
The villagers talked a lot.
The An family was also a little unhappy about Li Shuihua taking the money to invest in building a factory.
First of all, money is earned by Anjia, and investment should also be spent by Anjia. How can it be led by Li Shuihua? Secondly, it is virtue for a woman to have no talent. She and Yongfu have been married for two years. If they don''t think about having children, they just show up all day long. It''s really unruly for women.
Therefore, An Guomin and Niu Xiuhua came to the house to discuss with Xiang Nan while Shuihua was away, asking him to call Shuihua back and stay at home to give birth to the child. Let him hand over the management of the garment factory to An Yongshou and An Yongkang.
?In this way, all the money will stay with the An family, and the Li family will not be benefited in vain.
…
Xiang Nan did not object explicitly to his parents'' request, but also raised several major questions.
How to build a factory, how to train employees, how to purchase raw materials, how to sell goods, how to maintain profits, how to create a brand...
“Dad, running a factory is not as easy as you think. You have to face many practical problems. If one problem is not solved, one million will be wasted.
?You ask Yongshou or Yongkang, which one can answer these questions, and which one has the confidence to manage the factory well? Xiang Nan asked.
?It’s not that he doesn’t want to take care of the two brothers, but managing a factory is indeed not that easy.
What’s more, in the TV series, he saw with his own eyes how hard Shui Hua worked for this family and how difficult it was. If he wasn''t nice to this woman, he would feel sorry for her.
?Although An Yongshou and An Yongkang are brothers, their contributions to him are insignificant, and he, as the elder brother, really cannot be grateful.
An Guomin and Niu Xiuhua were speechless by Xiang Nan''s question, so they had to retreat first.
In September, the garment factory was officially completed.
On the day of the start of construction, county and city leaders came to celebrate and presided over the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
“The completion of the Liren Garment Factory is a great event for our Yuquanying Development Zone and deserves the joy of all of us. On behalf of the government, I would like to thank Ms. Li Shuihua for investing in this land and leading the villagers to get rich together.
I also hope that more business leaders like Ms. Li will invest here. We promise to provide the best help, the greatest support, and the most favorable policies..." the city leader said impassionedly.
The folks in the audience all clapped their hands.
Xiang Nan also took the opportunity to urge the leaders to seize the time to implement his promise.
?For example, highways and water pumping stations were completed in the first half of the year, but even now they are not even visible.
They agreed wholeheartedly, but Xiang Nan was still unsure whether they could do it.
?However, the establishment of Liren Garment Factory is always a good thing.
…
After the completion of the garment factory, it officially started work and followed the route of self-production and self-sales.
There is no way. Jiexia is not a coastal area and basically cannot do foreign trade, so it cannot receive orders or OEMs. It can only produce and sell products by itself and create its own brand.
At the beginning, the factory recruited all skilled workers, who were invited from the city, and then they had food, food and accommodation in the factory. The monthly salary is the base salary plus commission. The basic salary is fifty, and the more clothes you make, the more commission you will receive.
Basically if you do well, it will not be a problem to earn three or four hundred yuan a month. And this salary, not to mention in Yuquanying, even in Yinchuan City, is considered good.
?Hence, the folks in Yuquanying and even Jintan Village were all jealous and wanted to work in the factory.
"Shui Hua''er, you are a girl from Jintan Village. You can''t turn your elbows outward. Aren''t the girls from Jintan Village hardworking and smart? Why don''t you recruit people from here?"
“Sister Shui Hua’er, I also want to work in a factory, and I also want to make money, but I don’t want to spend every day herding sheep and digging wild vegetables in the Gobi Desert.”
"Sister Shui Hua''er, please do it. I promise to work hard and never be lazy."
The villagers begged.
Actually, Xiang Nan is not in favor of expanding enrollment until the factory sees benefits.
Firstly, when people are recruited, wages have to be paid, which increases costs; secondly, after the recruitment is expanded, administration, logistics, and training must be supported, and a lot of work needs to be done.
So he wanted to persuade Shui Hua''er to be tough and not be persuaded by a few soft words.
"Shuihua, kindness does not control soldiers, justice does not manage finances. Business is business, don''t be soft-hearted just because of the pleas of a few people." Xiang Nan advised.
?However, Shui Hua is a kind-hearted woman after all. She can accept soft things but not hard ones. She will inevitably soften her heart when the villagers beg and coax her.
"Well, I know. But the factory can still accommodate some people." Shuihua thought for a while and said, "They can''t make clothes for the time being, but they can iron and fold clothes. Yongfu''er, we still want to live in this village, and we can''t let the villagers They are so chilling.
Besides, the first batch of clothing was successfully sold, and our profits are still very good. I think it is necessary to expand production. "
Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod when he heard what she said.
?Subsequently, Liren Garment Factory hired thirty more people as appropriate, which finally alleviated the turbulent public opinion.
?However, at this time, there was a problem with the sales of Beauty Clothing.
