Chapter 320 What did you say? Open a textile factory?
Reading Settings
After returning to Qishui Brigade, Bai Nuo behaved himself for three days. During those three days, he either wandered around in the fields or played with Hei Feng's family of four at the animal husbandry team. He made a brief appearance at the county public security bureau, but otherwise stayed in the brigade. He was incredibly well-behaved.
Fang Meng left the day after returning to the Qishui Brigade. Their last operation to clear out enemy spy dens in Liaoning Province had been quite a big deal, so he went back to the regimental headquarters to give a report, explaining their movements in detail. Therefore, he secretly set off for the Beijing Military Region early the next morning.
On the fourth day after Bai Nuo returned, she finally couldn't stay still any longer. She got up early, ate breakfast, and headed to the brigade headquarters, intending to find her captain uncle to do some side business.
"What did you say? Open a textile factory???" Wei Zhongping stared at the young girl in shock.
He had just finished assigning the remaining tasks in the fields early in the morning. Now, the only crops left to be harvested are corn, rice, and soybeans. Once this period of work is over and the grain is handed over, then work points can be calculated and the grain distributed. After all the work is done, the wintering season will officially begin.
In Liaoning Province, the autumn harvest season is mainly from late September to mid-October. Starting from late September, various regions gradually enter the peak harvest season. Corn enters its peak harvest in early October, and rice enters its peak harvest in mid-October.
It was mid-October, and the fields were bustling with activity again. The autumn harvest was almost over, and Wei Zhongping was finally relieved. But then, this girl had only been back for two days when she pulled this stunt on him, leaving him completely stunned.
Bai Nuo sat calmly to the side, adding a ball of tea to his large tea mug and filling it with hot water to about seven-tenths full, looking completely relaxed.
Even the members of the animal husbandry team went to the fields to harvest corn. Tie Jinhua was one of the people who knew that Bai Nuo had a job in the county, so she didn't let Bai Nuo go and left her alone to look after the house. She was probably the most idle person in the village right now.
So, whenever I have some free time, I want to find something to do.
Bai Nuo smiled and nodded at the captain, "Please don't get excited, let me finish explaining."
"Alright, alright, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening!" Wei Zhongping was no longer in a hurry to go to the field. He even forgot about the loss of his tea leaves and focused intently on the little girl in front of him.
The reason their commune could stand out among other communes, even managing to get approval for expensive items like tractors, was because the commune had its own small brick factory. This attracted the attention of county leaders, allowing them to receive preferential treatment in the application and approval process.
This is sufficient proof that the county government strongly supports communes and production teams in developing their own sideline businesses. As long as a project benefits the country and the people and can drive local development, the county government will support it.
Unfortunately, people in the countryside don't have many ways to make money through side jobs. At most, they can sell some mountain products and vegetables to the commune or county agricultural machinery institute to earn a little money, which is good enough to add a meat dish to the family during the New Year.
There are no bigger ones left, and even the small brick factory run by the commune isn't something just anyone can set up.
Seeing the captain's anxious expression, Bai Nuo didn't try to hide anything and cheer up the old man, directly explaining her plan.
"When I came back the day before yesterday, I told you that I was specially hired by the county public security bureau as a criminal sketch artist in the bureau's administrative department. Before, I went to the city to provide technical support. I happened to help the city's No. 1 Machinery Factory with a small favor there, and at the same time, I reached a small cooperation agreement with the factory."
Through the factory director's connections, we got to know someone at the city textile factory who could help us get ten second-hand ring spinning machines. With these ten machines, we could easily set up a small textile factory within our team.
As for sales channels, you don't need to worry too much. Xie Weidong, You Jin, and Sun Yuxi can handle those in the county and city. They are more than capable of managing this line of business, given their social skills, eloquence, and education. It would be a waste to leave them in the fields; otherwise, they could generate income for our production team.
Bai Nuo had already discussed these matters with a few friends the day before. This job was much more interesting than the village primary school teacher or warehouse record clerk they had previously thought of, so when Bai Nuo proposed it, it was approved unanimously.
Moreover, once you enter the textile factory, you get more than just work points; you also receive wages and bonuses. If you save money for a few years, you won't be in a bind if you encounter any good opportunities after returning to the city.
Bai Nuo always remembered the lessons her grandmother taught her, one of which was, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
She has money, but there's a principle of lending to those in urgent need, not those who are poor. However, sometimes when opportunities arise, some people miss them, and the gap between friends widens rapidly. They gradually drift apart until they never see each other again.
She doesn't want to see such a future.
She hopes that all her friends are doing well, that they can grow and progress together, and that when they get old, they can all enjoy a carefree old age together.
Now that this era has confined them to this small, impoverished place, she will create a small opportunity for her friends, allowing them to develop their talents and create an environment suitable for their growth.
Then, we can all make progress together and move towards a better future.
This small textile factory was just the beginning!
"Our Qishui Brigade is united, easy to manage and unified, which is our advantage. Moreover, the area is vast, so it shouldn't be difficult to set aside a small textile factory. In addition, ten machines won't require too many people, so it won't interfere with the work in the fields and can also boost the economy of the entire Qishui Brigade."
