Chapter 19 Building a Factory
  "Building a factory?" Qiao's family members all looked at Qiao Manman at the dinner table and asked in surprise.

"Yes, I plan to build a silk quilt factory in the village. This way I can buy the cocoons in the village and make them into silk for sale. This way our cocoons will not be priced down." Qiao Manman picked up a piece of beef and slowly said explain.

"But you just contracted the land, then you contracted Xiaohuashan, and now you want to build a factory. Where did you get the money?" Qiao's mother asked.

"Yes, Manman, we have to eat one bite at a time, and we have to do things slowly, little by little. How can we do it now when we have no other income except the vegetable field?" Dad Qiao also agreed.

Seeing the Qiao family like this, Zhou Zhou felt that Qiao Manman was really happy. On the contrary, my own home is in a state of chaos and irritation.

"I plan to build a small factory and cover all the cocoon production around us first. This way we don't have to invest too much."

After hearing this plan, everyone stopped talking.

"But Grandpa, I want to rent a place in the village. Are there any vacant houses nearby?" After saying that, he looked at Grandpa Qiao.

It would be too expensive to build a new factory, so we might as well find a smaller place to rent first.

"Yes, there is. It is the granary of our production team in the past. It was used to store grain. Now it is a bit dilapidated, but it has a lot of space.

But you still have to discuss this matter with your uncle. "

Qiao Manman was somewhat impressed after hearing what her grandfather said. When they were children, they were naughty and went to play hide-and-seek in the granary.

No one is passing by there now.

After making this plan, Qiao Manman brought some vegetables and some strawberries from his garden the next day and followed Qiao Jian to the captain's house.

The captain was not at home at this time, only the eldest aunt was.

She was sweeping her yard at this time, and was a little confused when she saw the Qiao family's father and daughter bringing things to her home.

"Qiao Jian, are you here to see your elder brother?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, where have you been?"

The eldest aunt quickly put all the garbage into the dustpan with a broom, and then brought out two chairs for the two of them.

"He went to your uncle's house for a visit and came back soon. Is there anything you want to do here this time?"

Just when Qiao Jian was about to speak, the captain came back. When he walked in, he saw the two father and daughter, and his smiles started to pile up again.

Qiao Manman has added a lot of income to the village, and I can't help but feel happy when I see her.

When the eldest aunt saw it, she gave up her seat to Qiao Aiguo, then got up and went into the room to pour four cups of tea.

"What's the matter here?" The captain got straight to the point.

Qiao Jian told the captain about their purpose, but before he responded, the eldest aunt became happy.

He grabbed Qiao Manman's hand and said, "Manman, do you really want to build a factory in the village? Then can I let your eldest brother and sister-in-law come back to work in the factory from outside?" The eldest aunt's son and daughter-in-law were working in the factory outside. Work inside.

With a salary of 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month, the two of them usually spend a lot of money. After all, they don't earn much in the village. And she only comes back once or twice a year. The eldest aunt also hopes that her son and daughter-in-law can develop by her side.

When Qiao Manman didn't respond, the captain interrupted the aunt, "What do you, an old woman, know? This hasn't been settled yet."

"It's not impossible to rent the granary in the village, but that granary needs to be repaired now, otherwise it won't be used at all." After saying that, he thought of something again, "Are you going to find someone from the village to work?" "I don't know yet. Uncle, I have to check out the machinery and equipment in a few days, and I’ll make sure when I get back.”

Dad Qiao also spoke at this time: "Let's take a look at the granary first. If it's too old to be used, we might as well rebuild one."

"Okay, let's go and take a look now. I'll get the keys first."

After arriving at the granary, Qiao Manman became more familiar with the place. Back then, it was built with blue bricks, and a strong door was built to prevent anyone from casually walking in. The wooden door still looks very solid and strong now.

When I walked in, I saw that the floor was still concrete, but a little rough, but it didn't matter. The space inside was about 300 square meters, and all the nearby grain was stored here.

However, some of the tiles on the top are damaged, and the repair costs are not too much and are acceptable.

Qiao Manman is quite satisfied. There are two doors here, one for entering cocoons and the other for producing finished products, which is quite convenient.

"Uncle, how much is the rent here?" Qiao Manman asked directly after the observation.

"I have never rented this place before, so I have to discuss it with our village committee."

"Okay, uncle, please reply to me as soon as possible. I may be out in two days and it may be too late." Qiao Manman wanted to sign the rental contract and arrange the maintenance work before he went out, and then put the machine in the machine directly after purchasing it. Here it is.

After the two said goodbye, the team leader hurried to the village committee. This was a big event. They, Qiaomuwan, were about to break out.

The team leader who came from the planned economy is very obsessed with factories. If there is a factory, there will be jobs, so you can work here.

He needs some snacks.

The village committee was very happy to hear this, as the granary was originally placed there. Renting it out can also make some money for the team.

"Old Qiao, this Qiao Manman in your village has a lot of potential. He has contracted fields and is going to build a factory. You guys are about to take off!" a cadre joked.

"Manman said, build a small factory first, and then consider expanding the scale when the benefits are good." Qiao Aiguo was quite proud. In the past, there was nothing to brag about in the village, but now he can finally show off.

"I saw here that we rent it out at 5 yuan per square meter." A cadre set the rent after checking the data.

Qiao Aiguo got the specific standards and rushed to Qiao Manman's house.

After talking to Qiao Manman about these things, the time for signing the contract was finalized.

After signing the contract, Qiao Aiguo took on the task of maintaining the granary. He was extremely busy for two days.

After returning home in the evening, the eldest aunt also felt a little distressed when she saw her husband like this: "Do you need to work so hard? It's not your factory."

As he said this, he handed the towel to Qiao Aiguo to wipe his face. He picked up the towel and rubbed it while saying, "If I don't do my best, will your son be able to come back to work? It's not for our son!"

He also doesn't want the young people in the village to wander outside, mainly because there are really no profitable and stable jobs in the village. Now that he has finally arrived at a factory, it is still a factory owned by people from our own village. He must hurry up and let the Qiao family remember his feelings.

In the past few days, under the arrangement of the captain, the granary was quickly repaired, and Qiao Manman embarked on the road to Jiang Province.

This time Zhou Chengli introduced several factories to her, and she went to take a look at them all. If she could order all her machines on this trip, she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
