Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 42

Chapter 42: This is a success?

Song Chu didn’t directly mention exchanging goods, but instead, she praised them first.

“Director Li, your textile factory is a leading enterprise in our county. From the leadership to the workers, everyone is striving on the front line every day, producing so much cloth, allowing more people to wear clothes. You serve the people and contribute to the country, you deserve our respect.”

Director Li didn’t expect Song Chu to say such words. Seeing the genuine respect on her face, he felt a little proud.

Although they were just a textile factory, it was just as Song Chu said, they were enabling more people to wear clothes, serving the people, and contributing to the country.

The smile on his face deepened, “Serving the people is what we should do.”

Song Chu smiled and said, “The people in our village admire you workers who serve the country and the people the most.”

“You are contributing to the country, but we can’t help much. We think about how hard you work, but you have difficulty getting cooking oil. We feel bad about it. It just so happens that we found a large area of oil tea trees on the back mountain of our village, which can produce a lot of oil. So we thought about sending some oil to your factory workers every month.”

“We can lack anything, but we can’t let the worker comrades lack oil.” She said spiritedly and righteously.

The smile on Director Li’s face grew wider, “You, little comrade, have a high level of awareness.”

“Are you really sending us oil every month? Free of charge?” He pointedly asked.

Although he was very happy and proud to be praised by Song Chu, he was no fool. There weren’t that many free lunches in the world.

Song Chu nodded, “Since we’re saying it’s a benefit for the worker comrades, how can we ask for money? Of course, it’s free.”

Then she changed the subject, “It’s just that there are many villagers helping out at our oil pressing workshop. They want the worker comrades to have oil to eat, and they don’t even ask for work points. If your factory has any defective fabrics that you can’t sell, you can give them some as a token of appreciation.”

“It also represents that the worker comrades care about us farmer comrades. Workers and farmers are one family. They will definitely be very happy and work harder to press oil.”

Song Chu knew that the main trick in these factories was the so-called “defective products,” which were kept for internal use or given away as gifts.

After hearing this, Director Li understood Song Chu’s plan. She was planning to exchange oil for cloth.

However, this little comrade was very interesting. First, she flattered them and offered benefits, then she mentioned the worker comrades’ appreciation. She instantly elevated the transaction to the level of workers and farmers being one family. If they refused, wouldn’t they be letting down the good intentions of the farmer comrades?

Besides, the factory workers were currently having difficulty getting cooking oil. If they could get oil every month without using oil tickets or money, just by using some of the factory’s surplus cloth, why wouldn’t they?

They couldn’t just accept the good intentions of the farmer comrades, they also had to show their appreciation to the farmer comrades. They were all doing this for the sake of workers and farmers being one family. This was a good explanation.

Director Li smiled and said, “Little comrade, you’re right. We are very happy to have farmer comrades like you thinking of us. We will work harder to contribute to the country and the people.”

“You’re sending benefits to our workers, and we can’t let down your good intentions. I’m here to represent the whole factory to thank you.”

“You usually have difficulty getting cloth to make clothes, and we also care about the lives of farmer comrades. I’ve decided to send you a batch of cloth every month as a token of appreciation. We workers and farmers are one family. Only by uniting can we better serve the country and the people.” He also said righteously.

Song Chu excitedly stepped forward and shook hands with Director Li, “I’m so touched. After I go back, I will definitely promote Director Li’s concern to the comrades in our village, and I will also thank Director Li, a good cadre, on their behalf.”

Director Li thought this sounded good. He had always considered himself a good cadre. He shook hands with Song Chu, “Little comrade, you flatter me. Serving the people is what I should do.”

“Then it’s settled. I’ll have people deliver the oil tomorrow.”

“No problem. I’ll have the logistics people prepare the cloth in a bit. You can take it back with you tomorrow.”

With that, both parties reached an agreement. They would exchange the same amount of cloth for however much oil was delivered each month.

◈◈◈

“Director Li, please take this bottle of oil back and try it first. Our oil pressing workshop is just starting up and we don’t have much experience. We don’t know if the oil we pressed suits the taste of the worker comrades. If there are any problems, Director Li, please give us your feedback so we can improve.” Song Chu pointed to the oil on the table.

Only Song Chu could come up with such a unique reason for giving a gift, but it suited Director Li’s taste perfectly.

“Then I’ll try it first on behalf of the comrades in the factory. If there are any issues, I’ll let you know, and you can improve.” Of course, Director Li wouldn’t accept a bribe. He was just trying the oil first on behalf of the workers and farmer comrades to see if it was suitable.

“Thank you so much, Director Li.” Song Chu had a grateful expression on her face.

Director Li waved his hand, “Little comrade, you’re too polite.”

After the discussion, Song Chu chatted with Director Li for a while longer, and they engaged in some more “business mutual flattery.”

When they left, Director Li even condescended to stand up and see them out the door.

“……” Having been escorted out of the office and witnessed the whole process, Song Lao Si and Tang Qing were completely dumbfounded. It was settled so quickly and easily?

Damn, so you could play it like this? Big Sister/his sister was too awesome. A door to a new world had opened for them.

After leaving the textile factory, Song Lao Si swallowed and said, “Sister, this is a success?”

Song Chu glanced at him, “What else?”

“Workers and farmers are one family. Worker comrades and farmer comrades are all part of the proletariat, all serving the people. No one is superior to anyone else. In the future, when you meet these leaders, be confident and don’t be so timid.” She said meaningfully.

Song Lao Si and Tang Qing were deeply impressed. His sister/Big Sister was too eloquent and too good at persuading. To be able to describe a transaction as workers and farmers being one family, only she could do it. They had to admire her.

“Sister, you’re amazing.” Song Lao Si genuinely felt that his sister had been wasted in the past. Now, he felt like there was nothing she couldn’t do.

Originally, he had some doubts about whether the chicken farm could be established, but now he firmly believed that his sister could do it.

Tang Qing also had a look of admiration, “Yeah, Big Sister, you’re amazing.”

He was even more determined to follow Big Sister.

Song Chu wasn’t modest, she raised her chin slightly, “Of course.”

She then instructed the two, “Learn from how I did it just now. Use your brains and think. It will be useful in the future.”

She would be busy in the village in the future and wouldn’t have time to come out andpersuade people anymore. She wanted to train Song Lao Si and Tang Qing to become the future sales backbones of the breeding farm.

The two nodded in agreement, “Learn, we definitely need to learn more from you.”

Next, Song Chu took the two to the sugar factory and the furniture factory. Using the name of workers and farmers being one family, she exchanged for a batch of sugar and a batch of furniture with the logistics leaders.

Finally, they went to the machinery factory.
