Chapter 418 Fruit Industry
Li Wen liked Director Liu's attitude even more. He liked this kind of cadre who was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush.
"Okay, thank you, Director Liu. But before introducing the factory, let me first talk about our Samsung team.
In the past few years, our team has indeed become a lot richer with its handicrafts.
However, this kind of prosperity can only enrich one village of our Sanxing Village Brigade at most, but it cannot bring about an entire commune or a county.
I have also heard in the past few days since I came back that many brigades and communes nearby are envious of the Sanxing Village Brigade.
So this time I plan to start a new project and bring the surrounding folks to make money and live a good life together.
As for why it is necessary to build a factory for our brigade instead of building it in a more developed commune or county, there is also a reason.
To be honest, the handicrafts of our Sanxing Village Team have become less popular in Hong Kong and overseas markets in recent years.
Moreover, in the past few years, many places in China have been engaged in the handicraft business. The competition is very fierce, and the price war continues.
Take the brooms and baskets we make as an example! The styles in many areas in the south are more novel and cheaper than those in Sanxing Village.
If I didn't have some favors in Xiangdao and everyone gave me some face, maybe this business would have come to an end." Li Wen paused here.
The reason why Li Wen said this was that when he just mentioned donating a factory to the village, most of the cadres in the village had their necks raised high and looked very proud.
Therefore, he decided to suppress the arrogance of the village cadres.
When Li Wen went home these days, he wandered around the village and found that everyone in the village, from the cadres down to the commune members, were very nervous.
If he doesn't suppress this evil trend in front of the leaders today, when the factory is built in the future, these village cadres will not be able to float to the sky.
Sure enough, when the commune cadres heard that the business in Sanxing Village was in jeopardy, their faces became gloomy. Apparently they understood the implication of Li Wen's words, and Director Liu also put away the smile that had been hanging on his face.
However, today was a happy day. Director Liu did not criticize the Sanxing Village cadres. That would be too inappropriate. He just wrote it down silently.
He planned to settle the accounts after Li Wen left in the next year. At that time, he would give a good lesson to the cadres of Sanxing Village so that they would always remember what the fine traditions of socialism were.
On the other hand, here in Sanxing Village! After hearing Li Wen's words, the cadres showed several different expressions, some frowned, some had old gods, their expressions remained unchanged, and some curled their lips in disbelief.
Seeing this scene, Li Wen frowned.
I am even more determined to ask the company to lower the prices of handicrafts in Sanxing Village this time when I return to Xiangdao, so that the people in the village will suffer and let them understand what it means to be severely beaten by the capitalist society.
"Comrade Li, the Sanxing Village Brigade is an advanced brigade in our Hanyang City, and it is also your hometown. You must help Sanxing Village more!" Director Liu was the first to break the silence and said anxiously.
"Yes, yes, Xiaowen, you have to help our brigade! You are a good boy of our Lao Li family." The brigade leader was a little panicked when he saw the commune director's face, and he directly played the emotional card.
When Li Wen saw the warning look in his father's eyes, he didn't want to go too far. After all, the village cadres here were basically his uncles and grandparents. If he went too far, he would definitely be beaten when he went back, so he had to change the topic.
"Director Liu, and all leaders, grandpa, and uncles, please listen to me.
I just used our Samsung Village as an example. I have no other intention. I just want to tell everyone that we are doing business with foreign countries and cannot use domestic methods.
The factories in our country are all iron rice bowls. They are all collective, directly connected with the upstream and downstream, and belong to planned production.
But in foreign countries, capitalism is a market economy, and the emphasis is on life and death.
Once your products fall behind, others will bankrupt your factory and make it impossible to continue.
Therefore, if we want to do business with foreign capitalism, whether we are making handicrafts now or factories in the future, we must learn to be prepared for danger in times of peace and keep making progress, otherwise we will be eliminated.
So when we talk about the factory project this time, I will inoculate you in advance to avoid problems in the future." Li Wen said in a gentle tone.
After hearing what Li Wen said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and finally understood what Li Wen meant by what he said just now.
"Comrade Li, don't worry, I will report to the county when I get back. From now on, we will strictly focus on production, ensure progress, and strive to make better products.
Similarly, when Comrade Li's factory is in place, we will always maintain high morale and strive to make the best products." Director Liu said.
Li Wen still agreed with the attitude of the commune leaders, and this was how he behaved like a leader.
Unlike their village, the village cadres do not know a few Chinese characters. They have become rich in recent years. They speak in an absurdly loud tone, but their horizons are very small.
"Director Liu, let's get back to business. The factory I just mentioned is not separated from our agriculture.
When I was in my hometown, I discovered that there were a lot of fruits here, and farmers planted them in front of and behind every house.
There is a big apricot tree in my yard. I ate it a lot when I was a kid. I can’t forget the smell now.
However, these things are good and good, but the planting area is limited, and the quality is uneven, so it is difficult to create much value.
You may not know that fruits and vegetables are more valuable than meat in Xiangdao. Many people can afford meat but cannot afford fruits and vegetables.
Therefore, this time I plan to cooperate with the commune and the county to plant apples and other fruits that can be stored and transported for a long time on a large scale here, and at the same time build supporting factories for bagging and packaging fruits." Finally.
, Li Wen said what he had planned for a long time.
When he first time travelled, when Sanxing Village sold peaches for the first time, Li Wen planned to get bagged fruits, make high-quality fruits, and earn foreign exchange.
This was not something he did without purpose. In his previous life, the fruits of Qin Province were famous all over the world. Li Wen remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, many fruits in the village were exported.
If Sanxing Village and Weihe County can develop the fruit industry decades in advance, people in the entire region will not have to worry about their livelihoods in the next few decades.
But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. At that time, Li Wen was stumped by just a simple fruit bag making machine. He really couldn't get it!
Even though Li Wen later went to Chang'an, there were factories that could manufacture such machines, but the cost of tens of thousands of dollars made Li Wen give up the idea.
Nowadays, tens of thousands of dollars is nothing to Li Wen! He can directly customize this kind of machine in Xiangdao.
When Li Wen came back this time, he wanted to donate this machine to his hometown, and then match it with high-quality fruit trees he cultivated in space, so as to produce high-quality fruits at high prices, so that they could be exported in large quantities and bring common prosperity to the people in his hometown.
As for growing fruits will delay growing food and cause people to have no food to eat, Li Wen is not worried at all.
In this era, foreign exchange is too precious for the country, but due to the problem of the faction, the country has been isolated and has very few opportunities to obtain foreign exchange.
In recent years, for a little foreign exchange, the whole country has been struggling to get by, otherwise they would not be able to pay back the money and replace it with supplies at a low price.
If Weihe County can generate hundreds or even tens of millions of foreign exchange every year, it goes without saying that the country will directly transfer food from other regions to support the people of Weihe County.
