"There is one more important thing that I need your help with."
"Nowadays, the status of rural women is generally lower than that of urban women. The reason is that they have no money and lack of confidence. I believe that the work of the Women's Federation is not just about solving the conflict between parents and parents. We can find new ways for them to find employment and increase income."
Gao Xiuhua had a sudden enlightenment, yes, only those with money have the right to speak, and words should be rough and rational. For example, her husband's family looks down upon her because of the high monthly salary she receives.
Jiang Anan deliberately blushed, scratched the back of her head and said sheepishly: "Actually, my eldest sister's divorce has caused the family to lose its source of income. She is heavy and not suitable for farm work, so I thought about finding something for her, such as sewing buttons. Easy odd jobs.”
Her frankness was actually endearing, and undoubtedly made Gao Xiuhua like her even more: "Although your starting point is for your eldest sister, your welfare is for the majority of female comrades. However, private work is prohibited now."
Jiang An'an had already thought about this, and she took out the certification documents issued by the brigade: "For example, sewing hems, ordering buttons, cutting threads, etc., all of which can be done at home without much skill. It can be contracted to the brigade, and then the brigade will allocate it according to the actual situation. In this way, the risk and cost of the factory can also be reduced."
Gao Xiuhua has recently been worried about how to report to work at the end of the year, and Jiang Anan's proposal gave her inspiration.
People's lives are generally difficult now, and many people don't have enough to eat or keep warm. If the Women's Federation can mobilize the majority of female comrades to do handicrafts to subsidize their families, not only will the year-end reporting work be available, but the status of the Women's Federation among the masses will also be enhanced, making it easier to carry out work in the coming year.
Jiang Anan took the opportunity to suggest: "It is better to use the Nanxi brigade as a pilot. If it goes well, it can be promoted to other brigade next year, and finally surround the city from the countryside. It is not limited to sewing buttons, making velvet flowers or pasting matchboxes."
She naturally has selfish motives. The Nanxi brigade is the first to eat crabs. When the villagers receive benefits and are envied by other brigade, they will naturally be more grateful and trust her.
"If you don't worry, you can leave this matter entirely to me and I'll go negotiate with the quilt factory."
If Jiang Anan wants to prove his worth, he must show his strength.
The most important thing is that you take the lead in the plan you propose, so that others will not take away the fruits of victory.
-
The quilt factory is located in the west of the city.
Looking around, a gray factory building stands in the countryside, covering an area of four to five hundred square meters and is quite impressive.
With a letter of introduction issued by the Women's Federation, Jiang Anan successfully entered the quilt factory. But as soon as he entered the front desk, he was told by the secretary: "The factory director is out, please come back in a few days."
The attitude is distant and formulaic, that is, there is no clear meeting time, and there is no confirmation whether you can really see the factory director when you come? Even with the support of the Women's Federation, Jiang Anan, a small intern, was not taken seriously by the secretary.
Jiang Anan grabbed a handful of White Rabbit toffee from his pocket, stuffed it into the secretary's hand calmly, and asked with a smile: "When will the factory director come back? I have to go back and report to Director Gao later. This is For the first time, the Women's Federation has taken the lead in organizing activities with the Hongqi Commune, which the higher-ups attach great importance to."
When the secretary saw the white rabbit toffee, her eyes immediately lit up.
In addition, Jiang Anan's matter seemed to sound extremely serious, so she changed her voice and said: "If it is a general business, our manager Li can also make the decision. Please sit down for a few minutes, and I will go find the manager."
This handful of toffee was given by the salesperson when I bought the cream last time. Although giving it away was a bit painful, it was better than having to go back and forth.
It didn't take long to meet the manager.
The manager is a woman of about 40 or 50 years old. She is dressed in a smart black Lenin suit and has short ear-length hair. She looks simple, capable and heroic.
She was holding a notebook and a Hero brand pen in her hand, and she obviously attached great importance to this meeting with the Women's Federation.
Jiang Anan's eyebrows were curved: "Hello, my name is Jiang Anan. This time I visited the clothing and quilt factory specifically because I want to discuss cooperation with your factory and seek some benefits for the majority of female comrades."
At the same time, the other party was also observing her.
Although he looks young, he must not be an adult. But the little girl's features were clear and generous, and she spoke confidently without showing timidity.
Based on this alone, Li Guangrong made two points in her heart. She said solemnly: "Go to the office to talk."
There happened to be a conference room next to the front desk. After the two of them took their seats, the secretary poured two cups of hot water and closed the door before exiting.
Manager Li's posture was upright, with his hands folded in front of the table.
The atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Jiang An'an had seen bigger scenes than this, and was not afraid at all. She was the first to speak: "Manager Li, the Women's Federation and the Hongqi Commune plan to organize women to carry out production self-rescue, using the Nanxi Brigade as a pilot, and came here to seek cooperation with the garment factory. .”
She first took out the letter of introduction from the Women's Federation, and then the certification documents from the Nanxi Brigade. The red official seal stamped showed the authenticity of the matter.
Li Guangrong's face was expressionless and he tapped his finger on the table: "What kind of cooperation?"
Jiang Anan: "Many garment factories need to outsource part of the sewing and processing process. We plan to contract it in the name of the brigade and distribute it to women with family difficulties, in exchange for cents through labor."
Hearing this, Li Guangrong was a little moved. Although it was indeed a good thing for the female compatriots: "But why should our factory contract to the Nanxi Brigade? We can also contract to other brigades or other communes."
This is a typical professional elite!
Jiang Anan had a clue in her mind and reorganized her words: "I went to a department store with my mother two days ago and found something interesting. The fashionable clothes displayed in the mall all come from Shanghai. Lenin suits, plaid shirts, Bragi , the colors are mainly black, white and gray, and the styles are quite neutral.
To be honest, we can all make these clothes and styles, and local brands have inherent advantages, but there is not a single product in the mall. The reason lies in the brand.
Just like everyone knows that Shanghai products are avant-garde and fashionable and are a symbol of wealth and status, so whether they are creams or Shanghai brand watches, they can attract people. "
brand?
This word was not yet popular in 1972.
Li Guangrong's brain seemed to have cleared away the rain and fog, and he was enlightened. The fragmented thoughts in his mind seemed to have found a breakthrough. If the recognition of the clothing and quilt factory among the villagers is increased, will it one day become another Shanghai product?
For the first time, she looked squarely at the pretty little girl opposite.
Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a good brain!
Jiang Anan's lips curved a little more: "If this event can be successfully carried out, articles will be submitted to major newspapers in the name of the Women's Federation to share experience with Women's Federations in other regions. At the end of the year, it will be reported to all counties as a model Leaders, even city leaders, listen. Of course, we will not forget that it was our brother factory that provided the outsourcing work."
Every word has a profound meaning.
Do you want the Women's Federation to advertise your factory for free?
Do you want to praise your factory in front of county and city leaders at the end of the year?
Do you want to improve the reputation of the clothing and quilt factory in Yunzhou County and even across the country?
