"Mr. Zhang, the purchasing personnel from the Western Theater Command are here. They want to purchase one million pieces of YARU cotton and thickened super jackets... The order must be completed before the year."
It’s less than a month before the Chinese New Year, and there are one million pieces. Even if the sewing machine is smoking, I can’t make so much!
Putting down the phone, Zhang Yaru frowned, trying to figure out how to make one million jackets in twenty-five days.
Seeing Zhang Yaru's lost expression, Lin Xiaoxi asked with concern: "Yaru, what's wrong? Are you encountering difficulties?"
"The procurement personnel in the Western Theater Command didn't know where they found out about our jackets. They ordered one million pieces. The money has already been deposited into their accounts. They must be delivered before the year."
When Lin Xiaoxi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You worked overtime for fifteen days to make the two hundred thousand pieces before. With your production capacity, you can't make it anyway."
Just after saying this, Zhang Yaru's phone rang again.
Zhang Yaru's uncle was about to cry, "Yaru, the military here ordered one million pairs of military boots. The previous production of 200,000 pairs would have cost you your life."
"The money has been credited to my account, but I don't dare to refund it. What should I do now?"
Then I got a call from my aunt who was producing hats. One million hats could not be finished in twenty-five days.
Fa Xiao Cao Zixuan also called, and there were more than a million pairs of gloves to finish.
It is military supplies, and it is also a winter jacket. It is not that summer clothes are thin and have less fabric, so they are easy to make.
Winter jackets, as well as related shoes, hats and gloves, are inherently thick, and no matter how special the craftsmanship and requirements are, it is really slow to make them.
It’s true that these people just paid the full amount without signing a contract.
Who does this kind of business?
But this is military supplies, the needs of the country, not business.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxi patted Zhang Yaru's back and whispered comfort, "Although briskness is more urgent, it also reflects from the side that your jacket is very good and has been widely recognized."
Hearing this, Zhang Yaru gradually calmed down, "That's right. Next, there are raw materials, but there are not enough workers and machine factories. There are also some special processes that need to be learned."
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes were dull, "Yaru, don't worry. Let me ask you about factories and workers. If there is no garment factory in Xilan County, then look for it in Yuxin City. If there is not one in the city, I will find it for you in the province."
Zhang Yaru held Lin Xiaoxi's hand tightly and said, "Xiaoxi, I'm leaving it to you this time."
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call right now." Lin Xiaoxi called Secretary Wang.
Secretary Wang was stunned. He didn't expect the YARU jacket to be so good. "Xiaoxi, there is a glove factory in our county that produces labor protection gloves. The machine is new, but I wonder if it can be used to produce military gloves?"
"In addition, we don't have a large clothing factory in the county, but I know there is one in the city. It is a semi-state-owned factory, used to house some female workers for demolition. Even with advanced equipment, the clothes produced cannot be sold."
"Secretary Zhang told me last time that if the business of our garment factory here is good, we can acquire the garment factory over there. Otherwise, just paying wages will not be able to bear the financial burden."
Lin Xiaoxi agreed, "Thank you, Secretary Wang. I'll tell Mr. Zhang and ask her to send someone to inspect the glove factory. I'll take someone to the city to find Secretary Zhang."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoxi called Secretary Zhang.
As soon as Secretary Zhang heard that Lin Xiaoxi conveyed Zhang Yaru's needs, he quickly said: "We have clothing factories, hat factories, and shoe factories. We can come over now to inspect."
These three factories employ tens of thousands of people.
If this can be revitalized, Yuxin City's economy will reach a higher level, and the income of people in the city will also be greatly increased.
Zhang Yaru asked Cao Zixuan to take people to the county glove factory to inspect. If the conditions were met, he would cooperate with the county glove factory to complete the order.
Lin Xiaoxi and Zhang Yaru returned to the YARU Jacket Factory, and ten people came from the northwest theater logistics procurement.
These people were sitting in the conference room, waiting for Zhang Yaru to come over.
But when they saw Lin Xiaoxi behind Zhang Yaru, these ten people immediately stood up and said, "Salute!"
Zhang Yaru was startled and waved her hands quickly, "No... no need, I..."
"Mayor Xiaoxi, thank you for your hard work. I am Yang Jinghui, Deputy Director of Logistics and Procurement of the Northwest Theater Command." The leader, a forty-year-old officer who looked like a leader, said quickly, with a very serious and respectful attitude.
Zhang Yaru blushed and looked embarrassed. She was being sentimental!
Lin Xiaoxi hurriedly returned the gift. She was not a soldier, so she bowed in return, "Comrades, thank you for your hard work. I heard that the production tasks here are heavy, so I came here to take a look."
"Comrade Yang, how do you know about the YARU jacket factory?"
Yang Jinghui replied: "Our leaders held a meeting in the northern war zone and learned that a batch of thickened, cotton-padded and very light jackets that are windproof, waterproof, fireproof and cold-proof have arrived. After personal experience, I feel that they are warmer than our previous cotton-padded jackets."
"In this year's extremely cold weather, we urgently need better performance jackets to protect our soldiers, so that the soldiers can better protect our country."
Lin Xiaoxi suddenly realized that it turned out that the previous 200,000 pieces of jackets had been well received.
Lin Xiaoxi thought about it for a moment, "Okay, Mr. Zhang and I will go to the city now to find a processing factory. We will try to have all the soldiers wear new-style jackets before the end of the year."
"Thank you Mayor Xiaoxi." Yang Jinghui thanked, "We want to visit too!"
"Okay!" Lin Xiaoxi agreed. After all, this is an order from the military, and people should pay attention to it.
Zhang Yaru took her uncle and aunt, as well as technicians from related factories, and followed Lin Xiaoxi to the city.
Secretary Zhang personally received Lin Xiaoxi and military procurement Yang Jinghui, and strived to revitalize these loss-making enterprises before the year.
When we arrived at the factory, although the equipment in the clothing factory was not as new as Zhang Yaru's factory, it could still make jackets.
There are also factories related to hats and shoes, but they are privately owned. They have finished producing winter clothing and are slowly producing spring clothing.
I heard that a big factory is coming to inspect and has a large order for processing with supplied materials, so of course I am willing!
They let the most skilled workers use the best machines and start making samples as required.
It's totally doable and up to par.
So Zhang Yaru transferred 200 skilled workers from the factory to instruct these people in related crafts.
Yang Jinghui led people to inspect the products and found that they met the requirements and he was very satisfied.
There is a large garment factory in Yuxin City with 4,000 employees, and its OEM business has been revitalized.
The workers don't care who buys the factory, as long as they work and get paid.
The workers, who had been idle for half a month, worked overtime and worked hard to make these orders.
Because the factory director said that as long as these orders are completed, there will be more orders in the future and there will be no layoffs.
I heard that you can earn 7,000 yuan for one month's work, and you can get 10,000 yuan with bonuses. You will definitely have a good year this year!
The same goes for shoe and hat factories in the city.
Although it is not a loss, it is not profitable throughout the year. With big orders, they all cherish them very much.
I heard that it is an order from the military. Not only can I do something for the people's soldiers, but they also have a long-term order, and their jobs are stable and their wages can be increased. The whole body is full of energy!
