Reborn in the 70s, doing whatever it takes to make money

All eyes in the conference room fell on the sales director.

Under the eager, expectant and nervous gaze of everyone, the sales director suddenly became a little nervous.

He knew very well that his approach might determine the fate of the county cannery.

Just when everyone was a little impatient, the sales director coughed, cleared his throat, and then said loudly: "Why don't we try to merge with Chulian Cannery?"

"merge?"

Everyone's faces showed a look of surprise when they heard this.

They had never thought of this method before.

"Merge? Is it possible?"

Someone asked tentatively.

Obviously.

The person who spoke was already moved.

Nowadays, Chulian Cannery is booming. People in Shunhe County, not to mention other counties, almost only recognize the cans of Chulian Cannery. Even if there are no Chulian cans on the counter, they would rather wait for two more days or go further. I go to the department store to buy it, and I don’t buy other brands of cans.

It can be seen that Chu Lian Canned Food has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If they merged with Chulian Cannery into one factory, wouldn't their factory's cans also be able to...

Why worry about not being able to sell the cans in the warehouse?

Director Li of the county cannery also changed his expression. He was also very excited about this method.

If he could annex Chu Lian Cannery and let Xu Qing from Chulian Cannery be his deputy director, then why would he worry about not being able to do something big?

By then, during his tenure as the director of the factory, the cans would be sold to other cities and even other provinces. It would definitely be an amazing achievement for him personally, and he might be able to take it one step further before retiring.

Just thinking about it briefly in his mind, Director Li was so excited that he wanted to nod his head and agree immediately.

But just when he was immersed in the fantasy of a better future, a discordant voice suddenly sounded in the conference room.

"When two factories merge, who is the leader and who is the second?"

As soon as this word comes out.

The smiles on the faces of everyone in the conference room faltered.

Yes.

When two factories merge, which one will be the main one and which one will be the second one?

They hadn't thought about it before.

Even the sales director who proposed this method had never thought about it.

Because in their minds, they are a county cannery. Merging with a factory under a commune is enough to give the other party face, but...

That was before.

If three months ago, their county cannery had proposed merging with the Xinzhuang Commune Cannery, Xinzhuang Commune Cannery would definitely have 120 percent approval, and everyone from top to bottom would have supported the merger under the county cannery, with the county cannery as the host.

But it's different now.

Chulian Cannery rises.

In the middle of the day.

Not only does it monopolize the canned food market in Shunhe County, but it also sells well in several surrounding counties, and the pace of sales has not stopped. It is said that the canned food from Chulian Cannery has entered the markets of several surrounding cities one after another, and the response has been very good. good.

Their status has been reversed.

Now it's the county cannery that's at a disadvantage.

With the current situation of the county cannery, it may not be easy to dominate after the merger.

Once they lose their dominant position, it will be extremely disadvantageous for them. A large number of people may lose their current status, such as Factory Director Li. Once the two factories merge, Chulian Cannery will be the leader. Director Xu should be the director who takes the responsibility.

What about Director Li?

Become deputy factory director?

Or transferred directly from the cannery?

Whether he is reduced to deputy director or forced to be transferred, this is not the outcome Director Li wants.

Director Li is like this, let alone others.

"What can you do?"

A leader who liked classical Chinese wrote a sentence in classical Chinese in desperation.

How to do?

"How about forget it and not merge!"

One leader whispered, afraid of losing his current position.

"Is there any way out without merging our factories?"

"Yes, if there is no merger, our position will be saved, but this is just a slow death. When the factory cannot pay wages, the employees below will definitely not be happy. If there is a riot, none of us as leaders will be able to escape. "

"Perhaps things will turn around in ten days and a half."

"A turning point? Where's the turning point? Anyway, I don't see any hope of a turning point."

"..."

Everyone began to sigh again.

A look of sorrow filled everyone's faces.

"Director, please think of a way!"

"Yes, director, you have the most options. Please think of a solution quickly."

"Director, I know you must have a way!"

"..."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Director Li again.

this moment.

All their hopes were pinned on Director Li.

Director Li felt like a big mountain was pressing down on him.

He couldn't breathe under the pressure.

"Director, we know that you have a relationship with the leaders above. Our factory is now at a critical stage of life and death. Director, please go find the county leaders to be accommodating!"

"Yes, factory director, ask the county leaders to come forward. With the support of the county leaders, won't it be easy for the two factories to merge and let our county cannery take the lead?"

"Yes, yes, this method is good. As long as the county leaders speak out, Chulian Cannery will definitely not dare to have any objections."

"..."

Everyone seemed to have found a new way, their eyes lit up and they started talking.

Director Li was also moved.

Yes.

How could he forget about this.

Find a leader!

"Accountant Wang, come out with me."

Director Li called Accountant Wang out of the conference room.

When other leaders of the county cannery saw this, they all smiled excitedly.

The factory director listened.

It seems that it won't take too long for the two factories to merge. Will they still have to worry about selling the cans in their warehouse?

……

Xinzhuang Commune.

Xu Qing came out of the secretary's office, walked to the commune building, got in the car, and left gracefully.

Behind them are pairs of envious eyes.

"Tsk, tsk! When will I be able to get into a car?" A commune leader said with a tsk as he looked at the car getting further away.

Another leader said angrily: "It's better to join the factory and become a leader. Look how long it took for Xu Qing to be transferred from the Women's Federation to the cannery. First she got a bicycle, and now she's directly on a car. Although we are leaders, we have to go to the countryside. It’s still an old bicycle whose parts have been replaced countless times.”

"That's because Xu Qing has the ability. Don't you know what the cannery was like before? After Xu Qing took office, he made drastic reforms and offended many people before making the cannery bigger and stronger. There are more than [-] people in our commune. This is a cannery company. If you are interested in joining the factory, why don't you go to the secretary to apply for joining the factory?"

Director Xue from the Women's Federation passed by and heard the two men's strange words and immediately responded.

What she dislikes the most is people who gossip behind others' backs.

and.

She has a special affection for Xu Qing. After all, Xu Qing once worked under her. Strictly speaking, she is Xu Qing's old leader. As an upright old leader, she is naturally happy to see Xu Qing achieve what she is today. Achievements, proud of Xu Qing.

The two commune leaders who were gossiping behind their backs were so reprimanded by Director Xue that they shut their mouths.

……

In the car.

Xu Jianbang looked at Xu Qing's slightly unhappy face, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Little sister, what does the secretary want from you?"

When no one was around, Xu Jianbang called Xu Qing his little sister instead of Director Xu. Xu Jianbang knew this very well.

After Xu Jianbang asked this question, he did not receive an immediate reply from Xu Qing. Just when he thought Xu Qing would not speak, he only heard Xu Qing's voice ringing in the car.

"It's not a big deal. The cars used by the commune leaders are still old bicycles. The secretary wanted to replace them with a batch of bicycles, but the commune had no money in its account, so it hit our cannery."

When Xu Jianbang heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly said, "Is it possible that the secretary is thinking about our factory's cars?"

Xu Qing breathed out a breath and said: "I didn't think twice about it when I bought the car. You said that our factory bought five cars at once. The factory leaders always drive cars when traveling. Not only does it save time and effort, but it is also very stylish and elegant." Face, and the leaders of our commune are still riding old bicycles when they go out to the countryside, which is no better than that. If you compare this, the leaders of the commune will definitely feel uncomfortable..."

Xu Jianbang said angrily: "You can't buy cars from our cannery even if you don't feel well? What's wrong with the old secretary?"

"Freeze said!"

Xu Qing scolded, then rubbed her brows and explained: "I can see that the secretary is also under pressure from other commune leaders... The secretary has helped me a lot, and this person is so busy that he wants to help..."

Done.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

Xu Jianbang nervously grasped the steering wheel in his hand.

I was afraid that the car would be taken away from me.

He has only been a full-time driver for a few days. If the car is gone, what kind of full-time driver is he?

Xu Qing came back from her thoughts, felt Xu Jianbang's nervousness, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't worry, they can't take this car away."

Paused.

She continued: "Although our factory is a little tight on funds because we bought a car, because the Chinese New Year is about to come, the sales of cans are much better than usual, and we have recovered some funds. It is not a big problem to buy two more second-hand jeeps. Two The jeep, plus seven bicycles, should be enough for the secretary and all the commune leaders.”

heard.

Xu Jianbang breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at the cannery, Xu Qing immediately called Zhu Feng, told the latter about the car purchase, and left the matter entirely to him.

After Zhu Feng left, Xu Qing was not idle and immediately threw herself into work.

The New Year is approaching, and people all over the country will prepare New Year's goods and give gifts before the end of the year.

At this time, canned food is also the best seller.

Because of the scarcity of materials in this era.

The variety of products is also pitiful.

Many people give gifts during the New Year, and their preferred gifts are just a few, and canned food is one of them.

As a person who has traveled through time in later generations, Xu Qing knows that the market before the end of the year is very important and cannot be neglected in the slightest.

Xu Qing picked up the pen and began to sketch and design new cans, packaging, and external slogans in her notebook...
