The first of the several factories that Liu Hongyi suggested setting up was a feed factory and a supporting pig farm.

However, the feed factory was built near Yanggou Commune, which was relatively close to Yanggou Farm, and the pig farm was also built there, so Mu Yuanping put the feed factory and pig farm at the last stop, together with Yanggou Farm.

First, I went to the outskirts of the city to see the enamel products factory.

This is a factory that covers a relatively large area.

This is also the "last" sum of funds Liu Hongyi reserved for the enamel factory's future.

He knew that enamel factories, with their low-tech, labor-intensive nature, would eventually be eliminated. But at the moment, they were the most suitable factories for the Chuzhou region, providing employment for many returning educated youth and unemployed urban youth.

The key products produced can also be sold. Part of them are exported to earn foreign exchange, and the other part is sold domestically. There is no need to worry about sales.

In the next few years, as the country gradually implements reform and opening up and people's living standards gradually improve, the demand for daily consumables such as enamel products will further increase.

The enamel factory can remain popular for many years.

It will gradually become outdated only after entering the 21st century.

This piece of land can be sold at a good price in the future when the real estate market booms, which is enough to solve many problems.

The enamel factory began planning at the end of 76 and officially started production in June 77. It has been expanding along with production and has now reached a considerable scale. It mainly produces enamel washbasins, enamel bowls, and various types of cups.

There is also a tinplate products workshop that produces various buckets and kitchen supplies.

The enamel products produced were of good quality, and the key was the exquisitely designed patterns, which were less rustic and more fashionable. Mu Yuanping nodded repeatedly as he looked at them. He picked up an enamel washbasin and examined it carefully, saying with a smile, "Secretary Jianguo, this is very well made. We didn't have access to such a good product before..."

He is roughly the same age as Huang Jianguo, and the two have similar experiences.

Huang Jianguo smiled and said, "Who says it's not true? Life was really hard in the early days of the People's Republic of China... Director Mu, I've learned that after their enamel factory was established, comrades in Chuzhou only need one industrial roll to buy a washbasin. It used to take five!"

"It has greatly facilitated the people."

As the provincial party secretary in charge of industrial work, Huang Jianguo is very concerned about product quality and factory production capacity.

At the beginning, he was also the provincial party committee leader who most supported the development of factories in Chuzhou area.

"Well, I remember the report saying that the Chuzhou region originally built this factory mainly for export and foreign exchange earnings. How is the situation now?"

This is also the point.

Mu Yuanping follows Comrade XX and knows the current situation of the country very well.

Every dollar of foreign exchange is extremely valuable to the country, and all imported products have to be exchanged for it.

The problem is that we have little foreign exchange.

There are not many products that can be exported to earn foreign exchange.

Huang Jianguo became even more excited when he mentioned this, and said with a laugh, "Director Mu, the export earnings are very good. According to feedback from various channels, the enamel products they produce are very popular in many countries, especially in the Third World."

Third world countries are generally poorer, but no matter how poor a country is, it always has to do business with the outside world.

As long as the products are sold and circulated, they can be converted into money.

"Oh, that's good, that's good..."

Mu Yuanping nodded repeatedly.

Huang Jianguo took the opportunity to say, "Director Mu, you think you could give the relevant departments a heads-up and ask them to give us more export quotas. Our production capacity is definitely not a problem. Lao Gao and Lao Ai have set up a vocational and technical school to train workers. The workers have very good production skills and can go straight to work after graduation. They've done a pretty good job in terms of transition."
