Furniture factory

The brightly colored, diverse and novel headbands are very popular in various communes. In addition, Lin Xuan mentioned that this headband is also sold in the county town. The person in charge of the commune immediately placed an order.

Lin Xuan took a car to the Red Star Commune in the fifteen communes under An County. She got off the car at each commune to promote her products in the local supply and marketing cooperatives. She visited five communes in one day, including the Red Star Commune. In addition to the department stores in the county town, the remaining six hundred or so headbands were all sold out.

She returned to Birch Village with an empty box and handed over all the payment and receipts to the accountant Xiao Li.

Xiao Li had never seen such a large income at one time except for the autumn harvest, and he was very happy.

Although the salesmen sent out had not been trained and were amateurs, there were always people with talent in sales. With their sales promotion, the first batch of goods produced by the jewelry factory was sold out, and the salesmen were still bringing back orders.

At this time, it was a collective economy. If they made money, the centimeter value of Birch Village would increase, and everyone would get more money at the end of the year. Seeing that the orders were still increasing, the people in Birch Village were so happy that they couldn't find their way. They all hoped that the second batch of materials would arrive quickly so that the female workers who had stopped working could continue to work.

Three days later, before dawn, it was pitch dark and there was a cold wind outside.

Gu Langhao and Lin Xuan quietly put all the goods on the tractor, and when it was light, they drove the tractor to the county town while the people in the production team were still asleep.

Lin Xuan signed for the things her parents sent, and went to the county department store and the supply and marketing cooperative to inspect the sales of the hairpins on site.

In just five days, the hairpins were almost sold out. They were about to place another order, but saw the two people simply handing them the order form to take back.

Gu Langhao returned to the team with the second batch of materials and two order forms, and was warmly welcomed by everyone. Everyone immediately moved the things to the warehouse, and the female workers in the jewelry factory started to work. Seeing the hairpins and hairbands they made being pulled out in batches, they felt indescribably satisfied.

Good news came from the furniture workshop. All the furniture Gu Langhao requested had been completed.

The technical content of the things he requested was not high, so the quality of the finished products all met the standards. There were no complicated carvings. They looked simple and generous, and the multifunctional design made the villagers jealous.

Gu Langhao dragged the furniture to Anxian Department Store again. This time Lin Xuan did not follow him, but two salesmen from the village went to help.

One of them was someone she knew, the educated youth Zhao Dongliang. His familiar, enthusiastic and cheerful personality was very suitable for sales. He brought back the most orders in the production team. The other was Deng San, a very talkative young man in the team. He was in his early twenties and about the same age as Gu Langhao.

The tractor stopped beside the entrance of the department store, and Gu Langhao went up to find Uncle Meng to check the goods.

The two of them arrived at the entrance together. Deng San and Zhao Dongliang were enthusiastically introducing the furniture on the tractor to passers-by, talking one after another like a crosstalk. Many pedestrians on the roadside stopped to watch, and some people showed their willingness to buy.
