Chapter 2193 Export to Domestic Sales

Although Zhao Shucheng knew that exports might be converted to domestic sales in the future, that would be a long time in the future. He didn't expect that he would encounter it now, and it was his own product.

Song Yunhui felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. After all, the gift he prepared for his nephew was a product from his sister's village.

Zhao Shucheng saw the embarrassment on Song Yunhui's face and said with a smile: "Xiaohui, don't take it too seriously. I have to thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn't know that our products are so popular. Maybe we will have to expand production and expand sales next."

Seeing that their son had a good job and their daughter had a happy marriage and was even pregnant, Song Jishan and his wife felt that they were finally living a good life and the family happily had a reunion dinner.

However, Zhao Shucheng and Song Yunping both noticed that Song Yunhui was unhappy, so after dinner, while Song Yunhui went out to fetch water, Song Yunping asked Zhao Shucheng to ask Song Yunhui what was wrong.

Zhao Shucheng glanced at Song Yunping and said, "It must be because of work. Let him calm down first!"

"If you don't go, I will!"

After saying this, Song Yunping walked out angrily. Zhao Shucheng had no choice but to follow her to find Song Yunhui.

When Song Yunhui was sitting outside, he saw his sister coming over and sat there in silence.

"If you don't want to talk, just sit with me for a while."

"Sister, I'm a little tired."

"Is the situation at the factory different from what you originally thought?"

Song Yunhui said: "When I first arrived at the Jinzhou factory, I thought I had found a place to use my talents and wanted to do something with my own abilities. I didn't expect that other college students were assigned to offices, but I was assigned to work on the front line. Even the color of my safety helmet was different."

"I am embarrassed to say that every time they come to inspect our workshop as cadres, I feel uncomfortable."

Song Yunping said: "The child has been wronged."

"Ok!"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Xiaohui, I think this is a good thing. If you don't understand the specific situation of the front-line workshops, no matter how much knowledge you have, you won't be able to make full use of it."

After hearing this, Song Yunping glared at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Xiaohui, don't listen to your brother-in-law. Didn't you tell me in your letter that you have become a technician? Isn't this a good result? Are you putting too much pressure on yourself and feeling a little tired?"

Song Yunhui said: "I'm not afraid of being tired, but I've done so much and no one praises me, but some people deliberately make things difficult for me. This time, the leader of the factory criticized me by name, and the director asked me to come back."

Song Yunping said: "Did you do something wrong? That's why they criticized you and asked you to come back?"

"No, I don't know why, they asked me to come back."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Xiaohui, don't worry. Tell us what happened during this period and see where the problem occurred. Let's start from when you became a technician."

"it is good!"

After Song Yunhui agreed, he began to tell what happened after he entered Jinzhou Chemical Plant.

Song Yunhui was promoted to a technician by the factory because of his successful technical transformation of the first workshop, which greatly improved the equipment capacity. Director Min also arranged two technicians to be his subordinates and asked them to sort out the technical files of the first workshop as soon as possible.

However, Song Yunhui did not get along well with the two technicians in the same team, because those two people were not convinced by Song Yunhui, so they did not obey Song Yunhui's command, and just drank tea and read newspapers in the office every day. Song Yunhui was so angry that he could only go to Master Huang in the workshop and Xun Jianxiang in the dormitory to complain.

Of course, Song Yunhui was not defeated by this difficulty. He worked very hard, doing the work of three people alone, which was more tiring than the previous three-shift work. During this period, Master Huang and Xun Jianxiang could not bear to see Song Yunhui so tired, so they went to Director Min to reason with him. However, they were told that Song Yunhui was Secretary Shui's man, but was targeted by Chief Engineer Liu and Director Fei. The higher-ups deliberately arranged for Song Yunhui to suffer.

Later, for some unknown reason, Director Min gave Song Yunhui a vacation on the grounds that Song Yunhui worked too hard.

However, Song Yunhui, who has a strong sense of responsibility, is unwilling to put down the unfinished work in his hands, but Director Min said meaningfully: "If you are asked to complete all the work by yourself, how can you let other colleagues make progress?"

Song Yunhui felt that there was something else behind Director Min's words, but he knew that Director Min would not say it himself, so he went to his roommate Xun Jianxiang to complain.

Xun Jianxiang directly told Song Yunhui that he was suspended because he had offended someone. It is said that it was because Song Yunhui's technicians complained that Director Fei's secretary asked Director Min to teach Song Yunhui a lesson, but did not tell the specific reason. Director Min then arranged for Song Yunhui to take a vacation to avoid for a while.

After hearing this, Song Yunping said, "Xiaohui, this difficulty is only temporary. After you finish college, you will feel a little proud."

"No, my roommate Xun Jianxiang didn't go to college, but we are still good friends. He said that I don't have the airs of college students."

Song Yunping said, "I'm not asking you to compare yourself with others, I'm asking you to compare yourself with yourself. Are you more proud than before and not as tenacious as before?"

"Sister, in your eyes, am I not as strong as I used to be?"

Song Yunping said: "You have always been strong, this has never changed, but life has always given us problems, this has never changed either."

Song Yunhui nodded and said, "I think I understand what you mean."

"Xiaohui, you have been smart since you were young, and you had the best grades in junior high school, but you still couldn't go to higher education after graduation, so you had to go to the production team." Song Yunhui said: "I went to the Shanbei Brigade to join the production team, which is much easier than farming. I feed pigs for half a day and still have time to study. Otherwise, I would not have been the first in the county in the college entrance examination."

"At that time, I always went to see you because I was afraid that you would be discouraged and stop studying. But I saw that you didn't give up and lay there studying and doing exercises. Life was much harder on us back then than it is now. Did you feel tired? Did you feel discouraged? You kept studying on your own, even though we didn't know that the college entrance examination would be resumed later."

"Sister, I understand. Just because of the university place you gave me, I shouldn't be discouraged."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "You two siblings should cheer each other up here. In fact, Xiaohui's situation doesn't seem to be because he was reported, so he was dismissed. Instead, it seems that he was involved in a workplace struggle. By the way, Xiaohui, you said that you were considered Secretary Shui's man at the beginning. Do other leaders have a good relationship with you?"

"It should be okay, right? Anyway, Chief Engineer Liu in our factory is pretty good to me. He even asked me to lend him the most advanced books and materials I copied from abroad. However, I promised to lend them to Secretary Shui first and plan to give them to him after I return."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head helplessly after hearing this and said, "Silly boy, you have already offended people without even realizing it. Secretary Shui should be retiring, and Chief Engineer Liu must be working for the factory director now, but you gave the salary to Secretary Shui first and not to Chief Engineer Liu. How can they not punish you?"

"Isn't it?"

"That's right! Xiaohui, in the workplace, it's not enough to just have skills, education, and hard work. You also need to understand the ways of the world. Your factory should also have those highly skilled people, but they can only work on the front line all year round. This is because they don't understand the ways of the world. The factory leaders also know that he has good skills, but they are willing to keep him on the front line to work hard. On the contrary, those troublemakers or flatterers will be valued by the factory leaders."

Hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, several figures emerged in Song Yunhui's mind: the hard-working Master Huang, the troublemaker Xun Jianxiang, and the fawning Yu Shanqing.

"But I can't do that kind of flattery."

Zhao Shucheng said: "If you don't want to do this, you must work hard to improve your skills and become one of the best talents in the factory. If you are indispensable, then they will naturally value your ability."

"I will! I will never embarrass you. I will figure out all the technical means when I go back and show them to those who have made things difficult for me."

"now it's right!"

Song Yunhui cheered up and followed Zhao Shucheng and his family home. Zhao Shucheng and Song Yunping rested at Song's house for one night and returned to Xiaolei's house the next day.

The debt collection team led by Lao Hou also successfully completed the task and returned to the village with the debt. Lao Hou was quite capable. He could not enter the debt company directly, so he disguised himself as a rag collector and sneaked into the company to find out the details. Then he led the debt collection team to use the form of a shilling to make the debt company's debt known to everyone. The other party had no choice but to pay the debt to Lao Hou.

Zhao Shucheng praised the old monkey for his actions and allowed him to continue to be in charge of the rabbit fur purchasing station. He also gave bonuses to the members of their debt collection team so that they would be ready to set out again at any time.

Song Yunping's due date had arrived, and Zhao Shucheng was worried about her staying at Xiao Lei's house, so he simply took Song Yuping to live in the county and took her to the hospital for regular check-ups.

Soon Song Yunping gave birth to a big fat boy. When Lei's mother heard the news, she happily showed off in the village.

Zhao Shucheng and Song Yunping held their child and rode the village tractor back to Xiao Lei's home. Many villagers came to congratulate them. Zhao Shucheng simply set up a buffet in the village to celebrate the arrival of his son.

Time passed and soon it was 1985.

Over the past few years, Xiao Lei's family has been developing step by step, and the efficiency of the brick and tile factory and the prefabricated board factory has visibly begun to decline, and can even be considered to be only breaking even, and can no longer bring much profit to the village.

On the contrary, the construction teams of other companies continued to accept projects as usual and their income was decent. Moreover, the construction teams began to gradually accept people from nearby villages to join them, and sometimes even started several projects at the same time.

The rabbit hair farm has almost become a supplier to the wool spinning mill, and there is no need to sell to the outside world. The wool spinning mill has also been put on the right track, and even Xiao Lei's own brand has become famous. Not only does it earn foreign exchange through exports, but even some products that cannot be exported have been snatched away by domestic customers who come here because of the reputation.

In fact, Zhao Shucheng was reluctant to do this at first, after all, it would affect the reputation, but he could not resist the requests of the villagers and buyers, so he had to agree. However, Zhao Shucheng made up his mind that when the time was right, he would process the inferior rabbit hair into other products and no longer pass inferior products off as good ones.

The bamboo weaving factory still handles foreign trade orders as usual and does not sell domestically at all. It has even established a good reputation internationally and no longer needs to go to the Canton Fair to promote its products. Instead, customers continue to come to Xiao Lei's store to purchase.

This year, the price of rabbit hair has risen sharply, and the prices of the wool spinning mill's products have also increased, making the villagers very excited. But while everyone else in the village is happy, Zhao Shucheng is worried.

People have seen the increase in the price of rabbit fur, from a few dozen yuan per kilogram to more than 200 yuan, but they have not seen the hidden worries behind it. After all, after the overall price increase, other people will see that Angora rabbits can make money, and they will definitely start breeding Angora rabbits. The breeding cycle of Angora rabbits is short, and they can even give birth to pups in three months. The scale can be multiplied several times in a year.

The export of rabbit hair has earned tens of millions of dollars for the country, becoming a key product for earning foreign exchange, and even a leading product for earning foreign exchange in many counties and cities. For many regions, which are poor and blank, breeding angora rabbits does not require any high technology, so they must be strongly supported.

As far as Zhao Shucheng knew, the scale of Angora rabbit breeding in Jinling County alone had increased several times since 1982. This year, more and more people were breeding Angora rabbits, and even many places in urban and rural fringe areas had started breeding them.

Not only Jinling County, but also counties near Shanghai have begun to encourage diversified operations and even held rabbit competitions to attract more farmers to raise angora rabbits.

And because the economic value of Angora rabbits is so high, criminals have begun to covet rabbit farmers and steal Angora rabbits everywhere. For this reason, newspapers have even published special comments, saying that the frequent theft of professional Angora rabbit farmers should be attacked by all.

However, in this prosperous area, Zhao Shucheng was the first to sense that the Angora rabbit product market had fluctuated. First, in the spring, the wool spinning factory's products exported abroad were not as popular as before, and even buyers began to contact Zhao Shucheng, hoping to lower the price.

Zhao Shucheng also knew that the Plaza Accord would be signed that year, which would induce an orderly depreciation of the US dollar against major currencies, thus triggering turmoil in the international market.

It seems that it has little to do with Xiao Lei's family, but in fact it is closely related. After all, Xiao Lei's family's main income now basically relies on foreign trade products to earn foreign exchange, and the turbulence in the international market and the reduction in the price of wool textile products will naturally affect Xiao Lei's family.

Maybe bamboo weaving products will not be affected much, but rabbit hair and wool spinning products will face great challenges. Zhao Shucheng knew that the price of rabbit hair would fluctuate around 1985, but he never figured out why. But now it seems that the problem lies here.

On the one hand, it is the turbulence in the international market, and on the other hand, it is because the price of rabbit hair has soared. This production field with no technological content naturally attracted the entry of big capital, causing the price to plummet.
