Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 187 Competitors
Ji Sisi finished washing up and looked at the moon outside.

The weather is getting colder and colder, so she needs to take some time to go home and get two warmer clothes. She is now in the middle of her menstrual cycle and it is no longer convenient for her to go to the spiritual spring for a bath. She can only drink water from another spiritual spring.

Fortunately, the system provided a health check mode to ensure she could safely give birth to a healthy baby.

She only needs to enter the space, stand on the specific instrument and wait quietly for about three minutes, and the medical report will be displayed on the panel, including the condition of the baby in the womb.

This is something she does every day.

Once the second trimester was over, Ji Sisi planned to go home and rest for a while during the third trimester.

At night, at the slightest sound, Little Grey will immediately open its eyes, look around warily to check, and only return to its original spot to continue sleeping after confirming that there is no danger.

The next day, Hu Zhibin brought the person to his office.

Upon seeing Ji Sisi, Ma Xiaoqin grinned, bowed deeply, and said in a loud and clear voice, "Manager Ji, my name is Ma Xiaoqin, I have a junior high school education, I'm 19 years old, and I live in Huaihua Commune..."

Upon meeting, he took the initiative to introduce himself.

Ji Sisi's first impression of her was quite good; she had dark skin, regular features, particularly bright almond-shaped eyes, and was full of vitality.

"Okay, this will be your office from now on."

The room in front of Ji Sisi's door was the one she specifically reserved for her assistant.

As long as you are capable, you can learn a lot in the assistant position; you are often referred to as a multi-skilled talent.

With an assistant, Ji Sisi's work became much more convenient. Some of the running errands could be handed over to Ma Xiaoqin. The most exaggerated thing was that Ma Xiaoqin brought her lunch back at noon.

"Xiaoqin, I can actually do this myself."

As soon as Ji Sisi looked up, she smelled the aroma of food. Ma Xiaoqin put the lunchbox on the table.

“I had nothing to do, and since everyone else had gone to eat, but you hadn’t gone yet, I called back on the way.”

First day at work, not much to do.

"You don't need to do these things for me anymore. Go down and eat first." Ji Sisi also prepared to wash her hands and eat.

Eating in the office is inconvenient, and washing lunch boxes requires climbing up and down stairs, so it's much more convenient to eat in the cafeteria.

Just as Ji Sisi finished the last bite, a chorus of exclamations came from downstairs.

Ji Sisi was also drawn to the view. She went to the balcony and looked down. She saw Hu Zhibin sitting on the ground with a group of people around him.

"Manager Hu, are you alright?"

"What's the rush? There's still lunch in the cafeteria, you'll get your share!"

After checking that Hu Zhibin had no external injuries, someone joked and teased him.

Only Hu Zhibin hurriedly scrambled to his feet, asking, "Is Manager Ji in the cafeteria or his office?"

"I'm in my office," Ji Sisi said, standing on the second floor looking down at Hu Zhibin. "Come up here."

Hu Zhibin took two steps at a time, and the steps he took were the ones that collapsed the most.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, Ji Sisi filled a basin with water. "Wash your hands first. What's the rush?"

Hu Zhibin, without even washing his hands, sat down angrily and said, "Today I went to Gu County. When I stopped at the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cigarettes for Master Shi, I saw a construction site next door and casually asked the salesperson what they were repairing."

"Manager Ji, guess what it is?"

Seeing his agitated reaction, Ji Sisi tentatively guessed, "A food factory like ours?"

Hu Zhibin was stunned and looked at Ji Sisi in surprise.

"how do you know?"

"Judging from your reaction, you wouldn't be this agitated if it were another factory being repaired." "Our factory has only been built for less than half a year, and we already have a competitor! What if we wait until Gu County finishes its repairs and their business there collapses? Right now, although Gu County's business doesn't account for a large share, it still makes up about 20%."

Of the remaining business, Lu County gets three-tenths, the provincial capital gets four-tenths, and the other counties get one-tenth.

"It won't be fixed so quickly. Our factory took more than a month to build, and it was a small factory."

Ji Sisi was somewhat surprised that she had competitors so quickly.

Hu Zhibin shook his head, looking dejected. "That's not the case. It's because the original food factory in Gu County was expanded, and this area is specifically used to make beef jerky."

"They only need a production line and a formula to start making it immediately."

Hu Zhibin felt increasingly uneasy. He stood up and said, "No, I'm going to have everyone sign a confidentiality agreement right now. No one is allowed to leak the formula."

"Don't rush. I'll go down with you later and have a meeting with the production department."

Ji Sisi analyzed, "Since the sales clerk already knows about this, the other supply and marketing cooperative leaders must have been informed immediately. Have there been any problems with the orders from Gu County recently?"

"Yes, these seven or eight companies all ordered two months' worth of goods at once. It took Master Shi and me three days to finish delivering them. Today is the last day."

Hu Zhibin then realized the problem. At first, he thought it would be more convenient and save him from having to go to Gu County every few days.

I was thinking of going to the provincial capital with Gao Shu and the others, but I never expected that the group of people from Gu County would have such a plan!

Hu Zhibin was so angry after analyzing the situation that he gritted his teeth.

"Take advantage of this time to talk to the Luxian Department Store about business. Tell your department not to limit their targets to the supply and marketing cooperative anymore. The department store has a much larger flow of people. Get our products into the department store as soon as possible to increase brand awareness."

Ji Sisi didn't dwell on this issue; having competitors was inevitable.

In the end, every county might be making beef jerky, and in the end, it will only depend on the quality of the product, but price wars will be inevitable.

It's too early to say what will happen next.

Seeing that Ji Sisi was not in a hurry, Hu Zhibin's anxious mood was also relieved.

"Okay, I'll go downstairs to eat first." After finishing their business, Hu Zhibin's stomach started growling.

Ji Sisi nodded, sat down in the armchair, and pondered how to make Huaihua Food Factory more well-known.

The effect she wanted was for people to think of Huaihua Food Factory when they heard the word "beef jerky".

"Advertisement, yes, advertising!" Ji Sisi's eyes lit up as she realized there was another way to advertise.

With the current lack of communication, people could only get news from the outside world through newspapers and radio.

Finding a radio station was difficult, so Ji Sisi turned her attention to the daily newspaper.

Now there's the Huaxia Daily, a nationally unified newspaper and a major publication, which is beyond her reach.

In addition to national daily newspapers, there are also provincial and municipal newspapers for her to choose from.

The provincial capital is also challenging, so Ji Sisi plans to study the city newspaper, which is the local newspaper in Huatong.

"Xiaoqin!" Ji Sisi called Ma Xiaoqin in.

Ma Xiao quickly agreed, and when the next voice came, he was already at the door, "Manager Ji."

"Buy me a newspaper, a local one, preferably one you can bring tomorrow."

A newspaper costs fifty cents, so Ji Sisi gave Ma Xiaoqin the money directly to save herself the trouble of going through the formalities. Besides, they didn't even give her a receipt for buying a newspaper.
"Yes, Manager Ji."
