Chapter 191: Getting there first
The densely packed small print below describes the expansion of the food factory, which mainly produces air-dried yak jerky, and provides a detailed introduction to air-dried yak jerky.

It's like they're selling dog meat under the guise of mutton; the whole thing is about beef jerky. Isn't that just advertising?
Ji Sisi hadn't expected that the people of Gu County would actually realize the importance of using newspapers to create a buzz.

"Fifty..."

Ma Xiaoqin nodded. "You asked me to find the newspaper before, and I've been keeping an eye on it ever since. I saw this when I went to the office to buy some today. Will it have any impact on our factory?"

"Definitely. Recruiting fifty people at once is already a big enough gimmick. People who haven't tried our beef jerky before will definitely think we're imitating Gu County Food Factory after seeing it in the newspaper."

Ji Sisi had a headache; why did this have to happen as soon as she came back?

She put the newspaper aside and could only look at the orders for beef jerky and beef sauce to replenish her funds and change her mood.

"Xiaoqin, our contract with the transportation company seems to expire in a month. If you have some free time recently, please go and renew it. Just bring the contract back for me to sign, and then have the sales department send it over."

After Ma Xiaoqin left, Ji Sisi couldn't help but worry about County Chief Wei.

He must have seen this newspaper a long time ago. It was published here first, but now it has been exposed by the people of Gu County.

When Hu Zhibin heard that Ji Sisi had returned, he came upstairs as soon as Ma Xiaoqin left.

"Manager Ji," Hu Zhibin said, a lump in his throat as he saw the newspaper on the table, "You saw it all?"

"You're here! Your department is doing great. Orders for beef jerky are almost catching up with those for beef dried beef. Thank you for your hard work."

Hu Zhibin was flattered and said proudly, "I have more good news to share. Last night I signed a contract with Manager Wu of the department store. From now on, our factory will order 800 jin every month, and 1,000 jin during holidays. We will order 1,000 jin of beef jerky and 500 jars of beef sauce."

Hu Zhibin spent a long time negotiating this deal, contacting people everywhere to arrange meetings and meals, and using all sorts of methods before finally signing the contract.

This really surprised Ji Sisi. The department store business alone generated more than 10,000 yuan in revenue per month.

"Excellent. With this achievement, you're still able to remain in your manager position; that's a level no one can reach for now."

No wonder she saw such a large order quantity; it turns out it was from a department store.

In the two days she was away, 3,000 jin of beef jerky and 1,500 canned goods had already been ordered. The newly recruited staff had all been assigned to their respective positions, and the factory was expanding step by step.

"However, Gu County has already said they will no longer accept beef jerky. I estimate that once they learn how to make beef jerky and beef sauce, Gu County's business will most likely be ruined."

Ji Sisi felt it wasn't that simple. "Not only that, they can go to other counties and the provincial capital just as well.

"What should we do?"

"Relax. As a sales manager, you need to have confidence in our products. Why do people choose us? At least we have an advantage in terms of taste and price. We've already lowered our prices enough. If the prices in Gu County were any lower, we'd be losing money."

"As for the taste, I'm very confident about that."

This tastes just as good as what she ate in her previous life, and in her previous life, she had more than one competitor—hundreds of them.

As long as the taste is good and the price is reasonable, Ji Sisi believes that people will continue to buy from her.

"By the way, aren't you having your wedding banquet tomorrow? Why didn't you take the day off to go back and prepare?"

If Ji Sisi remembered correctly, it should be tomorrow. She found it strange that the person in front of her wasn't nervous at all.

"Yan Hong twisted her ankle by accident. We'll have to wait a while until her ankle heals before choosing a new date."

"Then let me know when you've chosen a date. I'm going back to prepare for childbirth at the end of the month. If anything happens, just have Sister Hongying bring it back."

What happened that day left Ji Sisi with considerable psychological trauma, so for safety's sake, she decided to go back early. Today is only the 2nd, and there are still 29 days until the end of the month, after which she will officially enter her late pregnancy.

The first child, lacking experience, is always treated with extra care and attention.

"Okay, once the baby is born, be sure to have Sister Hongying pass on a message to us."

Ji Sisi smiled and nodded in agreement.

The food factory has been receiving payments back from various places.

Ji Sisi took the advertising plan to the commune and sat down in the meeting room again with several cadres and Director Yan to discuss the expansion of Huaihua Primary School.

"Expansion? But where will the money come from?"

When Secretary Feng heard that the expansion was possible, he was initially pleased, but then became doubtful.

Ji Sisi smiled slightly, "Secretary Feng, this idea was mine, and I also suggested that Huaihua Food Factory pay for it."

"If possible, I would like to invite the leaders to take photos at the elementary school. It would be even better if we could invite a reporter from the newspaper to take some photos as well."

"Providing children with a better learning environment is good, but the construction will cost a lot of money. Can the food factory afford it now?"

Director Yan was worried. After getting to know Ji Sisi better, he always felt that this girl must have something else she hadn't said.

"It depends on how much you want to take out. You definitely can't take out more than that, but if you grit your teeth, you can still manage to come up with five thousand yuan."

Five thousand dollars can do a lot of things: expand the children's activity area, buy hundreds more desks and chairs. In short, five thousand dollars is more than enough.

"Five thousand?!"

"Can a food factory really produce this much?"

The cadres were all surprised and incredulous. In their eyes, it would be good if the Huaihua Food Factory could earn three thousand yuan a month. They never expected that Ji Sisi would take out five thousand yuan as soon as she asked.

They finally realized that they had underestimated the food factory's capabilities.

"I don't object. Children's education is the most important thing. I support Comrade Ji Sisi's decision!"

Upon hearing the amount, Secretary Feng immediately raised his hand in agreement.

Director Yan also raised his hand, "I agree, but I still want to ask, why were reporters invited to take pictures of this?"

"Director, look." Ji Sisi showed everyone the newspaper that Ma Xiaoqin had brought over half a month ago.

Director Yan spoke up, "I've seen them. A bunch of shameless bastards."

The newspaper's print was eye-catching, and the meeting room was small, so the other cadres could easily read it with a glance. Then they started hurling insults at Gu County.

"You want to report this too? Gu County only has fifty jobs; are you trying to create a stir by building a primary school?"

Director Yan realized what Ji Sisi was up to and guessed her purpose.

Ji Sisi agreed, "Director, you guessed right. This time, I not only want to donate money, but also a batch of supplies, 100 kilograms of beef and 50 bottles of beef sauce to the primary school."

If reporters are invited, they will definitely report the truth; Ji Sisi has already made up her mind.

When the time comes, place the donated beef jerky and beef sauce in the center, with the leaders standing behind the donations, mainly as a supporting element.
