Chapter 200 Receiving a Big Order

"Five hundred catties each of beef jerky, beef jerky, and beef sauce?!"

They placed a huge order for 1,500 jin (750 kg) all at once, and it even said they wanted to sign a one-year contract, with a minimum order of 500 jin (250 kg) each time.

After reading it, Hu Zhibin was also deeply moved. More people from other provinces would take the initiative to contact the food factory.

This means that the beef jerky from Huaihua Food Factory is truly famous.

"This is our first order from another province, I never expected it to be this big!" Hu Zhibin was so excited that he could hardly speak, his words coming out in broken sentences.

"But it takes one or two days to travel to and from other provinces. Will our current van be able to fit everything?"

Ji Sisi had also considered this issue, but this time she didn't want to rent a car from the transportation company again, as the monthly expenses were not low. If possible, she would like to ask two instructors to teach the two instructors individually.

Nowadays, drivers not only need to know how to drive, but also need to learn maintenance skills; they can be considered all-rounders.

He can handle both repairing cars and driving.

"Based on the money we have in the account, what do you think about us buying a vehicle? How about buying a truck, specifically for running errands to other provinces?"

When Hu Zhibin heard that he could buy a car, he was initially excited, but then he thought about it again.

"But we only have this one order from another province right now. Wouldn't that be a bit of a waste?"

"Just because there's only one order now doesn't mean there will be more in the future. Besides, it was the department store that approached us first. Once their goods arrive, other supply and marketing cooperatives will definitely follow suit."

This deal was a good start. Originally, Hu Zhibin and his team planned to wait until things stabilized in the province before venturing into other provinces.

“You’re right, but buying a car isn’t easy; all the paperwork and invoices are hard to come by.”

"Don't worry about it, I have a way to solve it."

Ji Sisi had already come up with a plan; she knew she wouldn't be able to buy a car by relying on them.

But Secretary Lin and County Chief Wei must have a solution.

As soon as Hu Zhibin left, Ji Sisi called Secretary Lin's office.

"What's the matter that Manager Ji suddenly called me about?"

Ji Sisi got straight to the point, "Yes, our factory just received a big order from another province, and now I've discussed it with the factory managers and we want to buy a truck."

"Out of the province?"

"Yes, it's a county in the neighboring Sichuan province, a county very close to us. It should take about a day and a half to get there, including the journey."

"Congratulations, Manager Ji! People from other provinces are now coming to us to do business. I believe that under your leadership, Huaihua Food Factory will continue to thrive."

Ji Sisi returned to the main topic, "Huaihua's progress to this point is also inseparable from the help of Secretary Lin and County Chief Wei."

"Secretary Lin, regarding the truck, do you know anyone who has the connections to get one for Huaihua?"

Secretary Lin pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone, "I don't know anyone, but I'll try my best to find out for Manager Ji."

"Thank you so much, Secretary Lin."

After hanging up the phone, Secretary Lin went to the county head's office and reported what had just happened to County Head Wei.

"It's all about repairing dormitories and the cafeteria, and now they want to buy a car. I have no idea what Manager Ji is planning this time."

County Chief Wei asked doubtfully, "How much working capital do you think they have in their accounts right now?"

"I can't guess for sure, but since Manager Ji wants to buy a car, the factory definitely has enough money." "That's true. She's made a lot of money from just one newspaper. To be featured in two newspapers at the same time is no easy feat."

County Chief Wei nodded, no longer worried about the food factory.

"Go and contact them about the car, and get in touch with them as soon as possible."

Huaihua Food Factory is a dark horse that has emerged this year. When County Chief Wei went to the provincial capital for a meeting a few days ago, he was also given special praise because of Huaihua Food Factory.

"Okay, I'll contact them now." Secretary Lin nodded and left the office.

After the car issue was resolved, Ji Sisi specially invited two mechanics over.

"Master Shi, Master Jiang, I've come to you today to ask for your help. The factory is thinking of buying some cars recently, and I'd like to ask if you two could spare some time and take on two apprentices."

The two masters looked troubled and did not answer Ji Sisi immediately.

"Don't worry, masters. You don't need to worry about the expenses. As long as you teach an apprentice, the factory will give you a subsidy of three hundred yuan for your hard work."

Three hundred yuan is the annual income of most employees.

With the added incentive of profit, the two masters were clearly tempted.

Master Shi said with difficulty, "Manager Ji, isn't this a bit too much? If we're going to take on apprentices, we don't have enough time right now. I'm worried that the teaching time will be too long."

"Yes, the two of us have to make several trips a day now, and it's basically dark by the time we get to the factory."

Master Jiang was also tempted, but the thought of coming home exhausted every day and then having to teach people how to drive and repair cars made him feel tiring.

Their monthly salary of sixty yuan isn't enough to live on, so why make themselves so tired?

"Considering that the factory is indeed under a lot of pressure in terms of delivery volume right now, how about this: you guys train your people to drive first, and take care of the car repairs later. After you've driven around, you can take your apprentices to deliver goods, and you can also give guidance and rest for a while."

Ji Sisi promised, "Master Shi, Master Jiang, don't worry, I would never do something like discarding someone after they've served their purpose. Just last week, I had Xiao Qin sign a one-year contract with the transportation company, and I also increased the base salary for both of you by ten yuan."

Upon hearing this, the two instructors thought it was fantastic news. Although it would be a bit tiring at first, driving was easy to teach. A smart person could learn in a month, and even a slower learner could learn in two months.

"That's fine with me."

Master Shi was the first to speak up.

Master Jiang followed suit, saying, "I agree too."

"Okay, then I'll be hiring in a couple of days, and I'd appreciate it if you two could help me find some candidates."

Seeing that the two drivers agreed, Ji Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. "Is anyone free the day after tomorrow? If not, I'll have Xiaoqin arrange it. Could one of the drivers come with me to the city to pick up the car?"

The two drivers belatedly realized that they hadn't actually intended to buy a car; they had already bought one.

Master Shi said, "I'll go. I'll be free the day after tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you two masters from now on."

After Master Shi and Master Jiang left the office, Ji Sisi rubbed her aching back and looked down at her increasingly large belly.

Lately, whenever she lies down, the baby in her belly moves around a lot, making it difficult for her to get a full night's sleep.

Fortunately, I have another week before I can go back and rest.

Ji Sisi got up and went downstairs to check on the production department, but she ran into Director Yan as soon as she went downstairs.

"Director, why did you come down here?"

Ji Sisi stood at the top of the stairs waiting for Director Yan to approach, but Director Yan walked briskly.
