Chapter 201 Buying a New Car

"Didn't you send word that your factory was going to buy cars? I've come down to take a look." Director Yan saw that apart from two minivans, there were no large trucks in sight.

"Has it not arrived yet?"

Ji Sisi nodded, "It will take two days to arrive. Director, you're too early. Otherwise, you and Master Shi can go together on Wednesday, which would save me the trouble of going."

Ji Sisi really didn't want to go on a long trip.

Upon hearing this, Director Yan said, "Okay, Wednesday, right? I'll have someone postpone my business. You're heavily pregnant, so don't go running around."

Director Yan's mouth was practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

"Sisi, this car must be expensive, right?"

"It was indeed not cheap, it cost 12,000 yuan." Ji Sisi sighed. The market competition was too small, and the car was sold at a fixed price. It was only after going through Secretary Lin's discount that we got a 10% discount.

Even after the discount, it's still 12,000.

Ji Sisi's heart was bleeding when she asked the finance department to transfer the money.

"Twelve thousand!" Director Yan exclaimed in shock, muttering, "Too expensive."

"Director, I'm going to check on the production department now. Would you like to come along?"

Director Yan regained his composure and said, "Since we're already here, let's take a look."

On the way to the workshop, Director Yan mentioned Qiping Commune.

"It seems their factory is almost finished. I heard they invited quite a few people to witness it. People from several communes went, but they didn't invite me. At their age, they're still so petty. They're hopeless."

"I thought it was already built. Director Wang's setup makes it seem like he's preparing for a major undertaking."

Ji Sisi had witnessed firsthand Director Wang's pettiness.

"It seems to be some kind of chicken farm, but I don't know the specifics. I only know that he brought a lot of chicks there."

That sounds good; we'll have to wait and see how it goes next year.

Director Yan looked unhappy and kept muttering about Director Wang's pettiness on the way to the production department.

Ji Sisi was both amused and exasperated.

Ji Sisi went to the newly renovated workshop. Now beef jerky and beef jerky are in one workshop, while beef sauce is in a separate workshop because the noise from the meat grinding and packaging machines is too loud.

"When did they build another new workshop? I saw they were still building something else behind it, is that another new workshop?"

After visiting the new workshop, Director Yan pointed to the dormitory building under construction ahead and asked...

"No, it's staff dormitory. I plan to build a three-story building first, with four to six people living in each room."

Director Yan worried, "Is this enough? The factory will have more and more people in the future."

"That's enough. People who don't live there will receive an eight-yuan housing subsidy per month, but those who want to live there won't."

Moreover, the food factory's recruiters have always been from the Huaihua Commune, so even now, a hundred people would be enough.

Director Yan didn't say anything more, but instead shared the same concern as County Chief Wei.

"You're buying a car and repairing a dormitory building, do you have enough money?"

Aside from all that, the factory has so many workers whose wages need to be paid, and the cost of buying cattle isn't cheap either; it would easily cost around 20,000 yuan a month.

"That's enough, Director. Don't worry. I wouldn't dare mention buying a car if I didn't have extra money."

What Ji Sisi didn't dare to say was that after buying the car and deducting her salary, there really wasn't much left.

However, considering that there are no major expenses expected for the next six months after buying the car, all the expenses now are worthwhile.

Director Yan was relieved. "That's good."

On Wednesday, Mr. Jiang drove Mr. Shi and Director Yan to the county.

After Mr. Shi confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the car, Director Yan signed the form and drove the car away.

On the way back, Director Yan sat in the car, looking around the interior with curiosity. "This car is really impressive!"

The Dongfeng truck was already quite a sight to behold just driving on the road, attracting countless repeat customers along the way back from the county town. Director Yan felt incredibly proud.

Master Shi was also delighted, saying he loved driving it and couldn't put it down. "This new model is more comfortable to drive than the ones from our company."

"Let's drive it back and let the people at the factory see it. Then our factory will have a car too."

Master Shi smiled and affirmed, "Of course, once this big guy is driven back, I reckon they'll have to bring their bowls out and watch them eat lunch."

The two chatted as they went and soon arrived at the factory.

Ji Sisi went downstairs at the right time. Ma Xiaoqin was looking for her but couldn't find her in the office. When he came downstairs, he saw Ji Sisi sitting in the courtyard.

"Manager Ji, it's getting cold. Why are you sitting downstairs?"

"The office is a bit stuffy, and Master Shi and Director Yan will be back soon, so I'll sit here to greet them."

Ma Xiaoqin also sat down on another long bench.

"The packaging bags that I contacted the printing factory to modify last time are ready. Do you think this is okay?" Ma Xiaoqin took out the packaging bags that she had just brought back from the county town.

Ji Sisi glanced at it and said, "Make the font of this reminder a little bigger. Everything else is fine. We need to print an extra 10,000 copies this time, so we have to do it as soon as possible. Xiaorou said that the desiccant has already started to be shipped out and is expected to arrive by the end of the month."

"Okay, then I'll go to the county town again this afternoon."

"Wait two more months. Observe the packaging we need for shipments. Then we can have the printing factory print a similar number of packaging bags. By the end of the year, we need to make more gift boxes."

Ma Xiaoqin took out her notebook and carefully wrote down everything Ji Sisi said.

Just as they finished writing, the roar of a truck reached their ears.

Ma Xiaoqin stared in surprise at the Dongfeng truck, then quickly got up and went over to examine it closely. "This, this, is this the truck our factory bought?"

The car has a blue exterior and the name of Huaihua Food Factory is printed on the door.

Master Shi and Director Yan got out of the car.

"Xiao Qin, what do you think? This car looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

Master Shi stood next to Ma Xiaoqin, awaiting her answer.

Ma Xiaoqin reached out and touched the car body. "It's not just good, it's exceptionally good! I was wondering why Manager Ji was sitting downstairs; he was waiting for you."

"Master Shi, this truck can carry at least two or three thousand kilograms of goods, right?"

“Not only that, it can handle 5,000 jin. In the future, a round trip to another province will take three or four days, which is considered a long-distance trip.” Master Shi looked at the vehicle.

The sales department office was on the first floor, and the people inside who were not working there came out to see what was going on when they heard the commotion outside.

When they saw the train, some of them couldn't help but scream.

"This is our car? So what Manager Hu said was true!"

"Master Shi, can we sit in it and experience it?"

"Yes, yes, Master Shi wants us to experience the new train!"

Master Shi looked at Ji Sisi, and she nodded.

"No problem, just get on and sit down. I don't need to teach you how to get on the bus, do I?"

Several people scrambled to climb onto the vehicle, afraid of being a step behind. If anyone stayed on board for more than three minutes, the people outside would urge them to get off.

It was lunchtime, and when the employees who were passing by on their way out of the workshop saw the new car, none of them ate their meals.

"Can we try sitting on it too?"

"Why not? Everyone who's finished the experience should go eat, or the food will get cold." Ma Xiaoqin urged those who had already finished to go eat.

Ji Sisi walked up to Director Yan and said, "Director, let's have lunch at our factory today."

Director Yan was still basking in the joy of owning his new car.

It took her more than ten seconds to realize what was happening, and she quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go in a bit."
