Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 285 Preparing to Set Sail
In the end, Sun Xiangyang was too thin-skinned and soft-hearted to withstand the desperate pleas and gave ten places to each of the production teams.

However, these people no longer go to coal mines, but are arranged to work in brick kilns and construction teams.

These two places are definitely not as profitable as coal mines, but the environment is relatively better. After all, not everyone can adapt to the narrow space of a mine.

But even so, the treatment of brick kilns and construction teams is still far better than that of other production teams, which is enough to make people scramble for it.

The reason why Sun Xiangyang gave so much face was that he was much easier to deal with than the old branch secretary, which greatly increased the favorability of the people in the production team. They acted as if they were saying, "Secretary Sun is really generous. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

"Tsk, these guys are still as shameless as before."

After a few people left, Sha Hongcheng came out from somewhere with his hands behind his back.

"From their perspective, it's not wrong."

Sun Xiangyang shook his head.

"Do you really think they are doing this for the members? In fact, isn't it for themselves? I heard that all members who come to Shuangshuiwan to work have to hand over one-third of their income."

Sha Hongcheng curled his lips in disdain.

"guessed."

Sun Xiangyang nodded.

Although those temporary workers never talked about this, the members themselves were equivalent to the wealth of the production team. They worked in the production team, and although they also received work points, they were more creating value for the production team, the commune, and...

Putting aside the communes, the production teams were also equivalent to plucking a layer of hair.

Nowadays, they all come to Shuangshuiwan to work, which is equivalent to creating value for Shuangshuiwan, and the money earned all belongs to the members. How can those production teams be willing to accept this?

Naturally, they will try every means to take advantage of it.

But even so, people who came to Shuangshuiwan still earned much more money than those who stayed in the production team.

In order to come to Shuangshui Bay to make more money, those people can only endure it silently, otherwise the opportunity will become someone else's.

This time, they came to Sun Xiangyang to ask for more places. On the one hand, it was because too many members came to them and they could only give up some places to put out the fire.

Another thing is that they also tasted the sweetness of salary payment this time.

After all, one third of one person is not much, but one third of dozens of people is already a considerable number.

Sun Xiangyang had no good solution to this problem. After all, those people were nominally under the jurisdiction of those production teams and also occupied the population quota of those production teams.

However, this kind of exploitation will sooner or later cause dissatisfaction among these people. The longer the time is, the stronger this dissatisfaction will be. At that time, it will be easier to pull people in.

Why should I hand over one third of the money I worked so hard to earn?

There is no such rule for people in Shuangshui Bay.

Envy, jealousy, and imbalance will only lead to increasing dissatisfaction.

"Then you still give them places?"

Sha Hongcheng was just next door, so he heard it clearly.

"Why not? What we in Shuangshui Bay lack now is people. If I wasn't afraid of scaring them with their big appetite, I would want more people. Besides, the more greedy they are, the more beneficial it will be for us in the future." Facing Sha Hongcheng, Sun Xiangyang did not hide his thoughts.

Although Sun Xiangyang had already set future goals during the previous meeting, and Yu Xiulian and Jin Xianglan were also busy with population plans, it would take time for the next generation to grow up, so it would be better to take advantage of something ready-made.

"Yes, I told you that you can handle it. But someone is still worried about this and that."

Sha Hongcheng seemed extremely satisfied with Sun Xiangyang's performance, then left with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Sun Xiangyang showed a strange expression on his face. Who is this someone talking about?
After the branch secretaries and team leaders of the production brigades returned, they immediately announced the great news, saying that they had paid a huge price and finally lost their face to obtain Sun Xiangyang's consent and finally got ten places, which immediately suppressed the dissatisfaction of the members.

Although there are still not enough ten places, at least there is hope and expectation.

This recruitment did not cause any waves in Shuangshui Bay, because they were not going to a coal mine, and because of what happened before, no one dared to say anything.

Time flies, and another two months have passed.

During this period, Sun Xiangyang was drafted into service by Su Huiwan several times. With Sun Xiangyang's suggestions and a loan from Shuangshuiwan, the carton factory was finally able to produce the gift boxes that Sun Xiangyang needed.

Compared with the khaki, brown, and gray cardboard packaging on the market today, or the packaging that is as simple as it can be, these gift boxes give people a sense of refinement and high-end at first glance.

Even the director of the carton factory was full of praise for it. His only concern was that the cost of this kind of gift packaging was a bit high. However, he was only responsible for production according to requirements and the cost was not something he could control.

In addition to this packaging gift box, Sun Xiangyang also asked them to produce a thinner box, which is just the right size to hold a pound of dates. One packaging gift box can hold five small boxes, which is exactly five pounds.

Of course, the processed dates are all wrapped in exquisite oil paper bags, with a main feature of multi-layer packaging, allowing customers to experience the feeling of unpacking layer by layer.

As for whether the dates are delicious, in Sun Xiangyang's opinion, they are just so-so. Maybe they are sweeter than ordinary dates in the north and taste slightly better, but the difference is not obvious.

From the very beginning, what he sold was not dates, but packaging and face.

But when the time came, Su Huiwan became a little nervous. Sun Xiangyang's price was really a bit high, and she was worried that if she couldn't sell it, all of it would be wasted.

Although the cost of this batch of high-end health-preserving dates was not much, and the dates were purchased on IOUs, the investment of the carton factory was real. They borrowed 500,000 yuan from Shuangshuiwan, and this money must be repaid.

Once the plan fails, the carton factory will immediately be burdened with a debt of 500,000 yuan. It will definitely not be able to repay it on its own, and there is no question of filing for bankruptcy at the moment. The debt will eventually fall on the county, which will undoubtedly be adding insult to injury for the county, which already has many mouths to feed and a lot of debt.

Moreover, this was the first time that Su Hui had really taken action since taking office.

If she fails, it will have a significant impact on her personally. Even if she has a strong background, what’s the use if you can’t bring benefits to the county and the people?

Of course, Su Huiwan doesn’t care much about her future. She cares more about the losses caused by failure.

Compared to her, Sun Xiangyang is obviously much more confident.

Although it is still not easy to have enough food in the countryside in this era, if we use this to measure the people in the city, especially in Beijing, and those who can enter the Friendship Store, we can only say that there is a world of difference.

There is simply no comparison between the two.

Therefore, he didn't worry at all that the high-end health-preserving dates would fail, so Su Huiwan could put her mind at ease.

Finally, Sun Xiangyang called Kang Mingyuan.
