Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

"That's it?" Zhang Ziming confirmed.

"That's all? This is no small matter." Xie Zhenguo said.

People, a ruler is long and an inch is short.

Xie Zhenguo and Su Da both have areas in which they are good at, and they also have shortcomings in which they are not good at, such as the matter of applying for business licenses, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes.

"Yes, Ziming, as you know, the two of us are never short of food stamps and industrial stamps. However, mooncake stamps are very seasonal and no one is willing to change hands, so we don't have much inventory in hand. I think It is really difficult to distribute moon cakes to the brothers below during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Su Dayou was also busy with this matter. No matter how much he bought, he could never get the mooncake tickets back.

"Yes, the brothers in the construction team are all from the countryside. We are going to give them two days off during the Mid-Autumn Festival and let them bring moon cakes back to celebrate the festival. Unexpectedly, it will be too difficult."

Xie Zhenguo also adjusted his glasses and added.

As a group of people, they can get food stamps, various industrial stamps, liquor, cigarettes, tea and other daily necessities, but the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes are a problem.

The reason why mooncakes are distributed during the Mid-Autumn Festival this time is also because of the sincerity of the brothers below. It is most worthwhile to go home and bring mooncakes to my wife and children after working outside for so long.

So Su Dayou and Xie Zhenguo heard this and thought about preparing two mooncakes for each person. However, they were unable to do so and encountered difficulties.

Mooncake tickets are so scarce!

Hearing this, Zhang Ziming felt confident and didn't take it seriously.

Others may not be able to get mooncakes, but he, Zhang Ziming, can still find ways to get some individually planned mooncakes through the back door.

If this matter is accomplished, it will further consolidate Zhang Ziming's position in the partnership, so it is necessary to do it.

Although he is the third child in a partnership, he is still an absolutely indispensable third child, not someone who only takes money to invest in shares to make up the balance.

So Zhang Zi said clearly:

"Brother Dayou and Brother Xie, they just need mooncakes, right? How about wrapping them with me?"

"Put it on you? Do you have any idea?" Su Dayou asked with gleaming eyes.

"Can you get mooncakes too?" Xie Zhenguo asked suspiciously.

It's not like Su Dayou and Xie Zhenguo haven't studied Zhang Ziming, and they haven't heard that Zhang Ziming has any relationship with pastries.

Zhang Ziming's words seriously shocked Su Dayou and Xie Zhenguo, even though they were just small mooncakes.

You know, how difficult it is to make mooncakes in this era.

The five-nut mooncake with green and red threads made from orange peels is something I look forward to this time every year, so it is of great significance.

Both of them were wondering, how much hidden network does Zhang Ziming, this little brother, have?

"I also want to give mooncakes to my brothers, two mooncakes each, so I have prepared in advance. How many people are there with you?" Zhang Ziming continued to say calmly.

"A total of 25 people." Su Day replied expectantly.

"Well, the problem is not big, let me solve it." Zhang Ziming agreed sincerely.

Su Dayou and Xie Zhenguo both shook Zhang Ziming's hand excitedly. This was not just a mooncake, it was also the sincerity of Su Dayou and Xie Zhenguo in winning over the brothers below.

Now it all depends on Zhang Ziming.

Zhang Ziming repeatedly assured that there was no problem, and the two returned to normal and began to discuss other preparations for the opening.

For example, the purchase of raw materials, recruitment of personnel, etc.

The three of them first conducted a simple division of labor, mainly focusing on Su Dayou and Xie Zhenguo. This was also what Zhang Ziming requested, and he fully trusted these two people.

Su Dayou is responsible for the purchase of raw materials, pots, pans, etc. used in restaurants, as well as the coal used in bathhouses;

Personnel recruitment issues were completed by Xie Zhenguo;

Zhang Ziming is responsible for handling the three major sections, including tables, chairs, benches, wooden beds, cabinets, sheets, bedding, etc.

The task that Zhang Ziming needs to complete is not difficult. It can be completed in two factories, namely Pingzi Village Furniture Factory and Mingxin Garment Factory, in one shift. It can increase business volume and complete the task at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

...

After having dinner with Su Dayou and Xie Zhenguo at noon, Zhang Ziming went to make a phone call first.

After confirming the quantity of mooncakes, we need to add the amount for 25 people temporarily, not a decimal.

If Haikou, which we just boasted about, fails to do so, its reputation will be disastrous.

"Hey, Brother Xu, it's me, Zhang Ziming." After the call was dialed, Zhang Ziming protected his family first.

The call was made to Xu Xingwen. As the director of the county food company, Xu Xingwen had great authority to use.

This time, Zhang Ziming planned to use the back door.

"It's Ziming. Don't worry. There's nothing wrong with the mooncakes I mentioned last time. I won't delay your use. After all, you provided the flour and oil yourself. I'm just adding some ingredients and helping you process them."

On the phone, Xu Xingwen thought he was urging him to process the mooncakes, so he spoke first.

Some time ago, Zhang Ziming was preparing for Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes.In order not to cause too much trouble to Xu Xingwen, the newly appointed factory director, Zhang Ziming prepared some raw materials and sent them over.

"Brother Xu, it's like this. I need to add two more 25 people here. Do you think you can make some arrangements?" Zhang Ziming went straight to the topic without turning around.

"increased?"

"Yes, the quantity needs to be increased."

"Uh..., no problem. 25 people, just 50 mooncakes. It's not a big problem. Just add a small class and we'll be done." Xu Xingwen agreed after thinking for a while.

Although the ingredients are a bit tight, it’s no problem if you squeeze it.

"Brother Xu, will it be okay if I go pick up the goods the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Zhang Ziming asked hurriedly.

"No problem, come and pick it up when the time comes." Xu Xingwen agreed.

It's just a matter of adding a small shift and coming over to pick up the goods tonight, and it can be done.

...

at the same time.

While Zhang Ziming was busy asking about the details of the mooncakes, Yang Xiaojiang was getting angry.

There was an important situation that needed to be reported to Zhang Ziming, but Zhang Ziming could not be found for a while.

Unable to wait for Zhang Ziming, Yang Xiaojiang could only secretly observe the other side.

Finally, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ziming finished the phone call with Zhang Xiaoyong and Zhang Zhonghe, and after placing the order, he returned to the first store.

Yang Xiaojiang hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Ziming, there is an important situation."

Seeing that Yang Xiaojiang didn't seem to be joking, Zhang Ziming pulled Yang Xiaojiang into the small warehouse and said, "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

"Ziming, it's like this. Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on it at all times..." Yang Xiaojiang began to report the newly discovered situation.
