Chapter 99 Why is it still cheaper than the one from the external factory? One day later, when the students put on their school uniforms, the whole school's spirit and outlook were different. The style of the school uniform is simple and conservative, somewhat similar to the military training uniforms of later generations. The older and younger children all envied their younger and older brothers and sisters for wearing new clothes. The younger children hoped that they could grow up quickly so that they could go to school, eat delicious food and wear new clothes. Those children who are older only have regrets about missing out on their age. There is no doubt that the children in Zhoujiazhuang are happy. Zhou Zhigao was well aware that the care their school provided to students was unmatched even in the city. The teaching environment in the city may be better, and the teaching resources are not comparable to those in the rural schools. But which school can provide free meals? And cheap school uniforms? Looking around this area, there is absolutely no such thing. Zhou Yimin did not return to the city, but placed enough goods in Dapeng's room for them to sell for several days.

He didn't know that the leadership of the noodle factory where Zhao Zhenguo worked was extremely anxious. Not only the leaders of their factory, but also someone unknown how the news leaked out, a senior leader from above suddenly visited their noodle factory and asked about the research and development progress of instant noodles. Progress? What kind of progress can there be? They have been working on it all night and have failed countless times. The word "foreign exchange" is very powerful. The higher-ups just heard the news and sent people down. Obviously, the higher-ups also paid attention to the information that instant noodles were popular abroad and were overjoyed. We can’t make things that are too high-tech, but instant noodles should be fine, right? If it can be exported, it will not only create precious foreign exchange, but also solve the current employment problem to a certain extent. After all, if instant noodles can be produced for export, the noodle factory must increase production. Then, expansion is a must! A noodle factory that originally employed a few hundred people may have to be upgraded to a large factory with thousands of people. The leaders above are already discussing the issue of instant noodles. "No results yet?" Director Yang smoked another cigarette. He also stayed up late with everyone last night. Zhao Zhenguo nodded with dark circles under his eyes, "It will become mushy if you soak it in boiling water." "Or, why don't you go look for your cousin?" Director Yang felt pressured. Originally, he would just slowly test the product in his own factory and wait patiently. But now, the leaders from above came to wait for the results, and his pressure suddenly doubled. It can be seen that the higher-ups attach great importance to the research and development of instant noodles. To be precise, we attach great importance to foreign exchange. As the factory director, he can also understand the urgency of his leaders. Now all walks of life in the country need foreign exchange to purchase machines, etc., especially important scientific research projects, whether it is machines, technology, or raw materials, they are heavily dependent on imports. Zhao Zhenguo put out his cigarette, stood up, and nodded: "Then I'll go back first."

"Go! You can't help much at the factory." Zhao Zhenguo: “…” What kind of truth are you talking about? "Wait!" Suddenly, Director Yang called Zhao Zhenguo and took out a stack of various tickets from the drawer of his desk, including a ticket for a sewing machine. "You're going to hire someone empty-handed? Bring this with you." Zhao Zhenguo didn't hesitate and took it, glancing at Director Yang's drawer. Director Yang laughed and scolded, "Get lost! That's all. When your cousin solves the problem in our factory, there will be a generous reward." As long as we can make instant noodles, everything will be fine. Zhao Zhenguo went to the steel plant first. After all, it was probably working hours and most people would be in the factory. Unfortunately, Zhou Yimin is not an ordinary worker. Section Chief Wang was very surprised: "Looking for Yimin? Who are you to him? What's the matter?" Now, Zhou Yimin is the treasure of their purchasing department, or logistics department, and even the steel plant! Seeing that this person was from another factory, Section Chief Wang couldn't help but become alert. Want to poach people? That's impossible. Zhao Zhenguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained: "He is my cousin. Two days ago, he..." Briefly revealed some content. Section Chief Wang: “…” He was numb. Inventions have been brought to noodle factories? What the hell is going on? What's the point of developing instant noodles? Just to save time eating noodles? Who needs that little time? Aren't they all short of noodles? What's the point of developing that thing? He felt that Zhou Yimin was not doing his job properly this time. With that much time, it would be better to get two wild boars. It has been a while since that guy sent any game back to the factory, right? Section Chief Wang is still a little uncomfortable with it. "Is my cousin in the factory? Let him come out to see me. The leaders above are waiting for him in the factory!" Zhao Zhenguo had no choice but to pull out the leaders above to put pressure on Section Chief Wang and let him release the cousin immediately. Section Chief Wang was shocked. Could a bowl of instant noodles have alarmed the leaders above him? "What's so important?" Zhao Zhenguo was silent for three seconds before he uttered two words: "Foreign exchange!" Section Chief Wang opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He understood, but he couldn't believe it. You know, even their steel plant didn't have a product that could be exported, so how could a noodle factory be equipped with it? "He is not in the factory. He hasn't been here for the past two days." Section Chief Wang was also speechless. Zhao Zhenguo was depressed: You are not at the steel plant, why are you talking to me so much?

you motherfucker! Isn't this a waste of my time and saliva? Zhao Zhenguo turned around and went to the courtyard where Zhou Yimin was. Zhou Yimin had told him the specific address when they had dinner that day. Section Chief Wang immediately went to Section Chief Zheng's office. "Go out and knock on the door." When Section Chief Zheng saw Wang Weimin rushing in rashly, he angrily kicked him out and asked him to knock on the door again to come in and teach him what politeness is. Wang Weimin opened his mouth, then turned around and went out to knock on the door. "Come in, if you have to fart, do it now." "Chief Zheng, something big has happened." Wang Weimin said. "What's the big deal?" Section Chief Zheng doesn't believe in big things. If something big happens, he will definitely know it before Section Chief Wang. After all, he is at a higher level, so the news will definitely pass through him first. What big deal could it be if you knew it first? "I heard that Yimin has developed a type of noodles that can be exported to earn foreign exchange. Just now, someone from the noodle factory came to him, looking very anxious, and said that the leaders above were waiting for Yimin." Wang Weimin said in one breath. Section Chief Zheng showed the same expression as Wang Weimin did before. It cannot be said that they are very similar, but only that they are exactly the same. "With such an important matter, why didn't you tell us earlier? Why are you taking so long? Where are Yimin and others?" Section Chief Zheng was also anxious. They are most aware of the value of the words "earning foreign exchange". Why is it cheaper than outsourced ones? Section Chief Wang thought: Aren't you the one who's dilly-dallying? And you asked me to go out and knock on the door again. "Yi Min is not at the factory. He hasn't been here for the past two days." "Then go find it!" Section Chief Zheng immediately went to see Director Ding. (End of this chapter)
