Chapter 273: Those Years in the Great Northern Wilderness (109)
It indeed worked.
On the national day of celebration, the Independence Regiment announced two pieces of good news.
The first thing is something everyone knows: there was a bumper grain harvest.
The newly cultivated Yanwodao No. 400 rice has an average yield of over kilograms per mu. The cold-resistant, disease-resistant and lodging-resistant soybean variety, Zhengzhu No. , has an average yield of over kilograms per mu.
A good harvest means more food for everyone this year. What is happiness? In this day and age, being able to have enough food is happiness, and everyone, young or old, male or female, is happy.
The second thing is to build a machinery factory on the island, which will be registered under the name of Military Factory 470 and will be a branch factory.
This was a big deal. In this era where workers were proud, not only were the people in the group excited, but people in the surrounding villages and towns also began to look for various ways out.
The factory hadn't even started construction yet, but Wang Kai and people from the county committee came hurriedly to the independent regiment and joked that they were unkind and were only interested in keeping all the benefits for themselves.
The words were joking, but the attitude was somewhat ambiguous. Anyway, the point was that building a factory on the island would waste arable land, and the machinery factory should be built in a more suitable place. What is a more suitable place? They discussed it again.
It's such a rogue attitude, obviously wanting to take advantage of others.
Song Jinhan didn't refuse their face. Want a machinery factory? No problem, move the Reconstruction College there as well.
Don't want to? That's all I can do.
Why would a military factory set up a branch? It's called a branch, but it's actually an engine R&D center. They're interested in the new engines that those people are developing, but their identities are too sensitive. They know their brains are treasures, but it's not easy to get rid of them openly.
That's why they built a branch factory in a roundabout way and started some side businesses to ease the financial pressure on 470. They are self-sufficient and don't cause trouble to the country.
The people in the county committee don't want to take risks and are afraid of being implicated by those people, but they still want to reap the benefits. Isn't that wishful thinking?
After those people left, Wang Kai came back in the night and sneered at their ugly eating habits. The two of them whispered in the study for a long time, and finally left a bunch of keys, "A small courtyard, the property confiscated by the Revolutionary Committee, the whole family was lost in the movement."
In other words, there are no consequences.
The two children are in high school now and have to go to the county town.
When school started, the brother and sister were so excited that they insisted on living on campus. However, they couldn't stand it after only three days. There were more than a dozen people sleeping in a large dormitory, with stinky feet and sweat mixed with the smell of various pickles. The dormitory was stuffy and hot, and the smell was so sour.
Chen Dandan and Xu Hongying both said, "We have vacant rooms at home, so feel free to let the children stay."
It is more convenient for them to go to school, but the food is not tasty. In just one month, both children have lost weight.
Not to mention Yun Tinglan feeling distressed, even Xu Jianmin said that he would rent an apartment for the children and let your aunt take care of them.
Song Jinhan asked Wang Kai to help find a house.
The house is a bit shabby, but it would be better to say it was smashed than to say it was shabby. The doors and windows need to be reinstalled, and furniture needs to be purchased.
The soil in the yard showed signs of having been turned over, obviously someone used it as a vegetable garden.
This small courtyard is the closest to the inside of the street. Yun Tinglan looked at the courtyard wall and thought it needed to be raised. She also saw a hole near the toilet. Someone must have gotten in from here, so it needed to be blocked.
There is also a pomegranate tree in the yard, with some branches extending outside the yard. The pomegranates on the tree have long been picked.
Yun Tinglan asked someone to clean up the courtyard. When Ling Xi moved in with her two children, the machine repair factory had already been established and Song Jinhan had taken on another position as factory director.
After all, Song Jinhan was the one who maintained the coordination of the three parties. No one could leave him alone. The people in the Reform Institute only trusted Song Jinhan. No one else could do it. Besides, he was holding the most core information of the engine.
Once the framework is set up, personnel are not a problem. They can be transferred directly from 470. If they were sent to other places, everyone might not be happy. But when they heard that the branch was in the independent regiment in the next county, no one was unhappy.
It is said to be the next county, only one hour's boat ride away, and the key point is that there is no shortage of food there. During the three years of famine, the floods a few years ago, and last year's drought, there was a shortage of food everywhere, but the Independent Regiment had a good harvest every year.
The high-yield rice and soybeans they researched were reported in the People's Daily, and the leaders also gave comments and highly praised them.
So, everyone wanted to go, and it was not far from home and they could come back easily. When they arrived at the branch factory, they could be promoted to a higher level, and their salary and allowances would increase accordingly. Director Zheng also promised that a staff building would be built, and everyone who followed them would be allocated a house.
Song Jinhan had the confidence to make the promise. As soon as the old equipment of 470 arrived, the cooperation with the beverage factory was put on the agenda.
The three-party collaboration BGC ice cream appeared.
BGC = Military.Government.Factory = Popsicle Factory
The abbreviations are the same, and the technology is also the same.
Director Xiong clapped his hands and laughed happily, "This is fate!" Tasting the finished product, he nodded with satisfaction.
As the first military-grade ice cream in the country, other popsicle factories use egg beaters to separate the cream, but they use centrifuges directly.
With a maximum rotation speed of over 100,000 per minute, the whipped cream has a dense and mellow taste, is highly efficient, has a large output, is affordable and tastes good, and is not expensive.
BGC was produced on the island and distributed by beverage factories. Almost overnight, BGC could be seen in every street corner. The required packaging paper also boosted the performance of the county paper mill.
The 470 employees who were originally somewhat resistant to this matter, looked at their salaries and benefits and felt sad and helpless. To hell with it, living a more important life.
The people at the head factory couldn't help but have some ideas in their minds. It was just ice cream, they could make it, and then have their employees sell it. It was only in their own county, and the ice cream had a different name, so they couldn't just be so overbearing and not allow others to sell ice cream.
Neither Song Jinhan nor Director Xiong cared.
The market is so big, just sell it, the tastes are different.
Director Xiong is now more concerned about the formula of soda. No matter how good the sales of ice cream are, it is too restricted by the season. Soda is different. It can be sold all year round, but the key is that it has to taste good.
He sincerely invited Lingxi to work in the R&D department of the beverage factory. As long as there were results, Lingxi would be willing to show up at the factory every day.
Seeing that he couldn't hire anyone, he gave Ling Xi the title of consultant. What was he interested in? Of course, it was the prescription in Ling Xi's hand.
It was definitely not possible to raise money, but it was possible to help arrange the children of the regiment. Director Xiong also privately gave three catties of sugar coupons, eight catties of oil coupons, ten five-foot cloth coupons, and a radio coupon.
The other person said very nicely, "From now on, all your monthly benefits will be converted into salary. If you develop a new flavor, we will also give you a bonus."
Yi An was originally sighing in his heart that his way of making money had been cut off, but he was overjoyed when he saw the brand new radio.
After the Finance Department had counted the net profit of the ice cream, Director Xiong came again, looking very proud. He brought several boxes of apples, peaches and pears. Although they did not look good, fruits were in short supply these days. It was only because the beverage factory had its own purchasing channels that it could be so generous.
