After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1364 New Operational Plan
“Why aren’t you going in?” Qiao Mei asked evenly.

“Oh! Sister Qiao Mei, you’re here. I… I just arrived not long ago. Let’s go in together,” Zhao Fei said as he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Qiao Mei did not comment on what she just saw. She led Zhao Fei into Li Gui’s courtyard and as usual, the children went to Qiao Qiang’s house to play.

Qian’e and Li Gui were seated in the living room and had been waiting for Zhao Fei since early in the morning. The two of them looked like they were prepared to do battle. Li Gui had even put on the new clothes she had bought for the new year. She did not even bear to wear them more than a few times during the new year!

It was obvious that Qian’e was the one who asked Li Gui to wear the clothes. She probably wanted Li Gui to look more authoritative and send a signal to Zhao Fei. Li Gui was usually very soft-spoken and she was not forceful at all. It was actually quite a good strategy to give Zhao Fei some pressure in this manner. Qiao Mei pursed her lips and smiled. These two women were really very cute when they were together.

“Since everyone is here, let’s not beat around the bush.” Qiao Mei took a sip of water and continued, “The factory in the suburbs is still under construction and will take about half a month to complete. During this period of time, I think we should discuss and decide on our new operational plan.”

“Are we going to move all our operations there?” Qian’e asked.

Qiao Mei thought for a moment and said, “Yes, let’s work there in the future. I’ll go and think about how to solve the issue of transport.”

Now that everyone had already settled down here, it would likely be difficult for them to get used to working in the suburbs every day. The daily journey was very long and it was also a waste of time and energy.

“Actually, I’d like to suggest that we build a dormitory in the suburbs. Since we have designated rest days, we can stay near the factory during workdays and come back here during our off days. This way, we can save on time and cost,” Qian’e said.

“This is a good idea. I’ll go and talk to the architect about this,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Xia Zhe’s friends were different from Zhou Shuang and the rest of the women. They were currently renters, so to them, staying in the dormitory would be no different from staying at Qiao Mei’s place. In fact, staying in the dormitory could save them money!
The issues with the popcorn and braised meat were easy to resolve, but the main problem was the seeds. The seeds produced in Foshan Village had already all been bought up by Director He. There was only that much land there. Even if all the villagers stopped supplying Director He in the future and made arrangements to transport all their harvested seeds to the capital, the transportation costs would be almost the same amount as the cost of the seeds. If that was the case, the seeds business would just end up making a loss.

The best solution now was to rent some land in the villages around the capital or distribute seeds to the villagers. When it was time for harvest, they could then send someone to go around and collect the harvested seeds.

“Sister Qiao Mei… do you think you can start with planting the seeds in our village first? The seeds I sold in the past were all planted and harvested by the people in my village. The land there is definitely suitable for this! The people in our village have been farming for generations and are very experienced in growing seeds,” Zhao Fei said as he looked at Qiao Mei expectantly.

“Have you resolved the conflict with your family? As I said the last time, we only want to work with you in the future and not with the rest of the Zhao family,” Qiao Mei said with a frown.

Zhao Fei’s village was indeed the most suitable site for a test bed, but Qiao Mei was still nursing a grudge against what had happened previously. The thing she hated the most was a selfish business partner.

“Don’t worry! Everything has been resolved! My uncle and the others have already turned over a new leaf. They know very well that they had hurt Auntie Li with what they did. They won’t dare to do it again,” Zhao Fei said as he looked at Qiao Mei sincerely.

With the village chief keeping an eye on them, those Zhao family members probably would not dare to cause any trouble. Moreover, this issue concerned the livelihood of the entire village. If the village lost its chance to make money because of the Zhao family, the entire family would be reviled by everyone for the rest of their lives!

“Alright then. Go back and do a tabulation on how many people are willing to work with us and how much land each family is willing to demarcate to grow the seeds. Make sure it is accurate, not an inch more or less,” Qiao Mei said.

“Sure, sure, sure! I’ll go back and tabulate the numbers now! I’ll come back tomorrow and let you know how much land we can get!” Zhao Fei said excitedly.

“However, the acquisition price is different from what we talked about previously. We’ll pay 60 cents for one pound of harvested seeds and we’ll supply the seeds to you for your retail sales at two dollars a pound,” Qiao Mei said.
