Looking at the snow-white toilet paper, Xu Dequan shook his fist fiercely.

"Factory director, it's done!"

Pulled off a piece of the large piece of paper and rubbed it with his hands, Li Xian was very satisfied. Wood pulp and cotton pulp are mixed, and they should be tough and tough, and they should feel good and absorb water. Although the color and texture are still a little worse than the toilet paper products twenty years later, with the current technology and equipment, it can reach this height.

Li Xian immediately asked the workers to stack the entire base paper in three layers for pressure cutting, and then put it into a paper reel to try out a batch of rolling paper.

The movement here has long attracted the workers in the workshop, and when everyone saw the rolls of delicate white handkerchief-like paper patterns, although they were not optimistic about this overly luxurious product, they couldn't help but admire.

"Mom, how comfortable is this fucking wiping ass?"

"Who is willing to use such a good paper, I am reluctant to use it. ”

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Li Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Consumption consciousness still needs to be cultivated.

Hearing that the paper was successfully released, Zhang Dagong and Chen Shulin also rushed over. Holding the paper pattern with a diameter of fifteen centimeters, the two of them studied it for a long time.

"This thing...... How much can the cost be?" Chen Shulin thought for a long time and asked.

Xu Dequan on the side has roughly calculated the cost, "If it is officially produced, the cost of a piece of paper will be eight cents, and if it is three layers of pressing, three pieces of paper can produce 25 volumes, counting miscellaneous, a dime a roll." However, this number is my rough estimate, and the specific amount has to be calculated by ton, to see how many electric words, labor, and packaging are used to produce a ton. Oh, and by the way, you have to count the attrition. ”

Hearing this approximate price, Chen Shulin shook his head, "It's too expensive." Such a small roll costs a dime. How much does this have to sell for?"

Li Xian smiled, "The market price is at least two cents." ”

Chen Shulin pouted, "A pile of toilet paper on the market is only five cents now, and you are four times more expensive." What kind of family does it have to be able to make this paper? Let's not talk about whether your thing is good or not, with such an expensive price, it will take a year or two to open up the market, believe it or not?"

Regarding Lao Chen's call, Li Xian was noncommittal.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties. Since you want to be high-end, these things must be overcome.

Seeing that Li Xian did not listen to his own persuasion, Chen Shulin pressed the blue cloth hat on his head, "If there is no market, we will engage in production, and when the time comes, I will not be able to sell it, and I will see what you are doing! I don't care, I will pay my salary tomorrow." I'm so blind, I don't know the bottom of my heart!"

Watching Chen Shulin leave in a huff, Li Xian shook his head.

People are good people, but their minds are too stiff.

He silently labeled his sales chief.

……

It is said that as soon as the production line is opened, the gold will roll in. But for the current Li Xian, what he lacks most is money.

After the announcement of the start of work, the employees once again raised the issue of the previous arrears of wages. Because there was little hope for the future of toilet paper, the workers demanded that the arrears of wages be paid before the start of work.

The purchasing unit also reached out to ask for money, and all the funds available in the factory now are the two thousand yuan left by Li Xian before - that's it, it is still the food purchase fee originally planned for the canteen.

Li Xian roughly calculated, if he wanted to start construction smoothly, the loan of Nongxin and the balance in his hand would all be gone.

Before toilet paper is not really profitable, there is still a big gap in funding to keep the factory running.

He had to think about the sale of the ingots.

In the past few days, the price of aluminum ingots has ushered in another wave of increases, but compared with the madness of the previous few days, it has slowed down, and the current price has reached 7,050 yuan per ton. This is still a big gap from the eight thousand in his impression. But considering that the price peak of 8,000 was seven or eight months after the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, from the perspective of time, he was not prepared to wait.

When he came out of the factory, he called a newspaper in the provincial capital and submitted an advertisement for tofu blocks. The information that he had more than 20 tons of aluminum ingots for sale and the phone number of the dry rest house hostel were registered.

When I remitted the money to Nongxin, the other party gave a receipt, and I was already busy until four o'clock.

Dissatisfied with the efficiency of this era, he returned to the dormitory of the dry retreat.

Li Jie has come back from the hospital, but after a day of diarrhea, she is already weak like a seaweed.

In the cadre retreat, Li You is much more peaceful, and he doesn't need to think about Li Xian to know why; he has been a small worker all his life, and there are so many leaders around him, he doesn't dare to scream.

Zou Ni also knew that the people living in the house were all high-ranking officials, and they were quite restrained. It was Li Daoyun who scolded Gao Dashan in the dormitory, that is, Gao Ming's father.

When there was a famine in 60 years, their family's eyes were green when they were hungry. The tall mountain dog can't hang, and when the New Year is hungry, he has no tricks, and he carries two rats to stew. Or did Lao Tzu go up the mountain and give half a fan to their family, so that their family could have a harmonious New Year! Now he looks down on our third child? Whoever looks down on our family in the eighty-nine forest farm, what qualifications does he have to look down on our family? His grandmother's heart and liver are rotten as officials, and she has forgotten all her kindness!"

The old lady knew that Li Jie was forced to drink medicine by Guo Guixiang, and the angry three corpses jumped violently, and turned over all the old accounts before, and it could be seen that she was really distressed.

In the evening, Li Xian asked the canteen to make some gruel and easy-to-digest dishes, and the family made do. Knowing what happened to Li Jie, Wu Shengli and Zheng Weishi were also embarrassed.

But after all, this is Li Xian's own business, and as an outsider, it is not good to say much, so the old man turned the topic to the paper factory.

Hearing that the factory has produced rolls of paper, the price is as high as two cents a roll, and it will be fully started soon, and the old men are also full of doubts.

The product is so expensive, where can I sell it after production?

In these years, a pound of eggs is only eight cents, and four rolls of paper are enough to buy a pound of eggs. People don't use such things after a while.

In the face of everyone's gossip inquiries, Li Xian put down the big bowl and wiped his mouth: "It must be to open up sales, and I am going to give away the first batch of ten tons of rolling paper for free in the Forestry Bureau, Bangye County and several surrounding counties." ”

When these words were spoken, the entire cafeteria fell into an eerie silence.

After a while;

When.

Zheng Weishi's chopsticks fell.

Smack.

Wu Shengli's bowl fell.

"Hiccup!"

Li You turned his back again.
