Chapter 20: The Rebirth of the Cannery

Binzhou state-owned canning factory

During this time, in order to catch up with the export orders of Libbia, the factory is in this state almost every night, although the average age of the production workers is over 40 years old, although the average temperature of the workshop is above 30 degrees Celsius, although they only subsidize ten yuan a day for overtime, but the majority of workers still have no regrets.

10 million cans a month, simply look at the number of cans may be nothing, although the Binzhou state-owned cannee factory was designed in the fifties of the last century, but there is no problem with this production capacity, but Wang Yue's requirements are indeed perverted, the weight is ten kilograms per can, 10 million cans is 100,000 tons, this is already the design capacity of Binzhou state-owned canning factory for a year.

Wang Yue's request is one to three months of delivery, which seems to be an impossible task, but Su Yitian has no choice but to take it head-on, and he has to rush forward as much as possible within the three-month period, hoping that there can be a new order after completing this order.

Therefore, during this time, the Binzhou state-owned canning factory has been working in three shifts to catch up with the work, in order to meet the manpower needs of the production post, including Su Yitian, all the non-production staff have been on the production line, and a large number of retired workers have also spontaneously returned to their posts, all of them have a goal, that is, to complete the order and keep their factory.

They don't want to go bankrupt, they don't want to receive the minimum wage, they don't want to produce canned pet food, they don't want to sell the factory, they don't want to go bankrupt, they want the factory to be good, they want their jobs to be good, they want the children to be able to stand up and tell others, they are the children of the cannery, they are key enterprises, they are the backbone enterprises, they have dedicated themselves to the country for more than 70 years, they have made outstanding achievements, they are not burdens! No!

Looking at the eye-catching banners that can be seen everywhere in the factory, listening to the roar of the passionate machine, and walking past the white-haired security guards standing at the gate of the factory like javelins, Chen Xi has a feeling of being in a different world, and she will come to the canning factory every few days to see the fulfillment of orders in the past half a month, so as to allocate payments to the canneries on time, so as not to affect their production, but every time she comes, she feels that this factory is changing.

The mental outlook of the workers, the state of the factory, and the rhythm of production have all undergone tremendous changes, as if a machine that has not been used for a long time, and has gradually recovered after a period of operation.

Perhaps, perhaps, this order can really restore some vitality to this factory? Even though he was insolvent, even though his equipment was outdated, even though his superiors had asked him to go bankrupt several times, he was still there, was he? It's still in normal production, isn't it?

"Xiao Chen is here, let's go, go to my office and sit!" At this time, the factory director Su Yitian walked out with a large flatbed truck canned, and when he saw Chen Xi arrive, he parked the car and hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle Su, no need, I'll just come and see the production progress of our factory, and if there are any problems that need to be coordinated." Chen Xi hurriedly shirked it, her family lived not far from the family area of the cannery, his father and Su Yitian were still comrades-in-arms, and the relationship between the two families had always been good, otherwise she would not have paid so much attention to the affairs of the canning factory last time.

"Xiao Chen, there is no problem, our production raw materials for the next week have already been put into storage, the electricity and water bills have been cleared, and our own power workshop and water pump room are also on standby at any time, so we don't have to worry about being stuck!" Su Yitian said lightly, but in fact, their production in the past half a month was not smooth, at first the supplier asked to clear the previous arrears in advance, and then the Water Bureau asked them to settle the water bill, followed by the State Grid, and finally even the Environmental Protection Bureau came, in short, every step is very difficult, but with the efforts of Su Yitian and the staff of the whole plant, the production line has been running at a high load.

"That's good, after this batch of goods is delivered, we can operate the follow-up order, Director Wang sent a new sample from Libi country, you can take a look." While speaking, Chen Xi took out two cans from the bag he was carrying and handed them to Su Yitian.

"What is this? The workmanship looks very rough, and this is not English, right? What do we need to do, is it the same taste, or the same packaging, or is it all the same? Su Yitian was a little puzzled.

"In 1942, the canned beef distributed by the army of the North African noodle country, the top is Italian, I will find someone to translate it and send it to you, Wang Chu means that the outer packaging is the same, the content inside, the color is the same, the taste is similar, it doesn't matter what kind of meat is used, it is cheap."

"It's just ordinary tinplate, why is it so new, according to you, this is a can from eighty years ago, could it be that they were so advanced eighty years ago?" Su Yitian looked at this brand-new can in disbelief.

"Director Wang is from a multinational e-commerce company, so he should treat this canned food as a special commodity, Uncle Su, you don't have to care so much, just produce, anyway, it's not sold in China." Chen Xi didn't care, during this time, but she was busy, Wang Yue's side sent some strange orders every now and then, which was not very difficult, but the requirements for things were quite special, and she had to run around, begging people everywhere, and getting white eyes everywhere.

"This can't be done, as long as it is something that may be imported, it must not be sloppy, what happened to the people of the third world, that is also our class comrades, you can't fool around, I will hold a meeting to study it when I go back, and see how to get it right, the key is that Wang has reiterated several times that additives cannot be put casually, so this is a big topic." Su Yitian replied with a smile.

"Okay, Uncle Su, it's good that you care, and is there more than a dozen idle stamping equipment in the can-making workshop of our factory?" Chen Xi nodded and continued to ask.

"Yes, you know that many tanks are to be stamped directly, why, is there a business to take care of your Uncle Su?" After listening to Chen Xi's words, Su Yitian's eyes lit up at that time, he knew Chen Xi very well, if it wasn't for the need, she would definitely not ask casually.

"Wang has an order for aluminum products, and I think some of these components can be produced in our canning workshop." As he spoke, Chen Xi took out a bunch of things from the large canvas pocket he was carrying and handed them to Su Yitian.

"This is a military lunch box and a kettle, right? I just don't know which country it is, it's a bit simple, this material is average, it's too soft, I don't need this now, if you need it, you can go directly to your father, and let him help you get some war readiness warehouses to eliminate it? Su Yitian smiled and helped Chen Xi come up with an idea, in his opinion, there was no need to produce this thing by himself.

"This is the equipment of the World War II Noodle Army, Director Wang means that this thing is not large in the world, has a certain collection value, even if it is a replica, it is also very marketable, and the requirements for materials are not high, my idea is that you can use recycled cans or something to make it, or that sentence, cheap!" Chen Xi smiled bitterly, making and selling fakes? It's not counting, it's just making some replica goods.

"Okay, if the amount is not large, I will help you do it, don't be out of money, your Director Wang is bright, and my old Su can't be too careful." Su Yitian waved his hand and responded briskly.

"I suggest you still collect money, because the quantity is indeed a lot, and the first batch will cost 100,000 sets." Chen Xi smiled bitterly.

"100,000 sets? Also the first batch, is this foreign market so easy to do? This is all 100,000 sets and 100,000 sets? Su Yitian was also shocked.

"I have inquired with industry insiders, Director Wang was the first person in the industry when he used to do cross-border e-commerce, and with his ability, it is really possible to sell these things." Chen Xi sometimes thinks that if Wang Yue hadn't pumped his brain, embezzled venture capital funds to copy U.S. stocks and lost his underwear, maybe he would never have been able to intersect with him.

"Okay, I'll go back and check the cost, and I'll give you a quote later, do we need to bid for this?" Su Yitian nodded, although he was confident that he could give a very low price, he still didn't have much confidence in the competitiveness of the company, after all, the equipment was old, and the production efficiency was really meaningless.

"There is no need to bid, just quote the price directly to Director Wang when the time comes, and I can give you a contract if he thinks it is suitable, or sign a contract directly with Mr. Wang's company in Liby." Chen Xi shook his head, he didn't dare to tell Su Yitian that he could actually decide by himself, it was really a little incredible, he felt that Wang Yue didn't particularly care about these domestic businesses, since this was the case, what was his more important business? Is it something that violates the rules?

"Okay, and the five thousand military uniforms that your king's office ordered from us last time have all been completed, and they have all been sent to the treasury of your bank, and you have time to say to your king." Su Yitian reminded Chen Xi.

Wang Yue considered that Li Yunlong's military uniforms and other Zhang Wanhe's military uniforms may not all be changed, so he asked Chen Xi to entrust the garment company to manufacture a batch of Italian military uniforms with eight master gray, the number is quite a lot, there are 5,000 sets, and the price is also good, but the problem is that the requirements are too high, requiring the use of pure natural fabrics, buttons of specified raw materials, natural rubber bands, and dyes of the specified formula.

Later, Su Yitian knew about this, so he let the canned work clothes car indirectly this business, not to make money, even if it was to help Wang Yue, if you count the depreciation of equipment and plants, you may have to lose a lot of money.

"Uncle Su, it's really hard for you, don't worry, Wang said, there will be a big order after he returns to China to accept the product this time, a real big order! At that time, I am afraid that your workwear workshop may not be enough. Chen Xi also smiled when he heard this, and finally completed another job.

"That's great, if that's the case, the employment of our family's family and children can be partially solved!" Su Yitian was also very excited when he heard this.
