Chapter 393 A Well-Known Wealthy Family
The following year, Kuai Yonglan was promoted to team leader because of her active work and outstanding performance.
Her former team leader was also promoted and became the workshop director in Jiang Tian’s new factory.
After becoming a team leader, Kuai Yonglan's monthly salary increased to 850 yuan. With various bonuses and overtime pay, she could earn an average of over 1,000 yuan per month.
Because of his sister's relationship, Kuai's younger brother got a job in Jiang Tian's new factory. Kuai Yonglan specially paid for a dinner and found a master craftsman for the younger brother to teach him the craft of making luggage.
This new factory is different from the previous ones.
Kuai Yonglan also heard rumors from the factory that the big boss of this new factory was planning to do some "high-end customization" and specifically make various briefcases, genuine leather women's bags, and suitcases with wheels for wealthy people.
I heard that the price of any briefcase in the factory is equivalent to their half-year salary.
I’m afraid this bag is made of gold?
The workers in the new factory are paid more than theirs, especially the old masters. I heard that their monthly salary is at least three thousand yuan!
I thought about how I haven’t found a stable job since I graduated from high school, and I’ve been setting up a stall near the train station. Although I’ve made a lot of money, it’s not a long-term solution.
The main reason is that I haven't proposed yet. The most popular marriage proposal in the city is to work in a government-run company, followed by state-owned enterprises such as the power supply bureau, cigarette factory, steel plant, and fertilizer plant. Then there are factories run by the municipality and the street offices, where formal workers are also quite popular.
Private enterprise workers like her are not very popular. Families with slightly better conditions don't want to hire private enterprise workers.
With their family's financial situation, they can forget about working in any large state-owned factory. But they can try to get me a job in a private enterprise, so that I can be a skilled worker who makes a living by my skills. Maybe I can even find a girlfriend in the factory.
What Kuai Yonglan didn't expect was that she originally wanted to send her younger brother to the factory to learn a skill, but unexpectedly, the big boss accidentally tasted the braised tofu that the younger brother brought to the factory, and actually took him out of the new factory.
It was only later that Kuai Yonglan found out that in addition to this sanitary napkin factory, their boss had also invested in many other factories, including one that specialized in making local specialties.
The three generations of the Kuai family have all run tofu workshops, and their tofu-making skills are unique. However, when they set up a stall to sell tofu, sometimes they don’t sell all the tofu, and they don’t want to waste it, so they make stinky tofu with the remaining tofu. They also make braised dried tofu or stinky dried tofu with the remaining tofu.
In her previous life, Jiang Tian loved eating the braised tofu that was ready to eat right out of the bag. It was very convenient to eat it directly or cut it into shreds and use in cooking.
Moreover, this kind of braised tofu in plastic packaging is especially suitable for taking on long-distance travel as a snack.
It just so happened that the father and son of the Kuai family knew how to make tofu, and their family also had a tofu shop in the provincial capital. Jiang Tian simply bought all the old houses on both sides of the Kuai family's house and expanded them into a bean products factory.
At that time, local governments were encouraging the construction of factories in order to develop the economy and solve the employment problems of the people. When Jiang Tian opened her soy products factory, not only did she get all the certificates processed quickly, but the street where the factory was located also awarded her a certificate to thank her for solving the employment problems of more than 30 unemployed young people in the street.
You know, if these more than 30 unemployed young people cannot find a job, they may not be able to find a partner. A person without family ties and without any scruples may very likely become a dangerous social hazard.
Moreover, Jiang Tian’s soy products factory not only solved the employment problems of more than 30 people.
After the bean products factory opened, many people nearby took the long-shelf-life braised tofu, spicy tofu shreds, spicy bean curd sheets and the like from the factory and set up stalls to sell them at places like train stations and bus stations.
This thing is inexpensive, does not take up space, is spicy and appetizing, and is especially suitable for travelers who take long-distance buses and have no appetite. After tasting it, many people will buy two bags to take with them on the road.
Some people even buy more than ten bags at a time and take them back to their hometown as local specialties.
Soon, Jiang Tian had people buy a billboard at places like the train station and the bus station, and openly made the "Lianxiang Dried Tofu" brand into a local specialty brand.
She also asked a reporter from the provincial newspaper to interview Sister Kuai's father. She heard that the ancestors of the Kuai family had been in the tofu business since the Qing Dynasty. The reporter was very interested and went to the old house of the Kuai family to take pictures of many old-fashioned tofu-making tools.
Now, the history of the new brand "Lianxiang Tofu" has been traced back to more than a hundred years ago, and it has become a "century-old store"!
As for why they didn't have a brand before but suddenly used the brand "Lian Xiang" now, according to Sister Kuai's old father, a few years ago, an overseas Chinese came back from abroad and liked the soy products made by their family very much, and enthusiastically invited him to open a factory abroad.
"At that time, he told me that if I was willing to go abroad to help him open a soy products factory, he would help me move my whole family abroad."
"I was really tempted at the time, but then I thought, this tofu was invented by our Chinese ancestors. If it is exported to foreign countries, the beans and water are foreign. Who knows if the tofu made will still taste like Chinese people?"
"I am a nostalgic person. Even at my age, I can't bear to leave my hometown where I was born and raised. Foreign countries are indeed better than us in everything, but I can guarantee that they can't make tofu as good as we Chinese. Otherwise, why can't the overseas Chinese find people abroad and have to come to China to find people?"
"Great!" The reporter from the provincial newspaper was so moved that tears filled his eyes.
After returning home, he wrote a touching report, exaggerating the brand of "Lianxiang Tofu" into the original intention of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to their motherland.
“Lianxiang Tofu” became popular overnight!
Jiang Tian took the opportunity to sell the factory's soy products to major train stations and bus stations across the province.
Now, whenever you travel far away and arrive in their province and exit the train station, you will surely see various soy products of "Lian Xiang Tofu" on the shelves of various specialty shops.
The soy products factory has expanded from more than 30 workers at the beginning to more than 300 workers now, and the factory area is twice as large as that of the sanitary napkin factory!
Now, Jiang Tian no longer thinks about how much compensation she will get after the demolition of such a large factory.
She is unwilling to demolish it no matter how much compensation is given!
Just this soy product factory can make her several million a year.
Jiang Tian, the investor, made a fortune with the soy products factory. The Kuai family, who followed her to set up the soy products factory, also became wealthy and well-known far and wide.
