In July, after the problem was resolved, Shuihua officially prepared to build a garment factory in Yuquan.

After hearing about it, the county and city took it very seriously.

First, with the current reform and opening up, economic construction is the main theme. In particular, Yuquanying is a pilot project for diaozhuang immigrants and focuses on poverty alleviation. The more prosperous it is, the more it has a demonstration effect. In their view, Shuihua can build a factory in Yuquan.

Great achievements, very supportive.

Secondly, Ning'an County has been a poor county since ancient times, with a backward economy and a harsh environment. It is very difficult to attract outside investment. Now it is difficult for Water Flower to invest in building a factory. It is a rare opportunity in ten years, and it is naturally worth welcoming with both hands.

But even so, Shuihua has encountered varying degrees of difficulties in many aspects such as approval, site selection, construction, water supply, and electricity supply.

Many departments have no sense of service. They delay things when they can and get stuck when they can. Things that can be done in one day have to be done in three or five days, and they have to make seven, eight, or ten trips.

To be honest, if Shui Hua hadn't been a strong-willed woman, she would have backed down from these difficulties.

But no matter what, in July, the garment factory officially started construction. The first phase of investment was one million. It was used to build factories, purchase equipment, purchase raw materials, and recruit employees.

If it can continue to operate, then additional investment will be made. If not, then it can only be closed down.

One million was already considered a lot of money at the time. When Zhou Jianping, the owner of Heilan House, purchased the woolen mill, he only invested 300,000.

…

When people in the village heard that Shuihua was going to build a factory, everyone was excited.

There are those who support it, those who oppose it, and some who just watch the fun.

"Shui Hua'er, Uncle Yi, don't take the risk. There's nothing wrong with a million dollars. If you buy meat and eat it, you can eat it for a lifetime, so why take the risk."

"Shui Hua'er, I support you! The current environment is reform and opening up, which will suffocate the bold and starve the timid. You should have a bit of an adventurous spirit!"

"Shui Hua'er, your factory is about to be built. Can I go in and work there? I don't know how to make clothes. I'll show you the door~"

The villagers talked a lot.

The An family was also a little unhappy about Li Shuihua taking the money to invest in building a factory.

Firstly, money is earned by Anjia, and investment should also be spent by Anjia. How can it be dominated by Li Shuihua? Secondly, it is virtue for a woman to have no talent. She and Yongfu have been married for two years. They are not thinking about having children, but just show off all day long.

, it is really unruly.

Therefore, An Guomin and Niu Xiuhua came to Xiang Nan's house to discuss with Xiang Nan while Shui Hua was away, asking him to call Shui Hua back and stay at home to have the baby. They asked him to hand over the clothing factory to An Yongshou and An Yongkang to take care of it.

In this way, all the money will stay with the An family, and the Li family will not be benefited in vain.

…

Xiang Nan did not object explicitly to his parents' request, but also raised several major questions.

How to build a factory, how to train employees, how to purchase raw materials, how to sell goods, how to maintain profits, how to create a brand...

"Dad, setting up a factory is not as easy as you think. You have to face many practical problems. If you fail to solve one problem, a million dollars will be wasted.

You ask Yongshou or Yongkang, which one can answer these questions, and which one has the confidence to manage the factory well?" Xiang Nan asked.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of the two brothers, but managing the factory is indeed not that easy.

What's more, in the TV series, he saw with his own eyes how hard Shui Hua worked for this family and how difficult it was. If he was not good to this woman, he would feel sorry for her.

As for An Yongshou and An Yongkang, although they are brothers, their contributions to him are insignificant, and as his elder brother, he really cannot be grateful.

An Guomin and Niu Xiuhua were speechless by Xiang Nan's questions, so they had to retreat first.

…

In September, the garment factory was officially completed.

On the day of the start of construction, county and city leaders came to celebrate and presided over the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

"The completion of the Liren Garment Factory is a great event for our Yuquanying Development Zone, and it deserves the joy of all of us. On behalf of the government, I would like to thank Ms. Li Shuihua for investing in this land and leading the villagers to get rich together.

I also hope that more business leaders like Ms. Li will come to invest in us. We promise to provide the best help, the greatest support, and the most favorable policies..." the city leader said impassionedly.

The folks in the audience all clapped their hands.

Xiang Nan also took the opportunity to urge the leader to seize the time to implement his promise.

For example, for roads, the Yangshui Station was secured in the first half of the year, and even now there is not even a shadow of it visible.

They agreed wholeheartedly, but Xiang Nan was still unsure whether it could be done.

However, the establishment of Liren Garment Factory is still a good thing.

…

After the completion of the garment factory, it officially started work and followed the route of self-production and self-sales.

There is no way, because Yanxia is not a coastal area and basically cannot do foreign trade, so it cannot receive orders or OEMs. It can only produce and sell by itself and create its own brand.

At the beginning, the factory recruited all skilled workers, all of whom were invited from the city, and then received food, board and lodging in the factory. The monthly salary was a base salary plus commission. The base salary was fifty, and the more clothes they made, the more clothes they made.

The more commissions you receive.

Basically, if you do a good job, it is not a problem to earn three to four hundred yuan a month. And this salary, not to mention in Yuquanying, even in Yinchuan City, is considered good.

Therefore, the folks in Yuquanying and even Jintan Village were envious and envious, and they all wanted to work in the factory.

"Shui Hua'er, you are a girl from Jintan Village. You can't turn your elbows outward. Aren't the girls from Jintan Village hardworking and smart? Why don't you recruit people from here?"

"Sister Shui Hua'er, I also want to join a factory, and I also want to make money. I don't want to herd sheep and dig wild vegetables in the Gobi Desert every day."

"Sister Shui Hua'er, please take care of me. I promise to work hard and never be lazy."

The villagers begged bitterly.

In fact, Xiang Nan was not in favor of expanding enrollment until the factory saw benefits.

Firstly, when people are recruited, wages have to be paid, which increases costs; secondly, after the recruitment is expanded, administration, logistics, and training must be supported, and there is a lot of work to be done.

So he wanted to persuade Shui Hua'er to be tough and not be persuaded by a few soft words.

"Shuihua, kindness does not control soldiers, justice does not manage finances. Business is business, don't be soft-hearted just because of the pleas of a few people." Xiang Nan advised.

However, Shui Hua is a kind-hearted woman after all. She will accept soft things but not hard ones. When the villagers beg and coax her, she will inevitably soften her heart.

"Well, I know. But the factory can still accommodate some people." Shuihua thought for a moment and said, "They can't make clothes for the time being, but they can iron and fold clothes. Yongfu'er, we still want to live in this village and we can't let the villagers

They are so cold.

Besides, the first batch of clothing has been sold smoothly, and our profits are still very good. I think it is necessary to expand production."

Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod when he heard what she said.

Later, Liren Garment Factory hired another thirty people as appropriate, which finally alleviated the turbulent public opinion.
