Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 285 You won’t lie to me, right?

"Director Wang, how much do you sell this cannery for?"

"Canned food...canned food is 80 cents a bottle. What did you say?"

Wang Jianmin instinctively quoted the price of canned goods that had been agreed upon before. Before he finished speaking, he realized that Fu Wan was not talking about canned goods, but about the cannery.

"Comrade Fu, please don't joke with me."

His smile at this moment was uglier than crying. He had asked before if anyone wanted to buy the cannery, but these days, no one really looked up to this small, shabby factory.

Otherwise, they want to lower the price and make him sell it at a low price.

"Director Wang, I'm not kidding you. I'm serious. How much are you selling this cannery for?"

Wang Jianmin was so excited that he raised his hand and gestured tremblingly.

"Ten thousand... No, we'll sell it to you if you give us eight thousand."

He was afraid that his price would scare Fu Wan, and Fu Wan was indeed scared.

No one told her that buying a factory was so cheap!

She was thinking quickly in her mind that even if she bought the cannery, she couldn't stay here every day. As for opening the factory, she just wanted to be a hands-off boss and continue to be a fisherman at sea.

Seeing that Fu Wan didn't say anything, Wang Jianmin thought she thought the price was too high.

"Comrade Xiaofu, I didn't quote a high price. I have no choice but to pay a lot of wages to my workers."

Even he himself hasn't received a salary for half a year.

Fu Wan saw that he had misunderstood and hurried to explain.

"I'm not complaining about the price, Director Wang. I wonder what you plan to do after selling the cannery?"

Wang Jianmin smiled bitterly, and the eyes of the middle-aged man in his forties were red.

"I'll go see if there's any job openings. Even if it's just street sweeping, I can still earn some money for the family!"

For the past six months, thanks to his wife who didn't despise him and spent every penny carefully, he even forgot when was the last time his family ate meat.

"How about this? I'll pay 20,000 yuan. Director Wang, please help me select some workers, including yourself, to form a new cannery."

"Don't produce canned fruit for now. Sell the stock first. Have the fruit canner try canning fish. Once they succeed, we can start producing canned fish."

Fu Wan's words were like thunder exploding in Wang Jianmin's ears. It took him a long time to digest Fu Wan's words.

Twenty thousand, twenty thousand in the 1980s, that was an incredible amount of money.

He felt like pie had fallen from the sky.

It’s so unreal!

"Comrade Xiaofu, you said you would give us two... twenty thousand?"

He swallowed and spoke with a bit of stuttering.

"Yes, but the premise is that you have to help me manage the factory and replace canned fruit with canned fish."

"Can you do this?"

Wang Jianmin pinched his palm hard and finally calmed down his surging emotions.

"Yes, I made all these cans through experimentation. I grew up doing this! I can can fish, too!"

As long as he can keep his job and do his duty to the workers, he can make not only canned fish but also moldy tofu!

Fu Wan was relieved. "Okay, let's do this. Go back and make a plan for me, and write down the details of the factory. If there are no problems, we can sign a contract. The money can be transferred in cash."

Although she is rich, she is not stupid. The plan and other things can just be used to verify Wang Jianmin's ability.

"Okay, okay, I'll write it right away."

At this moment, Boss Fu's voice came from the door, "Awan, Aliang, are you in there?"

"Here it is!"

Fu Wan answered loudly, and when she looked at the watch on her wrist, it was almost twelve o'clock.

No wonder she felt so hungry.

"Director Wang, how about having a quick meal with us and chatting while we eat?"

Wang Jianmin's mind is now full of how to make canned fish, how to write the plan, and how to eat.

"No need, Comrade Xiaofu. I still have two steamed buns here, enough for two bites. I'll write the plan you want now. How should I give it to you when the time comes?"

Fu Wan picked up the pen next to her and found a piece of paper to write down the village's phone number.

"This is the phone number for our village. If you come by yourself, please go to Fujia Village to find me. My name is Fu Wan."

Wang Jianmin took note of it, then held the small note in his hand like a life-saving straw.

When Boss Fu entered the room, he saw a strange middle-aged man next to Fu Wan and Fu Liang. He was wondering why. Fu Wan and Fu Liang turned around and motioned them to go out.

"Comrade Xiaofu, you're not going to tease me, are you?"

Wang Jianmin was still a little uncertain. Fu Wan was almost speechless by his questions, but she could also understand his situation.

"Don't worry, I swear on my character that I'm definitely not trying to fool you."

"We just ordered a ship from the shipyard next door. Don't worry, just write the plan first."

Yes, they just bought a boat!

A ship costs a lot of money!

Wang Jianmin tried hard to convince himself in his heart. Seeing that he had nothing else to do, Fu Wan said goodbye to him and left the cannery with Fu Lao Da and the others.

Several people were starving. Boss Fu led everyone to the entrance of the state-owned restaurant. A tractor drove by and he remembered, "Oh my god, Brother Niu is still waiting at the supply and marketing cooperative!"

I thought the shipyard would be very fast, but it took almost two hours.

"Awan, Aming, Aliang, go in and order the food first. I'll go call Lao Niu over!"

Fu Wan waved her hands, indicating that she understood. "Dad, please hurry up! I'm starving."

It is no exaggeration to say that she can eat a whole cow now!

Although many self-employed individuals emerged at this time, the business of state-owned restaurants was still very prosperous.

Fu Wan wandered around for a long time before finding an empty table, and Fu Ming took her to the window to order food.

Since they had finally come to the county town, they naturally had to eat something good.

Fu Wan counted and found that there were four people in her family, plus Uncle Niu, making five adults.

So I ordered the state-owned restaurant's signature braised pork, a serving of mapo tofu, and scrambled eggs with chili peppers.

When ordering food, she accidentally saw beef on the menu and ordered it without saying a word.

"Hey, young comrade, you're really good at ordering. This beef was fresh this morning. A cow in the nearby village died of a difficult birth, so our restaurant bought some. We just happened to have two bowls left."

When Fu Wan heard that there were still two bowls, she couldn't let them go.

"Then fry them all for me, pack one and serve one on the table."

Beef is hard to come by these days because there are no cows raised specifically for meat, only for plowing.

However, cattle used for plowing cannot be killed, so the cattle sold on the market are those that died accidentally.

It can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It was a rare opportunity to come across this dish, so Fu Wan thought of packing some to take back and letting Ye Xiaocui and the others try it.

There were four dishes for five people, but she was afraid it wasn't enough, so she added a bowl of cheaper fried bean sprouts.

The state-owned restaurant was also very fast. By the time all the dishes were served, Boss Fu and Uncle Niu appeared at the door of the restaurant.

"Dad, Uncle Niu, hurry up, the food just arrived!"

Uncle Niu was a little embarrassed, "I've already eaten steamed bread, but your father insisted on dragging me to eat."

They always bring their own dry food when they go out and would never eat out.

"Hey, Uncle Niu, stop being so polite and sit down. The food in this state-owned restaurant is really good!"
