"Right, regarding storage areas, whether it’s fabric warehouses or finished clothes, we need to separate them and eliminate all sources of fire." Tang Yue reminded, and after confirming with Tang Mingli, she then reassuredly said, "Uncle, now we’re just waiting for the sewing machines to arrive, then set them up, the fabric is also arriving, and we’ve hired people, we’ll be able to start working."
"Yes, the sewing machines should arrive tomorrow morning; when the ti cos, Xiao Yue, you’ll need to help supervise. I don’t understand this stuff, and we need to inspect each sewing machine thoroughly; if there’s any problem, we can discuss it with Boss Wen."
"Uncle, rest assured, tomorrow I’ve already told Dad to help with the cooking, and I’ll co to the factory." Tang Yue looked at the factory building shaped like an indent character. Although it was just a single-story building, after being painted, there was a feeling of being brand-new.
A single-story building looked sowhat simple, but she believed that moving forward, it would definitely grow bigger and eventually beco Wangjiang County’s largest garnt factory.
Tang Yue was filled with excitent.
Tang Mingli was equally excited. From having nothing to now owning a factory building, he felt completely energized, wishing he could work 24 hours a day, every day.
The next day, early in the morning, Tang Mingli got up early, and when he saw the large truck unload sewing machines one by one, he was kept busily spinning around.
Tang Yue brought breakfast over but didn’t have ti to eat before starting to check the first sewing machine.
In 1987, the new "three essential wedding gifts" replaced the old ones, but in the countryside, even for Wangjiang County, a sewing machine was an essential item for young people getting married.
Having a sewing machine at ho was incredibly convenient when needing to nd clothes.
Tang Mingli was not familiar with sewing machines, so he stood aside, watching Tang Yue test the machine, and said in amazent, "Xiao Yue, I’ve never seen you use a sewing machine before, you’re doing it so smoothly?"
"Hehe, little uncle, there are still many things I know how to do." After Tang Yue threaded the sewing machine, she took a piece of cloth and began to test the machine.
Tang Mingli was astounded and arranged the sewing machines neatly, just like arranging seats in a school.
Tang Yue ticulously inspected each machine, confird there were no problems, and then accepted the delivery.
The person sent by Boss Wen was also his closest associate and spoke very politely with Tang Mingli, stating that if there were any issues later, they would provide full maintenance services.
Tang Yue and Tang Mingli and others also greatly trusted them.
In addition to sewing machines, the overlocker machines bought at the sa ti also arrived. However, there were significantly fewer overlocker machines compared to sewing machines.
The factory was roughly divided into three sections: the first section for cutting, the middle section for sewing cut clothes, and the last for overlocking and adding unique labels before packing in plastic bags and storing in the warehouse.
To the left of the factory were the newly built warehouse and prototype workshop, and opposite were the old employee dormitories, sowhat aged but still habitable for those from further away.
Around the factory was spacious open ground where many vegetables had been planted in the back.
Testing the machines and setting them up took a whole day. After ensuring everything was in order, they settled the final paynt with the person sent by Boss Wen. Before leaving, Boss Wen’s representative specifically said, "Boss Tang, this is Xiao Qi, he’s from Jiang City, if you need anything, you can contact him."
"Okay." After warmly seeing them off, Tang Mingli looked at the originally empty factory, now packed full, feeling both thrilled and excited.
That night, Tang Mingli stayed in the factory, and Tang Zhengde, worried about any issues, also stayed overnight. The two brothers talked till late into the night.
The next day, the fabric also arrived, filling the once empty warehouse. Tang Yue was in charge of hiring. The flyers Tang Jun had distributed previously worked; that day, dozens of people stood at the factory gate, none daring to enter.
Tang Yue took the initiative and said, "Our garnt factory is about to start operations, so as long as you all can operate sewing machines to make clothes, we’ll hire you. Fifty US dollars a month with two days off."
Tang Yue stood tall in front of those won, her appearance was good-looking, and even in a simple plaid shirt, she had a unique charm, her youthful face making her look quite young.
A woman skeptically asked, "Can we take your word for it?"
"Yeah, this young lady looks even younger than my daughter," another woman chid in.
"What Xiao Yue said, is what I said," Tang Mingli hurriedly stepped forward and said, "As long as you can operate sewing machines for making clothes, we’ll hire you."
"But, we don’t live in the county, what about that?"
A woman in her thirties asked.
"We have dormitories here, accommodation is covered, but you need to prepare your own als," Tang Mingli replied.
"And can we really get fifty dollars a month?" the woman asked again.
"Yes," Tang Mingli affird.
"I’ll do it," the woman imdiately stepped forward, saying, "I want to work."
Fifty dollars a month, exactly when her husband was injured at ho, if she could earn fifty dollars a month, her son’s school fees would be sorted.
"Okay," Tang Mingli couldn’t wait to agree imdiately.
Tang Yue spoke up, "Sister, we are recruiting experienced sewing machine operators, so please follow ."
"Okay," the woman followed Tang Yue into the factory and saw a row of brand-new sewing machines, she opened her mouth wide in astonishnt; in her life, she had never seen so many sewing machines.
Her family’s sewing machine was a used one.
Who would have thought, new ones were too expensive to afford.
"Sister, take this piece of cloth, treadle a straight line, then a curve," Tang Yue said with a smile on her face.
The woman looked at the brand-new sewing machine, too scared to start, she hesitated and asked, "Young lady, this is new, I..."
"Sister, new machines are made for use," Tang Yue smiled gently, not annoyed by the woman’s hesitation, but felt that the woman in front of her was very decisive and also reasonable.
"Okay," the woman sat in front of the brand-new sewing machine, hesitant to start.
Under Tang Yue’s encouraging gaze, the woman took the fabric strip and confidently began to treadle, sewing a perfectly straight line across the strip.
