Yu Bing continued, “If the factory’s reputation doesn’t spread and sales channels aren’t opened immediately, it will be difficult to continue the entire project. I plan to see if I can go to the other communes in the neighboring village to collect some eggs or other seasonal fruits to do some other food processing.”

“Firstly, we can expand the production of the factory to provide more employment opportunities for the villagers. For example, many villagers can weave gift boxes for the factory to earn some extra money after work. Secondly, we can buy products from other places. That can also drive the economy of some surrounding areas.”

Mr. Bai was convinced by the latter sentence. “Everything is difficult at the beginning. The government can help you guys with the first batch of production and sales, but if there’s a next time, we have to go through the formal procurement process.”

Yu Bing replied loudly, “No problem!”

Yu Bing thought happily that she would talk about future matters in the future. She would settle this matter first.

Mr. Bai wrote a certificate and asked the secretary to sign it.

Yu Bing took the approval to the Procurement Department. It wasn’t until both parties signed the procurement agreement and took half of the deposit from the Finance Department that this matter was settled!

Then, Yu Bing went straight to the fertilizer factory and found the factory director.

Yu Bing went straight to the point. She first introduced herself and then started chatting casually. “Mr. Ma, these are cherries we grew from your fertilizer we bought on credit. They taste very good. Try them!”

With that, she took out a clean spoon from the lunch box and handed it to the factory director with a smile.

This was the first time the factory director had seen someone speak so self-righteously about credit without any shame at all. His expression froze slightly as he took it and tasted it. He realized that the taste was indeed good.

When he saw the packaging, his eyes couldn’t help but light up. He said jokingly, “Miss Yu, you specifically gave me two bottles to try so that I wouldn’t collect the debt?”

Yu Bing replied with a smile, “You can say that, but we’re very self-aware. We sent it to you without you urging us!”

When the factory director heard this, he revealed a suspicious expression. Wu Jin had promised to repay the debt within a year. Now that half a year had passed, it would be great if he could repay it in advance!

However, on second thought, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

Hence, he asked Yu Bing tentatively, “Miss Yu, are you planning to return it soon?”

Yu Bing said calmly, “I do plan to pay off a portion first, but I can only pay it back after we sell the jam. What do you think of our jam?”

The factory director recalled the taste just now. Even if it was a pertinent evaluation, the taste wasn’t inferior to those tasty cherry jams on the market. Most importantly, the packaging was outstanding. To consumers, other than the brand not being famous, there was nothing to nitpick about.

When Yu Bing heard this affirmative answer, she revealed her purpose for this trip. “As long as you think it’s good! Isn’t the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon? The fertilizer factory should be preparing to start purchasing staff gifts, right? Our jam is definitely presentable as a gift!”

Only then did the factory director realize that Yu Bing had this ulterior motive. He said gloomily, “So you were planning to sell it to us to earn more money after you finished borrowing from us?”

Yu Bing said in disagreement, “You’re wrong! Even if there was no loan, don’t you have to buy things for the employees during the holidays? Honestly, is this jam good enough for your factory to buy and distribute as employee benefits or holiday gifts?”

The factory director had to admit that the taste and packaging were up to par! Hence, he relented and asked, “Then how much do you plan to sell it for?”

Yu Bing listed the prices of the two products and then said, “Mr. Ma, since the fertilizer factory is so rich, you guys have to order the gift box version, right? It’s more deluxe! If you give it to the employees and they bring it home from work, everyone will say that the fertilizer factory provides good benefits!”

The fertilizer factory was indeed profitable. Coupled with Yu Bing’s flattery, Mr. Ma decided to buy the gift box version. However, he still wanted to lower the price. “The price is too high. You have to lower it for us. The most famous Peony brand jam is this price!”
