Chapter 111 (2/2)

”Where did you buy your sanitary napkin?” Guo Xiang asked, if there is a place to buy, just go and buy it yourself. Don't bother Emma.

”I brought it back from China. I said hello before I came. There's no one here. I brought it from a year.” Said Emma.

”No?” Guo Xiang frowned, ”there is no friendship store?”

”Other places don't know. Taiqing doesn't exist.” Emma said, ”I also inquired when I came. I said that in 82, foreigners came to China for tourism, and women couldn't buy sanitary napkins during menstruation. Later, it attracted the attention of the Ministry of foreign affairs and decided to import sanitary napkins.”

”Later, I imported a sanitary napkin production line, but I don't know why. Three years later, I haven't seen any sanitary napkins sold.” Said Emma.

”Imported sanitary napkin production line? Which factory do you know? ” Guo Xiang frowns. There was already a production unit? That's not popular yet? Or is something wrong?

If there is a sanitary napkin production line, can't it be produced? Why didn't you sell it?

”Then I don't know.” Emma shook her head.

”Well, I'll go to your place and take two bags first. Check it by the way.” Guo Xiang said.

I cleaned up, brought some toilet paper in my bag, and took some specialties from home. I collected Emma's things every time, but I didn't give her anything. I'm really sorry.

The package was packed and went out and transferred to Emma.

Took two bags of sanitary napkins from her, gave her a specialty of southern Hunan, taught her how to cook delicious, and then went to the city library.

She thought that if the production line was really imported in 1982, it should be big news at that time.

During this period, all enterprises competed for export to earn foreign exchange, but that unit chose to import production lines. This should not be a small matter, which may be reported in the newspaper.

But three years later, no sanitary napkins were sold. What must have happened?

When I got to the library, I found an administrator, ”comrade, do you have a newspaper of 82 years?”

”Yes, in the last row, go and find it yourself.” Said the administrator.

Guo Xiang nodded. There were indeed many newspapers in the last row, both in previous years and now.

Guo Xiang found the 82 year old newspaper and looked for a newspaper related to the economy. After a long time, she finally found out that in 82, Beijing Hengtong paper mill imported a sanitary napkin production line, which also caused a stir at that time.

But how can there be no sanitary napkins now? Guo Xiang was puzzled.

She looked for newspapers for nearly two years, but she didn't find any news about Hengtong paper mill. It's really strange.

Guo Xiang found several more yellow pages in the library, finally found the phone of Beijing Hengtong paper factory, borrowed the phone in the library and called.

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered, ”hello...”

The other party seems very unhappy and has a fierce voice.

Guo Xiang frowned, ”is this Beijing Hengtong paper mill?”

”Yes, who are you looking for?” The man's voice grew impatient.

”Do you produce sanitary napkins there...”

Before he finished, the man rudely interrupted Guo Xiang's phone, ”no, no, the factory is closing down, and what sanitary napkins are produced...”

Then he hung up with a snap.

Guo Xiang was stunned that the imported production line would close down after only three years? What happened?
