Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Zhong Shan paused after he finished speaking, and when he saw that no one said anything, he continued.

"As for sales, that will be a matter for after the factory is built. Now let me briefly talk about it. In the beginning, we will sell wholesale, which is the mainstream at present. As more and more dealers go to Pengcheng to make money, the demand will also increase. This situation will not change in a short time, so the most profitable and simplest way is wholesale.

But since it is a joint venture with Hong Kong businessmen, we still have to sell some products to Hong Kong Island and give some reports to our superiors. We are not familiar with Hong Kong Island, so we have to rely on the Lou family.

At that time, we can produce some cheap clothes and sell them to some civilian areas, but they cannot be marked with our own factory logo.

Then we also need to make some mid- to high-end clothing and open one or two clothing stores in Hong Kong Island that specialize in selling our own clothes.

It is much easier to open a store in Sijiu City.

As for building the factory, Yuemin will be the one to coordinate. Since Uncle Zhong has agreed to let you go, the task of dealing with these uncles will be left to you.

The remaining issues are the most important equipment and technical personnel. We have no way to deal with this and can only rely on you, Sister Xiao'e."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e took over the conversation.

"In Hong Kong Island, my brother and his friends came across a clothing factory that wanted to be transferred. All the machines were new. The boss was a rich young man. He had built the factory just to start a business to prove himself, but he failed. Now he is going back to inherit the family business.

If we can buy it, there will be some technical personnel, but I don’t know how many of them will be willing to come to the mainland.”

Zhong Shan nodded. The personnel problem was easy to solve. All that was needed was money. In the early stage, they would have to spend money to bring them to Pengcheng. After the mainland workers got used to the machines, they could go back home if they wanted.

The machines in the garment factory are not complicated and are relatively easy to operate. Even new ones are not that expensive, and they are already available in China, so there is no need to go to other places to buy them. Unlike other factories, buying equipment requires a large amount of money. It’s just that there are ready-made ones, and the machines and people are packaged together, and they are not far from Pengcheng, so there is no reason not to buy them.

"Okay, that's basically it now. Next, we'll set off for Pengcheng. Yuemin, you have to make arrangements at home as well. Your work focus will also have to be in Pengcheng."

In the next few days, Zhong Shan and his team were preparing to go to Pengcheng.

Although it didn't matter whether Zhong Shan went or not, he really knew nothing about doing business and running a factory, and all he knew were some superficial things that later generations knew about on the Internet.

In this regard, Zhong Shan is actually not as good as Lao Li and Lou Xiao'e. Although Lou Xiao'e is soft-hearted and easily influenced, after all, her family has been doing business for many years and she has learned a little bit about it. Zhong Shan just runs a restaurant and he is not the one who is in charge.

Even Zhong Yuemin is better than Zhong Shan, after all, he has a more enterprising spirit.

Zhongshan just needs to be responsible for paying the money. Otherwise, if you don't want to put in the effort and don't want to pay, then there is no such good thing.

Next, after Zhong Yuemin arranged the hotel matters, he went to Pengcheng with Li Huaide first, first to familiarize himself with the environment and look at the address of the factory.

The second is to arrange a meeting between Lou Xiao'e and the negotiation office.

The Negotiation Office, whose full name is Pengcheng Foreign Economic and Technical Liaison Office, is mainly responsible for negotiating with foreign and Hong Kong businessmen and introducing foreign investment.

The clothing factory that Zhongshan and his team want to set up is nominally owned by Lou Xiao'e, the Lou family from Hong Kong Island. It is a good choice to negotiate with them, and they will be given more preferential policies.

In the courtyard, Zhongshan, who had just finished his dinner, was digesting his food in the yard. His family hadn't cooked for a long time, and they always ate the food brought back from the restaurant. For a moment, Zhongshan was a little dazed, as if he had returned to the afterlife.

"Dad, you've gained a lot of weight recently."

After hearing what his wife said, Zhongshan looked at himself.

That’s right, my belly is now full. I have been busy working in a restaurant in the past few years.

It was okay when I was busy every day, but now that I have some free time, I eat and drink well every day and my weight has increased significantly.

"I guess I can't eat too much. I'm going to be like the old man in the backyard."

Song Lili thought about what Zhong Shan would look like with Liu Haizhong and shuddered.

"No, you haven't practiced boxing for a long time, right? Let's practice together. I'll practice with you. Don't really become like that. It's scary just thinking about it..."

After hearing this, Zhong Shan looked at his wife speechlessly.

"It's not good to do strenuous exercise right after eating. Wait until your digestion is good before exercising."

Anyway, the matter has been delayed. As for whether it was practiced in the end, only God knows.

I practiced martial arts without sitting down, and it was comfortable to drink tea.

"Wife, I will go to Pengcheng with Sister Lou in a while, and I will leave the house to you. Sister Lou's child cannot be taken with me, so I need you to take care of him for a few days. Comrade, the task is very difficult. You must overcome difficulties and complete the task assigned to you by the organization."

Zhong Shan had mentioned this matter before, so Song Lili was not too surprised when she heard it again.

Lou Xiao'e and her child have moved into the courtyard house. In addition to the fact that Lou Xiao'e wanted to move back and experience the feeling of living in a large courtyard again, more importantly, she would be going to Pengcheng in a while and could not take her child with her, so she had to entrust the child to Song Lili.

Therefore, we need to cultivate the relationship between the child and Song Lili in advance so that they won't become too unfamiliar.

However, Lou Huiyi was still relatively new to seeing so many people living in one courtyard. In addition, there was Zhongshan's youngest son Jiali there. They were about the same age and were classmates and playmates, so she began to like the courtyard quite a bit.

Song Lili agreed verbally, but suddenly her expression changed.

"Hey, my dear, Huiyi is a pretty girl, like a little porcelain doll. She is about the same age as Jiali. What do you think of her as our daughter-in-law?"

Zhong Shan was speechless as he looked at his wife's eager expression.

"Lili, our son has just started the red education class. He will only start next year. Are you looking for a wife for him already?"

Although he also likes Lou Xiao'e's daughter, she is too young...

Song Lili didn't care.

"What's wrong with the Yuhong class? The two children are in the same class now, and will be in the first grade together next year. It's so nice to be childhood sweethearts."

Zhongshan took a mountain red from the plate on the table and ate it.

It's really sour. It's been left for several days and no one eats it. It's a bit sour.

"Okay, do whatever you want. By the way, when you go to work tomorrow, give the Walkman to Xiaoyi. It will take several days to keep him here. I'll let Lao Li take it the next time he goes to buy some goods."

Xiaoyi, also known as Song Yi, was still a child back then, but now he is a young man in his 20s.
