Many people may think this is impossible and he is just bragging, but who can know that a person is drifting in the south thousands of kilometers away from his hometown, with his parents, wife, children and friends not around, and he is not used to the food and drink, nor the climate. Although he makes a lot of money, he is like a rootless duckweed. Who can understand their inner suffering?

If they were twenty years younger, they would definitely not say such things, but most of these people are in their forties. This kind of wandering outside, which can make money but cannot give them the feeling of home, is actually what they fear the most.

Although the equipment of the National Cotton Mill has long been outdated, this is not a problem. The factory building of the National Cotton Mill is not outdated. As long as it can find a sum of money to replace the equipment and if it can bring back all these skilled workers, even if it is only half, it is estimated that the National Cotton Mill will soon be able to come back to life.

Of course, the prerequisite for doing all this is to have sufficient start-up capital.

Thinking of this, Li Long looked at his nephew. He had some thoughts, but hesitated for a moment. Finally, he sighed and said nothing.

Yang Jing saw all of Laojiu's expressions. Finally, seeing that his uncle hesitated and said nothing, Yang Jing knew that there were some things that should be brought up by him instead of his uncle.

"Uncle, are you tempted by my suggestion just now?"

Li Long took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it. "Nonsense, how can I not be tempted? If it is possible to take over the National Cotton Mill, I really want to give it a try. Those private cotton textile mills in the south are all very prosperous, I don't believe that this National Cotton Mill can't recover."

After a pause, Li Long let out a long sigh, "Look at Ermian. Ermian had already declared bankruptcy, but it was taken over by a private person and became Hengfeng. How prosperous is Hengfeng now? My man, if you and I were to take over the National Cotton Mill, could we also bring the National Cotton Mill back to life like Mr. Lu of Hengfeng did?"

Yang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, you can never do this by yourself. But if you can find some people who are capable enough to help you, and if you accept my investment, then it won't be difficult to revive the National Cotton Mill."

"real?"

"Well, I don't think it's a difficult task anyway. Uncle, do you know where the modern cotton textile industry originated?"

"Haha, I really know this. It's in the UK. To be exact, it's in Manchester, the city where Manchester United is located."

Yang Jing nodded, "Yes, the world's first steam-driven spinning mill opened in Manchester in 1781. Later, under the pulse of the European Industrial Revolution, by 1853, Manchester had no less than 108 cotton textile mills. At that time, the cotton yarn and cloth produced in Manchester accounted for 80% of the world's production, so Manchester was also named the 'Cotton Capital'!"

"Manchester's cotton textile industry flourished until the 20th century, but then it began to decline. In 1980, Manchester's last cotton textile mill was completely closed, and the cotton textile industry, which had flourished for nearly two centuries, completely left Manchester. However, as far as I know, a few years ago, a brand new cotton textile mill was rebuilt on the site of the former Toer factory in Tameside, Greater Manchester. This new cotton textile mill uses Zhuolang ring spinning machines produced by the Chinese, specializing in the production of ultra-fine and compact cotton yarns of 60 counts or more, specializing in the high-end cotton yarn market, and has achieved quite good profits."

Lao Ju Lingtou said, "Yes, I have also heard about this from a few of my friends. Currently, high-end products in the global cotton textile industry are becoming more and more popular. So, if I were to take over the National Cotton Mill, I would definitely specialize in high-end cotton yarn and fabrics. High-end products represent high profits."

Seeing that his uncle was indeed interested, Yang Jing smiled and said, "Uncle, if you really want to do it, I will fully support you! If nothing else, how about giving you an interest-free loan of 100 million US dollars? If it is not enough, I will lend you more! With this money, you can change it to any intelligent ring spinning machine or jet vortex spinning machine. As for the loom, you can change it to any rapier loom, shuttle loom, jet loom, water jet loom, or even multi-phase loom and magnetic weft insertion loom! Whether it is Japanese or German, or Italian and Belgian, as long as you like it, you can buy it as much as you want! How about it, uncle, do you accept this proposal of your nephew?"

The uncle rubbed his hands with a smile, looked at Yang Jing and said, "How about we give it a try?"

Yang Jing chuckled and said, "Uncle, let's give it a try! Your nephew may not have anything else, but it's no problem for me to provide you with enough funds."
