Grandma Xia quickly asked the housekeeper she had hired to prepare breakfast for Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao.

While waiting for breakfast, Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao played with the two little ones and told Grandpa and Grandma Xia about the factory's construction progress.

After listening, Xia Yuntao nodded and said, "Yes, at this pace, the factory will be ready for use in about six months."

In the past few years since China's reform and opening up, many policies have stabilized. Now, many overseas Chinese businessmen and people with some family wealth have realized this and are going into business.

Industries like clothing, which don't require high levels of technology, are ideal for many entrepreneurs, so if we're going to do it, we must seize the opportunity first.

"Once this factory is operational, you can choose another piece of land and build your own building to create a wholesale market. With the support of the wholesale market, in addition to the clothing industry, it can also reach shoes, bags, and even accessories such as scarves."

Xia Yuntao offered them advice.

Yang Qiaoqiao nodded, "Yes, Grandpa Xia, that's what I think too. I feel that now is the period of great benefits from our country's reform and opening up. Taking advantage of this, I plan to expand my business as soon as I have enough capital."

Later, I also plan to buy land and build employee dormitories, which will serve as both a benefit for the employees and a fixed asset for the company.

She had been considering this matter ever since she asked Zhou Yang to recruit workers in Yun County.

The reason she chose to recruit workers from Yun County was that Yun County could train all the workers before the factory was built, so they could start working as soon as they arrived.

This also takes into account the broader employment situation.

Although there aren't many people from Sichuan working here now, in the next two or three decades, whether in Haicheng or Guangzhou, most of the workers in labor-intensive industries like garment manufacturing will be from Sichuan.

That's why she thought of training the first batch of workers directly from Sichuan Province before assigning them over.

As for the future, recruitment will definitely continue in Haicheng, and the factory will then have workers from all over the country.

Xia Yuntao agreed with her idea after hearing it.

He then suggested, "Qiaoqiao, since you have this idea, Beixiao could open another construction company."

With a population of one billion, China faces a severe housing shortage, both in urban and rural areas.

Especially in cities, like Haicheng, there are many working-class families where three generations of eight or nine people are crammed into a small dormitory room of 20 or 30 square meters.

This group of people will become the main force in home buying in the future.

Yang Qiaoqiao, having lived a second life, naturally knew that in the next twenty or thirty years, the real estate industry would develop rapidly, and the entire industry would have a money-making effect.

Although Huo Beixiao had never lived again, he had seen in his dreams the future world filled with skyscrapers, and naturally sensed the business opportunities therein.

The two had already planned to start a construction company and enter the real estate industry.

Huo Beixiao's shopping mall in the provincial capital was a trial run for the real estate industry.

Although there was a slight mishap at the shopping mall due to Qin Haiyang's interference.

But since it opened, it has become a trendy shopping destination for young people.

Especially on weekends, the mall is even more bustling than a market during Chinese New Year. Young people spend money without hesitation, and the businesses that were brought in with rent-free periods are now reaping the benefits of opening stores in the mall.

They all voluntarily started paying next year's rent.

Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao had a rare breakfast at home. While eating, they briefly told the three elders about Huo Beixiao's aunt's family.

Although Lin Xiaohui's knowledge and experience have increased many times over since she was farming in Yangjia Village, she is still a farmer at heart.

Upon hearing that Huo Beixiao's uncle and cousin were such high-ranking officials, she was instantly shocked and turned pale.

Xia Yuntao and Madam Xia came from different backgrounds than Lin Xiaohui. Although their network of connections did not include officials as high-ranking as Huo Beixiao's uncle, they did have quite a few officials at the same level as Huo Beixiao's cousin.

Moreover, their ancestors had associated with many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so they were not surprised at all when they heard about the identities of their aunt's husband and cousin.

Xia Yuntao only asked the two of them, "Since you're going to visit today, have you prepared the gifts?"

For families of such status, who are also eager to make friends, the gift-giving is very particular.

Too light won't work, too heavy won't work either; it has to be just right, touching the heart, so that people will remember your kindness.

Huo Beixiao nodded and told Xia Yuntao about the gift he had prepared.

Actually, those things weren't really gifts he prepared; they were all left by his maternal grandfather.

He simply gave half of it to his aunt's family.

After hearing about this reason, Xia Yuntao nodded, "Since your grandfather has already left you this convenience, then you can bring one or two more presentable items to show your sincerity."

Besides what his maternal grandfather left behind, Huo Beixiao prepared a white jade cheetah as a gift for his aunt's husband, because he had learned that his aunt's husband greatly admired the spirit of the cheetah and loved everything related to cheetahs.

As for the gift for my aunt, it was a complete set of jade jewelry.

In addition, Yang Qiaoqiao brought a shawl embroidered by Master Su from Yiren Clothing Studio.

Master Su's Shu embroidery skills are exquisite. The shawl Yang Qiaoqiao chose is embroidered with a hundred birds. The embroidery is neat, with bright, dense and soft threads.

The birds seemed to come alive, so lifelike.

If this were in ancient times, it would definitely qualify as a tribute. Now that Yang Qiaoqiao is using it as a gift, it is certainly presentable.

After finishing breakfast, Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao took the two little ones to their aunt's house.

My aunt's name is Su Pan, and her husband's surname is Yue, and his name is Yue Rongzheng.

My cousin's name is Yue Jinchen.

Today was a day off, and Huo Beixiao had arranged to visit them long ago. To show their respect, Yue Rongzheng and Yue Jinchen also stayed home instead of going to work.

The Yue family lived in an old Western-style house in another district of Haicheng.

This old house was also left by her maternal grandparents, but the house had already been transferred to Su Pan's name before Su Pan went abroad.

It was precisely because of this that Su Pan was able to keep the house after marrying Yue Rongzheng, thanks to Yue Rongzheng's efforts, and prevent it from being ruined by those people during the turbulent times.

When Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao arrived, Yue Jinchen was already personally waiting at the gate with Su Pan.

As soon as they stopped their car, Su Pan walked over impatiently.

Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao got out of the car with the child. Su Pan's eyes reddened when she saw Huo Beixiao, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Beixiao, Auntie is so glad to see you!"
