Chapter 233 Going to the County to Open a Factory

"Open... open a factory? Qin Qing, are you going to start a township enterprise like we do in our village?"

Ma Fangfang immediately thought of the Hedong Mop Factory. Now all the certificates have been obtained and the production there is progressing steadily. If they set up a garment factory here, it would not be impossible.

"What township enterprise? It must be a factory. Sister Qing, I see your clothes are well made and your workers are all experienced. How about we open a clothing factory together? In the future, my store will sell these men's clothes directly!"

Wen Shishi didn't beat around the bush and directly put forward her ideas to Qin Qing.

Qin Qing had thought about opening a clothing factory a long time ago, but running a clothing factory was different from running a mop factory. The initial investment was considerable. The space, equipment, and workers were all big expenses. So, at first, she had only considered secretly running a small workshop, hoping to supply Wen Shishi. She hadn't expected Wen Shishi to actually want to start a clothing factory with her.

"Ms. Wen, have you really thought it through? Are you willing to invest in a clothing factory?"

Qin Qing asked tentatively. Wen Shishi's thoughts came out so suddenly that they were beyond her expectations.

"I can cover all the investments. If you don't have enough money, you can invest in Technological Development. As for the shareholding ratio, we'll have to recalculate it."

Wen Shishi said seriously that she had always wanted to open a clothing store. Now Qin Qing had all the workers and designers ready, and even the sample goods were already ready. She only needed to take over and invest money to expand the production scale, and she could easily make money. There was no reason for her not to invest in such a good project.

"What about the factory? We don't have the space right now, nor do we have a business license."

Qin Qing continued to ask her own questions. In fact, she had her own answers to these questions. She deliberately asked Wen Shishi just to know her opinion.

"As you mentioned, the fabric is supplied by the Zizhou Textile Factory, so we can choose Zizhou as the site. If we build a temporary factory ourselves, it would be too slow. If I remember correctly, the Zizhou Textile Factory relocated last year, and they have a vacant old factory building that we can rent. As for the business license you mentioned, it's just a certificate. I can go back to Shancheng and find someone to help me with it."

Wen Shishi had heard her father mention the old Zizhou Textile Factory before. Her father and the factory director had some old ties, so when she thought about investing in Qin Qing's small workshop, her mind raced. Continuing production in this location was definitely unrealistic.

If you want to find a more suitable place, the old textile factory is the best choice.

Anyway, I heard that the old factory is also empty, so I can just rent it and use it. Now the workers are already there, so I just need to equip the sewing machines and I can resume production.

Wen Shishi's idea almost coincided with Qin Qing's. She had already inquired about a suitable place in Zizhou City, which was the old address of the textile factory.

Given her current cooperative relationship with Xu Guoli, if she wants to rent it, it’s just a matter of price.

But she has never been diligent in doing it, mainly because she does not have enough funds, and once Fang Zhiwei's incident happened, she has even less time.

"How about it? Sister Qing, do you want to work with me?"

Wen Shishi blinked her big eyes. In her opinion, Qin Qing had no reason to refuse. She could even let her invest in the company in the form of technology without spending any money, and then she could take over the entire team.

Before Qin Qing could answer, Ma Fangfang asked the question in her heart.

"Miss Wen, are you saying that if we really want to open a factory, we'll have to go to the county town to work?"

"Yeah, that's for sure. There's no point in staying stuck in this small place any longer. Transportation and shipping are also very inconvenient."

Wen Shishi nodded as a matter of course. When she said this, Ma Fangfang immediately waved her hand.

"No, no, none of us will go."

Ma Fangfang's answer surprised Wen Shishi. She asked in confusion, "Why not go? What's so good about living in the countryside? You can go to the county town to work. That's a great job opportunity."

Ma Fangfang frowned. "Miss Wen, no matter how bad this countryside is, it's still our home. We village women come here to help out during the slack season. Who can go to the county town to work every day? It's too far and too much trouble."

Wen Shishi didn't expect that Ma Fangfang would have this idea. She nodded helplessly and explained to her.

"Sister Fang, if you go to work in the county, we will definitely provide employee dormitories, so you can live and work in the factory. Even if you come to help during the slack season, you should earn more now than farming, right?"

Live in a dorm? Work in the city?

The condition offered by Wen Shishi made Ma Fangfang more diligent.

If accommodation is provided in the county town, the whole family can move to the county town in the future, and then they will truly become city people!

"I'm earning much more than before!"

Ma Fangfang couldn't deny this. Word of the money they could make had already spread, and countless women from the village had come to her door, trying to find ways to give her gifts just to get a job. But they only had so many people available, and the space was limited, so where could they find a job?

Everyone else knows that the work they are doing is in high demand and they can get cash every day, so they all work hard and dare not slack off for a moment.

"That's it! If we run the factory in the future, you can earn this much every month. How much money will that be in a year? In the future, when you make money, you can bring your whole family to the city and settle down here, becoming real city dwellers. Wouldn't that be great?"

Wen Shishi spoke eloquently, and Qin Qing did not interrupt her. She just watched her quietly from the side, feeling amused.

I didn't expect that this Wen family's eldest daughter, who looked weak and incompetent, was actually very skilled in controlling people's hearts. Looking at Ma Fangfang's expression again, it was obvious that the rejection she had shown before was gone, and instead there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

No one can refuse the conditions she proposed!

"If you really don't agree, then we have no other options. Although it's a bit troublesome, we'll just have to recruit someone else to train."

Wen Shishi shook her head, looking extremely regretful, which made Ma Fangfang raise her hand immediately.

"Promise, promise! I definitely agree! Working in the city and earning this much money every month is something no one here, not just me, can refuse! Qin Qing, do you really want to open this factory with Miss Wen?"
