Xu Xiangyang didn't feel disgusted at all when he saw him like this.

"You're still the same as before, smooth-talking." He teased with a smile.

Dong Er chuckled and said, "There's no comparison. It's not as good as when I was young. I was fearless."

There was a sense of emotion in his tone when he said this. He had nothing in the beginning, which was why he came here to work in the black market.

Now I have everything, but my heart still feels empty.

He is no more than two years younger than Xu Xiangyang, and he is also unmarried and doesn't even have a partner.

But there are a few women who are close to him, but they are just for fun.

Xu Xiangyang didn't want to discuss life with him, so he asked directly, "I want you to help me with something, are you willing?"

"Of course I am willing!" Dong Eryi agreed immediately after hearing what he said.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "I haven't told you what it is yet. This will require you to leave your hometown."

"Where are you going?" Dong Er was a little surprised when he heard that they were going far away from home.

But he still didn't say he didn't want to go, but asked where to go.

"Go to Xiangjiang."

"You'll have to stay there for a year or two, and then I'll come back and give you a good job."

Xu Xiangyang looked at him, wondering what he meant.

"So far?" Dong Er thought for a moment, still a little excited. "But I haven't been there yet. I heard that the old-timers all ran there in the early years, and it was quite prosperous."

He was still a little bit excited, after all, the farthest he had been in his life was to the countryside, and he had never been to a new city.

Seeing that he was interested, Xu Xiangyang told him about his own story.

He had thought about it a long time ago. After a few years of opening up the economy, the first thing he would need would be money.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a factory manager who earns a fixed salary. Where will the money come from if he wants to open his own factory?

So, he decided to let his people go out for a year or two and come back.

Wouldn't it be legitimate to invest in setting up your own factory at that time?

After one or two years, there will be no more entry restrictions here, so there is no need to worry about Dong Er's identity.

But he didn't mention what would happen next, he just wanted him to stay in Hong Kong for a year or two.

It will be useful for business in the future, so let him see the world.

Dong Er was very happy. He was happy to go. "Okay, Boss Xu, don't worry, I will definitely come back with a lot of skills!"

It is said that the women in Hong Kong are beautiful. Maybe this time, he can find a wife?

Just thinking about him makes him feel beautiful. It would be better to go out and see the world!

Qian Wenqing, who was standing by, was a little envious when he heard this. "Brother Xu, why don't you let me go?"

He didn't consider himself an outsider and said whatever he wanted to say.

Xu Xiangyang glanced at him and asked, "You can go if you want, but what about your wife and children? Can you handle it with a family?"

It's not that I haven't considered him, but compared to Qian Wenqing, Dong Er is easier to get out, and he is a smooth talker and more tactful in dealing with people.

Unlike Qian Wenqing, he wanted to show everything he was thinking on his face.

Such a person can be used internally, but he is not suitable for doing business outside.

Qian Wenqing really didn't want to go. All he cared about was his wife and children.

It’s really not possible to travel so far with your family.

This time, Xu Xiangyang made an agreement with Dong Er to let him go to Hong Kong in a few days. Of course, he could only go there illegally.

This matter still needs to be done by someone, but it is a simple matter and only requires some money.

The matter was resolved, and Xu Xiangyang agreed to give him money every month, which would be enough for his living expenses, but it was impossible for him to spend money like water there.

After all, he is not short of ancestors, so why would he care about this when sending someone away?

After leaving here, he pushed the cart back home. There were a lot of things hanging on the cart, all of which were taken out of the space.

The supply period has not yet arrived, so you cannot buy anything even if you have money and tickets.

But these things have solved a lot of problems for my family. At least I don’t have to queue up everywhere to buy things.

After resolving these issues in the past two days, Xu Xiangyang went to the garment factory.

He hasn't been back for several months, but everyone is still very enthusiastic about him.

Although I am no longer in the world, the world will always remember me.

Xu Xiangyang was far away in Peking, but he could get orders for thousands of pieces of clothing every quarter.

This is equivalent to half of the factory's output, and he did it all by himself.

They have to go to school to learn knowledge, serve the garment factory, and take care of orders. It's so hard.

So everyone admires him very much. He has never made any mistakes in all these years. He is a good factory manager.

Xu Xiangyang came to the office. There was no stove in the room, so it was very cold.

No one knew he was back, so no one lit the stove.

Cai Minggang asked him to work in his small office, while he went to the clerical office.

Xu Xiangyang was looking at the account book when Guan Qilin got the news and hurried over.

"Director Xu, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I haven't even lit the stove for you." He looked at the people in the room. Although it wasn't cold, it was a bit crowded.

After all, the room is only a few square meters, how can it be as big as the factory director's office.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Why tell everyone? It doesn't matter where I am. Secretary Cai has already gone to light the stove."

After saying that, he asked Guan Qilin to sit opposite him while he continued to look at the account book.

Guan Qilin didn't disturb him, but sat there waiting.

Half an hour later, Xu Xiangyang closed the account book and asked, "Why are the factory's orders decreasing? Compared to last winter, there are about two thousand fewer garment orders."

Logically speaking, with him getting orders in Peking, the number of orders would only increase, not decrease. This is very strange.

Guan Qilin sighed, his face full of worry.

He is also very anxious this time, but the factory has not yet come up with a good solution.

"It's like this. Some supply and marketing cooperatives have bought a lot of cheap clothes from somewhere. The clothes look good and are cheap. One piece is worth two of ours. Under such circumstances, the orders are naturally less."

This situation started when he took the order in the fall, but he didn't mention it to Xu Xiangyang at that time.

Even if they say it, it's useless. People are using costs as pressure, and it's impossible for them to lower their costs, otherwise they will lose money.

After all, raw materials cost money, and every stitch and thread costs money.

There are also the costs of workers, so where is there not a cost?

So far, they have not come up with a better solution.

Xu Xiangyang understood as soon as he heard this. He guessed that those supply and marketing cooperatives were using the leftover goods from the south.

This kind of clothes may be outdated in the south, but it is still a good choice in the north.

And the price is cheap, so many people are willing to choose it.

He thought about it and felt that this matter was indeed not something that could be easily resolved.

"We can't lower the cost. So, let's contact the marketing department outside. Locals are willing to buy cheaper, and we have no other choice."

After all, it is a personal choice. People can buy whatever they want. The money is in their pocket.
