The Supporting Female Character in a Chronicle Doesn't Do It Anymore

Ye Shuning, a Doctor of Chemistry, was struck by a meteorite and transmigrated into a chronicle novel she had read, becoming the male lead's cannon fodder ex-wife.

She just wants to stay ...

Chapter 157 Acquisition of a Factory

In fact, Ling Xuan had always wanted to cooperate with Sister Xiao Ning, but he had been holding off on bringing it up because of the unresolved family issues. Now that those family issues were basically resolved, he could finally start working on it.

Ling Xuan knew that his father had been training him so that he could take over from his father and grandfather as soon as possible, so that his father could be freed from the affairs that gave him headaches.

Now that Sister Xiaoning has started to move forward in big strides, he can't fall behind.

Ling Xuan said from the side: "Sister Xiao Ning, if you want to open a factory in the future and you don't have enough funds, we can cooperate."

Ye Shuning said, "I might build a fertilizer plant in the future, and maybe we can cooperate then. You should also know that there is a shortage of fertilizer in the mainland, and most of it is imported. The mainland is a huge market. But I won't deliberately raise the price like those foreigners do. After all, it's my own country, and I still have to give it the preferential treatment it deserves."

Ye Shuning talked about her plan to build two factories in Nangang.

It can be said that everyone involved is our own people, and they will definitely cooperate in the future. Telling them about your plans in advance will also give them an idea.

On the second day after the film's premiere, major newspapers published reviews of the film "Immortal Journey", which received rave reviews.

Some newspapers commented that this film produced by Wanhua Film Company created a new model for Nangang films. The reviews praised the film's bizarre and tortuous story and its wonderful and shocking pictures at great length.

Some newspapers praised the film's director as a goddess, saying that only Director Shu could shoot and edit such wonderful scenes. This is because many people know that Director Shu did most of the editing of the film.

All major newspapers praised Ye Shuning as a god, and believed that this was a major technological advancement in the film industry.

Various cinemas have started showing Ye Shuning and her team's new movie, and the grand scene of people queuing up to buy movie tickets has appeared again.

This time, Ye Shuning and Qin Zongye were more confident and did not drive to check it out themselves. Instead, they kept an eye on the reports from below.

Qin Zongye also began to arrange screenings in other places, hoping to make more money this time.

Ye Shuning's film incorporates a lot of ancient culture, making it both entertaining and artistic. After watching the film, many scholars also published articles in newspapers discussing the ancient culture involved in the film.

It can be said that this movie is more popular than the previous one. Many people watched it once and then watched it a second time. After all, there are really not many entertainment activities nowadays. It is worth spending a little money on movie tickets to have a visual enjoyment.

The box office figures have been rising rapidly. Ye Shuning feels that based on this trend, the box office of this year's movie will not be lower than that of last year's movie.

Qin Zongye acted quickly and had found a suitable piece of land that was large enough and very suitable for building a factory.

After hearing the news, Ye Shuning went to see it immediately. She felt it was very good and decided to buy it.

The location was, of course, remote and desolate, and most importantly, the land was cheap. There was also a textile factory not far from this plot of land, which Qin Zongye had investigated. Business was not so good because the factory had outdated equipment and its products were not up to par.

After hearing what Qin Zongye said, Ye Shuning looked at the factory in the distance and said thoughtfully, "Send someone to ask the owner of this factory if he's willing to sell it."

Qin Zongye looked at Ye Shuning after hearing this and said, "Why do you want this factory? Its equipment is very old, and it is said that the factory's performance is very poor, and it is almost losing money."

Ye Shuning said, "I'm not interested in the factory's equipment. I want to buy this factory so I can have a ready-made plant. We can buy new equipment and start production. Besides, the old equipment is not necessarily completely useless. Some equipment may still be usable after technological transformation.

The new factory we have here is certainly great, but it will take a long time to build. As the saying goes, the sooner you start producing, the sooner you can make money.

The old equipment can still produce good fabrics if it is improved."

Qin Zongye nodded and said, "I'll go talk to the factory owner and see if it's worth buying."

Qin Zongye was not in a hurry to buy the land, but went to negotiate the purchase of the factory first. He was afraid that the factory owner would raise the price after knowing that they had bought the land next door.

The textile factory Qin Zongye wanted to buy wasn't very large, and its equipment was outdated. The fabrics it produced weren't very good, and the defective rate was quite high. The owner of the factory was disappointed to abandon it, but continuing to operate it wasn't very profitable.

He doesn't have the funds to invest in new equipment, and is currently struggling to survive.

After Qin Zongye learned about the situation, he felt that it was easy to deal with, so he asked someone to contact the factory owner and promised to buy it if the price was right.

The factory owner was very happy when he heard that someone wanted to buy his half-dying factory, as he had been unable to find anyone to take over.

In the end, Qin Zongye successfully bought the factory at a relatively low price.

Of course, this factory was under Ye Shuning's name, and the money was also provided by Ye Shuning. Although the weaving factory would be built in cooperation with Qin Zongye, Ye Shuning must hold a large stake.

The two finally signed an agreement, with Ye Shuning holding 60% of the shares and Qin Zongye holding 40%.

After all, Qin Zongye has other industries to manage, so the new factory will be handed over to Ye Shuning for management in the future.

Qin Zongye hoped that Ye Shuning would continue writing scripts for Wanhua Film Company, so he offered to give Ye Shuning a 30% stake in the company on the condition that Ye Shuning write scripts for five films for Wanhua Film Company free of charge. As for future film production, the profits would be split according to the investment of the two.

Ye Shuning was no longer the unknown screenwriter she once was; her current value was high. Her status and fame alone guaranteed box office success. The people of Nangang had already determined that any script written by Shu was a masterpiece.

Ye Shuning felt that Qin Zongye wouldn't lose out. She knew that filming would be more profitable in the future, and her scripts were a guarantee. Plus, she would help with other tasks like costume design and set design, which would add value to the film. Therefore, she felt comfortable holding Wanhua Film Company's shares.

After acquiring the factory, Ye Shuning went straight to inspect the equipment. While it was indeed outdated, there was still room for improvement. Adding some auxiliary equipment and refining the process would significantly reduce the defective rate. Improving the raw materials would also yield better fabrics.

After returning home, Ye Shuning went to the research institute and searched the Internet. Although the equipment in the factory was very old and backward, Ye Shuning did find a lot of information on the Internet.

The information about the mechanical equipment of this era has long since been declassified and made public, making it easy to find. Even the blueprints are readily available. As long as one understands the principles and specific parameters of these machines, it's not difficult to improve them.
