Mao Huimei looked at the young man in front of her and asked, "Are you looking for the right person?"

"It's Xia Mian and Mao Huimei, right?" The young man in front of him accurately said their names.

The two looked at each other in confusion. They had just returned to the domestic exhibition area from the international exhibition area and had not yet reached their own booth when they were stopped by this young man, who said that he was from the Sanyi County Investment Promotion Office.

There are also many government projects in this exhibition, so there is a temporary investment promotion office at the exhibition.

When they saw He Min in the office, they immediately knew that something bad was going to happen.

The He family is really haunting. He Wei doesn't know if it's because he's too embarrassed or what, but he's not here.

He Min seemed to be certain that they were young and energetic and could not withstand provocation, so she still used the old method.

Pointing at them, he introduced them to a middle-aged man with a protruding pot belly and receding hairline, "Director Zhang, these are Miss Xia and Miss Mao. They just finished negotiating the purchase of machinery from Country D."

"Right?" He Min smiled at Xia Mian. "I saw you guys talked for over an hour. You can't possibly not buy it, right?"

Her tone made it seem as if it would be embarrassing not to buy it.

Xia Mian really didn't want to deal with such a low-class person, so she asked Director Zhang directly, "What do you want from us?"

Director Zhang smiled kindly. "I heard you were interested in buying a factory. I happen to have a cannery here, and I wanted to let you see if it would be a good fit."

He Min said, "Director Zhang, please don't underestimate Miss Xia. She's the girlfriend of an investor in the Mohe Group. She's far more capable than our He family."

When Director Zhang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

Seeing this, He Min smiled and said to Xia Mian, "Miss Xia, this cannery won't cost much."

"It's only 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. For you, it's just a little money slipping through your fingers." She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes revealing some contempt. "But if you don't have that much money, then just ignore what I said."

Director Zhang frowned when she heard this. Xia Mian was really annoyed with her and said to Director Zhang, "We do plan to buy a factory. But we need to understand whether it is suitable."

Seeing that He Min was about to interrupt, Xia Mian looked at her impatiently, "Miss He, have you been staying here all this time because you have nothing to do?"

"Even if you're free, please leave. We're going to discuss business secrets, so don't be so shameless and bother others here."

He Min's face changed slightly. She wanted to speak again, but was blocked by Mao Huimei. "Or do you want to buy it? Then we'll give it to you. You can talk first."

He Min looked at Zhang Defa's expectant eyes and didn't dare to agree. It was because he was worried about being pestered by Zhang Defa that He Wei didn't dare to come.

Now things are obviously going better than expected, but looking at the way Xia Mian and Mao Huimei look at bedbugs, she not only does not feel happy, but also feels depressed.

However, she really had no reason to stay and could only leave in disgrace.

After He Min left, Director Zhang suddenly sighed deeply and said, "Let me tell you in advance, the biggest problem with my factory is that I can't get a loan."

"If we want to revitalize it, it will probably cost at least one million."

"If you can accept this, then you can consider it; if not, forget it."

Xia Mian and Mao Huimei were both stunned.

They thought He Min was setting a trap for them and were thinking about answering carefully, but they didn't expect that this factory director who looked like he was embezzling money would actually be frank and honest.

As if he knew what they were wondering about, Director Zhang sighed and said, "If we were to sell our factory casually, it would have been sold long ago."

"It's just that I've worked in the factory for almost 20 years. Many of the people here have been there for almost their entire lives, and there are also skilled workers who have worked there for more than ten years. I see them being laid off and having no security in the future, and it makes me feel bad."

“So I always want to make it move again.”

Sanhuang Cannery is a county-run cannery. Although it is not a state-owned enterprise, its system is similar.

"The reason I wanted to find the He family is because they already do this business and their costs are lower than others."

"Secondly, they have ample funds and can definitely revive the factory quickly."

"I just didn't expect the two kids sent by the He family to be so defensive when they saw me, like they were seeing a flood or a beast. I didn't even have the chance to talk to them in detail."

Xia Mian was not surprised. She was almost deceived by Director Zhang's appearance. What's more, He Wei was a guy who liked to make subjective judgments and was self-righteous. He was afraid that he would make a judgment about Director Zhang as soon as they met.

Anyway, they really want to buy the factory, and if it's suitable, it would be a good thing.

Thanks to He Wei for being blind.

As for loans, with the premise of compensation trade, bank loans are not so important.

Mao Huimei had obviously thought of this as well, and continued to ask, "Besides not being able to get a loan, what other problems are there?"

Hearing that the biggest problem had been solved, Director Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then there's the issue of worker placement."

He asked, "What kind of factory do you want to open?"

Mao Huimei said, "Juice factory."

Director Zhang said happily, "The juice factory is great! The cleaning, disinfection, filling, and packaging workshops are all ready!"

He was a little excited. "I'm not exaggerating, but before we stopped production, the people who stayed in our factory were all experts with more than ten years of experience. They're the work of two people! They're highly efficient and work very well together."

"The Three Kings canned food brand is a long-standing one in Yan City. It's been around much longer than the He family's." He couldn't help but sound disappointed when he said this. "If it weren't for these chain reactions, and our sister factories all closed down and stopped production, we might still be able to hold on."

Xia Mian and Mao Huimei looked at each other. If it was really as Director Zhang said, then the most difficult labor and management would be ready.

After Director Zhang finished his sorrowful expression, he pulled out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase. "Here are all the factory's information, including its financial status. You can take it back and ask professionals to take a closer look."

"Then I'll talk about the worker placement issue." He pulled out a separate list. "This is the list of workers in the factory before the shutdown."

"Forty-nine of them worked in our factory until they died. The factory closed down, and I couldn't support them for life. So I thought of giving them a thousand yuan each..." Director Zhang paused, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and said, "It's a kind of explanation to them."

"Forty-nine people, forty-nine thousand. That's the price I'm selling the factory to you."

"There are about a hundred workers left. I've clearly marked their positions and strengths. If you can use them, just pay them later. If they're owed before, I'll personally do the work for them! All of this can be written down in the contract."

Xia Mian looked at Director Zhang and was suddenly touched.

In recent years, due to the wave of layoffs, it has become common for factory directors and leaders to be scolded and their offices smashed. It is impossible for Director Zhang not to have suffered that kind of anger, and it is obviously not easy to do his job, but he downplayed it.

In fact, if possible, most people hope to live happily with their own people. Who doesn’t want to live with a clear conscience?

Unfortunately, there are too many helplessness in the adult world, so the factory director did not hesitate to lower himself to "harass" He Wei, hoping to give a good end to the workers who had worked in the factory and followed him.

Mao Huimei obviously understood this and had great respect for Director Zhang.

She respectfully took the information handed to her and said, "Thank you. We will study it as soon as possible and give you a reply within a week."

"Okay, okay!" This clear answer made Director Zhang very happy, and he personally saw them out.

The two came out of the office with mixed feelings.

Soon, Mao Huimei took a deep breath and cheered herself up, saying, "Speaking of which, Xia Mian, you are really a lucky star."

"Everywhere you go, everything goes smoothly."

"If we hadn't negotiated a compensation trade agreement with Charles, we wouldn't have dared to buy this factory even if we couldn't get a loan."

Xia Mian smiled and said, "I'm wrong. I have to thank He Wei for this."

Mao Huimei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter when she realized what was happening. "That's right, both things were facilitated by him and his cousin."

"If we set up the factory in the future, won't he be mad to death?"

"Probably, haha."

After a few jokes, Mao Huimei continued to talk about this matter, and suddenly she became excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood. "Think about it this way, the factory is there, the machines are there, and even the workers are ready. If we hurry, won't we be able to start work within a month?"

"My God, what a big thing have we accomplished this afternoon?"

Xia Mian also felt it was quite dreamy, "Well, although none of them have been implemented yet, the shadows are there."

Mao Huimei laughed.

When the two returned to the booth, everyone had already packed up.

When Xia Wenyue heard the results of their afternoon battle, she just said "Oh" without any expression.

Xia Mian suspected that she didn't react.

Sure enough, on the way home, she suddenly sat up from her seat and asked, "Huimei, what are you and Xia Mian going to do?"

Mao Huimei said, "Mom, I want to open a juice factory!"

Then she went over the matter of compensation trade, imported machinery, exported products, and canneries.

Xia Wenyue was stunned when she heard this. "You two have made it big. Your business is going overseas?"

Mao Huimei smiled and said, "Let's give it a try."

"But my family doesn't have extra funds to support you."

"We signed quite a few orders today," Xia Wenyue said. "All the money is used up to stock up on goods. You'll have to figure out the startup capital yourself."

This means that this is Mao Huimei's own business, and whether the factory makes a profit or a loss in the future is all up to Mao Huimei herself.

Mao Huimei was obviously used to Xia Wenyue letting go, so she wasn't surprised. "Well, it's none of your business."

In the next two days, Mao Huimei did not go to the exhibition. During the day, she asked professionals to carefully inspect the factory situation, and she asked Ning Shaobai, Rong Xin and other people who had studied abroad about the foreign juice market. She even found out the time and place of foreign food exhibitions and made a rough sales plan.

I also worked all night to do budget, revenue forecast and evaluation.

When Xia Mian got the thin handwritten book that looked like a feasibility analysis report, he was completely impressed by Mao Huimei.

"Sister, you must let me invest!"

Ning Shaobai was there at the time, and together with her and Xiao Feng, the three of them were eating watermelon and enjoying the cool air in the yard.

Xia Mian turned to Ning Shaobai and said, "Doctor Ning, how much money do I have left? I want to invest in my sister. I think this factory will definitely succeed!"

Ning Shaobai helped Xiao Feng wipe the watermelon seeds from his mouth and said, "About 60,000 to 70,000."

After Xinsheng Food Factory paid off its loan, Xia Mian received a considerable dividend every month. Except for some money left for daily expenses, she gave all the money to Ning Shaobai to help her manage her finances.

The biggest expense in the past two years was buying two houses that were about to be demolished, and the bulk of the money was not touched.

"Sis, see how much you need, and come to me when the time comes."

Xiao Feng obediently raised her head and waited for Ning Shaobai to finish wiping it, then continued to eat half a piece of watermelon with a spoon. Hearing this, she said, "Leave some for stocks."

aestivation:……

She thought antiques and demolished houses were the end, so how come he still remembered stocks?

Xia Mian looked at Ning Shaobai in confusion, always feeling that this person was behind all this.

Ever since her birthday, he tricked Xiaofeng into giving him to her as her uncle-in-law, no, as a birthday gift. Xiaofeng seemed to have an extra sense of responsibility towards him, and she trusted and felt particularly close to him.

He always mentions him as a cover.

Ning Shaobai seemed unaware of it. He simply divided the watermelon flesh in the middle of his hand into two halves, gave one half to Xiaofeng, and fed the other half directly into her mouth.

Xia Mian knew that she probably wouldn't get anything out of him, so she could only say, "Then leave some for Xiao Feng to buy stocks."

"Sister, after the first batch of products comes out, I will personally accompany you to go abroad. We can get some orders first. It's okay if there is a deposit for turnover."

Ning Shaobai said, "I have a friend abroad who owns a chain supermarket. I can ask if you need any juice. I can just send some samples over to save you the trip in person."

Xia Mian immediately took his arm and leaned on his shoulder and said happily, "Wow, Doctor Ning, you are amazing!"

Ning Shaobai rubbed the top of her head with his chin.

Mao Huimei looked at him and secretly raised the corners of her lips, suspecting that he didn't want Xia Mian to accompany her to go abroad...

Alas, looking at them, she also wanted to fall in love.

I looked down at the report and realized that I could actually get rich.

On the fourth day of the exhibition, Mao Huimei made an appointment with Director Zhang and went directly to the office with her lawyer.

As soon as she got off the car, she ran into He Wei at the entrance, who seemed to be strolling casually. It seemed that he was waiting for her, and she didn't know what the matter was.

However, Mao Huimei worked against the clock for two days and two nights, her mind full of the juice factory, and she had no energy left for him.

When he came over, without waiting for him to speak, she took out a Walkman from her bag and slapped it on him, "Here is the truth of the matter, please take a closer look."

"You played a trick on me, and I played you back. We're even now. Please don't show up in front of me again. I don't have time to play with you anymore. Goodbye."

Mao Huimei was about to leave immediately after she finished speaking. As they passed by each other, He Wei subconsciously reached out and pulled her, "Wait, about the factory matter..."

Mao Huimei was caught off guard and the documents in her hand fell to the ground. She asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

He Wei, who was about to speak, stopped when he saw a document scattered on the ground. He bent down to pick it up and subconsciously flipped through it.

Mao Huimei's face changed, and she reached out to grab it. "What are you doing? Can you have some business ethics?"

He Wei frowned as if he was meeting her for the first time and asked, "Did you do this?"

Mao Huimei rolled her eyes and asked, "If it wasn't me who did it, then it was you who did it?"

After saying that, he put together the documents that the lawyer had helped him pick up and walked straight to the office.

He Wei stared at her back blankly, listening to her complain, "I'm going to have to eat coarse food soon, and I still have to buy a Walkman that costs over fifty yuan. I'm so unlucky."

He looked down at the Walkman in his hand, and after a while, he pressed the play button...
