Duan Xingyan looked at Ji Xian warily.

Ji Xian looked completely harmless.

Duan Xingyan asked, "Are you the one who wants to buy my factory?"

Ji Xian nodded: "Yes."

Duan Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief: "You don't seem like someone who can be acquired."

Ji Xian laughed and said, "I'm too young, aren't I? But you don't look like the owner of a factory."

Duan Xingyan could no longer smile. He touched his face, knowing that it looked very weathered because of recent events.

Having been in business for many years, Duan Xingyan knew that one should take the initiative when negotiating a deal. He spoke first: "My factory production lines are all in good working order. It's just that I'm temporarily shut down due to cash flow problems. As long as you hire more people, you can resume production. My factory's annual output value is over 50 million. Even after deducting costs and workers' wages, the annual net profit is at least 2 million."

Ji Xian nodded: "Hmm, not bad. How much are you planning to sell it for?"

Duan Xingyan said, "Two million."

Ji Xian was slightly surprised.

He had never bought a factory before, but two million was incredibly cheap.

Ji Xian did not give a definite answer immediately, but said, "I need to see what your factory looks like first?"

Duan Xingyan stammered, "Well, I'll take you in tonight."

Ji Xian asked in confusion, "Why at night?"

Duan Xingyan said embarrassedly, "During the day, debt collectors always block my way at the factory gate, and I'm afraid of running into them."

"Oh," Ji Xian didn't want to wait, he was very busy. "When I came from the factory gate just now, there was no one blocking you. We can go and see now."

Duan Xingyan scratched his head and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Two million is not the full price of this factory. There are actually additional conditions. The additional condition is that you have to help me pay off all my debts."

Ji Xian frowned; he knew there must be something wrong with something that was so cheap.

"How much debt do you owe?" Ji Xian asked.

"Probably a million, with interest compounded by high-interest loans, it should be over a million now."

Ji Xian thought about it and realized that the total amount was over three million, which was acceptable.

Ji Xian nodded: "I agree to this condition."

"And, there's one more condition," Duan Xingyan said again.

Ji Xian frowned, already starting to get annoyed. How could this person be so pushy?

If he made any unreasonable demands, Ji Xian planned to just turn around and leave.

Duan Xingyan continued, "If you buy this factory, I want to hold a position there. Whether it's an assembly line worker or a security guard, I hope they can stay in the factory."

Ji Xian's brows relaxed: "Why?"

“I founded this factory myself, and I’m reluctant to leave it. I want to visit it often.”

Ji Xian smiled and said, "Are you being sentimental or nostalgic?"

Duan Xingyan also laughed: "I think so."

Ji Xian smiled even more broadly.

He's used to being a hands-off manager; isn't this a manager who's just handed to him?

"Since you've sold the factory but still want to stay, that's easy. I'll hire you as the deputy factory manager."

Ji Xian hastily took over a factory and doesn't even know how to operate it yet. With this old factory manager around, he doesn't have to do anything. He can be a hands-off manager and just sit back and collect the money.

Duan Xingyan's big eyes widened in disbelief: "You really want to hire me as the deputy factory manager?"

"Of course it's true."

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Duan Xingyan asked cautiously.

Ji Xian asked in return, "What's wrong?"

Duan Xingyan said, "After all, I am very familiar with this factory. If I were to have any ulterior motives or do anything underhanded, it would be very easy for me."

Ji Xian smiled faintly: "Can you?"

Duan Xingyan shook his head: "No."

Ji Xian smiled and said, "That's good. Let's go, take me to see the factory."

Ultimately, making money in the real world through the cannery is not Ji Xian's goal, and he doesn't even care whether the factory makes money or not.

His goal was simply to facilitate the transport of supplies to another world.

Therefore, even if Duan Xingyan were to do something underhanded and secretly make more money, Ji Xian could turn a blind eye, as long as he could manage the factory well.

Duan Xingyan felt reassured after talking with Ji Xian, and his mood brightened considerably.

They took Ji Xian to the factory.

Ji Xian entered the factory and saw the complete production line.

At the end of the production line, there were still many cans, piled up haphazardly on the ground without being tidied up.

On the other side is the factory's warehouse.

There were wooden crates piled up like small mountains, all filled with canned goods.

Ji Xian couldn't help but say, "So many cans?"

Duan Xingyan replied embarrassedly, "We bought too much raw material, and the products we produced are not selling well. We haven't been able to find buyers, and many of the canned goods here don't even have labels."

Ji Xian immediately noticed the word "no label".

Ji Xian asked, "So, many canned goods don't even have production dates and addresses labeled?"

Duan Xingyan nodded: "Yes."

Ji Xian grinned, a happy smile.

This is exactly the kind of supplies he needs!

Duan Xingyan had no idea what Ji Xian was laughing about.

Ji Xian said, "I've got my eye on your factory. Let's find a place to eat right now, it's on me. Then you get the contract sorted out for me as soon as possible, and we'll get all the paperwork done quickly!"

Duan Xingyan was surprised. He knew he was in a hurry, but he didn't expect this young man to be so decisive, which suited him just right.

Duan Xingyan was overjoyed: "Great, great, great! The contract will be quick. I've already typed up the draft. Just print it out."
