Zhou Mingli had also started his own business before, but it wasn't in the electronics industry.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli are different. Her grandfather started his business in electrical appliances, and her grandfather and father caught a good era and entered the real estate industry, making a fortune. By the time Jiang Ci took over, the new trend had arrived.
The Jiang family's businesses are diverse. Even if the focus changed later, they did not abandon their real industries. Jiang Ci knew more about television production lines than Zhou Mingli did.
That evening, Zhou Mingli pampered Jiang Ci so much that she felt completely relaxed and didn't want to move. He then held her in his arms and kissed her several times.
Zhou Mingli: "Did I serve Your Majesty well?"
Jiang Ci didn't even want to lift her feet, and glanced at him lazily. Zhou Mingli couldn't resist and pecked at her eyes again.
"Not enough?" he guessed, making a gesture as if to start another round.
Jiang Ci let out a soft groan and pushed his shoulder, "That's enough, I'm full."
Her throat was dry and hoarse. "Go get me a glass of water."
Zhou Mingli got up and poured a glass of warm water.
Jiang Ci had already gotten up, put on her nightgown, and was sitting at her desk looking at the drawings made by the surveyor.
"Of the 200 acres, 100 acres need to be used for production workshops, including surface mount technology (SMT), assembly, testing, and packaging," Jiangci said while writing on the side. "Warehousing and logistics include raw material warehouses, semi-finished product warehouses, finished product warehouses, and loading and unloading areas. This area accounts for about 20 percent. Then there are R&D offices, employee dormitories, a canteen, and a medical clinic."
Substations, wastewater treatment facilities, and other such facilities all require proper planning.
Two million in investment sounds like a lot, but when you look into it, it's not that much at all.
Zhou Mingli sat down next to Jiang Ci and listened attentively. Jiang Ci took another sip of water and said, "The technology isn't up to par right now. If you want to get the production line up and running, you'll need to hire experienced masters and people in the relevant fields."
"The construction period is expected to be two years, but Beijing will relax its policies next year and provide subsidies, so the economic pressure should not be that great."
Zhou Mingli said, "We've already put two million yuan of loans on hold."
Jiangci was speechless.
Zhou Mingli laughed again, bent down, picked her up and carried her to the bed, "After you explained it to me like this, I have a better understanding of what to do next."
Jiang Ci put her arms around his neck, her fingers caressing the soft flesh behind his ear, and said, "You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. Take it slow, just like before."
Zhou Mingli's heart was filled with emotion by her words, a mixture of bitterness and turmoil.
He gently kissed Jiang Ci's hair. "Okay."
Zhou Mingli called Mr. Lu to tell him the good news, and then shamelessly asked him to help find some experienced craftsmen in the south, saying that he wouldn't trouble two people for one thing.
Mr. Lu was so angry he almost laughed.
Jiang Ci gave him a gift once, and her husband took it all, eating and accepting it without missing a single thing.
Mr. Lu was no saint either, and demanded that Zhou Mingli give him 51% of the shares.
Wouldn't this mean I'm working for Mr. Lu?
Zhou Mingli was shrewd enough to personally make another trip to Hong Kong and completely turn the two million into a debt between the two of them. As for the production line that Mr. Lu helped introduce, it was considered Mr. Lu's investment. He would only be responsible for receiving money and would not participate in management.
When Zhou Mingli returned, he acquired another batch of radios and drove them back in a truck.
Xu San and Brother Yu stared wide-eyed at the T850.
Several people looked at the truck over and over again, and discovered that it was loaded with a lot of goods.
"Second Brother! Where did you get this truck from?!"
Zhou Mingli said, "It was stolen."
When Xu San and Brother Yu heard this, they almost believed it if they hadn't seen the smile on his face.
The all-new T850!
Brother Yu rubbed his hands together, exclaiming, "This car must have cost a fortune!"
Zhou Mingli nodded, his heart bleeding.
They spent all the money their family had saved.
If he hadn't gone with Cheng Shaojun and sold all the 20,000 yuan worth of clothing he bought, Zhou Mingli wouldn't have had enough money to buy this truck.
"Third brother, how about you guys sell the goods up there?"
Xu San was full of enthusiasm, "How could it not be possible!!"
Brother Yu watched with envy, "Then, Second Brother, what about me?!"
Zhou Mingli laughed and said, "Big brother, besides me, you're the only one who can drive. How could I possibly do without your help?"
Brother Yu got excited, "Second brother, if you want, I'll drive for you for the rest of my life!"
Zhou Mingli: No need for that.
The radio was first moved to the house that Zhou Mingli bought but hadn't moved into yet.
Xu San, Cheng Shaojun, and Sister-in-law Yu went to sell the goods as a group, while Brother Yu followed in his old, beat-up truck.
Zhou Mingli has purchased nearly two thousand radios this time, which should be enough for them to sell for a while.
Cheng Shaojun was quite knowledgeable. He learned bookkeeping from Zhou Mingli, recording how much was sold and then having Zhou Mingli settle accounts with them after the sales were completed.
Zhou Mingli focused his main attention on the factory.
His first priority was to deal with the workers who remained at the pickled mustard tuber factory.
There were fifty or sixty people, most of whom were middle-aged and elderly, whose children were not good for them and who could only rely on them as workers to earn money.
The factory manager of the pickled mustard tuber factory led the way and left, saying he was going south to do business, leaving this group of people and this mess to Zhou Mingli.
The factory's production line has been completely shut down, but the workers are still staying in the factory and unwilling to leave.
Zhou Mingli, carrying the documents that had been approved by the relevant authorities, signed and stamped, went to the pickled mustard tuber factory and asked the security guards to call everyone over.
Dozens of workers were filled with anxiety. They had known for a long time that the factory was going to fail, but they hadn't resigned. They were still employees of the factory, and they had to continue receiving their wages, so they couldn't leave.
Even if the factory has changed hands, they still need to be given an explanation.
Once everyone had arrived, Zhou Mingli looked at them, held up the document in his hand, and said, "Everyone, the pickled mustard tuber factory is completely gone. The relevant departments have leased the factory and the land to me. Here are the relevant documents."
Those who were already feeling uneasy were now completely flustered upon hearing this. "What do we do then?!"
"The pickled mustard tuber factory is state-owned; the government can't just abandon us!"
"Yes! What should we do!"
"This factory is my home! I've been here for over thirty years. Even if you want me to leave, I won't!"
"I'm not leaving either!"
The crowd chattered incessantly, filled with fear, repeatedly saying they didn't want to leave. Some people's voices grew louder and louder, as if this was all they needed to justify their actions.
Zhou Mingli was completely unaffected by their emotions and did not interrupt them.
After they finished howling, and no one picked up on them, their voices gradually faded away.
Zhou Mingli put the documents away and said, "Everyone, even if you don't leave, this pickled mustard tuber factory will still be demolished."
“Although you have lost this job, I can provide you with other jobs that will allow you to earn money.”
The workers who remained at the pickled mustard factory fell silent, staring expectantly at Zhou Mingli, waiting for his next words.
