Hood has returned to the army and is applying for a change of station. He has not come here yet.
Hood was not surprised by this. Xiangnan never dragged his feet and would do whatever he wanted to do immediately.
Moreover, she is smart and resourceful, and most importantly, she can seize opportunities. It would be difficult for her not to succeed. He really trusts her.
"Wait until Xiangnan is stable, then you can take her back to Jinghai to arrange the wedding. The grandson of our Huo family must marry a daughter-in-law in a grand manner, not quietly."
"I understand. I will be transferred there in two days. Grandpa, please take care of yourself. Xiangnan may be too busy to take care of you. Otherwise, you can go back to Jinghai first."
"I'm fine staying here, no need to go back, just come over quickly."
As soon as Mr. Huo hung up the phone, Xiangnan came back. They were no longer living in the hotel owned by Uncle San of the Huo family. Mr. Huo bought a small villa here for Xiangnan and Huo De.
There are small villas here specially built for various businesses. They are all in a large area, and everyone gets to know each other better as they live here.
Xiangnan walked to work every day and met a couple who came from Hong Kong to do business. They had a trading company in Hong Kong.
Xiangnan took the opportunity to cooperate with them and sold the factory's electric fans to them, and they helped sell them abroad.
Now the electric fan blades in the factory are all made of plastic, which reduces the cost by one-third. They used to cost one hundred yuan each, but now they only cost seventy yuan in China.
Because of its price advantage, it quickly occupied the market in China. Now some families can buy two of the original ones with a little extra money. And since it is so hot in summer, everyone is willing to buy it.
Xiangnan has also increased the production of floor fans. This type of floor fan is the most convenient and can be thrown into any corner of the house, unlike table fans and wall fans which have limitations.
After the funds came in, mass production was possible. In the second month, the factory's production tripled and sales also tripled. Most of them were exported to Hong Kong, and the rest were sold domestically.
Domestic demand is not particularly large because the economy in many places has not yet developed to the point where everyone can afford an electric fan.
But even so, Xiangnan wants to be at the forefront and develop air conditioners that can be used by ordinary households.
Jiang Bo recruited a group of talents and signed an agreement with the factory to send them to Japan to learn their technology.
Jiang Bo lamented, “When I was at the car factory, I suggested sending talented people to Japan to learn their car manufacturing technology, but they were unwilling to invest.
When it comes to you, you take the initiative to bring it up. That’s what makes people different.”
"The happiest thing is to work with like-minded people. If you are happy, I am happy too." Xiangnan said with a smile.
Then she went to see Director Liu and said, "Director Liu, you can leave now. Three months are up. Thank you for teaching me so much. You can go and collect an extra six months' salary."
Director Liu actually didn't want to leave a long time ago, but he had said those words at the beginning, so it was difficult for him to say that he wanted to stay now.
He could only go to Mr. Huo and tell him that he didn't want to leave.
After Xiangnan returned home, Mr. Huo asked her, "Are you going to kick Director Liu out?"
"Did he say that?" Xiangnan asked.
"He came to me and said he didn't want to leave. He's been running this factory all along. Although he hasn't made any major contributions, the factory hasn't lost money under his management. I can't just kick him out just because it's grown too big."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I'm not that kind of person. It's just that when I first came, he looked down on me and said he had something to do and wanted to leave. Why doesn't he want to leave now? Why didn't he tell me?"
Mr. Huo frowned: "He said he was leaving? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm not complaining about this. It's not like I absolutely need him to stay. I just kept him for two months so he could teach me everything he needed to know. Now that I know everything, he can leave.
It's not impossible for my grandfather to keep him, but I don't recommend it. He doesn't have much foresight. When he saw me, a country kid, taking over the factory, he wanted to run away. It doesn't seem like he has much affection for the factory.
Of course, the main reason was that he looked down on me at the time, and I hold grudges."
Mr. Huo had no idea that Director Liu looked down on Xiangnan and was about to leave at that time, otherwise he would have fired Director Liu long ago.
"Then don't keep him. Give him a higher salary and let him go." Mr. Huo was not a heartless person, but he felt that it was unnecessary to keep such a person.
"Well, I'll give him an extra six months' salary."
"From now on, you will be in charge of all the factory matters. I won't interfere anymore." Old Master Huo didn't want to be an annoying grandfather. Xiangnan had the ability, so he shouldn't interfere if he didn't understand.
"Grandpa, if you have good suggestions, you can bring them up. As the saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure. You've eaten more salt than I've drunk water. There are things I can't see clearly, but you understand them better than us young people."
"I don't care. I'm fine just drinking tea, eating snacks, and listening to music every day."
Later on, Mr. Huo really stopped caring about Xiangnan's affairs. Xiangnan sent that group of talents to Japan, and Huo De was also transferred here.
The base is a bit far from Shenzhen, but Huo De doesn't mind the fatigue. He takes an hour's drive back every day and can't bear to be separated from his wife.
The factory's profits increased significantly at the end of the year. Half a year after Xiangnan took over the factory, the profits increased to one million. Even though he spent a lot of money to send people outside to learn technology and had to expand and recruit workers, he still made 700,000 to 800,000 yuan a year.
They were originally planning to go back to hold the wedding, but Huo De had just taken wedding leave, and it would not be convenient to take leave again to go home for the wedding, so the wedding was postponed to the end of the year.
As the weather turned colder at the end of the year, Xiangnan started to have the factory produce small sun electric heaters. She only made suggestions and plans, and as for how to produce and manufacture them, that was the research department's business.
There are many designers in this field in the factory now. Once she proposes it, they will invest money to let everyone do research and development.
That winter, Xiangnan's electric heater, Little Sun, sold particularly well and he made a lot of money.
During the Chinese New Year holiday, Xiangnan gave a large bonus to all the factory employees, and everyone said they would bring villagers from their hometown with them next year.
We will expand southward next year and will need to recruit more workers.
Mr. Huo also did what he said and gave the factory to Xiangnan. All the money Xiangnan earned belonged to her. Xiangnan is now a real rich woman.
Xiangnan was a man who would not compromise himself, so he bought a car, hired a driver, and formed a small convoy to drive back to the countryside to pick up Li Mo, the Huo brothers, Zhou Xiumei, and others to take them back to Jinghai to get married.
Xiangnan asked Huo De if he wanted to take care of the Huo family elders in Daxiang Village. Huo De said coldly, "No need. I'll be kind to them by not dealing with them. I can just send some money over during the New Year."
He has been doing this for years, just to thank them for not starving him to death and letting him grow into his teens.
"Okay." Xiangnan didn't want to pay attention to the couple. They were too selfish back then, making a child who was originally a favored child suffer so much while growing up.
If it were her, she would make them live in pain for the rest of their lives.
How could anyone take care of his younger brothers like Hood did?
She holds a grudge even more than Hood.
"Just let Huo Yun and the others attend the wedding as my family members." Xiang Nan said.
