Chen Dafa was completely shocked when he heard Fu Linchuan say that.
"Brother Da Chuan, you...you trust me?"
Fu Linchuan had actually inquired about Chen Dafa's character indirectly over the past two days, and his reputation was quite good.
Not only him, but also his wife, are both considered very nice and straightforward people by everyone.
You could tell just by looking at how Chen Dafa's wife gave him the money.
Although his wife manages the money at home, Chen Dafa does all the work.
Fu Linchuan said, "Although we met by chance, fate is a wonderful thing. We can be considered to get along well."
Chen Dafa had actually said so much along the way because he really wanted to do it.
However, his family wasn't really that wealthy. They ran a small shop, which was fine for small businesses, but they couldn't afford to start a business with such a large capital investment.
Now that Fu Linchuan has brought it up, he is filled with excitement and eager to try.
"Brother Da Chuan, you're truly a loyal friend. I've decided to be your brother." With that, Chen Dafa raised his glass of wine. "Come on, Brother Da Chuan, let's have a drink."
Fu Linchuan doesn't have a habit of drinking much; he needs to stay sober at all times.
He took a sip, put down his glass, and said, "So what if we're just drinking? Are you going to drink or not?"
Chen Dafa scratched his head. "Brother Dachuan, to be honest, I really want to do it. And don't worry, those who know me know that if I do something, I'll definitely do it well. But I still need to ask my wife about this. She's the one who makes the decisions in our family."
"Brother Da Chuan, please don't laugh at me for saying this."
Fu Linchuan laughed and said, "No, I love my wife too, and I listen to her. Listening to your wife is the right thing to do."
Chen Dafa was very surprised, "Brother Da Chuan, you're married? I really can't believe it."
"We've been married for several years, and my wife has given me two daughters."
When talking about his two daughters, Fu Linchuan's eyes were full of doting affection.
Chen Dafa looked on with envy. “It’s so nice to have a daughter. Unlike me, my wife and I have two sons. The older one is the one you saw on the train the other day, and the younger one is with my mom. My wife and I also wanted to have a daughter. Daughters are so wonderful, so sweet and caring, but we couldn’t have one.”
The three of them chatted casually, ate, and drank.
Fu Linchuan didn't drink much.
Before they went back, Chen Dafa said, "Brother Dachuan, I'll go back and ask my wife. I'll come to the guesthouse to find you first thing tomorrow morning and give you a definite answer."
Fu Linchuan took out a notebook and wrote down his contact address and phone number. "Brother Chen, the steamed bun business will have to wait until next year. It's too late this year, so there's no rush. You and your wife can discuss it slowly. If you can't come up with a solution tonight, you can write to me or call me later when you've decided."
“I’ve been doing my other businesses for years, and I’ll probably be coming here often in the future. We can talk then.”
Fu Linchuan wasn't in a hurry about this matter, so he went back to the guesthouse with Sun Xiangdong.
After a good night's rest, the next morning, Fu Linchuan washed up and prepared to have breakfast with Sun Xiangdong, and then planned to buy some food to take on the road.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Chen Dafa carrying some things toward me.
"Brother Okawa."
It's cold outside, and when I speak, my breath is all white vapor.
Fu Linchuan led Chen Dafa directly into the house.
Chen Dafa placed a cloth bag on the table. “Brother Dachuan, aren’t you and Brother Xiangdong on the train tonight? This is some food for you to take on the road. It’s all homemade, so please don’t mind it.”
Fu Linchuan looked inside and saw that there were eggs, cooked food, pancakes and the like, which was quite complete.
“Not at all, what’s there to complain about? These are all good stuff,” Fu Linchuan said. “Brother Chen, thank you.”
Chen Dafa said, "No need to thank me, Brother Da Chuan. I should be thanking you."
“I talked to my wife yesterday, and she agreed to let me work with you. My wife said that you can’t provide all the capital, but I will take a share of the profits. We can also contribute some capital. My wife said that I should contribute.”
Fu Linchuan laughed and said, "Brother Chen, to be honest, I'm a complete stranger here. I really need someone to help me manage things, and I think you're perfect for that. So, there's no need for me to put up any capital. As for the profit sharing, I'm serious. We'll sign a contract in black and white, and I promise I won't lie to you."
Chen Dafa became anxious, "Brother Da Chuan, I trust you, you definitely can't lie to me."
"Alright, Brother Chen, that's settled then. We'll have to rely on you for all the paperwork and preparations. If you ever go to Kyoto again, remember to look for me; I've given you my address."
Chen Dafa nodded repeatedly.
That evening, Fu Linchuan and Sun Xiangdong boarded the train bound for Kyoto.
After returning to Kyoto, Fu Linchuan didn't go home but went straight to the furniture factory.
Everything at the furniture factory is now ready.
The trucks arrived a bit slowly, so Fu Linchuan and his group slept at the factory overnight. The next morning, the group went to pick up the goods.
Zhang Xianglong and Sun Xiangdong watched as the workers carried the timber off the train bit by bit, then loaded it onto trucks and hauled it into the furniture factory, and they were filled with emotion.
With the arrival of these timbers, Fu Linchuan's furniture factory can begin work on its first batch of furniture.
Thanks to Fu Tongyuan's connections, Fu Linchuan's first batch of furniture had been pre-ordered long ago, and people were just waiting for the materials to arrive.
In addition, Fu Linchuan also plans to design some new styles to participate in the Kyoto Furniture Fair a month later.
This is a great opportunity to showcase our abilities. If we stand out at this exhibition, we're sure to get plenty of orders afterward.
That said, Kyoto has far more opportunities than Xuancheng in this regard.
Fu Linchuan doesn't need to worry about furniture production; Zhang Xianglong and Sun Xiangdong can lead the workers to do it.
In the following period, Fu Linchuan began to busy himself with drawing blueprints.
In addition to his original professional skills, Fu Linchuan's new furniture designs, which combined his rebirth with twenty years of experience, were of exceptional quality.
Some have unique styles, while others are simple and elegant.
There are Chinese styles, Western styles, and combinations of both.
Once all the blueprints are completed, the factory can begin preparing the furniture, as the exhibition is fast approaching.
The exhibition is scheduled just before the Spring Festival. If we can secure new orders, we can continue working on them after the Spring Festival.
Everything is just right.
The exhibition finally arrived, and the spacious venue was filled with furniture factories from Kyoto and other places that had registered for the event.
Fu Linchuan and his team had set up their booth a day in advance, and the name on it was—Haichuan Furniture Factory!
