Chapter 219: Doing Business in the County
"Why isn't there a suitable place?" Xiao Yongyan looked at Lin Xi with a half-smile, "There are many paper mills in Lianggu County."
Xiao Yongyan's words immediately opened up Lin Xi's mind. Lianggu County is much larger in area and has more talents. Zhang Chengye was also recruited from there. There must be a way.
"I'm afraid they don't want me to go over there." Lin Xi said.
Xiao Yongyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "When did Madam still care about this?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I don't care."
Having made up her mind, Lin Xi immediately found Zhang Chengye and told him her idea. To her surprise, Zhang Chengye did not agree with Lin Xi's idea.
"Boss, if you don't have enough manpower, I can spend more time training them. There's no need to move to the county town." Zhang Chengye said.
Having said that, Lin Xi always felt that he seemed to have other ideas in his mind.
"Zhang Chengye, tell me the truth, do you have any concerns in your mind?" Lin Xi asked.
Zhang Chengye immediately shook his head, "No, Boss Lin, I like my current life very much."
Lin Xi was speechless for a while. He thought he was blind. He was obviously worried about something, but he refused to tell the truth.
"If I have to move, will you stay here?" Lin Xi said.
This really stumped Zhang Chengye. If Lin Xi moved away, there would be no point for him to stay here alone. He was not a local and did not have any land.
"Boss Lin," Zhang Chengye sighed, "I'll tell you the truth. From what I know, quite a few people in the county have set their sights on your business. As long as you open a store in the county, they will definitely find ways to ruin your business."
Lin Xi was stunned. "How could I be afraid of them? Could it be that the owner of a paper mill can cover the sky with one hand in the county?"
"Not really, but it's not difficult to cause some trouble." Zhang Chengye said.
Lin Xi thought for a moment, "I haven't done anything wrong to them, so why do they hate me so much?"
"Boss, we have the most profitable technology, which is enough to make others jealous." Zhang Chengye said.
In this regard, Lin Xi felt that it was not a problem at all, "They will buy them all over there."
Zhang Chengye was stunned. Acquisition? What does this mean?
Realizing that he was speaking modern language again, Lin Xi quickly explained, "I mean, buy them all."
Zhang Chengye laughed when he heard Lin Xi say that, "It's not that easy."
How could someone sell something that his family had worked so hard to make to Lin Xi? If he really sold it, wouldn't he be offending three generations of his ancestors?
But in Lin Xi's opinion, mergers and acquisitions between enterprises are normal things. There is no reason to refuse. Besides, there are no century-old stores in the county. It is impossible to expect them not to be tempted by money.
Zhang Chengye insisted that Lin Xi would never be able to accomplish this.
…
Zhang Chengye’s disapproval did not shake Lin Xi’s decision, and she went to the county town the next day.
First, he rented a room in an inn for a long time, and then went to Wanlifang, the largest paper mill in the county.
I remember that Zhang Chengye was originally from here, but later he had a very unhappy relationship and went to Lin Xi's place.
When Lin Xi walked to the entrance of Wanlifang, the clerk thought she was here to buy paper and asked enthusiastically, "Madam, what kind of rice paper do you need?"
Lin Xi glanced around and said, "Who is your boss? I'm here to discuss big business."
The clerk was startled. Seeing that he looked stupid, Lin Xi stuffed some loose change into his pocket and said, "Please let them know for me."
How could a worker in Lianggu County normally receive so much reward money? When he saw the money, his eyes widened and his attitude changed 180 degrees. "Madam, please wait a moment. I will tell the boss for you."
Soon, Lin Xi met Wu Minjian, the owner of Wanlifang.
"Boss Wu, my name is Lin Xi. I came to you today to discuss a big deal with you."
When Wu Minjian heard the name Lin Xi, his expression suddenly changed. "How dare you come to my Wanlifang? I remember clearly how many masters you poached from us!"
Lin Xi saw that Wu Minjian's face turned red with anger, but luckily he had dark skin and it was basically invisible unless you looked closely.
"Boss Wu, don't get too excited. What you are talking about are things of the past. I have something else to discuss with you now." Lin Xi said.
Wu Minjian was immediately furious. "I've let it go for you, but I won't let it go for us in Wanlifang! Lin Xi, you've already bullied us once, don't even think about doing it again!"
Lin Xi sighed helplessly. Well, she also admitted that her previous method was a little bit harmful.
"This time I'm here to make you rich, big money!" Lin Xi tried to say it from an angle that Wu Minjian might be interested in.
Unexpectedly, Wu Minjian was so furious that he didn't listen to Lin Xi at all. He just wanted to drive Lin Xi out of his territory as soon as possible.
"Lin Xi, are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!" Wu Minjian said on Huo Avenue.
Lin Xi didn't even have the chance to express his thoughts before he was kicked out by Wu Minjian.
I should have brought Xiao Yongyan along earlier. With him around, I would definitely not be kicked out.
Lin Xi looked up at the sky, but it was too late to say anything now.
It doesn’t matter, Lin Xi encouraged herself, if Wanlifang doesn’t work out, she can just go for another one.
This time, Lin Xi found another paper shop called Wen Mo Zhai.
This shop sells all kinds of study items and is much smaller than Wanlifang. The owner is a widow, not tall, a little plump, and looks very kind.
When Lin Xi saw the boss, he felt familiar with him and quickly greeted him.
During the conversation, Lin Xi learned that the owner's name was Yunniang. Her husband passed away ten years ago, and she has been running the small shop left by her husband ever since.
Up to now, although the business is not very good, it is enough for the family to eat and drink, and there will be some surplus during the New Year.
Yunniang was very satisfied with such a life. When Lin Xi proposed to cooperate with her on a big project, she politely declined.
"Boss Lin, I've heard of your name a long time ago, and I know you're a capable person. But big-money businesses also come with big risks, and my two sons are getting married soon, so I don't want to take any risks at this time," said Yunniang.
Lin Xi listened carefully to Yun Niang's words, "I know you have concerns in your heart, but I can tell you that my so-called big business is really a sure win."
Yunniang was still not impressed. "Boss, my store is so small. I'm afraid I can't do any big business."
Lin Xi had always been very confident in his rice paper business, but he never expected to get off to a bad start and get rejected one after another.
"Yunniang, have you ever heard of silk rice paper?" Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Lin Xi had to tell her his plan.
Yunniang said, "How could you not have heard of it? Our business has long been known to everyone, but most people have only heard of it and have not had the chance to see it."
The rumor was so magical that she was actually a little skeptical.
Lin Xi smiled, took out a stack of silk rice paper and handed it to Yunniang, "Take a look."
