Zheng Xinyue was sleeping soundly with the quilt in her arms. When she heard that Qu Xiangyou had arrived, she suddenly perked up and hurriedly got dressed and got out of bed.
"Oh, I overslept today. I'll get up now. Just wait for me for five minutes."
Yang Niannian laughed when she saw that she was so anxious that she put her shoes on the wrong way.
"Slow down, there's no rush."
"It's so rude to keep your elders waiting outside for so long!"
Zheng Xinyue quickly changed her clothes, ran out with her messy hair to brush her teeth and wash her face, and did not forget to say hello to Qu Xiangyou.
"Master Qu, please sit down for a while. I'll just brush my teeth and wash my face. It will be quick."
"Don't worry." Master Qu said with a smile.
After Zheng Xinyue finished washing up, the three of them had breakfast at a nearby steamed bun shop.
After paying for the meal and walking out of the bun shop, Yang Niannian said to Qu Xiangyou.
"Master Qu, there are guest rooms in the courtyard. Go and have a rest first. We'll go check out the equipment this afternoon!"
Qu Xiangyou shook his head and refused. "I came here by sleeper berth and have already rested on the way. Let's go check out the equipment first! After buying the equipment, I will go back with the car today. The workers are waiting for me to bring the equipment back to start work. They are ready to work hard."
People of this generation have simple thoughts and feel uneasy if they are asked to stay at home and do nothing while earning a salary higher than what they earn at home.
Every few days he asked Qu Xiang when he would buy the equipment back.
Yang Niannian saw the urgent look in Qu Xiangyou's eyes and knew that even if she asked him to go back and rest, he would not be able to sleep.
Simply nodded and agreed, "Then let's go buy the equipment now."
The three of them walked to the bus stop. While waiting for the bus, Yang Niannian asked, "Master Qu, how many devices do you think are appropriate to buy this time?"
She didn't know much about machinery production, so she wanted to hear more of Qu Xiangyou's opinions.
Qu Xiangyou had thought about these things a long time ago and made a serious proposal.
"If funds permit, it is best to directly buy four milling machines and three grinders, and find a large truck to transport them back home. This can also save the transportation cost of purchasing one or two more equipment later. When the factory develops better in the future, we can add some wire cutting equipment, which can save a lot of expenses and make some money from wire cutting."
Yang Niannian estimated and calculated in her mind and quickly made a decision.
"Then just buy all this equipment first. If you need anything later, as long as you think it's necessary, you can buy it directly. As for hiring people, it's up to you."
If we invite Qu Xiangyou to be the factory director, we must give him some power.
Qu Xiang was very grateful for Yang Niannian's trust in him and nodded.
"Okay, I'll come based on the situation then."
After a pause, he continued, "Now that the factory is open, it would be better to hire a financial officer as soon as possible."
Yang Niannian understood what Qu Xiangyou meant. He wanted to remind her to find someone she trusted to be the financial accountant.
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
Zheng Xinyue listened to the two people talking about business without interrupting them. Only when she heard that Yang Niannian was going to recruit a finance staff did she speak.
"Niannian, if you don't have a suitable candidate, you can ask my second uncle to help you find one. He knows a lot of people and has a good eye for people. He will definitely be able to help you find a suitable financial officer."
Yang Niannian's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's go buy the equipment first, and then call your uncle."
Glancing at the bus arriving, she said crisply, "Get on the bus first."
…
The equipment purchasing process went smoothly. Because they purchased a lot of equipment, the store provided good service and helped contact a large truck and arranged for workers to go to Haicheng to install the equipment.
After paying the money, Yang Niannian called Qu Xiangyou aside and handed him the remaining thick stack of money.
"Master Qu, I'm studying in Beijing, so I can't always take care of the factory's affairs. We haven't found a finance department yet, so take this money and buy whatever you need. If it's not enough, call me again."
The factory had just opened and needed to purchase a lot of miscellaneous items. Qu Xiangyou did not refuse and put the money into his pocket.
In April in Beijing, he was still wearing a cotton jacket, so from the outside you couldn't tell that he had a lot of money inside his clothes.
"I have an account book at home. I will write down all my expenses and hand it over to the finance department for reconciliation when the finance department comes."
Yang Niannian nodded, "Master Qu, then you should leave as soon as possible! Be careful."
Before Qu Xiangyou could say anything, the truck driver shouted at him to get in the truck from a distance.
Yang Niannian sent Qu Xiangyou to the truck. When Qu Xiangyou got in, she noticed a shotgun placed on the passenger's footrest.
This kind of thing is still very lethal.
Her eyebrows jumped, "Why are you still carrying this?"
The truck driver was a man in his forties, tall and strong, with dark skin and looked very strong.
Afraid that Yang Niannian might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, "Little girl, you don't know this, right? We are in a dangerous business of sports cars. Sometimes when we pass through remote areas, we may encounter robbers who specialize in robbing large trucks. So we put a self-defense device on the passenger seat to deal with emergencies."
A trace of worry flashed across Yang Niannian's face, and Qu Xiangyou saw it and hurried to comfort her.
"Don't worry, these are probabilistic events. We are just pulling some pieces of iron. It will be useless if others come."
Hearing this, the truck driver also laughed and said, "Little girl, don't worry too much. What the big brother said is right. I haven't encountered it yet. I just put a shotgun there to prevent it from happening."
Yang Niannian smiled and waved at Qu Xiangyou, "Then I won't delay your departure."
After saying that, he took a few steps back, stood beside Zheng Xinyue, and watched the car go away.
Zheng Xinyue had been following Yang Niannian obediently for a long time, not daring to say much. Now she was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, full of energy.
"Let's go home and call my second uncle and ask him to help you find the finance department. A factory cannot do without financial management expenses."
She was impatient and as soon as she got home and spoke to Zheng Haitian, she brought up the matter of looking for a financial manager.
"Uncle, Nian Nian's factory has opened, but it doesn't have finances yet. You know a lot of people, can you help her find a reliable one?"
Although Zheng Haitian loves his niece, he did not agree directly. Looking for financial help is not a trivial matter.
Most people would look for someone they trust when looking for a financial advisor. He was worried that his niece was too kind-hearted and might do something bad with good intentions.
"Did Nian Nian ask me to help find it, or did you want me to help?"
"It was me who suggested that you could help find someone, but Yang Niannian had no objection." Zheng Xinyue told the truth.
Zheng Haitian, "Give the phone to Nian Nian. I want to talk to her."
"How can I lie to you?" Zheng Xinyue turned around and handed the phone to Yang Niannian, "Second Uncle wants to talk to you."
Yang Niannian picked up the phone, "Boss Zheng."
Zheng Haitian really treated Yang Niannian as his junior and didn't want to play businessman's game, so he just asked directly if he had anything to say.
"Nian Nian, you haven't found a suitable financial person yet?"
Yang Niannian said seriously but politely.
"Boss Zheng, I come from the countryside, and none of my relatives and friends have received much education. I really can't find a suitable financial advisor, so I would like to ask for your help."
