Qu Xiangyou has been very busy recently, but he is in a good mood and full of energy.
"Now two more companies have found us and placed two orders. The quantity is not large, but their boss said that if our products are up to standard, they will sign a long-term cooperation agreement with us."
After a pause, he said with relief, "National policies are getting better and better, and all kinds of goods in the market are in short supply. Heavy industry is an even more important part. In recent years, we don't have to worry about the bill of lading at all, and the profits are even more considerable."
"Niannian, you made the right decision to open this factory. Within two months, you will be able to get back the money you invested."
The factory can now maintain normal expenses and Yang Niannian does not need to invest any more money.
Yang Niannian's eyes sparkled, and she said happily, "Master Qu, this is all thanks to you. I am an outsider, and without you, I would never have succeeded."
Qu Xiangyou said with a smile.
"It's you who gave me and my employees the opportunity to work, so we should be the ones to thank you. If it weren't for you, even if I wasn't fired by Beisheng, I would probably only be a master chef in the factory for the rest of my life."
Yang Niannian smiled and said, "We achieve each other."
After a pause, she changed the subject and asked, "Master Qu, what do you think of Miao Yu's work ability?"
Qu Xiangyou said bluntly, "I was just about to tell you this. The finance person you found is very good. He works very seriously and is very capable in accounting."
Hearing Qu Xiangyou's high opinion of Miao Yu, Yang Niannian breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and said.
"Master Qu, the workers work hard, and it would be tiring if they had to run home to eat at noon every day, especially now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It would be tiring to run around in the middle of the day. Otherwise, how about hiring a chef to cook and set up a canteen on the third floor?"
Qu Xiangyou's eyes lit up, "If that's possible, it would be the best."
Yang Niannian, "I'll have to trouble you to arrange this matter. In addition, every meal must include meat dishes. The workers do hard work, so their nutrition must be adequate."
"When I go back during the summer, I will consider buying some more houses to use as dormitories for the workers."
The mold industry is highly profitable. As long as you get on the right track, money will flow into your pocket continuously.
Workers in this era have simple thoughts and the factory benefits are good, so employees are willing to work even if it is a bit hard.
There are few capable technical workers now, so if you want to retain talent, you have to invest some money.
Even if someone becomes jealous of her business and wants to poach her workers, it won't be that easy.
Qu Xiangyou didn't expect Yang Niannian to be so thoughtful, and he became more certain that he had followed a good boss.
He recruited those colleagues, and they have good benefits, which makes him happy from the bottom of his heart.
"I'll arrange the canteen first. As for the dormitory, I'll wait until you come back in the summer to finalize it, and then tell the workers."
Yang Niannian had the same idea. She told Qu Xiangyou that they were just discussing it first and did not intend to make it known to everyone immediately.
The two chatted briefly about the order and then hung up the phone.
The weather was getting warmer and people felt sleepy at noon, so I took a nap.
…
Huang Guihua lingered in her hometown for six or seven days and finally got on the train to Beijing, and Fang's mother came with her.
It was her first time in a big city, and Fang’s mother looked at everything in curiosity. She often commented on passers-by’s clothes and almost got into arguments with them.
In the end, it was Yang Tianzhu’s wife Sun Lirong who mediated the fight.
"Aunt, they say a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. We are unfamiliar with this place, so we should not create conflicts with them. If we really start a fight, they will call their families over, and we won't be able to defeat them."
Fang's mother said with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes.
"What do you mean by dragon or snake? I just can't stand these women who dress like vixens, showing their big naked backs. If they're not trying to seduce men, what are they trying to do? If this happened in ancient times, they would all be thrown into a pig cage."
Although he said this, he didn't continue arguing with others.
The four of them took a taxi, and when they asked the fare, they felt it was too expensive and were reluctant to spend the money. Fang's mother even scolded the driver, saying that he was bullying the elderly and asking for exorbitant prices.
After asking several taxi drivers and finding that the prices were all similar, she reluctantly got in, muttering to herself that it was a good thing she didn't have to pay for the fare.
The taxi took the four people to their destination. Yang Tianzhu went to pay the fare, but Sun Lirong snatched the money and deducted fifty cents from it.
The driver was unwilling and started arguing with her. The noise attracted Yang Huiying out.
Seeing that they had just arrived and made such a big noise, Yang Huiying looked impatient.
"What are you doing? Why are you arguing with someone right after you get here?"
Huang Guihua and Yang Tianzhu were stunned, staring at Yang Huiying from head to toe, and almost failed to recognize her.
When Fang's mother saw how Yang Huiying was dressed, her face instantly turned dark.
When Sun Lirong met her sister-in-law for the first time, although she felt that she was dressed a little too fashionably, she did not act strangely and smiled in a flattering manner.
"Hui Ying, this driver charged too much. I wanted him to give me a 50-cent discount, but he was so stubborn that he refused to give me less."
The driver said angrily.
"We negotiated the price first, and I took you with me only after you agreed. How can you bargain for the price when you get there? If you had made it clear earlier, I wouldn't have taken you with me."
After Yang Huiying found out the reason for the quarrel, she didn't treat her sister-in-law well at all and frowned.
"It's only fifty cents. What's there to argue about? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
He turned to look at Yang Tianzhu again, "Brother, pay the money quickly."
Seeing that his sister was angry, Yang Tianzhu quickly paid another fifty cents.
Sun Lirong felt that her sister-in-law did not give her face, and she was unhappy, and her face immediately fell.
Yang Huiying ignored her and turned to walk into the store, saying, "Come in! Don't embarrass yourself standing at the door."
Huang Guihua and Fang's mother followed them into the store. Sun Lirong stood there in a bad mood, so Yang Tianzhu pulled her.
"Go! What are you standing for?"
Sun Lirong asked with a long face, "What does your sister mean?"
"What do you mean? What can my sister mean?" Yang Tianzhu felt that Sun Lirong was looking for trouble. "My sister gave us money to spend, asked us to come to the big city, and paid us a salary. How has she done anything wrong to you? Don't be so rude and look for trouble as soon as you get here."
If his wife hadn't been pregnant, he would have slapped her in the face for doing embarrassing things for her.
He didn't care about Sun Lirong anymore and went straight into the store with his things.
Seeing that everyone ignored her, Sun Lirong became even angrier, but she still followed them in. After all, it was their fault for coming here to seek refuge.
Fang's mother originally wanted to teach Yang Huiying a lesson, but when she saw the decoration of the store and the walls full of clothes, her eyes widened and she looked greedy.
"Hui Ying, is this shop really yours?"
Yang Huiying raised her chin proudly.
"If I hadn't opened this store, would I have enough money to build a house for my family? I'm also planning to open two bigger branches, and I asked my mom and brother and sister-in-law to come over to help me run the store."
