Yang Niannian knew that Qu Xiangyou was a sensible man. He put the interests of the factory first, which showed that he was truly concerned about the interests of the factory.
"Master Qu, you decide on the factory matters."
Hearing this, Chen Fang on the side laughed happily. She was happier than anyone else that the boss trusted her husband, but she was not very good at talking, so she just kept inviting everyone to eat.
Qu Xiangyou was also happy in his heart, but he did not let it get to his head. He remained calm and continued speaking.
"Liu Sheng has gone out on his own and has opened a small factory with five or six employees. He wanted to poach the experienced workers in the factory, but everyone knew his character and our factory was profitable, so no one paid any attention to him."
After a pause, he continued, "The factory is very stable now. Overseas customers are very satisfied with our products and are considering renewing the contract in the future."
When Jiang Yang heard this, he was very happy for Yang Niannian and interrupted.
"If you renew the contract with them, your factory will become the leading enterprise in Haicheng in the future."
Yang Niannian is very happy that the factory is performing well, but she doesn't want to expand the factory any further.
"I shook my head and said, the bigger the factory is, the more employees there are, the greater the responsibility is, so it's better to be cautious and prudent. It's best if the number of employees in the factory does not exceed one hundred."
If you have a small factory with stable income and have enough money, you can invest in other things. You can't put all your eggs in one basket.
Qu Xiang nodded slightly. He was only responsible for managing the factory, and other matters had to be taken care of by Yang Niannian herself.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Shishen spoke suddenly.
“If you don’t want to expand the scale, you can try outsourcing the orders.”
Yang Niannian's eyes sparkled. "You mean, send the orders we received to other factories? We can make a profit from the difference?"
Lu Shishen nodded. "Now that the manufacturing industry is booming and there are more mold factories, it shouldn't be difficult to find some reliable factories."
Qu Xiangyou admired Lu Shishen's brain very much. He agreed with Lu Shishen's ideas and praised them.
"Captain Lu is right. If we take these orders and send them out, our factory can also make a good profit from the price difference. Foreign orders are priced high, and many factories want to do orders there but don't have the channels. If we take them back, we can at least make 40% profit from them."
This is much less troublesome than doing it yourself. They only need to keep an eye on the other party's factory and control the quality.
Jiang Yang was completely impressed by Lu Shishen's intelligence.
"Brother Lu, you have such a brain. If you had been engaged in business, you would have definitely achieved great success."
Qu Xiangyou also praised them repeatedly. It must be said that Nian Nian and Captain Lu were really a perfect match, both of them were talented and beautiful.
Lu Shishen did not become complacent because of the two's praises. He reminded Qu Xiangqian.
"Contract renewal and outsourcing are all things for the future. For now, we still need to pay attention to Liu Sheng's movements to prevent him from doing anything behind the scenes that would harm the factory."
Qu Xiang nodded, "I'll keep an eye on it."
They ate and chatted, and a few dishes became a little cold, so Chen Fang thoughtfully helped to heat them up.
It was not until after seven in the evening that Yang Niannian and others returned to the scrap yard.
Jiang Yang and Jiang Yueyue had just learned a few moves and were in high spirits. They went back to practice in the yard, with Lu Shishen guiding them.
Yang Niannian felt that they did not know how to enjoy their lives and were suffering by staying outside in such a cold weather, so she went into bed to warm herself.
I slept until dawn, and Jiang Yang and Du Weili both went out.
Lu Shishen also went out and bought gifts and food for the children. Then he woke up Yang Niannian and Yueyue and went to the military family compound together.
Knowing that the two of them would come today, Zhang Yuting took a day off in advance and bought some food and returned to the military family compound early in the morning.
Zheng Xinyue also took a leave and rushed to the military family compound. As a result, the chain of her bicycle broke on the way. She pushed her bicycle back. Halfway through, she met Qin Aonan who drove to pick her up.
She was a little surprised to see her husband driving out.
"Hey, aren't Nian Nian and Brother Lu back? Where are you going if you're not at home with them?"
Qin Aonan opened the car door and got out. "It's almost time for dinner. I saw you weren't back yet, so I came to pick you up."
Zheng Xinyue was very depressed. "I guess I pedaled too hard and the chain broke."
Qin Aonan has also seen it, he said.
"You get in the car first, I'll put the bike on the roof and pull it back."
Zheng Xinyue didn't say anything more and obediently got on the passenger seat, not forgetting to stick her head out of the window to urge him on.
"Hurry up, Nian Nian is waiting for me at home. I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her so much."
"..." Qin Aonan paused as she put down her bicycle, turned her head and looked at her and said, "When you were studying in Beijing, we were apart for longer than this. Over the years, you've spent more time with her than with me."
All in all, they hadn't seen each other for more than two months, and the longing in her eyes was almost overflowing.
Zheng Xinyue said with reason and evidence.
"It's just that we've been together for so long that we won't be used to being apart again. We miss each other so much, and Nian Nian must miss me too."
If she hadn't been in the court and it hadn't been convenient for Nian Nian to go find her, she would have definitely gone to see her yesterday.
Thinking of this, she urged again, "Don't just stand there, hurry up!"
Qin Aonan felt jealous, but still quickened his pace and found a rope to secure the bicycle to the roof.
As soon as he got in the car, Zheng Xinyue urged him, "There are fewer people on this road, so step on the accelerator a little harder."
Qin Aonan didn't listen to her this time. He looked at her belly and said.
"You haven't had your period this month, maybe you're pregnant, you can't ride around like this."
The day before yesterday, Zheng Xinyue received a call from Qin's mother and inadvertently mentioned that she had not had her period this month. Qin's mother then specifically told Qin Aonan to be careful, as she might be pregnant.
Zheng Xinyue didn't care, touched her belly and said casually.
"How can it be so easy to get pregnant? Don't make a fuss. Even if she is pregnant, it is impossible for her to die after a bumpy ride. You are a soldier. How could your son be so fragile?"
Qin Aonan's mouth twitched, "I heard that the placenta is not firmly seated in the first three months of pregnancy, so it's better to be careful."
It is a good day for everyone to get together. We can’t let anything go wrong because of this short period of time.
Although Zheng Xinyue was anxious, she listened to the advice and finally stopped urging him. However, as soon as the car arrived at the gate of the military family compound, she went home before Qin Aonan could get the bicycle down.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw a room full of people sitting in the main room. Yang Niannian happened to come out of the kitchen. Zheng Xinyue was so happy that she rushed over and hugged Yang Niannian.
"Nian Nian, you finally came to see us. I missed you so much. The last time we met, I was so overwhelmed by the joy of getting married that I was too excited to talk to you properly."
Yang Niannian smiled faintly. This girl might have forgotten that they chatted until midnight that night and neither of them got much sleep.
"I'm going to stay in Haicheng for a few days this time, so we can have a good time together."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yuting came out of the kitchen. Seeing Zheng Xinyue coming back, she asked curiously.
"Hey, Deputy Captain Qin went to pick you up, why didn't he come back with you?"
