Lu Fan had a grudge against the Wang family, but he hadn't really suffered any losses at their hands.
If the Wang family doesn't feel they're at a disadvantage and is still willing to cooperate with him for mutual benefit, then Lu Fan has no reason to discourage their enthusiasm.
Listening to Lu Fan's rather "rogue" theory, Lü Qiuyi burst out laughing.
She smiled and shook her head: "Okay, I'll have a good talk with the municipal government."
Lu Qiuyi had previously handled cases involving large companies and conglomerates.
I've always known that such great opportunities come with high risks.
There's no reason to only see people enjoying wealth and status while ignoring the risks they take.
The same applies to acquiring the printing factory. Lu Fan has the resources, so there's no reason for him not to acquire such good land and such a good factory area.
This time, it was the municipal government that chose Lu Fan and gave him such a good opportunity.
In fact, if it were Lü Qiuyi herself, she would also be willing to take the gamble. Lü Qiuyi's admiration for Lu Fan grew even stronger.
"Just like soy sauce factories, such large enterprises are difficult to manage. It would be better to give them a new manager who knows how to run them."
"Otherwise, the soy sauce factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Xiangyu Printing Factory will follow the same path in the future."
When Lu Fan returned home, Jiang Manyue also learned about the Xiangyu Printing Factory incident:
"We've just arrived in Nanshan City and are not familiar with many places."
"Should I call Lu Xi and the others to see if they know any reliable printing factories that can handle your urgent job?"
It turns out that Jiang Manyue had heard some of it, but not all of it, and was still worried about Lu Fan's factory.
Lu Fan then briefly mentioned the acquisition to Jiang Manyue:
"I thought things were gradually stabilizing at the soy sauce factory, and I could start working on other things."
"Unexpectedly, a bolt from the blue struck at the most crucial juncture." Jiang Manyue's main concern was that acquiring another company on the verge of bankruptcy would not benefit Lu Fan at all.
"Is Wang Mingtang really planning this for you? I feel like he's trying to drag you down with him."
The soy sauce factory did indeed come back to life, but what about the printing factory?
"Is there any profit in this? Nowadays, offices are all paperless, so why would we need so much paper printing?"
After hearing Jiang Manyue's "profound" remarks, Lu Fan couldn't help but tap her head with his fist and chuckled:
"How come you have the same idea as Xiangyu's former factory manager? Didn't you ever think about open source at all?"
The knock didn't hurt, and Jiang Manyue glared at Lu Fan with wide eyes: "What do you mean? What source are you talking about? How else can a printing factory increase its revenue?"
Nowadays, newspapers and print media are not as developed as they used to be. In Jiang Manyue's view, this printing plant is a natural pitfall.
She still hoped that Lu Fan could free up more of his energy to do other things, and not continue to invest too much energy and capital in projects such as soy sauce factories and printing plants.
Lu Fan laughed:
“There are many places where we can open source our technology. Since it’s under the name of the municipal government and Wang Mingtang is acting as a go-between, it’s a good opportunity.”
"So, can municipal units hand over their holiday gifts and annual reports to the printing plant?"
"And then there are brochures, posters, and the like. With so many fans, how could they be without them?"
They didn't know how to open source in the past, and they acted arrogantly, relying on their former state-owned status and being out of touch with reality.
That's how things gradually got to where they are today.
The soy sauce factory could be blamed on poor management, incompetent management, and its own self-destruction.
The printing factory could only rely on old practices and squander its resources, eventually going bankrupt.
Listening to Lu Fan's analysis, Jiang Manyue's eyes grew brighter and brighter. However, she still thought of a question and said hesitantly:
"Now, we really don't have enough manpower!"
Lu Fan nodded:
"Aren't people from my hometown coming? Perfect, don't accuse me of nepotism, the family business is still a business."
"Everyone says that having many relatives makes it easier for them to take advantage of you, but when it comes down to it, don't other people take advantage of you?"
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Since it is something that cannot be avoided, Lu Fan would rather let his relatives take advantage of it.
In contrast, relatives might side with you, knowing that they wouldn't exist without you.
Outsiders might not necessarily agree.
Of course, Lu Fan still needed to explain these thoughts to Jiang Manyue:
"There must be a bottom line. They are here to work, not to bully others."
Jiang Manyue glared at him reproachfully:
"Look at what you're saying, it's like you're saying that when relatives come, they'll definitely cause trouble."
Lu Fan thought about it and realized that his mother's relatives didn't seem to be the kind of people who indulged others.
How much harm can ordinary people do?
When Jiang Manyue conveyed Lu Fan's intentions to Lu's mother, Lu's mother had no further comment:
"Let him do whatever he wants, my daughter and I will just stay home and enjoy ourselves."
Lu's mother felt that doing all that was too tiring. Since Lu Fan had already amassed such a large fortune, Jiang Manyue could simply quit her job and stay home to take care of the children.
Lu's mother had said these things for many years, but Jiang Manyue knew that she was not a bad person, just a bit talkative.
Let her grumble all she wants, Jiang Manyue won't argue with her.
