Qian Duoduo received Su Ruanruan's goods. Looking at the photo on the shelf and the quantity displayed, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Su Ruanruan was really awesome; the health pill she sent was worth it.
Qian Duoduo found a time to say to Qian Mao, "Brother, I'm going on a business trip."
Qian Mao was taken aback and asked, "Where are you going?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Let's go to Guangzhou."
Qian Mao nodded and said, "Then you can take Abiao with you." He assumed that something had happened at the clothing factory in Yangcheng that required Qian Duoduo to go there, so he didn't think much of it.
Little did he know that Qian Duoduo's trip to Guangzhou was just an excuse, a way to justify the existence of his aluminum alloy doors and windows, which were not of this era.
Qian Duoduo brought not only Abiao with him to Guangzhou, but also two retired soldiers. One of them was even a veteran of the special forces, and his skills were so impressive that one of them could take down several others, giving Qian Duoduo a strong sense of security when he walked down the street.
When Qian Duoduo arrived in Guangzhou, he first went to a garment factory. In the early 1980s, there were no logistics companies, but large factories like garment factories had their own transportation teams. If Qian Duoduo wanted to use their transportation team, he naturally needed approval from the factory leadership.
Previously, the cooperation with the garment factory had always been very pleasant, so Factory Manager Yang welcomed Qian Duoduo's arrival. After the two chatted in the office about the new season's clothing styles and fabric selection, Factory Manager Yang said, "Duoduo, Uncle Yang is really grateful to you. Because of these orders from your cooperation, Uncle Yang's garment factory has become quite well-known in Guangzhou."
Uncle Yang can see it now: the styles of your clothes are indeed superior to those designed by the people in our factory. Our thinking is still too outdated.
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, don't underestimate yourself. Everyone's ideas have their own unique strengths."
How could she possibly say that the designs of her clothes were basically inspired by later generations?
Seeing that the discussion about clothing was over, she said to Director Yang, "Uncle Yang, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Factory Director Yang said with a smile, "It's really rare that you, little girl, still have something to trouble me with."
Qian Duoduo didn't mind Director Yang's teasing and said with a smile, "I came to Yangcheng this time to borrow your transportation team. I have a batch of goods that I want to transport to Pengcheng."
Factory Director Yang said with a smile, "This is nothing, it's no big deal. It's rare for you to ask, so Uncle Yang will send you a car."
Qian Duoduo shook his head and said, "There's a lot of stuff; one car probably won't be enough."
Factory Director Yang was taken aback: "How much stuff do you have? One vehicle isn't enough?"
Qian Duoduo said, "There is indeed a lot of stuff. I estimate that if all the cars in your fleet are dispatched, it will take about two trips to get it all."
Factory Director Yang fell silent, his gaze fixed on the smiling Qian Duoduo beside him: "With the entire fleet mobilized, we still have to make two trips. What are you planning to transport?"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "I just bought a piece of land in Shenzhen and plan to build some houses there."
When Director Yang heard Qian Duoduo's words, he gasped. He had just met this young girl when it was right after the New Year, when they were making spring clothes. At that time, there were only six of them in total, and it seemed like they were just small-scale operations.
These six men, after altering clothes from their own factory, sold them, and they became bestsellers time and time again. With the New Year approaching and others already building houses, he felt like he was falling behind; it was now the young people's world.
Factory Director Yang said with a smile, "Duoduo, it's impossible for Uncle Yang to lend you the entire fleet."
Qian Duoduo waved his hand and said, "Uncle Yang, I plan to go and find Director Liu and the others. I need to borrow a few trucks from each of the three factories so I can try to get all these things back at once."
"Uncle Yang, don't worry, I'll cover the driver's wages and the vehicle expenses."
Upon hearing this, Director Yang secretly praised her. He could see that the young girl's business was growing bigger and bigger, and she no longer cared about this little bit of money.
Since they've already gone this far, what else could he say? He thought for a moment and said, "Come on, let's go to my office. I'll call Lao Liu and Director Wang and tell them about this. They haven't seen you in a long time. Let's have a meal together as a group of four."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "That's great, thank you Uncle Yang in advance."
Factory Director Yang looked at Qian Duoduo and smiled as well. He knew that if he helped this young girl, he might need her help in the future.
Factory Director Liu and Factory Director Wang were very happy to hear that Qian Duoduo had returned to Guangzhou, especially when they heard that there was still cooperation to discuss. They immediately handed over their work and went to the restaurant that Factory Director Yang had mentioned, which was a very old-fashioned Cantonese restaurant.
These old Guangdong residents were very familiar with it. As soon as they walked in, they saw Director Yang and Qian Duoduo sitting in a corner of the restaurant, chatting and laughing.
Factory Director Liu walked over and asked, "You're here early!" Because Qian Duoduo is from Northeast China, they all spoke Mandarin, though not fluently, but Qian Duoduo could understand it.
But once they arrived, they unconsciously started speaking Cantonese. Qian Duoduo listened to their greetings as if they were listening to a Cantonese song.
Factory Director Yang smiled and said, "Do you understand?"
Qian Duoduo: "I don't understand what you're saying, but I understand how you greeted me!"
Factory Director Wang smiled and said, "Do you know how to greet people in Guangdong Province?"
Qian Duoduo blinked her big eyes and said, "Hey, handsome!"
The three factory managers looked at each other, then burst into laughter!
The four of them were friends despite their age difference. Even though they spoke languages they couldn't understand, they enjoyed delicious Cantonese afternoon tea and chatted about business.
After Director Liu and Director Wang learned that Qian Duoduo had bought a piece of land in Pengcheng and built a 20-story building, they both gave her a thumbs up.
Factory Director Wang said, "You're quite a bold young lady."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "This era is one that shapes people, an era where they can paint a magnificent picture of their own lives."
Director Yang listened to Qian Duoduo's words and nodded, saying, "When we were young, we didn't have enough to eat or wear. Looking back now, it seems to have the meaning of 'Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are first tested with hardship and hunger.'"
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "Director Yang looks like he's well-read! He's very capable."
Factory Director Yang waved his hand and said, "It's not about being well-read; it's just about reading books when you have time to calm your mind. Looking at it now, it's just that the circumstances have shaped us."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Heroes are made by the times, and the three factory directors are also great heroes."
The three factory managers burst into laughter again upon hearing this!
