Director Ma took the blueprints to him, and when they met again, he felt quite emotional.
The last time we met was when the garment factory was completed; now it's been several years since we last saw each other.
Although he hadn't seen Xu Xiangyang in the past few years, he had heard a lot about his deeds.
This garment factory is run very well; he's quite capable at such a young age.
"Director Xu, it's been a long time!" he greeted with a smile.
Xu Xiangyang responded, and the two shook hands. "Director Ma, it's been a long time indeed."
The two sat in the empty seats next to each other, while the workers were still busy at work.
Amidst the sounds of hammering and banging around them, the two men were talking.
"I've looked at these blueprints. Are you sure this needs to be built like this?" Director Ma pointed to a factory building on the blueprints.
This factory building has a high frame, unlike the low-rise factory buildings we see nowadays.
Xu Xiangyang chose to do this for long-term considerations.
It's impossible to rebuild a factory after more than ten years; the cost would be too high.
“That’s right, just follow the blueprints.” He nodded and said, “I’ve considered it too. Don’t worry, there’s no problem with the blueprints.”
Hearing this, Director Ma felt a little relieved. As long as there were no problems, he could do whatever he wanted.
Xu Xiangyang then talked to him about the factory building, mostly about the blueprints.
It must be said that the blueprints he presented were economical and practical, and very suitable for the factory.
Director Ma suddenly remembered something and said, "I recently heard that another big boss has come up with a business in our new town, also building a food factory. It seems you'll have a competitor in the future!"
He knew the factory was built in Xu Xiangyang's father's name, but he was convinced that Xu Xiangyang was the actual operator.
After all, he still acknowledged this person's abilities.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang glanced at him and asked, "Director Ma, do you know who it is?"
These days there are so many dried food products. The main reason is that people want to improve their lives, and the first thing they do is improve their diet.
Only after one's basic needs for food and drink are met will one be able to use clothing as an outer garment.
Secondly, once families are better off financially, they can use household appliances to meet their living needs.
Finally, there are cars and such. Bicycles are a bit cheaper, and their price is actually similar to that of home appliances, sometimes even lower.
Xu Xiangyang also thought that as long as he worked hard, the food factory would definitely make money.
Director Ma shook his head. "I'm not too sure, I just know they came from out of town."
He heard about it from someone else, and now they're going to build a factory, though it might be a little late.
It is currently in the planning stage, and a date has not yet been set.
Xu Xiangyang didn't ask any more questions. Since he didn't know, he would have to ask others.
If it's also canned food, then there will definitely be competition; if it's other ordinary food, then it's not a big deal.
After Dong Er saw that he had finished talking with Director Ma, he went to talk to him for a few minutes.
"Mr. Xu, our factory is estimated to take more than a year to open. Do I still need to go back to Hong Kong?"
Xu Xiangyang shook his head and replied, "Things are more or less settled now, there's no point in you going back."
"What, there are still people you haven't brought back?" He looked at Dong Er with a half-smile.
It's understandable, really; what man doesn't have a woman?
Especially in Hong Kong, the women there are gentle and beautiful, and their dressing, manners, and conversation are incomparable to those of the women here.
At least they are open-minded and have a relaxed attitude.
Dong Er smiled and scratched his head sheepishly, "Hehe, not really. If you don't need me, I'll just go back and take a couple of months to clean up before heading back."
Xu Xiangyang didn't stop him. Let him go wherever he wants. It's not like he's tied up here.
"Go on your way, don't worry about this. Bring the person back when you have the chance, so everyone can see them."
After some teasing, Dong Er just smiled and remained silent.
However, it's clear that this person genuinely likes her; otherwise, he wouldn't act this way.
After returning home, Xu Xiangyang went to the front yard first, as he would come home for dinner every night.
As soon as he entered the house, he noticed that there were two more people inside.
A woman in her twenties and a woman in her fifties.
"Xiangyang's back. You must have been busy all day. Why are you so late? We've been waiting for you to eat." Wang Xiumin said as she invited him into the house to sit down.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at them and asked Wang Xiumin, "Mother, have we had guests?"
Wang Xiumin smiled meaningfully and nodded, saying, "Yes, come and sit down. This is Aunt Wang from your father's old factory, and this is her daughter, Cheng Xiang."
"This is my son, Xu Xiangyang."
The group nodded, and Xu Xiangyang greeted them.
"Aunt Wang, Comrade Cheng Xiang."
The family sat around the dining table, and Wang Xiumin busied herself preparing the meal.
Aunt Wang looked at Xu Xiangyang with a scrutinizing gaze, finding him increasingly pleasing to the eye.
He's good-looking, a college graduate, and a factory manager.
"Xiangyang is usually very busy with work," she asked with a smile.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and replied, "I am indeed quite busy. This period has been a busy time."
After saying that, he continued eating with his bowl in his hand.
Cheng Xiang, who was standing next to him, pursed her lips and looked at him shyly.
At first, she was reluctant to come over, but after seeing her in person, her heart started pounding wildly.
There's no way around it; Xu Xiangyang was naturally handsome, and having spent the last few years studying, he also had a certain artistic flair.
Wang Xiumin noticed it too, and a smile appeared on her face. "Xiangxiang, eat more. The ribs are especially fresh today."
As she spoke, she placed a piece of spare rib on Cheng Xiang's plate.
Cheng Xiang looked embarrassed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Min. You should eat too."
Xu Xiangyang ate and drank as usual during the meal, without even looking at them.
Anyway, as long as I'm full, that's all that matters.
After the meal, Cheng Xiang offered to help clean up, but Wang Xiumin refused.
The other person didn't insist, but sat down next to Xu Xiangyang and carefully watched him, then lowered their head and stared at the ground.
When Wang Xiumin saw Xu Xiangyang about to leave, she quickly stopped him.
Xu Xiangyang was very puzzled. "What are you doing, Mom? I have things to do."
Actually, he did have something to do. He had already made contact with the other side of the space, and he was going to collect the equipment tonight.
He searched for a long time and finally bought a set of second-hand production machines for over a million yuan.
This is a second-hand one; if it were new, it would cost at least several million.
However, even if you wanted to buy a new one, you couldn't, because the machines have all been discontinued.
He was also worried that the machine was too advanced and might cause trouble.
These machines were all produced in the Soviet Union, manufactured in the 1970s, and officially introduced to China in the 1980s.
These machines weren't phased out until 2000, which shows how good their machines really were.
Xu Xiangyang pulled a lot of strings and spent a lot of money to get it.
Wang Xiumin didn't care about any of that; she guessed that Xu Xiangyang already knew her purpose.
She pulled the person aside and whispered, "You better behave yourself and stay here for a while, half an hour at most!"
