Chapter 343 It’s really hard to make money these days
"Since you can't make the decision, then contact someone who can. If I can take over the factory smoothly,
You can promise that your workers will continue to receive their wages, and as long as they behave well, they can continue to work in the factory."
Xu Lin did not beat around the bush and stated his bottom line directly, which surprised Deputy Director Hou.
"Really?" Deputy Director Hou stood up excitedly, "Can I ask what you will do after taking over the factory?"
"The flour processing will continue, but the main business needs to be expanded, so I hope to transform it into a food processing plant after taking over."
Xu Lin did not hide her thoughts. She thought the deputy factory director candidate was a good person, and if possible, Xu Lin wanted him to help her manage the factory.
She herself does not have the time to waste on managing the factory, so professional matters should be left to professionals.
As for whether she would be deceived, Xu Lin was not afraid. Even if the other party did something unfair to her, the worst that could happen was that she could get it back later.
Anyway, few people who wanted to take advantage of her succeeded, and in the end they were badly cheated.
After listening to Xu Lin's idea, Deputy Director Hou did not blindly support it. Instead, he tactfully pointed out that the idea was good, but sales channels were also important.
If there are no channels and the stall is too big, it is easy to drag down the factory. It is better to take it step by step.
First lay a solid foundation, then think of ways to expand the business.
He had good intentions, that is, he knew nothing about Xu Lin's abilities. What Xu Lin wanted was to find a transit station that could provide food.
She knew that food would remain a top priority for the Dragon Kingdom in the coming years.
If possible, she hopes to invest part of her earnings in food to help those who are lacking food and clothing.
So Xu Lin doesn't worry about sales issues because she will be the factory's largest buyer.
"You don't have to worry about the sales channels. In addition to the normal sales of the sales department, I have an export channel in my hands, so I don't have to worry about business."
As soon as these words came out, Deputy Factory Director Hou's eyes lit up. No worries about business, no worries about business means the factory will not go bankrupt.
Then the workers' lives will be guaranteed.
"Okay, okay, if it's really as you said, I will try my best to make it happen."
Deputy Director Hou turned around excitedly and said, "I'll call the Wei family right now."
"Go ahead and ask them to send someone who can take charge. If the deal goes well, I will sign the contract and pay you on the spot."
After Xu Lin finished speaking, she leaned back in her chair and waited for news. Her calm demeanor made Deputy Director Hou even more excited.
Soon, the deputy factory director called Wei Xuan. After Wei Xuan said hello, Xu Lin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
What a coincidence, I met him again. The last time I bought the big villa was from Wei Xuan.
After Wei Xuan sold the villa, his life became much better, but his fortunes could not be completely changed all at once.
So his business has been affected and he is trying hard to negotiate with his partners in the hope of resuming cooperation.
After receiving the call from Deputy Factory Director Hou, Wei Xuan immediately became alert. He felt that the dirty things of the Ji family would affect his luck, so he wanted to sell them all.
Since the other party came to negotiate sincerely, he would not push it away and immediately arranged a time and place.
After Deputy Director Hou hung up the phone, he said:
"Mr. Wei said he is a bit busy right now, and asked you to meet at the Golden Bridge Hotel at 6:30 pm. Is that okay with you?"
Xu Lin looked at the time. It was already past four o'clock, so it was not impossible to have dinner at half past six.
"Okay, then we'll meet at the Jinqiao Hotel." Xu Lin said as she stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
"Can you leave your phone number so I can contact you?" asked Deputy Factory Manager Hou.
Xu Lin shook her head. Her small villa didn't have a telephone and the big villa was still under renovation, so how could she have any contact information?
However, she heard that there was a type of mobile phone in Hong Kong that could be carried around, but it was very expensive.
Xu Lin guessed that this was a mobile phone. This thing was launched in 1973, and it was normal that it was popular in Hong Kong.
Compared to installing a telephone, Xu Lin thought it was a good idea to buy a mobile phone, which could be used for show and also as a weapon.
If you are unhappy with someone, it is very convenient to use your mobile phone as a brick to hit that person.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was okay. If not, Xu Lin decided to go buy one later. She had money anyway.
After seeing Xu Lin off, Deputy Director Hou felt quite uneasy and regretted not leaving with Xu Lin. He should have followed closely.
Alas, it's no use regretting now. I can only run around in circles anxiously, hoping that Xu Lin can show up at the Jinqiao Hotel on time.
Xu Lin left the factory and rode his motorcycle to the sales office. The receptionist was quite enthusiastic to see the customer.
Especially when I heard that Xu Lin wanted to buy a mobile phone, I became even more enthusiastic.
After Xu Lin selected the style, the receptionist immediately helped her to register for the network. The service was excellent.
I was even more shocked to see Xu Lin recharged her phone bill by 50,000 yuan as soon as she joined the network. Where did this fairy lady come from? She is so generous.
How could she know that Xu Lin was afraid of trouble and didn't want to come to recharge her phone bill frequently.
After finishing the work, Xu Lin took her brother away. Thinking about buying land, Xu Lin rode her motorcycle to the real estate agency.
This time Xu Lin did not look for an agent, but met their manager directly.
The manager’s surname is Xu. He might be a relative of Xu Lin five hundred years ago. His first reaction when he saw Xu Lin come in was fear.
He was afraid that Xu Lin was here to cause trouble, that they had cheated her, and he was even more afraid that Xu Lin would check out.
Once a villa is sold, you cannot return it no matter what.
"Hello, Miss Xu, welcome. This is me." Manager Xu greeted Xu Lin with a fake smile, pretending to be enthusiastic.
Xu Lin, who saw through everything, rolled her eyes silently, pretending not to notice Manager Xu's nervousness, and sat down in front of the tea table and said:
"I want to buy land to build a warehouse. Do you have any good recommendations?"
"What?" Manager Xu's expression immediately changed from pretending to be enthusiastic to genuine enthusiasm, and he was also half relieved.
As long as you are not here to check out, everything is fine.
"Which district do you want to buy land from? How big is the warehouse?" Manager Xu asked in a professional manner.
"I do have some resources I can recommend to you."
Seeing Xu Lin's puzzled look, Manager Xu cleared his throat and explained,
“Although we don’t have any land transactions here, you know, we are in this business.
I don’t know much else, but I know a lot of people. You’ve come to the right person by asking me.”
After hearing this, Xu Lin smiled and did not say whether she believed it or not. Instead, she gestured to Manager Xu to continue.
Meeting that gaze as steady as an old dog, Manager Xu felt inexplicably flustered, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he sighed to himself that it was so hard to make money these days.
These rich people are more difficult to deal with than each other.
However, no matter how hard it is to make money, he still wants to make some. Manager Xu told Xu Lin that he has a friend who is engaged in land transfer.
With a lot of supplies and a lot of information, the two of them often exchanged information together.
As for what he did with the land information, Xu Lin did not ask and Manager Xu did not explain.
