Ye Yifan parked the car on the side of the road and looked at Hua Kai: "Are you really only seventeen years old?"
Hua Kai scratched her head: "How about I go home this weekend and bring you the household registration book?"
Ye Yifan laughed: "I've always thought I was precocious, but it seems you're even more so."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "That's why we can become friends."
Gu Xiaoxue looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression: "Then why am I not as composed as you two? And yet I'm still able to become friends with you?"
"Because you're a good person." Hua Kai and Ye Yifan said in unison and then burst out laughing.
Gu Xiaoxue herself also laughed along with the two of them, looking rather silly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Yifan escorted them back to their high school and told Hua Kai to wait for him at the school gate at noon the next day.
Since Hua Kai is unsure of Ye Yifan's intentions, she hasn't told her older brother, Hua Qingyi, about it yet, thinking it would be more appropriate to tell him once she has a clearer understanding.
During evening self-study, Hua Kai drew some more blueprints for sofas and beds, thinking that if she were to discuss cooperation with someone tomorrow, these would increase her own value and wouldn't put Ye Yifan in a difficult position.
The next day at noon, Hua ran out of the school gate as soon as she got off work. Seeing Ye Yifan's car by the roadside made her feel at ease.
Ye Yifan stood by the car and saw Hua Kai open the passenger door for her: "You're usually so calm, why are you in such a hurry today?"
“With capital, you can do more, and in many industries, it’s about who starts first and establishes a brand, which makes things easier later on. So I want to gain an early advantage.” With that, Hua Kai got into the car.
Ye Yifan closed the car door, walked around to the driver's seat, and got in: "You were very prescient."
Hua Kai still had many questions: "Captain Ye, how exactly did you convince that factory manager?"
Ye Yifan smiled and said, "You'll see when we get there. There's more than one way to solve a problem, but you're probably owing me more and more. Whether I become a tycoon in the future depends on you."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee your name will be on the rich list in the future."
"I believe in your abilities, and I also believe in my judgment," Ye Yifan said.
Hua Kai looked at Ye Yifan and asked a question: "Do you think I'm materialistic because I like making money?"
Ye Yifan said very seriously, "Earning money to pay taxes to the country, and helping many people find employment during times of national change and widespread layoffs, is an honorable thing."
Hua Kai looked at Ye Yifan's profile. This guy was handsome, had progressive ideas, and was visionary. He was truly a rare find.
Before long, the car arrived near the factory where Hua Kai had come from yesterday. However, this time it wasn't the private factory that Hua Kai had visited yesterday, but the state-owned enterprise that had been contracted out to an individual.
Hua Kai was somewhat puzzled. Yesterday, she had told Ye Yifan about the complicated situation of the factory. It was currently run by two people, and if Hua Kai got involved, it would be even more difficult to divide the assets.
However, Ye Yifan must have had his reasons for bringing her, so she followed him into the factory.
At this moment, a man in his forties came out to greet her: "Boss Ye is here. I've prepared the contract. You just need to confirm it again." After saying that, he nodded to Hua Kai and greeted her.
Hua Kai was still completely confused and didn't know what was going on, so she nodded politely and said hello.
Ye Yifan said to the man, "Thank you for your cooperation, Director Zhou."
The factory manager, Mr. Zhou, said, “I also have to thank Mr. Ye for being willing to buy our factory at a high price. To be honest, it was easy to work for the government before, but when we actually contracted it ourselves, it wasn’t as good as we thought. Moreover, my partner was in poor health, so I was the one who had to bear all the burdens. Withdrawing from the company is a good thing for us.”
It was only then that Hua Kai understood. So Ye Yifan had acquired the factory? Was this guy a rich second-generation? Otherwise, he couldn't just buy a factory so easily, right? He's only been working for a few years at his age, and even if his salary was high, it wouldn't be enough to buy a factory. It seems I underestimated his abilities.
After entering the office and taking a seat, Ye Yifan looked at Hua Kai and asked, "Are you relieved now?"
Hua Kai quickly nodded, "Yes." When cooperating with Ye Yifan, she didn't need to worry about the financial relationship, after all, he was one of her own and she trusted him.
Ye Yifan looked through the contracts, then checked them with Boss Zhou, and they agreed to go to the relevant department to complete the formalities at 1:30 pm.
Although this factory is a state-owned enterprise, it was only established two years ago and doesn't have many employees. There were already layoffs when it was contracted out, and some employees have resigned voluntarily due to poor management in the past six months. So there are no personnel problems; it's just a matter of whether to keep or leave.
With everything agreed upon, Ye Yifan and Hua Kai left. Since the contract hadn't been signed yet, and it wasn't appropriate to have dinner with Factory Director Zhou, they agreed to go directly to the department handling the contract in the afternoon.
Hua Kai doesn't need to go with Ye Yifan in the afternoon, because Hua Kai has to wait until she turns 18 next year and gets her ID card before she can invest and sign a contract.
Hua Kai had thought of these things before, and she thought that if they had reached an agreement beforehand, her father could sign the contract.
However, since she is now cooperating with Ye Yifan, there is no rush. It would be better to sign the contract herself once she has her ID card, so that she can better control the development of the factory. After all, she wants to make it number one in the country, but her father knows nothing about this industry. She hopes to set up a food company for her father in the future so that he can more easily realize his ideas.
On the way back, Ye Yifan discussed some of his ideas with Huakai. The land and buildings of the factory still belong to the state, and the future depends on the country's policies. Therefore, Ye Yifan plans to buy the vacant land next year when Changzhi is stable, build a new factory, expand the scale, and try to move the main site as much as possible. This is just a temporary start-up.
To be honest, Hua Kai felt a little ashamed because she had really overlooked a lot of the policies at that time. She didn't understand many things about this era. Fortunately, Ye Yifan knew everything, so she didn't have to worry about these things.
When they arrived at the high school gate, Hua Kai handed Ye Yifan the drawings she had made the night before: "I won't let you down. I'm going to school now."
Ye Yifan took the blueprints: "Leave the rest to me. Once all the formalities are completed, we'll invite your brother and Xiaoxue over for a celebratory meal."
"Well, I won't stand on ceremony with you, bye-bye."
"Bye-Bye."
Hua Kai entered the school with her schoolbag on her back.
Ye Yifan sat in the car and looked through the drawings that Hua Kai had given him. Sometimes he really wondered if Hua Kai was really a girl who grew up in the village.
He knew that Hua Kai must have a secret, but he respected her privacy and would tell her when she was willing to.
