What are your plans?
Of course, they had no such plans!
But Manager Li couldn't say that out loud.
The acquisition of this porcelain kiln was decided a long time ago, and there was no need for him, a business manager, to do this. It was only because the previous person who came to negotiate the acquisition failed and was fired that the boss asked him to do this.
The reason they wanted to acquire this porcelain kiln was because they were interested in the existing kilns. All they had to do was open up the area, and it could be used directly as a factory.
There are seven or eight small porcelain kilns, each with two kilns. I bought each one outright for 50,000 yuan, which is equivalent to spending 300,000 to 400,000 yuan to buy it directly. This is much cheaper than buying a piece of land elsewhere and building a factory.
Manager Li glanced at the two kilns that were still burning. "I imagine the two kilns can only produce a small amount of porcelain. The lost wages will be calculated at five thousand, which is more than what you sell for small toys. We'll make up the difference when you sign the contract."
Shen Qingqing chimed in again: "Five thousand? Uncle, is this uncle going to give me New Year's money? I get this much New Year's money too!"
The net profit generated from the stock market on Chinese New Year's Day was money generated from her New Year's money, so how could it not be considered New Year's money?
When Manager Li heard Shen Qingqing's words, the smile on his face disappeared.
He looked at Shen Qingqing with some uncertainty, then at Li Xunjin and Li Xunli.
What kind of family is this?
Is it possible to give 5,000 yuan as New Year's money?
“Manager Li, you heard that? Five thousand yuan is our child’s New Year’s money. Our lost wages are much more than that,” Li Xunjin said, picking up where Shen Qingqing left off.
Manager Li thought to himself that this was troublesome. Before taking on this acquisition, he had only heard that the previous failures were due to the low pay. So before coming this time, he specifically discussed it with the boss and raised the price a bit.
Nobody told him that there was a family here who made so much money by firing porcelain!
Moreover, the attitude of these two people, coupled with the child who kept interrupting, suggested that they weren't the kind of villagers who could be easily fooled and made to happily sign contracts by simply raising the price.
He's just working for the boss, not looking for his own death. If the boss is looking for death, that's the boss's business; he's here to live.
What kind of ordinary person can casually give 5,000 yuan as New Year's money to such a small child? They might even be richer than their boss.
Manager Li finally dropped his subtly condescending and arrogant attitude, licked his lips, and smiled, "How shall we address you both?"
Li Xunjin smiled and said, "Like you, my surname is Li."
"Oh, Mr. Li, Ms. Li! So we share the same surname! I'm sorry, I was a bit tired from being assigned to this job that requires a lot of walking, so I spoke a little harshly. I'm so sorry!" Manager Li skillfully found an excuse for himself and then changed to an approachable tone.
Li Xunjin remained noncommittal, but Li Xunli had never seen such an opportunistic person before, and her tense expression had not yet changed.
"I understand, I understand. Come, have some tea." Li Xunjin smiled as always, but didn't bring up the previous topic, just letting things drag on like this.
Manager Li realized he had met a tough opponent, so he smiled apologetically, took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and brought up the topic again: "I didn't know the size of Mr. Li's porcelain kiln business before, and thought it was just some small toys that weren't worth much money. So, Mr. and Ms. Li, how much do you think is appropriate compensation for lost wages?"
Shen Qingqing spoke up again: "If only we could buy a porcelain kiln as big as this one..."
Manager Li's eyelids twitched, and then he heard Li Xunjin's voice.
"Let's double the price, and that'll be enough to buy a small plot of land of roughly the same size. What do you think, Manager Li?"
Manager Li remained silent. Buying out a porcelain kiln for 50,000 yuan was already the most he could afford, given his stingy boss.
Now I have to spend another 50,000 yuan as compensation for lost wages?
Manager Li felt like that lost wages.
"This amount is a bit over budget. If you two aren't in a hurry, I'll go back to the company and discuss it with my boss. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer. What do you say?"
"Of course, we'll wait for Manager Li's good news," Li Xunjin replied politely.
After the people left, Li Xunli frowned and asked, "Brother, can they offer this price?"
Li Xunjin looked at Li Xunli in surprise: "Of course it's impossible to give it. Raising the price so high is just to have some room for negotiation. Besides, ever since I finalized the transportation cooperation with President Zhang, I've been looking for a new porcelain kiln site. The number of Fuwa porcelain pieces produced will definitely increase, and there needs to be a place to store them."
"It's convenient to manage the porcelain kiln site and the warehouse site together. It's such a large piece of land, so we can make those who are pulling dirty tricks behind the scenes pay a little more. It's just that such a large piece of land is hard to find."
Li Xunjin scratched his head in annoyance.
When Shen Qingqing heard that her uncle wanted to buy a new piece of land to build a factory, she immediately said, "Uncle, have you ever thought about taking a look at the next town?"
“The next town? You mean Anlu Town?” Li Xunjin paused for a moment, then said, “There are indeed large vacant lots there. I’ve been to the site myself. The location is indeed good, remote and desolate. Even if there is still dust pollution after the factory has done a good job of pollution treatment, the impact on the surrounding environment will not be that great. But it takes more than ten minutes to drive there. If your mother rides a bicycle, it will take her half an hour to get there.”
When Shen Qingqing thought about how a large vacant lot in the neighboring town was designated as a development zone in the future, and how the town's economy developed rapidly, the housing prices in the residential area rose again and again, and some people who bought two houses at the beginning sold one of them when prices rose later, and their whole family was able to live comfortably without worry.
She knew about this great opportunity beforehand, so how could she not seize the chance?!
Before Shen Qingqing could speak, Li Xunli said, "Brother, what's there to be afraid of? I'll just treat it as training. Or, since we're not that short of money at home right now, I'll just learn to ride a motorcycle. If we need to buy one, we should!"
Shen Qingqing quickly added, "Uncle, if such a large area of wasteland can't be utilized, won't the government be worried? What if they decide to use that land for something later? Then we won't have any land to buy."
Li Xunjin, who had indeed heard rumors that there might be changes in the neighboring town, began to ponder.
“Brother, you don’t need to worry too much about me. Your company is in the next town, isn’t it? If it’s not too far, you can take me there,” Li Xunli said again.
"Maybe we'll buy a house in the next town soon! We might even buy a car, and Mom can get a driver's license so she can drive herself!" Shen Qingqing started by making grand promises.
