After Zhang Mingfang said that, Li Xunjin and Li Xunli finally remembered why the name sounded familiar to them.
Because back then, it was the two of them who decided whether or not to sell their family's porcelain kiln.
However, a lot has happened in the past year, and the unresolved acquisition of the porcelain kiln has been forgotten.
Now they have returned to everyone's memory.
Since such a connection exists, it means that the other party was not unaware of the situation when they were engaging in such underhanded tactics.
Instead, they deliberately offered higher prices behind the scenes while the villagers were negotiating the lease, causing them to back out.
The acquisition failed because several households in the village felt the offer was too low and refused to sell. The ensuing strife caused delays and ultimately led to the deal falling through.
Are they now going to find these villagers one by one and taking them down one by one?
When Shen Qingqing is thinking, her eyes tend to lose focus, and her gaze drifts into the air.
Li Xunli then told Li Xunjin everything about the contract and how the venue rental had been snatched away.
"...After talking with Aunt Huifen, Qingqing asked to see their contract, and then asked Manyu to keep an eye on things and notify us if anyone went to their house to discuss this matter."
Li Xunjin has recently finalized the car arrangements with Zhang Zeqin for next year. The previous batch of Dragon Boat Festival gifts had already been ordered and shipped. During the summer vacation, he will only be doing routine gift retail.
After listening to what Li Xunli said, he immediately said, "Then I'll go to the porcelain kiln to stay recently, and I'll also go and see how the Fuwa dolls are being made. When Aunt Huifen sends me news, I'll go with you to take a look."
Shen Qingqing patted her uncle's thigh, "Uncle, did you check the stock market today?"
Li Xunjin looked at her and said, "No, I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to check the stock market."
Shen Qingqing thought for a moment, "After we resolve this matter with Lirong Company, I'd like to talk to you about the sale."
Li Xunjin was quite surprised. The last time he checked, the stock market was doing very well. Why was it suddenly going to be sold off?
"Uncle, just trust me, I definitely won't let our family lose money!" Shen Qingqing patted her chest confidently, but ended up coughing from patting too hard.
This made the whole family laugh and quickly get her some water to soothe her.
After these matters were settled, no news was received from Chen Manyu for the next three or four days.
It seems that the company called Lirong isn't in a hurry to sign a contract with them to buy their porcelain kiln.
Li Xunli was getting impatient. She put down the porcelain doll she was working on and frowned as she asked Li Xunjin, "Brother, do you think the people at this company know that we've already talked things out with Aunt Huifen, so they're just not going to sign the contract with her and the others?"
Li Xunjin was helping to stoke the fire when he heard this and said without looking up, "Our porcelain kiln is separated from Aunt Huifen's porcelain kiln by two other kilns. They bought all the other kilns, leaving only ours and Aunt Huifen's kilns empty. They can't even connect them. What are they after?"
"So now it's a battle of patience between us."
Shen Qingqing sat leisurely next to her mother, resting her chin on her hand, playing with a porcelain Fuwa doll that had already been fired.
Her uncle was right. No one would be so indifferent to meat they already have, unless it was originally intended as bait.
Two days later, Shen Qingqing brought a pot of mung bean soup from home to the porcelain kiln for afternoon tea. As they were enjoying their bowls, the iron gate of the porcelain kiln was pushed open from the outside, and Chen Manyu's head poked in.
"Qingqing, Aunt Li, Uncle Jin, our family has come to visit!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xunjin and Li Xunli were about to leave when they saw Chen Manyu pause in his attempt to leave, then turn around, stand at the door, and ask, "What are you doing here?"
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, then immediately went over and took control of the door from Chen Manyu. When they opened it, they saw three or four people in black suits standing outside.
The person standing at the front immediately gave Li Xunli and her companion a polite smile upon seeing them: "Hello, gentlemen. Would it be convenient for us to come in and talk?"
Li Xunjin opened the door and gestured for him to enter.
When Shen Qingqing heard someone outside, she immediately moved all the things that were placed in the courtyard aside and pulled out a row of chairs.
The two groups of people took their seats.
"Gentlemen, this is my business card. Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Li, which is the same as yours. I am currently the business general manager of Lirong Porcelain Export Co., Ltd. This is our legal team."
"I'm here today to discuss the acquisition of this porcelain kiln with you two," Manager Li said with a polite smile, but his tone was somewhat self-important.
"Previously, we delayed the progress of this acquisition due to some issues, but we did not give up. However, when we wanted to resume the process, we heard that you two had restarted the porcelain kiln. Since we had some unresolved matters, we waited until now to come and see you two."
Shen Qingqing stood with her back to them behind Li Xunjin and Li Xunli, watching Shen Yangyang who was still slurping down her mung bean soup. Upon hearing these words, she made a sarcastic face and silently repeated what Manager Li had said.
Shen Yangyang happened to see her expression and was immediately amused.
Laughter broke the silence on Li Xunli's side.
"Manager Li, you look very young! You're truly a promising young man!" Li Xunjin smiled as he started brewing tea, saying, "How much are you willing to offer for the acquisition?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Li let out a soft laugh through his nose, and then said, "The purchase price is the same for everyone. It's a one-time payment of 50,000 yuan, followed by the signing of a transfer contract."
Shen Qingqing suddenly turned her face, feigning confusion, and asked, "Uncle, how much is 50,000 yuan? Can it help us buy a new porcelain kiln?"
“Silly girl, how is that possible? You can’t even buy a piece of land the size of the current porcelain kiln, and you want an existing porcelain kiln?” Li Xunli continued Shen Qingqing’s words.
“But we still need to sell things. If we don’t have a kiln, where will we make things to sell? If we sell less, we’ll earn less money! Fifty thousand yuan can’t even buy a kiln, how can you expect us to earn less?” Shen Qingqing’s seemingly naive yet domineering words made the smile on Manager Li’s face, who was sitting opposite her, less obvious.
Li Xunjin immediately laughed it off: "Manager Li, I'm sorry, my child is quite curious, and we haven't really disciplined her. We just teach her to ask questions whenever she has them. But what my child said is quite right, the 50,000 yuan was for buying the porcelain kiln. So how do you plan to compensate us for the lost work time?"
