Han Xiao waited in the first-class building for a while, and Lu Qingyun and Ruan Xiuran arrived one after another.
The two met on the road and learned that it was Han Xiao who invited them both over. They didn't think much about it and thought maybe he just wanted to cultivate their relationship.
Lu Qingyun and Ruan Xiuran pushed open the door of the private room and came in, and saw Han Xiao, dressed in black, sitting by the window drinking tea, looking at the scene on the street below from time to time.
"Han Xiao, why did you suddenly send someone to call us over?" Lu Qingyun was not shy and sat down opposite Han Xiao.
Ruan Xiuran also sat next to Han Xiao.
"It's nothing, I just ran out of money and wanted to earn some money to spend." Han Xiao joked indifferently.
Lu Qingyun was speechless. If you, Han Xiao, had no money, it would be the biggest joke he had heard this year. Bai Tang got how much money he earned. Don’t you have any idea?
"Han Xiao, are you still short of money?" Lu Qingyun said speechlessly.
Ruan Xiuran was a little worried. He knew that Han Xiao had given all the share of the bookstore to his brother as a betrothal gift. Maybe Han Xiao was really short of money.
"How about we give you another floor in the bookstore?" Ruan Xiuran said hesitantly.
Han Xiao burst into laughter immediately. Ruan Xiuran was somewhat similar to Ruanruan in terms of her simplicity.
"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously. I'm not short of money, but I called you here today because I do have something to tell you." Han Xiao became serious.
"What?" The two said in unison. They all knew how quickly Han Xiao made money. Since Han Xiao asked them to come over today, it meant that he would give them a share of the profits.
Especially Lu Qingyun, he was almost jealous to death after hearing about the general situation of the bookstore from Ruan Xiuran.
"You'll find out in a moment, but first I want to ask you something. Is there a kiln factory in town?"
"Kiln factory?" Ruan Xiuran was a little surprised. He grew up in Qingping Town and was quite familiar with the town's industries. Speaking of a kiln factory, there actually was one.
But it has been basically abandoned, and I guess there are not many people there now.
"Yes, I need to make something and I need a place to fire a kiln."
Lu Qingyun was not very familiar with these things, so he didn't say anything and just drank his tea in silence. Anyway, Han Xiao would tell him directly if he needed him.
"Yes, there is one, but the location is a bit remote, and the kiln factory is about to go out of business." Ruan Xiuran told Han Xiao about the kiln factory.
"That doesn't matter. I just need a venue. Whether it can be sustained or not doesn't matter. I can buy it."
This time, Ruan Xiuran really didn't understand what Han Xiao was going to do. Why would he want a kiln factory that was about to be abandoned?
"It's indeed not expensive if you buy it now, but Brother Han Xiao, do you want to make porcelain?" Ruan Xiuran asked curiously.
Han Xiao shook his head: "No, as for what to do, you will know when you see it."
Han Xiao did not elaborate on the other things, but both of them trusted Han Xiao very much. Since they already knew the location of the kiln, when Xing Yi came back with the pile of stones, they had a simple lunch and then went to the kiln that Ruan Xiuran mentioned.
The place is quite some distance away from Qingping Town. It is sparsely populated and there is not even a village nearby.
When they arrived at the kiln factory, there was only a hunchbacked old man guarding the gate.
Seeing so many people suddenly coming, the old man ran out in a panic: "Are you gentlemen here to buy porcelain?"
Han Xiao walked forward and saluted the old man: "Old man, is the manager here? I need to discuss something with him."
The old man was a little disappointed when he saw that the few people had no intention of buying porcelain: "Oh, yes, follow me."
Taking Han Xiao and a few others into the kiln factory, it was just as Ruan Xiuran said. There were only a few people in the kiln factory. Most of them were lying on the ground basking in the sun. When they saw Han Xiao and a few others coming, they just raised their eyelids and turned over.
The old man took Han Xiao and the others into a studio, where a tall middle-aged man was kneading a clay model.
"Boss, someone is looking for you." said the old man.
"Okay, Uncle Wang, I'll be right there." The middle-aged man walked to the sink and washed his hands.
"What's the matter with more than just a few gentlemen?" The middle-aged man said in a cold tone.
Han Xiao bowed and saluted: "It's not just what you call me."
Seeing Han Xiao's good attitude, the middle-aged man's face warmed up a little: "Just call me Lao Liu, and tell me what you want to talk to me about."
"Brother Liu, I see that you are older than me, so I shamelessly call you brother. I have nothing else to do here today, I just want to borrow your kiln factory." Han Xiao said softly.
"Borrow a kiln factory?" Old Liu was very surprised. He initially thought that these people were here to cause trouble, or at least to buy his kiln factory. He didn't expect that they were just borrowing it.
"That's right. I wonder if Brother Liu can give me some convenience. Of course, you can ask for the cost." Han Xiao did not say his real purpose, because Lu Qingyun and Ruan Xiuran had not seen the finished glass products, and it would be too rash to suddenly buy a kiln factory.
Old Liu began to look at Han Xiao and the others carefully. Regardless of their posture and clothing, Han Xiao and the others were all outstanding men and did not look like bad people.
"Of course you can, but I'm free here anyway, so I won't charge you. You just need to pay for the supplies, and Uncle Wang can take you there." Old Liu continued to fiddle with his clay figurine.
"Thank you very much, Brother Liu." Han Xiao bowed again. This Old Liu was actually quite easy to talk to.
"Gentlemen, please follow me." After receiving the order, Uncle Wang took Han Xiao and others and walked to the next door.
Lu Qingyun quietly approached Han Xiao and said, "Hey, what on earth are you up to?"
"You'll know in two days." Han Xiao smiled mysteriously and decided not to tell the two of them for the time being. When the finished glass product is made, it will definitely surprise them.
Uncle Wang took them to an empty room. Han Xiao looked around and found that the place was quite large and well-equipped. However, there was no one there and the fire in the stove was almost out, but no one came to check on it.
Han Xiao shook his head. It seemed that this kiln factory really couldn't hold on any longer. It was no wonder that those people outside were acting so badly.
"Xing Yi, go find some people outside. They should be honest and efficient. Their wages will be paid on a daily basis." Han Xiao was not going to find outsiders, nor was it possible for him to ask two young masters to start firing the kiln.
It would be a waste to use the ready-made labor force outside.
"Yes." Xing Yi agreed and walked out.
Lu Qingyun and Ruan Xiuran are both arrogant young men who are completely unfamiliar with the kiln factory. They came here today just to see what Han Xiao is doing, so they just looked around here.
After a while, Xing Yi came over with five people. When they saw Han Xiao, they looked at him uneasily.
Han Xiao didn't say much and asked them to start the furnace first. The technical content of firing glass is not high, but the temperature requirement is relatively high.
So this time Han Xiao decided to try it himself, since there were plenty of stones anyway.
