After Xue Mao followed Lu Jiajie here, he has been cooking three meals a day. Now that Xiao Qiu is here, he also goes out with Lu Jiajie.
Lu Jiajie was responsible for purchasing and communicating with several leather factories and OEM factories. The four people he brought, Ah Sheng, Ah Le and Sha Xiangyang, were assigned to three shoe OEM factories respectively. One was to monitor the progress and the other was to ensure the quality. Master Jia was responsible for inspecting the raw materials. He had more than 30 years of experience in the shoe factory. He could identify the quality of leather and velvet at a glance. He could tell whether the leather was real or fake by just touching it. The subsequent shoe inspection was also handed over to him. This job was not tiring, but it required experienced and upright people. As for Lu Jiazong, he moved in after renting the warehouse and was responsible for guarding the warehouse in the future.
Lu Jiajie took out six styles of shoes, and he liked the pointed-toe thick-heeled cowhide double-breasted side-zipper winter boots the most. This pair of shoes is simple, generous and fashionable, and will definitely be sought after by young women.
He said excitedly: "Xinxin, these shoes are really nice, they are no worse than the batch of shoes the department store bought last year."
Of course, leather shoes are not only good-looking, but also of high quality. Because of the high requirements, the processing fee is 15% higher than that of other companies.
Lu Jiaxin initially designed a metal double-breasted design, which would have looked better, but it would have increased the purchase price and taken more time because of the extra process. In order to save costs, she had to give it up reluctantly.
Lu Jiajie said, "Jiaxin, I will bring four pairs of each style back to the city. When the dealers see them, they will definitely rush to pay the deposit."
Lu Jiaxin checked the six pairs of shoes, and after making sure that there was no quality problem, she went to the telephone office to call Su Heming.
I didn't want to call, but the person who answered the phone said that Su Heming had gone to Yangcheng more than a month ago: "Miss Lu, last month Brother Heming called me and left a number saying that if you want to find her, call this number. Wait a minute, I'll look for her."
After a while, the other party reported a phone number.
Lu Jiaxin wrote down the phone number and found out that it was from Pengcheng. She thought of something and asked Gu Wenfeng who came with her: "I remember you said you saw Su Heming's father and elder brother at the Swan Hotel. They were also staying in the hotel at the time."
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Lu Jiaxin said that Su Heming had also come here some time ago: "They haven't been back to Sijiu City for such a long time, and when they came back, they also called Su Heming over. I think they should be preparing to open a factory in Pengcheng."
Pengcheng is closer to the port city, and opening a factory there and selling goods to the port city can save transportation costs. Thinking that Grandpa Su and Uncle Su are in the port city, he thinks the scale of this investment should be not small.
The call was quickly connected. Lu Jiaxin said, "I'm looking for Su Heming."
I was just trying to give it a try, but I didn't expect to hear Su Heming's hearty laughter on the other end of the phone: "Sister Jiaxin, you finally remembered me."
When the two chatted, Lu Jiaxin found out that Su Heming was called here not long after she went to the ancient capital. Later, she learned from Mrs. Xie that she had also come to Pengcheng. She wanted to find her, but unfortunately she didn't know the address or the phone number. Mrs. Xie didn't say anything, so she had no choice but to wait.
Lu Jiaxin asked: "What kind of factory do you run?"
Hearing that the Su family opened an electronics factory and planned to produce televisions and radios, Su Heming said: "My eldest brother said that the domestic demand for home appliances will be huge in the future, and there is a lot of money to be made in this field. However, my uncle felt that the mainland was backward and the people could not afford home appliances, so it would definitely lose money if we opened it. My father and eldest brother stayed there for more than three months before my grandfather finally agreed to invest money."
Lu Jiaxin felt that Su He's elder brother had great vision. In the 1980s and 1990s, electronic products were sold all over the country, and those who worked in this industry made a lot of money.
Su Heming exclaimed, "How is that possible? My grandfather has four sons. In addition to my uncle and my father, Lai Hong also had two children with his concubine! The company will be registered under his name. When the money is made in the future, everyone will share it. Aren't we working for them?"
I have found a job and have made great progress.
Lu Jiaxin asked, "The cost of a TV production line is not small. Your grandfather is quite generous to spend so much money to open your factory."
Su Heming sneered and said, "What generosity? My grandfather offered three million. Although he didn't ask for shares, he said it was just this once. If he ran out of money, he would give us more."
"My grandfather's assets total hundreds of millions, and we have no share of them."
"Is the three million Hong Kong dollars or Chinese dollars?" Lu Jiaxin asked. The exchange rate between Chinese dollars and Hong Kong dollars is now 1:3, so the amount of Hong Kong dollars to be paid is too little.
Su Heming smiled and said, "Of course it's Chinese currency. If it's Hong Kong dollars, three million Hong Kong dollars would only be equivalent to one million Chinese dollars. That would be a big loss!"
"Then your grandfather is pretty good to you." Lu Jiaxin said. Not to mention the mainland, anyone with a fortune of nine million in Hong Kong is considered rich.
Su Heming snorted coldly and said, "What generosity? He feels guilty. He took his eldest son to Hong Kong City and left my grandmother and the others to care. My grandmother worked too hard to raise three children and was often bullied. She died in her forties. My eldest aunt was killed by a beast at her blooming age, and my youngest aunt has been sick all these years."
"Where's your dad?"
Su Heming said: "My dad was often bullied when he was young, and he was very short because he did heavy physical work since he was young. My grandma and my dad suffered a lot in the mainland, while he not only had a good life in Hong Kong, but also had many concubines."
Because he hated Grandpa Su, he was unwilling to go to Gangcheng. Su Heming said that there was no need to recognize his relatives. The old man abandoned them in the first place, which showed that he didn't care about their life or death. What's the point of recognizing such a cold-blooded elder? But his brother Su Heyuan had a different idea. He wanted to open an electronics factory but had no funds. He must seize such a good opportunity. As it turned out, he was indeed successful, and now the factory has started construction.
Lu Jiaxin asked, "What does your grandfather do?"
"My family used to run a textile factory, and we continued to do our old business when we moved to Hong Kong. He saw that making plastic flowers was profitable, so he opened a factory too. But my dad said that the old man made a lot of money buying stocks, and now he has tens of millions in cash on hand."
It was also because they heard that Mr. Su was rich that Su's father and Su Heyuan traveled thousands of miles to Hong Kong to recognize their relatives. After getting the money, Su's father stayed in Hong Kong to continue to be a filial son, while Su Heyuan returned to the mainland to open a factory and work hard.
Lu Jiaxin felt that Su Heyuan's approach was correct. When you are weak, you have to bow your head. It won't be too late to turn against him when you have made money and have the capital. If they don't recognize their relationship now, they will be the ones who suffer.
