The reason why Lu Jiajie said he wanted to produce 20,000 pairs of winter shoes was that, firstly, the styles of shoes designed by Lu Jiaxin were very beautiful, and secondly, he wanted Lu Hongjun to help sell them.

Afraid that Lu Jiaxin would disagree, he said, "Xinxin, Third Uncle has a wide network of contacts. As long as our shoes are made according to your instructions, beautiful, warm and waterproof, he can help you sell the shoes quickly."

Lu Jiaxin sneered, "Do you think he will help me sell shoes?"

Lu Jiajie said confidently: "Don't worry, it will definitely happen. Although the shoes imported from Hong Kong City are beautiful in style, they are not warm enough. As long as our shoes are put on the shelves of department stores, I believe some people will grab them."

Lu Jiaxin thought he was too optimistic: "If they find out that the shoes were bought from me, it will definitely affect his work. In serious cases, he may retire early. I don't think he will take the risk to help me. He will just let me fend for myself."

Department stores have their own procedures for purchasing goods, and it is a business-to-business transaction. Buying from private individuals is against regulations.

Lu Jiajie felt that this was indeed a problem. After thinking for a while, he said, "Xinxin, I will call Uncle San now to discuss this matter with him and discuss a proper way to solve this problem."

Lu Jiaxin waved her hand and said, "As long as these shoes meet my standards, they will sell well. If you go to him, even if he is willing to help, he will use this to control me."

Lu Jiajie didn't listen to her. While she was reading in the house, he went out and called Lu Hongjun.

When Lu Hongjun received the call, he asked Lu Jiajie to take Lu Jiaxin back: "What are you doing? If business was so easy, everyone would go into business."

Lu Jiajie talked to him for a long time: "Uncle San, let me tell you, after we sign the contract with the factory, I will send you a few pairs of samples. If you think the shoes are not good enough, we can discuss it later."

The uncle and nephew talked for a long time, and Lu Jiajie felt pain when paying the phone bill.

After returning to the rental house, Lu Jiajie said to Lu Jiaxin: "Third Uncle suggested that I register a company. He also said that if the shoes we make are really as good as you said, he will help sell them."

Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything.

Lu Jiajie explained: "The department store's sales have plummeted in the past two years, and Uncle San has been under a lot of pressure. If our leather shoes sell well in the department store and the turnover goes up, he won't be under so much pressure."

Lu Jiaxin had seen through Lu Hongjun a long time ago. She chuckled and asked, "He can't be so easy to talk to. Tell me, what did you ask for?"

Lu Jiajie was a little scared by her smile, and his voice became softer unconsciously: "Xinxin, I have to go back to work in the future, and you have to go to college in the future. Uncle San said that the company can't be under the names of both of us."

Lu Jiaxin didn't care who the company was registered under, it was just an empty shell anyway. She also had no channels, otherwise she would have wanted to cooperate with people from Gangcheng, so that it would be a foreign-funded enterprise and could enjoy many preferential policies.

Although this has been criticized in later generations, it is undeniable that these preferential policies attracted a large number of port cities, islands and foreign businessmen to invest, allowing Pengcheng to develop rapidly.

Lu Jiaxin asked: "Did he say who the company is under?"

"Uncle San said he would take care of it, so we don't have to worry about it..."

Lu Jiaxin asked calmly, "Besides that, do you have any other requests?"

"What about me?"

"You are not in good health. You should go back to Sijiu City as soon as possible to recuperate."

Lu Jiaxin sneered and said, "What a good move to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron."

Lu Jiajie spoke up for Lu Hongjun: "Jiaxin, Third Uncle is also concerned about your health. Look, you've been sick twice in just a short time since you came here."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Hongjun's arrangement. After all, his starting point was for his sister's good.

Lu Jiaxin said disdainfully, "If I really go back, there will be two outcomes. First, he will ruin the deal and I will lose a lot of money. Second, the shoes will be made and I will find a channel to sell them. However, all the money will go to him. Not to mention making money, even the money from my selling of ancient paintings will go to him."

Based on her understanding of Lu Hongjun, the second possibility was more likely. She asked him for money with her palm facing up, so that Lu Hongjun could continue to act like his father.

Lu Jiajie thought she was thinking too much: "Xinxin, Third Uncle only has you as his child, and all his property will be left to you in the future, so how could he possibly take your money?"

Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin regretted asking him to come over to help, but the thought was fleeting. Her health was too poor, and she couldn't handle it without Lu Jiajie's help.

Lu Jiaxin said: "He used to say that I was the most important person in his world and that he would fight to the death with anyone who dared to touch me. But what's he like now? Ding Jing almost killed me, but he just said a few words without saying anything."

"Fifth brother, Ding Jing has bewitched him to the point that he doesn't even care about his own daughter's life or death, and he still managed to get the property easily. I don't believe a word of his lies about leaving the property to me."

"His property is earned by himself, and he can give it to anyone he wants. But he can't even think of touching a penny of my money. If he dares to touch my money, I will publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with him, and then sue him in court."

She threatened to sever ties with Lu Hongjun before, and everyone around her thought she was just saying it in anger. After all, they are father and daughter, and the matter will be over when the anger subsides. But if it is published in the newspaper, the nature is different. It is to announce to the public that the two have severed their relationship. The law does not recognize this statement, but how will Lu Hongjun's leaders view it? How will the employees laugh at him and criticize him?

Lu Jiajie didn't think so much. He thought that as Lu Jiaxin's only child, everything would definitely belong to her in the future. But after listening to Lu Jiaxin's words and thinking about Lu Hongjun's behavior in the past few years, he was not sure. After all, it was hard to predict the future if he was so partial.

After thinking for a while, Lu Jiajie said, "Xinxin, we still have to set up a company. If you are worried about your uncle, the company will be registered under my name. If I don't have that crappy job, then I will just open a stall with Xue Mao."

Xue Mao went to set up a stall during the ten days he was at home. He sold Jianbing Guozi. Because the Jianbing Guozi he made was delicious, not only did the primary school students love it, but also many parents and nearby residents came to buy it. He asked about the income, and he could earn more than ten yuan a day, and three or four hundred yuan a month, which was much better than working.

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "We don't have to register a company, we can just affiliate with it. Brother, there's no rush. Your eyes are bloodshot, go back to your room and rest, we'll talk after you've rested."

Lu Jiajie was indeed tired, but he didn't try to be stubborn and went back to his room to sleep.

Xue Mao saw Lu Jiajie leave, so he knocked on the door and went in, then said in a mosquito-like voice: "Sister, the painting is hidden in your bookcase."
