Jia Youcai said as a matter of course: "Take the order and apply for a loan."
Li Huaide was stunned and said quickly: "It seems that a deposit has been paid. Isn't it enough?"
Jia Youcai smiled and said, "If we buy materials on credit, it will definitely be enough, but then the factory will have no working capital.
You can't just do one order and settle them one by one. You won't make much money that way. You have to borrow some money from the bank and look for other orders.
The military is a poor department, and if they want to make money they have to find other ways to do it."
Li Huaide, who had never been involved in business, was a little curious.
"Oh, you have other ways to make money. Why do you need to look for military orders?"
Jia Youcai said, "This is a question of credibility. You don't understand, and you don't need to understand. You can't open a factory to make money. Just do your job as a supervisor. There's no point in talking too much."
Li Huaide was choked and fell silent.
Jia Youcai started the car and drove out of the factory, then started chatting with Li Huaide.
"Old Li, how much allowance did you give me this month?" (Note: There is no cadre salary system at present; it will be in place after 1955.)
Li Huaide replied: "Not much, just enough for daily life."
Jia Youcai patiently asked, "Have you ever thought about making a quick buck without violating your revolutionary stance?"
Li Huaide immediately sat up straight and looked at Jia Youcai.
He asked uncertainly, "Do you have a solution? Is it really not against our position?"
Jia Youcai smiled and said, "Really? How about I tell you about it?"
Li Huaide didn't reply, just nodded.
Jia Youcai then expressed his opinion: "I heard that Comrade Li Huaide is living with his father-in-law."
After saying that, Jia Youcai looked at Lao Li and was about to explain something.
Jia Youcai quickly said, "Old Li, don't worry, it's nothing, I also live in my wife's house, take a look.
This car, house, and factory are all for my wife. All the children born in the future will have the same surname as my wife, Chen. So what's the problem?
Don’t worry about what others think, as long as you are comfortable.
Others may just say a few sour words behind your back, but in their hearts they are actually envious, jealous and hateful.
Those who envy your good fortune, are jealous of your good days, and hate themselves for not being able to replace you are all mean people. "
Old Li felt relieved after hearing this, and his face turned red. He finally met a close friend.
Seeing Lao Li nodding repeatedly, Jia Youcai continued, "We are both in similar situations, so let's not laugh at each other.
But this man always has to have some private money on him, right?
We have met several times, and now we are going to spend some time together. What is this? This is fate.
Last time I asked you whether you believed in fate, and you told me that the organization does not support feudal superstition.
Look, sometimes you have to believe in these things from our ancestors.
I'm going to tell you this, you may not believe it, but my family is a scholarly family, and I've learned a lot from our ancestors' I Ching and the Eight Trigrams.
Since the first time I saw you, I looked at your face.
I just know that we can't live without each other in this life.
From now on, you will be my, Jia Youcai’s beloved relative, brother, and sibling.
This will be beneficial, and I definitely won’t forget you.”
Old Li was stunned when he heard this. How can this be close friends and relatives? We are not very familiar with each other, right?
After talking for so long, why don’t you tell me the way to make money? You’re talking about useless things and it’s driving me crazy.
Jia Youcai glanced at Old Li, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and then continued, "The military uniform orders are not profitable, but those cadre uniforms and Zhongshan suits are profitable.
I know your family has some connections. If you go around to various government offices and help get some orders, you can get the money. It's easy to make money.
Instead of letting outsiders make money, it’s better for us brothers to make money. Old Li just wants you to help Red Star Garment Factory get the order.
For each set of clothes, I will give you a rebate of 5% of the total price of the clothes. If you can raise the price a little, the rebate will be higher.
If you can get an order for a thousand sets at once, you'll make a ton of money."
