Chapter 409 Inquiry



Of course, he certainly didn't do this alone.

But when it comes to worrying, he is indeed the first to bear the brunt.

After all, it was the first time to set up a factory, and because the place was not yet developed, some things became more difficult to handle.

Many of the machines they needed had to be specially customized. Just for this issue, he didn't know how many times he had gone to the machine factory.

Chen Xiangzhi also knew that these things were not easy to do, but he had invested too much cost in them. When he suddenly took a look at the empty factory in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But when he thought about the tedious things before setting up the factory, he could understand Jiang Huai's irritability.

After looking around, there wasn't much to see except that the place was big.

When he walked out, Jiang Huai was still saying to him, "I don't care anyway, you have to stay and do it with me this time, otherwise I will really be exhausted."

Of course, Jiang Huai has people who can help him, but he is the only one who can make the real decisions.

It would definitely be different if Chen Xiangzhi was here. He is the one who gets the biggest share. Why should I be exhausted while he is just sitting there doing nothing?

In fact, compared to several construction projects around him that were laying the foundation, he was quite fast in this regard.

Shen Xiangzhi did not object to Jiang Huai's proposal, but he felt a little guilty towards An Hongdou.

I brought them both here, but I don't have time to spend with them properly.

After thinking for a while, he said, "There is a sea in Shenzhen. When I'm not busy in a couple of days, I'll take you to the beach to have a look?"

In fact, seafood is also a specialty, but he can almost foresee how busy he will be in the future, and he doesn’t even know if he can fulfill the promise, so it’s better to say less.

After sending An Hongdou and An Changyue back, he hurriedly said that he would come back to explain to her, and then was called away by Jiang Huai again.

The two of them drove out, and before leaving, he left her the key to the yard and told her that he would probably be back late at night, so she didn't have to wait for him to eat or sleep.

It was still early in the morning. An Changyue, with a yearning for the outside world, pulled An Hongdou and said, "Aunt, if you're not tired, let's go out for a walk together. I just saw that there seemed to be conchs for sale over there, and there was a big shrimp. Let's buy a few for Dabao and the others when we go back. They will definitely like them."

An Changyue seemed very happy and was already very excited when talking about it.

But her aunt-in-law and the uncle were talking about something the whole time, and she could vaguely see how serious they were, so she didn't feel comfortable saying she wanted to go shopping.

In fact, An Changyue was very curious about this place.

"It's okay to go shopping, but we have to go find your Uncle Ergou first. He has been here for a long time and we don't know what the situation is now." A few days before An Hongdou planned to come here, Ergouzi called her and gave her an address.

Now she couldn't get in touch with him, so she could only go there according to the address.

An Changyue hadn't seen Ergouzi for a long time, so naturally he had no objection.

The aunt and niece locked the door and went out, but they were unfamiliar with the place and didn't even know where to go.

Fortunately, many locals are quite welcoming and it is not shameful to ask for directions.

The address given by Ergouzi was a little far from here. When An Hongdou just went out, she saw a place to take a bus, so she took An Changyue there.

After getting on the bus and paying 20 cents for the ticket, the bus took about half an hour to arrive. When they were about to get off the bus, the conductor reminded them, "If you need to go back, get on the bus here again, but don't be too late, there will be no bus after 5pm."

An Hongdou thanked them and pulled An Changyue out of the car.

This side is obviously more prosperous than the Jianghuai side. The streets are not very wide, but there is a lot of traffic. There are many people hawking goods on the open spaces on both sides, and the things they sell are even more varied.

An Changyue picked up a silk scarf from the stall and gestured to An Hongdou's neck, "Aunt, do you think this looks good?"

The scarf is very light and thin. Many young girls and wives on the street wear one around their necks. It must be quite popular.

An Hongdou looked very normal.

But An Changyue liked it, so she turned around and took a look, saying, "It's a rare trip out, so pick one if you like it."

As she spoke, she also picked it up and asked, "Brother, how much is this?"

It is not popular to call him boss now, and calling him comrade seems too formal, so An Hongdou just called him big brother.

The man didn't have much business. He had just sent off a group of customers. When he saw An Hongdou asking, he smiled and replied, "Sister, seven dollars a piece. Look at them. They are very nice. Just now, a lady bought four or five pieces at once. She said she would take them back to her mother's family as gifts for her sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law."

"Seven dollars a piece, my god, it's so expensive?" An Changyue was frightened and quickly put the scarf back in her hand.

She thought that the maximum amount was fifty or one dollar.

Although it looks good, it is too expensive. She only spent 20 cents on a red handkerchief, which is not much bigger!

The man was not angry, thinking that An Changyue was not the only one who said this. Instead, he explained proudly, "Little girl, you don't understand this. This scarf of mine is from the port city across the street. It is very rare and looks good when you wear it."

He didn't give any more advice.

Compared to the others, this one is a bit more expensive, but if you can't afford it, there's no point in saying more, and if you want to buy it, it doesn't matter.

An Hongdou actually picked a few and joked, "Brother, I'll take a few more and you can give me a discount."

The eldest brother had a look of cutting meat on his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's rare for two beautiful women to come to my small stall. If you can take more than five, I'll charge you six dollars a piece. How about it?"

"Five dollars. I'll take it if it's okay." An Changyue said.

"Okay, okay, you choose." The man agreed without hesitation with a wave of his hand.

An Changyue was a little anxious. She wanted to ask An Hongdou why she bought so much, after all, it was so expensive. But she was too embarrassed to ask in front of the boss, so she could only watch An Hongdou pay.

Before leaving, An Hongdou asked again: "Brother, I see a lot of people selling things on the street, aren't they all from Hong Kong?"

The man was obviously wary.

An Hongdou quickly said, "Brother, don't get me wrong. We are from other places and came here to see the sea. It seems to be much more lively here than where we are, so we just asked casually."

The man then relaxed his guard. It didn't matter what the person came for, as long as he wasn't here to steal his business, it was fine.

"There are only a few more talents in these two months. I don't know much, but most of them should be from Hong Kong City. After all, it's not easy to get goods from the mainland."

An Hongdou nodded in understanding. After all, the mainland was still in the era of bills, and it was difficult to get supplies.

After asking others about the place they were looking for, An Hongdou pulled An Changyue and continued walking forward.

There is an inconspicuous alley in the bustling street, only two steps wide. According to the address, Ergouzi should be in it.
