Chapter 242

The stall next to him was very busy.

Qin Xiang stood there for a while but didn't find a chance to ask about the situation.

Just as he was about to leave, the boss of the stall next to him said, "Are you looking for Guan Zhibin?"

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, but he has something to do today?"

The other party shook his head and said, "No, he closed the shop and became his own boss."

"Became his own boss?" Qin Xiang was curious. He didn't make any noise at all and became his own boss without making any noise.

The elder sister was busy looking for goods for the customer while saying, "His cousin is capable, he opened a factory himself. I forgot where it is. You can go to his house to ask."

Qin Xiang arrived at Xie and took people to Guan Zhibin's house. His wife was at home and recognized Qin Xiang. When she saw Qin Xiang, she was stunned. "Boss Qin."

Qin Xiang said politely, "Sister-in-law, just call me Xiao Qin. I didn't find you at the stall, so I found you here. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."

"It's not a trouble. Come in."

Qin Xiang saw that Niu Rong's belly was big, and she was surprised, "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"

"Yes. More than five months." Niu Rong touched her belly habitually, Let them in, "You came at the right time, he went out to buy something for me, and will be back soon."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Guan Zhibin came back.

Guan Zhibin was stunned when he saw Qin Xiang, "Qin Xiang, why are you here?"

Qin Xiang smiled, "I came to wish you a happy new year."

Guan Zhibin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I don't believe it, I must be here by chance."

Qin Xiang spread her hands, "There's no way, I can't lie anymore."

Both of them laughed, Niu Rong stood up, "I'll go cook some dishes, you two can have a good chat."

Guan Zhibin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, call the restaurant downstairs to make a table and send it up."

Looking at the two of them getting along, Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing. Guan Zhibin got married when he was over 30 years old, and he loved Niu Rong very much.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but wonder, would it feel different to marry someone she loves?

However, when she thought of marriage, she could easily think of her past with Wang Junsheng, so she couldn't help but shudder, and decided to forget it.

Niu Rong went downstairs to order food, and He Liping hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

When Niu Rong was no longer visible, Guan Zhibin said, "Are you here to place an order with Yimei?"

Qin Xiang laughed, "You can't hide anything from you."

After completing the last batch of deliveries with Guan Zhihong's original factory, Qin Xiang stopped placing orders. When the factory manager Liu who came later saw that Qin Xiang really didn't place an order, he panicked and used all kinds of connections to find Qin Xiang in the hope of continuing the cooperation.

But at that time, Qin Xiang had already cooperated with Wu Gang, and the cooperation was also pleasant, so he directly rejected it.

Factory Director Liu was still unwilling to give up and wanted to talk to Guan Zhibin about it, but Guan Zhibin would never respond, and the matter was never resolved.

Qin Xiang asked, "I heard that you also opened a factory and became the boss? Or a clothing factory? Do you want to cooperate?"

Guan Zhibin waved his hand and said, "I am just a small business, taking on some OEM work, just starting out. When I succeed, I will definitely cooperate with you. Don't think my temple is too small."

"That's definitely not possible." Qin Xiang still trusted Guan Zhibin, and immediately said, "Contact me when you can get started."

An hour later, the food was served downstairs. Qin Xiang stopped drinking, and Mi Hongjun accompanied Guan Zhibin to drink a few glasses. Talking about the development of the past two years, Guan Zhibin said, "I saw that you all worked hard and thought about your own business. I originally wanted to let Rongrong take care of the stall business, but it was too tiring, and she was pregnant again. It was so hard, so I thought about it and gave up. Although my small workshop is not big, everything is difficult at the beginning, but I believe it will get better and better."

Qin Xiang agreed, "With your character, you can't fail."

Besides, Guan Zhibin has someone above him, so how can Guan Zhihong ignore his cousin? Just introducing someone to him is enough for Guan Zhibin to make a fortune.

This is something that everyone knows.

After finishing the meal, Qin Xiang and the others helped to clean up, and then followed Guan Zhibin to take a look at the small workshop he mentioned. Qin Xiang was envious.

It didn't cover a large area, and there were few factory buildings. There were only a dozen sewing machines, which were quite simple, but Qin Xiang's heart was also excited.

She didn't know if the money she earned in Gangcheng was enough to buy land, and she also wanted to give it a try.

After the tour, Qin Xiang was about to leave. School would start in two days, and Qin Xiang had to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou for a tour, and then she would go to school again.

Suzhou and Hangzhou are located in the south, with a more relaxed business environment. Although there are many more shops than in the north, the flow of people is also greater. The brand "Xianglian" has been advertised on the national TV station and is still being broadcast. The brand effect is also large. So the business is not bad.

Qin Xiang listened to Liu Xiaocao talking about the situation here, and it was simply impossible to connect with the little girl who couldn't speak Mandarin when she first arrived in the capital. With

such a smart look, Qin Xiang didn't have to worry at all.

Check the accounts, count the inventory, and instruct them to clear the inventory quickly, then go to Suzhou to take a look, and then go to the silk factory for OEM to meet the leader, and then prepare to go back.

Originally, she wanted to meet Master Sun and recruit him to her side, but unfortunately, the old man had said at the beginning that he didn't want to be tired and it would be ok to make some extra money occasionally. So she didn't go again.

It was the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when she took a plane back to the capital.

After getting off the plane, she saw Meng Huaiqing in a black coat at the exit.

Qin Xiang stepped forward and Meng Huaiqing hugged her, "Long time no see."

Only then did Qin Xiang realize that they had been separated since the beginning of the year, and it had been more than ten days.

Qin Xiang leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed, "I'm so tired."

Although the plane is the fastest means of transportation, it is still very tiring to rotate continuously.

Meng Huaiqing touched her head, held her hand and said, "Let's go, take a nap in the car."

When they arrived at the parking lot, Qin Xiang saw Meng Huaiqing driving two cars. Needless to say, Mi Hongjun and the other two got into the back car very consciously, while Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing got into the front car.

Miao Sheng was driving the car, and he nodded to Qin Xiang through the mirror, and then the barrier between the front and back seats was lowered.

Meng Huaiqing said, "Lean on me and sleep for a while."

Qin Xiang was not polite either, and she closed her eyes on his shoulder, and they were closed after a while.

Meng Huaiqing looked at the faint blue in her eyes and couldn't help sighing.

He liked Qin Xiang's fighting spirit, but when he saw how tired she was, he felt bad, and thought in his heart, why couldn't she learn to rely on men like other women?

But he was soon frightened by his own thoughts.

Isn't the reason why he likes Qin Xiang because of Qin Xiang's fighting spirit and her unwillingness to admit defeat?

If one day Qin Xiang doesn't want to fight anymore, and really waits for him to come back home like other women, sticking to him and relying on him. He might feel happy at the beginning, but after a long time, will he still like her as much as he does now?

I'm afraid not.

He and Qin Xiang are actually the same person in their bones, and neither of them can bear the daily life of sticking together.

Meng Huaiqing couldn't help but sigh, if that's the case, then so be it.

The two leaned against each other, very quiet.

When Qin Xiang woke up, he was already lying on the bed.

Meng Huaiqing just straightened up and smiled, "You woke up because you knew I brought you back?"

Qin Xiang hummed, "Yes, enjoy Mr. Meng's embrace and test Mr. Meng's arm strength."

"You can try more." Meng Huaiqing smiled and looked outside, "Since you're awake, get up, eat and then go to sleep."

It was actually very late at this time, and Qin Xiang was hungry. He got up and ate some food, then leaned on the sofa and talked to Meng Huaiqing about Guan Zhibin.

Meng Huaiqing listened quietly, and after a while he said, "Do you want to open a factory?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, this is also the reason why I traded stocks when I was in Hong Kong. If I didn't want to open a factory, I probably wouldn't touch this thing."

Meng Huaiqing didn't comment, "If you need help, just let me know."

"Of course." Qin Xiang said, "I want you to help me find some land for auction. I want to buy it. It doesn't matter how big it is, two mu or three mu, just build it first."

After she finished speaking, Meng Huaiqing shook her head and reminded her, "Qin Xiang, you have to understand that there is no land auction in the mainland now. Even the land I am building is jointly constructed with the government. Most of the factory land belongs to the state. If you want to build a factory, you have to consider this point. You can't buy it now. You can adopt the same model as me."

Qin Xiang hesitated, "But what if we are doing well and suddenly someone doesn't like it and wants to take it back?"

"That depends on what the lease agreement says."

Qin Xiang raised his eyebrows, "How did you write it?"

"Wait." Meng Huaiqing got up and went to the study to get a folder. "Take

a look at this. You will understand after you read it." Qin Xiang was suspicious. He opened it and couldn't help laughing. "What's the difference between this and auctioning it?"

Although it is a lease, the lease term is 70 years. After 70 years, the property rights of the house will expire. In order to avoid a series of troubles, it is also written on it that if the house needs to be retained after 70 years, the owner needs to pay a certain fee. How much this fee is depends on how the country collects it.

Qin Xiang realized it later and took out the previous house purchase contract to take a look. It really clearly stated this point.

Qin Xiang looked at him and said, "You are really a thief."

"This was not proposed by me." Meng Huaiqing did not want to be called a chicken thief, so he explained himself, "This was proposed by the municipal government. The government has land but lacks money. I proposed to auction it, but it was not passed because it has never been implemented. The person who proposed this idea was Director Cui. His proposal was recognized by the government. I provide the money, they provide the land, and the profits from the sale are divided equally."

Qin Xiang added, "But you saved the money from the auction of the land, so you did not suffer a loss."

Meng Huaiqing nodded, "The same goes for yours. The capital needs to develop rapidly now, and many problems have arisen in the process of development. Many state-owned factories are on the decline. In the next few years, there may be many unemployed workers. You build factories and can solve the work problems..."

He paused, "You might as well Directly take over a state-owned factory and change it into a private one. If it is a clothing factory, it would be best if the workers can be taken over directly. "

Qin Xiang shook his head, "I have thought about this. The reason why state-owned factories are going downhill is that the factories are inflexible and do not follow the situation. The second is that there are big problems with management. The third is that the quality of employees is uneven. Some families even have a whole family working in a factory. Once something happens, such people will form a group, making it difficult to implement the factory's policies. I would rather spend more time and money to build a small workshop and recruit reliable workers myself, rather than take over a rotten stall. I don't have that much time."

Hearing this, Meng Huaiqing understood, "Then the only way is to cooperate with the government."

But there are also disadvantages to doing this. Being in the clothing industry is different from building houses. Building commercial housing is almost a one-shot deal. Just build and sell. There is no such group as property management, and there is no need to worry about the quality of the housing.

But the clothing industry is a long-term development process. If the country gets involved, will their people be needed to manage it?

Qin Xiang pondered for a while and said, "If you want to cooperate with the government, you must write it clearly. The government only takes profit distribution and is not allowed to interfere in other matters."

Meng Huaiqing agreed, "That's the truth. If you are interested, I can take you to talk to Director Cui. He is a great leader."

"What about the address? The city is definitely not an option. The city is developing rapidly, and the factory may have to relocate before long."

Meng Huaiqing smiled, "A ready-made place."

Qin Xiang was stunned and understood, "You mean the suburbs close to the commercial housing?"

"Yes, the price in the north is more expensive because it is closer to the capital. The south is a little farther away, but it is also more open. The city will not develop there in a short time. If I develop further, I will follow the north, so as not to delay your later expansion."

Qin Xiang was amused. "Are we considered to be wolves and monkeys colluding with each other?"

Meng Huaiqing helplessly raised his forehead. "We are just discussing it briefly. How come it becomes wolves and monkeys colluding with each other in your mouth? Shouldn't you review your thoughts?" "

No, I think my thoughts are good." Qin Xiang stood up and packed up his things. "Then, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Meng."

Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows. "No sincerity."

Qin Xiang pouted. This man is only this much.

But men and women are the same. I really miss him after not seeing him for such a long time.

Take a shower, play poker, and do some adult aerobic exercise.

The next day is the 16th day of the first lunar month, and school has started for all

schools, whether college, middle school, high school, or elementary school. Qin Xiang was sent to school by Meng Huaiqing early in the morning to start the new semester.

After not seeing each other for a holiday, classmates in the same major seemed to have changed.

Of course, if you want to say who is the most lively, it must be Qin Xiang.

During the holiday, when everyone has nothing to do, they design clothes at home, and as soon as school starts, they rush to find Qin Xiang to submit their design drafts. As long as they are selected, they will get money.

Worried that Qin Xiang would get confused, everyone put them in brown paper bags and wrote their names on them.

So Qin Xiang collected a pile of information bags before the first class was over.

Guan Yuping and others helped to carry the things back and said, "You are going to make a fortune."

Qin Xiang laughed, "Are you jealous? I envy you for painting too."

She just said it casually, but Guan Yuping actually took out a few of them and said, "These are mine."

Qin Xiang was happy, "Okay, I'll see yours first."

In addition to this matter at the beginning of the school, everyone also asked Qin Xiang and others about the things in Gangcheng. For example, Jiang Mingteng stayed there for three days and could not talk much, so everyone asked Zhao Wenna. As for Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang was busy and left after class, so they could not easily catch her.

So Zhao Wenna was surrounded and talked about again and again.

Later, the school leaders found out and simply held a design professional seminar and asked Qin Xiang and the other three to talk about Gangcheng.

This has attracted the attention of students majoring in design, who all want to go to Hong Kong to have a look.

Professor Sun is helpless, "Sometimes we can't blame them for not designing something outstanding, it's just that their vision is limited, thanks to Qin Xiang who brings some fashion magazines from Hong Kong from time to time, as well as foreign newspapers and periodicals, otherwise their vision

would be even narrower." Although Qin Xiang repeatedly emphasized that it was for the sake of receiving good manuscripts, as long as you have money, you can buy good designs. If a school can't receive so many, you can go to other schools, but Qin Xiang gave more opportunities to Tsinghua University. Just this point is enough for Professor Sun to look up to him.

However, Qin Xiang is not as noble as he said. In business, it is also for long-term interests. College students are so popular these days, especially those from Tsinghua University. They are talents when they go out, and they have many ways to leave a good impression on people.

However, the classmates that Qin Xiang knew at the Yamato Academy of Fine Arts in the capital could not be let go. A few days after the start of school, Qin Xiang found time to treat them to a meal with Zhao Wenna, and collected some manuscripts by the way.

Then he worked overtime to select them, cooperated with Professor Sun, asked him to help revise them, and then sent them to two factories to start production.

The fashion exhibition on March 15th had been spread through various channels, and Qin Xiang naturally signed up early. Xiang Yanghong and Yi Mei also signed up. What clothes to bring to the exhibition has become a problem that each factory needs to consider.

Qin Xiang was so busy that she didn't have much time to stay in school even though she received a scholarship. She left after class and was not seen on weekends. Sometimes she had to go to Ningcheng or Yangcheng on both weekends.

It was really tiring, but the results were good. Before that, Qin Xiang also asked all branches to quickly promote some winter inventory to free up space and raise funds to prepare for the large-scale sales of new products.

At this time, Meng Huaiqing also brought her good news. The land she wanted before was settled.

Qin Xiang was immediately excited.

She had come to see the place with Meng Huaiqing before. As long as the government was willing to cooperate with her, she could build a factory with the money she had. She could buy the subsequent capital and equipment with a loan or make money while buying. In short, she had to have a place so that she would have more things to say at the trade fair. It was much better to have her own factory than just OEM.

After deciding on the place, Qin Xiang went to meet with Director Cui, who took her to meet the deputy mayor. The deputy mayor was very interested in this development model and talked a little more.

However, the application did not say whether it was OK or not, but directly asked her, "Xiao Qin, I am very optimistic about you. You and Mr. Meng are both people with ideas. I think the plan you proposed is also good, but before that, I want to discuss another cooperation with you."
