Chapter 121 Give birth to an episode
Tonghe dyeing workshop
In a bright bedroom, a woman with kind eyebrows is arranging the clothes of a man with a straight back and thick eyebrows. The woman also said in her mouth:
"Master Lin is from the capital, and he came from a wealthy family."
"When you meet Young Master Lin, be careful what you say, so that Young Master Lin doesn't listen to you..."
"Brother Miao sent a special letter about Young Master Lin."
"Even if you don't want to partner with others, you have to be more tactful. After all, there is brother Miao's face in it..."
"Also, Young Master Lin is also generous. He gave away so many things. Let's just say that Fang Yantai, our father likes it very much. He said it is worth at least 10 acres of land."
The man smiled and said: "Haha, that's no trick, I just talk like this, say whatever comes to mind."
"If I think my words are not good, maybe I will just take off my shoes and rub my feet!"
"Come on you!"
The woman patted the man lightly.
The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know it well."
"Actually, if this young master Lin doesn't come, I also have the idea of going out to set up a factory. If this young master Lin is a reliable person, then I will simply partner with him."
"If we can't agree, then I'll discuss it with other people. There are a lot of wealthy people nowadays. With our skills, whoever we partner with can set up a factory!"
The man is Chen Shouting, the shopkeeper of Tonghe Dyeing Workshop, and the woman beside him is his childhood sweetheart and wife Zhou Caiqin who grew up together.
The two were talking, when a square-faced man walked in and said, "Sixth brother, it's almost time, our father told you to leave."
This man is called Zhuzi, and like Chen Shouting, he is also an orphan taken in by old shopkeeper Zhou, and now he has grown up. Although his cloth dyeing skills are not as good as Chen Shouting's, it is still a rare skill in Zhoucun.
"Okay, let's go!"
Immediately, the two of them came to the yard to meet the shopkeeper Zhou, and the three of them got out of the yard, got into a carriage, and rushed towards the best restaurant in Zhoucun—Huixianlou.
When they came to Huixian Building, the shop assistants had already seen and came forward to greet them: "Shopkeeper Zhou, Shopkeeper Chen, and Mr. Zhou, please go upstairs, Mr. Lin is waiting for you!"
"Oh, you know us?" Chen Shouting asked with great interest when he saw that the young man was unfamiliar.
The little guy had a laugh: "Of course, everyone in Zhoucuncheng doesn't know the three of you!"
"You can talk, go ahead and lead the way!" Chen Shouting laughed.
"Okay, please come inside!"
The young man had quick legs and he led the three of them upstairs and into the private room.
At this time, Lin Hongfei, Wang Zixi, Lu Xiwa and others had already been waiting here, but Wayne was not there. Lin Hongfei asked him to deal with the procurement of raw materials such as dyes and gray cloth for the printing and dyeing factory.
When the two parties met, they naturally greeted each other warmly, and at the same time looked at each other with their eyes.
"Sure enough, Chen Shouting is no ordinary person who can work his way from a little beggar begging along the street to become the shopkeeper of the largest dyeing workshop in Zhoucun!" Lin Hongfei thought to himself, which further strengthened his idea of setting up a joint factory with Chen Shouting.
And Chen Shouting was also looking at Lin Hongfei, saying that this Young Master Lin came from a wealthy family, but Chen Shouting could not feel the arrogance of a child of a noble family in him.
On the contrary, this young master Lin gave people a very casual and kind feeling.
When the two parties sat down, there was a meaningless exchange of pleasantries at first. It was nothing more than you complimenting me for being young and promising, and paying attention to etiquette, while I praised you for being highly skilled, smart and capable.
The store clerk also took advantage of this opportunity to serve Xianlou's good wine and dishes to the table one by one.
Everyone exchanged greetings, drank and ate food, and did not directly get to the point. It was not until the atmosphere became more harmonious after drinking for three rounds that the conversation turned to the matter of setting up a joint venture.
Chen Shouting was straightforward, and asked directly: "Master Lin, since you are a partner to open a dyeing factory, I would like to know whether your factory building is completed, where is the factory location, and whether the supply of raw materials is sufficient."
"Also, and most importantly, after the factory is built, how will the annual profits be divided?"
It's a straightforward temper, Lin Hongfei thought to himself, but it suits his taste very much.
Lin Hongfei smiled, and replied one by one: "The factory has already been built, and it is located in Qingcheng. As for raw materials, I have already contacted a foreign company to find raw material suppliers. The supply is not a problem."
"As for the last two things, I'll just say it straight!"
"If shopkeeper Chen agrees to partner with me, shopkeeper Chen will have full power to operate the factory in the future. As the owner, I will not interfere in any of your decisions."
"But the ugly words are up front. If I find out that shopkeeper Chen is doing something shady in private, I have the right to take back your management and management rights at any time."
Chen Shouting nodded, although the words were really unpleasant, they made sense.
However, Lin Hongfei's straightforward agreement to hand over the management of the factory to himself was somewhat beyond Chen Shouting's expectations. He looked at Lin Hongfei and couldn't help but pay more attention to it.
"As for profit sharing..."
Lin Hongfei paused:
"Between you and me, [-] to [-] percent!"
"If the business is done well in the future, we can still discuss it!"
As soon as this remark came out, Chen Shouting did not reply in time, but remained silent, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The June [-]th share is reasonable, after all, this factory building is all run by you, Young Master Lin."
"Okay, this matter, I promise!"
"However, I still have one condition. I hope to go to your factory, Young Master Lin."
"Although Brother Miao was involved in this matter, and President Xu of the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce helped build the bridge."
"But hearing is believing, seeing is believing, I have to go and see it myself!"
Hearing this, Lin Hongfei nodded: "No problem, we can leave tomorrow."
"After all, shopkeeper Chen will be in charge of this dyeing factory in the future. It is also necessary to familiarize yourself with it in advance!"
The two parties reached a preliminary verbal agreement on this, and the atmosphere of the banquet naturally became more lively. The two parties also let go of some guards and revealed some true feelings to each other.
On the second day, both parties got up early and rushed to Zhoucun Railway Station, and took the first train to Qingcheng.
When he came to the factory that Lin Hongfei bought, Chen Shouting observed very carefully, and he never ignored almost every corner. The seemingly rough and unruly person was as careful as a hair in the matter of business.
Lin Hongfei nodded slightly, it seems that he did not find the wrong person!
After inspecting the printing and dyeing factory, coupled with Xu Chengping's coordination, Chen Shouting finally made up his mind to set up a factory with Lin Hongfei.
However, when preparing to sign the agreement, another episode popped up.
