Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Li Huaide has been with Pengcheng for so long that he knows the prices more or less, but he couldn't get an electronic watch before. Now that he has the relationship with Lou Xiaoe, he didn't think about it for a while.

"Electronic watches only cost a few dollars to buy in Hong Kong Island, but they are sold for dozens of dollars down there. Some places sell them for more than 100 yuan. I don't need to buy more. I make a lot of money by running back and forth a few times."

Zhong Shan shook his head.

"Old Li, now that we are doing small business, we can find Lou Xiaoe, but once we have a lot of stuff and the profits are big, we can't just let it go."

Li Huaide naturally knew that he had not been working as the factory director for nothing all these years. When it came to human relations, Li Huaide was the leader.

"That's what we should do, but even if we give her a portion of the profits, it's enough for us to earn."

Zhong Shan did not respond, but thought of the thing he had been thinking about.

"Old Li, do you still want to be your Director Li?"

Li Huaide was stunned when he heard this, Factory Director?

For Li Huaide, although he makes money much faster by doing business outside than when he was a factory manager, he still likes the feeling of being in power.

After all, in the past, others would ask him to do things for them, but now that he is doing business, the situation is reversed. For a little business, he has to ask people for help everywhere.

Now Zhong Shan asked him if he still wanted to be the factory director, and of course he did.

For Li Huaide, if he had a choice, he would rather not make the money and continue to be the factory manager, but he can't go back.

Zhong Shan saw that Li Huaide didn't say anything for a long time and his expression was a little strange. He had no idea that Li Huaide was thinking so much.

Zhong Shan has a rather indifferent personality and doesn't really like being an official, so he can't understand Li Huaide's feelings.

"Old Li, you have been in Pengcheng for so long, there must be a lot of factories there. The Lou family is from Hong Kong Island now, so there is policy support for them to come back and start a factory. Besides, some equipment is hard to get here, but it is much easier there."

Li Huaide had heard something, but the Lou family...

I spent the first half of my life as the director of Lou's steel rolling mill, although it was later nationalized.

Do you still want to work in the Lou family’s factory now?

"Zhong, what do you mean? Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me straight out."

Zhong Shan tapped the table with his hand. This was an idea that Zhong Shan had just come up with after Lou Xiaoe came back recently.

"Old Li, what do you think? How about we form a joint venture with Lou Xiao'e and build a clothing factory in Pengcheng under the name of Hong Kong businessmen? The manpower and material resources here are cheap, and Pengcheng is close to Hong Kong Island. The clothing styles can be copied from the popular styles in Hong Kong Island.

We can also open a store in Hong Kong Island to sell our clothes. We can also open one in the city. There are so many dealers in other areas, and we can also wholesale to them. It should be more profitable than now."

After hearing Zhong Shan's words, Li Huaide was also thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

If we really want to do it, it will definitely not be as simple as Zhong Shan said. Just the later sales and opening of the store and transportation cannot be accomplished in just a few words.

But these are all minor problems and can be solved. Money will not fly into your hands by itself. The problem now is the Lou family.

"Brother, although the idea is good, will the Lou family cooperate with us? They can do it themselves, why should they bring us along?"

After hearing this, Zhong Shan knew that Li Huaide's concerns were justified. He could only say that he did not understand Lou Xiao'e and was completely frightened by the Lou family in Lou Bancheng.

"Old Li, the Lou family is not all Lou Bancheng. Lou Bancheng is gone. The two sons are now in charge of the Lou family. Both of them focus on Hong Kong Island. It is not them that we want to cooperate with, and Lou Bancheng's daughter, Lou Xiao'e."

Li Huaide was not very familiar with Lou Xiao'e, he just knew the name, so Zhong Shan could only introduce Lou Xiao'e again.

"Lou Xiao'e has lived in our courtyard for many years. Although I was not very familiar with her before, I still know her personality. To be honest, she is a bit soft-hearted and not suitable for doing business. Her two brothers are not much better than her.

After all, when they were young, the situation here was the strictest and there was no business to do. The Lou family was at the center of the storm and they didn't even have time to hide, let alone learn how to do business. So they developed the temperament of young masters and young ladies, and they developed in Hong Kong Island entirely relying on Lou Bancheng.

This time Lou Xiao'e is going to return to the mainland to develop. With her personality, it's no problem for her to open a restaurant or something, after all, her family is rich. But it's a bit difficult for her to start a factory, as she doesn't have the courage or the means, and this is exactly your advantage."

After hearing Zhong Shan's introduction, Li Huaide thought more and more that it was feasible. He had the means to manage a garment factory in Pengcheng. The Lou family had a background in Hong Kong Island, so they could set up a factory in the mainland in the name of Hong Kong businessmen and solve problems with machinery and technology.

"It's feasible, but we have a good discussion here. Will Lou Xiao'e agree?"

Zhong Shan had no such worries.

"Why not agree? Looking at the profitable business, even if she doesn't want to run the factory, we can just use her name and give her some shares."

Li Huaide stopped talking and thought about the feasibility.

A long time passed.

"Done. As for Lou Xiao'e, you should take the opportunity to find out the truth."

Zhong Shan nodded.

"Now you should see what has the highest profit. You should make more trips and earn more money. Then you can have more shares. We can't let you work for the Lou family anymore."

In the following period of time, Li Huaide frequently traveled between Beijing, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong Island.

Of course, there is no formal channel to go to Hong Kong Island.

But in order to make money, there is no other way.

Through Lou Xiao'e's introduction, I contacted an electronics factory there and purchased a batch of electronic watches for a few dollars.

Of course, we don’t just sell electronic watches, we also sell sunglasses and tapes.

In short, sell whatever can make money. After Lou Xiao'e finished her business in Hong Kong Island, she brought her little daughter back to Beijing. Her son was already grown up and had to go to school there and could not come back, while her daughter was young and could fully receive education in the mainland.

There was no objection from the Lou family to Lou Xiao'e taking the children back to the mainland.

After all, Beijing is their home and the place where they grew up.

The Lou family has not had a very happy life in Hong Kong Island over the years.

Although the Lou family was rich and Lou Bancheng had means, they were refugees from the mainland after all, and the circle they met there excluded them from within.
