Chapter 69 Expanding the scale
In the afternoon, Lan Shu asked her eldest brother to drive her back to the county town on a tractor.
The factory has been very busy recently, and she can't leave for too long.
Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan also returned to Qingyang County.
The two came here because they wanted to spend more time with their biological daughter.
Secondly, they promised Lan Shengli and his wife that they would tell Xinya what happened as soon as possible after returning, so that Xinya could go back to the village to meet her biological parents when she was free.
Lan Weicheng and his wife were leaving, but Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang did not persuade them to stay a few more days.
What happened in the past two days was so shocking and subversive!
Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were in low spirits and really had no mood to continue entertaining guests.
So Lan Shengli thinks that if the cousin and his wife want to go back, then they should go back~
After arriving in the county seat, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan stayed in Qingyang County for another day, and then they both returned to Kyoto.
As soon as my daughter comes back, she goes to the factory and works non-stop. It's really a hindrance for them to be around her.
After their daughter promised to go to Kyoto to see them during the Chinese New Year, the two reluctantly got into the car and left Qingyang County.
After sending away her biological parents, Lan Shu barely paused and plunged into her career again.
Yesterday afternoon, Secretary Tang had already reported to her the results of searching for a suitable factory in the county in the past two days.
There is a small idle factory near the machinery factory not far from the toilet paper factory.
It was originally a warehouse used by the machinery factory to store small machinery. Later, the machinery factory built a new factory building, and the old small factory building became idle.
The idle small factory building is not in the machinery factory yard, but has its own small yard.
The factory building is spacious, about five to six hundred square meters in size, and is very suitable for use as a garment factory.
After Lan Shu saw her parents off the next day, she immediately followed Secretary Tang to see the situation.
After looking around, she also felt that this place was very suitable.
So that morning, she went directly to the person in charge of the machinery factory and offered to rent the idle factory building.
At the machinery factory, if someone wants to rent their idle factory building, they only need to go through the process.
However, recently, the efficiency of the machinery factory has become less and less than before. When the factory is short of money, it no longer values the rent.
Renting out a factory of 500 to 600 square meters can cost up to 40 to 50 yuan a month.
But the machinery factory needs more money!
The person who interacted with Lan Shu at the machinery factory was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin build and a mustache. His surname was Li and his name was Li Qiang.
Li Qiang knew that Lan Shu was the director of the toilet paper factory next door. Thinking of the benefits of the toilet paper factory that made other factories jealous, Li Qiang proposed——
"The idle warehouse next to our factory is not for rent. If Director Lan is sincere, he will sell it to you for 1,200 yuan."
Lan Shu had never thought about buying real estate before.
Although she knew that buying real estate in this era, even if it was in a county town, she would definitely make a profit without losing money.
But because her small clothing workshop had just started and she didn't have much liquidity on hand, she didn't think about buying a house, nor did she inquire about housing prices.
Now she heard that a 500-600-square-meter warehouse and factory only cost 1,200 yuan. This price was far beyond her expectation!
This is so cheap!
Then she thought about it, and probably people in this era didn't think much about the land when selling their houses.
What they are selling is a house built on land. The land does not have much value to them, and it is almost as good as a gift.
Seeing Factory Director Lan stunned, Director Li Qiang from the Machinery Factory thought his price was too high?
So he hesitated for a moment and finally quoted a minimum price——
"Director Lan, this warehouse will give you a discount of at least 150 yuan, no more!"
After Li Qiang finished speaking, Lan Shu immediately replied, "Deal!"
Li Qiang:?
He slowly made a question mark in his mind.
I just...did the quote I quoted too low?
…
In the afternoon of that day, Lan Shu signed a contract to purchase the factory building with the machinery factory.
For 1,050 yuan, I bought a factory building of nearly 600 square meters.
Moreover, when the factory was purchased, a yard of approximately 300 square meters was also given as a gift.
As for the transfer of the factory building, the process has also begun.
When she got the certificate for purchasing the factory building the next day, Lan Shu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Buying a house for her was really like picking up the slack...
…
After getting the factory building, Lan Shu's original small clothing workshop was quickly moved into the factory.
Before moving, she paid several female sewing machine workers in the clothing workshop five yuan each, and they spent half a day cleaning the dusty factory building.
On the day when all five sewing machines and fabric shelves were moved into the factory, Lan Shu bought five new sewing machines and delivered them to the factory.
With ten sewing machines, her original small clothing workshop could barely be called a small clothing factory.
Now that sewing machines are available, workers must also have them.
Xie Xiaoju had started to contact Lan Shu about recruiting workers a few days earlier, as per Lan Shu's request.
The workers recruited today came to the factory together, including five female sewing machine workers and two pattern makers with experience in clothing cutting and pattern making. The seven of them can start working on the same day.
The scale of the garment factory has expanded, and external sales must keep up.
So Lan Shu specially recruited several sales staff.
Most of them are male workers, and their main job is to develop agents for large clothing stores in various surrounding counties and shopping malls in Linjiang City outside Qingyang County.
The more agents there are, the more clothes they sell, and the scale of their factory will become larger and larger.
In order to make the clothes of her own factory famous, Lan Shu expanded the scale of the factory and also put labels on the clothes coming out of the factory.
She believes that in the future, the fame of ‘Yunshu’ clothing can be spread like a toilet paper factory and be known to everyone——
…
Kyoto, Gu family.
Five days ago, Gu, Lan, and their families discussed the engagement of Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya but failed to reach an agreement, which made Gu Cheng very dissatisfied with the elders in his family.
He had asked his parents why they and the Lan family had not set an engagement date for him and Xinya.
But the answer he got was an ambiguous word from his father, "Wait a minute."
Gu Cheng is not stupid, he knows there must be some reason for this!
Could it be that Wei Qiu Shuang disagreed?
But the Lan family doesn't have an overly prominent backing, so they have only been doing business in the past two years, and they can be considered a group of people who have made a fortune in Kyoto.
Even if he and Xinya get married, the Lan family will not become a force that helps him. He will never affect or even overshadow Gu Jue's limelight.
So Gu Cheng couldn't think of the reason why Wei Qiu Shuang disagreed!
In the past few days, his relationship with Xinya has also changed somewhat due to the unclear attitudes of the two elders.
Although the two of them still maintained their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, every time he saw Xinya looking unhappy, Gu Cheng gradually became mentally resistant to his parents' reaction.
So at noon today, he went home directly from the company and made sure to ask his parents for clarification!
