Chapter 232 An unexpected incident
Yang Shixiang was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. Going to Jiangnan to open a store was something that even my ancestors did not dare to think about when they were in their prime. Not to mention that my family has no connections in Jiangnan, but the competition in the industry alone: there are so many time-honored shops in Jiangnan, each of them has secret elixir pills that have been passed down for many years, and they have strong funds. Although Liu San's several achievements have brought a steady stream of profits to Runshitang, he really doesn't have the courage to go into this muddy water.
Seeing his adopted brother's hesitation, Liu San emboldened him and said: "Brother, with us supporting you, what are you afraid of? We are still the same people: we only sell vegetables but not raw materials, and the local bigwigs are not that big." There’s something involved.”
Runshitang's factory project in Bairenkai District was suspended for several months due to the war. After the Chengmai victory, the project was resumed. Various special equipment manufactured by the machinery factory have been basically installed and are undergoing commissioning and trial production. Once completed, the output of Runshitang Factory will be 20 to 30 times higher than the current manual manufacturing. Such a terrifying expected output made Yang Shixiang hesitate - the terrifying monster of the capital chain seemed to have arrived in front of him.
Huge production capacity means that a large amount of money is needed to pay for raw materials, a large amount of freight needs to be paid to transport goods to various places for sale, and a large amount of inventory needs to be stored in the store... If there is a problem in this link, you will be catastrophic - this is not like doing business with your cousin now, and the sales can only last two or three cities. Yang Shixiang was very ambitious when he was down and out, but now he has become a little timid after becoming a rich man.
At the wine table, Li Mei had already offered to arrange for help in obtaining a loan. Wu Di and Li Mei from Delong Bank's Credit Department reached an agreement on a loan intermediary. The Ministry of Commerce and the Dongshi Management Office would select and recommend high-quality customers who could lend money.
Yang Shixiang was a little hesitant, because the construction of the Runshitang Factory itself already owed the Australians a loan: the purchase of land, machinery and equipment, and construction costs. It was agreed that the loan would be secured by the factory itself, with an annual interest rate of 1.7 cents. Now that we need to expand our business, we need to take out another loan - which means we can only use Runshitang's own property as collateral. This made him somewhat uneasy.
Li Mei understood what he meant, and said slowly: "Don't be too anxious. We will do it step by step. Isn't Runshitang half as good as your brother? Your brother is a senator, and our Senate The senators are just like brothers and sisters. If you have any difficulties, the Senate will definitely help..."
It was easy to talk over the wine table, and the three of them took turns. Yang Shixiang finally agreed to the business expansion plan of the elders who fully cooperated. However, he already felt a little overwhelmed by such a complicated business plan. He complained to Liu San that he felt a headache when he thought about how to manage operations when the situation got bigger in the future. He hoped that Liu San could personally become the boss of Runshitang and help him share his worries. He was willing to give Liu San a few more shares.
Liu San thought that it would be useless no matter how much you give me - these are all state-owned assets - and let alone the Organization Department disagreeing with him to go to the enterprise, even he himself did not want to give up his position in the Ministry of Health. He declined immediately and politely, but then he seized the opportunity and persuaded Yang Shixiang to send his young servant to Fangcaodi to attend a short-term training course. This kind of training class specializes in teaching practical skills, including accounting, business management, agricultural technology, etc. Illiterate natives must first attend a C-diploma class. According to the requirements, naturalized citizens are required to attend such classes for free, while generally indigenous people need to pay a certain amount of tuition.
"Even if a few of the ia kids learn it, they can't become shopkeepers right away." Yang Shixiang sighed, "Although there are a few guys who are relatively mature and reliable, they don't have enough experience after all, so they don't feel comfortable being sent out to do it alone."
"Of course we will help with this matter." Li Mei immediately said that if necessary, the Ministry of Commerce is willing to "second" some shopkeepers to serve Runshitang - Runshitang will just pay wages.
Eat, drink, and chat at the wine table. It wasn't until noon that we dispersed. The matter was still being discussed, and we just had to wait for the contract to be signed the next day. Li Mei also formally sent an invitation to Yang Shixiang, inviting him to attend the New Year's reception at the end of the year. Liu San stayed in Runshitang on the pretext of being drunk and asked her to take a nap. Li Mei and Jiang Shan said goodbye knowingly.
Why didn't Yang Shixiang know what his foster brother meant, so he immediately sent someone to Liu San's private yard. Let Xuan ūn serve.
Yang Shixiang received the guarantee from the elders, and everything he had been worried about was settled one by one, and he felt very relieved. Just as he was planning to go to the study room to take a nap to get rid of the drunkenness, a maid came to invite him: he was invited to the main room once.
"It's broad daylight, what's the matter?" Yang Shixiang's family is like the wealthy families in this time and space. The husband and wife don't see each other during the day. When they get up early in the morning and wash themselves off, Yang Shixiang comes to the study in front and has breakfast with the account manager. Office matters. My wife manages the housekeeping in the inner courtyard. We won't meet until dinner time in the evening. Eat dinner and sleep together. Even the daughter-in-law does not live with her mother when she grows up, but has her own place to live. We can only meet at dawn and dusk. This is the "model" of a wealthy family. The Yang family is no exception.
"Da*nai said, there is something urgent. We need to discuss it with the master."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Yang Shiyi responded and followed the maid to the main room in the inner courtyard.
Before he could sit down, the big *nai came over and asked, "Master, do you know about Xuan n's matter?"
"What do you know?" Yang Shixiang was startled, not knowing what his wife meant by such a sudden statement.
"So you don't know yet," Da*nai said in a scolding tone.
"She is from a Taoist family, and she is not a maid in our family. What does her matter have to do with me?" In terms of family law, it is indeed irrelevant to the Yang family.
"Today, the third sister came to tell me that Xuan-n--it's..." Da*nai lowered his voice and said furtively.
"Have it? What has it?" Yang Shixiang said casually, and suddenly he understood, "You mean, she has it?"
"Well," Da*nai nodded, "Third sister wants us to make an idea - what are we going to do with Xuan? It's your wish to ask her to serve uncle. Now that she's pregnant, she can't remain in the dark like this. Go down."
"Well, Shixiang just wanted to win over this adopted brother at the beginning, and never thought about things like what if Xuan ūn got pregnant. He has a young man's temper and doesn't rush anything. After saying "hmm" a few times, he said, "Is this true? Have you ever checked your pulse? "
"She hasn't had her period for two months, why should she check her pulse?"
"Otherwise... if the girl's fluid does not arrive, she may not be pregnant. The so-called qi and blood..."
"Okay, don't memorize medical books. If you don't believe it, just go and diagnose the pulse yourself." Da*nai said angrily.
"I'll check her pulse tonight." Yang Shixiang nodded, "But my sworn brother's treatment methods are better than mine, so I'm afraid he'll know it by now."
"Things between men and women will come up sooner or later. Now that the matter has come out, you'd better discuss with your uncle how to deal with Xuan Xuan."
"Is the day right?" Yang Shixiang suddenly woke up. This is an extraordinary thing
"Yes, I checked the guest book and counted the days. My uncle did come to stay overnight on those days."
"Well, that's good"
"What are you worried about? Is the inner house a place where any man can come in?" Da*nai complained, "Young Master IA from Third Sister's family is only nine years old. You won't be suspicious of him, right?"
"Madam, you can't neglect this kind of thing at all," Yang Shixiang said in a sweet voice, "If something goes wrong, it's not as simple as making a joke, but something big will happen."
The Australians are now the local emperors of Lingao - and it seems that they will soon be the local emperors of the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture. The power of life and death is in your hands,
Da*nai looked nervous: "I've already checked this secretly, concubine. There's no surprise."
Yang Shixiang thought about it: the most ideal way is of course to let this adopted brother take Xuan home. It is not a long-term thing to keep someone else's wife in his own home - not to mention that he has a child but Liu San's wife is Elder, I heard that the jealous Liu San might not dare to do this. If something happens, it's possible that even my own family will suffer. Yang Shixiang was nervous for a while, but then he thought that the female veteran was young after all, and he heard Liu San say that his wife was an "idle person" and would not be a person in power. He is a "close partner" of the Senate, so he will not do anything to him.
Now that Liu San's wife has been offended, Liu San must be more flattering in order not to fail. Yang Shixiang made up his mind:
"I think the proper way is to stay in our house and let her give birth to the child. It can be regarded as my brother's foreign home..."
Da*nai complained: "You are so confused. Is the foreign residence set up in someone else's house? The mother and son live in our house. They have no names or status. How will they see people in the future?"
Yang Shixiang thought for a while: "In this case, we will buy another house in the city. Move Xuan ūn there first, and then find a few reliable family members in the old city to accompany us - we will pay for the expenses in the future. It’s just brothers’ own housework.”
Da*nai nodded and said: "That's all we have to do. However, there must be a descendant on the third sister's side - Xuann is a member of her family after all."
Xuan's master's family was so destitute that they depended on the Yang family for their livelihood, and they had no doubts about all the Yang family's decisions. Even so, face should still be kept between relatives. Yang Shixiang thought for a while and said nonchalantly: "Even if we buy Xuan ūn, just change the contract to save them trouble." A! ~!
