Become a burden in a period novel

Upon hearing the number of people needed, Qin Wangshu smiled.

Although these orders exceed the factory's current production capacity, they can be completed as soon as possible if Angelina's machines are delivered.

While Qin Wangshu was discussing orders with these people, Aunt Luo also noticed the textile booths.

Although Aunt Luo's clothing factory had been open for several years, this was the first time she had ever seen so many kinds of fabrics.

Seeing these fabrics, Aunt Luo had no mind to care about anything else.

She went over and asked about the fabrics she didn't recognize, and then asked for the addresses of the textile factories. Aunt Luo didn't care about the price of the fabrics; after all, if the cost went up, the price of the finished garments would also go up.

Seeing these fabrics, she could already imagine what clothes they would look like when made from them. Some of the cheaper fabrics could be used in the branch factory, while the more expensive fabrics could be used in the factory in Beijing.

Beijing is the capital of China, so even if the clothes are a bit expensive, there's no shortage of people coming to buy them.

Aunt Luo placed orders with several textile factories after only a short time.

"I'll arrange a vehicle to pick up these orders. I wonder how you plan to settle the payment?" Aunt Luo didn't have enough money with her. Her idea was to pay a deposit first, and then send the remaining payment over when she returned to Beijing.

The person in charge on the other end of the line saw that Aunt Luo had ordered a lot of fabric, and knowing that her daughter-in-law was also at the exhibition, he only asked her to pay a partial deposit first.

"Actually, it would be even better if you could settle in foreign exchange, but that's just wishful thinking on my part." Their textile factory's products are indeed very good, but the textile industry abroad is stronger, and they can only exchange low prices for some orders.

He had also heard of Qin Wangshu's factory, which Aunt Luo mentioned. It had no shortage of orders, and there were even many foreigners who wanted to buy her products.

Knowing that Aunt Luo was Qin Wangshu's mother-in-law, he really wanted Aunt Luo to use Qin Wangshu's foreign exchange to settle the bill, but he could only dream about it.

“Your goods are very good, and you don’t have to worry about selling them at all. Besides, this isn’t a one-off deal for me. If the price is right, I’ll keep placing orders in the future.” Aunt Luo understood the predicament of these state-owned factories.

She had visited many state-owned factories, and while many of them produced genuinely good products, it couldn't change the fact that they ultimately failed due to poor management and couldn't even pay their workers' wages.

She had asked Qin Wangshu for the reason, and Qin Wangshu explained a lot to her. She understood some of it, but was confused about others. However, she also realized that it was caused by multiple reasons, and every factory had its own difficulties.

She used to envy the workers in the city, never imagining that she herself would one day become a factory manager and even open a branch factory.

"It would be great if you could keep placing orders! I'll prioritize shipping yours."

However, when Aunt Luo visited other booths, some customers didn't seem interested in her order. Aunt Luo wasn't angry; instead, she went to other booths. She had visited quite a few booths that day and placed quite a few orders.

It seems she might not have enough money, so she'll have to borrow some from Wang Shu.

Aunt Luo didn't feel guilty about borrowing money from Qin Wangshu, since it wasn't like she wouldn't pay it back.
