Since Zhou Dajiang wanted to take control of the entire situation, he naturally considered both options.

He continued, “If you choose the second option, then of course it would be more convenient if you are closer to me.

If there is no problem with the management personnel on Shopkeeper Xue's side, then my suggestion is to build the factory in Qingshan Town or directly in Qingshangou.

This not only makes maintenance easier for me, but also allows me to help solve technical problems if the company has products they want processed later."

In terms of processing, Zhou Dajiang believes that he is quite capable. He cannot be called an expert, but he should have been a leader in ancient times.

To increase his leverage, he continued, "Also, if I come up with new ideas in the future, I can put them into production. Of course, we can discuss the prices of other products separately then."

Shopkeeper Xue was surprised to hear that there were other products. He glanced at Shopkeeper Chen, who had never mentioned them.

Shopkeeper Chen hadn't discussed the matter because it was still uncertain. Seeing Zhou Dajiang bring it up himself, he asked, "Do you have any idea about that tool you mentioned last time?"

Zhou Dajiang just wanted to win over Shopkeeper Xue at this time, so he didn't hide it anymore and nodded and said, "Yes, I'm drawing the blueprints these two days. Once the dimensions are determined, I'll print a set for you to see."

Shopkeeper Chen was overjoyed and immediately said, "If you need any help from me, just tell me. Don't be polite to me!"

When Shopkeeper Xue saw that the two of them had abandoned him in unison, he immediately became anxious, "You can't leave me alone when you have something good. Can you tell me about it too?"

Shopkeeper Chen also started to speak up for Zhou Dajiang at this moment, "Haven't you finished discussing the tool set yet? Let's talk about this first. Once the cooperation is finalized, there will still be time to discuss new products." In fact, he also wanted to know.

Zhou Dajiang: "This time it's a kitchen tool. I want to make a meat grinder. Just turn the handle and large pieces of meat can be turned into minced meat immediately.

Moreover, it can not only grind meat, but also other vegetables and fruits. If it goes well, it can be further upgraded to become a juicer or something."

Shopkeeper Chen immediately thought of how many dishes the restaurant had to prepare in advance and how this meat grinder could be used. If he could make them, it would be so convenient!

Not only can it greatly shorten the serving time, but it can also save manpower and allow them to do other things. This is a must-have! This is more practical than a grater and a peeler!

Shopkeeper Xue also understood the value of this thing. If production went smoothly, all the restaurants and wealthy families across the country would be his customers. He had to get it! He had to get it!

He no longer hesitated and patted Zhou Dajiang on the shoulder, "Jiangshan is really full of talented people! Brother, you have such talent at such a young age, you will surely shine in the future!

It is my honor to make friends with you, brother!

I'll follow your advice regarding the factory. Let's choose a place in Qingshan Town. The company will provide the funds, and I'll send someone over after I return to Beijing.

However, we need to change the terms. We won't be signing a separate tool kit. All future products you invent will be produced and managed by my company, and I'll give you 30% of the profits. What do you think?"

Thirty percent profit is already a huge number. You know, Datong Trading Company distributes its products all over the country, and the quantity is not a small amount. When Manager Chen heard this, he was happy for Zhou Dajiang and signaled him to agree quickly.

Although Zhou Dahai didn't know the scale of Datong Trading Company, he was happy for Zhou Dajiang when he heard about the 30% profit. This meant that his younger brother would have endless money in the future.

Although 30% profit is already very high, Zhou Dajiang did not get carried away. He said modestly: "It is an honor for me that Brother Xue recognizes me. 30% profit is too much. I am a scholar and do not need so much money.

If possible, I hope our factory can devote half of its profits to the development of my hometown, which can be regarded as my contribution to the development of my hometown. I can give me 20% of the remaining profits. What do you think?

Shopkeeper Xue, Shopkeeper Chen, and even Zhou Dahai didn't expect him to say that.

Shopkeeper Xue was delighted. He had originally thought he'd have to pay 30% of the profit to sign the contract, but he was surprised to find that he could get it done with 25%. Furthermore, being able to partner with such a righteous and talented person to build a factory would not only improve his reputation, but also ensure a secure financial future. So, he readily agreed.

Next, the two men discussed the details of the factory construction. Zhou Dajiang had worked in a modern factory, so he was naturally familiar with this aspect.

He took charge of the site selection for the factory. He planned to go back to the county government office to pay a visit to County Magistrate Lin to see if he could get him to approve a piece of wasteland.

Fund raising is the responsibility of Shopkeeper Xue.

All that's left is equipment and labor.

The existing stamping machines were too crude. If we wanted to put them into mass production, we had to use iron machines with a long service life. In this dynasty, using large amounts of iron required "iron strips." Shopkeeper Xue had a strong background, so this was naturally his responsibility.

In terms of manpower, management personnel were provided by Datong Trading Company, while processing workers were recruited locally by Zhou Dajiang.

The two men decided on the direction and signed the contract, and then Manager Xue said goodbye and left. He had to hurry back to the capital to allocate funds and arrange for personnel to come.

Zhou Dajiang felt that as soon as he started one thing, another one followed, leaving him no chance to breathe. He was almost too busy.

Shopkeeper Chen still has 300 sets of tools to be completed, and he is going to build a new house tomorrow. He has just signed a contract for a cooperative factory, so it is a completely seamless transition!

By the way, there is another pot that I have to get later. I also have to hand in my homework to my father-in-law in the evening. I guess even the Prime Minister and the Chancellor are not as busy as him.

God, lend me eight hands!

Zhou Dajiang was thinking about this drama in his head as he walked towards the blacksmith shop with his elder brother.

Zhou Dahai finally dared to speak and asked, "Why did you push the money away just now? If they give you 30%, you should just take it! Don't you scholars all say, 'People die for money, and birds die for food'?"

Zhou Dajiang: "That's true, but look at all the high-ranking officials. Apart from the people in the Ministry of Revenue, which other official dares to shout 'money, money, money' every day?"

He made a gesture of wiping his neck, "If there was, it would have been snapped off long ago.

This company has grown to a sizeable scale with branches across the country, so its backing is undoubtedly strong. Working with such a company, even if we can earn 10% more than the 10% profit, would be beneficial to us.

Besides, I can get half of the profits to build my hometown, which is good for my brother and the reputation of the whole family."

Zhou Dahai believes that he is not as far-sighted as his younger brother. His younger brother must have his reasons for doing so. When he doesn't understand, he just needs to listen.

The two brothers walked all the way to the blacksmith shop. The big iron pot had already been made. Zhou Dahe's eyes were doubled. He went in and saw that he didn't move when he saw them. It was obvious that he was very tired during this period.

Zhou Dajiang thought about setting up a factory in the future, so he encouraged Zhou Dahe: "Hold on a little longer. After you finish these 300 sets, I'll find you and your brother a lighter job. If Master Qu is willing, I'll also hire him as a master in the factory."

Zhou Dahe is now immune to what his second brother says and he doesn't believe it.

Zhou Dahai also nodded at him and said, "What my second brother said is true. He just signed a contract with someone to cooperate in setting up a factory."

"Really? That's great! I can be a master in the future!" The happy little motor immediately became full of energy and walked into the blacksmith room with brisk steps.

He needs to get those 300 sets out as soon as possible!
