After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

The old sewing machines, such as treadmills, that were phased out by Donghua Garment Factory are currently stored in the Finance Bureau's warehouse.

Of course, since quite some time has passed, there may be some issues with the quality.

However, Lin Fan doesn't expect these old machines to last for ten or eight years. As long as they can last through this period, he will buy new ones. He is currently short of money, so this is the only way to proceed for now.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing here? This is the Finance Bureau. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!"

It's different from other government service windows.

Ordinary citizens rarely come to the Finance Bureau; it's usually public officials who come when they have internal matters to attend to.

So when the security guard at the door saw Lin Fan and Lin Zhi, two unfamiliar faces, he immediately glared at them and told them to leave.

Lin Fan stepped forward with a smile, took out a pack of hardcore cigarettes from his pocket, stuffed them into the security guard's hand, and said, "Brother, we're here to see the leaders at the Finance Bureau."

"I heard that the Finance Bureau has a batch of obsolete old equipment. We'd like to spend some money to buy it back. Could you please inform them?"

Lin Fan directly stated his purpose, so there was no point in hiding it. On the contrary, the security guard probably didn't have the energy for such matters, and would definitely go in and notify him as soon as he heard Lin Fan's intentions.

As expected, after Lin Fan finished speaking, the security guard paused for a moment, and the impatience on his face lessened considerably.

"So you're just a small business owner, here to do some business. Okay, okay, you wait here for a bit, I'll go in and tell the section chief!"

"Okay, thanks!"

The two of them stayed at the entrance of the Finance Bureau for a short while, and soon the security guard returned.

"Gentlemen, you've come at the perfect time. Section Chief Xu hasn't left work yet. He heard you're here to buy some equipment. Section Chief Xu is very happy to welcome you. Please come with me!"

Led by the security guard, the two entered the Finance Bureau and soon arrived at the office of the so-called section chief.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Section Chief Xu, the people have arrived!"

The security guard knocked on the office door and then shouted something.

A moment later, a slight movement came from inside the office, followed by a deep male voice: "Come in!"

Upon entering, Lin Fan and Lin Zhi were both taken aback.

Because there was more than just Section Chief Xu in that office.

Next to Section Chief Xu stood a young and pretty girl. She was only in her early twenties, with average looks, but her figure was very striking, with long legs.

She wore a pair of long high heels, a black pencil skirt, and a light-colored short blazer. Her long hair was casually tied in a ponytail, making her look both sexy and lively.

Whether it was the hot weather or something else, when Lin Fan and the others came in, the little girl's face was flushed, and her expression was somewhat unnatural. She stood there, twisting her hands, deliberately turning her head away to avoid looking at Lin Fan and the others.

As Lin Fan approached Section Chief Xu's desk, he also smelled a familiar, strange odor, and his expression immediately became somewhat odd.

It seems that this Section Chief Xu is not a peaceful person. However, Lin Fan is used to this kind of thing. It's a willing buyer and a willing seller. What can others say?

"Xiao Lu, you can go down now. I need to talk to these two guests about something."

"Yes, section chief."

Section Chief Xu leered at the girl beside him, then boldly patted her on the bottom, signaling her to leave.

The girl blushed even more, lowered her head, and hurriedly walked out of the office. Before leaving, she made sure to close the door, leaving only Lin Fan and the other two in the office.

Watching the little girl's departing figure, Section Chief Xu withdrew his gaze, coughed, raised his head, and his expression suddenly turned serious as he looked at Lin Fan and the other person.

"The security guards said you wanted to buy some obsolete equipment from our Finance Bureau?"

Lin Fan stepped forward, nodded, and said, "That's right, Section Chief Xu. We'd like to buy the sewing machines and other equipment that were phased out by the Donghua Garment Factory. I wonder if those things are still in the hands of the Finance Bureau?"

"Donghua Garment Factory?"

Upon hearing this title, Section Chief Xu frowned.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't really remember that. Even if I did, it probably hasn't been there long. It's very old and won't last long. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Section Chief Xu suddenly lost his enthusiasm.

I thought they'd brought two easy targets, but they turned out to be buying this junk!

They probably can't squeeze much money out of him. After all, if they really had money, they would have bought new ones instead of buying these old, discarded items from him.

If I were to ask for too much, they would rather spend the money on new equipment than bother with me, so it seems I won't be able to get anything out of these two today.

With that thought in mind, Section Chief Xu stood up and led the way: "Never mind, never mind, let's take you to check the inventory first!"

Several people walked downstairs and went to one of the warehouses behind the Finance Bureau.

The items in this warehouse are naturally strictly registered, since they belong to the public; not a single item can be added or removed.

So you can find out if the old equipment from Donghua Garment Factory still exists by looking in the booklet.

"Hey, you guys are in luck! The stuff is here!"

After flipping through the inventory list in the warehouse, Section Chief Xu chuckled and looked at Lin Fan and the others, saying with a smile, "There are more than thirty sewing machines in here, as well as various other equipment for making clothes and shoes. They are all quite old, so I won't ask you for too many. I'll charge you 500 yuan per sewing machine, plus the other miscellaneous items, so you can give me 30,000 yuan!"

Nowadays, even the most basic sewing machine on the market costs around two thousand yuan, while more expensive ones can cost four or five thousand yuan.

The sewing machines in this factory are quite old, so 500 yuan is still a bit expensive.

After all, these sewing machines are not only old, but also outdated, dating back decades. They can't compare to the new ones available now, so Lin Fan's budget was around two or three hundred yuan.

Moreover, considering other factors, Lin Fan definitely couldn't afford the total of 30,000 yuan!

He spent 70,000 yuan to buy the factory, and he still has more than 30,000 yuan left. If he uses all of it to buy these machines, how will his factory operate?

How do we buy raw materials? How do we pay the employees? We can't just try to get something for nothing.
