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

Upon hearing Qu Tai's words, Lin Fan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

"Director?"

"So you're actually the factory manager of Huamei?"

This surprise was not feigned by Lin Fan. Although he knew something about what happened in Huamei a month later, he only had a general understanding of it.

As for more detailed information about Huamei, he didn't know anything about it, let alone details like who the factory manager of Huamei was.

He had just arrived here today, but he never expected that the person he randomly picked at the restaurant would turn out to be Huamei's factory manager. Was it fate or something else?

"Young man, I've only been the factory manager for a short time."

"Sigh, never mind, let's not talk about these things anymore. You still haven't told me what kind of business you want to discuss with Huamei!"

Qu Tai looked at Lin Fan with shining eyes, seemingly somewhat excited.

As the factory director, it's normal for Qu Tai to be a little excited when he hears that someone wants to do business with their factory.

If it were someone else, unaware of Huamei's current situation, they would probably be surprised by the factory manager's attitude.

But Lin Fan already knew that Huamei was facing great difficulties and was probably already operating at a loss, with employees' salaries likely not paid for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan calmly put down his chopsticks and smiled, "I came to Huamei to do business in theatrical costumes. To be honest, I have a clothing factory in a nearby county. However, the factory has been doing well recently, and the raw material suppliers in the county can no longer supply me. So I came to Yuan City to look for connections."

This was obviously bragging, and not just bragging, but huge bragging. His factory wasn't even officially built yet. The reason he came to Yuanshi to find someone to cooperate with was because he couldn't make a living in Liangshan County anymore.

Even Lin Shuying, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but be speechless upon hearing Lin Fan's bold introduction.

But Lin Fan remained calm and even somewhat smug.

This world is just a makeshift operation; everyone's identity is self-proclaimed. What kind of business he runs, how big it is—it's all up to him to decide. Do you think Qu Tai can investigate that?

Only when you lay out your strength on the table during negotiations can you take the initiative. Of course, you need a thick skin to say this so naturally, otherwise you'd be like Lin Shuying, who would blush just thinking about it, let alone say it out loud.

"Young man, you're so young, yet you possess such abilities. I'm truly impressed!"

Qu Tai spoke with a hint of surprise, but at the same time, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

However, after looking at the Zhonghua cigarettes in his hand and the half-open cigarette box on the other party's back, he couldn't help but believe it.

He can afford this kind of cigarette, and the clothes he wears are also made of high-quality materials; he certainly looks like a wealthy person.

He's in the clothing raw materials business, so he has some insight.

Thinking of this, Qu Tai's expression became even more amiable. He looked at Lin Fan and said softly, "So that's how it is. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Young man, how much stock do you need? What specific fabrics do you want? Since we've met today, we can talk about it."

Qu Tai looked at Lin Fan with a smile, appearing calm on the surface, but his hand under the table was already clenched tightly.

Heaven is helping me! It's truly heaven's help!

He had already given up hope, thinking that the whole thing would fall apart because of him, and that he would be cursed and disgraced by everyone in the factory.

But unexpectedly, he ran into such an interesting young man while having a meal. If Lin Fan's order volume is large enough and the deposit paid is large enough, then maybe he can survive this crisis.

"Not urgent."

Lin Fan's target was Huamei, but this was something that only his own people knew. Since the purpose was to discuss business, he couldn't reveal his true intentions and trump cards.

So Lin Fan waved his hand gently and said with a smile, "The reason I came to Huamei is because someone introduced me to Huamei's fabrics. The prices are relatively low and the quality is also good, so I wanted to come and take a look."

"But if I may offend you, factory manager, we believe in comparing prices when doing business. It's hard to say whether these hearsay rumors are true or not, so I'd like to visit other factories in the original city as well."

"If Huamei is indeed the best one, I will naturally come back and discuss it in detail with the factory manager."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Qu Tai was not only not displeased, but rather became somewhat excited.

Look at what a real businessman would say. If Lin Fan had agreed immediately, he would have had some doubts.

It was Lin Fan's refusal that made him realize that Lin Fan was very sincere in doing business, and judging from his tone, he might want quite a lot of goods.

In this way, if we seize this opportunity, there is a possibility that the factory may be able to be revived.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Fan and chuckled, "Young brother, you're a generous person. This is only right, only right."

"After all, everyone does business for profit. It's normal to seek cooperation with whoever can provide you with the greatest benefit."

"Come, come, young man, it's a rare treat to see you all today. Let's have a couple of drinks. After you're done, go ask around at other factories. I have confidence in the quality and price of Huamei. Once you've found out more, you can decide whether you want to come to me!"

"Alright, come on, Director Qu, let me toast you!"

……

Soon the two people at the table started toasting each other.

Lin Shuying sat to the side, completely dumbfounded.

With his limited understanding, he couldn't quite figure out why Lin Fan had become so close to the factory director so quickly, chatting and laughing like old friends who hadn't seen each other for decades, and why the factory director was frequently toasting him.

They came here to rely on Huamei for their lives; if they couldn't reach a cooperation agreement, they would be doomed. So how did Lin Fan manage to be so calm and act like he had them in his hands?

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Fan led Lin Shuying to say goodbye, settling the bill before leaving.

As soon as Lin Fan left, Qu Tai disregarded everything else, stood up, hurriedly grabbed his coat from the chair, and rushed home.

It was half an hour later when I got home.

Seeing Qu Tai enter reeking of alcohol, an elderly man in his sixties frowned and asked, "You went out drinking again?"

"Sigh, the factory is in such a state, and instead of finding a solution, you're in the mood to drink?"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but since you've taken on this heavy responsibility, you have to take charge."

“A few workers came to our house again today, demanding that we pay their wages as soon as possible. If they come a few more times, even a fool would see that we are just making excuses. If things get out of hand, it will be hard to handle.”
