Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 386: Sky-High Price

Gong Zhijie said this meal is on him, Xu Qinghuan smiled, "The money has already been paid, Director Gong saying such words. I’ve dealt with your younger brother, he’s a very straightforward person."

Gong Zhijie paused for a moment, then realized who Xu Qinghuan was referring to, "You mean Mingjie? No wonder, your foreign language is really good, he works at the Anguang County Xinhua Bookstore. Oh, you two are from the same place, now I understand, pleasure to meet you!"

He reached out to shake hands with Xu Qinghuan, Jiang Xingye’s sharp gaze fell on his hand, and he quickly stretched it towards Jiang Xingye, "Who is this?"

Xu Qinghuan introduced, "This is my fiancé Jiang Xingye, these are all educated youths from Shangjiang Team, and they are also key personnel at the factory!"

"The educated youths from Shangjiang Team are very impressive, I’ve read reports about you all, didn’t expect the honor of knowing you." Gong Zhijie knew how to talk.

He exchanged pleasantries with everyone, making people feel welcomed, and once the atmosphere warmed up, he laughed and said, "Xu fellow, you are a talent, now the country’s development needs people of ambition like you."

"You’re also from Shen City, you can’t just think about Shangjiang Team, how about you and Comrade Jiang, are you interested in returning to Shen City?"

This person is very generous and understands how to handle people.

As he mentioned Jiang Xingye, Jiang Xingye did not react as he usually would, when anyone suggested Xu Qinghuan return to the city, he would bristle.

"My fiancé is a native of Shangjiang Team, there are grandparents at home to support, we can’t return to the city." Xu Qinghuan looked at the fading sky, "If you have something to say, speak directly!"

"Xu fellow is a straightforward person." Gong Zhijie said, "I’ve heard Qiao fellow’s father is a workshop director at the textile factory? Seeing this friendship, is there any way to help the textile factory?"

Xu Qinghuan asked, "Depends on how to help! If you want me to talk to James, to make him honor the agreement, then I want to ask, where’s the agreement?"

Gong Zhijie shook his head, "This is our oversight, this indeed is a problem."

Xu Qinghuan said, "I can help, but why did such an oversight happen? I think the factory needs to thoroughly investigate, also, I can’t help for free!"

Two days later, Qiao’s father rushed to Nan City with a group from Shen City in a great bustle, at that time, the Shangjiang Team group was preparing to return home, they had secured enough orders not to worry about the market for at least a year.

When Qiao Xinyu saw her father, she was so happy she almost jumped for joy, but also knew Qiao Huaqing’s visit was not simple.

Gong Zhijie invited them to dine at the state-run restaurant, "This time, Comrade Qiao comes under the name of Deputy Factory Director, Xu fellow, the quantity of this batch of goods is really substantial, it’s been piled up for a long time now, if it continues, it won’t just be a matter of paying wages, but whether the factory can survive."

Gong Zhijie was a bit exaggerating, nowadays, it’s all communal meals, factories aren’t that easy to go bankrupt.

"Actually, it’s easy to solve this inventory. Our Four Sisters Clothing Factory got a lot of orders this time, and our brand name is out there now, once we get in touch with the outside world, future orders will only increase."

"But in fact, we also face a problem to solve." Xu Qinghuan said.

"What problem?" Qiao Huaqing asked.

"Raw materials." Xu Qinghuan said, "So, you might consider selling your inventory to us."

Chen Hongtao listened with a frown, "How much can you take?"

He still wants to sell the goods to James, or other foreigners, then what they earn would be foreign exchange, which would be his achievement, but selling to Four Sisters Clothing Factory, they’d receive Hua Country Coin, and the achievement would be Qiao Huaqing’s.

Xu Qinghuan didn’t pay attention to him, instead asked Gong Zhijie, "What price can the textile factory offer me?"

Gong Zhijie asked Chen Hongtao for a quote, Chen Hongtao reluctantly quoted a sky-high price.

Qiao Xinyu disliked this person, as he obviously had a non-cooperative, arrogant attitude.

However, sales at that time, including sales for the next decade had such attitudes, in times of shortage, they held resources.

Later, under circumstances of imperfect systems, some sales could empty a factory.

"How is it possible, you supply department stores at this price?" Qiao Xinyu said.

Chen Hongtao justified, "Your clothes aren’t sold to outside department stores, you’re selling to foreigners, a piece of clothing over a hundred US Dollars, such a high selling price, you earn how much for each piece?"

Xu Qinghuan laughed and spread her hands towards Gong Zhijie, indicating she was also helpless.

Gong Zhijie persuaded him, "Hongtao, that’s not how it works, Shangjiang Team can secure foreign trade orders due to their capability, you should sell at the normal price you ought to sell, mix these up."

If it weren’t for the large number of inventories, the textile factory came to him asking for help, Gong Zhijie wouldn’t want to deal with this business.

"If you want a cheap price, you can take all our inventory at once." Chen Hongtao pretended to compromise, "The price I gave was agreed upon with foreigners."

In fact, the price Chen Hongtao negotiated with foreigners and the price to department stores were about the same, James was an old hand, he understood Hua Country’s prices well.

Qiao Xinyu was really angry, "Then go ahead and sell to foreigners."

Chen Hongtao gave Qiao Huaqing a mocking look, seemingly saying, if I secure this deal with foreigners, your dad can’t be deputy factory director.

Qiao Huaqing laughed, "Don’t consider me, being a workshop director is quite good. Wherever the organization needs me, I’ll be there."

Chen Hongtao was a bit speechless, "I’m also considering you, after so many years, it’s time for a promotion."

"Everywhere is serving the people, I don’t care about this." Qiao Huaqing was not soft, "But since last October till now, the factory’s capital flow has been difficult, not even a bar of soap has been issued."

Chen Hongtao’s face looked a bit sour, "That blames me! But foreign deals are indeed hard to negotiate."

Hard to negotiate? Shangjiang Team secured several such deals?

Chen Hongtao realized his words might not convince anyone, "Xu fellow, you also need to be cautious, we suffered such a loss, you mustn’t fall in the same place again."

This sounds like a curse.

Xu Qinghuan smiled, "No way, business doesn’t depend on faith, even a three-year-old knows to put everything in black and white clearly, our agreements are bilingual, both parties’ qualifications are reviewed before signing, to avoid signing with a shell company."

"Besides, you know we offer high prices, truthfully speaking, even if the agreement isn’t honored midway, Shangjiang Team wouldn’t suffer."

Their prices are high, and payment is required when placing an order, this proportion isn’t decided thoughtlessly, the profit is included.

They wish people wouldn’t honor the agreement, because the deposit is essentially free.
