Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 400: Unable to Resist Teasing Now
Jiang Xingye ultimately did not yield.
Now he slowly revealed the dominance that had always been suppressed deep within him. After becoming a prospective father, his way of handling things changed significantly compared to before.
"Everyone has difficulties. Shangjiang Team also has challenges. This factory doesn’t belong to one person. Your price is much higher than Anguang County Textile Factory’s. By then, we won’t be able to explain to the production team unless you have other bargaining chips."
"Your clothes aren’t cheap either. I’ve heard some are sold for one hundred and fifty US dollars a piece, which calculates to a few thousand yuan. How much can the fabric cost? A yard of printed fabric is just a few cents, even making a dress costs only a few yuan;
We are all Hua Country people, so why use the business tactics meant for foreigners with us? It hurts feelings," Chen Hongtao said.
Jiang Xingye’s tone was slightly sharp, "This isn’t a personal business of my family. If Manager Chen wants to talk feelings, he should come to my home to discuss. This is the team office."
He turned his head towards Lu Cong’an, "Director Lu, if you have nothing else, you might as well visit our team’s factory. Then you’ll know our difficulties."
By September, the team’s autumn harvest was nearing its end, with some dried corns left. The elderly and infirm of the production team were shelling the corn leisurely, like playing.
Jiang Xingye took a detour to escort Xu Qinghuan home, asking her to go inside, calling on Qing Xiao to take good care of her.
He himself returned with the team, heading towards the factory.
Poor Qiao Xinyu trudged back and forth with her over six-month pregnant belly.
Xu Qinghuan asked her to rest indoors, leaving the work to Jiang Xingye, but she was stubbornly unwilling.
The team office had constructed three rows of brand-new factory buildings, made of concrete structures, with very deep foundations, but much more solid than standard factory buildings.
This was Xu Qinghuan’s experience from the subsequent years. Back then, Xu Group had a supplier in the Great Northeast, which collapsed from heavy snow one year, causing severe damages, failing to supply and required Xu Group’s support.
It left a deep impression on her.
So when constructing the factory building, she got Jiang Xingye to build it with concrete structures.
The factory building was tall, spacious, and bright, with polished floors, coated with paint, green floors spotless, reflecting light.
Packaging boxes, raw materials, tools, all were managed with fixed placements. Daily production tasks were displayed on the board, which also helped progress the production team’s literacy work.
Chen Hongtao’s eyes popped out, surprised that a village-run factory could reach such a scale, looking much grander than their Shen City Textile Factory.
In fact, its output value wasn’t much lower than the textile factory’s.
A single piece of clothing selling for a few thousand yuan was simply unheard of.
Lu Cong’an was also amazed, asking Jiang Xingye about management experiences that were very new to him, "What does fixed placement management mean?"
"It’s not just about putting items in a fixed location, but scientifically planning based on production needs like efficiency and quality, deciding where things should and shouldn’t be placed, and training the workers," Jiang Xingye explained based on his understanding.
Now his language skills were very good, and many reports to superiors were beautifully written.
Of course, Xu Qinghuan also shared her experience with him, and he learned quickly, able to extrapolate.
"How do you handle your training work?" Lu Cong’an saw that Jiang Xingye didn’t mind sharing, so he boldly asked him.
The two chatted happily.
After visiting three factories, Lu Cong’an didn’t dare treat Jiang Xingye as just a village-run factory director. Even the biggest machinery factory in Shen City couldn’t compare with the grand scale and advanced management of this village factory.
"Director Jiang, is there really no wiggle room in this deal?" Lu Cong’an knew that with the current management model of Shangjiang Team’s factory, they wouldn’t randomly introduce a supplier, especially one that’s higher priced for the same quality.
Besides, Shen City Textile Factory was state-owned, and they wouldn’t casually sell at low prices.
This matter could only be driven from above.
After sending the guests away, Jiang Xingye returned.
Xu Qinghuan was now nearly three months in, showing a slight bulge. She was quite alright herself, the pregnancy symptoms now weren’t as strong, easier than before, but Jiang Xingye was tense.
Whenever Xu Qinghuan walked, he wished he could extend his arms around her constantly, fearing any mishaps.
"James left?"
"Yeah, took some goods with him. Just heard from old Zheng that he asked whether Four Sisters Clothing Factory’s goods were sold domestically, probably planning to snatch goods from our distribution channel!"
Xu Qinghuan was quite impressed with this person; his brain worked very well.
Jiang Xingye placed his hand on Xu Qinghuan’s belly, "Was she well-behaved today?"
"She was!" Xu Qinghuan leaned against him, took a deep breath by his neck, "Her dad told her to behave, so how could she not?"
Jiang Xingye wanted a daughter. He always hoped Xu Qinghuan’s current pregnancy was a girl and considered the child in her belly as a daughter.
Jiang Xingye’s scent was comforting, and when Xu Qinghuan felt nauseous from pregnancy symptoms, she would clink onto him to smell.
"Feeling like throwing up again?" Jiang Xingye was heartbroken, holding her on his lap. "The wild raspberries in the mountains have ripened. I’ll pick some for you to eat."
Xu Qinghuan leaned on his shoulder, "Jingmo and Big Egg went to pick quite a lot yesterday. I ate already and don’t want more."
"Is there any other way to stop your nausea?" Jiang Xingye asked, "Should I get Doctor Ren to check on you?"
"Nothing special to check, it’s just like this. This is considered mild, so you don’t have to be so anxious." Xu Qinghuan kissed him on the corner of his lips, "Over in Yan City, Shao Lizhong should send someone over. Jiangzhu Star is due for harvest and it’s worth a good price this year."
"Don’t worry about those matters. Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll make it for you!" Jiang Xingye returned the kiss, holding each other warmly for a while.
Since discovering the pregnancy, Jiang Xingye didn’t dare to overdo it, enduring all along until now.
Although Xu Qinghuan suggested helping him, he refused, possibly fearing her hand would tire or feeling it was not true satisfaction if only he enjoyed it. In any case, he endured.
This time, unable to resist seduction.
After a summer’s drying, just a little spark was enough to ignite.
When Xu Qinghuan sensed his tension, she let go, but Jiang Xingye held the back of her head, not letting her escape, kissing intensely, ultimately breathless, his eyes darkened, a deep ink, sincerely revealing his possessive intentions.
Still, he suppressed this impulse.
The sound of splashing water came from outside, Xu Qinghuan saw him rinsing with cool water at the well through the window.
When he came in, he was wet from head to toe, sticking to his skin, but that part hadn’t subsided.
Xu Qinghuan glanced once, her heart raced, her whole body feeling a bit flushed.
She turned her head, Jiang Xingye had his back to her, taking off his clothes, wiping with a towel, shoulders broad and stretching, reminiscent of the Phoenix Mountain’s ridges, a narrow waist extending down, like a hook, pulling at her heart.
Xu Qinghuan swallowed hard.
