After staying up desperately for two nights, after the exam at the end of November, Fang Yanqing can finally relax, in order to express his reward, Fang Yanqing decided to allow himself to sleep for a day, make up for the nights he stayed up the previous nights, and put desserts and tea on the bedside table, wake up hungry and thirsty, you can eat and drink at any time.

With my eyes closed, I planned in my mind what I was going to do in the future, and I didn't think long before I entered the dream.

"Young master, I chose twenty-five people, and there is a girl among them," Fu Zhi took the newspaper that helped Wei Chaoding and put it on the edge of the table, with the words 'Weizhi Weekly News' written on it.

"Girl?" Wei Chao flipped through the report in his hand, it was a batch of military cotton clothes ordered by the current Governor Chen, the price was very low, not to mention that this price was not profitable, and he might lose a lot, "You can just look at the employment work, and if the person is set, you can bring it over and let them work according to the drawings." ”

"Good. Fu Zhi nodded, and was about to withdraw, when he heard Wei Chao stop him.

"This batch of orders, delay it a little longer, tell Manager Liu, let him find a way to raise the price up, if it doesn't work, it will be delayed. Wei Chao threw the order in his hand into the drawer, "Okay, let's get out." ”

Today's new news, Outer Mongolia declared independence, unlike the provinces, I don't know how many Tsarist government handicrafts, this situation is chaotic, money is not easy to make, especially like their own family in the first share, it looks like a fat sheep, everyone wants to take a bite, although the members of the Shanghai business community have weapons and bodyguards, but can only protect themselves a little, there is no way to deal with these soldiers and ruffians, it is really a headache.

Cotton clothes, cotton shoes, Wei Chao nodded with his fingers, and suddenly there was an unformed idea in his head, but he couldn't say why.

There were a few knocks on the door, and Fu Zhi's voice came, "Wei Shao, Adjutant Xu is here." ”

Wei Chao heard Adjutant Xu's name for a moment, and immediately reacted, this is not the most favored and trusted one under Governor Chen, I heard that he went to talk about several previous businesses, and he graduated from the Shanghai Military Academy, "Please come in." ”

The door was opened, and an officer wearing a military uniform and a big-brimmed hat walked in, followed by two guards, Wei Chao quickly got up and welcomed the person to the sofa, "Why did Adjutant Xu come in person?

Wei Chao picked up the teacup and was about to pour the tea when he was stopped by Adjutant Xu, "Wei Shao doesn't have to pour tea, I'll come over and discuss with Wei Shao about the batch of goods, and leave after speaking." ”

"What is that shipment?" Wei Chao said as he retracted his hand and pretended to be stupid.

"Hahaha, Wei Shaogui forgets a lot of things, presumably he didn't pay attention to it, it was our governor who ordered a batch of cotton clothes, and now in Shanghai City, there are goods in Wei Shao's factory, and we want it tightly, so I will be urged. ”

Wei Chao coughed lightly, relaxed his body on the back of the sofa, and said, "It turned out to be a cotton suit, hiss, I am still looking at this, Governor Chen wants a lot of goods, more than 30,000 cotton clothes, no matter how much I have inventory here, it is not enough for 30,000 pieces, and in terms of price, I must also know that my garment factory has some foreign capital, and the price is too low, and I can't say anything." ”

Adjutant Xu heard Wei Chaoyi's call, he didn't get angry or argue, he just smiled, "The day after tomorrow, Guangdong will send troops to Shanghai, and now the situation between the north and the south is opposed, the southern provinces are independent, and the north is honest, this north and south are not unified for a day, and it is not good for you who do business, you can't do business only one, and it is impossible to do only Shanghai, if this Northern Expedition is completed, Young Master Wei, think about it, how much money should you make." ”

Regardless of the questions he raised, he knew that he was fooling himself, Wei Chao Chen said with a smile, "What Adjutant Xu said is very true, as a common man, I naturally hope for the victory of the Northern Expedition, but the price of this cotton suit is still too low, if I give it to you at such a low price, my factory will have to go bankrupt and stop working, presumably Adjutant Xu also knows that it is not advisable to kill chickens and take eggs." ”

Adjutant Xu pondered for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and asked meaningfully, "What does Yiwei Shao ......mean?"

"Double, I only have five thousand pieces in stock here, and this is already all of them, and I can give them all to you. ”

"Only five thousand?" Adjutant Xu's face was a little ugly, "Isn't this too little?"

Wei Chao shook his head, "It's a lot, didn't you say it too?" Other families don't have inventory, only my family has it, and these five thousand pieces are already all of our family, and we are really powerless to do the rest." ”

"Yes, it's just that the Governor's terror won't believe it. ”

There are indeed only 5,000 ready-made cotton clothes in the factory, but the semi-finished products are piled up in the factory, and there are about 2,000 pieces, Wei Chao smiled helplessly, "I don't believe it, I can't do it, if it really doesn't work, I'll ask someone to take the adjutant to the warehouse, and you can take it yourself." ”

"Wei Shao, don't get me wrong, I just asked more, and I definitely didn't doubt Wei Shao's meaning. Adjutant Xu said with a smile on his face.

"I didn't misunderstand, Adjutant Xu was just cautious. Wei Chao said perfunctorily, folded his hands, and tapped the back of his other hand with his index finger.

Adjutant Xu saw that Wei Chao didn't mean to speak, he was silent for a while, and raised his eyes to look at Wei Chao, this Young Master Wei had a cold face, and he couldn't see his joy and anger, he had heard that Wei Shimu was difficult to deal with, after all, he was the one who climbed to the position of the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and if he made the industry so big, he must be an old fox who became a fine man, I thought that this young Young Master Wei was easy to deal with, but I didn't expect it to be very troublesome to deal with, and it was really a family fox.

"If this is not the case, as far as I know, there are more than 1,000 workers in Wei Shao's factory, if you are in a hurry, you should be able to produce 5,000 cotton clothes within three days, so let's take back 5,000 cotton clothes first, and then buy 5,000 pieces in advance, a total of 10,000 cotton clothes, as for the price that Wei Shao said, I will also discuss it, and then let me get 20% of the profit, how about it?"

"Heh, Adjutant Xu is so calculating," Wei Chao chuckled, although he has a total of more than a thousand workers, but the things he is responsible for are different, how can he be calculated together, "Adjutant Xu is afraid that he has misunderstood, I just said that I have doubled, but I haven't made a penny, you calculate, my orders in other places have to be stacked back, and doing business is to pay attention to integrity, you... It's cutting off my business. ”

"Wei Shao is serious," Adjutant Xu wiped his forehead, he didn't dare to force Wei Chao to be anxious, the Shanghai Military Academy was invested by the Wei family, and some of his own army were officers from the military academy, if he was in a hurry, he would not be able to explain, "We are now in a hurry to spend money, we really can't draw money, this Northern Expedition needs cotton clothes, otherwise the soldiers below can't survive, if Wei Shao is so accommodating here, it will be beneficial in the future, and Governor Chen will not be less Wei Shao." ”

"Benefits?" Wei Chao's voice smiled, "Speaking of benefits, I suddenly have a way to ask Adjutant Xu to go back and talk to Governor Chen to help me talk ......."

Fang Yanqing woke up again and found that it was already dark outside, yawned, took a sip of cold tea in the tea cup, extinguished the fire in his stomach, and the person was also sober, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, he had slept for more than ten hours, gently knocked his head with his hand, walked to the window, and looked down, Wei Chao's car had not come back yet, Fang Yanqing frowned, he came back at about five o'clock on weekdays, why was he so busy so late today.

Just thinking about it, the door was gently opened, and Fang Yanqing turned his head slightly to see that it was the Qing girl who was carrying the kettle, "Miss, are you awake?"

"Well, you're ......"

"Thinking about changing some water for your tea," Qing Yatou smiled and put the kettle under the table, Qing Yatou is now wearing a blouse and a skirt, and she looks very energetic, "The young master handed over the message today, saying that he would come back very late, and asked the young lady not to forget to eat." ”

Fang Yanqing nodded, watching as Qing Ya brought the things she had placed on the bedside table to the table by the door.

Wei Chao didn't come back until about eleven o'clock, and after talking to Adjutant Xu for a while, Adjutant Xu called Governor Chen in his office again, and talked for a long time about the price and quantity, that person was also a hard bone, and he was taken into the ditch by him if he said something wrong, "Haven't slept yet?" Wei Chao saw Fang Yanqing reading the newspaper on the bed, loosened his tie, took off his coat and asked.

Fang Yanqing shook his head, put the newspaper in his hand on his lap, looked at Wei Chao and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble today?"

"It's a troublesome matter, but fortunately, it's almost solved," Wei Chao picked up his pajamas and pajamas and walked towards the bathroom, "I'll go and flush it first, and I'll talk to you when I get back." ”

After taking a shower, Wei Chao felt that his body was much more relaxed, lifted the quilt and sat next to Fang Yanqing, "It's my garment factory's business, our Governor Chen here wants to buy a batch of cotton ......clothes from me," Wei Chao explained the process in two sentences, and couldn't help shaking his head, "To be honest, I don't like business, it's really troublesome." ”

Fang Yanqing saw Wei Chao's expression for the first time, looked at Wei Chao with some amusement, and asked, "Then what did you want to do initially?"

"I, I originally wanted to join the army," Wei Chao chuckled softly, "but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to deal with soldiers and ruffians now." ”

"Then that's half your wish. Fang Yanqing quipped with a smile.

Wei Chao rubbed Fang Yanqing's head, his eyes squinting into a crescent moon, "Now my wish is that you and I will be with you and grow old together." ”

Sure enough, every time I joked, I would be summed up by Wei Chao's love words, and it seemed that I had to practice how to say something that didn't give people goosebumps but could tug at the heartstrings, so Ming'er went to the newspaper office and asked Boss Xu to read more books on this subject.

For the newspaper is still in the stage of meager profits, there is a profit, but it is still very little, the reading room provided on the first floor of the small building is expected to recover some costs, at present there is only one bookshelf on this floor with books on the people who come here to sit and read.
