Chapter 32: Making Friends

Since having business dealings with Ryan Shoe Factory, business has gradually boomed.

But the turnover of funds has become a problem. The distance of thousands of miles, there are fewer goods, not enough for the road, and more and no funds. One day I went on a business trip to the city train station to buy a ticket, and I met a relative in my hometown, who I called her aunt according to my generation.

My aunt's surname is Zhu, called Huijuan, 47 years old, when she was in her hometown, she was the only consignee of the brigade's sales point, and each brigade had a consignment point at that time, and the unified purchase from the supply and marketing cooperatives was owned by the brigade, and the consignment enjoyed the treatment of the general cadres of the brigade. In order to make it convenient for the masses to buy things, I often push a rack car to the countryside to sell, and my mother is a sister.

Later, her husband Su Zhenliang changed jobs and was assigned to work at the railway station in City C, and she also came to City C with her husband. There has been no contact so far.

The aunt is loyal and virtuous, warm and generous, has 2 boys and 1 girl, and the eldest daughter Fangying has been assigned a job to do service work with the train. The eldest son, Su Ji, teaches at the railway station school. The junior Su Fei is in high school. It is a happy family.

Aunt Huijuan never dreamed that I would go to City C to do business, and she was very close to her, so she was very happy to see me and asked me to go to her house for dinner after a business trip.

A few days later, I returned to City C on a business trip, and the next day I took the gifts to the family home of the train station, and was guided to the home on the third floor of my aunt, who was on leave and cleaning up the housework at home. The two felt very cordial when they met.

I called my uncle to get off work early, saying that there were guests from my hometown, and I asked my uncle to buy a few vegetables to take home.

My uncle was a warm-hearted, resolute worker, a good friend, helpful, and served as the section chief of the station department.

Before it was time to leave work, my uncle left work early, bought a few vegetables and returned home, and was very happy to see me.

The aunt fried a few more hot dishes, and the grandfather drank wine.

At the banquet table, the aunt told her uncle about the past when she was a salesman at home:

In the big collectives, the countryside was very poor, and the peasants did not solve the problem of food and clothing at all. Every time I went to the villages to sell goods, my mother would let her eat at my house when she passed by my house. She is closer to her than her own sister, and my mother makes clothes and shoes for her children, and sometimes helps her take care of them. When I came to City C, my mother gave her 30 yuan to subsidize the family. The uncle was stunned for a moment, and the second monk was ...... When my uncle joined the army, he only took a few dollars a month, which did nothing for the family. What's more, there are old and young, a few mouths need to eat, headache and brain fever still need to see a doctor.

Once the eldest daughter Fangying suffered from pneumonia and was hospitalized for a few days.

My aunt asked me why I was not the secretary of the brigade properly and went to C City to do business? I heard that the branch secretary and the director did not agree with your resignation?

I said, "I came secretly and didn't say goodbye because I resigned to them, and they didn't approve it." The official seal is that not long after I entered the city, the bark of the village chief's house was scraped and the wheat straw stack was also lit. When the brigade needed to open a letter and report, and when I couldn't find me, the branch secretary came to C City to find me, and took the opportunity to hand over the official seal to the branch secretary.

My uncle is an upright person, and he is a soldier-turned-professional, with a bold personality, and he drinks happily when he meets for the first time, and he is very happy.

During the banquet, I told them that there was a shortage of funds, and my uncle said on the spot that he was willing to help.

It turned out that Kong Jixiang, director of the Xiangyang District Credit Cooperative, had a close relationship with him and was about to retire, so he could get a batch of loans through Director Kong.

My uncle is a soldier who has been transferred to a career, and he is an acute son, he does things quickly and does what he says. The next day, he found Director Kong of Xiangyang District, and after explaining the situation, Director Kong agreed, but he must have a business license and tax registration certificate to handle it.

Under the introduction of my uncle, I handed over the business license and tax registration certificate to Director Kong, wrote the loan application, and waited for good news.

When I returned to the sales department, I kept thinking that the storefront, manufacturers, and funds were all ready, but if one person wanted to become bigger, he couldn't take care of it. After thinking about it again and again, I decided to ask my nephew to help.

Zu Xiang is the eldest sister's second son, who has just graduated from high school and has not yet found his dream job.

The nephew is 1.8 meters tall, graceful, dignified, flexible, serious, and a good seedling for business. I took the time to go home and explain the matter to my wife, who also thought it was okay. I went to my eldest sister's house and explained the situation to my brother-in-law, and the two readily agreed, and said that they would be more relieved to let my nephew follow me.

The next day, my nephew followed me into City C.

After a few days of hard work, Director Kong finally approved the loan.

After signing and demarcating, 100,000 yuan was deposited into my account.
