Chapter 62: Running Relationships
After breakfast, Xu Xuecheng asked Liu Chengdong to take him to find a person called "Lao Yu", who was a local "private worker", similar to an intermediary in later generations.
Everyone calls him Lao Yu, not because he is very old, but because he convinces everyone, I haven't heard of anyone who takes money and doesn't do things.
Xu Xuecheng thought that such a person with "doors and roads" would live a very nourishing life, but he didn't expect that he lived in a dilapidated house, which was the kind of tiled house in the 50s, and the roof was leaking.
But the reality is that Lao Yu now lives in a dilapidated house that has not yet appreciated.
Lao Yu's family has an old lady who is sick in bed all the year round, and his wife is a worker in a small state-owned factory.
Lao Yu was a small clerk of the urban construction bureau in the city before, and it stands to reason that the city has developed so fast under the support of policies in the past two years, and the urban renewal bureau should have a lot of oil and water, but Lao Yu's "private work" was reported and was fired from the unit.
It was difficult to find other jobs after being fired these years, and Lao Yu simply regarded "pulling private work" as his main business, anyway, he was well-connected, and he was here when he was a small fishing village before, so it can be said that he is a witness to the expansion of this city.
When Xu Xuecheng saw Lao Yu, at the door of the tiled house, he was squatting with his back to him by a stove, on which was a medicine jar, and the strong smell of Chinese herbs filled the whole house.
"Lao Yu, I'm stewing medicine for my aunt," Liu Chengdong shouted from afar.
When he looked back, Xu Xuecheng saw clearly that this was a man in his thirties, and it was estimated that he was a little old after being destroyed by life.
"Dongzi, aren't you going back to your hometown" I saw Xu Xuecheng again in a blink of an eye, "Who is this?"
"Xu Xuecheng, my current boss"
"Oh~" Lao Yu replied, "Then what is the matter with me?"
"It's not that I'm looking for you to have something, our boss is looking for you" Liu Chengdong still looked very grateful to Lao Yu, after all, without him, Liu Chengdong might have starved to death in this southern city.
Lao Yu probably expected that Liu Chengdong brought Xu Xuecheng to him, "Then this boss will come into the house and talk!"
Xu Xuecheng waved his hand, "No need, just say it here, don't disturb the old man,"
"That's okay" Lao Yu didn't force it, after all, the boss may not be used to smelling the smell of medicine in the house.
"I want to open a factory, is there a way?" Xu Xuecheng inquired clearly, he was always a person who didn't like to beat around the bush.
Lao Yu was not surprised to hear Xu Xuecheng say this, maybe many people have come to ask him this question these days.
"Well, what kind of factory are you going to open?"
Xu Xuecheng saw that he didn't refuse, knowing that there was a play,
"Garment factory, I need factory space, workers, raw materials and sewing machines, can I do it?"
Xu Xuecheng was ready to invest in a big factory at the beginning, firstly, his own funds were not enough, this time he took 50,000 yuan out, and the working capital in the store was already exhausted, and secondly, it was not the best time, he clearly remembered that the next few years were only the initial stage of the development of the city, and there were not enough fish in the water, not enough fat.
Lao Yu thought for a while, "I can do it, but it must cost a lot."
"It's no problem"
Fifty thousand is not much, but in this year, it is definitely not less, and in the future life, two more zeros must be added.
"Okay, then I'll contact you first, how many people do you want?"
"Five, five sewing machines, and then find enough space" Xu Xuecheng thought about it, well, probably a small black workshop is such a structure.
"Okay, you go back first, give me two days, and I'll look for you where you live in two days"
When he went back, Xu Xuecheng went around to Luohu Port, which was actually not far from the train station, and he didn't find it when he came.
This port will develop into one of China's largest outbound land ports, Xu Xuecheng stood here and looked at the past, and could see the traffic over there, only one river on both sides, like two worlds, but soon the deep Z will develop so that people can't tell which side is the inland and which side is Hong Kong.
In the next two days, Xu Xuecheng was not idle, and under the leadership of Liu Chengdong, he ran Luohu all over, leaving his footprints on the most prosperous streets in the future.
Xu Xuecheng found that the speaker Liu said a big thing, he said that the stalls here all took the goods from him, and Xu Xuecheng found another second-class dealer, the head of the "Toad Sun", who was also distributing goods to a group of people on the west side of Luohu and the Shenzhen River.
Xu Xuecheng asked him for a drink and said that he was willing to supply, but Toad Sun didn't agree immediately, but said to take a look, Xu Xuecheng was naturally not in a hurry, if he agreed immediately, it would make people feel abnormal.
Lao Yu's movements were very fast, and he went to the guest house to find Xu Xuecheng in two days.
"Boss Xu, people and machines are connected, people are retired from the state-owned textile factory, and so are machines, second-hand but they can definitely be used, let's go and see the venue now, right?"
"Okay, show me the way, and let my men carry you. "In the past two days, Xu Xuecheng has to walk around, and naturally there are indispensable means of transportation, and all he can think of is bicycles, but he can't buy them without bicycle tickets.
Xu Xuecheng, as a person from later generations, how could he be stumped by this little problem, can't I still rent it if I can't buy it, so to say that I spent 20 yuan to rent two "old phoenixes" from outside, and I still took a letter of introduction from the county party committee to reluctantly rent it.
Lao Yu's place is not very far from the guest house, about 20 minutes by bicycle, near the border river is a village called Fishermen's Village, where fortifications were built when the RB people occupied it in the past, and now it is empty, Lao Yu has contacted the village committee here.
Xu Xuecheng took a look, it's really not bad, because it is a fortification, there is a distance from the living area of the villagers, on a small dirt slope, the place is quite hidden, not small, there are seventy or eighty square meters, it is simply a natural small workshop land.
"Okay, I think this place is very good, let's settle here"
The rest will be handed over to Lao Yu, with Xu Xuecheng's two broken Cantonese, he feels that he should not come out and be embarrassed.
The site, population, machines, and raw materials have all been done, and these are all added up, Xu Xuecheng only used up less than a thousand, this is still a batch of cloth, in Xu Xuecheng's view, this is not as high as the deposit paid to "a certain treasure" in later generations, and the cost is too low!
Xu Xuecheng stuffed Lao Yu with two hundred yuan, which was an "intermediary fee", but Lao Yu didn't expect Xu Xuecheng to give so much.
"Don't be too busy shirking, there's one more thing, I want to go over there, is there a way?" Xu Xuecheng pointed to the other side of the Boundary River.
"I'll try, can you say something else, by the way, you have a letter of introduction, right?" Lao Yu saw that Xu Xuecheng still had something to do with him, so he didn't shirk it anymore, there was a bedridden old lady at home, and the reality of life couldn't help him to be hypocritical.
Xu Xuecheng took out a letter of introduction issued by the county party committee, "Yes, yes, for you"
"From the county party committee?" Although the address on the letter of introduction is not known, he knows that the people who can issue a letter of introduction from the county party committee are not ordinary people, and it seems that this little boss's family is not an ordinary person!
Xu Xuecheng didn't know that in Lao Yu's heart, he had become a shiny "red second generation", Xu Xuecheng took out another paper package and gave it to Lao Yu.
"What is this?" was square, and Xu Xuecheng didn't say what it was.
Lao Yu tore a corner of the paper package, his eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly closed it again, "I don't need so much!"
Xu Xuecheng smiled, "Forty-five thousand, if you can pass, give me all the Hong Kong dollars, and the fee will be deducted from the middle, okay?"
Lao Yu swallowed, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"
Xu Xuecheng smiled~ "You won't, you don't dare"
