Chapter 318: Talking about cooperation
"I heard that the little boy has opened a steam weaving workshop, which can produce hundreds of fabrics a day, and my sister and I have come to seek cooperation ......!"
Lu Ze sat on the chair and said without humility or arrogance: "My father is in the textile business in Surabaya County, there are many shops in Surabaya County, and the family also employs a lot of workers to work, so I can cooperate with the little boy to sell the cloth produced by the steam textile factory to Surabaya County!" ”
"My son can set up a store in Surabaya County by himself, why should he cooperate with you?"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled and deliberately made things difficult.
This sentence really embarrassed Lu Ze!
He and his sister were ordered by their father to see if they could seek cooperation!
He also wondered why their family was looking for cooperation when they had already done a lot of business in Surabaya County?
However, his father pouted, saying that his vision was too small, as long as he climbed the road of the little son, their Lu family would be glorious for generations in the future!
Although I don't understand what it means, my father's fate is hard to disobey, so I can only take my sister to Xianyang!
Other girls' girls only embroider and practice cooking at home, but his sister is different, she has been learning to do business with her father since she was a child, and the abacus is even more slippery than his eldest son!
In addition, they are also sharp-toothed, so Dad let the two of them go out together!
"Xiao Gongzi can indeed open a shop in Surabaya County by himself, but our Lu family has thousands of female workers, all of whom are well-skilled, and it is definitely the largest textile workshop in the area of Surabaya County......!"
Just when Lu Ze was embarrassed and didn't know how to persuade him, Lu Pheasant on the side smiled and said, "We have already gone to Xiao Gongzi's sweater shop to see it, and the supply exceeds demand!" ”
"Yes, the enthusiasm of the people to buy is relatively high!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded.
"Isn't it because of a lack of manpower?"
Lu Pheasant's question was extremely sharp and straight to the point, which made Xiao Zhengtai slightly surprised.
That's right, the production of sweaters has just begun, and the female workers who can weave in Xianyang City are employed.
But compared to the needs of the people, these people simply do not have enough manpower.
"Well, it's a bit related!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded in acknowledgement.
"My brother and I are going to help the little boy solve this problem this time, just now my brother also said, our Cui family has the largest workshop in Surabaya County, there are not 1,000 skilled female workers, there are 800, and the sweaters that can be knitted every day are definitely enough for the people nearby to buy, which is much faster than a factory in Xianyang!"
"Xiao Gongzi cares about the world, and he must hope that the people can wear warm sweaters in the shortest possible time, so we are willing to cooperate with Xiao Gongzi!"
Lu Pheasant smiled faintly, his eyes flashing with a fine light.
Then, the two siblings looked at Ying Feiyu with expectant eyes!
"I wonder if Miss Lu has ever been married?"
After waiting for a long time, the two of them waited for such a brainless sentence.
"Marriage...... Get married? ”
"This ...... This......? ”
The two siblings looked confused.
It's obviously about cooperation, but suddenly it's about marriage again?
Lu Pheasant's cheeks were red!
Normally, a woman is less than ten years old when someone comes to the door to propose marriage, and at the age of twelve or thirteen, she can already pass through the door!
There are very few people like her who haven't married at the age of fifteen!
Either it's stupid and disabled, or it's too ugly!
And she thinks that she is a hundred spirits, and her limbs are sound, and her length is okay, I don't know why her father didn't say kiss to her for a long time!
Even the Surabaya County Order, who had a good relationship with his father, asked to marry, but his father politely refused!
On weekdays, I told her that in the future, it will be the life of great wealth and nobility, and the whole family will follow her!
But she never felt that there was any wealth!
A child of a merchant's family, even if he marries a well-connected family, how rich can he be?
At most, it's just to make more money!
"My sister is still young, and my parents still want to stay with me for a few more years, and they have never been married!"
After reacting, Lu Ze opened his mouth and replied.
"Uh-huh......!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to ask, "Do you know Liu Bang?" ”
"Liu Bang?"
The two looked at each other and scratched their heads in confusion.
"I don't know!"
"I've never heard of it!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengtai was even more convinced that part of history had indeed been changed.
Normally, Liu Bang is the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion, and Lu Gong is good friends with the Surabaya County Commander, even if the two of them don't know each other, they should have heard of it!
But seeing that the two of them are very unfamiliar with this name, presumably Liu Bang is not in Surabaya County at all!
"Good! My son can deliver the processed wool thread to Surabaya County and hand over the business of Surabaya County to you, but I have one condition! ”
After a while, Xiao Zhengtai shook Erlang's leg and spoke.
"Really leave it to us?"
The two siblings were a little surprised, thinking that it would take a lot of words to agree, but they really didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Great, little boy, you say, as long as our brother and sister can do it, we will definitely agree!"
Lu Ze didn't think about it, and immediately responded.
"You two brothers and sisters stay!"
Xiao Zhengtai pointed to the two and said.
"What? Let's stay? ”
The two of them pointed to the tip of their noses in surprise.
"That's right......!"
Ying Feiyu nodded, and pretended to be serious: "The steam weaving factory and sweater shop have just been established, and there is no suitable person to manage them. ”
Since the establishment of the steam weaving factory, it has always been taken care of by the craftsmen of the Huang Yuan faction.
Later, with the expansion of the factory, it must be necessary to find a person who knows how to do business to manage!
The shop needs to meet people of different ages, and it needs a smart person to cook, and they are the two siblings who came at the right time!
Of course, if he wasn't afraid of Lu Pheasant's suspicions, he might be left alone!
"Little boy, you ...... You asked our brother and sister to run the steam weaving factory and the shop? ”
Lu Ze's face was full of disbelief.
Lu Pheasant is similar, a pair of beautiful eyes blinked, as if he didn't believe it was true!
It was the first time they had met the little boy, so why did the little boy trust them so much and leave his property to them to take care of?
"What? Don't want to? ”
"No, no, no, little boy, you ...... You just believe in us? ”
"Isn't the little boy afraid that we will learn the technology and return to Surabaya County to do it ourselves?"
Lu Ze and Lu Pheasant asked suspiciously.
"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, as for ...... Technology? ”
Xiao Zhengtai couldn't help laughing, "It's not that my son underestimates you, this steam engine is really not something that ordinary people can build, even if you master the technology of making a steam engine, you don't have enough iron to build it!" ”
You must know that all iron ore is in the hands of the imperial court, and the people are not allowed to open mines privately.
Aside from making some commonly used agricultural machinery, you can't find too many iron tools!
