The factory director, Old Jack, knew the purpose of Yang Xi’s visit. He had long wanted to transfer ownership of this clothing factory, but no one had taken it over.
"Hello." Looking at the visitor, Yang Xi smiled and said, "This is my boss, Qin Yun."
"Oh, Mr. Qin, it must be God’s plan that we et here," said Factory Director Jack with a big smile.
"Hello." Qin Yun shook hands with Jack.
Then Jack took them to visit his clothing factory.
At this mont, many people in the clothing factory saw Qin Yun and his group.
"Is the factory director going to transfer this clothing factory?"
"I wonder what the new boss will be like?"
"Will this clothing factory be closed?"
Many of these employees were worried.
They were sowhat aware of the factory’s transfer plans. Previously, others had co to inspect the place, but Factory Director Jack had never been so enthusiastic.
It was easy to guess that the likelihood of a takeover by the previous people was not high, but now, seeing Jack so enthusiastic, it’s possible that the transfer might really happen.
Most of these people have the characteristics of Hua Country nationals. In the US clothing factory industry, Chinese people, especially Chinese won, occupy a considerable proportion.
"Director Li, is it true that this clothing factory is going to be leased out?"
At this mont, an employee looked at a middle-aged woman in work attire and asked.
iyuan Clothing Factory is huge, with 1,500 employees inside. Among them are three deputy directors, and Li Xini is one of them, the only Chinese deputy director.
"Don’t inquire about things that haven’t happened yet." Hearing her inquiry, Li Xini scolded.
Even so, there was a trace of worry on her face at this ti.
"Xiao Jing is still in school. If the clothing factory closes and we move to another industry, we might be laid off. If we’re laid off, what will happen to Jing?"
In recent years, the physical industry in the United States hasn’t been prosperous. Nobody knows how many clothing factories have closed. If they were laid off, finding a job would be challenging, especially as a Chinese person, with wages likely to drop.
Currently, the factory isn’t doing well, and wages have been continuously cut. She can tolerate it, but if she loses her job, she’s unsure what to do about her daughter’s tuition.
With a worried expression, Li Xini could only hope the clothing factory could continue to operate.
As she was lost in thought, Factory Director Jack called her over.
Since Qin Yun was of Chinese descent, it was best to have a fellow Chinese person accompany and introduce the place.
...
"Mr. Qin, this is our Deputy Director, Li Xini, also from the beautiful Hua Country."
Factory Director Jack explained with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Qin."
Looking at Qin Yun, Li Xini hurriedly addressed him.
Standing in front of Qin Yun, there was a noticeable hint of astonishnt in her eyes.
Qin Yun looked so young, probably no more than twenty years old. At such an age, he ca to take over such a large clothing factory?
"Hello." Looking at Li Xini, Qin Yun nodded.
The group looked around the clothing factory. Li Xini continually introduced everything, knowing more about the factory than Old Jack himself.
"Mr. Qin, I just replaced a batch of machines in this factory three years ago. There’s no issue with the quality. We can sign an agreent, and if any problems arise later, I can compensate for any losses," Old Jack said with a smile.
He and Yang Xi had been old friends, knowing each other for seven years. Yang Xi was purpose-driven in his actions. Bringing Qin Yun over this ti was a real possibility for leasing his clothing factory.
In recent years, the factory’s performance had been declining, barely maintaining non-loss operations, and he didn’t want to run it anymore.
Qin Yun carefully inspected it. The factory facilities and equipnt were indeed comprehensive, with excellent layouts in various areas, at least more complete than the clothing factories he had back in his ho country.
Crucially, the area here was quite large, with so vacant spaces that could expand the workforce to two thousand!
Currently, iyuan Clothing Factory had fifteen hundred workers, but only about three hundred were present, with most at ho resting.
The factory was not doing well, and these workers were basically on duty for a day and then resting for several days.
In fact, so clothing factories in Qin Yun’s hotown, Qingwu County, operated like this. Due to lack of business, vacations were common.
After inspecting the place, Qin Yun spoke up, "Jack, we need to consider this for a bit. We’ll give you a response within three days at the latest."
He was quite satisfied with iyuan Clothing Factory, but they had several other places to check out.
"Oh, consideration is a must. I hope we can plan a cooperation," Old Jack maintained his smile as he warmly sent Qin Yun and his group off.
"Three days, huh?"
Beside Old Jack, Li Xini thought silently to herself, unable to suppress her worries.
She had no idea about the specific intentions of this very young-looking President Qin.
After three days, if Qin Yun really leased iyuan Clothing Factory, they might maintain the status quo, but it was very likely they would lay off staff, or perhaps lay them all off and hire a new batch of workers.
In this scenario, her chances of staying and continuing as a deputy director were slim.
...
"President Qin, this iyuan Clothing Factory basically ets all our requirents for Chongchuang Clothing," Yang Xi said while walking on the road. "What I’ve learned about this factory is almost the sa, without much difference."
Qin Yun nodded and said, "No rush, let’s look at the remaining ones first."
The two continued visiting one clothing factory after another, while Li Zhiruo and Zheng Qin went to find clothing stores.
There were thirty clothing stores, which were much easier to find, but it would still take so ti.
Next, Qin Yun’s plan quickly unfolded.
On his first day in the United States, Qin Yun viewed iyuan Clothing Factory.
On the second day, he saw three more.
On the third day, he checked out the final three.
...
This was a standalone villa. Inside, a man was cooking, and a girl was reading in a room.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a weary middle-aged woman walked in—it was Li Xini.
"Mom, you’re back?" Hearing the commotion, the girl in the room imdiately ca out.
The girl looked petite, with a next-door-neighbor feel. Her face also seed familiar—she was the Chen Jing Qin Yun had t on the train earlier.
Chen Jing turned out to be Li Xini’s daughter.
"Honey, dinner’s almost ready."
In the kitchen, Li Xini’s husband, Chen Dazhi, said with a smile.
The situation of Chen Dazhi’s family was sowhat complicated. Li Xini was a deputy director of a large factory with a decent salary, and she had worked abroad for a long ti.
Chen Dazhi used to work in his ho country, alongside his parents—Chen Jing’s grandparents—taking care of Chen Jing as well.
After Chen Jing was admitted to a school in the United States, Chen Dazhi also ca to the US to take care of Chen Jing.
This sumr vacation, Chen Jing went back to visit her grandparents.
