Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 144: The Joining of the Partner

Liang Haowen and Ma Qing stood at the door of Fulinmen, looking at the Zheng brothers going away.

"That's it. It's really cheap for them."

"Brother Liang, we should know how to be content. This time, the Zheng family bought two shops at a 50% premium. As soon as the money arrives, I will immediately buy three more shops in the market. Two will become three. What's wrong with that?"

"Didn't you say that it's hard to buy a shop now?" Liang Haowen felt a little strange. Ma Qing didn't say that the day before yesterday.

"That's based on the total number of more than 70 shops we have. If it's just two or three, we won't have to worry about not being able to buy them." Ma Qing felt that Liang Haowen's business acumen was indeed not very good, so he should just stick to being a lawyer in the future.

Two weeks later, Ma Qing and the Zheng family completed the transaction of the two shops. After quickly exchanging the money for shops, they found a leisurely afternoon to visit Zheng Yumian.

"This is the toy gadget you mentioned." Zheng Yumian fiddled with the sample brought by Ma Qing. With his keen business acumen, he immediately spotted the highlight of the sample.

"Yes, these are the little gadgets. They are all invented by me and have international patents. I have an active mind and I will become a great inventor in the future." Ma Qing was a little proud and started to brag about himself.

"Mr. Ma, can I visit your factory?" Zheng Yumian continued to play with the toys in his hands and suddenly made a request to Ma Qing.

Ma Qing was stunned: "Ah, that's fine, I didn't expect Zheng Sheng to be interested in these things, then when are we going so I can make arrangements."

"No need to make arrangements. It's still early. Let's go now." Zheng Yumian made a decision in a short time. Ever since his cousin married the daughter of a jewelry tycoon, his position in the family has become delicate and increasingly marginalized, but he was unwilling to accept this. Now might be an opportunity.

"This is an injection molding machine, this is a blow molding machine, this is a grooving machine, and this is the new plastic coloring method our factory has adopted. We have integrated the heating and stirring processes into one. This is also the secret to our brighter colorants. We modified this machine ourselves..." Ma Qing took Zheng Yumian for a stroll in the workshop of Yaguang Toy Factory.

Ma Qing pointed at the conveyor belt and said, "We have basically completed the semi-automation transformation. The next step will be to further improve the management method. Look at our workers, not only has their efficiency improved, but their actual work is also easier than before."

Zheng Yumian looked at the busy scene in the workshop. The workers were all wearing uniform work clothes and gloves, working in an orderly manner on the assembly line with a very professional look. He couldn't help but nod secretly and made the final decision in his heart.

In Ma Qing's office, Ma Qing smiled and said, "How is it, Mr. Zheng has seen it, right? I can fully guarantee the quality of my products. I wonder when Mr. Zheng can help me make an appointment with a big trader in Hong Kong."

"Mr. Ma, I've decided. I want to buy shares. Once I buy shares, Yaguang Toy Factory will be my own business. I will personally handle foreign trade matters." Zheng Yumian stated his purpose. What he saw today had a great impact on him. "Name a price."

Ma Qing was stunned. This was not the result he wanted. His products were selling well now. His Rongfa Trading had a huge number of orders this month. Yaguang Toy Factory had already embarked on a road to success. Although he wanted more room for development, he had no intention of bringing in investors right away.

"Mr. Zheng, you're joking. How can the Zheng family appreciate such a small show of mine?" Ma Qing politely declined.

"It's not the Zheng family that wants to invest, it's me who wants to invest. Mr. Ma, you may not understand the internal situation of a big family like ours, so I won't say much, but I really want to become a partner with you. After all, Liang Haowen's current situation is really good."

Zheng Yumian found another reason for himself. The skyrocketing value of Liang Haowen in recent years must be the result of the man in front of him. "You name a price, and I'm determined to invest in it." Zheng Yumian said confidently.

Ma Qing was feeling a little annoyed. How could such a thing happen? It seemed that he was too impatient. In his attempt to expand sales, he ended up getting into trouble.

Ma Qing stood up, walked to the side, his hand unconsciously placed on a radio next to him, and unconsciously turned the FM knob. Radio, electronic products, this year is 68 years old. Next year, Samsung will establish Samsung Electronics and will launch the first tube radio. In 1970, it manufactured a portable transistor radio.

In his previous life, Ma Qing was very angry about the different treatments of exploding mobile phones. Now that he has come to this era, he might as well fight it himself.

"20% of the shares, valued at 200 million, of which 100 million is capital injection and 100 million is mine." Ma Qing made the decision without any hesitation. If Zheng Yumian had the courage to do so, there would be no problem in helping him get rich.

"..." Zheng Yumian felt that Ma Qing took him for granted, and actually offered such an outrageous price. "Can I ask how much did Mr. Ma spend on this factory?"

"The land, factory buildings, machinery and equipment, a total of more than 500,000 yuan." Ma Qing said honestly. You can tell the truth once you check this, there is no room for doubt.

"Then quote me a price of 1000 million. What do you think of me?" Zheng Yumian shouted angrily.

"Mr. Zheng, don't worry." Ma Qing took out a stack of documents from the safe in the office and handed them to Zheng Yumian. "This is the patent document for the bamboo dragonfly and the gyro dual-purpose gun."

"This is the patent document for the card slot digital push disk"

“This is the patent document for the sticky bubble gun.”

“This is the patent document for portable Gobang”

"Mr. Zheng, the factory is indeed only worth 500,000 yuan. It was built not long ago, and its production capacity and sales volume have not yet increased. I won't explain this aspect, but I think Mr. Zheng's focus is not on the factory itself. How much do you think these patents are worth?"

Zheng Yumian took the patent document in his hand and read it again and again. He heard Ma Qing's voice in his ear, "In fact, these small inventions are only a small part of my inventions in my spare time. There are more inventions. I can make a promise that all my inventions in the field of plastic toys can be licensed to Yaguang Factory. Do you think it is worth 1000 million?"

Zheng Yumian quickly calculated in his mind, "One week, give me one week, 200 million, 2% of the shares."

"Let me make it clear first, these four patents belong to Yaguang Factory, but my future inventions will belong to me. I also guarantee that all inventions related to plastic toys can be licensed to Yaguang Factory, but the patent rights are mine, and I can also license them to other companies." Ma Qing said more aggressively.

Zheng Yumian closed his eyes in pain. It was too aggrieved, but he had no choice. "Sign the contract and write down all your promises."
