Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 399 Jiang Xingye is becoming increasingly inhuman.
Luo Jinhao felt that Jiang Xingye was becoming increasingly inhuman.

Seeing his beaming face, Luo Jinhao wanted to tease him, "Brother Ye, do you know what kind of reputation you have in the Shangjiang Brigade right now?"

"What reputation?"

"Everyone says that ever since you got married, you haven't let Xu Zhiqing get out of bed. You wouldn't be doing this just to get Xu Zhiqing pregnant, would you? Are you afraid she'll run away? Let me tell you, the more you do this, the more likely Xu Zhiqing is to run away..."

Jiang Xingye kicked him, and Luo Jinhao couldn't dodge in time, his calf cramping from the pain.
"Damn it!" Luo Jinhao hugged his leg. "Why the hell did you kick me? I didn't say those words."

“I heard you say that.” Jiang Xingye grabbed Luo Jinhao by the collar. “I know you’re all jealous of me, thinking I married the best wife in the world, and you all want to see me make a fool of myself. But, too bad, my wife just loves me.”

Luo Jinhao's teeth ached from the sourness.

Since Xu Qinghuan was alright and the couple had a happy occasion, he was relieved. "James from the United States sent a letter saying he wanted to speak with us on the phone, mainly to say that we shouldn't have sold the same clothes to others."

Several foreign trade companies in the United States placed orders and signed supply contracts with the Shangjiang Brigade, thus thwarting James's plan to monopolize the market in the United States and become the general agent.

He was furious and embarrassed, and his demand to speak with them had been going on for a long time.

Jiang Xingye refused to accept his subsequent orders, and he couldn't sit still any longer.

“If we still don’t talk to him, he might come over.” Luo Jinhao was a little confused as to why Jiang Xingye was so reluctant to do business with James and was always so cautious.

"Let him come. Now that he's here, we'll treat him well."

James's arrival was quite unfortunate. Two weeks later, when he came from the United States, he happened to run into a group of people from the Shanghai Textile Factory. The three parties met, and the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

James's face darkened when he saw Chen Hongtao. He said to Xu Qinghuan, "You all keep saying I'm dishonest, but you're the same. In fact, they didn't sign a contract with us. You should know that verbal orders have no legal effect."

James believed that Xu Qinghuan had summoned Chen Hongtao and his group to ambush him here.

Xu Qinghuan didn't explain. She held the warm water that Jiang Xingye had handed her and drank it slowly.

After taking several sips, she put down her drink and said, "That's right, verbal orders can't be used to hold anyone accountable. We reduced our supply to you not because you weren't honest. After all, we signed an agreement, and you've been fulfilling it without any breach of contract."

"Then why are you reducing your orders to us?" James was very dissatisfied.

The four sisters' clothing designs are novel and inexpensive, making them a huge hit in the United States.

Furthermore, at a famous awards ceremony not long ago, the newly crowned Best Actress wore a haute couture gown designed and handcrafted by the Four Sisters Garment Factory, which perfectly accentuated her figure and temperament, making her the darling of the spotlight that night.

From then on, the four sisters' clothing became a top luxury brand in the United States, and as the market grew, prices soared, resulting in astonishing profits.

But James received fewer and fewer goods, while the other foreign trade companies received more.

He was very angry.

“If you think we should raise prices, I can consider it, but you can’t refuse my order,” James said, sounding aggrieved.

He was also worried that the cooperation would fall through, so he didn't dare to say anything too harsh.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Our factory is under expansion and we are short-staffed, but orders keep increasing, and we have no choice."

She asked Zheng Siqi to take James to visit the factory. Since James had come in person, he would definitely take some goods back with him. In any case, there was no reason to let him leave empty-handed.

James understood this, otherwise he wouldn't have made the trip himself.

After the person left, Chen Hongtao took the initiative to introduce him to Xu Qinghuan, saying, "This is our Factory Director Lu."

Lu Cong'an was initially displeased with Chen Hongtao's words. He didn't ask Qiao Huaqing, who, after becoming deputy factory director, mainly managed production, while sales and accounting remained in Lu Cong'an's hands. Later, he met Gong Zhijie and complained a few times. Gong Zhijie subtly suggested that he come to Shangjiang Brigade to take a look, and only then did he realize that something seemed amiss.

He then turned to ask Qiao Huaqing, adding that time had already been wasted.

The textile factory is struggling to make ends meet, so he bears a great deal of responsibility.

"Director Lu, hello!" Xu Qinghuan shook hands with him reservedly. "You've come all this way, thank you for your hard work!"

Before Lu Cong'an could speak, Chen Hongtao laughed and said, "As long as Xu Zhiqing is willing to lend a hand, we won't feel like we're working hard. Speaking of which, Xu Zhiqing's family is also from Shanghai, so we're not outsiders."

He handed Xu Qinghuan a brand-new military water bottle, saying, "I heard that you, the educated youth, are getting married. This is nothing, please accept it."

Upon seeing this, Lu Cong'an frowned deeply.

He asked Chen Hongtao to prepare a gift, but to his surprise, Chen prepared a military water bottle with the words "Serve the People" painted on it in red. What does that mean?
Are Double Happiness products sold out?

Xu Qinghuan smiled but didn't answer. "We're talking business, not feelings. Business matters are for my man to discuss directly. I don't care about this."

She shifted her position, handing the main stage over to Jiang Xingye.

Chen Hongtao was immediately displeased.

Jiang Xingye wasn't necessarily fixated on this business. The quality of goods sourced from Shanghai wouldn't be better than those from the Anguang County Textile Factory. After all, the Anguang County Textile Factory had switched to looms produced by Shangjiang Machinery Factory, resulting in much better quality products.

The price won't be low, and even if it is, it won't be cheap with shipping costs.

Chen Hongtao quoted a high price, which included shipping costs.

“If Manager Chen still quotes the same price as before, this deal definitely won’t go through,” Jiang Xingye said.

Lu Cong'an hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Manager Jiang, we'll give you a new quote. We were inconsiderate with the previous price; we've brought a new one this time."

As he spoke, he quickly handed the price list to Jiang Xingye, "Take a look!"

Chen Hongtao felt that Lu Cong'an had already condescended to do so.

Jiang Xingye, a country bumpkin, started a village-run factory and now acts all high and mighty, wanting to be on par with managers of big factories in Shanghai.

Just ridiculous.

"Manager Jiang, putting everything else aside, you certainly can't ignore our sincerity, right?" Chen Hongtao said sarcastically.

Jiang Xingye glanced at it and handed it to Qiao Xinyu.

Qiao Xinyu, supporting her pregnant belly, carefully reviewed the price list before placing it on the coffee table.

The coffee table was made by a furniture factory, and the surrounding sofa incorporated elements of the Luohan bed, which was very novel and comfortable to sit on.

Lu Cong'an was a little anxious. "Manager Jiang, this price really can't go any lower. We initially thought this batch of products was for sale overseas, and the production cost was very high. In addition, there are shipping costs from there, so we are definitely not as competitive as the prices offered by the textile factories here."
However, we can guarantee that the fabric quality is absolutely excellent; it's the best we've ever made.

Jiang Xingye said, "As you just heard, the vast majority of our products are sold overseas. Our brand targets the high-end market overseas. If the quality is poor, we simply cannot enter the market."

It's past midnight, my darlings, enjoy reading!
