Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Isn't Chapter 127 a bit too presumptuous?
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Zhen Xi.

There's no doubt he was deliberately showing off; people in Hong Kong during this period often wear white suits and pointed leather shoes.

He was born in Hong Kong, so this is probably his everyday style.

The next moment, Zhen Xi said, "Which one of you is the factory manager of the food factory? I'm prepared to invest and help you build the largest food company in Jiangcheng!"

Zhen Xi spoke in Mandarin, which everyone understood clearly.

However, no one showed any joy or shock; they all watched him in silence.

What's wrong with this person?
Why does he immediately ask for investment? Hu Ze thought to himself, investment must mean investment funds. They want to give them this small workshop and turn it into the largest food company in Jiangcheng.

Is this person out of their mind?

Last night, Dad came home and said that some people from Gangcheng were coming to the factory to visit and offer their condolences, and he was one of them.

But isn't it too presumptuous to start talking about investment right away?
Even Old Master Lin frowned. How could Zhen Xi, this young man, be so unreliable?
Besides, what is he doing here?
As a result, everyone looked at Zhen Xi with strange eyes.

Zhen Xi felt like a monkey!

In a typical situation like this, shouldn't the factory manager immediately come out, express his gratitude with tears in his eyes, and inquire in detail about how to invest?
As long as the Zhen family invests, there will be no unprofitable business.

This simple, rough little factory will take off.

He will also achieve two goals at once.

My father always said that we shouldn't act rashly here, so he volunteered to be the old man's stepping stone.

Whetstones and probing stones are both stones, so what's the difference?
However, the scene was quiet.

Even Uncle Lin was looking at him with surprise.

What, is investment not allowed here?
However, Uncle Lin accepted the donations and investments from the Zhen family.

And because of this, they were treated as VIPs.

Is there really such a difference in treatment on the same land?
Zhen Xi's expression turned cold almost imperceptibly.

At that moment, Lu Qiaoge's eyes lit up.

And believe it or not, if there were real investment, things would be completely transformed.

It's a pity that this person still doesn't quite understand the strategy here.

But they might not be completely unaware of it; they might just be testing the waters.

Being able to stay by Chairman Zhen's side means you can't be too stupid, no matter how dumb you are.

Lu Qiaoge is the provisional factory manager of this small workshop. Since the other party has specifically requested her, she has to accept their request.

Regardless, these are distinguished guests who have made contributions to the country.

Lu Qiaoge immediately stepped forward with a smile and introduced herself: "I am the factory manager, my name is Lu Qiaoge, may I ask who you are?"

The factory manager's secretary never expected that the third young master of the Zhen family would be so unreliable.

At least that's his opinion.

He only said he was looking for his Uncle Lin and would also take a casual stroll, and that it would be fine with him accompanying him.

But the moment they get off the bus, they immediately ask for investment. Do they really think this is a port city?

Secretary Zhou inwardly grumbled, but outwardly remained extremely friendly. Seeing that Lu Qiaoge responded politely, he breathed a sigh of relief and, following Lu Qiaoge's lead, introduced her warmly: "Comrade Lu, this is Mr. Zhen Xi from the Zhen Group in Hong Kong."

Then Secretary Zhou introduced Director Hu to him.

After this introduction, the atmosphere improved considerably.

Director Hu was not happy. What was the reception staff doing? Why did they send this third young master here?
Investing? What a boastful tone.

Do they need it?

No need, we're all following the national plan. But he couldn't say these words out loud. He was a straightforward person and didn't really want to talk to this capitalist's fancy-looking rich kid.

Fortunately, Qiao Ge is smart.

This girl is incredibly good at handling things.

She's much better than him.

Otherwise, Zhen Xi would lose face today, which would also have a negative impact on the factory.

Regardless of his behavior, we should treat every guest with enthusiasm.

At his age, he might still be criticized by his superiors for not considering the bigger picture.

Old Hu smiled with satisfaction.

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "Hello Mr. Zhen, there's no rush for investment. Why don't you take a look at our factory first?"

"You're Factory Director Lu?" Zhen Xi suddenly asked, her voice carrying the lazy tone characteristic of Hong Kong-accented Mandarin.

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Yes."

He paused for a moment, then continued slowly, "This is a small factory run by our Xiangyang Subdistrict Office. Our Director Hu happens to be here too; you can consult him about investment matters."

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to shake hands, Lao Hu didn't extend his hand either. But since everyone is a guest, he earnestly explained: "The small factory under the street office belongs to a large collective. It's mainly for solving the employment problem for urban youth and doesn't accept outside investment. However, on behalf of the street office, I would like to thank Mr. Zhen for his kindness."

In a bad mood, Zhen Xi raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you going to ask your superiors?"

Old Hu choked a little, not too hard.

He suddenly realized that this arrogant young master was indeed an arrogant young master.

This is just making trouble out of nothing.

This was decided long ago during the meeting. Can't we even find out about it during a visit, let alone an investment?

Before Lao Hu could speak, Lu Qiaoge chimed in at the opportune moment: "Mr. Zhen, I can answer that for you. We have explicit regulations that, due to the special nature of the factory, we do not accept foreign investment."

Zhen Xi glanced at Lu Qiaoge with a half-smile.

I never expected that there would be such a beautiful and intelligent young lady in this backward place.

Yes, she looks really beautiful.

However, Lu Qiaoge didn't give him a chance to speak or comment, and continued with a smile: "Mr. Zhen, investment is not an option, but we can discuss orders. As far as I know, most of the roasted seeds and nuts in Gangcheng are purchased from outside. Our Jiangcheng roasted seeds and nuts factory currently has two varieties: original flavor and spiced melon seeds. If you are interested, you can go and have a look at the roasted seeds and nuts factory. If it is inconvenient for you to contact us, I can help you communicate through the district comprehensive office."

Actually, sunflower seeds are in high demand now. In some places, no coupons are needed, while in others, each household is given half a pound to a pound of sunflower seeds during the Spring Festival.

But if this stuff can be exchanged for foreign currency, that's fine too.

She heard from Su Hongmei that there are many types of foreign exchange that can be exchanged.

Many of these are regulated by the state, but some are products from individual factories. Nowadays, the most common items that can be exchanged for foreign exchange are imitation antique handicrafts and embroidered items, but not for speculative goods.

Lu Qiaoge immediately thought of the Zhen family.

However, looking at Jiangcheng as a whole, including its military factories, it seems that only energy-related products can be exported.

But Lu Qiaoge didn't want to do it.

Let's just make roasted nuts.

Jiangcheng has a large land area, and sunflowers are grown in various communes.

When Lu Qiaoge went to Guzitun, she saw a large field of sunflowers.

Therefore, the direction of roasting and frying should be viable.

Lu Qiaoge's smile was infectious, and even Zhen Xi, who had just been treated like a monkey, put away her indifference.

Lu Qiaoge turned her head, glanced at the workers behind her, and called out, "Meng Qingshan, Hu Ze, Du Shuang, Zhou Li, you guys come over here, let's show Mr. Zhen around our workshop. Su Hui, you take the others and get busy."
