Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 97 Let's Sell Socks Together

Jinjiya Socks Factory is operating normally.

Jin Jia took full control of the hosiery factory, leaving her two children in the care of her parents. Her husband, Hu Liqiu, remains in custody on charges including illegal fundraising, and the outcome is still pending. Although the money has been repaid, legal responsibility will still be pursued.

Jin Yuanyuan stood with her hands in her pockets at the entrance of her sock factory, looking at Jin Jia's sock factory. She was wondering whether she should talk to Jin Jia, but she hadn't decided what to talk about.

Ye Huanxi actually took three more days off and had a great time chatting with the German engineers at Jin Yaya's hosiery factory. One of the German men was indeed very handsome, and even she, a "looks-obsessed" person, admitted to being quite attracted to him. Ye Huanxi said she was looking for inspiration for her novel and was happily eating instant noodles with this German man.

What are these reasons?

Jin Yuanyuan shook her head, not caring about anything else. Anyway, once the machine turned, the money was in her hands, and she was in a good mood.

"Hey, Xuanxuan, why are you all alone?" Jin Jia's daughter, Jin Xuanxuan, walked out of the Jin Jia hosiery factory office alone, holding an ice pop. "Is your appendicitis better? You dare to eat an ice pop?"

Jin Yuanyuan really likes this child. She accompanied Jin Jia to the emergency room with Jin Xuanxuan, stayed with her during surgery, and even took care of her for a whole day... Although she was very nervous at the time, it's all in the past now, and Jin Xuanxuan is a lively and energetic little girl again.

"The doctor said it's okay to eat popsicles, just eat them slowly, and then you'll feel better after passing gas." Jin Xuanxuan seemed quite happy to see Jin Yuanyuan. "Aunt Yuanyuan, do you want a popsicle? There are some in Mom's office."

"Wait, aren't you going to school today?" Jin Yuanyuan asked.

"Mom took me to interview at a school in Shanghai today. She said that my grandparents will take my brother and me to study in Shanghai." Jin Xuanxuan is currently in the second grade of elementary school.

"What?" In an instant, Jin Yuanyuan thought of many things, such as: Jin Jia is closing down? Jin Jia's whole family has immigrated? Jin Jia has run away...

"My mom said that if I go to study in Shanghai, I can get into university and become as good as her. She will come to see me every week and stay in Shanghai when she has time."

"Oh, okay." Jin Yuanyuan nodded. "I want to eat an ice pop too. Will you take me to get one?"

"Great! There's a chocolate flavor, it's especially delicious!" Jin Xuanxuan happily took her hand and went to Jin Jia's office.

Jin Jia was talking to her employees in the workshop when Jin Yuanyuan, without any hesitation, opened the small refrigerator, took out an ice pop and started eating it. She then began looking at Jin Xuanxuan's homework, saying, "I can't understand any of your homework!"

"Hehe, Mom doesn't understand it either, that's why she sent me to Shanghai." Jin Xuanxuan was definitely a clever little devil, her smile was so sweet. "Aunt Yuanyuan doesn't understand either, does that mean I can study abroad, work for a big company, and make a lot of money? Even better than Aunt Yuanyuan?"

"Yes, yes, you're the best!" Jin Yuanyuan chuckled. It seemed that Jin Jia had told Jin Xuanxuan quite a bit about her studying abroad and getting a job at a big company.

"Yuanyuan, wait for me, I'll be right there after I finish speaking." Jin Jia had already seen her and called out to her.

Jin Jia's office combines product display space with the work area, but she's more economical, working directly with finance, HR, and sales in one large open-plan space, without hiding anything. Only Hu Liqiu previously had a small office of her own, which Jin Jia converted into a lounge where she could lie down for a while when she was tired.

Jin Jia looked much more simple now, without the extravagant flair of wearing gold and silver. She rushed back to her office, hugged Jin Xuanxuan, and said to Jin Yuanyuan, "Shall we go get some milk tea?"

"Huh?" Jin Yuanyuan was stunned. "Don't you only drink coffee?"

"You used to only drink iced Americano, but now you drink milk tea every day." She smiled brightly, it seemed that the impact of Hu Liqiu's incident on her was slowly fading.

Sure enough, the two strolled to the nearest milk tea shop and each ordered a milk tea that was extremely high in calories and sugar, and drank it down in big gulps, becoming extremely happy.

Jin Jia cut to the chase, proposing a collaboration with Jin Yaya. "I won't lie to you, Hu Liqiu's matter has indeed had a significant impact on us; otherwise, I wouldn't have had my parents and children move to Shanghai. But Jin Jiaya is the lifeblood of our family, and I can't easily give her up. So, I think we should focus on making things better here first, and then we can talk about the future."

"What's going on with Hu Liqiu?" Jin Yuanyuan didn't hold back anymore and asked directly.

"Because he's paid back all the money, but he'll probably be in there for a while." Jin Jia said calmly, "He himself said he doesn't need a lawyer, he doesn't need probation, he doesn't need any special treatment. He'll accept whatever sentence he's given."

"...Fine, so, you guys..."

"Let's not get a divorce yet. It's not too late to get a divorce when I find someone suitable. Besides, if I die, all the property will go to the two children, and he won't have a thing with it."

"You...you're really direct." Jin Yuanyuan chuckled dryly again.

"What should I do? I can't put all my eggs in one basket. Right now, we need to minimize the impact and make money first."

"I like this idea." Jin Yuanyuan clinked her milk tea cup with hers. "Tell me, you must have kicked Xiao Xuanxuan out to seduce me just so you could talk to me, right?"

"Yes, because I felt it would be quite sudden to bring this up with you out of the blue."

"It's okay, it's okay, just tell me anytime, I'm always here to listen." Jin Yuanyuan clinked her milk tea cups with hers again.

"I saw you brought in the new machines. How's the production performance?"

"Of course it's faster and better; having money is really great."

"How about we work together?"

"How do we cooperate?"

"Let's sell socks together!" Jin Jia was quite sincere. "I've watched all your live streams, have you seen mine? Actually, we each have our own strengths, but we both lack in product sales. I think we can leverage your design capabilities and my production advantages to produce some high-quality items, some domestically made goods, and some unique products. We can discuss profit sharing separately. But integrating everyone's productivity and design capabilities will greatly improve our situation. And, to be honest, I do lack design talent. We don't have any new or trendy designs. If we only produce black, white, and gray socks, Jin Jia will eventually be eliminated by the market. We also need innovation and creativity. But your main problem is that your production capacity can't keep up. Even with new machines, you still lack experienced people, right? And then there's the sales issue. Right now, it seems only Cao Xiaoyu is running around doing market research, right? On my side… Hu Liqiu trained quite a few good salespeople, and their abilities aren't weak either…"

Jin Jia's lengthy explanation was very reasonable. Jin Yuanyuan stated that she would definitely consider this matter carefully and conduct a serious and thorough study with the internal staff.

"Making money is the priority, and it has to be fast. That's how the market is; opportunities are fleeting. If you don't seize them, you'll never have another chance." Jin Jia raised her milk tea and clinked glasses with Jin Yuanyuan.
