The train passed by Zhoucun, and Wang Zixi and Lu Xiwa got off the bus first and prepared to go to Zhoucun to get a front station.

Lin Hongfei and Chen Liuzi, the shopkeeper of the dyeing shop, did not know each other, and did not have a suitable intermediary to introduce him, so it seemed a bit abrupt and unethical to come to the house rashly.

In addition, I wanted to start a dyeing factory with Chen Liuzi, which was a big deal worth more than 100,000 yuan. I have never known each other. Why do people believe you and why don’t they think you are a liar?

So, Lin Hongfei asked the two of them to go to Zhoucun and ask someone to talk to Chen Liuzi, while he himself took someone to Qingcheng first to go to Qian Minghe's old friend, Xu Chengping, president of the Chamber of Commerce.

If President Xu could be invited to serve as the intermediary and guarantor, I think this will be much smoother.

The train headed east along the Jiaoji Railway and arrived at the coastal city Qingcheng.

Since the previous dynasty, this place has been occupied by foreign forces. With the development of these years, Qingcheng has become a famous commercial city in the north.

As soon as Lin Hongfei got off the train, he saw someone holding a big sign with five words [Mr. Lin of Yanjing] on it.

Lin Hongfei knew that this was the person sent by President Xu Chengping to welcome him.

Before coming, Qian Minghe specially sent a telegram to his old friend. Xu Chengping and Lin Hongfei's grandfather Lin Qingsong had met several times, so he immediately sent someone to wait at the station.

At this time, Lin Hongfei talked to the station attendant. The station attendant was a young man in his twenties. He smiled:

"Hello Mr. Lin, my name is Yao Bo. I am President Xu's nephew, and my uncle sent me to pick you up."

"I finally got you a few people. I have been waiting here since the day before yesterday."

"I've worked hard, I've worked hard!"

"We'll be here, and I'll have to wait for so many days."

After learning about this person's identity, Lin Hongfei smiled and thanked.

"Hey, they are all my own people, I'll just say this!"

"Come on, you guys, hurry up and help Mr. Lin move his luggage!"

Yao Bo called the servants of the Xu family to help carry the luggage, and then several rickshaws pulled Lin Hongfei and others toward the Xu family's mansion.

On the way to the Xu family, Lin Hongfei asked Wayne and Chen Deshan to go to the hotel to wait for him, so they were divided into two groups of people.

The Xu family mansion is a Western-style villa with white marble steps and four stone pillars erected in front of the door, which looks quite grand.

Under Yao Bo's leadership, Lin Hongfei, Sun Tie and Ding Dehu walked into the villa with extremely luxurious interior decoration and saw a thin old man of similar age as Qian Minghe standing upright in the living room.

This person is Xu Chengping, president of Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce. Lin Hongfei said respectfully: "My younger generation, Lin Hongfei, have met President Xu. This trip to Qingcheng will be disturbed. I hope President Xu will forgive me!"

Xu Chengping laughed: "Don't be so polite. Minghe and I have been friends for many years and have met your grandfather several times."

"I'll just say these words, just sit there quickly. When I get to my place, there's no need to be restrained!"

Everyone sat down, Lin Hongfei winked at Sun Tie. Sun Tie and Ding Dehu immediately placed the gift in their hands on the coffee table in front of everyone.

"Hongfei, I've come here as soon as I come. Why are you still getting something? You're so polite." Xu Chengping smiled.

Lin Hongfei said: "The first time I met you, I don't know what you like, so I bought some casually."

As he said that, Lin Hongfei opened one of the long brocade boxes: "I heard from Uncle Qian, hello, Bi Mo Danqing."

"It just so happens that I run an antique shop. This is an ancient painting that I asked my subordinates to look for."

"Iron Head, I'll know the tiger, spread it for the old man!"

Sun Tie and Ding Dehu held one by one, and then slowly showed the scroll in Xu Chengping's eyes.

Although Xu Chengping is not a professional, he is also a veteran in calligraphy and painting. He subconsciously put on reading glasses with gold wire frames, carefully observed them, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Dong Yuan's original work is really rare!"

"Hongfei, I dare not accept such an expensive gift. You can take it back!"

"This painting is sold to others, and it sells more than tens of thousands of oceans!"

Lin Hongfei laughed: "President Xu doesn't know that this painting was collected by my subordinates from the public and did not cost much."

"Besides, I don't know how to write and paint, so I'm just like a decoration if I put it there."

"If I sell it to outsiders, hehe, it's not that I look down on them. Those people buy and sell ancient paintings just to make money and get all the good treasures left by their ancestors into a smell of money, which is extremely vulgar."

"You are a famous collector in Qingcheng and an expert who truly likes ink painting. Only by putting such precious ancient paintings here can you get the best storage and care. You are its best destination!"

After a while, Xu Chengping was naturally overjoyed. He laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll be disrespectful!"

"Yao Bo, put away the painting!"

"Yes, uncle!" Yao Bo got the order and quickly stepped forward and carefully put away the ancient paintings.

If Xu Chengping's attitude was polite and a little alienated just now, then after this incident, Xu Chengping's attitude became much more intimate.

"President Xu..." Lin Hongfei was interrupted by Xu Chengping as soon as he spoke.

"Oh, don't call the president, it seems too naive, just like Qian Minghe!" Xu Chengping smiled.

"Uncle Xu!"

"Oh, this is the name of your own people!"

Qian Minghe's letter was just a stepping stone to enter the Xu family. Whether Xu Chengping could be willing to help depends on how Lin Hongfei himself handled it.

Of course, even if Lin Hongfei didn't give anything, Xu Chengping would not refuse Lin Hongfei's request for Qian Minghe's sake.

But he would definitely be a little unhappy and would not be too dedicated to the work, and it would be a one-time deal.

I want to find Xu Chengping to do business next time, I am afraid that people will avoid it.

Therefore, before Lin Hongfei came, he asked Tong Fengquan to prepare a valuable ancient painting to bring his relationship closer to Xu Chengping.

Sure enough, this ancient painting played a very good role!

It was just a dinner time, and Xu Chengping already regarded Lin Hongfei as a junior.

Taking advantage of the harmonious relationship between the two sides, Lin Hongfei made his own demands to Xu Chengping.

"What, do you want to open a dyeing factory in Qingcheng?"

"Yes, I wonder if you have any suggestions, Mr.?"

Xu Chengping thought for a while and said, "It is indeed a good idea to open a dyeing factory in Qingcheng."

"Qingcheng is a coastal city with a full range of wharfs and train stations. It is very convenient whether it is to purchase raw materials or transport goods."

"I don't have much advice here, I just have three points."

"First, you need to find a good partner. If you want to be a loser, then the candidates for the general manager must be cautious."

"The second is to choose a good factory site. Dyeing plants are an industry with a lot of demand for freshwater. It is best to have rivers near the factory site. In addition, it is not possible to be from the wharf or the train station is too far away."

"The third is to have your own unique dyeing recipe. The dyeing factory is just a dyeing word."

"Your cloth dye is fresh and beautiful, so naturally there will be more people buying it."

"If it is dyed black and has a color difference, and the good blue color turns green, then don't do this business, sooner or later, people will ruin their signature!"

After hearing Xu Chengping's words, Lin Hongfei said with a hint of embarrassment: "Old man, you are right. I am here to bother you this time because I want you to help me choose a suitable factory address."

"In addition, I will help me become an intermediary. I already have the candidate for general manager, but I don't know him."

"Hahaha, no problem, I'll ask the Chamber of Commerce to look for the factory site."
