Chapter 318 Talk about cooperation
"I heard that the young master has opened a steam weaving workshop that can produce hundreds of pieces of cloth every day. My sister and I came here to seek cooperation...!"
Lu Ze sat on the chair and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "My father is engaged in textile business in Surabaya County. There are many shops in Surabaya County, and the family also employs many workers to work. We can cooperate with the young master to produce the products produced by the steam textile factory.
The cloth is sold in Surabaya County!"
"I can open my own store in Surabaya County, so why should I cooperate with you?"
The young lady was smiling and deliberately making things difficult.
This sentence indeed made Lu Ze a little embarrassed!
He and his sister were ordered by their father to see if they could seek cooperation!
He also once wondered why his family still wanted to seek cooperation when they already had a big business in Surabaya County.
However, his father curled his lips and said that his vision was too small. As long as he followed the path of a young master, the Lu family would be glorious for generations to come!
Although I don’t understand what it means, I can’t disobey my father’s orders, so I can only bring my sister to Xianyang!
Girls in other families just embroider and practice cooking at home, but his sister is different. She has learned business from her father since she was a child, and her calculations are even more slippery than his eldest son!
In addition, he is also very sharp-tongued, so his father lets the two of them go out together!
"The young master can indeed open his own shop in Surabaya County, but our Lu family has thousands of female workers, all with excellent craftsmanship. It is definitely the largest textile workshop in Surabaya County...!"
Just when Lu Ze was in a dilemma and didn't know how to persuade him, Lu Zhi beside him smiled and said, "We have already visited the young master's sweater shop, and the supply exceeds demand!"
"Yes, people are more enthusiastic about buying!"
Little Shota nodded.
"Isn't it because there are not enough manpower?"
Lu Pheasant's question was extremely sharp and hit the nail on the head, making Xiao Zhengtai slightly surprised.
You are right, the production of sweaters has just started, and all the female workers employed are textile workers from Xianyang Chenghui.
But compared with the needs of the people, these manpower are simply not enough.
"Well, it has something to do with it!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded and admitted.
"My brother and I are going to help the young master solve this problem this time. My brother also said just now that our Cui family has the largest workshop in Sishui County. There are not only 1,000 but also 800 skilled female workers who can weave weaving every day.
The sweaters are definitely enough for the people nearby to buy, and they can be purchased much faster than a factory in Xianyang can support them!"
"The young master cares about the world, and he must hope that the people can wear warm sweaters in the shortest possible time, so we are willing to cooperate with the young master!"
Lu Zhi smiled faintly, his eyes twinkling.
Afterwards, both brothers and sisters looked at Ying Feiyu expectantly!
"I wonder if Miss Lu has ever been married?"
After waiting for a long time, what the two of them were expecting was such a meaningless sentence.
"Marriage...marriage?"
"This this……?"
The two siblings looked confused.
It was clearly about cooperation, but it suddenly turned to marriage?
Lu Pheasant's cheeks turned red!
Normally, someone would come to propose marriage to a girl when she was less than ten years old, and she could be married when she was twelve or thirteen years old!
There are very few people like her who haven't gotten married yet at the age of fifteen!
Either he is stupid and disabled, or he is too ugly!
And she considers herself to be a good girl, with sound limbs and pretty good looks. I don’t know why her father hasn’t proposed marriage to her for so long!
Even the Sishui County Magistrate, who was close to my father, asked to marry him, but my father declined!
I usually tell her that she will be rich and powerful in the future, and the whole family will follow her to benefit from it!
But she never felt that she was destined to be rich and noble!
A child from a businessman's family can only get rich if he marries a well-matched person.
At most, it’s just to make more money!
"My roommate is still young, and her parents want to stay with her for a few more years, but she is not yet married!"
After reacting, Lu Ze opened his mouth and answered.
"Um……!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to ask, "Do you know Liu Bang?"
"Liu Bang?"
The two looked at each other and scratched their heads in confusion.
"do not know!"
"I've never heard of it!"
After hearing this, Xiaoshota became even more convinced that part of history had indeed been changed.
Normally speaking, Liu Bang is the pavilion chief of Surabaya, and Lu Gong is on good terms with the county magistrate of Surabaya. Even if they don't know each other, they should have heard about it!
But seeing that the two of them were very unfamiliar with this name, Liu Bang must not be in Surabaya County at all!
"Okay! I can transport the processed wool yarn to Surabaya County and leave all the business in Surabaya County to you, but I have one condition!"
After a while, Xiao Zhengtai shook his legs and spoke.
"Really leave it to us?"
The two brothers and sister were a little surprised, thinking that they would have to spend a lot of time before agreeing, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"That's great, young master, tell me, as long as we, brother and sister, can do it, we will definitely agree!"
Lu Ze immediately agreed without even thinking about it.
"You two brothers and sisters stay!"
Koshota pointed at the two of them and said.
"What? Let us stay?"
The two pointed at the tips of their noses in surprise.
"That's right...!"
Ying Feiyu nodded, pretending to be serious and said: "The steam weaving factory and the sweater shop have just been established, and there are no suitable candidates to manage them yet. I think you are a good fit. One manages the factory and the other manages the store!"
Since the steam weaving factory was established, it has been taken care of by craftsmen from Huang Yuan.
As the factory expands, you will definitely need to find someone who knows how to do business to manage it!
The store needs to be in contact with people of different ages, men and women, and it also needs a smart person to manage it. The two brothers and sisters came at the right time!
Of course, if Lu Fei wasn't afraid of becoming suspicious, he might just leave her alone!
"Young Master, you...you want us brothers and sisters to manage the steam weaving factory and shop?"
Lu Ze's face was filled with disbelief.
Lu Pheasant was the same, blinking her beautiful eyes lightly, as if she didn’t believe this was true!
This was their first meeting with the Young Master. Why did the Young Master trust them so much and leave his property to them?
"Why? Don't want to?"
"No, no, no, young master, you...you just believe in us?"
"Young master, aren't you afraid that we will master the technology? Why don't you go back to Surabaya County and do it yourself?"
Lu Ze and Lu Zhi asked in confusion.
"Don't trust the people you employ, and don't use the people you doubt. As for...technology?"
Mr. Shota couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not looking down on you, this steam engine is really not something that ordinary people can build. Even if you master the technology of making a steam engine, you don't have enough iron to build it!"
You must know that all iron ore mines are in the hands of the imperial court, and private mining is not allowed by the private sector.
