Chapter 465: Buying the Factory

~7 min read 1,381 words

"When the three of us bought it back then, we didn't even think about whether it would make money; we just didn't want the factory to disappear just like that." Mother Wang's emotions were not very agitated; she even spoke quite calmly. Looking at everything around her, besides reluctance, there was only more reluctance.

"That's right, Nan Nan, we won't sell the factory. We are old and can't afford to lose any more. At worst, we'll just move in and look at the memories every day," Factory Manager He also said with a smile, lacking the shrewdness he had when negotiating business.

Deputy Factory Manager Feng did not speak. The three of them were one; if one advanced, all three advanced, and if one retreated, all three retreated.

Over so many years, they had long since formed a dependency and a habit.

An Yinan looked at Factory Manager He and blinked her eyes. It wasn't that she was acting cute; it was mainly that she truly hadn't understood the two of them.

She hadn't said anything outrageous, had she?

Why were the three of them looking so agitated?

Something didn't feel right.

"Isn't it better to keep the factory running than to close it?" An Yinan didn't understand, so she asked directly.

"But it wouldn't be our factory anymore," Factory Manager He replied immediately.

This was also the point he minded; if it wasn't their factory anymore, how could there be any memories?

"Ah? I'm buying the factory, just giving instructions on what to do, not taking away the management rights. How is it not your factory anymore?"

"Besides, wasn't it the same back when it was state-run?" An Yinan asked.

She didn't know why these three people were having such a stress reaction.

Mother Wang and the other two widened their eyes, "Wait, Nan Nan."

"Are you saying that after you buy the factory, you'll still let the three of us manage it?"

Had she heard that right?

An Yinan was confused, "Otherwise? I should watch over it? I still have to go to school; where would I have that much time?"

She wished she could split her limited time into pieces to use it.

Where would she have time to watch over a factory!

Should she ignore all those shops?

Should she ignore all those stalls?

After graduation, she still had to go to the hospital for an internship!

Asking her to manage a Textile Factory was a bit too much, right?

"We thought..." Factory Manager He was also somewhat surprised.

"We are old, and they both thought that if you bought the factory, you wouldn't want the three of us anymore," Deputy Factory Manager Feng, at a critical moment, cleanly and efficiently stabbed his teammates twice.

"The translation is very good, but there's no need to translate!" An Yinan said silently to herself. Hadn't she seen the man-eating glares from those two?

"If we are managing it in the future, why are you buying the factory?" Factory Manager He asked.

When it concerned the factory, he had to ask everything clearly.

They had a very good relationship with Nan Nan and didn't want to ruin it because of this matter.

"I have my own Clothing Factory, my own shops, and my own wholesale stalls. I need a Textile Factory of my own, and the clothes I design require special fabric, but the fabric on the market cannot satisfy me," An Yinan said straightforwardly.

This wasn't negotiating business outside, where one emphasizes the principle of profit-sharing.

Here, she never wanted to disguise her thoughts, nor did she want to use those little tricks and schemes.

"So that's how it is." Factory Manager He nodded and looked at his two partners.

"Nan Nan, would you like to go to the lounge and rest for a while?" Factory Manager He said embarrassedly.

The factory belonged to the three of them; they needed to have a good talk to determine the final result.

An Yinan smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for the three of you's result."

Over these years, she hadn't used little of the Textile Factory's materials, especially after it turned private; whenever there was new material, the factory would always think of her.

She wasn't a person without a conscience. In fact, in the few years since the state-run factory turned private, it was already impossible to sell at the previous prices.

But she didn't want to let these old people lose money either. Hearing from Sister Liu Mei, at the time of buying this factory, Mother Wang and the others had taken out their own coffin money—all their family savings—and invested it into the factory.

"Little sister, do you want to buy the factory?" Liu Mei hadn't known before and thought they were discussing some fabric cooperation.

She hadn't expected that as soon as her little sister arrived, she would cause such a big stir.

Buying a Textile Factory directly!

It was something she didn't even dare to imagine.

"You also know my plan. In the future, the clothing stores here in the Northeast must be opened, and I need my own Textile Factory and Clothing Factory," An Yinan calculated secretly in her heart.

Liu Mei was lost in thought; no one knew what she was thinking.

"Nan Nan." Mother Wang came to the lounge, her eyes filled with smiles; clearly, their conversation had been very pleasant.

"Come to the office."

The few of them returned to the office, but this time Liu Mei did not go in.

Regarding this matter, she already knew what she should know; what followed was not something she should know.

She had always been clear about her position.

"You must write into the contract that the three of us will be in charge of management," Factory Manager He said with a smile.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Nan Nan, but there were some things they had their own persistence about.

She thought of how, previously, An Yinan had wanted two positions and also made them write it into the contract.

Scene after scene seemed like yesterday.

"It's already written in." An Yinan took out the contract she had prepared earlier and placed it directly on the office desk.

Factory Manager He's eyes brightened, but on the surface, he remained calm. He picked up the contract and read it word by word. He actually spent nearly half an hour reading the four or five-page contract.

But no one urged him!

"Old Wang, you take a look." Factory Manager He handed the contract to Mother Wang.

Mother Wang looked at his expression; it seemed different from what they had discussed earlier?

She took the contract over in confusion, and after seeing the contents inside, she slowly raised her head to look at An Yinan.

"Nan Nan, you don't have to do this!"

This contract offered them too many favorable terms.

The factory was acquired at the original price.

Their entire scope of work remained completely unchanged.

Furthermore, they were given a share of the profits; although it was a one-percent share split between three people, this was not something they deserved!

Being able to stay was already the best outcome for them.

"Just consider it me trying to win over people's hearts!" An Yinan smiled, that smile looking somewhat playful.

All three of them laughed; they were old and didn't want to see the factory just disappear like that, but Nan Nan had to understand their feelings!

"Are there any instructions regarding production?" Regarding how to split the profits or dividends, Vice Factory Director Feng did not care; he only cared about whether there were any new patterns.

Now that Nan Nan would be in charge of the factory, would there be new patterns?

"It's not in the contract, but it's in my bag!" An Yinan patted her backpack.

It is no exaggeration to say that Vice Factory Director Feng was staring at her backpack so hard he was about to burn two holes through it.

"Haha, look at Feng Lao's expression; he's already impatient. If you had said that just now, he wouldn't have hesitated at all and would have signed the contract immediately," Auntie Wang said with a laugh.

The gloom that had filled the room before had now vanished into thin air.
