Chapter 283 Ci Yu Purchases Goods
The attitudes of these bosses in Yongcheng were very different from Wu Shang's. If this batch of goods was not very important to him, Chen Xi would have returned home long ago.

"I'll call Sun Cheng over to see if he has any solution. But his home is in a county-level city below." After Chen Xu said this, he dialed Sun Cheng's number.

"Which one should I hear first, the good news or the bad news?" After a while, Chen Xu put down his phone.

"Good news."

"There is a LED factory in Ciyu. The boss is a nice guy. Sun Cheng knows him."

"Where's the bad news?"

"The factory has no money to repay the bank loan, and the workers are leaving one after another."

"..."

He was left speechless by Chen Xu's words and didn't know what to say.

Looking at the list of factories in Ningbo in his hand, he folded it in half and put it in his bag.

Ci Yu is a county-level city under Ningbo. Although it is a county-level city, its economy is still very developed. It has been rated as one of the top county-level cities in the country. The housing prices are even higher than those in ordinary second-tier cities.

In front of a small-looking factory, Chen Xi leaned against the car door with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Ha, I thought you came to Yongcheng to wish me a happy new year!"

"What a beautiful thought."

A BMW stopped by the roadside. Sun Cheng got out of the car in a hurry and walked over quickly.

"Is this factory closed? There's not even a security guard." Pointing to the empty guard room, Chen Xi looked unpleasant.

"The boss is in a bit of trouble now. He just developed a new type of LED light, but he ran into some financial problems. The money owed to him has not been paid yet, so he had to give all the workers a holiday. You know, it's the end of the year, and it's hard to collect the debts."

"Didn't you say you all resigned?"

"This factory has been open for a long time, and there are still some old employees. Ci Yu is so small, and it's hard to find a job. They want to wait for the boss to recover before continuing to work in the factory."

"Where's the boss?"

"I've contacted them and will be here soon. I'm still running around to make money!"

Seeing that the real person had not arrived yet, the three of them could only stand on the side of the road and chat.

"Haha, I told you I finally got the upper hand. I almost couldn't hold on. Xiuxiu was too domineering. But since I succeeded, she seems to have become a lot gentler. She listens to me in everything!"

"Don't they say that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog."

"Go to hell, you are the dog."

"Haha."

"Sorry for the wait."

Just as the three of them were still laughing, a bald middle-aged man ran over.

"Uncle Su, why don't you drive here?"

"Um... that... you know."

Faced with Sun Cheng's whispered question, the bald uncle could only smile awkwardly.

He mortgaged his car and now can only rely on taxis to get around.

"This is Mr. Chen, my friend. He came to Ci Yu specifically to purchase goods. I have told him about your situation."

"Hello, Su Quan."

"Hello, Chen Xi."

Chen Xi and Su Quan shook hands and then went into the factory together.

Pushing open a heavy iron door, there were a lot of materials piled up in the factory.

The assembly line was stopped and there was not a single worker in the factory, which seemed a bit desolate.

There was a lot of dust around, and it was obvious that the work had been stopped for a long time.

"This is a new LED lamp sample. The quality is no worse than the imported ones, and the life span is even longer."

Su Quan took out a sample, turned on the power and showed it to Chen Xi.

When Chen Xi saw this sample, he finally understood why he had ended up in such a miserable state.

Su Quan is really an interesting person. Nowadays, manufacturers all have a tacit understanding to make the product life span reach a similar value.

This way, customers will buy it again after it breaks.

He works so hard to make the product so good and extend its lifespan, who would come to buy from him a second time!

However, this is a municipal project, so the quality must be guaranteed. After all, a new leader has taken office. If you put in a defective product, it will be bad if it breaks down. In the worst case, if Qin Feilong is stubborn and checks the supplier, he will probably be blacklisted.

"Mr. Su, I have a general understanding of your situation. The quantity I need is not small. When do you think the factory can start production? It seems that you have no shortage of materials." Chen Xi coughed lightly, and seeing that this boss was a down-to-earth person, he went straight to the point.

"I now owe the bank more than one million yuan in loans, and I still owe the microfinance company another 300,000 yuan. I still need hundreds of thousands of yuan to get the workers back to work..."

"...What price can you give me?"

Chen Xi felt a bit overwhelmed when he heard this, but he still opened his mouth to ask for clarification. After all, he didn't want to go back to Yongcheng.

"It's definitely lower than others. Just let me take a breath and I'll settle the bill..."

"Mr. Su, I finally found you. When are you going to pay back the 300,000 yuan? I heard that you mortgaged your car, so you should have some money." A sharp voice sounded, and Chen Xi looked towards the gate.

Three men came over, the leader was a guy who looked neither male nor female, followed by two bald men. The man with long hair was the one who had just spoken.

"Give me a few more days. I'm negotiating a business deal. As long as the business starts and I have money, I'll pay you back with interest." "It's already been more than three days. According to the current situation, you only need to pay 350,000 today. If you give me more time, I'm really afraid you won't have the money to pay me back!" The long-haired man said in a sarcastic tone, while the two bald men stood aside with cold eyes.

Damn, I’ve run into a loan shark.

Fifty thousand more in just three days!

Chen Xi was shocked.

"How did it become 350,000? You are too mean."

"It's all written in the contract, but you didn't pay on time."

"This……"

Su Quan didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought he could get the payment back smoothly, but in the end he didn't get even a penny.

It's the end of the year now, and people are saying that times are hard, so he has been running around in vain these days.

"Mr. Chen, how much do you need? I have materials worth 800,000 yuan. If you can pay me back first, I can supply you with materials at half the market price."

"Oh?"

Su Quan was obviously a little anxious. He would rather work for free than owe usury. As businessmen, they understood this kind of thing. The longer they delayed, the more money they had to pay back. If the problem was not resolved now, it would be a bottomless pit.

Chen Xi turned his head and looked at Sun Cheng beside him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Su has a good reputation."

Sun Cheng whispered to him.

This amount of money was nothing to Chen Xi, so he decided to take a gamble.

"Okay, deal. I don't want you to work for nothing. If the quality of this batch of goods is good and they can be delivered on time, I will naturally increase the price of future supplies."

"Thank you very much."

Su Quan held Chen Xi's hand, not knowing what to say. He used to be a worker and didn't know much about business.

He was focused on making good products and displaying the so-called spirit of craftsmanship. However, in the fiercely competitive market, doing business in this way would not allow the factory to survive.

"Oh, Mr. Su is really a man of great luck! He was able to bring the dead back to life. If you need a loan in the future, you must come to me again. I will give you a discount!"

"Haha, I don't think I can even pay back the interest."

"That's not right. Our investment also has costs, and we have to share it with others..." After paying off Su Quan's money, Changmao immediately changed his face and said with a big smile that he was looking forward to the next cooperation. This change made everyone present couldn't help but sigh at his superb acting skills.

The two bald men also became kind, and if you didn’t know them, you would think they were monks from some temple.

"Come to me next time if you need anything!" Changmao waved his hand happily and left with the two big bald heads.

"Boss Su, I can help you advance the bank loan and the workers' wages, but I have to say this: if there are any problems with your products or you can't deliver them on time, don't blame me."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I, Su Quan, have a good reputation in Ciyu. As long as the money is in place, we can start work immediately. The materials are ready."

They found a restaurant to eat and chat. When Chen Xi heard that he wanted a large quantity, he rubbed his hands excitedly. Although there is a great demand for LED lights now, his products are not well known.

Nowadays, customers like imported goods. Those OEM factories just put a label on it and say it is the same as a certain product, and it will sell well. The more unscrupulous ones will directly make counterfeits, and they all make much more money than him.

"My products are so good, I don't know why no one wants them, it's really strange. I went to Huanglu City to find a lamp factory before, they have a large volume, they make solar street lamps for residential areas and outside. I told them that my lamps can be used for many years, but they shook their heads and said no, it really pissed me off."

Maybe he was happy today, Su Quan drank rice wine during dinner, and started talking nonsense after drinking too much.

Huanglu City.

Solar lights?

Chen Xi was delighted when he heard this.

The lighting factory that Su Quan was looking for should belong to his classmate.

As far as he knew, in a small place like Huanglu City, there seemed to be only one company that made solar lights.

Huanglu City, also known as Huanglu District, is a district of Haizhou City.

It used to be an independent city, and although it later became a district, the locals of Huanglu still call themselves people from Huanglu City.

Like Jiangsu Province, the locals in Zhijiang have very detailed divisions of their places of residence. When outside, they would call themselves people from a certain district or town, and some even divide them into streets.

Haizhou City is most famous for its valves, but there are also many other industries here. Geely cars are manufactured here.

There are many classmates of Chen Xi here. In addition to the four kings of Huang Lu, there are many friends. One of his high school classmates is from the family of the second largest wheel manufacturer in China.

"You bastard, why did you have to come when I was playing cards?"

"Come and try our Huanglu specialty. It's mentioned in the Chinese textbook. A great man once said: Huanglu mandarin oranges are the best in the world."

He stayed in Ciyu for one more day to deal with Suquan's affairs. On the third day, he hurried to Huanglu, and a group of old friends naturally came to greet him.

He always remembered that what was written in the Chinese textbook was that Guilin's landscape was the best in the world, but how come it suddenly became that Huanglu tangerines were the best in the world.

"I'll take you to have some fun in the evening and see the features of our Zhijiang Club." The speaker was Wang Qiansui, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Huanglu. His favorite place to go was the club, almost as much as Alin.

These four people also have unique nicknames. Wang Qiansui's nickname is naturally Wang Piaoke.

The others are beast, bitch, and egg cannon.

Anyway, none of them are good names. Either they are homophones of names, or they are taken from some bad habits.
