Chapter 25 Looking at the factory

Xu Changhe must have thought that the Cui family would not want this batch of wood, but when Cui Changjia really told him that he didn't want it, he still felt a little uneasy. After all, the boss had repeatedly instructed that this batch of goods could not be left in their hands.

Xu Changhe said in embarrassment, "The company is holding down costs. If the contract is voided, this batch of materials will be wasted. The boss doesn't want that."

"How can it be a loss?" Cui Chengze said stupidly, "You can sell it to other people."

Xu Changhe was not annoyed, and explained, "Brother, you may not know that the materials you want are all pure solid wood, including two nanmu materials, which other furniture factories cannot use. Changjia, I understand our difficulties. How about this, if we still don't need this batch of wood in half a year, I will find a way to postpone the time for you."

Cui Changjia said, "Manager Xu, I have another idea, which is to exchange the 100,000 yuan deposit for eco-board. If we don't want that batch of materials, you can't just keep them all in your hands. It's just a matter of time at most. The profit of eco-board is quite high. For a 100,000 yuan product, there must be a profit of tens of thousands of yuan."

She said sincerely, "Manager Xu, if the situation at home wasn't so bad, I definitely wouldn't have caused you any trouble. You have a good relationship with my brother, so please think of a way to help me."

Cui Changjia did tell the truth. If they didn't want this batch of materials, Dongyue Wood Industry would not just keep them all. They could always dispose of them after a long time, but the boss didn't want to do that.

After a while, Xu Changhe said, "How about this, I'll give you an idea. You can go directly to Mr. Cao. This company belongs to Mr. Cao. Whether it will work or not depends on his words."

Mr. Cao’s full name is Cao Kun, and he is the boss of Dongyue Wood Industry.

If Xu Changhe went to find Cao Kun, he would definitely be scolded, but if the Cui family went to find Cao Kun themselves, then no matter what the result was, it would have nothing to do with Xu Changhe.

Cui Changjia was not afraid to go find someone and asked directly, "Okay, let's go find Mr. Cao. Is Mr. Cao here?"

"He's not here. I'll give you his phone number. You can call him and tell him about this to see if he agrees." Xu Changhe then took out his cell phone and gave the number to Cui Changjia.

Cui Changjia wrote down Cao Kun's cell phone number, but she asked Xu Changhe, "Manager Xu, what did Mr. Cao privately instruct on this matter?"

Xu Changhe paused. He didn't expect Cui Changjia to ask this question, but how could he have the nerve to tell Cui Changjia what Cao Kun said in private?

Seeing that Xu Changhe didn't say anything, Cui Changjia probably guessed that Cao Kun had said something very unpleasant in private. She pondered and said, "It seems that calling Mr. Cao is unlikely to produce any results. Manager Xu, where can I find Mr. Cao? I want to talk to him in person."

Xu Changhe looked at Cui Changjia with new eyes. "He has a dinner party tonight at the Venus Hotel. I'm going there too. How about I send you the room number later, and then you can find a chance to talk to him about this?"

Go to the dinner party to find someone?
Cui Changjia said, "Is it inappropriate to go to the dinner party to meet Mr. Cao? Manager Xu, can you help us arrange another time for Mr. Cao?"

"To be honest, it's difficult to see Mr. Cao. Sometimes I can't see him for a week or two. If you can wait, I'll call you when he comes to the factory, and you can come over."

There is no other way. Cui Changjia can't waste any time now.

"Okay, Manager Xu, thank you."

Xu Changhe waved his hand, "Boss Cui also gave me a lot of support in the beginning, this time I am repaying him, but when you meet Boss Cao, you can only pretend that you met by chance."

"Don't worry, I won't tell you that you asked me to come."

"I have to remind you that Mr. Cao has a bad temper, so this may not be successful."

Cui Changjia continued, "If it doesn't work out, I'll have to rely on you to help postpone the contract."

Xu Changhe nodded. In fact, he had no hope that Cui Changjia would talk to Mr. Cao about this matter, but the Cui family was in a very pitiful situation now, so he would help them if he could.

Coming out of Dongyue Wood Industry, Cui Chengze asked Cui Changjia, "Sister, do you think Mr. Cao will agree?"

Before he knew it, Cui Chengze had become completely dependent on his sister. "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate." Cui Changjia was not sure either.

It is possible that the Cui family will fulfill this contract, but it may take a long time.

Cui Changjia couldn't wait, and doing business, no matter how big or small, requires capital, which they didn't have.

Without talking about the long term, just looking at the present, this contract will definitely not be fulfilled. If Cao Kun does not agree, the result will be that the contract will be shelved and the contract will be fulfilled when there is money.

The worst outcome is that Dongyue Wood Industry will sue the Cui family and demand that the Cui family perform the contract. However, if the lawsuit is filed, Dongyue Wood Industry may not win, after all, there is a clause in the contract that stipulates the "force majeure" factor.

Cao Kun's dinner party was in the evening, and Cui Changjia saw that it was still early, so he took Cui Chengze to the repair shop to change the tire.

The tires of their van are still usable, but the tread is almost worn out. It's fine for normal driving, but they are afraid of raining or snowing.

Xu Junwei watched his apprentices change Cui Changjia's tire while chatting with Cui Changjia and the others.

Cui Changjia didn't want to chat with him, but asked him where there was a factory for rent.

It will be too late to do anything when the problem arises.

Even if you rent a factory, you can’t use it right away. It still needs to be cleaned up and renovated. It takes a day here and a day there. By the time you can finally use it, I’m afraid it will take more than 20 or 30 days.

When Cui Chengze heard Cui Changjia asking about the factory, he became a little excited. What he was looking forward to most now was that his family could have an income. The bills would always have to be paid one day, and having no income was the most terrifying thing.

Xu Junwei worked in a car repair shop, so he came into contact with many people and knew a lot. Xu Junwei really knew something and actually told Cui Changjia a few places to visit.

Cui Changjia is most interested in a cotton collection point at a former cotton station mentioned by Xu Junwei.

That cotton collection point was still in use in the 1990s. But in the past two years, the cotton station has been almost closed down and the cotton collection point is no longer in use.

The idea of ​​the cotton station is to sell it, but now the city is planning a high-tech zone and industrial park, and the tax policy is very good. Who would be willing to buy a broken cotton harvesting site? The cotton station can't be sold, so it wants to rent it out, but it's not easy to rent it out.

The cotton collection point was not far from the auto repair shop. After changing the tire, Cui Changjia took Cui Chengze to check it out.

The auto repair shop is on the edge of the city in the eastern suburbs. The cotton collection point is further out than it. The gate is quite large, and the road opposite is also very wide. There is a gas station across the road.

There are almost no buildings around the gas station, and behind it are all farmlands. The wheat has just been planted, and the land is bare and desolate.

The walls surrounding the cotton collection point are quite solid, but the gate is made of iron, and the blue paint on it is almost falling off, making it look very dilapidated.

Looking inside through the keyhole, the area is quite large. The yard is overgrown with weeds, the hardened ground is covered with gravel, and the cotton collecting shed built with concrete pillars has collapsed. There are two rows of tiled houses at the back, with about five to six or seven rooms in each row.

There are three auxiliary rooms next to the tile house. They seem to be usable, but the glass on the windows is broken and some is intact, and the original electrical wires are in disarray, making it look very desolate.

But Cui Changjia was quite satisfied. This cotton collection site looked quite desolate, but in fact it could be used after a little cleaning.

"Aze, can we rent this place?"
