Chapter 38: Acquisition of the Factory

  Chapter Thirty-Eight: Acquisition of the Factory

  The boss of Yonghui is a middle-aged man with the surname Zhang, slightly chubby, wearing black-framed glasses, and has a worldly air about him. Du Le and Jiang Yun had already told him their intentions before they arrived, so Boss Zhang received them very warmly.

  Mr. Zhang personally took Du Le and Jiang Yun to visit the internal environment of the factory, and also asked employees to start the machinery to prove that the production line was intact.

  There were not many workers in the factory. Du Le carefully counted them and saw only twenty-three people. The factory had three production workshops, but only one workshop was operating normally.

  What surprised Du Le most was that there was also a small warehouse in the factory. Moreover, the configuration facilities in the factory were relatively complete.

  After the visit, Mr. Zhang led Du Le and others into an office, personally pouring them each a cup of tea.

  "Mr. Du, what do you think of my factory?" Mr. Zhang asked earnestly.

  Du Le gave Zhang boss a somewhat strange look, as if he was eager to sell the factory.

  "Not bad, the equipment is also okay."

  "If you're satisfied, can we discuss the acquisition?" said Mr. Zhang.

  "Boss Zhang, you seem to be in a hurry to sell the factory. What's the reason?" Du Le couldn't help but ask.

  "Boss Du, I won't hide it from you, I'm in urgent need of money and this factory is losing a day's worth of operation every day it stays open, making it hard to keep running. So I have no choice but to sell it." Zhang sighed, "Nowadays there are many instant noodle factories, producing all sorts of brands at very low prices. Everyone knows they use subpar materials, cheap stuff. On the other hand, our Yonghui factory only does local business and doesn't dare to be too excessive, using high-quality materials, but in terms of cost, we can't compete with them."

  "Some people with a bit of money like branded instant noodles, imported instant noodles. People who are struggling to make ends meet tend to go for cheaper instant noodles. Moreover, since the big supermarket entered Fuyong City and no longer accepts our Yonghui instant noodles, small supermarkets have reduced their purchases because we don't have the money to advertise and our brand awareness is not high, so the factory's machine utilization rate has been getting lower and lower."

  "We have nearly 10,000 boxes of flat noodles stored in the warehouse. If we still can't sell them out after another three months, they will expire."

  Mr. Zhang's sincere expression made Du Le feel that this person was very down-to-earth and at least didn't intentionally hide anything. As for the problems he mentioned, Du Le wasn't worried about them at all.

  "Mr. Zhang, name a price." Since Mr. Zhang was being straightforward, he might as well be too.

  Mr. Zhang was delighted to hear Du Le's words and hastily replied, "Mr. Du, you're very straightforward, so I'll give you a straight price too - 42.5 million, and the factory is yours."

  "Director Zhang, does the factory have any foreign debts? How about the arrangement for the workers?" Du Le asked, this point must be clarified, can't take over and then trouble arises.

  "4.25 million, no settlement at all, and the dismissal compensation paid by the workers will also be borne by me," said Zhang Laoban.

  Du Le thought for a moment and said: "No problem, but there's one thing I need your help with."

  Mr. Zhang hastily asked: "What's going on? Please speak."

  "I need skilled workers, can you help me find some real skilled workers? I hope to quickly resume production after acquiring the factory." Time is of the essence now, Du Leke didn't want to waste too much time, and neither he nor Jiang Yun were locals or familiar with production matters, so re-recruiting would be a huge waste of time.

  "No problem, as long as the salary is suitable, I think the original workers should be very willing to continue staying and working. In fact, they are all trained from some villages nearby, and even some of the workers who have left, I can also help post recruitment messages. At that time, there will be many workers who will come back." Boss Zhang replied.

  Du Le nodded and gave Jiang Yun a signal with his eyes.

  Jiang Yun took out the letter of intent he had prepared earlier and handed it to Director Zhang.

  The letter of intent is very simple, just listing some notes and the agreed acquisition price. To complete the entire acquisition plan, Du Le and others still need to sign a more detailed contract and go through official registration. Boss Zhang saw that Du Le was well-prepared and happily signed his name on the letter of intent.

  After completing the formalities, Du Le handed over the cash to Zhang Laoban, and Yonghui Food Processing Factory officially became his industry.

  With the help of Boss Zhang, Du Le retained 36 employees in the factory, including two security guards. There were also tens of thousands of packets of Yonghui braised beef noodles, braised pork ribs noodles, and small chicken mushroom noodles, three brands of instant noodles, which became inventory in Du Le's company.

  That day, Du Le and Jiang Yun did not return to Fuhai City, but stayed in a hotel near the factory. After a busy day, the fatigue left by the operation had not dissipated, making Du Le feel more and more unwell. Originally wanted to discuss the development of the factory, but after dinner, Du Le's fatigue became even heavier, so he told Jiang Yun that he was tired and went back to his room to rest first.

  Back in the room, he hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign, locked the door, and Du Le thought of meditating to accumulate energy. However, after some thought, he took off his clothes and activated the transmission device.

  After several attempts, Du Le discovered that the effect of operating in Chu State seemed to be better than in Dongnan Province. He could feel that there were two places where the air was different, and the density of the air was not the same.

  In an instant, Du Le appeared in his own bedroom in Jinyang City. He casually put on a pair of shorts and didn't waste any time, taking out a Pei Yuan Dan from space and swallowing it, then sat down cross-legged, circulating the Qi in his body according to the Changchun Jue's method.

  After running for twenty-one weeks, Du Le's essence, energy and spirit gradually recovered, and Du Le could feel that the faint energy in his body had become stronger.

  According to the Huaxia ancient martial arts, the internal skill is running with true energy. However, Du Le felt that the energy he absorbed was very similar to the spiritual energy described in the classics. The effect of Pei Yuan Dan was also good, and the energy inside his body recovered quickly. In view of this, Du Le called the spiritual energy that had been absorbed into his body and transformed into a part of his own energy as "yuan qi".

  The yuanqi inside the body seems to have a great effect. When saving people, Du Le can even use yuanqi to explore the state of some organs in the human body. If he understands the structure of the human body and knows the situation of each organ under normal circumstances, then he may become a doctor.

  However, Du Le had just graduated and didn't have the heart to study medicine again, so he thought about it casually.

  Du Le observed the changes in his body's yuanqi, and slowly discovered that most of the yuanqi in his body was gathering in his dantian. As his yuanqi grew, it seemed to be showing signs of forming a dan.

  Is this the process that the second stage of Nei Qi Cheng Dan has to go through?
