It's not wrong to say that Li You Ran is her benefactor. If it weren't for Li You Ran, Bai Bing Er would have been taken by Hou Qiang today, and the power left by her father would also be swallowed up. She might be thrown away by Hou Qiang after he got bored with her one day, or she might rise up to counterattack and kill Hou Qiang one day.
No matter what, Li You Ran helped her get through a crisis, making her very grateful to him. The information was also real and had been stored with him, so the money could be considered as repayment.
Li You Ran walked on the road and felt more and more that something was off. Finally, she slapped her forehead and said: "Ah! That's not right!"
Nothing was gained, but instead got a hot potato. Holding onto this thing, let alone a talisman, if people find out, it's likely that he'll be the first to be killed off. And what about that box of money? If we go back again, there won't even be anything left, as it would have already been taken away by others.
I wanted to go back, but I thought about it and decided not to. Maybe next time, I hope that woman didn't play me, or else I'll never trust women again.
Back home, it was already 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, and I fell asleep drowsily. Then the next day, after being woken up and having breakfast, I arrived at the company. Tang Mingying was already waiting there. Today we agreed to go see the goods.
Tang Mingling took Li You Ran to the address mentioned in the small advertisement, but the more they walked, the more desolate it became. They finally stopped and said: "Tang Mingling, what are you doing? What kind of factory is this? We're already in the suburbs, it's so remote and deserted! What if it's a gang of robbers? That would be terrible!"
Tang Mingying was also frightened and said: "It shouldn't be that serious, right? What are we going to do then?"
Li You Ran wasn't afraid and said: "Tang Tang, you call that boss and tell him we've arrived, let him come out to greet us."
"Wow! You've called out all the sweet nothings, how intimate!" He Meili was jealous, and the sour tone in her words was palpable.
Tang Mingying glanced at He Meili with a proud face, then took out her phone and called the factory director.
The boss of the garment factory on the other side was also waiting with a worried face, afraid that they wouldn't come again. As soon as the phone rang, he immediately picked it up and found out that they had arrived but couldn't find their way. The boss immediately got on his motorcycle to go pick them up. It wasn't like he didn't have a car before, but this was about paying off debts! He had already sold his car, if Li You Ran and the others didn't come again, he would have to sell the factory building and the land too.
When the factory director found Li You Ran and others, it was already half an hour later. Li You Ran was almost asleep. After the factory director apologized repeatedly, he drove with them to the garment factory.
As soon as I arrived at the garment factory, I was scared by the situation here, it's too eerie! There is not a single person, can't really be said by He Meili, this is a group of robbers and cheaters, Li You Ran raised twelve points of caution, and actively protected He Meili and Tang Mingying behind her.
It's actually moving for two women! Of course, seeing each other's existence and humming at the same time, what they think in their hearts is that it would be great if there was no such woman!
Of course, such a situation disappeared after arriving at the warehouse. Seeing a warehouse full of inventory, Li You Ran felt relieved, and the factory director also felt relieved after seeing Li You Ran's expression. It seems that the factory is saved.
"Boss! You've seen the goods too, shall we sign the contract and make the deal?" The factory director was a bit anxious, hoping to get the money as soon as possible and sell the goods.
"Hold on! Let's talk about it first! How much do these goods cost? We need to compare prices too." Li You Ran spoke up, taking advantage of the boss's eagerness to sell and wanting to cut a deal.
"Look! Isn't it written on the flyer? You see! This military blanket, single-person use, 66 yuan a piece, double-person use, 131 yuan a piece. And those clothes! All are large cotton-padded military coats! The lowest price is 80 yuan for a set! Can't be cheaper, all at cost price!"
The factory director got anxious! Why are we still negotiating prices?! Everything is sold at cost, no profit for ourselves at all.
"It sounds pretty cheap! But the quality......" The price is indeed cheap, Li You Ran didn't dare to push people to death, so he questioned its quality again.
"The quality is absolutely guaranteed, it used to be a military product and was never sold outside." The factory director said proudly.
"Is that so! Then why didn't you buy it this time?" Tang Mingying immediately added another knife.
"This! This isn't just a coincidence, is someone behind the scenes manipulating things?! Otherwise, how could I be selling at such a low price?! Honestly, I'll tell you all, my factory used to only produce for internal military needs, but then there was a change in leadership within the military... They have their own people doing this now, so naturally I got eliminated. It's not that my quality is bad, it's just that this time I'm in a hurry to pay back debts, otherwise I wouldn't be selling at such a low price either! If you want it, take it! If not, I'm out of options!"
The boss is getting angry! At this price, you still want to haggle, it's really the poorer you are, the more you see ghosts.
"Don't be in a hurry, boss! I won't mention the price! And we don't need to discuss quality either. However, I need a large quantity at one time, what kind of discount can you give me?"
Li You Ran thinks that doing business shouldn't drive people to death, it's better to leave a thread of hope. Of course, this only applies on Earth, the gold coins in other realms are his real goal.
"How much do you want?" The boss looked at Li You Ran and thought what he said made sense, so he asked.
"How much can I get? Hehe! It depends on how much you have! Actually, this little thing is not a big deal, the problem is what benefits I get, and I'm also buying for others. If someone gives me better treatment than you, I won't be able to push the money out!"
Li You Ran said with a relaxed face, actually just want to squeeze out some oil and water, if not, can also get some rebate, the mosquito is small but it's still meat, can save a little bit.
The factory director gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! You buy everything! I don't want your money for this warehouse of tents. Can't you just take it all away?"
Compared to quilts and clothes, the number of tents is much smaller. In order to sell things out, the factory owner also made a big loss. Li You Ran didn't count how many there were, just took a rough look and then bought them all!
It's just a small profit, but the old factory director's face turned red and his neck thickened as if smoke was coming out. Tang Mingling timely stepped forward to communicate with the director, then went to check the quantity.
Li You Ran waited outside for a while, and then Tang Mingying and the factory director came out. They checked the goods and found that there were 10,000 quilts, with half of them being single-person quilts and the other half being double-person quilts. There were also 12,000 pieces of clothing. The rest, such as hats and gloves, were not counted and were all considered to be gifts.
After the price was calculated clearly, Li You Ran took He Mei Li and Tang Ming Ying away. The goods were transported to the new rented warehouse and settled immediately without delay. This made the factory owner so happy that he almost rolled over with joy, it seemed his factory didn't need to be sold after all.
It's still worth it, just grease the wheels with some human relationships and connections in the prison, at most add a bit more money, can't you get away with it?
Found the goods, Li You Ran was no longer anxious, and could go to the warehouse to pick up the items tonight, then head to the other world to make money.
At this time, the castle of Li You Ran in another world was welcoming a new group of guests. They were a group of refugees who came to the vicinity of Li You Ran's castle, supporting each other and asking for shelter.
John saw the situation and didn't know how to respond, so he called Zieg. After seeing it, Zieg let them camp on the outskirts first, then asked Oak to allocate some grain and grass to rescue them urgently, but a problem arose from Oak's side.
The oak tree in charge of the grain refused to open the granary, no matter how Zig explained the facts and reason. The oak was stubbornly sticking to one principle: the master had entrusted him with managing the grain and distributing it to those who worked for him, but this group of people didn't qualify! Why should they be given any? Absolutely not!
In the end, Zig had no choice but to let the workers divide half of the grain for the refugees. The workers grumbled and complained, but unfortunately they did not dare disobey Zig's orders, so they reluctantly divided half of it out.
They are not the powerful ones like oak, who dares to disobey Zig's orders? This is the material controller and quality supervisor appointed by the master himself. Recently, I heard that he has also been given a seed, saying that in the future, he will be the master's tax officer, which is the highest authority over the serfs. Can workers do it for a lifetime? And what about when the master wants someone with skills? In the end, they still have to return to being serfs under Zig's jurisdiction.
John also didn't quite understand Zig's approach and said, "Why give them half of it! The workers will be exhausted, if the project progress can't satisfy the adults, we'll be punished, what if we get kicked out?"
"Don't worry! If the adults knew my methods, they would agree too. These people will become strong laborers in the future, and the castle of the adults will also need servants and soldiers. I wish there were more people coming, but unfortunately, I couldn't persuade that little guy from Oak. He completely took the master's orders as gospel and didn't know how to be flexible."
Ziggy was very dissatisfied that he couldn't persuade the oak tree, no matter how humble his tone was, as a former nobleman, but the other party didn't even bother to respond.
"I think that's why the master likes oak so much! And to top it off, he even gave him a fine weapon! To think we don't even have crude wooden guns!"
What was originally a simple complaint had turned into deep worry for Zige. He had forgotten something! Originally, he hadn't thought of it, but now he knew that he had forgotten to defend himself. If this group of refugees were actually bandits in disguise, then this place wouldn't be able to withstand them. Without even a single weapon, they would be as tempting to the bandits as naked women.
"John! Have the workers bring up both iron hammers and iron shovels, no one is allowed to put them down tonight, we must be on guard. Also, send more people to keep an eye on those refugees, I'm afraid of trouble."
"What's wrong! Is there something wrong? Otherwise I'll drive them all away! Anyway, giving them a meal is also a matter of course."
"This won't do, it will stir up a rebellion, let's wait and see! Hopefully nothing will happen."
At this time, Li You Ran had already loaded the goods in the warehouse and entered the temple. When entering the temple, a different change appeared. A thread of faith actually came from Earth, and on the small map of the first room, I saw the map of the Earth. And the owner of this thread of faith was actually Bai Bing Er! It seems that her gratitude is real.
And Li You Ran felt that with this change, his own abilities on Earth would be strengthened. Another flash of light merged into Li You Ran's body, and this time it was a divine technique related to time.
