Chapter 372: Chapter 371: (4 more updates)

Xu Zhiqiang was first stunned, then he understood. His brother-in-law had gone to the capital, so naturally, his sister wouldn’t possibly be staying in Nancheng all the time.

Although he was reluctant to leave, he didn’t say much.

When it came to discussing important matters, Xu Zhiqiang told Xu Niannian that he had secured markets in half of the cities in the entire south during this trip.

On this trip out, he had negotiated with more than a dozen cities.

Hearing this, Xu Niannian was shocked, "What did you just say? You’ve secured half of the markets in the entire south?"

Before he returned, Xu Erhong had told her that Zhiqiang had gone to negotiate agencies in more than a dozen cities.

Now there are more than a dozen more cities?

Oh my!

Xu Zhiqiang nodded his head, and seeing Xu Niannian’s astonished expression, he asked her, "Sister, is something wrong?"

Nothing was wrong, but it was just too unbelievable.

Xu Niannian looked at her younger brother with a scared expression.

Although she knew the market for her Liuyue Su was very good, it was incredibly unbelievable for her that in just one month’s time, he had negotiated with so many cities.

Was this still the shy and reticent brother she knew?

Who could have thought he would be so persuasive and eloquent?

What Xu Niannian didn’t know was that because of the market on the other side of the sea spreading Liuyue Su’s reputation, even people in other cities had heard of it, or even tasted it.

So when Xu Zhiqiang brought Liuyue Su over for negotiations, others would taste it and hear the name, and they would agree immediately.

However, Xu Zhiqiang’s negotiation skills had indeed improved a lot.

Xu Zhiqiang said, "Sister, that’s why we must expand our factory."

Isn’t expansion necessary?

If we don’t expand, even if we recruit workers, there will be no room for them to fit.

Moreover, because the factory was continuously adding personnel, originally, each household in the village had only one person working in the factory.

Now, at least two people from each household are working there.

With such a rush in factory orders, Xu Niannian had just spoken to Xu Erhong yesterday to understand the situation.

Currently, they had about 3 million in orders on hand, and that was just for a single month.

Now that Xu Zhiqiang had added more than a dozen cities, they would likely be unable to deliver in time.

Xu Niannian was worried that hurrying might affect the reputation of Liuyue Su.

So she told Erhong yesterday that they don’t need to intentionally speed up, they can do overtime, but they shouldn’t allow the staff to rush through to complete tasks.

With the addition of more than a dozen cities, a delay was certain.

Xu Niannian, worried, asked Xu Zhiqiang, "For these newly negotiated agencies in the more than a dozen cities, how long did you agree on for delivery?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiqiang immediately knew what Xu Niannian was worried about.

He scratched his head shyly, "Sister, you don’t need to worry about this. When I went to negotiate, I had already considered the problem of our factory having too many orders, so I didn’t set the timeline too tight with them. We agreed to supply for the first time two months later. Two months is enough time for us to expand the factory and hire more workers."

At those words, Xu Niannian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, however, she was quite surprised; she hadn’t expected her brother to have thought about this aspect.

She had thought he’d only mindlessly negotiate agencies, only focusing on growing the business.

Xu Niannian smiled and patted Xu Zhiqiang on the shoulder, "Not bad, you’ve done a great job."

Suddenly being praised by Xu Niannian, Xu Zhiqiang felt particularly bashful.

He always followed Niannian around, only knowing his sister was especially capable.

Xu Zhiqiang admired Xu Niannian immensely; in his eyes, his sister was all-powerful.

Scratching his head embarrassingly, he said, "Then, Sister, should we go talk to the village chief about acquiring land now?"

"Let’s go, we must."

If they were going to expand the factory, it would definitely be near the existing factory.

Xu Niannian and Xu Zhiqiang weren’t very clear about whom the nearby land belonged to, so it was certainly right to find the village chief.

The two of them went together to the village chief’s home, where it so happened that the team leader, Xu Aiguo, was freeloading for a meal at the village chief’s house.

Now every household in the village was living well, able to eat rice.

Whomever freeloading for a meal at someone’s house was a trivial matter.

All of these achievements had to be attributed to Xu Niannian.

If she hadn’t built the factory in the village, driving the economic development of the village, they would not possibly be living so well.

Now, who doesn’t know that a large factory has been built in Qingshan Village?

People from nearby villages were flocking here to do small business, making Qingshan Village as bustling as a small town.

Could the village chief and team leader be anything but happy with such a sight?

So seeing Xu Niannian and Xu Zhiqiang coming over, they were both incredibly hospitable.

The village chief and team leader quickly stood up to greet them, and team leader Xu Aiguo even joked, "Yo, big boss, you’ve finally come back. What is it, you have something to talk to us about?"

Xu Niannian was a busy person now; coming here obviously could not be just to chat and freeload a meal.

So there must be something she needed to discuss.

Xu Niannian felt a bit embarrassed by the enthusiasm of the team leader and village chief since they were her elders after all.

She politely smiled and said, "I’ve come with Zhiqiang because we want to discuss with the village chief and the team leader about the factory expansion."

"Expansion?"

Xu Aiguo and the village chief were both shocked; the factory was already so big, and yet they were planning to expand it.

It seemed the Xu Family was making quite a lot of money indeed.
