After Zhou Hexuan returned to Shanghai, he did not go to the hotel, but came directly to Xu Zhimo's house. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAnyway, there are many rooms here, and they are empty, and there are cooks and servants to serve.

It was the weekend, and Xu Zhimo was resting at home.

As soon as he saw Zhou Hexuan, Xu Zhimo asked with concern: "Mingcheng, I heard that there was a riot in Nanjing, are you okay?" ”

"Don't say it, it's hard to say," Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile, "I'll introduce you to two friends, Booker, a professor of agriculture at Jinling University, this is his wife Pearl, who is also a writer." ”

Xu Zhimo was hospitable, shook hands with the Pearl Race couple and said, "Good two! ”

"Hello Mr. Xu, my name in Chinese is Pearl Sai." Pearl said with a smile.

Xu Zhimo was surprised: "Ms. Pearl speaks Chinese really well. ”

"We've always lived in China." Booker explained.

Zhou Hexuan was as casual as he was at home, sat down and picked up the teacup and asked, "Where is Xiao Man?" ”

Xu Zhimo said: "She went to play cards with a friend, and she may not come back until evening." ”

Zhou Hexuan didn't inquire again, and sat on the sofa and drank tea slowly. However, Xu Zhimo and Pearl Sai chatted happily, and Pearl Sai also took out the first draft of her "Earth", Xu Zhimo praised it and said that this is a romantic epic in rural China.

Romantic epics often mean detachment from reality.

The crowd chatted for a while, and suddenly someone came to visit.

The visitor's name was Zhang Jiazhu, about twenty-four or five years old, who had just graduated from Harvard University last year. He is the eighth brother of Xu Zhimo's ex-wife, Zhang Youyi, and founded Crescent Bookstore (major shareholder) in Shanghai at the beginning of the year, specializing in publishing and selling the works of Crescent poets.

It is also strange for the Xu and Zhang families to say that it is clear that Xu Zhimo abandoned his wife and has divorced Zhang Youyi, but they are very close to each other.

Xu Shenru also bought a house for her ex-daughter-in-law in Shanghai last month, and Zhang Jiazhu mingled with her ex-brother-in-law all day long, and these people were not embarrassed to get along.

"Yu Jiu, why do you have time to play with me?" Xu Zhimo asked with a smile.

Zhang Jiazhu said angrily: "I am free all day long, and I only have time left." ”

Zhang Jiazhu is indeed qualified to be idle, and his family is also a big tyrant.

Zhang Runyi has a total of 12 children, the eldest is Shanghai Youba, a famous entrepreneur; The second child plays politics and academics, is the founder of the National Socialist Party, and one of the four King Kongs of Neo-Confucianism; The third child is engaged in finance, and later generations are known as the father of modern Chinese banks......

Zhang Jiazhu is the eighth oldest, although he is not promising at the moment, but he also graduated from Harvard and will become a well-known industrialist in the future.

Xu Zhimo smiled: "Let me introduce you, Yu Jiu, this is Mr. Zhou Hexuan and Mr. Zhou......"

Zhang Jiazhu belonged to the acute child, and before Xu Zhimo finished speaking, he clapped his hands and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhou, I have read your poems, and I have admired them for a long time!" Mr. Zhou also moved to Shanghai? ”

"I'm here to find someone to work with in business." Zhou Hexuan said.

"What business?" Zhang Jiazhu didn't even understand the situation, so he patted his chest and said, "You can find me to cooperate." ”

Zhou Hexuan took out a sample of underwear funny: "Belly pocket business." ”

Zhang Jiazhu picked up his underwear and looked at it a few times: "This seems to be a new type of underwear, it's very beautiful." ”

The Pearl Race couple were also drawn in, and Booker observed: "These are snaps, which seem to be more convenient than the new underwear in the United States." ”

"And the style is good-looking, too." Pearl added.

Zhang Jiazhu laughed and said: "Little sister must like it, or pull her in to participate in the shares." ”

The "little sister" in Zhang Jiazhu's mouth is Xu Zhimo's former sister-in-law Zhang Jiarui, who studied fashion design, and will become a judge of various talent shows in the Republic of China in a few years, a well-known social activist.

Zhou Hexuan's eyes rolled, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Yujiu, do you really plan to buy shares?" ”

"Of course, new underwear is so new, young people should try new things." Zhang Jiazhu said. He has not worried about food and clothing since he was a child, has not experienced the hardships of life, and does things according to his own preferences.

"Okay, let's go to Uncle Xu now, he also plans to invest." Zhou Hexuan immediately got up.

"Let's go, just do it!" Zhang Jiazhu quite agreed with Zhou Hexuan's resolute and resolute action.

After the two left, Xu Zhimo hadn't come back to his senses - how could it be that after only a few words of meeting for the first time, they had already negotiated cooperation?

The reason is very simple, Zhou Hexuan is not worried about Xu Shenru, it is enough to pull the Zhang family in. Although the relationship between the two families is good, since Xu Zhimo and Zhang Youyi divorced, there has been a rift, and the Zhang family is full of resentment towards the Xu family.

It was Zhang Jiazhu who was stunned that he would run behind Xu Zhimo's ass.

The visit of Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Jiazhu made Xu Shenru a little surprised, and when he figured it out, he couldn't cry or laugh. To tell the truth, his family has a big business, and he doesn't look down on that belly pocket business at all, let alone play tricks and dirty hands!

Alas, let them young people toss.

Xu Shen used the attitude of treating the younger generation, and talked about cooperation with Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Jiazhu very patiently. It doesn't matter if you even suffer a little loss, it should be regarded as compensation for the Zhang family, who let her son abandon his wife.

The address of the underwear factory is tentatively located in Pudong, and Shanghai is backed by the sea and connected to the Yangtze River, which is convenient for purchasing and shipping, and it is better to recruit workers.

Xu Shenru invested 20,000 yuan to be responsible for the supply and production of raw materials, accounting for 30% of the shares; Zhang Jiazhu invested 20,000 yuan, responsible for sales and management, accounting for 30% of the shares; Zhou Hexuan invested 20,000 yuan and provided monopoly rights, responsible for publicizing public opinion, accounting for 40% of the shares.

Xu Shenru and Zhang Jiazhu don't actually need to ask in person, both have their own professionals, and they can just send a few people to take care of things.

In the next half month, Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Jiazhu were both running all over the ground. They are new to the business world, and they follow the professionals to make fools, and they are more likely to watch the excitement.

Xu Shenru has great powers, and before the factory has been selected, he has already shipped 200 sewing machines, and is in full swing to recruit and train workers.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Shanghai belonged to the core base of light industry, and there were countless factories and companies, especially the textile industry.

During World War I, and in the years that followed, China's textile industry flourished like never before, and any factory could make a lot of money. But after 1921, the comeback of Western and Japanese businessmen, coupled with the oversupply of China's textile industry, the market collapsed in an instant. Even Zhang Jian's factory has been losing money year after year, not to mention others -- the boycott movement of foreign goods in the 20s was born out of this background.

Zhou Hexuan is now engaged in an underwear factory, and he has two advantages at the beginning: first, the textile industry is fiercely competitive, resulting in low prices of cotton and yarn and low cost of raw materials; Second, the closure of large factories a few years ago caused countless workers to lose their jobs, and now workers are recruited to train casually and can take up their posts in a few days.

Even the factory building is ready-made, and a closed yarn factory can start construction in less than half a month after simple decoration and arrangement.
