"That's great!"

Hearing Xu Qiang say this, Yang Dong's face immediately showed joy.

"We are all partners, so I must consider the future of the dye factory." Xu Qiang smiled and continued, "And the dye formulas I provided you this time were all bought from factories in Shanghai at high prices. With this technology, we can expand markets in other provinces."

In fact, Xu Qiang has mastered many industrial dye production process formulas, but he will never give them all to Yang Dong, because in the future, if Xu Qiang wants to develop in Shanghai, then these formulas can become his new products, thereby quickly opening up the market.

As for Yang Dong, Xu Qiang will only provide them with some common dye formulas after a period of time, which can allow them to earn more money, but not too much. He wants to make a steady income over the long term so that they will develop a sense of dependence on him and be unable to leave Xu Qiang and go it alone.

"I have long wanted to sell our products to other places, but our product variety is too limited. We don't have what people want, and people don't want what we have. I am almost worried to death..." Yang Dong said.

"Old Yang, my suggestion is that you should increase your investment in the dye factory. The more equipment you buy, the greater the output will be, and the cost will decrease accordingly. Our dye business will sooner or later go the route of scale." Xu Qiang paused, then continued: "In addition, we must do a good job in environmental protection. Wastewater must be treated. This place will be where our descendants will live in the future. We can't mess it up..."

Xu Qiang still has to consider the local residents. Although local governments rarely pay attention to environmental protection these days, Xu Qiang still does not want this place to become a seriously polluted barren land in the future.

"I also know about environmental protection, but the key is that we don't understand much about this aspect..." Yang Dong said.

"I will give you a design drawing of the wastewater treatment system later. As for the necessary equipment, I can also help you purchase it. I will pay for it!" Xu Qiang said.

In fact, as for Yang Dong’s dye factory, the production capacity is not high, so the amount of wastewater discharged every day is not large. As for Xu Qiang’s dye workshop, since it adopts mature environmental protection technology, the wastewater discharged is negligible and does not require a wastewater treatment system.

So according to Xu Qiang's idea, they could first build a sedimentation tank, and then install some filtering and activated carbon adsorption devices later, which would be enough.

"Okay, as long as we have the drawings, we will do it right away." Yang Dong agreed.

Afterwards, Xu Qiang and Yang Dong ate and chatted, discussing many business matters. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening before they left and went back to the village to sleep.

After Yang Dong left, only Liu Jun, Da Hei Niu and Kang Jian were left in the room.

"Uncle, from what I heard from what you said just now, you are planning to stay in Shanghai in the future?" Liu Jun asked after closing the door and sitting next to Xu Qiang.

"Yes, that is the plan." Xu Qiang nodded when he heard it.

"Then what should we do with our business? If you're away for a long time, we brothers will lose our backbone..." Liu Jun said with a frown.

In the past few months, Xu Qiang has been acting like a hands-off boss, but Liu Jun and the others have no objections. After all, if Xu Qiang hadn't been there, they might still be farming and pulling carts in the village, living a barely adequate life.

Moreover, without Xu Qiang, their stall would not have been able to last so long. Not to mention the problem of production and sales qualifications, it would have been impossible for them to gain a foothold in the local area for a long time. They could not even prevent petty theft. And it was precisely because of Xu Qiang that neither Xiazhuang Village nor other villages dared to touch their equipment and stored products, even though Xu Qiang was not there for a long time.

But if Xu Qiang is away for a long time, they have no skills and lack the vision and strategy to develop the business, so they will feel very confused and lack confidence in the future. After all, as a boss, he needs to maintain the morale of his subordinates.

"How many months will you hold on..." Xu Qiang pondered for a moment, then said, "Then I want to ask you guys, if I want to move our factory to a city near Shanghai, are you willing to follow me?"

In Xu Qiang's plan, he will definitely build factories in cities around Shanghai in the future. Whether it is Changzhou or other cities in southern Jiangsu, the business environment is much better than this mountain valley. At least the transportation is well-developed, and all aspects of hardware and software facilities are better than here. Even if it is impossible to set up a private enterprise, you can start with a small workshop and strictly follow the principle of "seven up and eight down", or directly affiliate with a local enterprise. These are all good options.

But no matter what, Xu Qiang needs some trustworthy people around him, and Liu Jun and his gang have already won Xu Qiang's deep trust, so he is willing to bring these people to Shanghai.

"willing!"

As soon as Xu Qiang finished speaking, the three people present spoke almost in unison.

There is no doubt that these people are willing to follow Xu Qiang to explore the world outside.

As for homesickness, for men, it is not that important compared to career.

What's more, Liu Jun is an old bachelor, and Da Hei Niu is even more so. As long as they can make money, it doesn't matter to them to work in other places.

As for Kang Jian, he now regards Xu Qiang as his idol. Besides, coming here to work means leaving his hometown, so it doesn't make much difference to change places. In addition, Shanghai is a big city, and there is no Chinese who does not yearn for it. To be able to live and develop in such a place is simply a dream for many people.

"In that case, you can just work here with peace of mind. Once I have arranged things over there, you can come directly here." Xu Qiang paused, then continued, "As for the equipment here, take away what you can, and if you can't take away, we will just sell it. In short, you should be mentally prepared..."

"Don't worry, uncle. We will listen to you. We will do whatever you say." Liu Jun said.

"We'll listen to you." Da Hei Niu and Kang Jian also said quickly.

"Okay, I came back this time just to tell you about this." Xu Qiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let me tell you the truth. We have been together for quite some time, and I have always treated you as my close family. In my opinion, a business needs a strong team, and the unity within the team is the key to the success of the business. So my requirements for your abilities are secondary. The most important thing is that you must remain loyal to our team. If one day you don't want to do it anymore, we can still be friends, but if you sell formula technology behind my back and do something that betrays me, I will never let you go..."

Xu Qiang's words were harsh, but they were also what he really thought.

Whether it is Liu Jun or Kang Jian, Xu Qiang will teach them more about product process technology in the future. These things are company secrets and cannot be leaked out in any case. It is for this reason that Xu Qiang attaches great importance to the confidentiality of these technologies.

Judging from the current situation, Liu Jun and Kang Jian did not leak any information. During this period, people from other places' dye factories even came here to inspect, just to understand the production technology of indigo powder. However, Liu Jun and Kang Jian behaved very well and kept their mouth shut about the production process. Judging from the fact that the current domestic price of indigo powder is still high, they should not have leaked any information.

"Don't worry, uncle. We are keeping an eye on this. This is our technique for making a living. How could we possibly give it to others?"

"Boss Xu, we won't do that. It was you who gave me such a good job. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life." Kang Jian also said.

"That's good." Xu Qiang smiled with satisfaction after hearing that.

Afterwards, several people picked up their glasses, clinked them together, and drank the full glasses of wine...

……

After sleeping for a night at the peat field, Xu Qiang returned to the factory.

At noon, Xu Qiang met Xiao Gangpao and others again. They had lunch together at the Wuqi Restaurant. Xu Qiang also learned some information about Wang Yongsheng.

Among Wang Yongsheng's gang, one of them had a relative working in the county public security bureau, who helped to find out some information about Wang Yongsheng's case.

Now that Wang Yongsheng's case has passed the review stage, the county public security bureau will bring public prosecution against him.

Judging from similar cases handled by his relative, Wang Yongsheng will most likely be sentenced to less than three years in prison, and because the victim has issued a letter of forgiveness, the sentence will be shortened to one year, and the maximum will not exceed two years.

After learning about the situation, Xu Qiang arranged for Xiao Gangpao and others to continue to inquire about Wang Yongsheng. If there was any new information, they could write to him in the future to inform him. Xiao Gangpao and others readily agreed.

At this point, Xu Qiang had done everything he could do, and the last thing he had to do after returning to the factory was to go to the home of the factory director Liu Biao and deliver Liu Siying's letter to their home.

Even though his situation outside is now completely different from before, Xu Qiang still feels a little nervous when he thinks about facing Liu Biao.

After all, Xu Qiang and Liu Siying have already established a romantic relationship, but whether they can be together in the future depends on the attitudes of Liu Biao and his wife.

But no matter what, this level must be passed. Besides, Liu Biao and Xu Qiang are actually half a master-disciple relationship. Although Xu Qiang has not become a disciple, this is the actual situation.

Considering that Liu Biao usually came home very late, it was not until after seven o'clock in the evening that Xu Qiang arrived at Liu Biao's house, carrying some fruits and local specialties bought from Shanghai.

After knocking on the door twice gently, the moment the door opened, Liu Siying's mother appeared in front of Xu Qiang.

"Xu Qiang!? Why are you back?"

After seeing Xu Qiang, Zhao Xiufen said in surprise. (End of this chapter)
