Chapter 301: The cottage appears [Request full order]

The processing model of our own garment factory will be copied and imitated.

Lu Yang had thought of this a long time ago.

Not surprised either.

But he didn't expect that one of his relatives was also involved. Well, no, he can no longer be considered a relative, because the fifth brother Lu Youli has been expelled from the Lu family.

This was the decision made by my uncle himself when he was still alive.

Although the aunt later thought about going back on her word and asking the fifth son, Lu Youli, to bring his wife back, after all, this wife gave birth to a big fat grandson for the Lu family the night before Uncle Lu Yang's funeral.

It can be considered a great achievement.

But it didn't work out in the end because the other brothers didn't agree.

The one who opposed most strongly was Lao Liu.

Ever since Lu Youzhi got involved with his fifth brother, Ma Laoliu and others who had almost caused him to go to jail, he completely distanced himself from this fifth brother, and even regarded him as the same enemy as Ma Laoliu and others.

How can he forgive this?

Why didn’t you think more before you stole the money?

Why didn't you think more when you were mixing with your enemies and trying to make trouble for your family?

Here I will quote Lao Liu’s original words: “If Lao Wu comes back, then I will leave. I will leave the Lu family. Why? No reason, I am just ashamed to be associated with such a person, ashamed to be a brother to such a person.”

Lu Yang's aunt cried and made a scene, almost scratching the face of the youngest child, but in the end, the family was not reunited because Lu Youzhi refused to listen. In the end, she could only wail and resigned herself to her fate and told the fifth child: "Your brothers and sisters don't agree with you coming back. You should stay in Xiahuai Village next door."

Lu Yang guessed that this might be the reason why Lu Youli was completely disappointed (there was no way he could benefit from his cousin Lu Yang), and chose to draw a clear line with this side and embark on the path of copycat and imitation garment factories.

But it's disappointing.

Anyway, one more or one less of him won't make any more or less. The model of the garment factory is known to everyone and it is not a secret. Anyone who is interested and wants to make money will imitate it. Isn't this obvious?

Lu Yang waved his hand and asked the third brother Lu Youyi to go in first. He handed him bowls and chopsticks and then comforted him, "It's okay. If he wants to imitate, then let him. Anyway, he's not the only one imitating us. Third brother, don't mind it, and don't bother him. Let's just wait and see what he does. Maybe in the future, when the fifth brother gets rich, we can still benefit from it."

Xiaoxiao made another joke.

Lu Youyi took the bowl and chopsticks, feeling a little touched. After all, his cousin was already such a big boss now. Even when some high-ranking officials from the county came to the factory for research and wanted to meet his cousin, his cousin might not be able to spare the time. However, he still treated him as always, like a real brother.

Especially his leg. Ever since he became lame, he has been living a life worse than death. If it weren't for his cousin, how could he have married such a beautiful and young wife?

As soon as I thought about it.

Lu Youyi stole a glance at his wife, especially noticing that her belly was slightly bulging, and a happy smile spread across his face.

She sensed the burning gaze of her man.

Guo gave him a glare: "What are you looking at? Eat quickly."

Lu Yang laughed.

Yin Mingyue also covered her mouth and laughed.

Lu Youyi blushed, but he had also trained himself. He was in charge of more than a dozen people. He first lowered his head to eat a mouthful of dry rice, then changed the subject in a buzzing voice: "Lao Wu is an unkind person. He will definitely not make a fortune."

Lu Yang opened his mouth, intending to say: Being kind or righteous has nothing to do with making money.

But think about it and forget it.

There is no need to debate about this matter, especially when it involves brothers. Even though they are brothers who have fallen out, why bother? What good will it matter if you win the debate?
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

"Today's poached eggs are great. Come on, one spoon each. Take one. Look, I made them especially soft-boiled."

Lu Yang would also change the subject.

After dinner, the two pregnant women stayed on the sofa to watch a movie. Brothers Lu Yang and Lu Youyi rushed to clean up the dishes and then went upstairs together.

Entered the study.

Lu Yang walked straight to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a box.

This is a very beautifully packaged box.

The cover shows a business man holding a mobile phone close to his ear, as if he is making a phone call.

No need to guess then.

There is a mobile phone inside, and it is a new one.

Lu Yang pushed forward directly: "Third brother, this is for you."

Lu Youyi was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "This thing is too valuable, cousin, you should keep it. I can't take it."

Lu Yang stood up, grabbed the phone box, and with his other hand, grabbed the hand of his third brother Lu Youyi, and slapped the phone and the box into Lu Youyi's hand: "Okay, third brother, don't refuse anymore. This is not a gift for you, but an arrangement by the company."

Lu Youyi wanted to refuse again.

Lu Yang's eyes widened. "I told you, this is the company's arrangement. All senior executives must wear mobile phones from now on so that they can communicate at any time."

Now that businesses are getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more business avenues involved. If a company executive doesn't even have a cell phone and can't get in touch with anyone, what's the point of doing business?
Lu Yang had wanted to do this for a long time.

I've just been weighing the pros and cons. It just so happens that the price of mobile phones has dropped a bit recently, and the drop is quite significant. The reason is simple. Foreign brands like Motorola, Ericsson, etc. can all be bought in mainland China.

The basic network signal is okay, and can barely make calls in the city.

Don't even think about it if you're living in the countryside, a mobile phone with an extended built-in antenna is much better in this respect.

It was with this in mind that Lu Yang purchased mobile phones like his own, rather than the more fashionable flip phones.

Lu Youyi saw that his cousin said so.

I had no choice but to accept the things.

Lu Yang then smiled and said, "That's right, why are you being so polite to me, Third Brother, take a look in my drawer, isn't there more than one phone for you? And our eldest brother, I must also equip him with one, and the sixth brother who is far away in Yangcheng heard that the price of the big mobile phone had dropped a few days ago, so he bought himself one first. Now the company has introduced a policy to equip all the senior executives with one, hehe, I can't help but mad at him to death."

Lu Yang made another joke.

Let's get back to business. "Old Six called me earlier and said he was getting married to a college girl. It would bring honor to our Lu family. I suggested that he hold the wedding in Yangcheng and let our eldest brother, his wife, and my aunt go over to meet the new bride. Third brother, I'm sure you know about this. I wonder when my eldest brother, his wife, and my aunt are going to leave for Yangcheng?"

Lu Youyi grinned and said, "The sixth child is really a good boy, better than his brothers. He is so beautiful this time. As for when my eldest brother, his wife and my mother will leave for Guangzhou, I am not sure, but I think it will be in the next few days. I heard from Meijia that my eldest sister-in-law and her family are already buying gifts for their new brother and sister-in-law."

Meijia is his wife, Guo Meijia, Lu Yang's third sister-in-law. I heard that they are already preparing gifts, so they must be really about to leave.

Lu Yang nodded and said, "Speaking of this, I have something I want to discuss with you, Third Brother."

Lu Youyi said: "Cousin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

He was worried that the situation of holding this big mobile phone was not stable enough, and he hoped that Lu Yang would find him something to do and give him more responsibilities.

Lu Yang shook his head and smiled: "Third brother, you don't have to be so nervous. Arrange a big brother for the senior management. What I am going to say next has nothing to do with it.

I thought so.

In the future, we will definitely not limit our business to Zhao County, we must always go out, and as the saying goes, fathers and sons fight together in battle, and brothers fight together to kill tigers. As my business in other places grows and my stalls spread wider and wider, I will always need some trustworthy people to help me manage them.

We won’t talk about taking care of it, we’ll just keep an eye on it and make sure it’s not taken advantage of by outsiders.”

"That's not difficult."

Lu Youyi nodded.

When it comes to managing the business well and then expanding it, he doesn't think he has the ability to do so. But he believes he has the energy to keep an eye on the business, act as a supervisor, and prevent outsiders from cheating his cousin's money.

Lu Yang nodded: "It's not difficult, so now there is such a situation. The branch factory over there in the city has a huge investment. From the perspective of employment model alone, there is an assembly line and centralized management, while here it is subcontracting and decentralized management. The profit of the main factory is higher than that of the branch factory, but in my opinion, in the future market economy, it is only a matter of time before the branch factory exceeds the main factory in scale.

But I don’t feel at ease without any of my own people.”

Having said that, Lu Yang paused to give his third brother some time to think.

Then he said, "I plan to choose one person between you and our eldest brother to go over and form a team with the old director Geng in the city over there. Third brother, what do you think?"

The previous candidate was Wei Shu.

The two brothers Lu Youyi and Lu Youren were not considered by Lu Yang.

But Lu Yang thought about it later.

Firstly, Sister Wei Shu did an amazing job. In just two months during the summer vacation, she negotiated the acquisition of the branch factory, including its reconstruction. In addition, now that Mou Qizhong had been won over by her, a 300 million order had been received.

There is no need to spend too much time running the branch factory. Just follow the procedures and assign an honest person to keep an eye on it.

Besides, in Yangcheng, to be honest, Lu Yang is a little bit worried about that kid Lao Liu.

On the surface, Lao Liu continued to be delegated power and given more responsibilities, asking him to contact properties and prepare to stock up a batch of ready-made houses.

In fact, Sister Wei Shu, Da Jun, Xiao Xiao.

The three of them are in Yangcheng now.

It is equivalent to Lu Yangan’s three pairs of eyes in Yang Village. These three pairs of eyes are always watching Lao Liu’s every move.

Especially Sister Wei Shu.

Lu Yang gave her the power to suspend Lao Liu's work at any time if she found something wrong. She could also take over as the person in charge of the branch, and conduct a thorough audit of the branch's finances in Yangcheng.

Of course, Lu Yang did not want this kind of situation to happen, but he just wanted to be on the safe side in case Lao Liu got confused again, his brain got hot and overloaded, and he fell into some beauty trap again.

Letting Sister Wei Shu stay in Yangcheng for the time being does not mean that Lu Yang is getting rid of her, but talents like Sister Wei Shu should be well trained.

Only by seeing all kinds of situations can you become a great person in the future.

Lu Yang is considering the overall situation. Good steel should be used on the blade. After all, he does not have many talented people under his command.

As for Sister Wei Shu, it includes arrangements like Xiaoxiao's.

Lu Yang's real idea is to wait until next year, after the spring, no, after the autumn. After the autumn, the Shanghai market will be mature, and the stock exchange and stock trading will be open to the world again and open to the majority of investors.

This is a sign that a great era is coming.

Market economy, private economy, Hong Kong capital, Taiwan capital, and foreign capital are pouring into the mainland like crazy.

The various parties fought against each other, some fell down, some stood up, some suffered huge losses and went straight to the rooftop, and some became multi-millionaires or billionaires, driving luxury cars, yachts, and private jets.

Lu Yang has been waiting for this day for a long time, but how can he join the fight without his own team?
Considering that he doesn't have many cards in his hand, the only ones he can show off are Sister Wei Shu, Xiaoxiao, and the other female college students. Plus, Brother Ping'an is pretty good at fighting, and Da Jun is pretty good at bluffing people. Taking these two pairs with him to Shanghai in the second half of next year will definitely be much better than taking anyone else with him.

Lu Youyi took less time to think than Lu Yang imagined.

There was almost no hesitation.

"I go."

He said firmly.

"Have you thought about it? Third sister-in-law is pregnant, and your legs... To be honest, I actually prefer your eldest brother."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lu Youyi looked him straight in the eyes and said, "Brother is the eldest son. Father is gone, but mother is still alive. Mother would not want you to leave for a long time to work in other places. But I am different. I can leave at any time, or I can stay in the city. When you remember me and no longer need me, I can come back at any time."

Lu Yang nodded: "Okay, then Big Brother will stay and take charge of the main factory at home, and you will go to the city to take charge of the branch factory. Don't worry, I won't let you go alone for nothing. You can also take your third sister-in-law with you. I have reserved a small family building for you there."

Lu Youyi shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'll go explore the way by myself first, and let Meijia stay at home to take care of the baby. She can also accompany my brother and sister-in-law to relieve their fatigue."

Lu Yang agreed without thinking about it.

"But there's no rush for this matter. At least if you want to leave, you have to wait for Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law to finish hosting the wedding for Old Six and come back from Yangcheng before you talk about it."

"Oh, by the way, our factory can stop expanding now. Now that counterfeit versions of our brand of clothes have appeared on the market, the wholesale price of clothes in the market will surely fall."

"But we don't have to follow yet."

"First and foremost, we need to take this opportunity to improve our quality and further enhance our brand power. We need to make clothes that stand out from other knockoffs so that people can tell at a glance that our authentic clothes are better than their imitations."

"Also, we should focus on completing the export orders first."

Lu Youyi also nodded.

"Well, I know what to do."

He got angry when he talked about this because there was a thief in his own family involved.
