Whether it was an office, a construction site, or a workshop, wherever Hu Yaoxiang went there was chaos, and the working order in the kiln was destroyed.

Even more irritating is the calcining workshop. Recently, there has been a quality accident of rejected products. The chief technician, Master Geng, was so anxious that he ran to the office to find that Chen Tianhua was not there, and went straight to Wu Laosan's office.

"Manager Wu, this is serious. Please, please don't come."

Wu Laosan was stunned there. He was the second largest owner, how could I take care of it?

Chen Tianhua happened to return to the factory from town that day.

As soon as he entered the office door, Wu Laosan followed him in with a sad face:

"Young Master...Mr. Hua, you have to find a way to take care of her...Hu Yaoxiang."

Chen Tianhua stood up, followed Wu Laosan's finger, and glanced downstairs, which shocked him as well.

I saw Hu Yaoxiang wearing a thin light blue brocade cheongsam, holding a pink printed handkerchief in her hand, standing there covering her mouth and smiling coquettishly.

She raised eyebrows and swung her hips, and around her, a large number of onlookers were making noises, and the scene was chaotic.

This place doesn't look like a kiln, it's simply a zoo.

Chen Tianhua's eyebrows were furrowed, his face was solemn, and he closed his mouth for a long time before uttering: "Call her up!"

"Yeah!" Wu Laosan exited downstairs.

Chen Tianhua sat down on the chair in front of his desk, filled his pipe with tobacco, struck a match, lit it, and started smoking vigorously.

He thought about how to talk to her without falling out or offending her. If he could turn corruption into magic, he would have to use some means.

After a while, Hu Yaoxiang came in wrigglingly.

"Oh, Tu Gen, you are finally back. It's rare to see you in one day. I am here to die without Qing."

"Second Madam, please sit down first. Tu Gen wants to have a good talk with you today." Chen Tianhua tried to calm down his mood and spoke clearly.

"Oh, you are finally willing to talk to me. Hehe, I have been in the factory for several months, and you have ignored me and never said more than three sentences in total..." Hu Yaoxiang complained like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and continued to nag.

I can’t stop talking.

"Okay, it was all my fault. Now I formally apologize to you. From today on, I treat you as a family member. In the factory, you are my eldest sister. Are you willing to help me pack things, make the bed, and fetch water?

I won’t stop you from making tea or anything else.”

"You can come in and out of my office freely. I can also teach you some management knowledge, such as how to read monthly financial statements, sales income, sales, and inventory reports, and inventory tables, etc. How about it?"

Chen Tianhua raised his eyes and looked at Hu Yaoxiang with a smile.

Two red clouds flew over Hu Yaoxiang's face, and she lowered her head shyly, biting her handkerchief in her mouth, looking at Chen Tianhua seductively, and said:

"That's about it. I heard that you are very good to your sisters. I hope to be like them and not be disliked by you. I can see you every day and do something to help you. I like it, haha..."

Hu Yaoxiang is a superficial and vengeful woman. Seeing that she was rejected by Chen Tianhua, she certainly felt unbalanced.

"But I have a request." Chen Tianhua straightened his posture, put down his pipe and said in a deep voice:

"From now on, except for fetching water, you can no longer wander around the site. It is best to avoid visiting other offices. Can you do that?"

In fact, Hu Yaoxiang also knew that walking around would cause commotion and affect the order of the kiln, but sometimes she did it deliberately.

On the one hand, it was to retaliate against Chen Tianhua for looking down on her and being dismissive of her.

On the other hand, it was also my previous professional habit. It was a very proud thing for men to surround her.

"That's no problem. I don't mind seeing these stinky men. It's disgusting. As long as you watch and appreciate them, you have to keep your words."

"A gentleman keeps his word!"

"Well, I believe you, hee hee... hee!" Hu Yaoxiang snickered to herself, feeling proud of the success of her little plan.

…

In the blink of an eye, by the end of this year, Shuangqi Lime Kiln's series of products were of good quality, fair price, and abided by the contract, and the factory's product orders came like snowflakes.

Lime paste was out of stock for a while, causing two brothers, Shao Jun and Shao Xiang, who were the general distributors in the county, to take turns running to the factory, destroying orders.

"Dry adsorbents" are increasingly favored by wealthy families and high-end restaurants at home and abroad due to their strong adsorption, reasonable and scientific formulas such as ingredients and flavors, as well as exquisite packaging and no leakage, and the Amphibious brand is becoming more and more popular.

.

Chen Tianhua considers starting next year to compete for provincial and municipal agents to further expand the scope of distribution and expand nationwide.

The calcining workshop in the kiln works in two shifts, from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, with eight-hour shifts in between. They cannot be seen at night, so they often light kerosene lamps and burn the midnight oil.

Since the renovation of the first workshop has been completed, the output of series of products has increased five or six times compared with half a year ago, and it is already at full capacity.

The purchase volume of raw materials - shells has also increased by leaps and bounds, and the excavation points in this village can no longer meet the needs of the factory.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of mining suppliers, the purchase price was raised by a few percentage points, which greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the general public.

Men, women, and children from many families in neighboring villages went out as a whole, put on rain boots, dug with hoes, washed with dustpans, carried baskets, and rowed boats to deliver the goods.

Jiang Afan, Wu Laowu and others from the supply department were so busy receiving goods that they didn't even have time to eat. Wu Laosan and the staff from the office went down to help.

That afternoon, Chen Tianhua saw off the agents from Suzhou, Wuxi, and Ningbo and asked Ahua to arrange for them to stay in a hotel in the town.

At the end of the day, I had a dry mouth after rubbing my lips with the agent, so I drank a few sips of the hot tea handed over by Hu Yaoxiang and prepared to smoke a cigarette to catch my breath.

As soon as he stuffed the tobacco into his pipe, he saw Wu Laosan leading a man in his thirties in.

"Mr. Hua, this is manager Zhou, the dealer who made a special trip from Shanghai. Manager Zhou, this is Mr. Hua, our general manager."

"Hello, Manager Zhou! Welcome, it's been a hard journey."

"Hello, Mr. Hua, I have long admired your name."

After greetings, the two parties exchanged business cards. Manager Zhou Wenbo of Shanghai Huaqiang Trading Co., Ltd. No. 1.

Today's Shanghai's commercial status in the late Qing Dynasty was far greater than the influence of its administrative region.

Shanghai, now administratively called Shanghai County, is under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture in Jiangnan Province, but in fact it has become an independent international trading port.

Since the United Kingdom established its consulate in Shanghai, France, Germany, Austria, and the United States have all established consulates one after another.

The French Concession and the Public Concession were established one after another.

A large number of immigrants from abroad poured in.

The economic base determines the superstructure.

In fact, Shanghai’s current consumption level, consumption concept and consumption ability represent the highest level in the late Qing Dynasty.

For daily consumer goods, Shanghai is the barometer.

Chen Tianhua dreams of occupying the Shanghai market, starting from setting up a general distributor, a general agent, then setting up branches and even production plants.
