Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 55.6: The Bitter Heroine (68)
Suddenly, the father and daughter heard a complaining voice.
“The young master was obviously suffering from severe seasickness, but he still insisted on making this trip. Now he has to suffer all over again.”
“No problem, just sit a few more times and you’ll get used to it.” Shao Yu felt that the voice this time sounded familiar.
He looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the young Mr. Qin whom he had met at Third Master Bai’s place.
Young Mr. Qin Xun’s face was pale at this time, and he was leaning on the railing. He no longer looked as high-spirited as when they first met.
Shao Yu handed a couple of pills to his daughter.
Shao Yingniang immediately understood and brought the pills to Qin Xun.
The first thing Qin Xun saw was a pair of slender hands, and then he saw the white jade ring on the hands.
He was very familiar with the ring and was immediately very surprised why it appeared here. He raised his head and after seeing Shao Yingniang clearly, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why is the young lady here? Are you with Third Master Bai?”
Shao Yingniang frowned and said, “Why should I be with Third Master Bai?”
Qin Xun was stunned.
Shao Yingniang continued, “This is a pill for seasickness. My father prepared it. It’s very effective.”
Qin Xun took it, looked at Shao Yu who was standing not far away, and bowed to express his gratitude.
Shao Yingniang stopped talking to him. When she returned to Shao Yu’s side, she still had some annoyance on her face and said, “This guy thought that Third Master Bai and I were together.”
Shao Yu smiled and said, “When a person has no head, he is like a vassal of others. Once the head is gone, others become vassals.”
Shao Yingniang listened thoughtfully.
After sailing on the sea for several days, the ship finally arrived at the port city.
Today’s Hong Kong is much more prosperous than Shanghai, and foreigners can be seen everywhere at the docks.
The people here dress in a more Western style, and there are many men and women wearing Western clothes on the streets.
Qin Xun invited the Shao father and daughter to stay at Qin’s house for a while, but was rejected by Shao Yu. Their relationship was not close to begin with, and after Shao Yu refused, Qin Xun did not force it, but just asked Shao Yu for some pills to treat sea sickness.
Shao Yingniang only felt that even though her father and she were both coming to Hong Kong City for the first time, her father was very familiar with every place in the city, as if he had been here before.
After the father and daughter found a place to rest for a day, they went out the next day to visit two loom manufacturing factories in the port city.
The first factory was doing very good business. It didn’t care about Shao Yu and his daughter, whose clothes were not particularly outstanding, and the receptionist they sent was also very perfunctory.
Even so, Shao Yu and his daughter still took a careful tour of the factory and took in everything Shao Yingniang wanted to see.
After leaving the factory, Shao Yingniang said, “The looms for the Hucheng Weaving Factory were bought from him.”
“Do you understand the advantages and disadvantages of this loom?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Yingniang explained in detail to Shao Yu. It was obvious that she had put a lot of hard work into the new loom. A girl who was obviously a liberal arts student could talk about machines so eloquently.
After hearing this, Shao Yu nodded secretly. Shao Yingniang was more knowledgeable than he thought.
The two went to the second factory.
This factory is much smaller in scale, but perhaps because its business has been almost taken over by another factory, it is rare for this factory to get a single order. Even the person who received the two people was the factory manager.
“Although our factory is not big, the machines we produce are very durable…” The manager kept talking to Shao Yu.
Shao Yu said, “It’s my daughter who wants to buy the machine.”
The manager smiled awkwardly, not expecting that he had recognized the wrong customer. He immediately apologized to Shao Yingniang.
Of course, Shao Yingniang would not care about such a small matter, but asked several questions about the machine in a row.
The manager didn’t think much of Shao Yingniang at first, but when he heard Shao Yingniang speak, he knew that although this girl looked young, she was not someone who could be easily fooled.
While the two were talking, Shao Yu ran to the prototype and looked at it carefully.
Seeing that he was just looking at it with his hands behind his back and not fiddling with the machine, the manager did not stop Shao Yu.
The more Shao Yingniang asked, the more nervous the manager became. Finally, he even said directly: “Miss, although our machines are not as good as others, our prices are much cheaper.”
“No matter how cheap the price is, it’s useless if the machine is not good.” Shao Yingniang sighed.
She was almost certain that there were real reasons why this factory could not compete with its competitors.
The manager was a little discouraged at this time and said, “I know our machines are not as good as others and our technology is not good enough, but we really have put enough effort into it.”
Shao Yu suddenly spoke up at this time and said, “Although the technology is not good, fortunately there is still room for recovery.”
The manager turned around and looked at Shao Yu in surprise.
Shao Yu said: “Twenty percent of the shares, I will help you improve the technology and ensure that the machine is not weaker than other companies.”
