"These are all your office supplies. Uncle Wang has already bought them. If you need anything, feel free to look for Uncle Wang. He's an old accountant in our family business. He's a very good person and has principles.”
Meng Lin immediately took the position of the deputy general manager. She could not wait to clench her fists and shout,"Yay ~" However, she held it in. Such a stupid action could not appear on the young miss of the Republic of China. It would scare the people around her, especially her brother who was serious. "Brother, I want to work now!"
"Hehe, you're already in character?" Azurepeak smiled.
"Yes, I want to use the fastest speed to make everyone look at me in a new light.”
"Alright, follow me to the factory immediately."
The factory was a very large place. Every worker was working hard, and there were no other people." Grandpa is in the local specialty industry. Currently, the three companies are in the local specialty industry. Other than some casual snacks, there are also mahogany combs, tobacco pipes, porcelain, and other crafts. There are also fabrics and clothes. Come, let's familiarize ourselves with all the products and cost prices.”Azurepeak said as he took a book from a table in the corner of the factory and handed it to Meng Lin.
Meng Lin flipped it open. The book was very thick. There were many words and data written in it, stroke by stroke. It was not easy to finish reading it in a short time." Brother, can I take it to the office to read?"”
"You can, but if you want to master the work as soon as possible, you can't just sit in the office. You have to experience it yourself in the factory. In the beginning, I treated myself as an ordinary worker. I worked and ate with everyone all day long so that I could familiarize myself with the work as soon as possible. More importantly, I learned to understand the people's feelings.”
"If big brother can do it, I can do it too. From today onwards, I want to become one with everyone.”
"Hehe, you're really motivated. As expected of the descendant of our Xia family. You're really different from the other daughters of other families. Come, let's go and see the quality of the products we've purchased this time.”
They came to a warehouse. There were some sacks on the ground. The sacks contained all kinds of finished melon seeds, peanuts, chestnuts, and other snack foods. Qing Feng grabbed a handful of melon seeds and looked at them carefully. He showed them to Meng Lin and said,"What do you think of the quality of the melon seeds this time?”
Meng Lin looked at it carefully and said," The grains are full, the board is flat, the grains are big and well-proportioned, the color is bright, and it's very dry. I think it's not bad."”
Azurepeak laughed." Hehe, I didn't expect you to be an expert. I underestimated you."”Then, he grabbed a handful of peanuts from the sack beside him and said,""Look at this."
"These peanuts look very small, but they are longer than ordinary peanuts. There might be three of them. These peanuts are especially fragrant.”
"Hehe, look at this." As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of chestnuts.
"Small chestnuts are sweet, big chestnuts are fragrant." Meng Lin felt a sense of accomplishment. He felt that his brother had not stumped him.
"Haha, not bad."
"Brother, why does Grandpa make local specialties?”
"Local specialties are a kind of food for the masses. If the poor eat it, the rich will eat it too. However, we will divide these products into three grades: refined, ordinary, and non-processed. The refined products are suitable for leisure food in bars and dance halls. Many of the leisure snacks in bars and dance halls in Shanghai are from our family. Ordinary processing is suitable for people with middle-end consumption levels, and non-processed is suitable for people with low-end income. They usually buy it themselves and cook it themselves. This way, they can save a processing fee.”
"I see! Then where are the mahogany combs, tobacco pipes, and porcelain?”
"Oh, those are the goods from the other two factories. Come, let's go take a look."
Azurepeak drove to another factory not far away. The machines in the factory were rumbling, and the workers were busy on the assembly line. Meng Lin came to a large box and casually picked up one of the finished tobacco pipes in the box to examine. The tobacco pipe was not too big, but it was exquisitely made. It was pure black, and one could tell that it was of high quality at a glance. There were even flow-like patterns engraved on it. Meng Lin placed the tobacco pipe in his hand and looked at it for a long time. Azurepeak walked over and asked,"How is it? Does it look good?"
"Brother, what kind of wood is this?”
"To make a pipe, you must use date wood because the wood of date wood is very hard and thin. Its biggest feature is its resistance to fire.”
"How hard is it?"
Azurepeak picked up the tobacco pipe in Meng Lin's hand and smashed it against the machine. The result was shocking. There was actually a small pit on the side of the tobacco pipe that was smashed.
Azurepeak was stunned on the spot." That's not right. I didn't use much strength. The jujube wood won't be so soft."”After saying that, he picked up the box and examined the few tobacco pipes for a while before saying,"Strange…strange…"
Azurepeak did not give up. He picked up a few tobacco pipes from the box on the ground and observed them." How could this be?”
"What's wrong, brother?"
"The tobacco pipe should be made of date wood, but two-thirds of the tobacco pipe in this box is date wood, and one-third is not date wood. It's very cheap poplar wood. Poplar wood was much softer than jujube wood. If it was made into a pipe, it would definitely not be able to withstand fire. If it were to spread to the market, it would definitely affect the reputation of our products.”After Azurepeak finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. He walked to the depths of the factory, opened several boxes on the ground, grabbed a few finished tobacco pipes, and examined them carefully." It's really strange. Every box is like this. Most of them are jujube wood tobacco pipes, and occasionally, there are a few Yang wood ones. What's going on?”
Just as the siblings were confused, Uncle Wang ran in from outside the factory. He looked panicked and said breathlessly,"Young Master, I've been looking for you for a long time. They said that you came to this factory.”
"What's wrong, Uncle Wang?"
"Master Wu called. He said that the tobacco pipe he bought from us burned out after a few uses. It's not a jujube wood tobacco pipe at all. He spent jujube wood money to buy Yang Mu's tobacco pipe. He said that he wants to return all of them and wants us to double the compensation.”
"What?" Azurepeak was shocked.
"Uncle Wang, I just found the boxes here. Two-thirds of the tobacco pipes in each box are made of jujube wood and one-third of them are made of poplar wood. Do you know what's going on?”
Uncle Wang was shocked. He walked directly to the box and opened it to observe. He then went to the other boxes to observe. He turned around and said to Azurepeak,"Eldest Young Master, that's really the case.”
"Everyone, stop what you're doing and come over.”Uncle Wang shouted at the workers.
The workers stopped what they were doing and gathered in front of Azurepeak and Uncle Wang, looking at each other. Azurepeak said," I found that the boxes that contain the tobacco pipes are two-thirds of jujube wood tobacco pipes and one-third of poplar wood tobacco pipes. In other words, the poplar wood tobacco pipes are mixed with jujube wood tobacco pipes. Does everyone know which part of the assembly line had a problem? If anyone reported it in time and made up for the mistakes in production, the bonus for this month would be doubled.”Azurepeak's tone was very decisive, as if he would not stop until he investigated.
"I don't know. What's going on?”The workers whispered to each other. Some of them shook their heads, some curled their lips, and some lowered their heads. No one knew what they were thinking.
"Eldest Young Master, we won't be able to find anything in a short while. It's best if you go and appease Master Wu first. Leave this to me.”Uncle Wang said.
"Alright, if the poplar wood pipe in Master Wu's hand is really from our family, we will definitely compensate you. Then I'll go first." Azurepeak was about to leave the factory when Meng Lin stopped him." Brother, I'll go with you."”
"Let's go."
As soon as the siblings left the factory, Uncle Wang said to the workers,""Those in charge of producing tobacco pipes, come over. The rest of you can go and get busy.”Seven or eight workers were left in the crowd, and the rest went to their own work.
Azurepeak drove his sister and told her about Master Wu along the way. Master Wu had just celebrated his 60th birthday and was still in his prime. A few days before his birthday, he had bought a large batch of tobacco pipes from the Xia family's factory and planned to give them to his good friends who had come to celebrate his birthday. Master Wu came from a poor family when he was young and got married very early. He was stubborn, stubborn, and had a bad temper. However, he was surprisingly hardworking, had extraordinary courage, and was sensitive to opportunities. He had made a fortune. During the First World War, he was less than 40 years old and made a fortune by selling firearms. After the First World War, he used the money from selling firearms to invest in many dance clubs, bars, and casinos in Shanghai. For some reason, he became a regular customer of the Xia family. All the leisure snacks of the dance halls, bars, and casinos under his management were purchased from the Xia family. Every birthday and festival, there was an endless stream of guests at his house. He also bought many crafts such as ceramic pipes from the Xia family as gifts. When his wives bought cloth, they would not go to any shop but our house. Even the clothes and benefits of their employees were bought from the Xia family. They had been on good terms with the Xia family for many years. There have never been any problems, but something happened as soon as I took office. It's really like the heavens are about to give me a great responsibility.”Ah! Azurepeak smiled bitterly when he said this.
"Then will Master Wu cut off our cooperation because of this?”
As soon as Meng Lin finished speaking, Azurepeak drove the car to the ground floor of a villa. Then, he braked. Before he could answer his sister's question, one of the male bodyguards on both sides of the villa's door immediately went forward to open the door.
"Young Master Xia, Master Wu knew that you would come and specially asked us to wait.”The bodyguard was very polite.
"Sorry to trouble you. Please lead the way.”Azurepeak brought Meng Lin upstairs with the bodyguard and stopped in front of an office. The bodyguard knocked on the door and a man's voice came from inside the room,""Come in."
The bodyguard pushed the door open and bowed."Master Wu, Young Master Xia is here."
"Let him in."
"Yes."
As soon as Xia Qingfeng entered the room with Meng Lin, he saw Master Wu drinking tea on the sofa with his head lowered. He did not seem to have any intention of welcoming the siblings. Azurepeak was quick-witted. Without waiting for Lord Wu to raise his head, he went straight to the point and said very sincerely,"Master Wu, we're here today to apologize to you.”
