Yang Zhi, the old factory manager, heard that Su Ming had come up and told him a lot of things. He knew that Su Ming was here to buy the textile mill.
However, Su Ming and the other two were just sixteen or seventeen years old kids. They were here to buy a textile mill. Wasn't this nonsense?
Yang Zhi immediately said to Su Ming.
"Little guy, you said you wanted to buy this textile mill. Do you know how much it costs to buy it? I'm not going to ask for too much. These are the most advanced textile machines in the 1930s in Britain. They cost five million yuan when they were bought. They've been in use for 40 years now, and the machines are still running well. Although the production value can't compare to the textile machines of today, I'm not bragging. They're not much worse than the textile machines of today. There's no difference in the quality of the cloth produced. For this equipment and the land for the factory, it's not expensive for me to ask for 200,000, right?”
Su Ming said after hearing Yang Zhi's words.
"Manager Yang, you're right. These machines might still be usable, but they're from the 1930s after all. No matter how much they cost back then, they're now an obsolete product. It's like a piece of clothing. You bought it for 50 yuan back then, but you've been wearing it for decades. Moreover, the country is currently implementing economic reform and will close all factories with old equipment. When the workers are laid off, the country will at most subsidize a few months 'salary and let them find their own way out. Old Manager Yang, do you think these workers in your factory can find a job to support a large family in a short period of time?”
When Yang Zhi heard Su Ming's words, his heart was heavy. This textile mill was where his family worked for three generations. From his father to his son, his family had worked in the textile mill for three generations.
But now, the state's subsidies to their factories were getting lesser and lesser. Moreover, their textile factories did not have any orders to produce. The workers had not started work for half a year and had not received their salaries for three months. They could not support themselves for long with subsidies.
He had also gone to his superiors more than once, but it was still useless.
Yang Zhi immediately said to Su Ming.
"Then how much are you prepared to pay for it?”
Su Ming replied when he saw that Yang Zhi had relented.
"I'll buy those textile machines at 1,100 dollars per piece. I just checked them. There are 80 machines in total, which is 80,000 dollars. I'll buy this land at 500 dollars per mu. This textile mill has 100 mu of land, which is 50,000 dollars.”
(500 RMB per Mu. I've done some research. I think this price was quite reasonable in the 1970s. In fact, it's a little too high.) This was because there weren't any 10,000-yuan households in the 1970s. Only in the early 1980s, when the country had just opened up the economic reform, the first batch of people who became rich were called 10,000-yuan households.）
"The price is reasonable, but it's a bit lower than what I expected.”
Yang Zhi answered Su Ming.
"Hehe, you said that it was also the expected price. There are many things that can't meet expectations. Don't tell me you don't know?”
Su Ming chuckled when he heard Yang Zhi's words.
"You're right. There are many things that don't meet expectations.”
Hearing Su Ming's words, Yang Zhi agreed.
Immediately after.
Yang Zhi said to Su Ming.
"Kid, I still have a batch of raw materials in my textile factory. There are about 50 tons of them. We bought them last year and spent 5,000 yuan.”
"No problem. As long as you are willing to sell this textile mill to me, this small amount of money is nothing.”
Su Ming said generously.
"Hehe, you're quite generous.”Yang Zhi smiled at Su Ming.
Then, he said to Su Ming with a serious expression.
"Brat, we've said so much. Can you take out so much money? 135,000 yuan was not a small sum! "Also, this factory is the country. Even if I'm the factory manager, I don't have the right to sell it. What we talked about just now still doesn't count. I have to talk to the leader. If the leader agrees, then I'll agree. If he doesn't agree, then I have no choice. The price we agreed on earlier is empty talk.”
"Don't worry about that. Those leaders can't wait for you to find them and sell the factory manager. As long as you get the approval of the leaders, we'll immediately sign a contract with you. We'll pay you 135,000 yuan on the spot and let you pay the workers the salary that you owe for three months.”
Su Ming heard the old factory manager's words and said to him.
