Then, Old Smith asked for more details.
When he heard Li Zixuan's father say that it would be difficult to open a factory with 5,000 US dollars, he immediately decided to lend the Li family 1,000 US dollars.
Both Li Shi and Li Zixuan were moved by this.
Although it sounded like a good deal, no one could predict whether it would be a profit or a loss in the future.
After all, some inventions were difficult to realize.
After the Li father and son left, Harvey asked his father curiously,"
"Dad, are you really optimistic about this razor?”
Old Smith would not hide anything from his son.
"Not entirely. Although I haven't gone to school, I know that if I want to sell a product well, I have to sell it well.
It also required a certain amount of commercial operations. Otherwise, no matter how good the goods were, they might not be able to sell.”
At this point, he sighed.
"Lending money to your Uncle Li is actually because I think highly of Bruce!”
"Bruce?" Harvey was a little surprised. Why did his father value his brother so much?
Who knew that Old Smith would say to Little Fatty,"
"At least not everyone can invent and create at the age of ten like little Bruce. I think highly of his intelligence.
I believe that little Bruce will definitely be a great figure in the future."
At this point, Old Smith warned,"
"So, Harvey, you must follow Bruce in the future. You must not betray him, understand?”
Hearing his father's serious tone, Harvey nodded subconsciously.
Hence, with the 1,000 dollars that Old Smith lent, Li Zixuan's father finally made up his mind to support his son.
The next morning,
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining a bag of Wei Long Spicy Strips from the 21st century!”
For three consecutive days, the first day was 21st-century toilet paper, the second day was a bag of Longjing tea, and the third day was Weilong spicy sticks.
It could be said that for the Level 0 Li family, the daily check-in basically did not receive any useful rewards.
He casually took out the Spicy Strip from the space, opened the packaging, took out one, and took a bite.
A nostalgic taste spread in his mouth, and a spicy feeling filled his mouth.
"En, the taste is not bad!"
After breakfast, Li Zixuan did not go to school as usual. Instead, he accompanied Old Smith to the San Francisco patent office.
Looking at Old Smith, who was carrying a Martini Henry single-shot rifle on his back, Li Zixuan suddenly felt like he was a fox using the tiger's might, and his confidence increased greatly.
Just as he had expected, when the employees of the San Francisco patent office saw a red-necked man carrying a gun, they immediately threw away their bad thoughts about Li Zixuan.
Soon, he applied for a patent for the shape design of the renamed Li Shaver.
According to the patent office, it would take some time to get the patent certificate.
Hence, Old Smith brought Li Zixuan out of the patent office.
On the other side, according to Li Zixuan's request, his father, Li Shi, found a bank intermediary named James through his friend.
Due to the economic depression in the Eagle Jam Nation in recent years, some companies in San Francisco had a hard time.
As a result, some companies that could not pay off their debts would be taken away by the bank and then packaged to repay the bank's loans.
James was very enthusiastic when he heard that Li Shi was going to buy the factory.
Dressed in a black suit, he immediately took a stack of corporate assets that needed to be dealt with and brought Li Shi on a field trip.
" This is a toy factory. It covers an area of 30 acres. The machines and equipment are all new on the eighth floor. There are also 50 skilled workers. The package price is only 15,000 US dollars."
"This is a rubber boot factory, covering an area of 50 acres. The machinery and equipment are all brand new, and the package price is 20,000 US dollars.”
.....
Li Shi visited some factories in the suburbs of San Francisco. When he came to a factory with weeds growing outside, he stopped.
"This is a small factory that produces nails. The package price is five thousand dollars.”
As the two of them opened the rusty chain lock on the wooden door of the factory, James brought Li Shi in.
The area was not large. Compared to factories that occupied dozens of acres, this place was at most about ten acres, which was about the same as the 60 acres in China.
However, even though it was small, it had all kinds of machinery and equipment inside.
Although Li Shi did not know the names and usage of these equipment, he had his eyes on this factory at a glance.
The biggest reason was that it was cheap. According to the bank, it only cost 5,000 dollars to pack.
This was only the bank's asking price. The actual transaction price still needed to be negotiated.
According to the discussion he had with his son, Li Zixuan, after leaving Old Smith's house last night, the investment of 5,000 US dollars could only be less than 3,000 US dollars for the plant and equipment.
The remaining money was needed to buy raw materials, replenish equipment, hire workers, and so on.
Therefore, Li Shi did not say anything and left the nail factory with James, the bank agent.
Next, they visited two factories. They were either too expensive or too far away from the city. It was completely unsuitable.
"That's all for today. Thank you for your company, Mr. James. I need to discuss with my family and investment partners before making a decision!”
Li Shi said.
Hearing this, James quickly said that it was understandable.
"Mr. Li, if you've made a decision, you can call the investment department of the San Francisco branch of Citicorp!”
Li Shi smiled and nodded.
Thus, the two of them returned to San Francisco in the hired carriage.
