Chapter 150 – 150 The Factory Starts Operation

Xie Jiang suddenly clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.

“A hundred people worked for two months and that’s all you’ve done? You’ve got the nerve to ask for so much pay? Stop embarrassing our construction industry; I think you’re all just loafing around.”

Those words provoked the workers, who picked up their tools and prepared to fight with Xie Jiang.

The workers behind Xie Jiang were no pushovers either; seeing the confrontation, they casually picked up the rebars from the ground.

Chen Yu cleared his throat, “As I said just now, I will take care of your wages. Bring out all the contracts you signed with Boss Hou, and I’ll need you to give me a receipt as well.”

The leader, a middle-aged man, looked at Chen Yu coldly, “Kid, you’re still wet behind the ears, stop trying to act capable. That’s 1.9 million, not 190 yuan. You think you can just say you’ll take care of it? Show us the money first.”

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and then opened the current account page on his cellphone.

When the middle-aged man saw the figure displayed, he was taken aback and his attitude immediately changed.

“Oh wow, we really have a big boss here!”

“Cut the crap!” Chen Yu said impatiently, “Bring out what I just asked for.”

“Alright, here you go!” The middle-aged man quickly unslung the leather bag he was carrying and dumped out a thick stack of contracts.

After Chen Yu received the receipt and confirmed there were no issues with the contracts, he transferred the 1.9 million.

The middle-aged man looked at his account balance with glee before looking back up at Chen Yu with a gaze that suggested he saw him as a sucker.

“I’ll give you a piece of advice, boss. This factory is a money pit. Now that you’ve bought it, you should make a clean break from Boss Hou and not be a fool continually pouring money into it!”

“My business is none of your concern. Now, we’re done here, so please leave. Otherwise, I’ll have to accuse you of trespassing.”

The middle-aged man didn’t say anything more, hurriedly herding his people out and hastily leaving.

Hou Jianchang looked helpless, “Chen, sorry for causing you trouble!”

Chen Yu patted his shoulder, “No worries, as long as we get the factory up and running soon, these troubles will pass.”

In fact, Chen Yu was interested in Hou Jianchang himself.

Ten years ago, media all over Suzhou City was filled with news about Hou Jianchang – the overseas returnee who invested in building a factory, a paragon of industry ethics, a business prodigy!

Hou Jianchang even made it onto the list of Suzhou City’s wealthiest for a time.

If it weren’t for being trapped by a coalition against him, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

But his talent and experience are undeniable assets, things that even Chen Yu doesn’t have.

That is why Chen Yu gave him a thirty-six percent share right off the bat.

At 8 p.m., as the first machine passed the operational test, other machines also started up one after another.

“Congratulations, Host, for completing a day of business. Since costs exceeded profits, no points will be added for now.”

It seemed the system still hadn’t incorporated the factory into its system.

Chen Yu didn’t think too much of it and picked up the phone to call the previous raw material supplier.

Now that the factory had started, he was not sure whether the previous suppliers could guarantee the supply.

To his surprise, the person on the other end picked up the phone, absolutely thrilled, and immediately agreed to the big order.

After all, an order worth a hundred million would make anyone come over and sign without conditions.

Chen Yu didn’t transfer all the money but only paid a deposit of thirty million. The supplier promised to deliver all the raw materials Chen Yu needed to the factory in batches within three days.
