Chapter 241: Following Miyamoto to Inspect the Factory
Chapter 241: Following Miyamoto to Inspect the Factory
Two days later, before Lin Ze left the house in the morning, Miyamoto came to his door.
"Lin Sang, Lin Sang, it's me!"
Lin Ze went out to open the door, and when he saw it was Miyamoto, he was surprised and said, "Miyamoto-kun, you're back from Tianjin!"
"Ha! Lin-san, the blueprint, is that the one you gave to Mieko? Can you design blueprints?"
Seeing that this was not the place to talk, Lin Ze pulled Miyamoto and said, "Let's go to your house and talk. It's very cold here."
"Yes, yes, let's go home and talk about it."
When they arrived at Miyamoto's house, Mieko saw Lin Ze coming and quickly turned around to tidy herself up. After making sure that there was nothing inappropriate, she turned around and smiled brightly.
"Hey, why did you invite Mr. Lin here? He must be very busy, right?"
Miyamoto laughed and said, "Mieko, you don't understand. Lin-san is going to get rich!"
Then he pulled Lin Ze to sit down.
For some reason, Mieko became more and more obsessed with Chinese culture and put several chairs in the living room.
Now Miyamoto is almost accustomed to sitting on the chair.
"Mr. Lin, tell me quickly, can you design blueprints?"
"It's not me. We have set up a training school for reserve police officers, right? They have drawing classes. What's more, there is a genius among those kids. He saw that the stove in the school had to burn a lot of coal, so he suddenly had an idea and designed this coal-saving stove. Although I don't quite understand it, I think it's a very useful thing, right?"
Miyamoto slapped the table and said, "It's so useful! Lin-san, I have a feeling that this stove might be very useful! We should speed up production before winter is over. But even if winter is over, it doesn't matter. Everyone will always need to make fire and cook! It's just that the demand may not be as strong as in winter. Lin-san, let's cooperate!"
Mieko interrupted, "This is Lin Jun's blueprint. Miyamoto, you can't treat him unfairly. He saved your life!"
Miyamoto agreed. "Of course, I'm a businessman. Although I do business to make money, I enjoy the feeling of selling the products produced in my factory to various places! Mr. Lin, don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. We will set up this new factory and you will take 70% of the profits. How about that?"
After saying that, Miyamoto looked at Lin Ze eagerly and squinted his eyes.
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Miyamoto-kun's investment must be considerable, and this kind of furnace requires some metal materials, and it requires Miyamoto-kun to smooth the relationship with the iron smelting institute. I think we should split it 50-50, how about that?"
Miyamoto pretended to hesitate, "This...is not good..."
"Okay, there's no need to talk so much between us. Miyamoto-kun said that he hopes to see the things he produces are popular, and so do I. We are in the same boat!"
Miyamoto rubbed his hands and smiled happily.
A 50-50 split is already very considerate of Lin Sang. After all, it's just a drawing. If it wasn't for Mieko's request, I'm afraid a 30-70 ratio would be a more appropriate ratio.
However, Miyamoto also thought that Mieko did the right thing. After all, Lin Sang was his savior, and people should be grateful and repay kindness.
Thinking of this, Miyamoto felt more and more that he had married a good wife. It was truly precious that she could understand the principles so well when it came to interests!
Thinking of this, he smiled ingratiatingly at Mieko. Mieko sat there dignified and generous, glaring at him imperceptibly.
Miyamoto looked away guiltily.
I don't know if it's because he's old or because he's busy all day for business, but in short, his health is getting worse and worse. In a nutshell, he's just a loser.
And he liked Mieko's strong attitude more and more. Logically speaking, women had a very low status among the Japanese, and it was almost impossible for a wife to scold her husband.
But Miyamoto just happened to be content with this situation. After he came back last night, Mieko not only did not cook for him, but also scolded him for running around outside. As a result, Miyamoto felt relieved and wished that Mieko would scold him a few more times.
Thinking of this, Miyamoto felt excited.
I still feel that I am not worthy of Mieko. She is young, beautiful and elegant, but I am old, fat and short.
Turning his head to look at Lin Ze, Miyamoto suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
After the two finished talking about the matter, Lin Ze stood up and was about to leave.
Mieko said quickly: "If you have nothing to do this morning, why don't you stay for lunch? I want to thank you for taking out such an important blueprint!"
Miyamoto quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, Lin-san, please stay for dinner. I can also take advantage of you and taste Mieko's cooking."
Mieko scolded, "Don't say such embarrassing things in front of the guests!"
"Ha! Ha!"
Looking at Miyamoto who was nodding and bowing, Lin Ze was speechless.
They really aren't from the same family, Miyamoto and Mieko are truly a match made in heaven!
It seems that old man Miyamoto is enjoying it!
"It's still early. It will take a long time to have lunch, right? Why don't I go to the office first and come back at noon."
Miyamoto suggested, "Mr. Lin, why don't we go take a look at the clothing factory in the outer city? They have already started production and will be supplying the Fifth Division in a few days. Hehe, in order to get this order, I have used a lot of connections. I can make a lot of money. When the time comes, I will not forget to give Mr. Lin a share of the profits."
Lin Ze was about to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped and said, "Miyamoto-kun, you're amazing! You got the order so quickly. Dividends and such are not a big deal, but I also contributed to the construction of the factory, so I really have to go and take a look."
The two of them went out, Miyamoto waved to the driver, and the two got in the car and went to the outer city.
The wasteland where the shacks were demolished has now been turned into a large yard with three rows of "factory buildings" in it.
It's actually a brick wall covered with a tin roof.
"Mr. Lin, you see, there are more than 300 workers in total. The printed and dyed cloth from the island city is transferred to the Jinpu Railway via the Jiaoji Railway, and then transported here. These workers will sew the cut cloth, and each person is responsible for a part."
Lin Ze nodded. This Miyamoto was indeed good at doing business. He was proficient in every aspect, including raw materials, transportation, production, and sales. No wonder he was able to grow bigger and bigger with the help of the war.
"Mr. Lin, even though this factory doesn't look very impressive, it's very profitable! In the island city, the printing and dyeing of cloth is of high quality and low price, and the labor here is quite cheap. We only need to provide them with a meal and then pay them a small salary based on the number of pieces they produce."
“Will the order be delivered in time?”
Miyamoto was very confident. "Don't worry, Lin-san. To be honest, a quartermaster of the Fifth Division is a friend of Kitahara-kun and I. We are from the same hometown and old classmates. It will take some time for the Fifth Division to set out, which is enough time for us to produce those uniforms and beddings."
