Chapter 140 Buying a Factory
Xu Youyou looked at the golden pointer of the system, which pointed directly at the factory sign hanging by the door.
She had followed the system to pick up bargains so many times that she immediately understood what the system meant. Of course, what she wanted to pick up was not this brand, but she had to buy this factory.
Xu Youyou gave Xu Fang a look.
Xu Fang walked forward and knocked on the factory door.
"Come on, come on."
Not long after, a security guard came to open the door. The man looked to be in his early fifties, wearing a coat that was neither new nor old. His old face was tightly wrinkled, and when you got close to him, you could smell the strong smell of cigarettes on him.
"You're all dressed so nicely, you don't look like you're here to work. Are you here to buy electric scooters? Have you contacted the factory in advance?"
Xu Fang skillfully stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the bag and handed it over. The security guard and the driver were both well-informed people. If one wanted to find out the specific situation, finding them was the fastest way.
After the security guard took the cigarette, his expression visibly softened. He said, "Just ask whatever you want to know. I'll tell you everything I can."
Xu Youyou casually asked, "If I want to buy a batch of electric vehicles, who should I talk to?"
The security guard took the cigarette and said in a more down-to-earth manner, "Little girl, it's not that our factory doesn't want to sell it to you. It's just that there's something wrong with the goods in the factory. If we sell it to you now, you'll have to return it later. So don't buy it."
Xu Youyou was stunned. She didn't expect that this was an electric car factory that was in trouble.
"What's wrong with the car? Can't it run at all?" Xu Youyou asked.
The security guard said, "The country issued a new regulation this month, limiting the speed of two-wheeled electric vehicles to 25 mph. Our factory received the news too late, and we just produced a large number of electric vehicles that exceeded the speed limit. Now we can't sell them at all."
Xu Youyou didn't expect the other party to be in this situation, and asked: "Can't you add a speed limiter?"
The security guard, clearly well aware of the factory's predicament, shook his head and said, "There were some issues with the design of the electric scooters back then. The speed limiter can't be added now. The factory's designers are all scratching their heads, not knowing how to solve the problem."
"How much inventory does your factory have?" Xu Youyou asked.
"Twenty thousand."
Xu Youyou raised an eyebrow in surprise: "So many?"
This number is not just an ordinary inventory pressure. According to her quick glance outside, 20,000 in inventory should be close to the limit of this factory.
The security guard got angry when talking about this. He said, "The factory received a large order before and designed it completely according to the other party's design drawings. Who knew that this incident would happen just after the production was completed? Now the other party doesn't want the goods anymore."
Xu Youyou said: "At least they gave me a deposit, which can help me recover some of my losses."
Upon hearing this, the security guard slapped his thigh and said, "If there was a deposit, it would have been easier. The contract they signed clearly states that if the policy affects... then we must refund the money unconditionally..."
Xu Youyou: ...
She suddenly felt that the factory needed a good lawyer to review the contract.
The security guard said with a gloomy face, "Our factory director was tricked. He kept pushing us to hurry up, and the factory leaders didn't notice anything was wrong. By the time the new regulations came out, the order was already more than half completed."
"They sued to get the deposit back. We still have a lot of materials in our warehouse and can only produce this kind of electric vehicle. We haven't been paid for two months and the workers are about to rebel." said the security guard.
Xu Youyou could imagine how anxious the people in the factory were. After finding out more about the personalities of the factory leaders, she said:
"Take me to meet your factory leader."
The security guard glanced at Xu Youyou in surprise, then looked at the bodyguards behind her and the two cars that were obviously worth a lot of money: "Little girl, you want to invest in our factory?"
Xu Youyou shook her head and said, "If the price is right, I will buy this factory."
The security guard immediately asked, "Are you really going to buy the factory? Will you be the one paying our wages from now on? Will you pay us the wages we're owed?"
Xu Youyou nodded: "That's natural."
"Will you buy our inventory as well?" asked the old man.
Xu Youyou nodded again.
"It's estimated to be tens of millions in total..." the old man said cautiously.
Xu Youyou raised an eyebrow: "So cheap? Not even as expensive as my car."
The security guard was shocked by the extravagant lifestyle of the rich, but the richer Xu Youyou became, the more reassured he felt: "Okay, okay, I'll call the factory leader right now, and someone will come to see you shortly."
Before this batch of electric bikes had an accident, some people actually said they wanted to buy the factory, but after the accident, few people were willing to take over the batch of problematic bikes. Most people only wanted to buy the factory and did not want to be responsible for the inventory and workers.
Xu Youyou was the first person to say she wanted them all.
The effect of the security guard's phone call was immediate. Xu Youyou waited in the message room for less than five minutes before seeing a man rushing over on an electric scooter.
She asked the guard beside her: "Is this car produced in your factory?"
The security guard nodded and said, "Miss Xu, don't be fooled by the small size of this car. It runs very fast and makes little noise when running. Once it is on the market, it will definitely sell well."
Xu Youyou looked at the small and cute car, which seemed to be made of very solid materials. She couldn't help but feel sorry that it couldn't be put on the market.
The factory manager spoke loudly, glanced at the guard, and immediately asked, "Lao Liu, is the big boss really here?"
The security guard immediately introduced: "Miss Xu, this is our factory manager Chen."
Director Chen muttered to himself that Xu Youyou looked too young, but when he saw the four bodyguards wearing the same clothes and Xu Fang accompanying them, he still tried to smile. "Miss Xu, thank you for coming. We have something to discuss in detail. Lao Liu, please open the door quickly and let Miss Xu's car in!"
Of course, the transaction could not be discussed in the message room. The security guard pressed the button and the door slowly opened. Xu Youyou got in the car and followed them to a three-story office building.
"Ms. Xu, please come this way. Be careful of the steps." The factory director looked particularly humble as he nodded and bowed.
Xu Youyou went up to the third floor with his companion.
After many bosses become rich, they will spend a lot of effort to decorate their offices and make them extremely luxurious.
Director Chen's office appears to be very simple, with a set of desks and chairs, a set of sofas and coffee tables, and a curtain separating the two, revealing half of a single bed.
Director Chen personally made tea for Xu Youyou.
"Ms. Xu, I don't know where you are from yet?" Director Chen tried to get closer to her.
But just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man rushed in from outside the door.
"Director, I really have no other choice. My daughter is sick and needs money urgently... The factory hasn't paid me in two months... I need to see the money today!"
