Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire
Chapter 263: Money, Money, Money
Jiang Cheng has arrived.
Factory Director Hai got up in the fastest speed of his life, his mouth naturally opened, drew a breath of cold air, and it seemed like the blister was tearing.
No time to care for that now.
Factory Director Hai quickly rushed over in big strides.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, welcome, welcome."
Jiang Cheng "sensibly" stepped back and pointed at Jack: "Factory Director Hai, this is Mr. Jack."
"Mr. Jack is the heir of a major family in country M, and he’s here in Hua Xia to look for some unusual elements."
"Just a moment ago, Mr. Jack purchased a batch of special porcelain, which is incredibly exquisite and unique."
Jiang Cheng immediately sang Jack’s praises, and Factory Director Hai, who had cooperated with him once, immediately showed an expression of admiration.
He bowed with respect, offering his hands with a sense of admiration...and a mind for making money.
"Mr. Jack, it’s truly an honor to meet you."
Jiang Cheng, lagging behind Jack by a step, smiled lightly: Factory Director Hai is definitely a veteran among veterans.
Jack was flanked by Jiang Cheng on the left and Factory Director Hai on the right. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
One spoke in English and the other in Hua Xia, showering Jack with praise as if he were unrivaled on earth or in heaven.
Jiang Cheng genuinely took Jack to check out the Bohemian fabric, even holding a dress up against herself for comparison.
"Mr. Jack, California has the longest coastline. This kind of holiday beach style long dress should be popular, right?"
Jack maintained his deep expression and nodded to Jiang Cheng.
He neither said he would buy it nor that he wouldn’t.
Jack wasn’t in a hurry, but Factory Director Hai was.
Factory Director Hai, while anxious, dared not show it; who knew what scheme Jiang Cheng had today.
So he could only be anxious silently, to the point he felt another blister would appear on the other side of his mouth.
Jiang Cheng continued to make introductions, Jack remained deep, and Factory Director Hai focused on "growing blisters."
The three were in different states of mind, yet outwardly appeared to have an animated conversation, when James arrived.
James, the well-dressed old gentleman from country Y.
He had his eye on the Bohemian fabric on the first day but wanted to secure a lower price and so didn’t place an order that day.
In the ensuing days, James kept looking at fabrics.
But there wasn’t a single one that caught his eye.
Even though he had already decided in his heart to purchase the Bohemian fabric, he didn’t want to be the one to initiate.
James was waiting, waiting for someone from the textile factory to come to him.
Unfortunately, he waited day after day, but no one came, and he even heard that someone else was interested in the Bohemian fabric.
This finally made James anxious.
When Jiang Cheng saw James come by, she quietly celebrated with a little gesture of "yeah" in her heart!
From the first day until now, Jiang Cheng never gave up on this big fish, James.
The day he left, Jiang Cheng discreetly had someone keep an eye on James.
When she learned that James sent his assistant to linger around the Hai City Textile Factory booth on the second day, she knew this deal was as good as sealed.
What followed was a test of patience.
She just so happened to run into Jack, a professional disruptor.
So she brought Jack along.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, James couldn’t hold back.
"It’s very lively here."
James interrupted their heated conversation, and Jack, who had been praised for two days, was instantly displeased.
How dare someone act so boldly in his presence??
Jack’s dissatisfaction was noted by Jiang Cheng, and she introduced him: "Mr. Jack, this is Mr. James from country Y."
"Mr. James, this is Mr. Jack, heir to the Green Family from country M."
James looked at Jack and curiously asked: "The Green Family? Is Jack I your—?"
Jack hated when people brought up his father. He was determined to make a name for himself as a super wealthy second generation.
"Jack I is my father."
James appeared slightly surprised but still politely said: "I see, I happen to know your father. He’s a successful businessman. But I hadn’t heard that the Green Family was getting into the fabric business?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng inwardly gave a big thumbs up.
James was indeed treading a fine line here.
He touched on Jack’s most sensitive point.
Based on Jack’s personality...
"My father is my father, I am me, so please get your facts straight, Mr. James."
"Besides, for what reason does our Green Family need to notify you about what business we engage in?"
In a blink, indecisive Jack decided to buy the fabric.
Not for any other reason, but because others looked down on him.
"Jiang... how do I purchase this fabric?"
Jack was absolutely a doer, extremely capricious.
"Mr. Jack, this fabric is purchased at a price of 1.6 yuan."
Upon hearing this, Jack didn’t care in the slightest and said: "Alright! Get the contract ready for me."
"Okay, how many meters does Mr. Jack want?"
"How much do you have?"
Jack’s bold question displeased James.
He may be young, but he sure has a big mouth.
This fabric was something he found first; was Jack being a little too arrogant?
"Hold on a moment!"
James interrupted, imposing pressure on Jack and Factory Director Hai.
"Jack, I spotted this fabric first."
"Am I correct, Director?"
Factory Director Hai looked at James bemusedly, then at Jiang Cheng, eager for knowledge: "I don’t understand!!!"
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to translate, Jack and James locked horns.
"Mr. James, you noticed it first? Did you pay a deposit? Or sign a contract?"
The question left James with an ugly expression: "Neither."
Jack scoffed dismissively.
"Are you joking with me? With nothing to show, why should I listen to you?"
"I know your father—"
James attempted to leverage Jack’s most bothersome card, provoking Jack’s rebellious spirit.
"Mr. James, were it not for your age, I wouldn’t even waste my breath here with you."
"Besides, business is business; don’t try to use my father against me!"
Jack and James squared off.
Factory Director Hai didn’t dare to move, barely daring to breathe.
He didn’t even dare to exchange glances with Jiang Cheng, fearing what might happen if caught.
"Mr. Jack, Mr. James, business is best conducted amicably, let’s not spoil the atmosphere."
Jiang "The Peacemaker" Cheng stepped in.
Under Jiang Cheng’s calming influence, the two gradually settled down.
However, Jack and James were at odds, both insistent on buying the same batch of fabric.
James didn’t want to give up either, since the quality of this batch of fabric from Hua Xia was the best he had seen.
At this moment, James deeply regretted not securing it on the first day!
But there’s no turning back time.
With Jack’s interference, James placed an order as swiftly as possible, still at the price of 1.6 yuan, ordering two hundred thousand meters of fabric.
And Jack, not wanting to fall behind, also ordered two hundred thousand meters of fabric.
Factory Director Hai, surviving in the gaps, had his eyes light up: Money, money, money!
