Chapter 174: We're in the same boat

As the saying goes: Like father, like son. A rat's son can dig a hole! Lai Hu's old man must be really worried about having such a son.

Han Songlin suddenly became curious about Lai Hu's family situation: 'You're not the only one in your family, are you?'

'Of course not. I have two older brothers and a younger sister!'

Han Songlin and Lai Hu clinked glasses. This number of siblings was, in modern times, quite normal.

'Oh, what do your brothers do?'

'They used to work as factory workers, but now that the factory is not operating, they are doing odd jobs.'

Han Songlin was silent. Everyone had to make a living; not having an income was the most worrying and frightening thing.

In the afternoon, Han Songlin brought two bottles of wine, Jinliufu. When he came to Yanghe before, Han Songlin loaded some wine onto the car to bring with him.

Naturally, there are also Fule Wine Industry distribution outlets on this side of Yanghe. Han Songlin has been there and seen for himself that sales are quite good.

'Hello, uncle, my name is Han Songlin. I hope you don't mind me dropping by unannounced!'

Han Songlin said, placing the wine on the table. Jinliufu is a gift wine, so naturally some thought has been put into it.

First of all, the packaging is bright red.

In addition, the two bottles of wine come together in a gift bag, which is convenient for carrying to someone's house as a gift.

In addition to Jinliufu having this gift box, Fule Puree also has it, and it is even more high-end.

Lai Youshan was a little taken aback. This was sudden. Why would someone bring wine to the door?

Moreover, the wine looked high-end at a glance.

Was it someone again, looking for him to work in their factory?

Lai Youshan instinctively wanted to refuse. He had worked for the state-owned enterprise his whole life, so how could he go work for a private boss?

He glared fiercely at Lai Hu. This wicked son, doing something unsavory every day.

He really wanted to break his legs.

But since the visitor is a guest, Lai Youshan cannot turn him away, and he has to put on an appearance of enthusiasm: 'Come in and have a seat!'

'Wife, pour some water!'

Feeling the heat from the porcelain cup, Han Songlin did not speak immediately. The entire living room was a little quiet, except for the sound coming from the TV.

Lai Hu glanced at Han Songlin and Lai Youshan, not knowing what to say.

Han Songlin didn't expect Lai Hu to say anything either. Someone like Lai Youshan, who could be the best in an industry, wouldn't be influenced casually unless they agreed with it themselves.

'Uncle, the main reason I came this time was to ask you about Xinxing Industrial. Do you think there's still hope for Xinxing Industrial?'

Han Songlin spoke with a smile on his face, but what he said was like a sharp knife to Lai Youshan, right up against his heart.

Is there any hope for Xinxing Industries?

Anyone can see that the situation is hopeless!

The county authorities are doing everything they can to get rid of the burden.

Everyone with connections at the factory is looking for a way to transfer elsewhere.

Everyone at the factory is thinking about leaving.

When a ship is sinking and everyone is up to their necks in water, how hard does one have to try not to think about getting ashore?

Lai Youshan's breathing quickened a little, and he stared at Han Songlin without saying anything.

Hasn't he thought about all this?

How can he say that he hasn't?

But what's the point of thinking about it?

Lai Youshan did have a lot of prestige in the factory, and many of the workers were apprentices that he had taught personally.

But the affairs of the factory were not something that he could decide just because he had a lot of prestige.

On the surface, the factory leaders respected you, but as soon as you turn around, they will ignore what you say.

You can still smell the stench of a fart; now you can't even smell the stench.

'A few years ago, I was in the army in the south. Amidst the hail of bullets, the only thing I thought about was killing the enemy and surviving myself and my comrades.'

Lai Hu looked at Han Songlin in shock, unable to help but swallow. At this moment, Han Songlin made him feel a little different.

It was the smell of iron and blood!

It made one's heart palpitate.

After hearing this, Lai Youshan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he looked at Han Songlin with some surprise.

He really had not expected that the young man in front of him had actually been to war.

'Over the past few years, I have made some money, but I have always been thinking about one thing: Does the money I make have anything to do with improving the strength of the country?'

'Chen Yinghua, the new county head of Dangyang County, came to me and asked me to take over Xingxing Industrial. I immediately agreed. Because I realised that the most fundamental thing for a country to become stronger is industry. Only if our country has a strong industry will we not be afraid to face the challenges of any other country.'

'That is why I want to acquire Xingxing Industrial and develop it into a pillar enterprise in the field of industrial manufacturing for our country.'

People care about a sense of identity.

This sense of identity will affect the way people behave.

Han Songlin was meeting Lai Youshan for the first time today, but it didn't matter, as long as he knew that Lai Youshan had the most sincere love for this country.

These old workers love this country beyond measure, and they have spent their best years building it.

How can they not love it!

"Master Lai, I hope you can help me!'

Han Songlin's words were not very persuasive, but persuasion does not only lie in the words, but also in the sincerity of the emotions.

Lai Youshan looked at Han Songlin in shock, a little speechless.

He didn't know what to say at this time.

'I, I can't even read or write, how can I help you, you've got the wrong person!'

Han Songlin laughed lightly, 'Master Lai, I have always firmly believed in one thing, if you want to make a good product, then you must have a heart that is constantly in pursuit.'

'Your skills are the guarantee of a good product. The product I want can only be realised by you.'

'I...'

Han Songlin stopped Lai Youshan's words: 'Master Lai, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Please listen to my plan for the acquisition of New Star Industries. First, the future New Star Industries will be a technology-oriented company. The salaries of technicians and R&D personnel will always be higher than those in the office, and I can guarantee that.'

Everyone knows that the wages of technicians and R&D personnel must be high in order to ensure the vitality of a company.

But why can't many companies do it?

Perhaps it's because the people sitting in the office hold the power of the company.

It's hard to make people betray their class.

Han Songlin looked up at the slightly faded walls of the house and the slightly cramped space of the home: 'Master Lai, your sons still live with you, right? I can assure you that in one year's time, in just one year, you will definitely be able to afford a new house, and in the future, each of your sons will have a home of their own.'

House prices are not expensive now, but that is only in comparison to Han Songlin.

For ordinary people, it is not that easy to buy a house.
