CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 391: TOO LITTLE INVESTED

"Xiao Yue, you can’t just look at the location." Tang Mingli always felt that this place was too remote.

Zhu Yuanchao was there to protect Tang Mingli; looking at this place, he also felt it was remote, but he didn’t say a word.

Qin Anyu said, "Xiao Yue, I also think this place is a bit remote."

In fact, if it were up to her, that piece of land next to them was very good.

"Same price, but the land would be twice as big, Uncle, more land means we wouldn’t have to build with so many constraints like in the county." Tang Yue was trying her best to persuade.

Although she was not sure what this place would become in the future, this part of the South District would definitely be a prime location, with housing prices skyrocketing many times over.

So, buying this land at the current price was quite a bargain.

Even the local manager sent people to receive them.

In their eyes, those who bought land now were simply fools with too much money!

This place was far from Jing City, not even close to the suburbs.

Several pieces of land here, too remote to sell, now finally someone showed interest in buying, they racked their brains, hoping they would take this land.

Tang Mingli didn’t speak, but seeing Tang Yue’s earnest persuasion, he knew she really wanted this land.

Not to mention, the local managers even promised preferential policies for the future; Tang Yue’s bright eyes made it seem like she had gotten a great deal. With the local management’s support, it also meant a green light all the way.

Although their factory was a legitimate business, anyone would prefer to operate smoothly, to get the factory up and running without being troubled at every turn.

"Xiao Yue." Tang Mingli pulled Tang Yue aside and asked, "Do you really think this plot of land is good and don’t want to look at any other places?"

Deciding to buy the land so quickly on their first visit was beyond Tang Mingli’s expectations.

"I think it’s pretty good." Tang Yue said, "Or shall we go and look at other places?"

Qin Anyu’s friend had gathered detailed information; almost all the land for sale in Jing City, he had inquired about thoroughly.

Tang Mingli thought for a moment, then decided to look around more, in case he found something better.

For the next three days, Qin Anyu accompanied them to look at land, and the land she had bought for the clothing factory had already begun designing blueprints.

After a few days, other than the remote land they saw on the first day, none of the other places met their needs.

Eventually, Tang Mingli and Tang Yue decided to buy that piece of land, but they hesitated over the price. The 400,000 yuan he brought was only enough to buy the land, and that was for a remote area. For the place Qin Anyu mentioned, even double that amount wouldn’t suffice.

The 400,000 yuan were all handed over, and the paperwork was completed in just a few days.

Tang Mingli sighed, the land was bought, but what about the money for building the house?

A loan?

Using Mingyue Clothing Factory as collateral to borrow a few hundred thousand shouldn’t be a problem, Tang Mingli thought to himself.

Tang Yue said, "Uncle, the next two years will definitely be tough, but once our branch factory is up and running, it will definitely be better."

Tang Yue put together the 70,000 yuan she earned from stocks and her private savings to make up 100,000 yuan, handed it over, and said, "Uncle, although 100,000 yuan can’t build a house, it can relieve some immediate difficulties."

"Xiao Yue." Tang Mingli, looking at her money, immediately said, "Xiao Yue, keep your own money, you’re getting married this year..."

"Uncle, I’m not in a hurry to get married, besides, the factory isn’t just yours. It’s only right for me to contribute." Tang Yue spoke earnestly as she pushed the money towards Tang Mingli.

Tang Mingli took the money, and the next day he returned to Wangjiang County to sort out the loan; he had already made arrangements before the new year, and now he just had to submit the materials.

That night, Tang Yue decided to take on more custom clothing orders to earn some extra money.

Qin Anyu heard this and immediately said, "Xiao Yue, you’re already very busy. If you need money, maybe I could lend you some?"

"No." Tang Yue refused, "Setting up a new factory also requires money. Sister An Yu, don’t worry, we’re not at the end of our rope yet. If we really need money, we’ll come to Sister An Yu."

"Okay." Qin Anyu didn’t insist, but when she knew Tang Yue would take on extra custom clothing orders, she helped bring in more customers.

Night fell.

Tang Yue suddenly remembered something and asked, "Bai Qing."

"What’s up?" Bai Qing was resting with her eyes closed, but at the sound of Tang Yue’s voice, she didn’t open her eyes.

Tang Yue asked, "You made tens of thousands from stock market as well, didn’t you?"

"Mhm." Bai Qing hastily sat up.

Before Tang Yue understood what Bai Qing meant, Bai Qing handed over a passbook and said, "If you need money, Xiao Yue, take these 150,000 yuan to use first."

"Pfft!"

Tang Yue, holding the passbook, instantly felt a full sense of trust, and she asked, "Bai Qing, aren’t you afraid I’ll squander it all?"

"If it’s gone, then it’s gone. We made so much from the stock market, it wouldn’t hurt too much if it disappeared," Bai Qing said indifferently. "By the way, Xiao Yue, after Zheng Yue ends, once the securities company reopens, I’m going to go there every day."

Bai Qing was exceptionally interested in stock trading.

"What about your classes?" Tang Yue asked.

"Didn’t you stop going to classes? If you don’t go, I won’t either. Besides, it won’t take much time, it won’t be an inconvenience," Bai Qing planned out, knowing that Tang Yue was free on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, had class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and was free in the afternoons; she could spend an hour in the afternoon going there.

"Bai Qing, in that case, consider these 100,000 yuan as your investment in Star Bright. However, you can only share the profits and not get involved in management." This was what Tang Yue had already decided; previously in Star Bright, she had a 30% shareholding with her designs. Now for the new factory, 100,000 yuan might not even represent 10%, but as long as Star Bright developed well, that 100,000 yuan would become a hen that lays golden eggs in the future, far more valuable than just leaving it in the bank.

"Sure, take all these 150,000 yuan." Bai Qing didn’t much care.

Tang Yue, a bit annoyed, said, "Bai Qing, it’s true we are friends, but even brothers keep clear accounts. Besides, even if you wanted to invest 150,000 yuan, it wouldn’t work."

Initially, Tang Yue was worried Bai Qing wouldn’t be able to produce 100,000 yuan, so she just mentioned that amount, thinking she could supplement it if Bai Qing fell short.

Bai Qing: "..."

The next day, Tang Yue gave 50,000 yuan back to Bai Qing and also drew up a contract, which explicitly stated the terms.

Bai Qing signed it without even looking.

Tang Yue resigned herself, kept a copy of the contract for each of them, and then took the money to Qin Anyu.

Seeing the 100,000 yuan, Qin Anyu initially didn’t want to accept it, but Tang Yue was very insistent on this point.
