Chapter 215: Returning Home at Night... Knocked Silly
The contract had been signed, and there was no need for Xiang Chen to personally handle the follow-up. It could be left to the deputy factory manager and others to deal with.
So after dinner, Xiang Chen escorted the two foreigners to their hotel and left after leaving the contact information for the garment factory.
Afterward, he didn't go straight home but went to inspect the electrical appliance store under Xu Hengzhou's name. Originally called an appliance store, it was somewhat misleading since the only electrical appliance it barely had was a radio; the other counters sold small items like watches and trinkets.
However, now it was somewhat inappropriate to call it an appliance store because, after several years of expansion, it was comparable to a small-scale electrical appliance mall in later years.
Unlike the clothing stores that Xu Hengzhou opened branches in various districts, he focused on strengthening and expanding the original store. Continuously expanding its scale, increasing variety, updating products, and providing high-quality services.
Now this store was the largest electrical appliance store in the capital, with the most advanced scale, variety, and quality. Moreover, it offered delivery and after-sales services, so even residents from the other side of the city were willing to come here to buy appliances.
Just this store alone provided Xu Hengzhou with extremely lucrative profits every day. After all, appliances were large items, and with every sale, the profit was enviable. Much of that money had been used by Xu Hengzhou to buy land.
In the past two years, he had traveled to the South several times, catching the wave of national reform. Once, Xu Hengzhou stayed for almost half a year, taking away almost all the liquid capital from the family. Even most of the money in Xiang Chen's hands was taken away.
When he came back, apart from the heart-pounding numbers on the bankbook, Xu Hengzhou poured out a pile of cash on the floor of the room at night.
We won't dwell on Xiang Chen's shock and joy at that moment, but since then, he has never asked Xu Hengzhou about business matters again, feeling that he couldn't handle it. He had a small-town mentality when it came to money; it made him dizzy.
This time, Xu Hengzhou had some unknown intentions. He said he wanted to make a trip to the northwest. Xiang Chen was initially puzzled, thinking he might be going to the farm or something. But Xu Hengzhou said he wanted to go abroad...
Although Xiang Chen's academic performance was average, he still had some impression of major historical events. At this moment, the neighboring countries were not exactly peaceful. Moreover, if something happened during this time and he wasn't traveling through diplomatic channels, Xiang Chen wouldn't even be able to contact him.
To be honest, Xiang Chen didn't want Xu Hengzhou to go. But seeing the eager anticipation in Xu Hengzhou's eyes, he swallowed the words of dissuasion.
Xiang Chen went to see Old Li, trying to persuade him to provide a real weapon instead of letting Xu Hengzhou scare people with a toy gun. Equipped with a set of real weapons, Xu Hengzhou stored them in his space. Besides Xiang Chen, he didn't tell anyone else about his destination. Everyone thought he went to the South again.
He would be gone for more than two months. Xiang Chen was on edge all the time. They agreed that Xu Hengzhou must return within three months. As the agreed date approached and Xu Hengzhou hadn't returned, Xiang Chen tried to maintain a calm appearance, but inside, he felt like he was being scalded with hot oil.
