Chapter 217: Transmigrated into the Republic of China's Tragic Fiancé (5)
That's their business, leave it to them.
Ning Ning left another two thousand dollars for his mother, and he had other plans for the rest. His original self had a dream, but unfortunately he was killed before he could realize it. Now he wanted to help his original self realize it.
Ning's mother declined, "I have enough money on hand, and the crops have just been harvested from the fields. It's useless for me to take money in the countryside. I know you are an educated person, and the money will be useful. I don't understand what's going on outside, so I can't help you. You don't have to leave money for me, just take it yourself."
But Ning Ning didn't listen, stayed for two days, and secretly left the money behind before leaving.
When he returned to school, he found out that Ren Shufang's adoptive parents had come to the school and had a big fight with her, and the two sides had broken off all ties.
Ren Shufang's adoptive parents believed Ning Ning's words more, because they also watched Ning Ning grow up and knew his character. Besides, which man would take the initiative to put such a hat on himself!
If this is true, Ren Shufang is really wrong!
The Ning family treated her so well. No family in the whole village was willing to send their daughter to study in the city, not to mention that she was just a daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family.
It’s hard to find such a kind family even with a lantern.
But she was different. When she saw the colorful world in the city, she changed her mind and broke off the engagement. Isn't she a female Chen Shimei?
If this gets out, they won't be able to hold their heads up in the village, and even their own son's marriage will be affected!
So they were filled with righteous indignation. When they met, they first slapped Ren Shufang in the face and then questioned her.
But Ren Shufang did not feel guilty at all. She had heard from Xiao Tianxiang that Ning Ning not only extorted another 10,000 yuan, but also beat people. She immediately felt that Ning Ning had gone too far, so she decided to break up with her!
Besides, Xiao Tianxiang has already promised that he will find another opportunity to bring her to Master Ren and make sure they recognize each other as father and daughter. She will then become the eldest daughter of the Ren family. Who would care about these country bumpkins!
So, she had a big quarrel with her adoptive parents, saying that the world had changed, and the engagement thing was decadent and backward and was not recognized in the first place. They had given Ning Ning so much money, and she no longer owed Ning Ning anything.
"Don't pretend to be my parents. My parents are obviously someone else! Everyone knows that you adopted me for ulterior motives. If you hadn't adopted me, would you have had a son? If I had really listened to you, I would have become an ordinary village girl. Okay, stop talking nonsense. You just come here to ask for money, okay, I'll give it to you, and we'll be even after you take the money!"
As she spoke, she took out a handful of colorful bills and threw them in their faces, making the adoptive parents so angry that they trembled. They announced in public that they were breaking off all ties with them, saying that they had raised an ungrateful person for the past ten years, and then went back in anger.
The classmates were talking excitedly, Ning Ning just smiled and ignored them.
They were about to graduate. He had done well in his studies, and the college entrance examination was very simple at that time. For example, last year's entrance examination for the University of Tokyo only required one to write an essay. In fact, many students were often accepted by the school and exempted from entrance examinations because they had published articles in newspapers. Therefore, going to university was not a problem for him. He planned to run a factory while studying.
He took a fancy to a small textile factory, found the owner and offered to buy it.
The factory owner looked at him in disbelief. "Do you really want to buy it? I'm kindly telling you that running a factory is not an easy thing. There are many tricks involved. Today's workers are ungrateful and act like big shots. They're hard to manage!"
"Why are they so difficult to manage?"
"They go on strike every other day. You know how well I treat them? I pay fifty cents for a beginner and four dollars for a skilled worker. Tell me, if the factory didn't support them, how could they have such a good life? But they are so good. I just ask them to work a few more hours a day, and they start to make a fuss about a pay raise. If I don't agree, they go on strike and even want to set up a union. It's really outrageous!"
The factory owner seemed to be very angry and spoke indignantly!
Ning Ning advised him that since the workers were difficult to manage, he should be the one to take charge, as he really wanted to buy the factory.
The factory owner did want to take action, but he said that just now because Ning Ning was too young and he was afraid that he would regret it later and come to the factory owner to make trouble.
Since Ning Ning had repeatedly asked him to stop her, there was no need for him to stop her. The two of them happily agreed on a price, and after they exchanged the money for the factory, they completed the formalities.
Ning Ning had also run a company in her previous world and had a lot of experience in managing factories.
He tries his best to meet the reasonable demands of workers, and when they are really too busy to work overtime, he will pay overtime pay.
But some workers are not really here to work, they just want to find trouble and take the opportunity to make some money.
If Ning Ning met such a person, she would not tolerate him and would simply fire him.
These people were indignant and left cursing, and before leaving, they asked Ning Ning to be careful.
Soon, they gathered nearby hooligans to cause trouble. Ning Ning was delighted when she saw them. They were familiar faces!
"Why are you here again? Our Haicheng is so big, you guys are not the only ones, right?"
The calves of the people on the other side are cramping, and we are still wanting to ask, Haicheng is so big, how come we have to meet you, such a bad guy!
Last time it was Xiao Tianxiang who came to them, this time it was a few workers who came to them, but it turned out that the opponents were all Ning Ning. How come the scope of your troubles is so wide!
Next, Ning Ning didn't waste any time talking to them and started beating them unilaterally, making them scream and want to recognize Ning Ning as their big brother!
Now all the troublemakers around knew that this young student factory owner was not someone to be bullied, and they gave up the idea of making trouble.
Ning Ning was not a man who used force blindly. He was not a pedantic person. He just did what he needed to do. There was no other way. The world was like that at the time, and he could not be an enemy of the entire world.
Later, when the factory became profitable, he bought cloth dyeing machines and decided to produce not only white cotton cloth and white cotton yarn, but also colored fabrics.
But he soon encountered a problem. The factory that had originally agreed to sell him dyes decided to raise the price, and foreign dyes were more expensive. If he bought from them, the cost would be too high.
Ning Ning scratched his head and decided to make the dye himself.
He had already entered university and already had some knowledge of later chemistry. In addition, there were many professors on campus who had studied abroad, some of whom were very proficient in chemistry, so he could just ask them if he didn't understand something.
They knew what Ning Ning was doing and were very supportive of him.
After all, who wouldn’t want to see their country’s industry prosper and become increasingly wealthy and powerful?
Although Ning Ning's factory is not large in scale, it is still a spark after all. The country needs ambitious young people like him!
Before long, Ning Ning made aniline purple from a pile of bottles and jars.
Ning Ning purchased a batch of silk and dyed them.
Foreigners were very fond of Chinese silk, so when purple silk was put on the market, it was immediately snapped up and the price increased several times.
Ning Ning made a lot of money and soon selected a location to invest and build his own dye factory.
In this way, his factory business became better and better, and its scale became larger and larger.
