Chapter 366 This Child Is Really Unyielding
The two and a half days of exam were over in the blink of an eye.
After the exam, Jiang Tian packed her travel bag and went to Nanyang with her second uncle without stopping.
Nanyang is a famous cotton producing area in Henan. I heard that there are more than 100 towns and villages planting cotton in the city. The total cotton output accounted for one-third of the province's share at its peak.
The cotton here is not only high in yield but also of superior quality.
Most importantly, this is also one of Henan Province’s textile industrial bases, and a mature cotton planting, purchasing and processing industry chain has been formed very early on.
Because of the large output and much cheaper prices than in their own province, almost half of the long-distance buses heading to Nanyang this season are going there to purchase cotton or cotton textiles.
Sitting in a carriage filled with the smell of sweat and second-hand smoke, Jiang Tian closed her eyes and silently felt the passion and drive of this era.
In this era, it seems that few people like to lie down or give up. Even those peddlers with only a few thousand dollars in their pockets dare to take long-distance buses to other places to buy cotton cloth and sell it back.
Many of the people on the same train with Jiang Tian were businessmen who opened shops in towns and villages.
Nowadays, many rural people are still accustomed to tearing cloth and making clothes, shoes, bed sheets, quilt covers, etc.
These small business owners have to go to the place of origin to purchase the goods themselves. It is hard work, but the goods they get back from one trip are enough for them to sell for two to three years, and they can also save a lot of money.
Jiang Tian heard an uncle sitting in the back row say that in addition to buying cloth, he also wanted to visit Henan Textile Industry School.
His daughter is an excellent student and really wants to apply to a textile school. The father cannot persuade his daughter and has to go and test the waters first.
This complaint, which was slightly boastful, made the others around him extremely envious.
Henan Textile School, they are in the cotton business, who doesn't know this university? This guy is too lucky, right? If his daughter can be admitted to the textile school, 80% of her will go directly to the textile factory in the province to be a leader after graduation, right?
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Immediately, someone enthusiastically handed a cigarette to the parent of the top student and lit it, and showered him with compliments as if they were free.
Hu Jianjun was laughing at what he heard, and teased his niece:
"See? This is what they call 'All things are inferior, only reading is superior'!"
"If you can get into a technical college and become a cadre or something, I think your mother will be very happy."
Jiang Tian blinked and asked her second uncle innocently, "But, when my sanitary napkin factory is established, won't those top students who graduated from technical colleges still have to work for me?"
Uncle Hu: “…”
This child is really stubborn!
After failing to persuade Han Jisong to study, Uncle Hu changed the subject and asked his niece with a serious expression whether Han Jisong would continue to study if he was admitted to high school.
"It's not easy for us elders to ask this. Don't spoil him. If you don't put forward conditions when you are dating, when will you put forward conditions?"
"If you ask me, if you really want this kid, you shouldn't let him go to high school and take the college entrance exam."
"Don't blame me for being harsh. There are so many excellent and beautiful girls in high school and college. If Han can't control himself, you will be the one who suffers in the end."
Although Hu Jianjun had plenty of ways to teach Han Jisong a lesson, what was the point? His niece had already been hurt.
The thing Hu Jianjun regretted most in his life was that he did not stop his sister, causing Hu Qiongfang to suffer in the Jiang family for so many years and almost die in the Jiang family.
He failed to protect his sister back then, and now he must not let his niece be bullied by those nasty men outside under his nose.
However, Tiantian is different from ordinary girls.
If his niece was really an ordinary junior high school student, Hu Jianjun would have relied on his status as her uncle to personally negotiate terms with Han Jisong.
Unfortunately, his niece was too opinionated, and Hu Jianjun couldn't guarantee what was going on in Jiang Tian's little head. He could only ask her what she thought first.
"If you are too embarrassed to ask, how about I ask someone to steal Han Jisong's admission letter and burn it?"
My second uncle is worthy of being my second uncle, his chuunibyou syndrome is really looming.
Jiang Tian politely rejected her second uncle's dangerous idea with a frown on her face.
However, there was one thing she was sure of.
"No need to ask him, guess why he didn't come with us this time?"
"I guess he will leave for Jiangsu today. I heard that he is going to visit several shipyards and buy two ships. He plans to open a water freight line next year."
Uncle Hu narrowed his eyes instantly: "Water freight? Humph! This kid has a quick mind."
My second uncle's tone was sour, but I had to admit it.
I heard that Han Jisong's biological father came from an old chaebol family in the United States. It seems that he inherited his father's business acumen.
In recent years, those who live along the provincial roads and have a little bit of ability have all thought about making money from freight and passenger transport.
If you are timid and have little capital, you can buy a car and go to the bus station to pick up people, and you can make a lot of money every month.
If you are bold and have some money in your pocket, you can buy trucks, tanker trucks, and long-distance buses. In this era, as long as you dare to think and act and seize opportunities, you can make money.
However, in Shuangfeng Town, Han Jisong is the only one who can develop freight business on a large scale.
However, few local people are jealous of Han Jisong's success, because he should be the one to earn the money!
If Han Jisong had not set up a seafood market back then and pulled all the hooligans in Shuangfeng Town ashore and taught them to make a living with their own hands, during the "crackdown" a few years ago, at least a hundred people in Shuangfeng Town would have had to eat steamed buns made of only two grams of flour for a few years.
Maybe it is true that good people are rewarded. Back then, Han Jisong brought these brothers ashore. Later, when he started the freight business, the entire Shuangfeng Town, all the big brothers and small brothers who used to be in the underworld, followed him wholeheartedly.
Although this group of people have retired from criminal activities, they still have some deterrent power in the local area.
Others who run freight operations have to worry about having their tires punctured, blackmailed, and their diesel and cargo stolen on the road. But when Han Jisong's men are escorting the trucks, the thieves nearby will run as far away as possible and dare not commit any crime against them.
After all, when these big brothers were roaming around on Provincial Highway 336, these little thieves didn't even have the qualifications to pay homage to them.
However, the incident that happened last time caused Han Jisong, who had been going smoothly all the way, to suffer a small setback, and the entire company was thoroughly investigated by the higher-ups.
I didn't expect that this guy suffered such a big loss and ended up having a fight with water transportation.
Hu Jianjun lowered his head and thought about it, then couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.
It would be a good idea to let Han Jisong open this line. This way, when their products need to be transported over long distances, they can also use water routes to go south and north, and the transportation cost can be reduced by at least 30% each year.
The most important thing is that he has to send someone to keep a close eye on Han, to prevent him from keeping a mistress on the ship and cuckolding his niece.
