Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 1355 Seize the Chance To Start a Business While Young 

Paul’s new product was a smoothie blender, which was quite rare in the market and not commonly found in households.

“The machine cover is made of stainless steel. Once the product goes into production, there will be orders worth tens of millions. By then, only two or three factories certainly won’t be able to meet the demand,” Paul explained. “If you pre-process some samples and get them to the manufacturer for evaluation, once they meet the standards, I’ll direct more orders your way. Additionally, there will be high-volume production of components like rice cooker inner pots in the future.”

Abel took the machine cover and said, “Please provide me with the blueprints and data, Mr. Murphy. I don’t think this will be a problem.”

“Another critical point. Your cost calculations should pass muster while maintaining the same quality. If you exceed the manufacturer’s expectations in terms of cost, no matter how good the quality is, they won’ accept it.”

Abel nodded and said. “I understand this well.”

“To be honest,” Paul continued, “State-owned factories are not as advantageous in this regard as private enterprises. State-owned enterprises have high labor costs and low production efficiency. You’ll need to overcome this weakness.”

At that, the conversation with Tony regarding contracting factories came to Abel’s mind.

“When do you need this order?” he asked Paul.

“Within half a year, most of the product’s experimental indicators should be passed. Once this product is completed successfully, the next one will be accessories for slow cookers, which also have a huge demand!

“Okay, I’ll take this sample back with me, and you can send me the blueprints and data later. Next time I visit, I’ll bring our samples for you to review.”

“Sounds good! I’ll be waiting for you!”

Abel added, “Perhaps I’ll change the brand.”

“Which brand are you thinking of changing to?”

“If everything goes well, I might use my own brand.”

“I have faith in you!” Paul patted Abel on the shoulder. “Seize the opportunity to start a business while you’re young!”

Before leaving Sandwell, Paul saw them off, and he said to Emmeline, “Many young ladies your age come to Sandwell to do clothing business. It’s a trend, and if you’re interested, you can give it a try.”

Emmeline was puzzled, “How can I do that?”

“I have many clothing and luggage manufacturers on my side with large inventories. All you need to do is take the goods back and lease a storefront in your area to sell them. The manufacturers will provide some initial credit, and you can adjust and settle the inventory sequentially. It’s very easy to get started.”

Emmeline turned her gaze toward Abel.

“We’ll discuss it when we get back,” Abel said. “It’s not something we can’t consider.”

On the way back, Luca drove the truck for the first 180 miles.

After lunch, they switched drivers, and Abel took the wheel. Emmeline sat next to Abel, gazing at his sharply defined cheekbones and tightly pursed lips. Admiration filled her heart.

Seeing that Luca had fallen asleep, Emmeline leaned over to Abel and kissed his cheek. “You look so handsome like this, Abel!” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Don’t do that!” Abel warned in a hushed tone. “The safety and lives of three people are in my hands!”

Emmeline shrugged and sat up properly.

“Are you suffering from motion sickness?” Abel asked, taking a gander at her.

“I’m okay,” Emmeline replied.

“You’re doing much better than when you were a kid,” Abel remarked. “I remember the first time I brought you back from our hometown: you were completely out of it, and you threw up all over me.

Emmeline’s memory instantly flashed back to that summer when she was fourteen. At the end of the school vacation, Abel had brought her back to the city. During the long journey, she had either been vomiting from motion sickness or sleeping while feeling nauseous. The entire trip had been spent curled up in Abel’s arms.

It was during that time that she had formed a habit. Whenever she snuggled into Abel’s embrace, she would fall asleep almost instantly. Abel’s embrace was her safest haven.

Emmeline thought, I wish you could hold me like this forever. But the reality was that they were relatives, and such a thing was impossible. She couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.

“What’s troubling you? We’ll be home another half day,” Abel said.

“I’d rather not go home and just keep going like this,” Emmeline said quietly to herself.

As drowsiness gradually overcame her, she yawned and fell asleep. She wasn’t sure when her phone rang.

Emmeline woke up, wondering who would be calling her on this new number.

It was Abel.

She was about to ask, “Why are you calling? Don’t you have anything better to do?” when she realized Abel wasn’t in the vehicle at all.

She looked around and found the truck parked by the roadside while Abel and Luca were sitting on the roadside embankment, facing a vast expanse of green fields, smoking.

“What are you doing, Abel?” Emmeline shouted. “Why are you calling when you’re right here?”
