Time passed by half a month later, and Lin Fang became more and more familiar with all aspects of the factory's personnel, finances, and materials. At the same time, various materials and raw materials required for the new equipment were quickly purchased under the coordination of the local departments.

However, the equipment problem on Ran Tongsheng's side has still not been solved.

Lin Fang frowned tightly as he held the progress report in his hand.

According to his progress plan, so far, all the equipment that should be in place has still not been completed.

The equipment that has arrived is now only half of what was originally planned.

As for the installation progress, it is even more appalling. Not even half of the equipment that arrived has been installed in place. Five or six workers seconded from the local power department have been sitting around all day bragging that this is the easiest job they have ever done.

live.

Lin Fang sighed, took the report and turned around to walk to Ran Tongsheng's office.

"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Ran Tongsheng's secretary looked up and saw Lin Fang, with a smile on his face.

"Where's Mr. Ran?" Lin Fang asked expressionlessly.

"Mr. Ran...oh, did he go to contact the equipment?"

The secretary said quickly, with a sarcastic look on his face.

Lin Fang looked at him: "Where can I contact him?"

"This... I don't know, Mr. Ran didn't say anything!"

The smile on the secretary's face became even brighter, but the corners of his eyes twitched. He knew the equipment thing best and it was really hard to explain.

As for Ran Tongsheng, wherever he went to contact the equipment, he simply went out too much.

Lin Fang has been with Ran Tongsheng for so long, especially since he has been in the factory during this time, and he knows him better.

As the equipment problems dragged on for longer and longer, Ran Tongsheng also began to avoid himself.

Lin Fang was expressionless and put the progress report directly on the table: "Half of the one-month equipment installation time has passed, but the equipment arrival rate is only 50%. If the equipment cannot be guaranteed to arrive tomorrow, the debugging and installation will definitely be delayed.

It will inevitably delay subsequent progress.

Also, according to the existing equipment installation progress, it is estimated that it will take at least half a year to install all the equipment in place.

You call Mr. Ran and tell him that if the efficiency still cannot be improved, then you will definitely not be able to participate in the packaging bidding of Fuxinhang Toothpaste Factory!"

After Lin Fang finished speaking, he left without any regrets.

"but I……"

The secretary wanted to say something else, but Lin Fang didn't listen at all and didn't stop.

The secretary had a wry smile on his face.

He used to think that it would be absolutely comfortable to go ashore and open a factory with Mr. Ran, and it would be a great feeling to have one person under a thousand people.

However, the reality is so shocking that it doesn’t make me happy anymore. Instead, I feel like I am a grandson every day.

Give smiley faces to workers, smiley faces to translators, smiley faces to purchasers, smiley faces are given almost everywhere.

As for Lin Fang, the factory director, he had no temper at all.

After being depressed for a long time, he picked up the landline on the table and dialed Ran Tongsheng's big brother.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Ran Tongsheng's displeased voice came from the phone, and he could clearly hear the sound of dance music coming from the side, as well as the delicate voice of a woman.

The secretary felt depressed: "Mr. Ran, just now Mr. Lin said that the equipment progress is too slow..."

The secretary had only spoken half a sentence when Ran Tongsheng immediately knew what he was going to say next and interrupted directly: "Okay, okay, I understand. I'm trying to figure it out right now.

Tell Mr. Lin that another batch of equipment will arrive in five days, so he can rest assured that the equipment will definitely arrive on time!

Okay, that’s it, I have something else to do, so I’ll hang up!”

After saying this, he hung up the phone without waiting for the secretary to continue speaking.

Listening to the blind tone on the phone, the secretary was speechless.

He laughed at himself: "In five days, it looks like we will be able to get some equipment in a week.

It looks like the equipment really won’t arrive on time!”

He lit a cigarette for himself and smoked it depressedly. The more he thought about it, the more he got a headache.

Finally, he sighed, stood up and went out, heading directly to Lin Fang's office.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Oh, is there any news from Mr. Ran?"

Lin Fang raised his eyes and glanced at him, his face still expressionless.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Ran just called back, and I reported to him about the progress of the equipment.

Mr. Ran said that the equipment may...probably be difficult to keep up with the planned schedule.

However, he said that Mr. Lin, you are very capable, well-connected, and smart. He will try his best to think of solutions outside, and he also hopes that you can think of more solutions here in the factory.

After all, this factory is a joint venture between the two of you. Once it is damaged, everyone will lose.

So, I hope you can help me and find a way!"

After the secretary finished speaking, he looked at Lin Fang anxiously.

He could only get rid of Lin Fang in this matter.

Although Ran Tongsheng hasn't said that yet, he knows that it will only be a few days.

Time waits for no one. If he waits for a few more days, I'm afraid Lin Fang's patience will be completely worn out, and he may not care about it even if he has a way.

Therefore, he could only make a decision for Ran Tongsheng in advance this time.

Because he knows two things:

First, this factory cannot collapse. Once it collapses, he will follow Ran Tongsheng back to the sea to live a precarious life.

Second, since Lin Fang dares to take over as director of the factory, it means that he is confident in running the factory well.

Therefore, he firmly believes that Lin Fang must have a way to solve the current problem.

Lin Fang didn't say anything. He stared at the secretary for about ten seconds and asked lightly: "Did Ran Tongsheng really say these words?"

Call him by his first name!

The secretary suddenly panicked.

It would be a good thing if Ran Tongsheng was told about this matter after it was resolved. Not only would he have no fault, but he would have made meritorious deeds.

But if Ran Tongsheng now knew that he had made this decision for him and still belittled Lin Fang, it would be no different from Ran Tongsheng himself being belittled to Lin Fang.

The most important thing for people who live in the world is face.

He has been following Ran Tongsheng for several years. He seems to be peaceful, but in fact he is extremely good-looking.

He knew how Ran Tongsheng viewed Lin Fang in his heart. This was just a tool.

But now I have to bow to Lin Fang before I have no choice. That would be a huge loss of face.

I'm afraid that when Ran Tongsheng turns around, he will find an opportunity and throw him into the sea to feed the fish.

The secretary suddenly sweated on his forehead.

"Mr. Lin, this must be what Mr. Ran said!"

Lin Fang suddenly laughed: "Secretary Chen, based on my understanding of Mr. Ran, as long as this month does not come to the last day, he will not say this to me, even if I let others repeat it for me.

Do you want me to call Mr. Ran now to confirm?"

"no, do not want!"

Secretary Chen's expression suddenly changed and he spoke hastily.

But the next second, his expression changed again.

Looking at the faint smile on Lin Fang's face, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

"It's over, I was deceived!"

He hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, I know you can see that these words were actually said by me on behalf of Mr. Ran.

However, this is not because I have ulterior motives. The main reason is that I know that the equipment may not be available as planned.

Mr. Ran said that a batch of equipment will arrive in a few days, but according to my judgment, it is estimated that the arrival will not be too much.

The progress is already slow now, if you don't care anymore, then... I'm afraid the progress will be completely behind."

He said sincerely: "Mr. Lin, I know you are educated and capable, but running a business is not something that Mr. Ran is good at.

This is all up to you.

Mr. Lin, I don’t want to go back to the sea anymore. Please help me resolve this matter. From now on, if you have anything useful for me, just give me your orders, and I will do it for you even if I risk my life!”

Lin Fang chuckled and was not in a hurry to speak. He played with a delicate lighter in his hand and kept opening and closing it.
