Perhaps to make it easier for farmers to purchase agricultural tools, the Provincial Agricultural Materials Company’s sales department is located in the suburbs of Hongze. There are two large state-owned farms nearby, both of which are major customers of the agricultural materials company.
This morning, the sales department had just opened, and Xiao Dongping arrived in a hurry. He slapped the canvas bag in his hand on the counter, and said to the salesperson at the counter:
"Is Lin Anbao here? Tell him that Lao Xiao from Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory is here and ask him to come out to pick me up."
Lin Anbao is the manager of this sales department, and he had a very good relationship with Xiao Dongping in the past. In the past two years, Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory's products have changed three times a month, and the quality of the products after each transformation has not been stable enough.
, so the people in the agricultural supplies company gradually became indifferent to Xiao Dongping, fearing that he would take advantage of the friendship between the two parties and force them to accept the inferior products of Qingfeng Factory.
Hearing the above words and seeing that the person coming was Xiao Dongping from Qingfeng Factory, several salesmen at the counter frowned. A middle-aged female salesperson buried her head in calculation and asked, "Is it Xiao Dongping?"
Section Chief, do you have anything to do with our Manager Lin?"
"Of course there is something." Xiao Dongping said, he patted his canvas bag with his hand and said: "I sent him product samples. This time, if he dares to reject the products of our Qingfeng Factory,
I will go to his house for dinner."
The female salesperson stopped, looked up at Xiao Dongping's canvas bag placed on the counter, and said: "Chief Xiao, it's not that our agricultural supplies company has to embarrass your Qingfeng factory, it's really that the quality of your factory's products is too unstable.
Yes, if we accept your goods and sell them to customers, they will stab us in the back."
"Why is the quality unstable? Our factory has a history of more than 20 years. If the quality of the products is unstable, how did it get through these 20 years? Forget it, you can't make the decision in this matter, so call Lin Anbao out." Xiao
Dongping deliberately did not mention the induction cladding welding, wanting to leave the other party with some suspense.
The sales department is not big. Xiao Dongping made an argument on the counter. Lin Anbao, who was working in the back room, naturally heard everything. Hearing Xiao Dongping's words becoming more and more arrogant, several of his subordinates seemed to be unable to resist, so they pushed
The glasses came out of the house.
"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Section Chief Xiao. What gust of wind brought you here?" Lin Anbao asked Xiao Dongping with an innocent look.
Xiao Dongping looked at Lin Anbao and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Old Lin, I said you are not honest. We have been friends for many years. In the past, there was a shortage of supplies. You were crying and currying favor with me, Old Xiao, and asked us to give it to you.
Supply. Now there are township and village enterprises to support you. If you are too strong-willed, you will no longer recognize me as a poor relative, right? Our state-owned enterprises have a strict financial system. I cannot give you gifts like the salesmen of those township and village enterprises.
So you reject our products, right?"
"Old Xiao, what are you talking about! I...when have I received gifts from anyone? If you talk like this, I will sue you for something...by the way, it's called defamation." Lin Anbao did the same.
He retorted with half annoyance and half ridicule, but he was still not confident enough when he retorted, because like the salesmen in the sales department, he did occasionally accept some souvenirs from township enterprises.
"You said I slandered you, well, tell me, why don't you accept products from state-owned factories like ours, but only products from township and village enterprises?" Xiao Dongping asked forcefully.
Lin Anbao said: "Old Xiao, it's meaningless for you to say this. If your products are good, when did I say I won't accept them? But the quality of your products is much worse than others, and customers don't want them. What do we have?
The solution? For example, let’s say you returned your rotary tillage blades last time. Their blades can be used for 700 acres, but yours can be used for less than 500 acres. The price is the same, how do you want us to sell it?”
Xiao Dongping's previous pretentiousness was just to elicit Lin Anbao's words. After hearing what Lin Anbao said, he pretended to be annoyed and said: "Who said our blades can only be used for 500 acres? You must have heard it wrong.
.Last time you refused to accept our goods, I went back and told our technicians, and they said that the service life of our blades is definitely more than 500 acres. You must be deliberately making things difficult and want to see us embarrassed."
Lin Anbao's face became a little ugly. He decided that Xiao Dongping was here to cause trouble, and he said: "Old Xiao, it's meaningless if you do this. You said it's more than 500 acres, and 501 acres is more than 500 acres, but is this interesting? Everyone.
He’s not a kid anymore.”
Xiao Dongping said: "What 501 acres? Our technicians said that we can use as many acres as the other people's blades can use. Didn't you say they are 700 acres? If the blades of mine are less than 700 acres, they cost one penny.
I don’t want any of them, I’ll give them all to you.”
"Your blade can last 700 acres? Did you drink too much in the morning?" Lin Anbao was successfully fooled by Xiao Dongping, and said sarcastically with a sarcastic smile on his face.
From beginning to end, Xiao Dongping never said that Qingfeng Factory had improved the blades, which made Lin Anbao feel that Xiao Dongping was angry and making trouble unreasonably. Lin Anbao was very clear about the quality of Qingfeng Factory's rotary tillage blades, saying 500
The blades are barely used, and some blades are completely worn out after being used for more than 400 acres, making them unusable at all.
"Fuck, why did you drink too much? Smell, is there any smell of alcohol in my mouth? I said 700 acres means 700 acres. Do you dare to bet with me?" Xiao Dongping continued to provoke Lin Anbao.
Lin Anbao was not a good person, so he could not stand such a provocation. He immediately opened his eyes and said: "Of course I dare to bet. Tell me, how to bet?"
"I brought 40 blades here. You go to Yongfeng Farm to find Laohua and ask him to arrange a tractor to try it out to see how many acres of land these blades can cultivate." Xiao Dongping pointed outside and said to Lin Anbao.
.
Yongfeng Farm is a state-owned farm, located right next to the sales department. The old lady Xiao Dongping is talking about is Hua Guoying, the director of Yongfeng Farm. Due to business relationships, she has a good relationship with Xiao Dongping and Lin Anbao. The three of them
In the past, we were drinking buddies who got so drunk that they crawled under the table together. Xiao Dongping asked Lin Anbao to find Hua Guoying to test these blades because he believed in Hua Guoying's character and knew that this person would not cheat in his work.
"It's not easy." Lin Anbao was brought into the pit by Xiao Dongping. He immediately picked up the phone and was about to tell Hua Guoying about it. When he picked up the phone, he suddenly had a cautious thought, so he put it down again.
He called Xiao Dongping and said: "An experiment is an experiment. We have to set some bets. Otherwise, wouldn't I suffer a loss?"
Xiao Dongping suppressed his laughter and asked: "What bet, tell me, I will accept it."
"First, if your blade is used for less than 500 acres, you can't ask Laohua for money for the blade. They are inspecting the goods for you, and they can't be deceived into buying your crappy blades." Lin Anbao said.
"You fart, am I, Old Xiao, that kind of person?" Xiao Dongping said angrily, "If it's less than 700 acres, I won't take any penny. However, if it exceeds 700 acres, he has to pay. Now is the time
When plowing, he doesn't use my blade, but uses other blades."
"If it exceeds 700 acres, of course he has to pay." Lin Anbao said, "Secondly, if it is less than... less than 700 acres, you have to treat me to a drink."
Lin Anbao originally firmly believed that Qingfeng Factory's blades could use less than 500 acres, so he wanted to use 500 acres as the standard for the bet. But when Xiao Dongping insisted on 700 acres, he simply followed Xiao Dongping. In his opinion,
The standard of 700 acres cannot be met by Qingfeng Factory's products no matter what. Once this condition is set, Xiao Dongping will definitely admit defeat.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Dongping recognized Leng Yuming's identification of these blades and believed that these processed blades could definitely be used for more than 700 acres. What he had to do was to induce Lin Anbao to make a bet with him, and then use a loud
A slap in the face, letting out the bad breath that I had been holding back for the past few days.
"Okay, manly man, let's set a standard of 700 acres. If our blades are less than 700 acres, I'll treat you to a drink. If it exceeds 700 acres, how about you treat me to a drink?"
Xiao Dongping asked.
Lin Anbao slapped the table and said, "It's settled, I'll call Laohua right now and ask him to be a witness."
Hua Guoying's office was not far from the sales department of the agricultural supplies company. After receiving a call from Lin Anbao, he called a jeep and rushed over in a few minutes. After hearing about the bet between Lin Anbao and Xiao Dongping, he smiled slightly and said: "
Okay, no matter who of you wins or loses, I am determined to drink this wine anyway. As it happens, our farm is plowing the land these days, so I will find a rotary tiller and replace it with the blades of Lao Xiao and others to try it out."
"Wait..." Lin Anbao suddenly thought of another question, and he said: "I have a suggestion. Don't use all of Lao Xiao's blades on your rotary cultivators, but half and half. Use half of their blades.
, the other half uses blades from the Red Star Factory, wouldn’t the comparison be clearer?”
The Hongxing Factory he was talking about is a large agricultural machinery factory in other provinces, and the quality of the rotary till blades it produces is among the best in China. Lin Anbao's arrangement like this can be regarded as adding another layer of insurance to himself, because the service life of the rotary till blades is closely related to the condition of the land.
The type has a lot to do with it. If Hua Guoying specially selected some fields with relatively soft soil for testing in order to release water to Xiao Dongping, then it would be possible to extend the service life of the blade to more than 700 acres.
But if two types of blades are installed on the same rotary tiller, even if the service life of Qingfeng Factory's blades exceeds 700 acres, he can compare the wear of the two blades to prove that Qingfeng Factory's blades are indeed not as good as
The Red Star Factory also has a way to fight back against Xiao Dongping.
"You, Old Lin, are so dark-hearted!" Xiao Dongping was also a smart man, and he couldn't see through Lin Anbao's frivolous nature. He took a sip, expressing his contempt for Lin Anbao, and then said: "According to Old Lin's arrangement,
Laohua, I’ll leave these blades to you, and you should hurry up and do the experiments. I’m telling you, we’re sure to drink Lao Lin’s drink.”
