Yu Guorong did not keep Gao Fan waiting. After breakfast the next day, he made an appointment with Gao Fan for an interview alone, under the pretext that he wanted to ask Manager Gao for instructions on work.
"Director Yu, our products can be exported smoothly this time, thanks to you."
After sitting down in the small reception room of the labor service company, Gao Fan first expressed his gratitude to Yu Guorong.
Canghua Company's first batch of exported cleaning agents totaled 100,000 bottles, and the delivery cycle was very short. According to what Chen Xingquan told Gao Fan, Yu Guorong stopped all other business in the factory and worked overtime day and night.
Only then did 100,000 plastic bottles be delivered on time, and some delayed penalties were paid to other customers.
Yu Guorong did not mention this liquidated damages to Gao Fan, but only collected a payment of 40,000 yuan at the price of 40 cents each agreed upon by both parties.
Of course Gao Fan also knew that the so-called liquidated damages paid by Yu Guorong were actually not much. They might have compensated the client for two cigarettes or a light meal, but Yu Guorong's approach undoubtedly made people feel very comfortable.
It is obvious that he wants to cooperate with Canghua Company for a long time.
"What's the matter? Manager Gao takes care of my business. I should say thank you to Manager Gao." Yu Guorong said in a low-key voice.
Gao Fan said: "Our cleaning agent is selling very well in the Japanese market. In the next step, they will continue to place orders, and it is estimated that it can reach 1 million bottles a year. Is there any problem with Manager Yu?"
Yu Guorong patted his chest and promised: "Your managers Xue and Xie have already told me that I have no problem. After the New Year, I will build a production workshop here in Cangtang specifically for
You supply the goods. I will send the most capable workers here."
Plastic bottles take up a lot of space. It is very laborious to transport them from Renqiao area in Shuinan Province to Cangtang. In this era, road transportation control is relatively loose, and the trucks that Yu Guorong and others use to deliver plastic bottles are piled high.
It's so tall that it can't hold many bottles in one cart.
In the next step, the number of plastic bottles needed by Canghua increased by 10 times. Naturally, Yu Guorong could no longer produce them in Renqiao and then transport them here. It was necessary to build a production workshop here in Cangtang. Regarding the production site, Gao Yiping
Just saying hello to the county will help solve the problem.
In fact, Gao Fan had previously arranged for Xie Qin and Xue Chujiang from Canghua Company to talk to Yu Guorong about this matter. At this time, the two parties just wanted to confirm again, which could be regarded as a reason for chatting.
After talking about this matter, Gao Fan looked at Yu Guorong and said with a smile: "Old Yu, why do I feel that you came to Cangtang this time not just to talk about plastic bottles? For such a small matter, Mr. Yu sent
It's enough for one of my subordinates to come and talk, why do we need Mr. Lao Yu to come in person?"
"Brother Gao is laughing at me, what kind of boss am I?" Yu Guorong said modestly. He knew that when Gao Fan spoke like this, he was implying that the relationship between the two parties was close enough and that he could talk about anything directly. He calmed down for a moment, and then said
: "Brother Gao, I heard Mr. Pan say that you discussed with him about developing a small polyester production device?"
Gao Fan was surprised: "How did you know Lao Pan, and why did he tell you this?"
"I know Mr. Pan, not all through my relationship with Mr. Gao." Yu Guorong said, "You helped me contact Mr. Pan to process molds for us. Later, your order volume increased, and I asked Mr. Pan to process the molds for us.
Three additional sets of molds were added, and I got to know Mr. Pan as we went back and forth.”
The Chief Engineer Pan they are talking about is Pan Yue, the chief engineer of Shuinan Chemical Equipment Factory. Gao Fan asked Yu Guorong to make some special designs for the cleaning agent packaging bottles. The machining companies in the Renqiao area could not process the corresponding molds, so Gao Fan
Fan then found Pan Yue and asked the hydration equipment to help open the mold.
Yu Guorong said that he went to see Pan Yue because he wanted to add more molds, but he was actually setting up an ambush for Gao Fan. The real situation is that after Yu Guorong received the molds sent to him by Pan Yue, he thanked Pan Yue for his help.
, specially went to Bitian, the provincial capital, to treat Pan Yue to dinner.
Pan Yue is a science and engineering geek with a certain degree of social anxiety, and Yu Guorong and Gao Fan have the same bad taste, which is that they are extremely good at bullying patients with social anxiety. Pan Yue could not stand up to Yu Guorong's repeated requests and reluctantly agreed to go out to have dinner with Pan Yue.
As a result, after the meal, he was trapped by Yu Guorong, and he pinched his nose and accepted Yu Guorong's friendship.
It needs to be said here that Lao Pan is a good comrade. For the generous gift from Yu Guorong, he only accepted some worthless local specialties and returned the rest to Yu Guorong for violating the regulations. At the same time, he felt that he owed Yu Guorong in his heart.
A pretty big favor.
Yu Guorong asked Pan Yue to make additional molds. After this incident, Yu Guorong also used this as an excuse to invite Pan Yue to dinner several times.
When Yu Guorong thought about it, he was in the plastic products business and had to deal with people in the chemical industry. It was very important to be able to establish a relationship with the water chemical industry.
It was while having dinner with Pan Yue that Yu Guorong heard about Gao Fan asking Pan Yue to design a small polyester device. This matter was not a trade secret. Yu Guorong once boasted in front of Pan Yue that he was familiar with Gao Fan.
, it was a friendship that started when we were peeing and making mud together since childhood. Pan Yue couldn't find any other topic to talk to Yu Guorong, so he brought up this matter.
Pan Yue ignored an important detail. Considering that Yu Guorong was more than 20 years older than Gao Fan, having to pee and mud with Gao Fan was enough to be called a "late bloomer".
Gao Fan didn't bother to pursue the details of Yu Guorong's relationship with Pan Yue. He knew that the farmers and entrepreneurs in Shuinan were extremely social and could build a relationship at the slightest opportunity. He said that for now, he just relaxed a little.
, Yu Guorong always called him "Brother Gao". This trick was used on Pan Yue. It would be strange for Lao Pan not to surrender.
"The matter of the small polyester plant was handed over by Minister Zheng from the Ministry of Chemical Industry. I can only act as a sounding board for Minister Zheng," Gao Fan explained.
"I heard Mr. Pan say that the technology they want to develop, a polyester device with an annual output of 5,000 tons, has a total investment of only 12 million?" Yu Guorong asked.
"I'm not sure about this," Gao Fan said perfunctorily.
In fact, Pan Yue had told him that he believed that an investment of 8 million would be enough for a device with an annual output of 5,000 tons based on the idea of miniaturization. The quote of 12 million was actually designed by Gao Fan for Pan Yue.
It seems that Pan Yue was not completely fooled by Yu Guorong's social offensive, at least he still had some reservations when making the quotation.
