Lin Chuan had just returned to the office when Yu Meiling pushed open the door and entered.
"Mr. Lin, there is a salesperson from the Imperial Machinery Factory who wants to sell us a machine. Would you like to take a look?"
Sales machine?
Lin Chuan's first reaction was that this was a bit unreasonable.
In this era, there was no door-to-door salesmanship.
Does this person know that he will definitely buy his machine?
"Let him go to the drawing room!"
Lin Chuan still planned to meet this person.
In the reception room, a middle-aged man in his fifties, well-dressed and with dark skin introduced himself first.
"Hello, Boss Lin, my name is He Chaorong, I am a salesperson at the Imperial Machinery Factory. Here is my work permit and letter of introduction!"
Very well prepared.
Lin Chuan took the work permit and the letter of introduction and looked at it briefly. There was really nothing wrong with it.
He Chaorong followed and said slowly: "It's like this. The polyester fabric manufacturing machine produced by our factory is very suitable for companies like yours. Here is the information about the machine. Boss Lin, please take a look!"
As expected, the preparations were very comprehensive.
It seems that the salesperson was fully prepared before coming.
He looks very much like a sales professional.
And polyester fabric is indeed what he needs now.
He Chaorong took a sip of tea and continued: "Our factory has been engaged in production and research for ten years, and its mechanical productivity can reach an annual output of 500,000 tons.
And we can also provide technical support. I also saw your factory on TV commercials, so I came to contact you to see if you can use this kind of machine.
If you can purchase our machines, we can provide chemical fiber raw materials, and you only need to extract polyester!"
Lin Chuan thought about it while reading the information.
The usage rate of polyester fabrics in this era is not very high. Although pure polyester fabrics are light, not easy to wrinkle, and easy to wash, they are particularly uncomfortable to wear on the body.
Nowadays, the emergence of cotton, wool and other fabrics has gradually replaced the use of polyester.
However, polyester fabrics and later nylon fabrics, combined with cotton blended fabrics, are better and are generally used for curtains, tablecloths, or other applications.
Blended fabrics also have potential for use in clothing.
Lin Chuan is considering using polyester fabrics to make blended fabrics.
Therefore, Lin Chuan asked: "How much does a unit cost?"
He Chaorong immediately said: "A unit costs 2,000 yuan!"
Lin Chuan did not speak anymore, but looked at the information in his hand again.
However, the information did not mention the core technology of the machine. Although Lin Chuan knew this kind of machine very well, he was not sure whether the machine He Chaorong mentioned met the current standards.
Therefore, Lin Chuan said calmly: "Do you have a sample machine? Let's take a look first. If it meets the production standards, I will order a few more sets!"
He Chaorong was obviously very happy and immediately agreed: "This is no problem. Now I can ask the factory to send a sample machine first. It will arrive in a few days!"
Lin Chuan put down the information, stood up and said, "Okay, let's talk about it when the sample machine arrives!"
After seeing off He Chaorong, Lin Chuan immediately came to Xi Xiaolei's office.
"You arrange a personal business trip to the Didu Pengqi Machinery Manufacturing Factory to see if they produce polyester manufacturing machines. Just ask around and see if there is a salesperson named He Chaorong!"
But Xi Xiaolei said simply: "Why bother? I have classmates in the imperial capital, just make a phone call!"
"Then you fight now, and tell me if you have any news!"
Xi Xiaolei was very fast. Within an hour, her classmates called.
Immediately, Xi Xiaolei gave a report to Lin Chuan.
"Mr. Lin, Pengfei Machinery Factory does produce polyester manufacturing machines, and the scale is also very large. There is also a salesperson named He Chaorong, who is in his fifties and has dark skin!"
Lin Chuan just nodded slightly.
Even so, he still felt unsafe.
The reason is very simple. Their production scale is so large, and even though the polyester production machines are not in short supply, they don’t have to worry about selling them.
Why go all the way to his factory to sell this machine to him?
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan still kept a cautious eye on it.
Let’s wait until we see the samples.
At this moment, Uncle Maimaiti from Banshi called.
"My friend, what I want to tell you is that the supply of cotton that was promised before will be reduced by half. There is no first-grade cotton. I can only give you second-grade cotton.
This cannot meet the supply of 20 tons per week, and now it can only provide you with 3 tons of supply!"
Lin Chuan frowned fiercely. Once the supply of cotton decreases, it will be fatal for garment and textile factories.
"Uncle Maimaiti, why did it suddenly decrease? What is the reason for this?"
Maimaiti sighed helplessly and said angrily: "This is an order given to me by the management department. I don't know why they did this.
In addition to not allowing me to supply cotton to you, they also asked me to supply all the cotton to Xie Hongchen from your Hui market. Now I have no choice.
We all know that this is wrong. Adili has already gone to fight with the people in the management department, but the people in the management department will never agree. Although the farm is mine,
But the management department also has shares, so what I’m saying doesn’t count!”
Upon hearing that it was Xie Hongchen, Lin Chuan immediately understood that this was to cut off his life supply.
This guy's methods are really cruel.
But now there is no use in hating or being angry. Solving the problem is the most important thing.
"Uncle Maimaiti, I will be in Fanshi at noon tomorrow. Let's meet up and talk!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuan immediately greeted Qin Mengying, then took a taxi and headed to the airport.
After a bumpy journey, Lin Chuan finally saw everyone at Maimaiti's home at 11 noon.
Maimaiti sincerely entertained Lin Chuan and killed two sheep first.
Everyone gathered around the roasted lamb and started talking.
Adili said guiltily: "Now in many aspects, we elders no longer have the final say. The management department has mobilized many workers from other areas, including the management of the farm and so on!"
Maimaiti followed up and said: "Chuanzi, I also asked someone. It was the person named Xie Hongchen. He reached an agreement with the people in the management department to purchase the cotton from my farm at a price of 5 yuan per catty.
He also built a school and a hospital for us here. The management department is very willing to cooperate with him, and I can't influence their ideas. After all, what Xie Hongchen invests in is what is needed most here!"
Lin Chuan picked up a sharp knife, cut off a piece of mutton, and ate it in big bites.
The room was quiet, the only sounds that could be heard were the crackling of the charcoal fire and the sound of Lin Chuan eating meat.
It wasn't until a moment later that Lin Chuan asked, "Do you know any other farmers?"
