"Hey, isn't this Director Lei? Are you here to pay back the management fee?"
Lei Sanma immediately blew his beard and stared.
Seeing that the quarrel was about to start again, Cao Weidong quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Hello, Manager Wang, I am Cao Weidong, the director of the biogas plant in Wan'an County next door. Nice to meet you."
Lei Sama had already introduced him to him on the way here.
Cao Weidong knew the other party's name and general situation.
Manager Wang looked Cao Weidong up and down.
I think this person is the director of the factory at a young age, so he can’t be fake, right?
Cao Weidong handed over his ID and letter of introduction
"This is my letter of introduction, please read it."
Manager Wang accepted the letter of introduction doubtfully.
When I saw the signature was the county magistrate of Wan'an County.
The hand shook slightly.
No one dares to fool people with fake documents these days.
What's more, it also has the signature of the county magistrate.
Manager Wang hesitated again and again, but still said.
"Hello, Director Cao, I wonder what you want to see me for?"
Cao Weidong smiled.
"I don't know if you have time, could you sit down and have a chat? To be honest, I have a big project that I want to contact you about."
"Big project?"
Manager Wang pondered for a moment and said.
"Okay, let's go to the office and talk."
Several people walked into the office one after another.
The furnishings here are relatively simple.
It's just a desk and two long sofas.
Manager Wang motioned for Cao Weidong and others to sit down.
Then asked:
"I wonder what you want to talk about?"
Cao Weidong did not answer the question.
"I wonder if Manager Wang knows anything about biogas?"
Manager Wang had a look of lack of interest on his face.
"I don't know, and I don't know much about it."
Cao Weidong introduced.
"Biogas is a magical energy source."
"It can replace electricity to make light bulbs generate electricity, and it can also replace firewood and coal to make fires for cooking and heating..."
"In the past two years, the country has established a biogas research class to vigorously promote biogas..."
"In response to the national call, our biogas plant came into being and produces a variety of practical biogas products suitable for different life scenarios. We want to sell them here."
Manager Wang had already guessed something when Cao Weidong was talking.
When he heard Cao Weidong's request, he refused without even thinking.
"Sorry, I'm afraid our place is not suitable for selling your products."
"Why is this?"
"Um...because of the space, our department store is too small."
In fact, Manager Wang simply does not want to support the products from the next county.
In his heart, he is still more willing to support local brands.
Biogas?
What if our county also opens a biogas plant?
You have sold the products, what do we sell from our own factory!
This is the truest thought in Manager Wang’s heart.
However, Cao Weidong still wants to fight for it.
"Our products do not take up too much space. We only need to place a picture album. Customers can order products according to the product introduction in the picture album..."
"And our products are very popular in Wan'an County, I think..."
Manager Wang was even more unhappy when he heard this and interrupted Cao Weidong directly.
"Sorry, Director Cao, let's stop talking here today. I have other arrangements later."
"By the way, Director Lei, since you are here, please pay the outstanding store management fee. The time we agreed is coming soon. If you don't renew the contract, I will give your store to someone else." Lei Sanma's eyes widened.
I just want to argue with Manager Wang.
But he was held back by Cao Weidong.
Cao Weidong thanked him and pulled Lei Sama out of the office.
After leaving the shopping mall, Lei Sanma said angrily.
"Director Cao, that manager Wang just now was obviously perfunctory with us. You shouldn't have pulled me just now, otherwise I would have had a fight with him."
Fang Yangqian sneered.
"If you wanted to hit me early, why did you have to wait for us? And you don't look at your figure. One person can hit you twice."
"What's wrong with my figure?"
Lei Sanma patted her big belly.
"Don't think I'm fat, but I'm a flexible fat man."
"Okay, don't talk about this now. It's just dinner time. I'm treating you. Let's have something good."
Upon hearing this, Lei Sanma and Fang Yangqian stopped arguing and looked at Cao Weidong eagerly.
Cao Weidong looked around.
Pointing to a state-owned hotel nearby.
"Just go wherever you want."
.......
Entered the state-owned hotel.
Cao Weidong looked at the menu written on the blackboard and ordered a braised pork, a local roast goose, and three vegetarian dishes.
The waiter smiled at Cao Weidong.
Said enthusiastically.
"Comrade, would you like to order another fried pork with green pepper? It's half price today, very suitable."
She mainly saw this young man's handsome appearance.
It makes me happy just looking at it.
Cao Weidong also smiled, and his smile was particularly bright.
"Okay, let's add another green pepper to stir-fry the meat, please."
"Okay...Okay."
The waiter was immediately fascinated and confused.
Feeling dizzy, I went into the kitchen to order the dishes.
Cao Weidong touched his face.
After being nourished by the Chinese medicine in the portable space, he seemed to be more attractive.
Chen Xueru snorted.
"What's so delicious about fried pork with green peppers? Do you think so?"
The other people at the table lowered their heads.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes.
At first glance, it is obvious that Cao Weidong and Chen Xueru have an unusual relationship.
So no one wanted to talk to me.
Cao Weidong came back with the list.
I was stunned for a moment when I saw the expression on Chen Xueru's face.
"What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
"Fried pork with green pepper."
Chen Xueru snorted.
Cao Weidong reacted immediately.
He smiled and sat down next to Chen Xueru.
"Actually, Xu Aiguo loves this dish, so I specially ordered it for him. Aiguo, don't you think?"
Facing Cao Weidong's gaze.
Xu Aiguo said without conscience.
"Yes, I have loved eating fried meat with green peppers since I was a child. You don't know, when I was a kid, we didn't have any at home, so we ate green peppers as fruit..."
Seeing Xu Aiguo’s words getting more and more outrageous.
Cao Weidong quickly changed the topic.
"Director Lei, I have figured out that your factory's store in Mu County Department Store has been losing money for many years, and it was Manager Wang who caused the trouble."
Lei Sanma sat upright suddenly and asked.
"Did you find the evidence?"
Cao Weidong shook his head.
"No evidence is needed, and there is no evidence, because you have no way to hold the other party accountable."
Through conversation, he could conclude that Manager Wang obviously has a tendency to safeguard local interests.
This is the awareness of regional protection.
We are also a furniture factory, so why not promote the products of local furniture factories instead of promoting brands from other counties?
I'm afraid it is based on this idea.
Manager Wang went back and forth to stir up trouble.
As a result, Lei Sanma's shop suffered losses year after year.
Lei Sama sighed
"You are right, so what should we do? Should we continue to sell goods here?"
"Of course we have to continue."
Cao Weidong smiled.
"This kind of problem is not limited to Mu County. Looking across the country, this problem exists in many places. And the more counties and towns, the more serious this problem is."
"We always go out."
"So we should try to overcome him and come up with a plan to deal with this problem."
Lei Sanma sighed leisurely
"You still have ideas and courage. Whatever you want to do, I will listen to you."
Cao Weidong thought for a while and said: "I really have an idea, but I need some help."
"Need someone?"
Lei Sanma smiled.
"If you say anything else, I may not be able to help. If you say you need people, I have plenty here."
Cao Weidong smiled.
"That's good."
Lei Sanma asked quickly.
"What do you want to do?"
Cao Weidong failed.
"Don't worry, let's eat first. We'll talk about it in the evening."
Just then the waiter brought the food over.
Put it on the table.
And introduce the dishes.
The service is very attentive.
The diners next to me looked hot.
"Hey, where is our food? Why don't you bring it over?"
The waiter rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "At the food pick-up port, take it yourself."
The diners are anxious.
"Hey, what's your attitude?"
The waiter snorted coldly.
"This is my attitude. If you like to eat, just leave. No one will stop you."
The diners were stunned speechless.
Fang Yangqian admired Cao Weidong so much that his eyes were filled with stars.
Quietly gave Cao Weidong a thumbs up.
This is amazing.
Chen Xueru snorted.
First he glared at Fang Yangqian, and then glared at Cao Weidong.
Cao Weidong is a little aggrieved.
I just communicate normally. Does it have anything to do with the waiter being a nymphomaniac?
In order to cover up his embarrassment, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
Then his expression became weird.
It's really unpalatable.
It’s like there’s no seasoning.
But looking at the expressions of others enjoying their meals, he did not speak, but silently picked up the vegetarian dishes and ate them.
This meal was more uncomfortable for Cao Weidong than torture
But for others, it is indeed a delicious meal.
Everyone was still talking after they walked out of the restaurant.
Xu Aiguo even packed up the uneaten fried pork with green peppers and planned to eat it with steamed buns at night.
Several people walked along the street to the county party committee compound.
There is a guest house nearby. You can stay there for one night and go back to talk to the cadres of the county party committee.
The car will be parked in the county party committee compound for another two days.
At this moment, there was a faint commotion in the crowd ahead.
Someone shouted.
"Help, someone has fainted here!"
Hearing the cry for help, passers-by ran over one after another.
They are not watching the fun, but trying to help.
Cao Weidong sighed.
The simple enthusiasm of this era is unparalleled in previous generations.
Of course.
People are still the same people.
It was only because of the influence of some bad public events that everyone became indifferent.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the allusion of Zigong receiving an ox.
Although the scenes are not the same, there are some similarities.
I can't help but sigh that the saints had such profound thoughts thousands of years ago.
I believe that if there is a complete rescue mechanism, the problem of social indifference in the previous life will be gradually corrected.
Thinking in his mind, he led the crowd around.
A young man in the crowd said.
"The old man fainted. He must have suffered a sudden illness. Doctor, is there a doctor here?"
