Hong Yanwu finally held the hand of the director of "Aihua Garments".
The factory director’s name is Zeng Guixiang.
Although this person is not very old, he looks to be in his mid-thirties.
But there are thick calluses on my hands worn by farm tools.
His dark cheeks and wrinkles caused by wind and frost also show that he was once a farmer who worked with the land all year round.
And Hong Yanwu could tell at a glance that Director Zeng was now going through a period of evolutionary transformation from simplicity to vanity.
If not for anything else, just because the clothes he was wearing were simply a collection of contradictions.
His shirt fits him very well, and he wears a pair of high-heeled shoes, both imported.
But the lower body is a pair of synthetic fiber pants that are absolutely hairless, and there are two obvious bulges on the knees.
And the color of the tie he was wearing was really exaggerated.
The large color pairing of yellow with purple patterns makes people look dizzy at first glance.
But it was fastened meticulously, and even had a gold tie clip on it.
In short, this is a very special temporary state in the period when our clothing manufacturing industry has just started.
As a producer in the clothing industry, Factory Manager Zeng even has poor taste in his own clothing.
But having said that, after all, this also shows that some of the consciousness of Director Zeng has begun to gradually awaken.
Because people like Director Wang, who is in charge of the office, are still stuck in the past, and there is no such "rustic fashion" yet.
There is no doubt that Director Zeng is already trying his best to integrate with the "international standards" compared to him, and at the same time, he is also trying his best to permanently break with the past.
Otherwise, why would he be so complacent in front of Hong Yanwu and others, repeatedly emphasizing that the quality, efficiency and management of "Aihua" products have been fully recognized by foreign businessmen?
Even before discussing the matter, he repeatedly asked Hong Yanwu whether he had the ability to provide foreign exchange settlement.
It was obvious that he was always enjoying the sense of superiority that his current identity change brought him.
I am also using the power in my hands to experience the pleasure of being desired by others.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of his contact with Hong Yanwu and the others was actually to show off, not to reach any actual deal.
Hong Yanwu even speculated that perhaps the factory director was willing to see them despite his busy schedule just to reject their request openly.
Why do you say that?
This is not because Hong Yanwu's heart is too dark.
Because in fact, when he answered that he could pay the bill with foreign exchange certificates, Director Zeng was stunned for a moment, and there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.
And when Hong Yanwu said that he needed a large amount of spot goods.
Director Zeng suddenly became excited again and even refused in a happy tone.
"Mr. Hong, this is impossible. Because now all the work in my factory is given to a company in Frankfurt, Germany. The Germans give very tight construction deadlines, and they often come to check the progress. I was their representative just now.
I just left after seeing it. To be honest, our orders have been scheduled for a quarter later. Within this month, they are even more tightly arranged. I have no choice. If you can't wait, you should go
Let’s look at other factories.”
The most important thing is that after Director Zeng said these words, he seemed to have experienced great enjoyment and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then he leaned on the chair and looked at Hong Yanwu and the others with a smile, as if he was waiting to appreciate the disappointment on their faces before saying goodbye and leaving.
To be honest, if it were anyone else.
At this moment, Director Zeng has probably fulfilled his wish and left in anger.
If you have a bad temper, you may even go out of your way to correct Factory Director Zeng for mispronunciating "Frankfurt" before leaving, to embarrass him.
In fact, both "Achang" and "Dabao" looked dejected, feeling as if they had eaten a fly.
But Hong Yanwu didn't do this. Instead, he found an opportunity in Director Zeng.
Because this strange mentality of proving one's worth by disappointing others only shows that Director Zeng has been suppressed for too long.
He has finally managed to get through it now, and this kind of behavior is similar to that of a villain. Although it is annoying, it is purely natural. And there is often more dissatisfaction hidden behind it.
You know, because of Hong Yanwu's business experience in his previous life, he has a relatively dark theory about human nature.
That is, if there is something shady in a person's heart, it is his greatest weakness.
As long as you get a handle on him, he'll be at your mercy.
So instead of being angry, he took out two cigarettes from his bag and gave them to Director Zeng, and then asked to go to the workshop to take a look.
His good-natured nature was very surprising, and both "Achang", "Dabao" and "Director Zeng" were stunned for a moment.
But as expected, the foreign words "Marlboro" and "Hilton" really dazzled Director Zeng's eyes.
He immediately changed his attitude, said "Why are you so embarrassed", and then stood up.
He politely led the three of them out of the factory director's office and walked downstairs.
This was exactly the reaction Hong Yanwu expected.
So he became a little more confident, deliberately changed the topic, and deliberately talked about something else with Director Zeng.
"Director Zeng, the efficiency of your factory is really good."
"Of course, we mainly rely on export orders. We are the only one in the town."
"Have you always been doing export work?"
"Yes, it's been more than three years."
"Then you must all be extremely rich?"
"It's okay. If you make a batch and survive, the foreign trade unit will withhold some, and the commercial joint management committee will also keep some, as well as the town's water bill, electricity bill, sanitation bill, and management fee. After paying the tax, the workers
There are still expenses. The factory also needs to eliminate some depreciation expenses, and the rest is just so-so."
"Are you being modest? I think the factory is quite impressive. It's even better than the state-owned factories in Huacheng City."
"Ah, you still have to have face. Foreigners attach great importance to the appearance of the factory. This is also my biggest contribution in the past three years. The original factory building was so dilapidated that no one could see it. When I first came here,
I have to work in a small room that is leaky and leaky."
"Oh, I'm sorry that you single-handedly brought this factory into this situation and turned it into a star enterprise. Then you are really a big contributor to this factory. The higher-ups must pay special attention to you, right? It didn't say that promoting you as a talent to manage is more important.
job?”
Hong Yanwu pretended to praise exaggeratedly.
Director Zeng was naturally scratched.
Pretending to be modest, he said, "Where, to be honest, there is no one above, so it will be difficult to take another step. Moreover, the factory cannot do without me, and it is still difficult for others to communicate with foreign businessmen. I am satisfied, and take care of the current situation."
Good job. It will be great if we can double the size of the factory within three years."
"Oh, then you are really a good factory director who is willing to do practical work. Reform requires people like you."
After Hong Yanwu finished stroking his hair, he suddenly changed the topic and asked a sharp question.
"How much money can you make in a month?"
Director Zeng felt a little guilty when talking about this, but he still told the truth.
"About a hundred yuan, plus the bonus, it's probably two hundred yuan."
Hong Yanwu immediately pretended to be surprised.
"Are you kidding me? No way? A star factory director like you? ... No, no, you must be lying to me. I know the goods. Look at your tie clip, this shirt, and these leather shoes. Which one of them costs hundreds of dollars?"
Director Zeng quickly explained.
"Ah, you said this, I didn't buy this myself, it was all given by customers. How can I afford it with my own income? To be honest, our income is higher than that of other factories, but compared to your private owners, then
It’s better to have too many. There’s nothing you can do about it. It’s just more than enough than more than less than less…”
Hong Yanwu asked again.
"Then your family life is pretty good, right?"
Director Zeng's tone was somewhat helpless.
"It's so-so. My wife has asthma and can't even farm, so she has to set up a small stall in the town. I have four children and an old mother. Fortunately, my salary is not bad, and the whole family relies on responsibility than in the past.
Tian, it’s pretty good.”
"What? You have four kids?"
"Yes, the older one is already sixteen years old, and the younger one is seven years old."
As people from the capital, "Hong Yanwu" and "Dabao" immediately exchanged an unnoticeable look of envy.
