"Mr. Cheng should have introduced it to you. I want equipment for the cannery. Do you have any samples?" While they were having a pleasant conversation, Zheng Dandan got into the topic of today.

"Of course, I'll take you there."

Lu Changshun was very enthusiastic and he brought Zheng Dandan and Tan Xueming into the factory.

There are a lot of machines in the machinery factory. They are cold yet majestic, and have a kind of grandeur that is unique to machines.

"How are they? These machines look pretty good, don't they?" Lü Changshun said proudly. He was a wealthy second-generation kid, but only because he was interested in machinery would he be willing to stay in a dull factory.

"It's very beautiful." Zheng Dandan admired it from the bottom of her heart, "I just don't know what the equipment used in the cannery looks like."

"Don't worry, follow me." After hearing Zheng Dandan's words, Lu Changshun quickly led her to the display of equipment needed for the cannery. "These are all suitable for the cannery."

Zheng Dandan carefully observed the equipment that Lu Changshun pointed at after hearing this. As her gaze fell on it, Lu Changshun introduced the name, characteristics, and advantages of the equipment one by one.

"They're all very exciting. It's no wonder that Mr. Cheng personally introduced them." Zheng Dandan expressed her approval of the products. She then looked at Lu Changshun with a glint in her eyes. "I just don't know the price."

"The cheapest is 1,200, and the most expensive is 6,800," Lv Changshun replied. He then listed the price of each piece of equipment and concluded, "If you buy them all, I'll give you 40,000."

"This is too expensive." Zheng Dandan shook her head, obviously unwilling to accept it. "For the price of this one, I can buy two Bai Laiping houses in the county town."

"How is it expensive? This is already a discounted price for Mr. Cheng's sake. If you go to the state-owned steel mill, the price will be much more expensive than this." Lu Changshun smiled, not wanting to bargain.

"That's not true. If I go to a state-owned steel mill, I can involve the local government in the negotiations, and the final price won't be that high."

Zheng Dandan spoke slowly with a calm smile on her face, although she did not think the village chief had such ability.

"The reason we came here is because Mr. Cheng praised your equipment. Also, you've returned to develop the economy, and you're full of patriotism. We, your compatriots who have lived in China for generations, want to return the favor and help you expand the market. State-owned equipment may be expensive, but with the upper echelons of government backing it, there's no problem selling it. But you..."

Zheng Dandan didn't finish her words, but Lu Changshun understood her implication.

"Do you think our equipment can't be sold?" Lu Changshun looked at Zheng Dandan.

"Of course... no." Zheng Dandan smiled. "I believe in your quality, but who would complain about too much business and a large market share?"

"What you said makes sense, but I can't do business at a loss." Lu Changshun pondered.

"How come we're losing money? Director Lu, you're not a honest person. I came here with the utmost sincerity - trust, so won't you give me a little less?" Zheng Dandan refused to give in.

"Thirty to fifty thousand per set." Lu Changshun was silent for a while, then backed off. "This is my bottom line."

"Director Lu is finally showing some sincerity, but it's not enough." Zheng Dandan still disagreed. She looked directly at Lu Changshun and quoted the price she wanted, "Twenty thousand per set. I want three sets."

"Are you crazy? I will never agree to this price!" Lu Changshun was very excited when he heard Zheng Dandan's offer.

"Director Lu, you won't lose money at this price." Zheng Dandan remained calm and composed.

"But I didn't make any money either. I worked so hard for a long time, but all the money was spent working for you!" Lu Changshun said with a red face.

"Although I don't make equipment, I did my homework before coming here. Director Lu, we had such a pleasant chat just now, why do you have to act with me?" Zheng Dandan smiled, her eyes seemed to see through everything.

After hearing what Zheng Dandan said, Lu Changshun calmed down. However, he still insisted, "I can't agree to this price. Even for Cheng Huadong's sake, the minimum is 30,000."

"As the saying goes, don't fight for temporary gains. Why does Director Lu only look at the present? Your factory's market has not yet opened up. Not to mention that I bought three sets, you still have to make money. Just say that reaching a cooperation with me will be conducive to capital flow and the operation of your factory." Zheng Dandan persuaded.

After hearing this, Director Lu fell into deep thought. It was true that things had not been going smoothly since they returned to China.

They weren't the only ones returning to China to make machinery. State-owned enterprises generally turned to state-owned machinery factories when they needed them, while Chinese enterprises, in turn, turned to large machinery factories. They were caught in the middle, and their machinery was almost gathering dust.

"We who are in business know that the gears of business are turning faster and faster and becoming more prosperous. With me leading the way and serving as an example, others will feel more assured and more motivated, right? Director Lu, the saying of small profits but quick turnover is true." Zheng Dandan saw this and made persistent efforts.

"I'll make another concession, twenty-five thousand." Lu Changshun thought for a long time, and he was finally persuaded by Zheng Dandan.

"Why are you arguing with me about five thousand yuan? You're the son of a wealthy businessman who returned from abroad, and you're rich. But I'm a little country girl from the mountains, and I have to think carefully about every penny."

In order to save money, Zheng Dandan shamelessly used moral kidnapping. Fortunately, she was not completely immoral.

"Of course, I can't let you suffer any loss. So, from now on, every can that leaves our cannery will be labeled with your cannery's name. This will give you some advertising. Is that okay with you?"

Zheng Dandan was very confident about the cannery's future, so she felt the machinery factory was profitable. If it weren't for the initial limited funds and the need to be frugal, she wouldn't have proposed this plan.

However, Lu Changshun was skeptical about the cannery's future. If they were so stingy with their equipment, how could they possibly develop? But thinking about the pleasant conversation he had had with Zheng Dandan today and the face of Cheng Huadong, he also had to rely on him.
