"Beixin? Isn't that Jiang Wanqing's factory?"
The person on the other end of the phone raised a question. Yang Chang paused for a moment, swallowed, and came up with an explanation.
"You've misunderstood. Perhaps you're unaware of recent events. Comrade Jiang Wanqing was nearly murdered by criminals and is currently injured, unable to fully recover her work. She's been handed over to me to manage. Whether it's Beixin or her Jiang's Machinery, they're the same—the products are absolutely genuine. Moreover, Beixin's prices are cheaper. If you don't believe me, you can come and inspect them in person. I can fully guarantee that."
Yang spoke with great conviction, and the person on the other end of the phone remained silent for a while before responding.
"Alright, since you're so confident, I'll come and investigate myself. If it's really as you say, then I'll assume there's no difference between Beixin and Jiang's. Don't try to fool me by saying the price is cheaper."
"No, no, don't worry!"
"Okay, hahaha..."
Both being business people, they understood each other implicitly. After hanging up the phone, Yang Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead. As long as he promoted the Beixin brand and leveraged the influence and reputation of Jiang's products, wouldn't he be able to establish himself quickly?
Thinking about it really made his confidence double.
Just then, several workers passed by the door, chatting. Their conversation reached Yang Chang's ears.
"Did you see those comrades from Beijing just now? They're Comrade Jiang's good friends."
"I see them. Their demeanor is truly extraordinary. I heard they are all top students from Huada University, and they manage the factories in the Beijing area very well. It seems they are here to take over Comrade Jiang's business?"
"It's not impossible. Although Comrade Yang is quite good, he and Comrade Jiang are only partners halfway through their relationship. Moreover, Beixin is in competition with this side. In business, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."
"That's right..."
As the sound faded into the distance, Yang Chang narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, placed them on the table, and snorted.
Even the factory workers think so, so how far off could it be?
He gritted his teeth. He had been walking a tightrope with Jiang Wanqing for so long, and had almost ruined his own factory. He couldn't let her use him and then abandon him!
It seems he needs to figure out a way to get some information out of those Hung Hing guys...
He stayed in his office afterwards, giving Hung Hing members plenty of time and space to explore. He only left when the workers were about to finish their shift in the afternoon.
At this moment, Hung Hing and his men were also preparing to go back, but Yang Chang, carrying his briefcase, quickly caught up with them and stopped them.
"Comrade Hong Xing, you and the others, please wait."
He reached out to block their way, and Molly raised an eyebrow in confusion, looking at Yang Chang.
"Comrade Yang, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, I was thinking of treating you to a meal. I was busy at the factory today and didn't have time to entertain you. Now that I'm off work, I have some time. I've ordered some food at a restaurant. Shall we go over?"
"Eat?" Shen Huan pursed her lips apologetically. "We were just about to go back, so how about..."
"No, no, no, don't rush back. You've come to help me, and I'd like to learn more about the situation in the capital region. I haven't been there yet. Let's eat and talk, so we can get to know each other better. What do you say?"
Yang Chang rubbed his hands together, looking expectant and sincere. Shen Huan and Molly exchanged glances, then looked at Hong Xing's performance, and finally all three nodded.
“Alright, since Comrade Yang is so enthusiastic, it’s hard to refuse his hospitality, so please accept the expense,” Hong Xing said.
"No need for any expense, it's just a meal, it won't cost much." Yang Chang waved his hand. "I'm honored to invite the three of you to dine together. My car is outside, come on, I'll take you there."
"good."
The three of them followed Yang Chang to the restaurant. Along the way, Yang Chang asked them a lot of questions, mostly about the differences in life between the Southwest and the Beijing area, which opened up the atmosphere.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Yang Chang led them directly to a private room. As soon as they entered, the waiters began serving dishes one after another, showing that he had indeed made arrangements in advance.
Since they were being so hospitable, Hung Hing couldn't be cold to them. Yang Chang toasted him and even thoughtfully offered the two women soft drinks, which was quite considerate.
"Come on, Comrade Hongxing, let me toast you again. Did you find any problems during your inspection of the factory today? Just tell me, and I will definitely fix what I can."
"It's not really an inspection, we're just here to learn. Comrade Yang, you're too kind. You've done a great job. Even my sister-in-law praised you as a capable person. How could we dare to talk nonsense in front of you?"
"Hey, you can't say that. You guys are top-notch professionals in the Beijing area. If you have any questions, just point them out. I'm not someone who doesn't listen to advice."
"Comrade Yang, you've really done a great job. We admire you very much." Molly took a sip of her soda and continued, "But I do have a question, not really a question, but I don't know if I can ask it."
"Ask away!"
Yang Chang stared at Molly, who carefully considered her words and pursed her lips.
"Here's the thing, I know you and Wanqing have a cooperative relationship, but it's different from us. We cooperate with her as a whole, while you own your own factory, and there's some overlap in your business. In that case... do you think there will be conflicts? For example, orders... or technology... or if you're running around between the two, won't you... um... where will you focus your efforts?"
She tried to be tactful, and the questions she asked were indeed those that she had doubts about. Yang Chang's attitude was very good today, so she took this opportunity to ask.
Yang Chang's eyes flickered, he twirled the wine glass in his hand, and then smiled.
"Comrade Molly, that's a good question. I was worried about that too. After all, everyone has their own selfish motives, and I'm no exception. There's bound to be a difference between my own factory and someone else's. But Comrade Jiang's care for me and her help to my factory completely dispelled my worries. I earn more working for her than I do on my own, so what else can I say, right?"
He didn't spout any grand principles; instead, he focused on his own interests, and his words convinced Molly and the others that self-interest was indeed the driving force behind a person's final decision.
"I see. It seems that Comrade Yang Chang is a pragmatic and down-to-earth person."
"I'm just an ordinary person, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. If I've done anything wrong, please forgive me. It might not have been intentional, it's just that my thinking isn't as advanced as yours, which is why I'm asking for your feedback. I believe Comrade Jiang's agreement to let you come to the factory to guide... oh no, to learn from me, hahaha... must have included this in mind, right?"
Yang Chang tentatively opened his mouth, but because of the previous groundwork, the Hung Hing members did not sense his aggression and simply smiled.
"Comrade Yang, do a good job. My sister-in-law has no complaints about you."
