Jiang Wanqing didn't want to repeat what she had said in Jiangnan in Beixin, as that would be a waste of time, and it would be bad if the other party misunderstood. So she took out a plan and handed it over directly.
"Comrade Yang, take a look at this."
"Okay, let me take a look."
Yang Chang was a middle-aged man who looked very calm and cautious, a fact that Jiang Wanqing had already confirmed when she first met him. At this moment, he picked up his glasses from the table, put them on, and carefully flipped through the plan page by page.
The further he looked, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he slapped his thigh and exclaimed in surprise.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Comrade Jiang, I misunderstood you just now. I didn't expect your idea to be so ingenious. No wonder that kid Du Heng was so anxious. But I still want to ask, why don't you cooperate with him? Logically speaking, he's not someone who's reluctant to part with things, and the conditions he offered you would definitely satisfy you."
Yang Chang took off his glasses, a hint of doubt in his eyes. If Jiangnan couldn't meet her requirements, he would have to consider whether Beixin could.
“In terms of conditions, Jiangnan does meet all my needs, but… Comrade Du Heng and I have some other issues, which I won’t go into detail about. Just know that no matter who I cooperate with, I will give it my all.”
"Alright! With you saying that, I believe you!" Du Heng immediately stood up. "Come on, I'll take you to see the factory and let you understand the actual situation here."
“That’s great, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”
Jiang Wanqing immediately stood up with him. She was too embarrassed to say it earlier, but now that he had taken the initiative, it was perfect.
They arrived at the factory together. As soon as she entered, she felt that it was quite different from what she had seen in southern Xinjiang. The workers were less efficient, the age structure was not good, and the machinery and equipment were outdated, just as she had guessed from outside the factory.
"This is our production workshop. These machines were purchased by the state ten years ago and are still usable. We didn't discard them to save costs."
No wonder, Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips and pointed to one of the machines.
"Let's go take a look."
"good."
She walked over to the machine and inspected it briefly. The equipment was severely aged, with a strong, unpleasant smell of machine oil, and it was prone to accidents. She frowned.
"Comrade Yang, have you considered that using a batch of machines that can no longer keep up with production needs will lead to your factory becoming even less efficient and the input-output ratio becoming even more unbalanced?"
“This…” Yang Chang scratched the back of his head, smiled, and shook his head. “The main problem is that we really can’t afford to spend a huge sum of money to upgrade our equipment in a short period of time.”
This was indeed a large sum of money. Jiang Wanqing put herself in her shoes and realized that if it were her, she would definitely have to think it over carefully before making a decision.
She looked around at the machinery in the factory, bit her lip, and finally made a suggestion.
"I have a way to avoid replacing the equipment. Just do as I say, maintain and repair the equipment to extend its lifespan by one to two years, and then increase revenue and profits during this period. In return, we can replace the equipment. What do you think?"
"That's a good idea, but do you really have a way..."
Before Yang Chang could finish speaking, a voice came from outside, as if someone was calling him.
"Yang Chang! You come out here!"
That voice... it's very familiar. Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but exchange a glance with Yang Chang, who chuckled and gave her some instructions.
"Comrade Jiang, I had someone take you to hide. It must be that kid Du Heng who's here. I can't let him steal your genius away from me. Please forgive me."
Jiang Wanqing almost laughed out loud at these words. She waved her hand and shook her head.
"No need for all that trouble. He won't give up until he sees me. He already knows I'm here. Let's go see him together. The final decision on who to cooperate with and how to cooperate is up to me. No one can dictate my decision."
That's true, but Yang Chang was afraid of leaving a bad impression on her, so he agreed.
"Alright, let's go take a look together."
Du Heng was stopped outside by several people. He was anxious to rush in, but he stopped when Yang Chang and Jiang Wanqing came out.
"Comrade Jiang, you really are here! Please don't cooperate with Beixin! We in Jiangnan are willing to add more to the original cooperation terms. I know that my personal reasons have caused some unpleasantness for you and your spouse, but I have reflected on my actions. From now on, public and private matters will be kept separate. I will never act on my own initiative. Please cooperate with us!"
Du Heng's voice was very loud. If it weren't for the fact that his words were full of requests for cooperation, people who didn't know the situation would have thought that he had interfered in someone else's relationship or marriage and was saying such things to ask for forgiveness.
"Pfft... I'm telling you, kid, you did something wrong and you still dare to cause trouble here. I, Beixin, am no less than Comrade Jiang. If you barge into our factory like this, I'm going to call the police."
"Go ahead and report it, I'm not afraid. Anyway, Comrade Jiang can't cooperate with you! Otherwise, I'll become a sinner in the entire southern Xinjiang region!"
The two of them were exchanging words back and forth, which gave Jiang Wanqing a bit of a headache. She looked at Du Heng and spoke calmly.
"Comrade Du, you should go back. I'm just checking out a few more factories. I haven't decided who to cooperate with yet. I might cooperate with anyone, just in different ways. I have my own ideas. I don't belong to any of your camps. I'll talk about my business with Jiangnan at your factory later. This is Beixin, so please respect the people here."
"Did you hear that? This is Comrade Jiang's attitude. Don't irritate him, or you really won't get anything."
Yang Chang thought Jiang Wanqing was very capable, both in terms of ability and eloquence. Who else would dare to move between several factories? She did.
"Well... I'll wait here until you're done talking, then I'll take you home, Comrade Jiang."
"You brat! Can't we take our esteemed guests from Beixin home ourselves? Do we need you to take them? Get out of here!"
The two fought fiercely over the person, with Yang Chang directly pushing the person away, and Du Heng refusing to back down.
Jiang Wanqing quickly stopped them and said "Hey".
"Don't move! Don't lay a hand on me. Let's call it a day." She looked at Yang Chang. "Comrade Yang, I stand by what I said. Even if the cooperation doesn't work out, I'll still help you maintain and repair the equipment. I also have some other ideas that I'm not quite ready to discuss. I'll think about them when I get back."
"Oh, you're leaving already? I was hoping to treat you to dinner..."
"No need, I have family at home, I have to go back to be with him."
Yang Chang wanted to speak, but remembering that Du Heng had just said that he had offended Jiang Wanqing for personal reasons, he immediately dared not speak and could only agree.
"Alright, next time Comrade Jiang comes, please contact me in advance and I'll pick him up personally!"
"Thank you, see you another day."
"Okay, see you another day!"
That meant there was hope. Yang Chang breathed a sigh of relief and saw Jiang Wanqing out of the factory.
