It turns out that Xu Fugui's hard work over this period of time has finally paid off.
Today, Qin Jingru felt unwell again, so she went to the hospital for a check-up accompanied by Xu Lianxiang, and it has now been confirmed that she is pregnant.
Otherwise, why would Xu Damao have nothing better to do than bring his child to the door?
It's all to give our old rival a good beating.
So that Sha Zhu will know what it means to be fat first but not fat later, and then be so fat that he can overpower the bed.
Xu Damao was unaware that the child in his arms was, to be precise, his half-sister.
The same applies to unborn children in the womb.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xu Damao will likely never know the truth.
"Congratulations, Damao! You're going to be a dad again. This time it'll definitely be a big, healthy boy."
Upon learning that Qin Jingru was pregnant again, Sun Dajiang immediately offered his congratulations.
Xu Damao was overjoyed. "Thank you, Uncle Sun. I appreciate your kind words. I will make up for the red eggs later."
"Alright! Damao, see you later."
After the two finished arguing, Sun Dajiang walked home with a smile. He was very happy today and knew he had to have a couple of meals when he got home.
Xu Damao's mission wasn't over yet; he was waiting for Shazhu to come home so that he could share in his happiness.
...
Time flies, and another half month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Sun Zhengguo has been living a very comfortable life.
After all, other units were dealing with one problem or another, while the research institute remained unscathed.
Meanwhile, after several months of intensive work, the expansion of the branch factory has been completed, and the workers have been put in place.
Yesterday we had a trial production day, and both the output and quality have met the predetermined targets.
Today, leaders from both levels of government will come to inspect the plant and hold a seminar to discuss the branch plant's future strategic goals.
A banner had already been hung at the entrance of the antenna branch factory.
A group of cadres, led by Sun Zhengguo, are shaking hands with their superiors to welcome them.
"Minister Li, welcome to your inspection."
"Deputy Director Yu, welcome to our inspection."
"Comrade Zhengguo! Don't be so polite, we're just taking a look around..."
These two were old acquaintances, so they didn't bother with formalities at all.
Next up is Director Qin from the Ministry of Commerce, whom we are all old acquaintances.
As a special guest, his purpose in coming today is to discuss the expansion of antenna sales to Europe and the United States.
"Director Sun, I'm here today with a learning attitude. Please be sure to speak freely and without reservation later."
"Director Qin, as a senior, you're not afraid of being too kind by saying this. We're just learning from each other."
"Yes, yes, let's learn from each other, hahaha!" Director Qin replied with a smile.
In fact, he still held a learning attitude in his heart.
Despite his many years in foreign trade and his expertise in certain areas and procedures, he is actually less knowledgeable than Sun Zhengguo.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party couldn't poach him, he would have tried to see if he could be recruited back to the Ministry of Commerce.
After a brief welcoming ceremony, everyone then toured the new workshop.
As for the accompanying explanations along the way, they were all left to Zhou Weimin.
This was something Sun Zhengguo did intentionally, in order to cultivate his brother-in-law's abilities.
At this moment, Director Qin suddenly asked, "Deputy Factory Director Zhou, I wonder what your factory's future production capacity will be? Will it be able to keep up with the shipping speed?"
Regarding the production capacity issue, Zhou Weimin had already made preparations, since they had already conducted trial production for a day yesterday and had some general data.
He then reported the facts truthfully.
"Distinguished leaders, after yesterday's trial production, we have obtained preliminary data. If production proceeds normally, the monthly output will be around 300,000 units."
If there's an urgent need, we can also arrange for machine factories to process the orders. We can produce around 500,000 units per month. Director Qin, I'm actually worried about overcapacity now.”
Zhou Weimin even cracked a joke, which was quite rare for him.
"No, no, the more the merrier," Director Qin quickly concealed his inner joy.
Meanwhile, he was silently doing some calculations in his mind. If the southern branch factory were included and all of them were operating at full capacity, they should be able to produce about 800,000 units a month.
If all 800,000 of these were sold, they could fetch around 40 million US dollars.
That means they could sell over 400 million in a year, more than three times their current foreign exchange reserves. Just thinking about it is exciting.
However, there is a prerequisite: they must all be sold.
Regardless of the circumstances, it is an undeniable fact that the antenna factory has earned hundreds of millions of foreign exchange for the country since its establishment.
No wonder Sun Zhengguo got away scot-free after making such a huge mess last time. Who would be willing to give up a method that can both make money and conduct research?
While Director Qin was still lost in thought, the group had finished their tour and were heading towards the conference room.
After arriving at the conference room and taking their seats, the meeting was chaired by Zhou Weimin, and several leaders also delivered speeches.
Finally, Director Qin briefly discussed the sales plan, but who knew that a problem would arise at this point?
"Distinguished leaders, given the current sales performance of our products, our next step in expanding into Europe and America is to adopt a multi-pronged approach, organizing our own sales force to launch attacks from multiple directions..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengguo's head buzzed, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Who came up with this brilliant idea? It's practically self-destruction.
"Wait, Director Qin, what did you just say? You're going to sell it yourselves?" Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Director Sun, what's the problem? It's a good opportunity to train our own comrades' abilities! It's a win-win situation, so why not?"
Listening to Director Qin's seemingly self-evident words, they didn't see anything wrong with it.
Sun Zhengguo could only chuckle and ask, "Director Qin, do you have the channels and connections? Are you sure you won't be ostracized?"
"Director Sun, we can gradually build up our channels and connections. No one is born with these skills. As for exclusion? We have the goods, so why are we afraid of no one buying them?"
Upon hearing this explanation, not only Sun Zhengguo, but also Minister Li and Deputy Director Yu frowned.
As a representative of the higher authorities, Deputy Director Yu had no choice but to say a few words at this point.
"Director Qin, I don't know whose idea this was, but the Huo family was doing a good job before, so why not hand it over to them to operate?"
Furthermore, if you botch sales in Europe and America, who in your Ministry of Commerce will take responsibility? And who can afford to take that responsibility?
Minister Li then spoke up, "I think Deputy Director Yu is right. Although I don't know anything about sales, I know that if one of our comrades were to do this job, he would definitely be ostracized."
Having heard that both bigwigs had spoken, Director Qin didn't know what else to say.
He himself did not approve of this method, but he was also helpless because the idea came from a vice minister, and he had no right to refute it.
"Leaders, since everyone disagrees with this plan, let's go back and have another meeting to discuss it. In the end, the decision will have to be made by the higher-level department."
"Alright, Director Qin, you'd better explain this to your superiors when you get back. This involves a huge amount of foreign exchange, so you should think twice before you act."
Sun Zhengguo offered one last word of advice, which brought the meeting to a close.
