The cashier in the finance department had been waiting for Fu Wan and Li Youchuan for a long time. As soon as Li Youchuan brought his people in, the woman stood up and immediately picked up her cloth bag.
"Director Li, shall we go to the bank now?"
Li Youchuan forced an awkward smile and said, "Wait a minute, I need to go talk to the deputy factory director about something."
The ship has been replaced, and the contract needs to be re-signed. As a director, he doesn't have that much decision-making authority; he must inform the factory manager or deputy factory manager.
If nothing unexpected happens, he'll definitely get a scolding before he can get the new contract.
But at most he would just curse a couple of times. The deputy factory director was like a brother to him, and considering that the ship had been sold, he wouldn't make things too difficult for him.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, please sit here for a while. I'll go print out the new contract first."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement, "Okay, Director Li, you'd better hurry, or the bank will have to close soon."
"Okay!"
Li Youchuan agreed, wiped his face, and then knocked on the door of the deputy factory director's office with the materials in hand.
Meanwhile, in the finance department, several colleagues looked at each other in bewilderment. Why did they have to reprint the contracts again?
The shipyard cashier had seen Fu Wan several times, so while pouring tea for Fu Wan and the others, he quietly inquired about the situation.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, do you need to renegotiate your contract?"
Fu Wan smiled and nodded generously, while the cashier asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Haha, you'll find out when Director Li gets back."
This was ultimately the shipyard's mistake. Fu Wan didn't know the relationship between Li Youchuan and the finance department, so it was better for them to handle it themselves.
Time passed slowly, and the shipyard's finance department was mostly staffed by women. Everyone treated Fu Wan, such a big client, with great deference.
Fu Wan had a good impression of these women. Coincidentally, she still had some samples that Zhang Xiaoqing had taken earlier in her bag, so she took them out and shared them with them.
Several female colleagues initially declined, but the youngest cashier took the lead and opened a small package.
"Wow, this octopus head tastes really good, and the spiciness is so satisfying!"
Everyone took one look and didn't stand on ceremony.
"I think this codfish cake is pretty good, it's fresh and fragrant."
After eating it, the comrades all praised it highly and asked Fu Wan where she bought it.
Fu Wan smiled mysteriously, "If you're interested, you can check it out at the supply and marketing cooperative and Friendship Store. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be on the market soon."
This food hasn't even been released to the market yet!
"Could this also be a product from Factory Director Fu's factory?"
The cashier stared in disbelief as she took a bite of the small silver fish, while the accountant, being even more astute, immediately began to examine the packaging bag in her hand.
"Five-Star Food Factory? Good heavens, you own the food factory too?"
Fu Wan smiled modestly, "They belong to everyone. Our food factory and cannery produce food for everyone!"
"This tastes really good! I'll go check it out at the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow!"
"You're going tomorrow? I can't wait, I'll go right after get off work!"
It was unusual for the finance department to be so lively. Li Youchuan coughed twice as he entered, and Fu Wan glanced at her watch.
A full half hour had passed since Li Youchuan went to negotiate with the deputy factory director.
"Director Fu, the new contract is ready!"
Li Youchuan handed over the documents in his hand. They were just a few thin sheets of paper, but they were what he had earned after being scolded for half an hour.
There was nothing he could do; nobody knew how the numbers were changed, so in the end, he had to take the blame.
Fortunately, the deputy director of the shipyard, despite his complaints, ultimately didn't mind the low profit margin of the order, considering that the ship had been sold.
After all, even if they sold their entire factory, they might not be able to afford this ship.
That's a treasure; the sooner we get rid of it, the better.
Fu Wan took the contract and read it through. Seeing that there were basically no problems, she signed her name again.
Of course, the previous contract was now void.
After signing the contract, the group rushed to the bank to transfer the ship's assets. Fu Wan glanced at her savings account and saw that she still had several million yuan left.
She thought for a moment, withdrew some more money, and then put the passbook away.
However, just as they walked out of the bank, a strange man suddenly approached them from the side.
Fang Min stood guard in front of Fu Wan, and the bank's security personnel also came over.
Although public security has improved a lot compared to a few years ago, there are still robbers these days.
Seeing that Fu Wan and the others had misunderstood, the man hurriedly stepped back to explain.
"Hello comrades, please don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions."
I see you're also in business, so I was wondering if you'd be interested in investing in stocks?
After saying that, he handed over the business card in his hand, "This is the contact information for our securities firm. If you are interested, you can contact us."
The man was a middle-aged man in his forties. Fu Wan patted Fang Min's arm to indicate that she was alright.
She smiled politely at the man and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about this. I'll keep this business card and contact you again if I need anything."
She took the business card, the man smiled politely, and then walked to the next person coming out of the bank.
This situation was quite common at the time; securities exchanges were just emerging and needed capital injections to get started. Many people might make a fortune through stock trading, but Fu Wan didn't want to spend all her time watching the stock market, so she didn't plan to invest any more money in it.
Such an expensive ship naturally comes with a delivery service from the shipyard. After a moment's thought, Boss Fu decided to sail back with the shipyard workers.
On the one hand, he could learn some precautions for operating the ship from the shipyard workers; on the other hand, he couldn't wait to take the ship back with him.
“Ah Wan, let’s sail back together. That comrade just said that our jeep can drive onto the deck.”
Upon hearing Boss Fu's question, Fu Wan shook her head.
"Dad, you go back first. I have some things to do at the food factory."
Ever since she decided to participate in the trade fair in Shanghai, Fu Wan had been thinking about visiting the food factory.
Being a hands-off manager isn't easy; at least until the factory thrives, she'll still have to worry about things for a while.
Before going to the food factory, she boarded the ship again to take a closer look at her new vessel. It truly lived up to its reputation as a meticulously renovated ship. She had only noticed its size before, but she hadn't expected that there were more than twenty rest cabins, including both private and public restrooms.
The rest cabins were even marked with numbers, and even the cockpit was labeled "Headquarters Room".
What pleased Fu Wan the most was that there was a kitchen on the first floor, and behind the kitchen was a spacious room with several tables and chairs.
According to the shipyard staff, the ship was originally a Soviet ocean-going fishing vessel, which was sold to a Chinese company after the fleet went bankrupt.
This kitchen was naturally converted from a shipyard, because in the hearts of Chinese people, eating is the most important thing.
After visiting all these places, Fu Wan told Fu Laoda to go back by boat, while she and Fang Min went to the food factory.
Zhang Xiaoqing was busy all afternoon. Not to mention anything else, just handling the group registration with the business administration took her two hours.
The group registration was completed, but obtaining the export registration certificate was not so easy.
There was no other way; this small county had never exported goods before. When Zhang Xiaoqing went over to ask about the necessary documents, even the staff were baffled.
