"Director Wang? I remember him!"
Xu Aiguo quickly stood up from his chair and politely stepped forward to shake hands with Wang Jianmin.
Wang Jianmin didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly very pleased.
Both factories are related to food, but when they used to attend government meetings, Director Xu would look down on their cannery.
There's nothing we can do; they have more production lines, more business, and more profits.
Now the roles have reversed: the non-staple food factory is declining rapidly, while the cannery is rising like a new sun.
Despite his pride, Wang Jianmin remained humble and quickly introduced Fu Wan, who was sitting behind Xu Aiguo.
"What factory manager? Factory Manager Xu, you must have a bad memory. I'm not a factory manager anymore. Our factory manager is right here."
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Fu Wan, the factory director of our Wuxing Canned Food Factory. Director, this is Comrade Xu Aiguo from the Non-staple Food Factory."
Xu Aiguo then noticed Fu Wan, who had come in with Wang Jianmin. This woman looked even younger than his daughter, yet she was the director of the Five Star Canned Food Factory.
Xu Aiguo had already heard that the cannery had been bought by an individual. He thought that Fu Wan must be at least forty years old to have the ability to turn the Five Star Cannery around so successfully.
I can't believe she's so young!
"Director Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
As a junior, Fu Wan didn't mind extending her hand first, and Xu Aiguo quickly shook it.
"Director Fu, I've heard so much about you!"
Fu Wan smiled and said, "Not at all. I'm still a newcomer to the food industry and need to learn from all of you seniors."
Xu Aiguo thought she was just being modest, but Zhou Haoran, who was standing next to her, seemed to have seen a savior as soon as Fu Wan and the others appeared, and his whole demeanor became much more energetic.
"Director Fu, you must have come here today for a very important reason, right?"
"Haha, Director Xu is so straightforward, I won't mince words either. I heard that the food factory is considering a sale, and I'm always looking to buy things, so I came here specifically to take a look!"
These words left Xu Aiguo speechless. This young man was too arrogant. What did he mean by saying that he liked to buy things all the time?
Is their factory something?
Wait, is their factory producing ordinary stuff?!
"Director Fu, you can buy small factories, but my food factory is not something children can play around with!"
Xu Aiguo was somewhat unhappy. Although he didn't really want to sell to the Japanese, he was also reluctant to give it to the young man in front of him.
How to describe that feeling? It's like having to admit you're getting old and have to hand over the world to these young people.
Fu Wan was not intimidated by this. She calmly smiled and said, "Oh, what do you mean by playing house? Even if I am playing house, I have the ability to make this play house bigger and stronger."
I'm a very picky person. If a food factory meets my standards, I'm willing to pay the corresponding price.
If the food factory doesn't live up to its name, I'm not willing to let my money go to waste!
After Fu Wan finished speaking, she found a chair and sat down. This action and these words made Xu Zhenbang, who was standing next to her, very unhappy.
Where did this little brat come from, acting like a big shot here?
"Young man, our food factory is valued at at least 20,000. Can your little cannery really come up with that much money?"
Zhou Haoran was speechless at these words. He knew the situation of the cannery very well. Not to mention 20,000, even if it doubled to 40,000 or 50,000, this Comrade Fu could afford it.
But he remained silent. He had dealt with Fu Wan before and knew that this comrade was not one to suffer a loss.
Fu Wan didn't even glance at Xu Zhenbang. She looked at Xu Aiguo and said, "Director Xu, what do you have to say?"
Xu Aiguo forced a smile and said, "What our Deputy Factory Director Xu said makes sense. Director Fu, our factory can't buy on credit. Twenty thousand is just an estimated value. If we're going to sell, it should be even higher."
After saying that, Xu Aiguo sighed again, "Director Fu, this is a lot of money. You might not be able to afford this price now."
"Then who can afford it?"
Fu Wan asked with amusement, and Xu Zhenbang gave them a smug look.
"Of course they're rich. It's okay to tell you, but our factory has caught the eye of foreigners!"
Zhou Haoran couldn't stand his smug face and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"Xu Zhenbang, those islanders are after the factory, not you. What are you so smug about?"
"Zhou Haoran, how can you talk like that..."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Xu Aiguo frowned and stopped them.
"Stop arguing! There are so many people here, what kind of scene is this!"
After saying that, he softened his expression and looked at Fu Wan, "Comrade Fu, Deputy Factory Director Xu is not wrong, those foreign businessmen did indeed contribute more money..."
"Director Xu didn't even give me a quote, how do you know I don't have as much money as those people?"
Fu Wan asked in a cold voice, which surprised Xu Aiguo.
"But they paid 40,000, in cash."
"Forty thousand is no problem, and I can even add a little more as severance pay for workers who don't want to stay."
My question is, given that I have the money, to whom does Director Xu plan to sell the factory?
Xu Aiguo was taken aback by the question. Wang Jianmin whispered to him, "Director Xu, don't forget where your roots are. Think about your name. You can't forget your origins!"
Patriotism is a virtue, how could he not know that the island nation wanted this factory because of its favorable geographical environment, and planned to develop some kind of chemical industry here!
He had previously heard Xu Zhenbang and those islanders talk about how chemical plants produce wastewater, and since there are currently no relevant laws in China to restrict it, the wastewater and residue could be discharged into the sea.
To be honest, Xu Aiguo was also conflicted after learning about this. From a profit perspective, he wanted to sell the factory for a good price, but from a conscience perspective, he didn't want these Japanese devils to pollute his hometown's environment.
This is also why he hadn't agreed to the Japanese people's request before.
Xu Aiguo stared intently at Fu Wan, while the young comrade looked at him with an air of confidence.
Although Wang Jianmin behind him had a smile on his face, the advice in his eyes was quite obvious.
There was another woman standing nearby who hadn't said a word since she came in, but her demeanor was somewhat similar to that of her son who had gone out to serve in the army.
That's it, it's all about the young people now.
Xu Aiguo sighed and looked at Fu Wan, asking, "Is Factory Director Fu sure you can offer a higher price than those people?"
Fu Wan glanced at him, then turned and reached out to Fang Min.
Fang Min understood and hurriedly stepped forward to take the cloth bag she was carrying and open it.
Upon seeing this, Xu Aiguo's pupils dilated instantly, and he rubbed his eyes.
Good heavens! That guy's bag was full of ten-yuan bills!
"Director Xu, there are 50,000 here. If that's not enough, I'll send someone to get more."
Fu Wan said slowly and deliberately that she knew today's outcome was almost certain when Xu Aiguo asked her if she was sure.
Sure enough, the next second, Xu Aiguo nodded repeatedly, "That's enough, that's enough. When are we going to the government to complete the formalities?"
Fu Wan stood up and showed her second smile since she came in.
"Right now, we have all the necessary documents and materials. Director Xu, let's get this done as soon as possible while the industry and commerce department is still open!"
