Chapter 427 Conditional
The tall guy was quite embarrassed. He looked at Ning Jiandong with an expression that clearly showed that he was asking for help.
Ning Jiandong was almost mad with anger, but the person who caused the trouble didn't know how to solve the problem and came to him for advice.
"What are you looking at me for? Apologize."
The tall man suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly apologized to Yi Chichi, explaining, "Niece, I didn't mean to scare you or make you work in vain. It's just that what happened today made me really angry."
"Let me tell you..."
"Feel sorry!"
Seeing that he was about to go on a long rant about his complaints, Yi Chichi quickly interrupted him and said, "Don't tell me about work."
To be honest, she is just an ordinary embroiderer who also works part-time as a drawing tool.
Things like orders, channels, and competition that need to be on the surface are really not suitable for her to listen to.
Therefore, running away is the best option.
Yi Chichi is a person of action. Once she made the decision, she decisively left and closed the door of the meeting room.
A door separates the indoor and outdoor worlds into two.
Ning Jiandong and the others in the room looked at the closed door, and after a long silence, they continued the unfinished meeting.
Yi Chichi returned to the office and started over diligently.
I am grateful for the special feature of the Friendship Store, which not only has electric lights but also desk lamps.
Even when night fell, it had no effect on her vision.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, just when she drew out the design and prepared to refine and color it, Ning Jiandong and his team's meeting ended.
Most of the people who participated in the meeting had left, but Ning Jiandong and the other five had not left yet.
They still have things to talk about.
When I arrived at the door and was about to come in, the tall man who was swaggering in front of me suddenly stepped back.
Ning Jiandong and the others, "???"
"you……"
"Shhh."
The tall man lowered his voice and whispered, "Let's go somewhere else. Comrade Xiaoyi is busy working, and we'll disturb her if we go in."
Gu Xinghua leaned over to take a look. Yi Chichi, who was working at his desk, didn't even raise his head. It was obvious that he was too immersed in the work to notice the noise they made.
The group of five people left and did not go anywhere else. Instead, they went to the finance office across the street to discuss business.
"So the order was given to the textile factory just like that?"
The tall guy was very upset about this. He was the one who brought the customer and negotiated the order, but now he was asked to give it up. No one would feel comfortable with this.
Gu Xinghua and the others all looked at Ning Jiandong. Ning Jiandong, who was stared at, said that he was helpless as well.
"The key to this matter is not me, it depends on what the higher-ups think."
Besides, even if he could make the decision, he would give up the order.
The reason is simple: Friendship Store does not have the ability to take large orders.
"Lao Gao, you have to figure out our position!"
The tall man, also known as Gao Changqing, frowned. "I know what our position is, but that's no reason for us to give up the order. These are all political achievements. Are you willing to just give it up like this, Old Ning?!"
“I’m not willing to accept this!”
Ning Jiandong spoke frankly, "So I plan to talk to Comrade Shi when I go to submit the design drawings tomorrow morning."
"How sure are you?"
“Very big.”
He smiled and said, "The textile factory and we have a long-term cooperative relationship. Comrade Zhu Ping'an knows his limits."
Zhu Changkun is the director of a textile factory and a retired military cadre. He is a very tough and law-abiding person.
The reason why he wanted to intercept this time was probably because he was forced into a corner.
Thinking of this, Ning Jiandong looked at Gao Changqing and asked, "Did you see Lao Zhu at the meeting today?"
“I see!”
Gao Changqing nodded. "Old Zhu is running around the place looking for machines. He wants to innovate technology."
This topic is silent.
The words "technological innovation" are easy to say but very difficult to do.
If the equipment cannot keep up, no matter how many ideas you have, they will be useless.
Unless you spend a lot of money to buy foreign machines.
But there are too many factories that are poor and waiting to be upgraded.
Compared with textile factories, Machinery Factory No. 1, Machinery Factory No. 2, Shipbuilding Factory and other factories are the top priorities.
Anyone working in finance is insensitive to money. Lin Qingyue, also a finance professional, subconsciously did some calculations in her mind, then sighed, "Director Zhu has it tough too. His technological innovation still has a long way to go."
Ning Jiandong sighed, "We are still too poor."
Everyone sighed, they were indeed poor.
I am so poor that I wish I could spend three years on the new and three years on the old, and then three years mending it.
"Let's make money!"
Hearing Gu Xinghua's words, Lin Qingyue said unhappily, "Money is not that easy to come by. We don't have many valuable things, and most of the things that can be sold are valuable."
Having said that, she couldn't help but glance at the door opposite, where the people who were making money by embroidering were still working hard.
"Comrade Yi's embroidery is truly valuable."
However, the output is too low.
"Master Qiu and his are not bad either."
There is a little difference compared with Yi Chichi.
"Manager, do you want to talk to Comrade Yi about increasing production?"
Ning Jiandong was shamefully moved, but he wasn't very optimistic.
It’s really that Yi Chichi’s embroidery takes too much time.
But I decided to give it a try.
"Talk to her when she's done."
She originally didn't have much hope, but when Yi Chichi told her about it after he finished his work, she actually agreed without hesitation.
She responded so readily that the people who had been with her after finishing their business were all stunned.
"You, you agree?"
Ning Jiandong couldn't believe it, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
This is such an unexpected surprise.
“On condition!”
Yi Chichi's tone was very calm, and the corners of Ning Jiandong and the others' mouths drooped again.
"Tell me first."
Are you going to raise the price again?!
Several people were extremely nervous, but Yi Chichi spoke immediately, "Screens and large ornaments should be replaced with small-sized fans, small ornaments, handkerchiefs and the like. Also, double-sided embroidery should be replaced with single-sided embroidery. If you can meet my requirements, thirty pieces a year will not be a problem."
But the total price of all these is not as much as the foreign exchange you can earn from one big item.
Ning Jiandong finally understood that there was no hope of increasing production by relying on her.
"You should do double-sided embroidery or three-sided embroidery."
Yi Chichi curved his lips and smiled, "You're not asking me to increase the number?"
"No."
I can't ask for anything, not even a little bit.
"How about you train a few more Suzhou embroidery masters?"
"Yangcheng is not the base of Suzhou embroidery."
The advantage of Suzhou embroidery is Guangdong embroidery. "Instead of expecting me to bring out a few more Suzhou embroidery masters, you should expect Master Qiu and his Guangdong embroidery masters to be even better."
This means rejection.
Gu Xinghua winked at Ning Jiandong, and it seemed that Zhuo Xuezhen's case was completely hopeless.
Ning Jiandong got what he meant and smiled meaningfully. He didn't intend to hand the daughter of the Zhuo family over to Yi Chichi from the beginning.
"Okay, go and rest."
After packing up the drawings, Ning Jiandong asked everyone to leave.
It was now the middle of the night and going home was impossible.
So, several people lived in the dormitory together.
