Chapter 137 Don't Think It's Easy
When the director of the sewing machine factory heard that Deng Minghao and his Changhong Garment Factory were actually backed by the army, his expression became more serious.
“You’ve actually been praised by the political commissar. This is incredible. So why did you come here this time…?” the factory director asked tentatively.
Deng Minghao smiled and said, "I came here this time just to see how the sewing machines produced by our factory are. Our garment factory is still short of a batch of sewing machines. About a hundred or so."
Buying more than a hundred sewing machines at once was already a big deal, and the factory manager immediately laughed.
"The sewing machines we produce are all very good and of high quality. Since you want so many, we will naturally give you some discounts on the price." The factory manager said very tactfully.
As soon as Deng Minghao arrived, he pointed out that their clothing factory was backed by the army. Wasn’t he just trying to lower the price?
As long as the price is not too low, the factory director is willing to give Deng Minghao some face. After all, as long as the deal is done, he can be considered friends with Deng Minghao.
Deng Minghao smiled at the factory director and said, "It's not enough to just talk about it. Can you take me to the workshop to have a look?
I have never seen how a sewing machine is made. Please at least show me how to make one."
When the factory director heard this, he naturally disagreed. He immediately took Deng Minghao with him and called the workshop director. Together, they took Deng Minghao to the workshop to have a look.
The sewing machine factory is quite large, with three large operating workshops. Deng Minghao visited each one and walked around every production line.
Then in the second workshop, I saw Deng Minghai, his wife, and his wife's family.
When Deng Minghai saw Deng Minghao, his eyes were full of surprise, but then his face turned gloomy.
Seeing the factory director standing respectfully beside Deng Minghao and introducing something to him, Deng Minghai's expression became even uglier.
And his wife's face turned pale all of a sudden.
Deng Minghao just came here to show his face. He wanted to tell Deng Minghai not to come to him again, otherwise he had ten thousand ways to make Deng Minghai, his wife, and his wife's family lose their jobs.
What he said before was not bragging, he really could do it.
Deng Minghao had achieved the purpose of his trip, so he immediately went back and signed a contract with the factory director, ordering 100 sewing machines.
There were two people, one who sincerely wanted to buy and the other who sincerely wanted to sell. The price they offered was quite fair, much cheaper than the first batch of sewing machines.
Deng Minghao asked the purchasing department to pay the advance fee first, and then made an agreement with the factory director to deliver the 100 sewing machines to Changhong Garment Factory within two days.
After finishing all this, Deng Minghao went back with the procurement.
On Deng Minghai's side, his wife pulled Deng Minghai's clothes nervously and said, "What should we do? What he said is true. Look at the attitude of the factory director and workshop director towards him today.
If he really opens his mouth, the factory director will definitely fire us." The sister-in-law turned pale with fear.
Deng Minghai glared at her and said, "It's impossible for the factory director to fire us for no reason. This is our job. It's unjustifiable for him to do this."
It was the eldest sister-in-law's father who was knowledgeable and experienced. He glanced at the incompetent and furious Deng Minghai and said: "The factory director cannot fire us, but he can suspend us and let us go home to rest.
If we stop working for a few months and don’t get paid, what will we eat and drink?”
Deng Minghai stopped talking. After working half a day, he returned home in the evening, called his parents and younger brother, and told them what had happened that day.
"What do you think about this matter? You are his parents, and he actually came to warn me not to go and ask for money. Then you two go." Deng Minghai said to Deng's father and mother.
Mother Deng glanced at her son and said, "It's not that I don't want to go, but he said that he would keep out of our way.
If I ask for it and really piss him off, what will you and Juan'er do if you both lose your jobs? "
Deng Minghai stopped talking, but was obviously unwilling. He then went to look at the third brother, Deng Mingwen.
The third brother is the most cunning one. Even the eldest brother is subdued by Deng Minghao, so he will definitely get nothing if he takes action. Although he is unwilling to do something that he knows will have no results, he will not rush out rashly to be a pawn.
"Don't look at me. I'm not thinking about the money in his hands." Deng Mingwen shrugged and said.
Finally, Father Deng said, "I'll go tomorrow and meet him to see what he thinks."
Deng Minghai glanced at his father and said, "You must get some money back. Otherwise, you don't have to come back. Let the second son take care of you in your old age."
Father Deng looked at his cruel eldest son and his heartless younger son and sighed deeply.
At night, the old couple lay in the tent that Deng Minghao had set up in the yard before.
Deng Minghao also had a room before, but after the eldest brother got married and had children, Deng Minghao was kicked out.
He had nowhere to go, so he set up a tent and a bed in the yard and slept like that for several years.
After Deng Minghao left, the third son got married, and the two sons each had several children, so the house became even smaller.
Finally, the old couple were forced to move into this tent.
"Old woman, do you regret it?" Father Deng sighed quietly and asked Mother Deng who was still awake beside him.
Mother Deng said nothing.
After a long while, Deng's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I treat him badly, I am still his mother, and he dare not not support me.
Tomorrow we will go together and we must get some money back."
Father Deng said, "Then the second son will never come back."
Mother Deng sneered, "It's like you're saying that if I don't do this, he will come back. Anyway, he won't come back. It's better to ask for some money and cut off ties with him."
The next day, Li Ruolan did not go to the factory, but stayed at home to clean up the house. Deng Minghao also followed Li Ruolan to clean up, as if he was waiting for someone.
At about ten o'clock, there was a knock on their door.
Li Ruolan went over to open the door and saw Deng's father and mother. She said nothing, but stepped aside to let the two in.
Deng Minghao glanced at the two of them and said, "Since you are here, you should have brought the letter of severance of marriage with you, right?"
"You really know me well. The letter of severance has been written. Give us 1,000 yuan and I will break off all ties with you." Deng's mother shamelessly asked for 1,000 yuan.
Deng Minghao stood up and said, "I have many ways to sever ties with you, but I don't want to break off relations with you, so I chose a gentler way.
But don't be too greedy. In my heart, you two are not worth 1,000 yuan at all.
If you want to have a good talk, don't be so greedy and ask for too much, otherwise I will be unhappy and your whole family will have a hard time."
