The county textile factory was also participating in the Canton Fair for the first time, and they were using the provincial textile factory's booth. Their booth was just a table, with a few rolls of cloth of varying materials on it. Compared to the provincial textile factory's exhibits, they were completely inferior. They clearly had no expectations; they came with a desire to see the world.
Director Liu had been sitting behind the exhibition counter for a long time, but no one came to ask about him. He decided to go out for a walk, thinking that since there were only two of them, someone would be enough to keep an eye on him. But just as he was leaving, he ran into Secretary Xiao Zhang, who immediately said, "Director Liu, do you have the official seal with you? Come with me! Someone wants those headdresses that Mr. Zhu has."
"I've got it. Let's go, let's go quickly." Director Liu said as he started to jog.
The two soon arrived at the machinery factory's booth. Seeing Zhu Youliang, Director Liu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, didn't you say you would bring ours to display this afternoon? How come it's sold out already?"
Zhu Youliang said, "Thanks to Miss Wei'an, she introduced Miss Chen to me. Director Liu, this is Miss Chen Wanting from Hong Kong. We have already signed the contract, and all we need is your official seal."
"Hello, Director Liu." Chen Wanting extended her hand generously.
Director Liu quickly extended his hand, half-shaking it before releasing it. "Hello, hello." He then pulled out the official seal and said to Zhu Youliang, "I'll stamp it right away. You're truly a capable man. If I weren't afraid of Guo Daqiang scolding me, I would have brought you to our machinery factory long ago."
Guo Daqiang heard this and said, "That can't be possible. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent for Zhu Gong to go to your place?"
Director Liu was about to retort when he saw the price of the headpiece and brooch, plus the quantity Chen Wanting had requested. His eyes widened in surprise. Such a small headpiece was so profitable. Without even asking, he immediately stamped the deal. He couldn't let such a good deal slip away. While the headpiece didn't belong to the machinery factory, having it under their name would bring honor to them. He'd have to talk to Old Wu after returning to see if they could collaborate on a factory.
Seeing that the contract was ready, Chen Wanting extended her hand to Zhu Youliang and said, "Happy cooperation."
"It's a pleasure to work with you." Zhu Youliang said happily.
"After I get back, I will ask my secretary to transfer the deposit. Please pay more attention to your side. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Chen Wanting said as she picked up the headdress that was on the table.
"Goodbye." Zhu Youliang nodded quickly.
"Mr. Zhu, how about we talk about cooperation?" Director Liu rubbed his hands.
Guo Daqiang rushed over and said, "What are you talking about? The people Smith is looking for are here with food. Come with me quickly."
Zhu Youliang had no choice but to say, "Director Liu, let's talk tonight. By the way, could you please call back and talk to your factory accountant about the deposit?"
"Hey, I'll call at noon. You go ahead and do your work." After saying that, Director Liu didn't leave, but followed them to the tractor. He knew that the agricultural tractors sold at the machinery factory were not cheap, and they made more money than the headwear. If they could really sell them, they would earn a lot of foreign exchange.
The man Smith had invited was called Walker, and he had a technician carrying a box with him. Smith was obviously very familiar with the technician, and after a few words, he asked the technician to get on the tractor.
Because Smith was talking to Walker, Zhu Youliang did not go over to him, but looked at the technician instead.
Guo Daqiang approached him nervously and whispered, "Is everything okay?"
"Definitely no problem." Zhu Youliang said confidently. "How come you're calmer than me?"
"Because I designed this tractor!" Director Guo looked at him speechlessly. Why was he bragging about himself?
After that, he calmed down and instead craned his head to watch the technician operate. The technician was clearly an expert, operating with professionalism, writing something in a small notebook as he watched. After a while, he stopped and gave Smith and Walker an "OK" sign. Walker said, "Thank you for your hard work," and the three of them walked away. After a long pause, they gathered around and muttered to each other before approaching Zhu Youliang and Guo Daqiang.
"This is Zhu Youliang, one of the designers of this tractor," Smith introduced to Walker. He then said to Zhu Youliang, "This is my old friend Smith. He's very interested in your engine, specifically, the continuously variable transmission technology."
"Hello, Mr. Walker, this is Comrade Guo Daqiang, the director of our machinery factory." Zhu Youliang hurriedly extended his hand.
Guo Daqiang was pondering Smith's words, and upon hearing them, he hurriedly greeted Walker.
Walker: "I heard you were originally an engine manufacturer. I think the engine in your tractor is quite good. I wonder if you can modify it to suit our requirements and make it suitable for automobiles? If you have the ability, it would be even better if you could design a completely new one."
Zhu Youliang did not answer immediately, but looked at Guo Daqiang. Guo Daqiang immediately gave him a look that said, "You decide for yourself."
Zhu Youliang thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Walker, thank you for your recognition. To be honest, we started considering this issue long before the agricultural tractors were produced. In fact, we have already designed an engine suitable for automobiles that has some of the same functions, but production has not yet begun, which means it is still on paper. If you are willing to trust us, please tell us your requirements. We will start preparing as soon as we return. We will notify you as soon as we have any news. You can also send someone to our factory to inspect it at that time."
Walker nodded. "Okay, here's my business card. I'll have Smith convey our needs later. I hope you can produce an engine like this as soon as possible. We hope to use it in our latest Walker car. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now. You guys talk."
