One...ten thousand pairs?
Li Peiqiang was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.
A pair costs ten yuan, so ten thousand pairs would be worth a hundred thousand yuan.
"Factory manager, isn't this... too much?"
Hearing Li Peiqiang's doubts, Hou Jun snorted and said, "Hmph, we need to pay our employees' wages and loans soon. If we can't pay them, you and I will both be out of our positions, and it will even be difficult for the Jiangnan Leather Factory to continue operating normally. Why not take a gamble? If we win, we can not only pay our employees' wages but also pay off our loans and have extra money to increase production. Why not?"
“This…” Li Peiqiang understood; Hou Jun was making a desperate gamble.
It wasn't out of spite against the First Leather Shoe Factory, but rather a gamble with Ye Beiping to see if he could revive the Jiangnan Leather Factory.
But the stakes were too high: a pair of leather shoes and 100,000 yuan in payment.
Seeing Hou Jun's resolute attitude, Li Peiqiang could only nod in agreement. Anyway, he would be the one to negotiate. It didn't have to be 10,000 pairs of leather shoes; it could be 6,000 or 7,000. He would see how Wei Daming reacted.
While the two leaders of Jiangnan Leather Factory were discussing the matter, Wei Daming at the First Leather Shoe Factory also encountered the issue of Li Peiqiang's agreement.
Because Chen Jiong, the factory director of the No. 1 Leather Shoe Factory, also said that the production volume could be increased to 10,000 pairs, Wei Daming was somewhat worried.
The reason given was that their First Leather Shoe Factory could afford to lose those 10,000 pairs, and they couldn't let Jiangnan Leather Factory gain the upper hand. Even if they couldn't bankrupt Jiangnan Leather Factory, they couldn't bring it back to life.
The two sales directors from state-owned factories, each with their own thoughts, rode their old bicycles toward the state-owned hotel.
Half an hour later.
The two met at the hotel entrance, but neither of them had been as arrogant or domineering as before.
"Director Li."
"Director Wei."
The two greeted each other and then headed towards the stairs.
As soon as they reached the top of the stairs, Wei Daming suddenly asked, "Director Li, how much stock has the Jiangnan Leather Factory prepared this time?"
When asked the question, Li Peiqiang suddenly turned around and looked at Wei Daming, then asked with a forced smile, "Director Wei, how much stock has your First Leather Shoe Factory prepared?"
The two exchanged a glance and sighed.
Clearly, even Wei Daming, the arrogant and domineering head of the sales department, was somewhat worried this time.
"To be honest, Director Li, I was quite happy when I heard that Mr. Ye was back. I was originally thinking of asking our Factory Director Chen to increase the quantity, but who knew he would double it. I... I'm worried that if something goes wrong with Mr. Ye, we won't be able to get the payment. And since I was in charge of this order, I might even lose my job."
Seeing that Wei Daming didn't seem to be lying, Li Peiqiang also let out a long sigh.
“You say that if something goes wrong, we lower-level employees will take the blame, but if we close a deal, all the credit goes to the factory manager. What kind of nonsense is this?”
Listening to Li Peiqiang's complaints, Wei Daming shook his head, his mood very low.
The two arrived at Jiang Hai's room at the same time.
"Director Li, why don't you go first?" Wei Daming thought for a moment, then made room for Li Peiqiang to knock on the door.
But Li Peiqiang knew exactly what Wei Daming meant, and said with a forced smile, "Director Wei, please go first."
Whoever goes in first at this point will be revealing their hand.
Although the two had shared the same idea, they were each acting on behalf of their own masters and still wanted to secure the greatest possible benefit for the factories behind them.

Just as the two were arguing, the door was suddenly opened.
Ye Beiping came out from inside, paused for a moment when he saw the two men, then smiled and greeted them, "Director Li, Director Wei, what brings you here?"
They wouldn't have been so embarrassed if they had knocked on the door first, but now that they'd been discovered, they were so awkward that they kept rubbing their toes together.
"Mr. Ye."
"Mr. Ye."
Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming could only chuckle and address Ye Beiping as "Ye Beiping."
"Come in." Ye Beiping originally planned to book a room first, but now that he had run into Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming, he could only invite them in first, as he couldn't just stand at the door.
Click!
When the door closed again, Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming saw the Jiang brothers, Jiang Hai and Jiang He, sitting on the bed.
When Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming saw the money next to the two brothers, they stared at each other with wide eyes, both looking horrified.
Unexpectedly, Ye Beiping and his team had already prepared the money; the amount in front of them was enough to pay for the goods from both factories.
