Su Jianguo rode his bicycle to the Hongxing Plastics Factory located on the outskirts of the city.
The factory gate was rusty, and the security guard at the gate was dozing off.
"Comrade, I'm looking for your factory manager."
Su Jianguo knocked on the window of the duty room.
The security guard immediately became very enthusiastic when he saw Su Jianguo.
"Is this Boss Su? I've seen you here a few times before. The factory manager specifically told me that you can go directly to him when you arrive. I'll take you there now."
The security guards respectfully led Su Jianguo into the venue.
If it weren't for Su Jianguo, their factory would have gone out of business long ago. Therefore, the factory employees are very grateful to Su Jianguo, such a big customer.
Ten minutes later, Su Jianguo was taken into the factory director's office.
Upon seeing Su Jianguo, Director Liu immediately stood up to greet him.
"Oh, Mr. Su, you're a very important guest..."
Su Jianguo took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Director Liu, we meet again."
The two exchanged a brief greeting.
Su Jianguo got straight to the point.
"Director Liu, this time I'd like to order one hundred tons of agricultural plastic film."
"How many?"
Factory Director Liu sat up abruptly, his eyes wide open.
"One hundred tons."
Su Jianguo repeated, his voice calm.
"0.12 mm thick, 8 meters wide, with a light transmittance of over 90%."
The office suddenly fell silent.
There was a long silence.
"Mr. Su... Mr. Su."
Factory Director Liu's voice was trembling.
"Are you kidding me? Our factory only produced ninety tons last year!"
Su Jianguo smiled and casually took out the contract he had prepared beforehand.
"I'm expanding my vegetable greenhouses, I wouldn't joke about that."
Factory Director Liu took the contract, his hands trembling even more violently.
He put on his reading glasses and read it word by word, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"This...this price..."
Factory Director Liu pointed to the numbers on the contract.
"That's 20% lower than the market price!"
"Buy more, get a discount."
Su Jianguo remained calm and composed.
"Furthermore, I can pay a 30% deposit upfront, with the balance due upon delivery."
Factory Director Liu fell silent, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.
The factory has recovered somewhat, but it has at least avoided bankruptcy.
The workers haven't been paid for more than two months, and they're complaining every day.
This 100-ton order is enough to keep the entire factory busy for more than half a year, and the workers' wages will also be secured.
"I need to have a meeting with management to discuss this."
Factory Director Liu finally spoke.
"Please go ahead."
Su Jianguo gestured for him to proceed.
Factory Director Liu left the office in a hurry.
Su Jianguo got up and walked to the window, looking at the factory area outside.
The workshop door was wide open, and several workers sat lazily in the sun. The machines sat there quietly, clearly having not been running at full capacity for a long time.
Twenty minutes later.
Factory Director Liu returned with a bald, middle-aged man.
"Mr. Su, this is our factory's deputy production manager, Deputy Manager Wang."
Factory Director Liu explained.
"Old Wang, this is Boss Su, who wants to order 100 tons of film."
Deputy Factory Director Wang looked Su Jianguo up and down, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Mr. Su, what do you need so much film for?"
"Expand the vegetable greenhouses."
Su Jianguo gave a concise and to-the-point answer.
"I plan to build one hundred modern greenhouses in Sujiatun."
"One hundred?"
Deputy Factory Director Wang gasped in shock.
"How much would that cost?"
"Four hilltops, covering approximately three hundred acres."
Su Jianguo spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
The two factory managers exchanged a glance.
Factory Director Liu cleared his throat.
"Comrade Su, we agree to such a large order in principle. But there's one condition..."
"Speaking."
"Can the deposit be increased to 50%?"
Factory Director Liu asked cautiously.
"The factory is currently experiencing some cash flow difficulties..."
Su Jianguo pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"30% is my bottom line. However..."
He then changed the subject.
"If you can deliver the goods within two months, I can add another 5% bonus."
Factory Director Liu and Deputy Factory Director Wang exchanged another glance, their eyes flashing with surprise.
"make a deal!"
Factory Director Liu slammed his hand on the table and stood up excitedly.
"I'll have a formal contract prepared right away!"
After the contract was signed, Su Jianguo immediately wrote a check for 30,000 yuan.
When Director Liu received the check, his hands trembled like a leaf.
"Xiao Zhang! Xiao Zhang!"
Factory Director Liu called out towards the door.
"Go and call the finance department! Deposit the check immediately!"
The news quickly spread throughout the entire factory.
When Su Jianguo walked out of the office building, he was surprised to find dozens of workers gathered in the courtyard, staring at him expectantly.
"Boss Su!"
An elderly worker, his face covered in grease, stepped forward, his voice choked with emotion.
"Thank you for your order! We...we haven't received our wages for two months..."
The other workers also chimed in with their own opinions.
"I'm almost unable to afford my child's school fees!"
"My wife is sick and we don't even have money to buy medicine..."
"Mr. Su, you are our benefactor!"
Su Jianguo waved his hand.
"Don't do this, everyone. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement."
He turned to Director Liu.
"Fasten production, but quality must be guaranteed."
