Of the four textile mills in the city, the No. 1 National Cotton Mill had the best "surface efficiency." This "surface efficiency," a term coined by Li Cheng, meant that a mill might still be able to survive for a while, but in reality, it had already rotted away.
If we compare these four textile mills, we can only say that they are worse. Of course, the First National Cotton Mill is slightly better than the other three, but the Fourth National Cotton Mill is the worst.
Li Cheng has some opinions about the director of Factory 1, so even if the director wants to invite Li Cheng to dinner, he needs to use Yang Hong to make contact.
The director of the first factory was surnamed Gao, and was said to be a relative of Mr. Gao, president of the city branch. The last time Mr. Gao was applying for a loan to repay a loan, he actually asked President Gao to greet Li Cheng and Vice President Fu separately.
Li Cheng hated this kind of thing where one had to use big banners and take advantage of others' shortcomings. Although he finally got the job done, Li Cheng did not let him go. Instead, he asked them to pay back the interest on a loan that had been overdue for a long time.
Afterwards, Li Cheng asked Gao Qinqin and learned that Factory Director Gao and Bank President Gao were not real relatives. They had the same surname and had created a story about being from the same family for five hundred years.
Of course, because of their age difference, Director Gao, who is a dozen years younger than President Gao, consciously calls President Gao uncle.
Although Li Cheng hated Director Gao, who had no bottom line in building relationships, he needed him in his plan.
Because of the above reasons, Li Cheng decided to go to this meal. However, Li Cheng also brought Gao Qinqin with him.
At the dinner table, when Li Cheng explained Gao Qinqin's identity and background, Director Gao immediately acted like he had seen a long-lost relative. He held Gao Qinqin's hand and kept calling her "sister..."
Li Cheng and Yang Hong tried hard to suppress their laughter as they looked at Gao Qinqin's bewildered expression. Fortunately, Gao Qinqin had been under Li Cheng's influence for a long time and after a while she figured out what was going on.
She glanced at Li Cheng, then said calmly, "Oh, I remember now. Director Li once told me about you..."
"Yes, yes, we are relatives. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me..."
Gao Qinqin casually shook off his hand, then looked at Li Cheng and said, "Director Li, when you came here, you didn't tell me that it was my brother from the same family who was treating us!"
My brother from the same family? Did he acknowledge me so soon?
Li Cheng smiled and said, "I want to give you a little surprise."
Gao Qinqin sat down next to Li Cheng. Li Cheng quickly lifted his foot so Gao Qinqin didn't step on his foot.
The two of them had been in the same office for nearly a year and were well aware of each other's tricks.
With the overly attentive Director Gao's greeting, the atmosphere at the table became quite harmonious. Taking this opportunity, Yang Hong told Director Gao part of the plan.
The two knew each other before, and their relationship wasn't good, but after Yang Hong left the branch, Director Gao's attitude towards him wasn't as good as before.
Now that Yang Hong has brought up the plan, and in the presence of Li Cheng and Gao Qinqin, Director Gao has no choice but to take it seriously.
It is obvious that Li Cheng is the current director of the credit department. Li Cheng has a great say in whether the No. 1 National Cotton Mill can continue to survive.
As for his patron, President Gao, let’s not talk about it, because his own niece is sitting right across from him!
These two people were invited by Yang Hong, so naturally they were there to support Yang Hong.
Director Gao made a complete about-face and began to discuss the feasibility of the plan with Yang Hong. After some discussion, Director Gao thought the plan was a good one, but it was not appropriate to implement it at this time.
The reason was that the four textile factories were facing a critical juncture of restructuring and merging into a textile group. At this time, the cooperation between Factory One and Yang Hong was suspected of being disloyal and not complying with the city's decision.
Yang Hong looked at Li Cheng and saw that he was whispering something to Gao Qinqin, as if he didn't care about what was happening here. Yang Hong understood that he would have to play the leading role this time.
Yang Hong knew that Director Gao's reasons were ridiculous even to him. But Director Gao was simply exaggerating the difficulty of the matter, so that Yang Hong could offer a higher price.
Director Gao was the factory director after all, so he had some negotiation skills. But Yang Hong was certainly no rookie either, as he was now both an investor and a businessman.
Although, in the final analysis, these two identities are actually one identity, but the investment company has its own uniqueness. After all, it is a little different from ordinary businessmen.
Yang Hong smiled, then picked up the chopsticks and said, "Chopsticks are only useful when they come in pairs. If Director Gao puts all his hopes on that textile group, it's like eating with one chopstick. That's hard!"
Director Gao was actually opposed to the formation of a textile group. After all, his factory was only slightly better than the other three. If the textile group was established, this slight advantage might become the textile group's advantage, or it might disappear completely.
He always believed that the city agreed to set up the textile group because the first factory still had this little advantage, and perhaps this little advantage could be used to lead the other three factories out of their predicament.
But he knew very well how big this advantage of Factory 1 was. It was nothing more than the introduction of more advanced air-jet spinning a few years earlier, which resulted in higher production efficiency, less manpower usage, and thus lower costs.
Another more important reason is that because the accounts look better, the bank agreed to let them repay the loan with a loan, so that the factory can have cash flow.
If the bank gets angry one day and insists on calling in the matured loan and no longer agrees to loan repayment, then the first textile factory will be in the same mess as the other three, and it will be in a state of collapse.
