"You decide what to do. I think it's fine either way." Guan Qilin sighed and sat down in the chair.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and replied, "Our factory doesn't necessarily have to put on a show and beg for smiles from others. There are plenty of factories that want to cooperate with us now."
Not to mention Yuncheng No. 1 Factory mentioned earlier, several nearby textile factories have also offered cooperation opportunities.
However, this time he chose Yuncheng No. 1 Factory not only because it was a large factory, but also because of its good reputation.
Guan Qilin also knew that Yuncheng No. 1 Factory was a well-known large factory in Northeast China, and its reputation was certainly good.
If this had happened at the very beginning of the project, he would definitely have panicked.
However, Xu Xiangyang had already solved the problem once, so he trusted Xu Xiangyang.
“You’re right.” He nodded and said, “Our factory has a good reputation and a lot of orders. There are plenty of factories that want to cooperate with us.”
No one could tolerate being suddenly charged extra money in this situation.
They are not the same factory they used to be; they have the right to choose now.
The two chatted for a while before parting ways.
Xu Xiangyang told people to drive the truck to pick up the goods, and to remain vigilant and prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
However, the textile factory's sudden price increase still puzzled him.
After all, we've been working together for over a year. Most people wouldn't feel comfortable doing something like this on short notice, right?
Besides, long-term cooperation is a good thing. Why don't you want to cooperate with the textile factory anymore?
Before he could figure it out, the phone on his desk rang again.
"Hello." He picked up the phone and answered.
"Director Xu, this is Director Li from Shancheng Textile Factory," came the cheerful greeting from the other end of the phone.
This is the same person who made the call this morning. He was incredibly arrogant, as if not cooperating with them would be his loss.
Xu Xiangyang replied casually, "Oh, Director Li, the fabric is finished?"
He could roughly guess why this person was calling and why their tone had changed.
I guess he regrets it now, not expecting that he wasn't afraid at all?
Director Li smiled awkwardly and said, "No, it will take another two days. We had a little misunderstanding earlier, didn't we? I was just thinking of letting you know if the order should be sent to our factory again? Wouldn't it be perfect to send it over together?"
hehe……
Xu Xiangyang sneered, "Director Li, I think you didn't understand what I said this morning, did you? I said we would no longer cooperate, and that's final."
"In addition, I have already partnered with Yuncheng No. 1 Factory, so you don't need to worry about our fabric. We will handle that ourselves, so you don't need to worry about it."
"What?" Upon hearing that they had already partnered with another factory, Director Li was stunned.
"No, Director Xu, we've been cooperating for a year now. How can you just switch factories like this? Besides, our factory is still offering you the original price."
“Look how far Yuncheng is. The journey of one or two days will also incur expenses.”
He panicked and quickly tried to persuade Xu Xiangyang to change his mind.
Xu Xiangyang, however, said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. At most, it just increases the cost a little. Our factory is doing better and better now, so we don't care about that little bit of cost."
He's right. They always tried to maximize profits and keep costs to a minimum.
But things are different now. Many factories want to cooperate with them, so it's not the time to consider it anymore.
Hearing this, Director Li was utterly desperate. He said nervously, "Director Xu, you can't choose another factory. How about I give you an even better deal?"
"It's all my fault for listening to other people's slander. Director Xu, please don't refuse to cooperate with us. I will definitely try to get you preferential prices in the future!"
He really had no other choice. If his boss found out that he had raised prices without permission and then cut off his business, he would really lose his job.
Besides, he didn't intend to do this at first; it was others who encouraged him.
Hearing this, Xu Xiangyang understood what was going on and asked, "Who did you say gave you the advice?"
Director Li paused for a moment before saying helplessly, "He said his surname was Wang, and he sent me some things and invited me to dinner. During the dinner, he said that we have a lot of orders now and don't care about making a little bit of profit. I thought about it and... so I agreed."
Now he's filled with regret. If he'd known it would turn out this way, why did he even do it? It's a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; he's truly filled with remorse now!
Xu Xiangyang paused for a moment. He didn't know the man surnamed Wang, so he must have been acting on someone's orders.
"How about this, I'll go to Shancheng in a few days, and you can tell him you want to thank that person and treat him to a meal."
No matter what, he had to find out who this person was and what was going on!
Director Li quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, call me when you arrive. By the way, Director Xu, what do you think about the cooperation?"
He asked somewhat cautiously, afraid that the other party might disagree.
Ultimately, it's because I didn't think things through properly and only thought about immediate gains.
Xu Xiangyang replied with a cold smile and a flat tone, "It won't work this time. I've already spoken to Yuncheng. If I suddenly go back on my word, I'll lose my credibility."
Let's talk about it next time.
Next time? There's no guarantee there won't be a next time!
He hates this kind of inconsistent behavior the most. A grown man should be true to his word. Why bother with this useless nonsense?
He's annoying anyway!
Director Li didn't think too much about it; he just wanted Xu Xiangyang to agree.
"Alright! Director Xu, I'll be waiting for you in Shancheng!" He visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Xiangyang was too lazy to pay attention to him. If he didn't want to find out who was behind this, he wouldn't have wasted so much time talking.
After hanging up the phone, he quickly arranged his next tasks. He would have to go to the mountain city, and that trip would take several days in other people's eyes.
Upon learning that he was going to Shancheng on business, Guan Qilin did not ask any further questions.
He's now in charge of things inside the factory, while Xu Xiangyang is in charge of things outside.
Furthermore, he trusted Xu Xiangyang to handle things; there was nothing he needed to worry about.
That evening, Xu Xiangyang went to the black market again to deliver goods. He was so busy that day that he was practically running around like a headless chicken.
There's no other way; isn't it all about making money?
Three days later.
After arriving in the mountain city, he first went to see Director Li and asked him to invite the people out for dinner.
When Director Li saw the people arrive, he almost knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Director Xu, please be sure to order from our factory again next time!" he pleaded.
These past two days, the factory manager learned that the order volume of Xincheng Garment Factory had decreased, and he even had a talk with him.
He managed to fool everyone with all his words!
However, if Xincheng Garment Factory doesn't place an order next time, the truth will eventually come out, and once it's discovered, he'll be finished!
Being transferred is a minor issue; if he were to be demoted and laid off, he wouldn't even want to live.
Xu Xiangyang remained unmoved. Where were you before?
When you're thinking about the benefits, why don't you think about the consequences?
Everyone has to pay the price for their actions; they don't deserve sympathy.
