Fan Xiaofan and his group at the watch factory didn't arrange for anyone to pick them up; they were using fake identities themselves, and arranging a pick-up would only attract attention.
The group followed the address, and the watch factory was not hard to find. However, Fan Xiaofan was quite surprised. She originally thought it would be similar to the factories she had seen before, but it turned out to be much more upscale. In short, it could be described as grand and impressive.
I've heard that the current factory manager of the watch factory is a man with a somewhat Western style named Lu Zhiming. He studied abroad for the development of the country and returned to dedicate his life's learning to the industry.
As employees seconded to study, Fan Xiaofan and his two companions went through a strict inspection process at the entrance before finally receiving their temporary work permits.
The person leading the tour gave them a brief introduction with a proud expression.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhiming was bent over, examining the blueprints on the table frame by frame with a magnifying glass. The blueprints had been delivered to him for almost a week, and he still hadn't thoroughly studied them.
Some of the changes seemed inexplicable to him, with a unique sense of novelty and adventure. However, despite his experience studying abroad, Lu Zhiming was still somewhat conservative at heart, and he frowned as he pondered the matter carefully.
He knew that the Guo family was currently short of funds, and that failure would result in a huge waste of resources.
"They also said they would send someone to answer my questions, but I don't know if they've come yet?"
Rubbing his slightly blurry eyes, Lu Zhiming steadied himself, rubbing his aching back, and carefully put the blueprints away in the sturdy-looking safe beside him.
He left his office and heard that people from other factories had come to visit. He just nodded casually. There were always a lot of people visiting the watch factory, including some foreign importers. Of course, they couldn't see the secret processes involved; they only saw the surface-level details.
However, most of the business is still in China. Chinese watches are not competitive enough in the international market. Firstly, they do not have the same heritage as foreign watches. Secondly, foreign watches are more sophisticated and accurate in timekeeping. Thirdly, they are still unable to reduce production costs, so they have no price advantage in competition.
When the first batch of so-called foreign importers came to discuss business, Lu Zhiming was excited. But when he found out that they were just going through the motions and seemed to want to see him make a fool of himself, he became much calmer.
Factory Director Lu had always dreamed that one day, the watches produced by their factory could go international, and show those people that what they could do, China could also do.
Unfortunately, dreams, though noble, are constantly thwarted by reality. S City, an open and inclusive city, is the best place to test them. The watches at the Overseas Chinese Exchange store are in high demand, while their own-produced watches are only second-best, and sometimes even sluggish.
It's like, like a defective product that can't be sold.
The thought of this made Director Lu's heart ache terribly.
Fan Xiaofan and his two companions followed the guide through the superficial procedures. Liu Fang and Gu Wenyan couldn't understand any of it and felt dizzy from the person's rambling explanations.
In contrast, Fan Xiaofan was the most clear-headed. They had only visited some superficial projects along the way. She also subtly inquired about the watch production situation. It should be the time to expand the watch market, but the production volume was not large, which was enough to prove one thing: its sales were not very good.
