When Lü Zhengming drove to Delong Garment Factory, he was a little confused when he saw an Audi A6 and an Alto.
He shook Wang Peng's hand and said with a smile, "Are both of these cars owned by the Audi brand?"
Wang Peng smiled slightly, "The Audi is my wife's car, the Alto is my car, and my car is also an Alto."
Lu Zhengming looked at his car and said, "I'm poor because I'm poor, you're frugal because you're simple. It's different."
At this moment, four young men in suits walked over, the one in the lead being factory director Yu Delong.
The man was in his forties, with slicked-back hair and a round face. He waved and greeted them from afar.
The gatekeeper hurriedly opened the door, and Yu Delong grasped Lü Zhenghong's hands with both of them, smiling as he said, "Welcome, Director Lü, to inspect our work."
Lu Zhengming chatted with him for a few minutes and then introduced Wang Peng, "Old Yu, this is Wang Peng, the owner of Brothers Supermarket in the provincial capital."
"Oh, Mr. Wang, hello." Yu Delong also shook hands with Wang Peng, bowing and scraping.
"Hello Mr. Yu, I'm sorry to have troubled you," Wang Peng said.
"Mr. Wang, please don't be so polite. Let's go inside and have some tea." Yu Delong spoke with a southern accent and his tone was somewhat gentle.
The group entered the garment factory, with two cars parked outside. Li Keyong and Sun Minglei followed behind Wang Peng.
Upon arriving at the conference room, staff brought tea, and soon the room was filled with smoke.
Lu Zhengming said with a smile, "Old Yu, my supermarket has a monthly turnover of several hundred thousand yuan, and Boss Wang wants to sell your goods."
"How many tens of thousands?" Yu Delong looked at Wang Peng and asked doubtfully, "How big is your supermarket? Does it have a monthly turnover of hundreds of thousands?"
"It's not big, only four floors." Wang Peng opened his briefcase, took out financial statements, and handed them to him.
Yu Delong looked at the report and immediately became serious. The smile on his face disappeared, and he reached out to adjust his glasses.
After reading it, he looked up and said, "How can two four-story supermarkets have such good business? Sorry, I'm not from this province and I don't know much about the provincial capital."
Lu Zhenghong chimed in, "Old Yu, you really don't know much. The county leaders said that Brother Supermarket is a special case."
He patted Wang Peng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang is a key person we are focusing on in our investment promotion office, and he is also from Ping'an County."
Yu Delong asked Wang Peng, puzzled, "What's the special situation?"
Wang Peng pointed to the report and said, "Boss Yu, in terms of scale, my brother supermarket is not big, but in terms of turnover, my brother supermarket is far ahead. Isn't that special?"
Yu Delong was taken aback, then laughed and said, "I'm a little skeptical unless I investigate it myself."
"Welcome, a warm welcome." Wang Peng took out the business card of Brothers Supermarket and handed it to him with both hands.
Yu Delong took it with both hands, examined it carefully, and solemnly put it into his wallet, no longer showing the initial disdain.
"Old Yu, you're something else, actually turning away the God of Wealth." Lü Zhenghong continued to tease.
“It’s not my fault, I really don’t know anything about the retail industry in the provincial capital. Mr. Wang, would you do me the honor of showing you around the factory?” Yu Delong said.
"You're too kind, thank you." Wang Peng was secretly delighted; the factory tour was exactly what he wanted.
The group left the conference room, with Lü Zhenghong walking in the middle, Wang Peng and Yu Delong on either side, and the others following behind.
Yu Delong first led them to visit the Hall of Honor, and then to the production workshop.
Inside the workshop, countless sewing machines were lined up, and countless male and female workers were stepping on them, the noise deafening.
As the group walked through the workshop, Wang Peng soon saw Chen Mengchang operating a sewing machine.
Chen Mengchang recognized him and quickly lowered his head, stopping his sewing machine.
After touring the workshop, the group returned to the conference room, but Li Keyong was no longer among them.
The three began to talk, mainly Wang Peng and Yu Delong discussing clothing, with Lü Zhenghong acting as their facilitator.
In the end, Yu Delong expressed his intention to cooperate, and said with a smile, "Based on your customer traffic, you can sell five thousand pieces of clothing a month?"
Wang Peng shook his head. "I'm considering selling clothing, but it's very difficult to get through Boss Yu's door."
Yu Delong was stunned for a moment, then immediately arranged for his secretary to fetch the pass and hand it to Wang Peng with both hands.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, just leave this pass in your car, and you can drive freely in Delong."
The two talked for another half hour. Yu Delong saw Wang Peng out, and Wang Peng and Lü Zhenghong returned to the hotel together.
Lu Zhenghong said, "Brother, we're both from Ping'an County, so I won't beat around the bush. You open a branch in our county and invest several hundred thousand yuan in our county."
"Brother," Wang Peng said with a wry smile, "opening a branch is no small matter. We can't just ask me to hand over hundreds of thousands of yuan without my consent."
"Hahaha." Lü Zhenghong laughed heartily, "Great, it's good that you're interested. My trip wasn't in vain."
Wang Peng was taken aback, and was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Lu Zhenghong lit a cigarette. "Brother, just tell me what you need. If you ask for a hundred things, I'll try my best to solve them for you."
Wang Peng smiled slightly. Old Lu was exaggerating too much, saying that he could solve the problem 100%.
“Brother Lü, opening a branch is a big deal, you need to give me time to do the research,” he said.
“Okay, I know this can’t be rushed. Let’s keep in touch.” Lü Zhenghong didn’t press the matter and got up to take his leave.
Wang Peng saw him out, then turned back to his hotel room. Seeing Du Lei hesitate, he said, "Brother Lei, just say what you have to say."
Du Lei scratched his head and whispered, "Brother Peng, I don't recommend opening a branch in Ping'an County. The people in our county are too shameless. I'm afraid they'll rip you off."
Wang Peng was taken aback. Just then, his phone rang, and he answered the call.
“I am Li Keyong. I have already found out Chen Mengchang’s dormitory. The garment factory closes at eight o’clock in the evening. When should we make our move?” Li Keyong said in one breath.
Wang Peng was overjoyed, "Uncle, you're really efficient! We'll move at eight o'clock tonight. Wait for me at the factory gate."
At 7:50 p.m., he drove to Delong Garment Factory, where Li Keyong was standing by the roadside.
He opened the door and got into the car. Wang Peng gave him two pieces of bread, saying, "Uncle, you've worked hard. You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
“Men’s dormitory, room 505, I’ll take you there.” After saying that, Li Keyong immediately ate a big bite of bread.
Wang Peng drove to the gatehouse entrance, where two security guards arrived with flashlights. He immediately showed them his pass, and they opened the car door to let him through.
The car stopped downstairs in the men's dormitory building. Wang Peng went to room 505 and gently pushed open the door.
The stench of feet was overwhelming. There were eight people in the dormitory, all shirtless, and they all looked towards the door.
Chen Mengchang, wearing only his underwear, stared intently at Wang Peng, holding a pornographic magazine in his hand.
Wang Peng smiled slightly, "Chen Mengchang, do you recognize me?"
“I know him. He’s the owner of Brothers Supermarket in the provincial capital. Who wouldn’t know him?” Chen Mengchang put down his magazine and gave a cold smile. “You came really fast!”
Wang Peng put his hands in his pockets and said, "Put on your clothes, let's go outside and talk for a bit."
Chen Mengchang shook his head. "Sure, but don't even think about getting anything useful out of me."
