After being reminded by Lu Shengnan, Xu An realized that the factory visit invited by Han Yuanping was somewhat different from visits to other industries.
In industries like home decoration customization, the invitations are usually to consumers. After visiting the factory, they are usually taken to the factory canteen for dinner, and some even only arrange afternoon tea. After the consumers visit the factory and pay the deposit, they are sent back.
However, invitations extended by companies like Han Yuanping's are usually to company owners or managers. After the factory tour, a banquet will definitely be arranged to show hospitality and provide a place for everyone to get to know each other.
Since it's a banquet, drinking is definitely an essential part of it.
As a result, Xu An's plan to drive there himself fell through. Just in case, he asked Uncle Dongliang to help him find a driver who kept his mouth shut so he could go with him.
Uncle Dongliang is indeed quite reliable. The driver he found is exceptionally tight-lipped. If the driver hadn't called out "boss" when they met and confirmed the destination again, Xu An would have suspected that the man was mute.
Because, for the entire next hour, the driver didn't utter a single word!
Even when Xu An tried to make conversation with him, all he got in return was a simple, honest smile that could only be seen in the rearview mirror.
Xinyang Shangchu Technology Co., Ltd. is located in the suburbs of Dongqing City, bordering the town. It covers a large area, and you can't see the end of the factory buildings from the entrance.
Han Yuanping had just finished exchanging pleasantries with the two guests when he turned around and saw Xu An walking towards him. He immediately greeted him warmly, "Mr. Xu, it's been a long time! I've heard about your store's many big moves lately. I heard you're going to build a factory in Qingyan Province?"
"Yes, it's just a small factory building, not even as big as your factory's main building!" Xu An said with a smile, shaking Han Yuanping's hand.
"Hey, this factory, no matter how big, belongs to the company. Your factory, no matter how small, is yours. It's not the same thing." After complimenting Xu An a few times, Han Yuanping lowered his voice mysteriously and asked, "Mr. Xu, I wonder if you've ordered the equipment for your factory yet?"
"The initial approval process for the factory hasn't been completed yet, and we'll have to wait for equipment procurement," Xu An said vaguely.
"Haha, Mr. Xu, you'd better take a good look around today. Our factory has recently developed a lot of new equipment, which is a perfect match for your business!" Han Yuanping said, then waved to a greeter to come forward: "This is Mr. Xu from Xu's Catering. Today, you will be in charge of showing Mr. Xu around our factory. You must give him a good introduction."
"Yes!" The greeter responded, then gestured for him to enter, and said with a standard smile, "Mr. Xu, this way please. Today I'll take you on a tour of Xinyang Shangchu Technology Co., Ltd.'s factory. You can just call me Xiao Hu."
Sitting on the sightseeing bus, Xu An glanced back and saw that after finishing his initial greetings, Han Yuanping had started a new round of small talk.
"Xiao Hu, do you know how many people we invited to visit the factory?" Xu An asked curiously, looking at the seven or eight sightseeing vehicles in front of him.
"A total of 120 people were invited. These people, like you, Mr. Xu, are all partners of our company and were specially invited to come to the factory to see the newly produced equipment." Xiao Hu's words not only answered Xu An's question but also gave Xu An a small compliment. He was indeed worthy of being chosen as a greeter.
Although he hasn't met the other visitors yet, just a quick glance along the way is enough for Xu An, with his years of experience as a corporate slave, to clearly distinguish who the leaders are and who the ordinary employees accompanying them are.
Most of the teams consisted of three to five people. Each team had one or two leaders walking at the front, while the others were responsible for carrying bags, taking photos, and recording information. It was clearly the style of a large company or enterprise.
There are others like Xu An who come alone, but not many, and among those who come alone, there are even fewer who are as young as Xu An.
Therefore, during the visit, Xu An would occasionally be subtly glanced at from head to toe.
"This is a newly developed commercial kitchen appliance that combines washing and cutting vegetables into one unit. It has eighteen different preset modes, suitable for processing 80% of the ingredients on the market. It can switch modes with one button and is simple and convenient to operate. It can process 16 kilograms of ingredients per minute, and can process 11.52 tons of ingredients in 24-hour operation."
This equipment is good, but it's a bit too expensive and takes up a lot of space.
"This is an electrically heated jacketed kettle with fully automatic stirring. It features non-stick properties, easy cleaning, and high permeability. It can cook 500 liters of food at a time and is suitable for making porridge, chili sauce, braising, jam, and stir-frying, among other things."
[What a pity! If this equipment had been released earlier, I would definitely have bought it. It has a capacity of 200 liters larger than the noodle buckets in my shop now.]
"This is a newly launched smart wok. It can preset menus and add or remove cooking steps according to needs. Simply pour the ingredients into the wok according to the process, and you can get delicious dishes. Under the precise control of the system, it can ensure the consistent taste of the dishes. It can cook 200 kilograms of food at a time."
This sounds good, looks alright, and isn't too expensive. I might as well buy a couple and try them out.
"This is a large-scale integrated production, processing, and packaging line. It can vacuum-pack one hundred packages of products per minute."

After receiving Han Yuanping's invitation, Xu An researched relevant information about Xinyang Shangchu Technology Co., Ltd. online and gained a general idea of the factory's scale, etc.
