Accountant Liu asked, "Director Jiang, what is your booth's expected transaction volume for this afternoon?"
Jiang Zhiwei glanced at Yu Yao behind her and sighed slightly, "The afternoon's trading volume was better than the morning's, totaling 46,000 foreign exchange."
The other colleagues in the finance department were puzzled. "Isn't this a pretty good transaction volume? It's almost equal to the transaction volume of several previous years combined. What is Director Jiang sighing about? He should be happy."
“That’s true, I’m not worried about my own booth, I’m worried about Squad Leader Yu.” Jiang Zhiwei shook her head. “The factory has high hopes for the new workshop, and I specially arranged a prime location booth for Squad Leader Yu. Who knew the temporary entrance would be closed.”
"In the afternoon, we sell canned fruit and meat from the main factory. The Yelin brand canned goods are not well received by customers and sales are not good."
“If this continues, I’m worried that the factory will dismantle the new workshop and readjust the production line.”
At this point, she frowned, looking worried for Yu Yao, and asked, "Squad Leader Yu, I know that the sales of Coconut Grove brand canned goods were dismal this afternoon. Don't blame yourself too much; it's not your fault. It's just that Coconut Grove brand canned goods are too new, not unique enough, and lack competitiveness."
On the surface, Jiang Zhiwei was trying to comfort Yu Yao, but her words were actually a dig at Coconut Grove brand canned goods.
Is she trying to sabotage the factory after failing to seize power, and now she's trying to sabotage the new workshop?
Yu Yao naturally wouldn't let her have her way.
“I didn’t expect Director Jiang to be so worried about us, sigh,” Yu Yao said, feigning pitifulness. “I was also worried about this issue. Hearing what Director Jiang said, I suddenly thought of a way to increase the sales of Coconut Grove brand canned goods. Since Director Jiang is so worried about Coconut Grove brand canned goods, you will definitely agree, right?”
Upon hearing this, Accountant Liu and the others became very interested.
You see, the factory has been trying to upgrade its production line for years, but it has been hampered by a lack of funds and connections.
This time, Director Wang finally managed to snatch a production line from his superiors. If he can achieve good results, he will have sufficient grounds to persuade his superiors to help introduce more advanced machines.
Jiang Zhiwei had a bad feeling that Yu Yao's pitiful expression was a trap.
But the conversation has already reached this point.
In order to maintain her image at the head office, even knowing there was a trap, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer Yu Yao's questions.
"Since Squad Leader Yu has a solution, why don't you tell me? The new workshop is under my jurisdiction. We all share the same fate, so there's no need to be polite."
Yu Yao naturally knew that Jiang Zhiwei didn't mean it sincerely, but she didn't care. She said, "Director Jiang, your booth looks quite spacious. You could definitely set aside some space to promote Coconut Grove brand canned goods. How about we go next to your booth starting tomorrow?"
Jiang Zhiwei hadn't expected her to have this idea, and her face stiffened slightly: "This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Our booth is also cramped. If everyone is crammed together and making a lot of noise, it won't give our customers a good impression. Let's think about it more carefully."
At this moment, Accountant Liu, who had been listening nearby, suddenly slammed his hand on the table, looking excited.
"Director Jiang, this method is perfectly feasible. You forgot, there's a 1.5-meter-wide aisle next to your booth that no one walks through. If we apply to the organizing committee for it, wouldn't it be perfect to use it for Squad Leader Yu and the others?"
Another person added, "Accountant Liu is right. I think this method is feasible. Moving your booth in half a meter further in won't have much of an impact. It's two meters wide in total, which is enough for Squad Leader Yu and the others to use."
Jiang Zhiwei: "..."
Is she worried about the impact?
She was just looking for an excuse to reject Yu Yao, not asking them for advice!
Accountant Liu and her colleagues got more and more excited as they talked, and fearing that Director Jiang would disagree, they even blocked any way for her to refuse.
Yu Yao was practically dying of laughter, but she couldn't show it on her face. She had to pretend to be troubled and nodded repeatedly, "That's what I think too. We're all in the same workshop. We share the same fate. Director Jiang shouldn't refuse."
Accountant Liu even thoughtfully added, "Director Jiang, don't worry about applying to the organizing committee. The factory leaders will definitely agree to it."
Jiang Zhiwei forced a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Accountant Liu."
People in the finance department may not hold high positions in the factory, but they have considerable influence.
Jiang Zhiwei dared not offend her and could only suffer in silence, agreeing to move a spot in the booth for Yu Yao.
Jiang Zhiwei was rebuffed and looked at the innocent-looking Yu Yao, feeling displeased.
This person has a handsome face, but is actually a cunning and wicked person.
After several exchanges, she failed to gain the upper hand, which frustrated Jiang Zhiwei so much that she lost interest in listening to Yu Yao's report and left.
Naturally, they missed out on the intended transaction amount of Yu Yao and the others.
After she left, Accountant Liu routinely asked, "Squad Leader Yu, what is your intended transaction amount for this afternoon?"
Yu Yao said calmly, "It's a total of 68,000 foreign exchange."
"Sixty-eight thousand," Accountant Liu read aloud as she filled in the form, then suddenly realized something, her voice becoming somewhat shrill with excitement, "You mean sixty-eight thousand in foreign exchange? Not RMB?"
Someone nearby reminded her, "Sister Liu, the Canton Fair uses foreign exchange, not RMB."
"I know, I was just too surprised."
Accountant Liu asked Yu Yao, "What exactly is going on? Aren't your seats a bit too far back? Don't you have many customers? Director Jiang just said that the sales of Coconut Grove brand canned goods are dismal."
Yu Yao then told the finance department how they went out to attract and introduce customers to them.
Just thinking about the hardships and difficulties involved makes Accountant Liu and her colleagues feel immense pressure.
This method is something only Yu Yao and her group can implement. The language barrier alone is enough to stop many people, not to mention the difficulty of communicating fluently with foreign merchants and persuading them to make purchases.
After registering the intended transaction amounts for all the booths, Accountant Liu took the documents to Factory Director Wang to report.
"How was the first day?" Factory Manager Wang had been busy with the factory all day, barely managing a quick lunch, so he wasn't sure about the sales at the booth. "Did the new factory sell anything?"
Accountant Liu said with a smile, "Director Wang, the new factory has not only sold out, it has sold extremely well. On the first day alone, Squad Leader Yu and her team have already exceeded 100,000 foreign exchange."
This year, the factory is uncertain about the Yelin brand canned goods. After all, Yelin brand canned goods are a brand new product with no customer base. It is a question whether customers can even see it among all the canned goods.
His original expectation was that if he could trade 50,000 foreign exchange in a month, he would go to his old boss and beg for the machine.
Factory Director Wang never expected that the Coconut Grove brand canned goods would achieve such a breakthrough.
He said "good" several times in a row.
It was worth it for him arguing with those guys from Guangzhou until his saliva dried up, as he managed to snag two extra booths.
In retrospect, it all came at the right time.
"Accountant Liu, keep a close eye on the Coconut Grove brand canned goods. If Yu Yao and the others need any help, the factory will do its best to support them."
After Director Wang finished speaking, he went out, turned left, and went to find his old leader.
