Chapter 585: The fabric is stuck
On Monday, the garment factory held a general meeting. After the meeting, Chen Qing set an example by going to the broadcasting room and reading documents to show her determination to make progress in her thinking!!!
Chen Qing took the document printed out by the typewriter, adjusted his breath, and spoke in a sonorous and vigorous voice: "Comrades, good morning!
A new week has begun, and we have once again gathered at our battle posts to promote revolution and boost production.
First of all, I would like to convey to you the latest instructions from our superiors.
First: We must deeply comprehend the spirit of the document, unify our thinking, and raise our awareness..."
The workers felt more motivated to work after listening to the factory director's high-spirited voice.
Chen Qing read for half an hour, and when she finished, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Secretary Zhang applauded her and said, "Director, you are also an excellent announcer. You have a nice voice and speak very standardly."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Chen Qing clasped his fists in gratitude.
But she was so focused that she felt tired.
She can talk incessantly for an hour in the conference room without getting tired, but it is not easy to read boring documents with emotion.
Chen Qing walked back to the office and slumped down in his chair.
Knock knock knock——
Chen Qing sat up straight: "Come in."
Qin Qiuhe, director of the logistics department, reported, "Director, based on the requirements for the new sportswear, I've spoken with the fabric factory. They've learned that they won't be able to provide as much of the high-quality cotton-polyester blended fabric we need next year."
Chen Qing frowned.
Qin Qiuhe added, "Most of the supplies have been reserved by others. This isn't just a problem in our province, it's a problem across the country."
Chen Qing made a direct call to the director of the fabric factory.
Director Wang said, "This fabric is already in short supply. Maybe seeing how well you can make clothes with it at the Canton Fair, you're following suit... Director Chen, given our relationship, I can't possibly withhold the fabric from you. The figure we gave your logistics director is already our limit, and we've even offended a bunch of people over this. Please don't push me. If you really want more fabric, I suggest you talk to Director Geng Qi."
He said this.
Chen Qing's path was completely blocked.
Chen Qing had no idea.
I had to hang up the phone.
She told Qin Qiuhe not to rush, and went directly to the Light Industry Bureau to find Qi Yuanchao in the afternoon.
Qi Yuanchao said, "Director Chen, I usually don't care about this matter, but your factory has the most high-quality approvals."
Chen Qing raised his eyelids: "So, there is no room for negotiation?"
Qi Yuanchao leaned back, his arms casually crossed. "Director Chen, I can't break the rules, can I?"
Chen Qing looked at him with indifference in her eyes. She stood up without any expression, but when she looked down at him, she looked down with a natural arrogance: "Of course, you are the leader, and everything you say is right."
When their eyes met, Secretary Zhang felt as if the air was full of sparks. He really felt the tremendous pressure in this tense atmosphere.
Chen Qing turned and left.
Secretary Zhang followed closely behind: "Director, shall we go back to the garment factory?"
"Go to the foreign trade company."
"good."
Secretary Zhang took the order.
The manager of the foreign trade company is Xu Yongkang. The two of them even had dinner together. It’s funny to say that it was Qi Yuanchao who introduced them.
When Xu Yongkang heard that Chen Qing had arrived, he immediately went out to greet him: "Director Chen, thank you for coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."
"No, no, I'm sorry to bother you so much, Manager Xu." Chen Qing smiled and sat down in front of him.
Secretary Zhang was by his side, and after Manager Xu poured the first cup of tea, he took the initiative to pour tea.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business.
Chen Qing asked Xu Yongkang, "Does Manager Xu know where I can get some fabric? Even from outside sources will do, as long as we can source it."
Xu Yongkang frowned. "Fabrics that are in short supply domestically will probably be more expensive if we buy them from abroad. Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure at the moment. Could you please help me check the price?"
"Okay, I'll help you check it out." Xu Yongkang agreed. He and Chen Qing were originally interested parties, so there was naturally no reason for him to kick someone when he was down.
Chen Qing was extremely grateful.
Xu Yongkang said: "I will give you an answer in the next two days."
"Okay, thank you, Manager Xu. Thank you for your help." Chen Qing thanked him again and again and left.
Secretary Zhang asked, "Director, where are we going this time?"
"bank."
"good."
After arriving at the bank, Chen Qing was personally received by President Sun.
Chen Qing got straight to the point: "President Sun, our Shengxia Sportswear Factory is short of money. Can we borrow a short-term loan? I will repay the money as soon as the subsequent funds flow back."
President Sun was very fond of the garment factory with good performance, but when faced with Chen Qing's loan, he hesitated and said, "Director Chen, it's not that I don't support it, but the credit policy has been tightened recently, and your factory's situation...some people have reported that you are expanding too quickly and have no stable way to make money. The risk is a bit high."
Secretary Zhang felt a pang of anxiety when he heard this.
It is unclear whether the fabric can be obtained, but the bank’s refusal to lend money has blocked the path to obtaining the fabric.
Chen Qing's eyes turned cold, but the corners of his mouth remained raised. "President Sun may not understand, but our garment factory is divided into two sections: one for generating revenue, and the other for guaranteeing a minimum income."
President Sun listened quietly.
Chen Qing then elaborated, "The bottom line is that we make clothes for Mr. Marcus. This is a steady stream of orders, because our garment factory was built with his investment. Even if he wants to give up our garment factory, it is impossible for him to give up in the past few years, so our garment factory has a stable income."
"this……"
"President Sun, I won't embarrass you, and I hope you won't embarrass me either."
Chen Qing smiled.
President Sun was too embarrassed to look at her. Chen Qing was so young, but the pressure she exerted was too strong. "Director Chen, it's really not that I don't want to. I really like your sportswear. It's really a policy issue. I can't make the decision."
Secretary Zhang sounded a little desperate.
Chen Qing smiled faintly: "Then I'm sorry to bother you this time, President Sun. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
"Of course, of course."
President Sun respectfully escorted Chen Qing out the door.
Secretary Zhang didn't dare to say a word. In such a closed space inside the car, he was afraid that the factory director would suddenly attack and kill him!
He has recently been catching up on important meetings at the garment factory, one of which concerns the future of the factory.
The focus of the garment factory definitely does not rely on Marcus alone!
During the meeting, the factory director and the workers didn’t even mention the guaranteed income, which meant everyone understood that if a garment factory wanted to prosper, it had to rely on earning foreign exchange!!!
Now the foreign exchange earning has not been done yet, and the fabric needed to earn foreign exchange is gone.
Chen Qing closed his eyes: "Go back to the factory."
"yes."
Secretary Zhang drives the car.
He drove a little slowly.
I was afraid that the bumps would make Chen Qing uncomfortable.
Chen Qing looked at the scenery passing by outside the car window and rubbed his temples tiredly.
