Thinking the gatekeeper wouldn't believe him, the team leader, sitting on the tractor, lifted the cloth covering the basket of bean sprouts, revealing hundreds of bean sprouts inside.
The gatekeeper hadn't doubted it to begin with; he was just pleasantly surprised, and he was even happier after seeing the item.
"Oh my, we've been waiting for you for so long, you've finally arrived."
Our Director Li, Factory Director Ding, and even the head chef of the canteen have all come to ask me these past two days if I've seen you. I'm afraid that my old eyesight is failing me and I might have missed you.
"Hey, I didn't expect to see you guys today! Hurry up and drive the car in, I'll go get your help. Just drive to that building and wait for me, someone will be here soon!"
After the gatekeeper finished speaking, he moved the wooden block blocking the gate and ran away in a hurry.
As instructed, Wang Weiguo drove the car to the building and parked it. A short while later, he saw the security guard leading several people walking briskly over.
Zhao Cheng recognized Li Yirong, the logistics director who had signed the contract with him, and Ding Gui, the factory director, from afar and immediately went to greet them.
"Director Ding, Director Zhou, our first batch of goods has arrived. We've kept you waiting!"
Ding Gui shook hands with him, his face beaming.
"Comrade Zhao, you're too kind. The contract we signed states that delivery will be made every 10 days, and if you count the days, today is exactly the day."
These are our big guys from the factory. They've been craving your bean sprouts ever since they've eaten them. They wish they could have them every day, which is why they seemed a bit impatient. We hope you'll understand!
The captain got out of the car at this time, went over and shook hands with Director Ding. As for Li Yirong, who was a female comrade, he, like Zhao Cheng, chose to smile and nod in greeting.
"Director Ding, Director Li, you can't say that. So many people in our Hongshan Brigade are grateful to your company for providing us with this opportunity!"
As we were leaving, everyone saw us off for a long way, asking us to give them their regards. If circumstances allowed, we probably would have come to thank you all!
How could these people not know that this was just polite talk? But this kind of polite talk makes people feel flattered without feeling obsequious, and it makes them feel very comfortable.
Ding Gui and Li Yirong exchanged a glance, and finally Li Yirong stepped forward:
"Then my wife and I, on behalf of all the workers in the factory, accept the greetings from the elders and folks of Hongshan Brigade. We also hope that your side businesses will thrive and that everyone's lives will get better and better!"
At this point, everyone realized that Director Li and Factory Director Ding were actually husband and wife!
However, during their last meeting, Zhao Cheng mentioned that Li Yirong was a very capable woman, so even though they knew they were husband and wife, no one suspected that she had gotten her position through nepotism.
"Alright, then I'll take Director Ding and Director Li's good wishes with me!"
The bean sprouts are all here. We'll deliver these to you first. Would you two gentlemen like to take a look?
"No need to look, the quality from your place is good enough, just unload it, make sure it's weighed correctly!"
"..."
After successfully unloading the goods, Zhao Cheng also took two small bundles of bean sprouts, each weighing about one pound. He delivered one bundle to the factory manager's office and handed the other bundle to the old man at the gatehouse.
Naturally, he received a string of gratitude and goodwill in return.
The cotton mill probably set a good precedent, and the other two mills also went smoothly: unloading, settling accounts, delivering some bean sprouts, and then leaving.
The cotton mill sold 50 jin (25 catties) of cotton at a price of 5 cents, earning a total of 5 yuan. The other two factories sold 50 jin and 80 jin of cotton at a price of 5 cents and 5 li (0.55 yuan), earning a total of 7 yuan and 15 cents.
In total, the bean sprouts delivered this time cost 12.55 yuan.
