Chapter 107
Don't underestimate the power of women comrades. If you have some spare money and I don't, you will naturally feel unbalanced. What's more, this is the first time they have seen the products of Life Food Factory.
"Sister Liu, do you have that two-end cup?"
"What two-end cup? You mean that? I bought ten. I also have a 'blessing' gift box! Do you want to come to my house and take a look?"
There is another situation where some parents buy the drinks and give them to their children at home despite feeling sorry for the money. The children will go outside to show off while eating, and they can't be stopped even if they are called. This causes another group of children to come home crying and asking for two cups.
All working-class families love their children. The parents were so upset that they went out to ask around, and when they saw the product, they were surprised themselves.
On the mornings of the second and third days, the flow of people at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative was still normal, with only occasional people coming to ask about the products.
On the fourth day, as soon as the door opened, a group of women rushed in and asked, "I heard it's here, where is the blessing gift box?"
The salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative was confused by the squeeze, but he quickly realized, "You mean the products from the Life Food Factory?"
"Yes, yes, the one that brings blessings!" They couldn't wait.
"There are a few more." The saleswoman pointed to the location.
The sales clerks in the city's supply and marketing cooperatives often have a much better attitude than those in the county, because most of the people they face are employees or their families, and as sales clerks, their eyes cannot even reach above their foreheads.
As soon as the salesperson finished speaking, people rushed in, fearing that everything would be snatched away by others and there would be nothing left.
Five minutes later.
The supply and marketing cooperatives have already started a commotion.
"I got it."
"What's sold out? How can it be gone? How can I explain this to my children?"
“Ask your person in charge why the things disappeared so quickly.”
The salesperson smiled stiffly, "Sir, please calm down. I'll make arrangements right away."
One of the saleswomen with the longest tenure gave them a few words of advice and then ran to the warehouse.
Director Liu heard the hurried footsteps coming out and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Director, we don't have enough products from the Laifu Food Factory, and they're all here asking about the price."
"Fill in the twenty first." She picked up the cup and took a sip.
"It's all filled in, yesterday and today, but it's still not enough."
“All sold out”
"If they're sold out, we can always restock them if they're products from our city."
Director Liu's calm expression cracked a little. After confirming that it was sold out, she put down her cup and said, "I'll go look for the contract. I remember I have the contact information. I'll call Life Food Factory later."
The saleswoman nodded and ran out to explain. The thought of being chased by them and questioned made her scalp tingle.
At the Lai Fu Food Factory, Director Ren returned to the factory office today. He and Lu Qinbing split up into two groups.
Most of the people in the factory office were taken away by Secretary Lu, and the office was empty when he returned. Without any contact, both parties did not know the specific status of the contract signing.
Zhou Jun knocked on the door and came in, "Leader."
"Come in!" When he looked up and saw it was him, Director Ren's tired expression relaxed a little. "What's up? Secretary Lu called back."
Since he is not in the factory, some things can only be handed over to his old secretary.
Zhou Jun didn't deny it. "Secretary Lu said they've already negotiated a cooperation deal with the Qinyang City Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but he also said something."
"So fast?" Director Ren straightened up in surprise. "What are you talking about?"
I don’t know what ideas this kid has.
Zhou Jun recounted the story word for word, "Comrade Lu said we'll expand production in the next few days. But if they call, don't rush to agree to ship the goods. Just say we're still in emergency production. That way we can negotiate the price and put our factory in a favorable position."
"Advantageous position" Director Ren didn't understand for a moment. He was about to ask where Lu Qin was and he wanted to call him back.
The phone on his desk rang. For a moment he thought it was Lu Qin calling. He picked it up right away, "Lu Qin, what's up?"
Before he could finish his words, a strange voice came from the other side, "Hello, I'm from the Qinyang City Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Is your factory director here?"
Director Ren looked up at Zhou Jun and put his ear closer to the microphone. "Hello, comrade. I'm the person you're looking for."
Not knowing what the other party said, Director Ren responded twice.
"Yes, haha, okay, thank you for agreeing to cooperate with us."
When Zhou Jun heard this, he already knew who was on the other side.
The other end of the phone was still talking when Director Ren stopped and said, "You need to rush for the goods?"
He was about to agree when he suddenly remembered what Lu Qin had told him. "It's like this, Director Liu. Our factory is expediting production. We'll do our best to help you. Sorry for causing you any trouble."
"Ah, that's right."
After hanging up the phone, Director Ren instantly understood the reason. It was simply a matter of who held the initiative. Although the other party's tone was relatively calm, he also knew the current sales situation of their products. They were probably in a hurry.
He praised, "This kid is really amazing."
From the packaging post to the publicity department, and then to the factory office, just like a fish in water, it can swim freely anywhere. He has to find a way to retain people.
At this moment, Lu Qin's team had already arrived at the small county town in the next city. He turned around and sneezed.
Sister Zhang sighed, "This is the first time I've traveled so far. The scenery is really different from our Laiyang County. The pickled duck in Qinyang County is quite delicious. If I wasn't afraid of it going bad, I would have bought some to take back."
Coming down from the city, you can indeed see that the county is different from the city. The difference is visible to the naked eye, and the low buildings alone are the best evidence of this.
Lu Qin, carrying his briefcase, asked thoughtfully, "Sister Zhang, do you want to go home? We can go back after visiting two more houses."
I don’t know if Director Liu called back.
"There's no rush to go home. It's better to go out and travel while I'm still young." At home, I just take care of the children and cook. It's not as comfortable as being outside. It's tiring, but I can make money from this kind of tiredness.
"I brought a camera, so I'll take a few pictures for you later." Lu Qin turned his head and spoke to them with a smile.
He can quickly strike up a conversation with people of all ages.
"You brought a camera, so of course we have to take pictures. We'll pay for the film ourselves, and we don't have to spend the factory's money."
Seeing the head of the county supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Qin smiled and extended his hand, "Hello, comrade."
He began his deceptive behavior, "We are from Laiyang County Laifu Food Factory."
"Your name is quite unique." The person in charge had the same reaction as most people.
"Thank you for your compliment. I hope to bring good luck to everyone. Can I show you our products first?"
"It's just that we don't have much left. We just signed a contract with Director Liu from Qinyang City yesterday and delivered about 130 pieces. Then we went to the next county..."
When the head of the supply and marketing cooperative heard that the city supply and marketing cooperative had also cooperated, his impression of the products immediately improved. The products sold in the city were of a different quality than those sold in the county.
Lu Qin turned around and asked, "How are sales in the city?"
The factory manager understood his hint and said, "I just called this morning and they're all sold out."
After some persuasion.
The person in charge made a decision, "Let's do ten as well."
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
It only takes a meal. The main reason is that the transaction volume is small, the price paid is not high, and there is a leader in the front.
When Sister Zhang saw how quickly the transaction was completed, she felt a little regretful that she hadn't started performing yet.
Next, we visited several county supply and marketing cooperatives. The cooperation was both difficult and easy, but in order to make our name known and let our products occupy the market, the hard work was worth it.
They drove around in a big truck for about fifteen days, and only prepared to pack up and go back on the sixteenth day.
As for the signed contracts, they were all received by Lu Qin in his briefcase. This was the result of their work for nearly half a month.
The truck set off again. Having been away from home for so long, most people were homesick. The female colleagues from the factory office who were traveling with us stopped shouting about how good life was outside. Temporary interest and stability must eventually return to stability.
The female comrades from the factory office were sitting in the back carriage, which was equipped with bedding, mattresses and other supplies, while several male comrades were squeezed in the front.
When we were approaching Laiyang County, the road was much flatter. Perhaps because we were too busy and relaxed a bit, several comrades got carsick, so they had to stop to rest.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Qin leaped onto the passenger seat. With his hair messed up by the wind, he looked at the driver in the driver's seat. He felt a little itchy, "Comrade Cao Haijin, let me try driving later!"
The person sent by the Ministry of Transport was Cao Haijin, the girl he had acted as a matchmaker for at the first social gathering. Now he is together with Ma Laidi who works at the material feeding station. He also brought back a bag of wedding candy.
Cao Haijin was holding the steering wheel, looking surprised, "Comrade Lu, you can drive?"
"I had the opportunity to learn it a few years ago, and my skills are pretty good."
Driving may be a thing of the past life, but it has long been ingrained in him.
Two minutes later, Sister Zhang and her people were still walking on the grass when they heard the sound of a car starting, which scared them.
"How come the car has already left and we haven't even gotten on yet?"
"Xiao Cao, why did you come down?"
Cao Haijin slowly came back to his senses, "Comrade Lu was driving."
A group of people were surprised at once, "Xiao Lu can drive!"
The car in front of them whizzed forward, kicking up a cloud of dust and leaving behind its rear end.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
Cao Haijin ran forward a few steps and said, "Comrade Lu, you can't brake, right?"
“!!!!” Several female comrades supported each other and stood in place. Even the back of the car could not be seen at the end of the road.
But soon, two minutes later, their Secretary Lu calmly drove back and stopped in front of them. His handsome face peeked out of the window and said, "This car is easy to drive. Come on in."
Of course it is easy to drive. The car is their treasure and they polish it to a shine every day.
Several people looked at each other and said, "Comrade Lu, you should get off and let Master Cao drive! We still have a long way to go."
Lu Qin waved his hand. "It's okay, just get on board. It's perfectly safe. If you're really worried, let Comrade Cao Haijin sit in the passenger seat."
He, Lu Qin, has always been reliable.
So next, the 'novice driver' drove them back to Laiyang County.
Maybe they were really afraid that he couldn't drive, so those who were prone to motion sickness stopped feeling dizzy throughout the journey and just held on to whatever they could.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon that day, Mr. Huang was guarding the door when he heard a rumbling sound.
There are only five vehicles in the Life Food Factory, and Mr. Huang could tell with his eyes closed that this was a car from their factory.
He walked out with his hands behind his back, took a look, then walked over and opened the door to the other side of the vehicle passage that was rarely opened.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Qin stuck his head out of the window and said, "Master, we're back."
Mr. Huang's expression was originally impassive, but in that instant, his face changed like the weather. "It's Lu Qin! Why are you back so late? Come in quickly! Director Ren hasn't finished get off work yet."
"Okay, we'll go in first."
Lu Qin shrank back, started the car and drove inside.
Several men who squeezed in to sit at the front said they had never seen Mr. Huang smile so happily in all their years of work. They thought that a good-looking face would make people smile.
After getting out of the car, Lu Qin patted Cao Haijin on the shoulder and said, "Thank you."
He finally got his fill.
Cao Haijin smiled and said no, Lu Qin drove quite steadily along the way. He saw him want to speed up several times, but he seemed to hold back.
"Oh, my back hurts, I'm finally back."
"That's right, go back to work quickly, I still like sitting in the office."
Without even packing their things, they walked towards the factory office in a dusty manner.
Lu Qin was carrying the results of many days' work in his hands, and the members of the small team followed behind him.
One moment, Director Ren was mentioning when they would return, and the next, he saw them. The problem was, the scene of their return startled him.
Regardless of the situation, he scanned their faces, all radiating fatigue, yet their eyes gleamed with light. He suddenly had a clue.
Lu Qin reported to him, "Director, we have completed our tasks. The signed contracts are all here, with their contact information on them."
"It's all done." The factory office was still open, and someone couldn't help but ask back.
"Yes, if the road wasn't so difficult, we could have come back two days earlier," Sister Zhang affirmed.
Director Ren opened his briefcase and took out a small stack of cooperation agreements with a not-so-calm mood.
The author has something to say:
I'm going to skip a chapter tonight. I'm so sleepy. I'll run away first. There are 26 red envelopes for this chapter.
