Chapter 156
Lu Qin simply wanted to chat with Section Chief Zhou and Xu Youzhi. The things that the factory office staff were worried about would not happen at all, so he had a relaxed attitude.
Zhou Jun had been called by Director Ren to attend a meeting some time ago. He roughly knew that the incident was caused by Lu Qin, but he did not expect him to appear in front of them so soon.
"I'm back to see you. Chief Zhou, please take me in for a few nights." A big smiling face appeared in front of them.
Section Chief Zhou: “…”
So, half an hour later, Lu Qin left his luggage at Section Chief Zhou's factory-run dormitory. Section Chief Zhou and Xu Youzhi even took Lu Qin to a state-owned restaurant for a meal. Lu Qin couldn't help but miss the master's cooking skills.
After eating and drinking his fill, he sauntered to the supply and marketing cooperative, a toothpick in his mouth, and chatted with Zhu Hong and the others. When he came out, his hands were busy.
Zhou Jun glanced at it and said, "Whatever you bought, I have new toiletries in my dormitory."
"Ah." Lu Qin picked up the bag. "No, I saw some Deli products at the supply and marketing cooperative. I wanted to try some."
This thing can't be bought elsewhere.
Zhou Jun paused and looked at him suspiciously. Lu Qin didn't even open the box after buying it.
After Lu Qin had a comfortable night's rest, the meeting continued the next day.
Lu Qin brought a product survey form from Jia City to the table, along with a few cookies he'd asked his sister to buy. They were all the same product, but the places of production were different on the back of the packaging.
After seeing the real thing, the hesitation in everyone's mind seemed to become more firm.
Lu Qin continued, his tone puzzled, "By the way, these are Deli's biscuits. Why are they so similar to our products?"
Deli is the second-largest food product in the province, and in this era, there's no trademark or patent protection. But within two months, Lu Qin was surprised by how quickly others jumped on the bandwagon, even though he'd anticipated imitations when designing the new product.
When it comes to Deli, everyone feels angry.
Looking at the exterior design, Lu Qin took two more bites and felt that the taste was similar.
The crunching sound was quite obvious. Lu Qin ate all the food to avoid wasting it. Seeing that they were all looking at him, he held up the bag and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Director Ren came over to interrupt him, "Okay, let's continue the meeting and summarize."
Lu Qin had no choice but to give up persuading him.
At the beginning of the meeting, Director Ren gave a summary. "As Lao Gao said yesterday, our factory's supply volume just happens to meet the needs of the major supply and marketing cooperatives in the province. This is true. Given our current situation, our factory's position is relatively stable. As for our decision to expand and strengthen the factory, I think most people will agree. One day, we want to become nationally famous, and with the pressure from the latter to profit, we feel a sense of urgency. However, you should all have your own considerations about where to open a branch factory."
Lu Qin stared at the water cup on the table motionlessly, his eyebrows raised slightly. It seemed that something he didn't know might have happened after he left yesterday.
In a nutshell, their current factory should indeed develop to a higher level, but where that higher direction is is another question.
"Do you have any opinions on what I said earlier?"
The opposing deputy director remained silent for some reason. Director Ren's expression was unclear.
"So what are your considerations for building a branch factory in Ningchuan City?"
As soon as Director Ren finished speaking, someone raised their hand and said, "Leader, I have a question. Of course, our branch factory is not saying that we will follow Secretary Lu's lead, but besides learning from the practices of the Jiashi factory, do you have any other reasons that can convince us?"
The products of Chiayi City are now on the table, clearly visible.
Lu Qin raised his head and looked at the person who had spoken. He was sitting next to the deputy director. He turned to Director Ren and asked, "Then let me give you my personal opinion."
Director Ren nodded, not knowing what else he could say.
Lu Qin straightened his back. "Let me share my humble thoughts. First and foremost, Ningchuan City is close to us. It's in the neighboring province. Of course, you might say that Sanhe Province is surrounded by four provinces, so we could choose another province. Then I have to explain two points. The first is that Ningchuan City has young talents from Laiyang County. Those educated youth and students are willing to help us. This alone will ensure a quick approval. The second is, as I mentioned before, we can learn from the development path of the Jiashi factory. And of course, the last point is that it has extremely convenient transportation. A transportation hub connects to the four-way railway..."
Goodness me, the fact that it was so easy to pass the audit alone left them speechless. The audits from above weren't so easy to pass. After all, their local factory had been carefully considered by the higher-ups to meet the needs of the province.
If the review fails, then everything else is just empty talk.
Director Ren glanced at the young man out of the corner of his eye and suddenly wondered if Lu Qin had already planned the branch factory, which was why so many college entrance exam candidates went to the area near Ningchuan City. But how could that be possible? He couldn't have planned it in advance, and those candidates couldn't all listen to him. Director Ren quickly pulled himself out of his thoughts.
Lu Qin finished his words quickly. "These are my considerations. If there are other aspects, you can add them. I'm still young and don't think things through thoroughly. Of course, as I said before, if you're really afraid of failure, you can let Deli Factory give it a try. But if they succeed, I can't guarantee it."
The mention of the Deli factory had a psychological reaction, and the Deli cookies were clearly visible on the table, stimulating them. At critical moments, a sense of collective honor is indispensable.
As soon as he sat down, everyone looked at Director Ren.
Director Ren's face twitched. "If you still have any opinions, you can continue to raise them."
Some people just feel uncomfortable but can't say anything.
The deputy director in a gray jacket, who probably hadn't changed his clothes yesterday, raised a crucial question: "If the branch factory is successfully established, who will be the director?"
"Although Ningchuan City is close to Laiyang County, being independent is better than being a thug under the king," said the branch factory director. "This topic is very sensitive and touches on interests."
Lu Qin blinked, and unlike the others who looked at him, he looked directly at Director Ren.
Then a phenomenon appeared in the conference room. More than a dozen pairs of eyes were looking at the young man on the diagonal side, and the young man was looking at the middle-aged man in the main seat.
"Ah," Lu Qin seemed to have just realized. He pointed at himself, saying he didn't know either. "You should ask the leader."
His attitude showed no sign of jealousy or concern for the position.
Deputy Director Zhao, who was standing opposite him, put down his cup and interrupted Director Ren before asking, "How did that factory in Jia City do before?"
Since I want to learn from them, I don’t mind learning a little more.
Meeting Deputy Director Zhao's gaze, Lu Qin clearly felt that he was being biased towards him. He had to admit that the old leader was a good person.
"I'm not sure about this. It should be that those who are capable should be given more work. The director of their branch factory must live in Ningchuan permanently, and the time starts from the establishment of the factory." Lu Qin woke them up.
His words revealed a reality that everyone can imagine. Leaving the factory means starting from scratch. From construction to completion, it will definitely take more than a year or two to complete. The risk that comes with it is that if they leave the original factory, their original positions will definitely be replaced. What if the branch factory does not develop as expected?
It's easy for people to think of the bad side first, and this bad side is enough to make them hesitate. And their current state is quite stable.
So, apart from the young people who want to work hard, and those who are confident enough or have foresight, the others who were originally tempted began to hesitate again.
Perhaps the weather in Laiyang County warmed up too quickly, and he became thirsty quickly. Lu Qin slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
Director Ren knocked on the table and said, "We'll talk about these things later. You can vote then. Now I want to ask, without considering the subsequent issues, do you all have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads or remained motionless, and no one raised any substantive objections.
"Okay, let's move on to the next step."
