Chapter 86
Look at the groom who is still worrying about work.
Lu Qin released his hand from his shoulder, cleared his throat, and turned back to business. "You came to me because you trust me. To be honest, our factory's production and export purchase orders have increased accordingly this year. With so many buyers, the price has naturally dropped."
You have to eat the rice from the bowl of your own factory, so naturally you have to speak for the products of your own factory.
He stood up straight. "Comrade Wu, I'm not sure about the specific price because I work in the Propaganda Department. But don't worry, I'll go ask for you when I get back and try to make it as convenient as possible for you."
Nothing is final.
Wu Ming thought for a moment, "It's less than two weeks until Mid-Autumn Festival. I'd like to trouble Comrade Lu to ask. Just do your best. I'll treat you to a meal then."
Lu Qin smiled. "Why are you being so polite? I know you're anxious. My sister's previous job depended on the commune director to provide her with opportunities to meet him. Besides, you're my friend. Don't worry too much. I'll help you. Go inside and keep her company. Don't chat with me, a lonely man."
Wu Ming's temper makes it rare for him to speak at length.
As the topic changed, I suddenly found the feeling of being together in the past.
Wu Ming felt relieved.
Because he was teased, his ears turned red, and he casually mentioned something, "Xiao Qing just asked me to ask you about this for her friend. Do you have any ideas in this regard?"
It took Lu Qin three seconds to realize who Xiao Qing was. He declined, "No, I'm not in a hurry. I'll have to wait until I'm as old as you before I consider it. I need to focus on work first."
Wu Ming was just asking, having already guessed his answer. "Okay."
His face was there, there was no rush at all.
Lu Qin waved his hand and urged him, "We've been chatting for a long time. Comrade Qin and I have to go back too. You should go with your partner."
When they left, they each carried a bag of festive red-skinned peanuts, and did not mention the leftovers from the wedding that only close relatives could take away.
We hurried all the way and returned to Laiyang County an hour and a half later.
Lu Qin took a deep breath as the autumn wind blew. The harvest season was different.
He stopped to hold onto his bicycle, looking at the low houses on both sides. "It's getting late. Comrade Qin, you should go back first. I'll go back to the factory."
Do what you promised as early as possible.
Qin Shi had already slowed down her pace, took the bag of peanuts from the handlebars, and hung it on his bike. She curled her lips and said, "Take it back for your family. I have more at home."
“Hey.”
"Let's go." Qin Shi pedaled the bicycle in two or three steps and waved his hand to signal.
Lu Qin looked at the peanuts on the handlebars and had no choice but to take them with him, but he went to the post office to get the letter first.
Several colleagues in the Publicity Department were surprised to see him, after all, he had taken a day off.
But Lu Qin came in, drank some water, took a small portion of the bag of peanuts, and left with the remaining half.
He went to the factory office, combed his hair, and walked in with his chest held high and his head held high as if he was familiar with the place.
There were two young men waiting in line at the door for the factory office to do something. They were not surprised to see Lu Qin come in. Although they were young and came late, they both knew that Comrade Lu was very famous in their factory and heard that he could go anywhere in the factory.
"Comrades, would you like to try some of the red-skinned peanuts we brought back from the wedding banquet to share in the good cheer? If you want to eat, take them yourself."
He put the peanuts on the table at the door and told them to take them if they wanted to.
Director Ren has been moving around the production, technology, and transportation departments lately and is rarely seen.
The person Lu Qin could contact was naturally Comrade Zhou Jun. Comrade Zhou's understanding of factory policies was no less than that of Director Ren. After all, he was the secretary, so many documents had to pass through his hands.
Not long after Zhou Jun came back, he loosened the iron clamp and pulled out a stack of documents.
He saw his figure with his sharp eyes, "Just came back"
Lu Qin glanced at the documents on his desk, most of which were review documents that needed signatures. "I went to the Propaganda Department right after I came to the factory. I have something I want to consult you about. Comrade Zhou, are you free?"
When talking to smart people, you must not be too roundabout.
Having said that, Zhou Jun had no choice but to put down what he was doing, give him ten minutes, and signal him that he could speak.
Lu Qin got straight to the point, leaning against the table. "Isn't it Mid-Autumn Festival soon? I heard that many companies want to purchase our cookie gift boxes. I'd like to ask about the specific policies, mainly the price. It's nothing special, just a discussion first."
Zhou Jun didn't know what he was planning. He'd been busy with this recently, so he had nothing to hide. "The policy hasn't changed much. Our initial regulations are that for the price you mentioned, purchases of 40 or more boxes will have one price, and purchases of 100 or more boxes will have another price. When ordering 100 or more boxes, we'll deduct 1 cent for each box over 40, and so on..."
For them, the preferential treatment offered is already very generous, and they also have to consider the factory's profits.
Lu Qin followed up the question and asked, "The prerequisite is that the quantity must be reached, right? What if there are less than forty?"
I wonder if the number of people working in the commune can even gather forty boxes. Isn't this all in vain?
"Then you have to pay the original price, but we'll give you one or two extra boxes depending on the situation."
In the current context, Lu Qin thinks it is reasonable, after all, the costs and profits are there, but, "that's it."
Zhou Jun rubbed his brows, not knowing what his tone meant. He said to him seriously, "Originally, we didn't want to take any orders below 40. We can let them buy directly from the supply and marketing cooperative. After all, it's not much cheaper. What's the matter, Comrade Lu, do you have other ideas?"
He simply closed the materials in his hand and gave him a few more minutes, pretending to be willing to listen. He needed to consider the original intention of his question today.
It had to be said that Zhou Jun's attitude made him feel very comfortable. Lu Qin raised an eyebrow and simply sat down opposite him. "It's not a strange idea."
It was no longer just a matter of fighting for the welfare of Comrade Wu Ming. It was a good opportunity for the two of them to discuss it.
"We all attach great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm thinking about whether the factory should try to get some coupons and vouchers, and print them with the special Mid-Autumn Festival coupons of the Life Food Factory, and treat it as an event, so that they can get cookies with the coupons. I heard that an advanced unit in the city has been doing this kind of event for a long time, and we can learn from them. Moreover, the coupons can be made now and given directly to those who need them. They can also promote it and get a position as the first to take the lead in the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits. After all, some things rely on novelty. Of course, the specific arrangements are up to you."
Zhou Jun stroked the rim of the cup with one hand. He had never considered the number of people. "I have heard of it. I will consider it when the time comes."
He has a quick mind and reads the newspaper every day, so he can quickly figure out the key points.
Lu Qin remembered his intention and told him clearly, "If you apply for the coupons by then, please save some for me, about thirty or so."
Even if there were no such things, he found a way to get Comrade Wu Ming to work together with other units with smaller numbers to reach 40 boxes. All the solutions were thought up by people.
Zhou Jun raised his eyebrows, finally understanding his intention. "Okay, let me take a look at your Mid-Autumn Festival activities. Do you have any ideas?"
Lu Qin: Whatever ideas you have, just come up with them on the spot.
"My colleagues in the Propaganda Department are still making arrangements, including a chorus and recitation." It's a fixed annual program and cannot be changed.
Zhou Jun smiled and said, "The comrades in the factory have been busy for more than half a year. You should work harder. I am also looking forward to it."
Lu Qin could tell that he hadn't finished speaking.
"Then if you have any ideas, you can give me some suggestions." He climbed up the pole at the same time.
Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "At least you have to give a performance, show what you are good at. I believe many people in the factory are looking forward to it."
Lu Qin stood up and walked away from the table. "Don't forget, I'm not the only famous young man in the factory."
Whether it was the Mid-Autumn Festival or any other holiday event, if they hadn't asked for help, they might not have been able to get everyone together. According to Section Chief Zhao, their publicity department also had to put on a program. It was obvious that he was in the running.
He just looked at him after he finished speaking.
Zhou Jun: “…”
I didn't get to see the fun and almost got myself involved.
The corner of his lips twitched, "I was just kidding you."
Lu Qin: I'm not kidding you.
His expression showed this. How could he let go of the head that was finally delivered to him?
After Lu Qin left, Zhou Jun calmed down and took out the previously discussed plan, carefully considering the feasibility of Lu Qin's suggestion. First, they had to consider which one had the largest profit margin. Coupons didn't reveal the profit margin on the surface, but these were flexible and adjustable. Furthermore, compared to the former, the latter seemed to be more likely to enhance the reputation of their Laifu Food Factory. Previously, no factory in Laiyang County had ever demonstrated this.
He felt that this person had a very flexible mind.
Lu Qin returned to the Propaganda Department and missed Section Chief Zhao, which resulted in Section Chief Zhao's idea of holding a meeting never being put into practice and had to be postponed until the next day.
The time for the factory's three-year promotion has arrived. According to the voting procedure, votes and performance and ability account for 30% and 70% respectively, which is very fair.
The news came unexpectedly.
It should be said that no one expected Section Chief Zhao to strive for the position of deputy director. The factory has one director and two deputies. The news is also very tight.
What everyone cares about more is who will be the next head of the Propaganda Department.
Section Chief Zhao apologized. "I'm not sure if this will work out. If it does, the factory will probably make arrangements for the next head of the Publicity Department, and a new head will be sent over by then. I just want you to be mentally prepared."
Because the time for promotion evaluation has not yet arrived, he cannot publicize it widely to avoid being caught at a critical moment, so he dares to say it now.
He continued, "Of course, the people the factory ultimately appoints must have been through a lot of trials. You don't have to worry. All we have to do now is rehearse for the upcoming noontime performance. After all, we have less than two weeks left, and we still need to recruit people from various factories."
After finishing his long speech, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. It can be said that he had a clear idea in his mind.
Several people looked at each other, as they had been together for many years and had developed feelings for each other. Although Section Chief Zhao was sometimes serious, he followed the specific regulations. He would give credit to whoever had made the contribution, and he would never take credit for anything.
I don’t know who will be the next one.
Lu Qin sensed everyone's feelings and understood them. To be honest, he hadn't been willing to part with Section Chief Zhao for half a year, mainly because he was easy to talk to and a leader with both good character and work ability.
It was obvious that the word "safe" was written on Section Chief Zhao's face.
Senior officials Niu and Liu have more say than Lu Qin.
Secretary Niu is concerned about one thing: "Where was the new section chief elected from?"
Section Chief Zhao said, "Don't worry about this. I will give them some suggestions when the time comes."
Secretary Niu and Secretary Liu looked at each other and sighed. It is inevitable that people will strive for higher positions.
Section Chief Zhao had a smile on his face. Didn't their attitude indicate their approval of him?
He quickly turned to business, "Okay, everyone, don't forget to arrange the Mid-Autumn Festival program first."
