214 Resource exchange?

The printing factory was originally a subsidiary of the base and did not pursue efficiency. It served the base first and only accepted external orders when it had surplus labor. The leaders had also told them to fully cooperate with Su Taotao's work.

Su Taotao didn't have to make this trip in person, but she not only came in person, but also brought products for them to taste. The old factory manager was so pleased that he repeatedly assured them that he would cooperate with their factory's production work and would never lag behind.

After trying the coconut candy, Director Chen was full of praise: "It's delicious. I have bad teeth, but it tastes especially good."

Su Taotao suddenly asked, "Director Chen, have you ordered the Mid-Autumn Festival and year-end benefits?"

Director Chen nodded and said, "Just the same things as in previous years, mooncakes, rice, oil, etc. After all, these are the most practical."

Director Chen is a pragmatic person who cares deeply about his employees and is well-respected by everyone.

Su Taotao smiled and said, "That's a pity. I was originally planning to make a resource exchange with Director Chen."

After all, Director Chen is quite old, so his reaction is naturally not as flexible as that of young people: "Resource exchange?"

Seeing that Su Taotao was drinking tea, Xiao Lu said, "Our Director Su originally wanted to ask Director Chen if we need coconut candy as a benefit for our employees. If so, we can exchange coconut candy for packaging bags with you, which can save a lot of steps."

Su Taotao nodded and said, "That's what I mean. But since the order has been placed, we won't force it. If Director Chen needs anything next year, he can contact us in advance. We won't bother Director Chen and will go back first."

Director Chen took another bite of the coconut candy. Doesn’t this candy taste much more delicious than mooncakes?

Mooncakes can still be distributed, and an extra bag of candy can be given as a welfare benefit to give the workers a surprise, which may make them work more enthusiastically.

"Director Su, please stay. Yes, I can, but I don't have many workers here. If I give everyone a bag of coconut candy to try during the Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't this order too small?"

Su Taotao waved her hands and said, "No, no, big orders or small orders, they are all good orders for us. We are grateful for your patronage of our business."

Su Taotao had actually stood up and was ready to leave, but now she sat down again, moved closer to the table, and said mysteriously to the old factory manager:

"I'm going to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. During the mid-year conference, didn't the leader ask me to go to the capital to promote the product? You didn't go to the capital for the meeting this time. You'll know when you go.

The flavors of our coconut candies are displayed here. There is no similar product on the market yet, and we cannot even fulfill the orders from our sister companies.

I am mainly worried that the factory will not be able to come up with so much working capital if we expand our production capacity all at once, and we will be embarrassed to hold you back on your payment for the goods, so I came up with this idea. I hope you will forgive me, Director Chen."

When Director Chen heard this, he looked at Su Taotao's frank eyes with a little more admiration.

"Director Su is really young and promising. I admire you very much. How about this, if you really have problems with capital turnover in the future, I can extend the payment deadline until after the holidays.

Your factory's products have off-season and peak seasons. For example, sales are always better during festivals such as Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year. There should be no problem in collecting payments, right?"

Su Taotao was waiting for him to say this. This time, she took the initiative to reach out her hand and gently shook hands with Director Chen:

"Thank you, Director Chen, for your support. Don't worry, this may not happen. I am just taking precautions to avoid asking you for a delivery date if something really happens. It would seem that I am insincere.

Although we are all subsidiaries of the base, brothers still have to settle accounts clearly, isn't that right?"

Director Chen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's right. Although Director Su is young, he is very reliable and will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Su Taotao smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words. I won't waste your precious time. I'll leave first."

Director Chen wanted to stand up and see the guests off.

Su Taotao stopped him: "Please stay. Don't be so polite to others."

Director Chen looked at Su Taotao's back. He had heard some bad rumors about her some time ago, but what he saw was not what he heard.

Only when I personally met this female comrade did I know that she became the factory director based on her own strength and that she was always thinking about the factory. Those people were looking at her with tinted glasses.

Director Chen thought of something and made a phone call, which was quickly connected:

"Hello, Lao Deng, it's me, Lao Chen."

…

"Look, didn't you say a while ago that you wanted to switch to your original candy supplier?"

…

"Yes, yes, yes. I have a very good factory here that I want to introduce to you. Although they are still in the initial stage, I guarantee that they are reliable."

…

"I have a sample here. You'll know after you try it after get off work. I'll tell you in detail then..."

…

Su Taotao certainly didn't know that Director Chen was helping her to attract business.

I finished three things in the morning and it's already past one o'clock.

She took Xiao Lu to find a nearby hotel. After filling their stomachs with a bowl of noodles, they prepared to pick up Fu Yuanhang.

When Su Taotao arrived, they had already had lunch. Mr. Tang was probably taking a nap and was not in the living room.

Fu Yuanhang doesn't have the habit of taking a lunch break and is still practicing hard.

Old Wu accompanied him while sewing clothes.

Seeing Su Taotao coming so early, Old Wu was a little surprised and stood up to greet her.

Su Taotao smiled and waved her hand, motioning him to sit down.

Fu Yuanhang also thought that Su Taotao would not arrive until three or four o'clock. Seeing her coming at this time, he asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"

Su Taotao nodded and whispered, "I've eaten. I have to go back today. I have something else to do in the factory this afternoon. I'll take the bus back on Sunday."

Fu Yuanhang nodded: "The teacher is taking a lunch break, I'll leave a note for him."

Fu Yuanhang wrote a note and handed it to Old Wu: "Grandpa Wu, let's go back first and come back on Sunday."

Old Wu could understand lip reading and held Fu Yuanhang's hand with "uh uh uh".

Fu Yuanhang followed him and turned to Su Taotao and said, "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment."

Su Taotao: "Okay."

After a while, Fu Yuanhang came out helplessly holding a big watermelon:

"Grandpa Wu left it for us, so we must take it back."

Su Taotao was stunned for a moment, then she smiled, touched Fu Yuanhang's head and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Wu?"

Fu Yuanhang: "Thank you, I gave him money but he refused to take it."

Su Taotao said: "It's okay, we'll bring him some delicious food next time."

After Su Taotao finished speaking, she walked over to Lao Wu, looked him in the eyes sincerely and said with a smile:

"Thank you. We'll take it away. See you on Sunday."

Old Wu understood what was going on. He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, nodded continuously, and insisted on seeing them to the door.

After getting in the car, Xiao Lu was still driving, while Su Taotao and Fu Yuanhang sat in the back seat.

"If we don't take such a big watermelon, Teacher Tang and Grandpa Wu won't be able to finish it, and they will have to give it to their neighbors. It's okay to keep it, it's just a matter of reciprocity.

By the way, isn’t your birthday on Saturday? I’ll make you a cake then, and another one on Sunday. Bring it over for them to try.”

In fact, Fu Yuanhang looks forward to his birthday every year.

In previous years when Fu Yuanhang had his birthday, Zhou Linglan would get up early to make him a bowl of "longevity noodles" with a poached egg so that he could go to school with a full stomach.

That was also the happiest time of the year for him, even happier than the Chinese New Year.

The happiness of the New Year belongs to everyone, but the happiness of a birthday belongs to him alone.

Su Taotao was thinking about his birthday, and that feeling of happiness came up again.

He smiled and nodded: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Su Taotao touched his head again: "We are a family, why should we be polite to each other?"

Fu Yuanhang nodded, then shook his head, but said nothing more.

I just followed Chenchen's example, went to the window, looked at the seagulls flying freely, and smiled shyly.
