Chapter 693: The counselor from Suicheng's words were filled with worry about losing outstanding students.
In this year, a good seedling is a very important resource for the department.
Lu Qingyang understood the counselor's feelings. He smiled and said calmly and firmly, "Counselor, don't worry. I have already declined Professor Chen's offer."
"Rejected... Rejected?" The counselor was stunned for a moment, then his face instantly turned from gloomy to bright, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He even patted Lu Qingyang's arm excitedly, "Well done, Qingyang, I knew you weren't that foolish. That's great. It's better for you to stay in the Physics Department. Our department will definitely not treat you unfairly. If you have any difficulties or needs, just tell us."
As if afraid that Lu Qingyang would go back on his word, he repeatedly assured her, "The department will definitely pay more attention to your studies in the future. If there are any good project learning opportunities, you will definitely be given priority. Just stay in the Physics Department, study hard, and bring honor to our department."
Lu Qingyang was a little overwhelmed by the counselor's enthusiasm and could only nod repeatedly: "Thank you, counselor, I will try my best."
"Okay, okay!" The counselor was satisfied and gave a few more instructions before leaving briskly. It seemed that he was in a hurry to report this "good news" to the department leaders.
Lu Qingyang looked at the counselor's receding back and smiled helplessly.
It seems that all the benefits brought by this "blockbuster" are good things. At least the attention has increased sharply.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class. Lu Qingyang packed up his books and was about to go to the restaurant with Zhao Rui, but was stopped by a hurried academic administrator.
"Student Lu Qingyang, wait a minute, the Academic Affairs Office has a long-distance call for you. It's quite urgent. They say it's from Suicheng."
"Suicheng?" Lu Qingyang felt a little surprised.
He immediately said to Zhao Rui: "You go first, I'll go answer a phone call."
I picked up the receiver of the old-fashioned phone and heard Zhou Fang's voice.
"Qingyang, it's me, Zhou Fang. I hope I didn't disturb your class." Zhou Fang's voice was filled with suppressed excitement.
"get out of class just ended, what's the hurry?" Lu Qingyang asked.
"Great news, really great news. Didn't you mention before that you'd like to buy the old factory next to ours, which has been vacant for a long time, to expand production? Perfect! You know that Second Textile Accessories Factory just two blocks away? They're doing well, but they can't hold on any longer, so they're closing down and liquidating! All those sewing machines, overlock machines, and other supporting equipment in their factory are going to be sold as second-hand goods at a low price!"
Zhou Fang grew increasingly excited as he spoke. "I asked someone to inquire about it, and the price is quite reasonable, much cheaper than buying from scattered channels. Moreover, the machines are quite new and well-maintained. The quantity is just enough to fill up the empty factory. This opportunity is so rare! Look... should we hurry and buy them?"
When Lu Qingyang heard this, his heart moved.
This is indeed good news.
Equipment is one of the biggest bottlenecks in expanding production. Being able to acquire a large number of relatively reliable equipment at a low price at one time can save a lot of money and time.
He almost subconsciously wanted to say, "If you think it's okay, then we can finalize it. You negotiate the price, and I'll transfer the money from here."
But the words were on his lips, and he swallowed them back.
This is not just a small business of selling a few pieces of clothing, but a major asset purchase that concerns the next step in the development of the factory.
The specific color of the equipment, model compatibility, whether there are any hidden faults, the difficulty of relocation and installation, and even whether the other party's factory has other debt disputes...
All of these require extremely careful evaluation. Although I trust Zhou Fang's ability, my own presence is ultimately safe enough.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyang immediately changed his mind and said decisively into the microphone: "This news is very important. You should stabilize the other party first. It happens that soon, the school is on vacation. Let's go to the site to check out the equipment. The specific operation will be discussed after I get it!"
Zhou Fang on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lu Qingyang to come in person, but then he felt at ease:
"You want to come over? That's great. It'll definitely be safer with you overseeing it. Okay, I'll find a way to deal with them right away and I'll definitely leave the equipment for you!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. See you in Suicheng." Lu Qingyang hung up the phone decisively.
The New Year holiday was only a few days long, and I spent almost all my time traveling to and from Guangzhou by train, leaving me no time to deal with my business.
Lu Qingyang immediately wanted to board the plane.
Nowadays, Beijing Airport does have flights to Guangzhou, and taking a plane is almost unimaginable for ordinary people.
Airline tickets are shockingly expensive, costing an average worker half a year's salary.
Moreover, there are strict level and reason restrictions for ticket purchases. Usually, only leading cadres on business trips or special emergencies and people with letters of introduction from their units can purchase tickets.
But he is the same.
Moreover, he said that his current wealth is enough to afford the high ticket price, and he has the connections to solve the ticket eligibility issue.
Without hesitation, he immediately contacted and inquired through special channels.
As luck would have it, there was a flight to Guangzhou that evening with available tickets. Time was running out, so he made a quick decision: "This is the only flight. Please reserve one for me."
Then, he called home and briefly told his mother Ding Panyun that he had to go to Guangzhou urgently for something and would be back in a few days so as not to worry his family.
Although Ding Panyun was puzzled as to why his son suddenly wanted to go on a business trip again, he knew that his son had his own ideas, so he just reminded him to be careful.
All that remains is to rush to the airport and go through the tedious and strict procedures.
When he finally sat in the slightly narrow seat of the old Soviet-made civilian airliner, it was already nighttime when he looked out the window.
The engines roared, the plane took off, and through the window, I could see the lights of Beijing city gradually shrinking and fading away.
There were very few passengers in the cabin, most of whom had serious expressions, wore tunic suits or cadre uniforms, and rarely talked to each other.
Lu Qingyang walked out of the temporary terminal carrying a simple luggage and saw Zhou Fang looking anxiously at the exit.
"Qingyang, here." Zhou Fang looked at him, a smile of surprise and relief instantly appeared on his face. He waved his arms and walked quickly towards him.
He had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"Zhou Fang, thank you for your hard work. You came to pick me up so late." Lu Qingyang took a few quick steps and shook hands with Zhou Fang.
"Oh, why are you saying all this? I feel relieved that you can come here so quickly."
Zhou Fang took the small bag from Lu Qingyang's hand, and said with excitement and apology, "This happened too suddenly. It's my fault for not knowing more about it in advance..."
"Opportunities wait for others. You did the right thing." Lu Qingyang interrupted his self-blame and went straight to the point.
"Come on, Lu, tell me in detail about the factory over there. What's the price they're offering? What equipment do they have? How's the condition of it?"
