Chapter 123: Frank Fork
Hong Yanwu finally held the hand of the director of "Aihua Garment".
The factory director's name is Zeng Guixiang.
Although this person is not very old, he looks like he is thirty-four or five years old.
But there are thick calluses on his hands that have been worn out by farm tools.
His dark cheeks and the wrinkles of the wind and frost also show that he was once a farmer who worked with the land all year round.
And Hong Yanwu knew at a glance that this former factory director was now experiencing a period of evolution and transformation from simplicity to vanity.
If nothing else, just because the clothes he wears are simply a collection of contradictions.
His shirt fits well, and he has a pair of high-heeled caps on his feet, all of which are imported.
But the lower body is a pair of absolutely hairless chemical fiber pants, and two large bulges are obviously arched on the knees.
and the tie he was wearing, the color was really exaggerated.
The large pair of yellow and purple patterns makes people look dazzled.
But it was meticulously tied, and even a gold tie clip was pinned.
In short, this is a very special temporary state in the period when our garment manufacturing industry is just getting started.
As a producer in the garment industry, Director Zeng even has a bad taste in his own clothes.
But having said that, after all, this also shows that some of the consciousness of this former factory director has begun to gradually awaken.
Because Director Wang, who is in charge of the office, is still stuck in the past, and there is no such "rustic fashion".
There is no doubt that compared to him, Director Zeng is already trying his best to "connect with international standards", and at the same time, he is also trying his best to break with the past forever.
Otherwise, why would he be complacent in front of Hong Yanwu and others, repeatedly emphasizing that the quality, efficiency and management of "Aihua" products have been fully recognized by foreign businessmen?
Even before talking, he repeatedly asked Hong Yanwu whether he had the ability to provide foreign exchange settlement.
Obviously, he has always enjoyed the sense of superiority that his current status change has brought him.
It is also the power in his hand to experience the pleasure of being asked for by others.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of his contact with Hong Yanwu was actually to show off, not to reach any actual deal.
Hong Yanwu even speculated that perhaps the factory director was willing to meet them in his busy schedule in order to refuse their request in a grand manner.
Why?
It's not that Hong Yanwu's heart is too dark.
Because in fact, when he replied that he could pay the bill with foreign exchange coupons, Director Zeng was stunned for a while, and there was a loss in his eyes.
And when Hong Yanwu said that a large amount of spot requirements are needed.
Director Zeng suddenly became excited again, and even refused in a happy tone.
"Mr. Hong, this can't be. Because now all the work in my factory is for a company in Frankfork, Germany. The Germans gave a very tight deadline, and they often came to check the progress, and just now their representatives just left after seeing it. Truth be told, we've been on the order schedule for a quarter. Within a month, it was even more arranged. I can't help it. You can't wait, let's go to another factory. ”
The most important thing is that after saying this, Director Zeng seemed to have been greatly enjoyed, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he leaned back in his chair and looked at Hong Yanwu and them with a smile, as if he was waiting to admire the disappointed look on their faces, as if he had said goodbye and left.
To be honest, if you want to change to someone else.
At this moment, most of them have gone as the factory director Zeng wished.
If you have a bad temper, you may even make a point out of the problem that the factory director Zeng said "Frankfurt" wrong before leaving, so as to embarrass him.
In fact, "Ah Chang" and "Dabao" also looked dejected and felt like they had eaten a fly.
But Hong Yanwu just didn't do this, but he found an opportunity from Director Zeng.
Because this strange psychology of proving one's own value by disappointing others can only show that Director Zeng has been suppressed for too long.
He has finally survived now, and this kind of performance similar to villain's ambition is annoying, but it is purely natural. And there is often more dissatisfaction hidden behind it.
You must know that because of his business experience in his previous life, Hong Yanwu has mastered a relatively dark theory in his grasp of human nature.
That is, if there is no light in a person's heart, it is the biggest weakness.
As long as you grasp him in this regard, he will be at your command.
So instead of getting angry, he took out two cigarettes from his bag to give to Director Zeng, and then proposed to go to the workshop to have a look.
His goodness was very surprising, whether it was "Ah Chang", "Dabao", or "Director Zeng" were stunned for a moment.
But as expected, the foreign words "Marlboro" and "Hilton" did dazzle the eyes of the factory director.
He suddenly changed his attitude, saying "what a shame", and then stood up.
More politely, he walked out of the factory director's office with the three of them and walked downstairs.
This is exactly the reaction that Hong Yanwu was expecting.
So he was a little more determined, so he deliberately diverted the topic and deliberately chatted with Director Zeng about something else.
"Director Zeng, the benefits of your factory are really good. ”
"Of course, it mainly depends on export orders. We're the only ones in town. ”
"Have you been doing export work all the time?"
"yes, it's been more than three years. ”
"Then you must all be rich?"
"Fortunately, to survive a batch, the foreign trade unit will have to withhold some, the commercial joint management committee will also keep some, as well as the town's water, electricity, sanitation, and management fees. After paying taxes, workers still have to pay. The factory also has to get rid of some depreciation expenses, and the rest is so-so. ”
"Are you modest? I think the factory is quite magnificent. It's no worse than the state-owned factories in the flower city. ”
"Ah, there is always a face, and foreigners attach great importance to the appearance of the factory. This is my biggest contribution in the past three years. The old factory was so dilapidated that I couldn't see anyone, and when I first arrived, I had to work in a small room that leaked wind and rain. ”
"Yo, dare to love this factory is you who single-handedly got this situation and became a star enterprise, then you are really a great hero of this factory. The above must have paid special attention to you, right? Didn't you say that you were promoted to take care of more important work?"
Hong Yanwu pretended to exaggerate the praise.
Director Zeng was naturally scratched to the itch.
Pretending to be modest, he said, "Where, to be honest, there is no one up there, and it is difficult to take another step." Moreover, the factory is inseparable from me, and it is still a little difficult for others to communicate with foreign businessmen. I'm content and do my job well. Within three years, it would be nice to double the size of the factory. ”
"Yo, then you're a good factory manager who is willing to do the actual work. Reform requires people like you. ”
Hong Yanwu finished finishing the last handful, and suddenly changed the conversation and asked a sharp question.
"How much money do you make a month?"
Speaking of this, Director Zeng was a little weak-hearted, but he still said it truthfully.
"A hundred dollars, plus the bonus, it's two hundred. ”
Hong Yanwu immediately pretended to be surprised.
"Are you kidding? Aren't you? A star factory director like you?...... No, no, no, you must be lying to me. I know the goods, look at your tie clip, this shirt, this leather shoes, which one is not a few hundred yuan?"
Director Zeng hurriedly explained.
"Ah, you said this, I didn't buy it myself, it was all sent by the customer. Where can I afford it with my own income? To be honest, we have a higher income than other factories, but it is much worse than your private bosses. There's no way around it. It's more than the top and the bottom......"
Hong Yanwu asked again.
"Then your life at home is still good, right?"
Director Zeng's tone was somewhat helpless.
"So-so. My wife had asthma and couldn't even grow the land, so she had to set up a small stall in the town. I have four small children and an elderly mother. Fortunately, my salary is okay, which is better than in the past when the whole family relied on the responsibility field. ”
"What? You have four children?"
"Yes, the eldest is sixteen years old, and the youngest is seven years old. ”
"Hong Yanwu" and "Dabao", as people from the capital, suddenly exchanged an imperceptible envious look with each other.
And "Ah Chang", as a local, did not react to this.
The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
