Chapter 377: Money and Honor
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Zhu Daolin drove to the printing company on time, today is the first day of the company's Spring Festival holiday, most of the employees have returned home to celebrate the Spring Festival, only three or three on duty and management personnel left.
Zhu Daolin parked the Ford SUV in the empty parking space in front of the new office building, closed the door, climbed the stairs, and came to the general manager's office at the east end of the second floor.
Liang Cheng's seat was facing the door of the office, and when he saw Zhu Daolin coming in, he ordered Lu Jianmin to move a chair over, and then pushed the five shining badges on the desktop in front of Zhu Daolin:
"You see, the physical effect is even better than the pattern we designed before, and 30,000 brass medallions with this simple pattern have been made and sent to the conference room downstairs along with two sets of molds......
"However, the manufacturing cost of these three military medals is very high, so you can only make a set of samples for you to see first, and if you are satisfied, you must pay 50% of the payment first...... My old classmate had just started his career and didn't have that much money to buy 5 kilograms of 18k gold and hundreds of kilograms of silver. ”
Zhu Daolin picked up the brass battle medal, looked at the military emblem wrapped in a half circle of rice ears on the front, and then turned the back to inspect the "Dengzhou Battle Chronicle. Chongzhen's fifth year and December", smiled and asked in a low voice: "Your old classmate has no objections, right?" ”
Liang Cheng rolled his eyes angrily, and said flatly: "I almost didn't die of laughter from him......"
"If it's just one or two plays, it's nothing, who knows if you do 30,000, I explained for a long time, he still thought I was teasing him, and finally I pulled him directly to the bank and transferred the payment for 30,000 medals and three other samples to his account. He asked me again and again if I really wanted to do it. ”
"After so many tosses, I have been wondering for more than a week, am I going crazy like you?"
Everyone laughed, and Lu Jianmin said with deep understanding after laughing: "Two months ago, when I went to Shanghai Metal Craft Products Company to customize a small wine jug, I also made a lot of jokes because of the inscription. ”
"I had a lot of words. Falsely claiming that it was a simulated souvenir customized for the Great Voyage online game, people believed my nonsense and agreed to carve the name of the Ming Empire Army, the Ming Empire Navy and the Chongzhen year name as required. ”
Everyone smiled again, and all looked at Zhu Daolin, waiting for his explanation.
Zhu Daolin didn't have the slightest meaning to explain, picked up the three gold, silver and bronze military medals imitated from the August 1st Medal, looked at it carefully, and was very satisfied with the Great Wall and the Ming Dynasty military emblem pattern and exquisite manufacturing process, and finally picked up the round badge with stainless steel texture. Repeatedly looking at the gears and artillery patterns on the front, he said his decision to Liang Cheng:
"The three medals look very good, just produce according to this standard, the Arabic numeral number on the back must not be messy, the payment can be paid at any time, and there is no problem in paying the full amount in advance."
"I don't need to make this stainless steel badge with a diameter of 2.5 centimeters, just help me get two sets of stamping dies, and I'll take them and let them make them themselves."
Liang Cheng also wanted to ask a few more questions. But seeing Zhu Daolin's solemn face, he had no choice but to agree.
Chu Mei also wanted to ask Zhu Daolin. Why spend huge sums of money on the manufacture of these military medals and insignia, which do not seem to have the slightest use? But she wouldn't ask in front of outsiders, she knew that Zhu Daolin must have his reasons for doing this.
Zhu Daolin chatted with Liang Cheng and Liu Jianmin for a while, and made an appointment for the two families to get together on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the location was set at Zhu Daolin's parents' house.
Lu Jianmin's wife has been pregnant for more than eight months, and it is very inconvenient to go up and down with a big belly, so the two decided not to go back to their hometown for the New Year for safety reasons. So he gladly accepted Zhu Daolin's invitation and promised to take his wife to Zhu Daolin's house on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings and drink two cups lively.
After discussing the big and small matters, Zhu Daolin instructed Lu Jianmin to send the 30,000 medals and two sets of molds placed downstairs in the company to his Heshan villa, and then drove back to his parents' house with Chu Mei.
Chu Mei parked her white Audi sedan. got into Zhu Daolin's Ford off-road vehicle and went out shopping to buy New Year's goods.
The car drove out of the gate of the community, and Zhu Daolin asked gently, "When are you going to leave?" ”
Chu Mei looked at Zhu Daolin affectionately: "I want to drive back tomorrow, spend the New Year with my grandmother and parents, and come back on the third day of junior high school...... You can't run around, and I'll feel lonely if I don't see you when I come back. ”
Zhu Daolin glanced at Chu Mei, who was affectionate: "Don't be in a hurry to come back on the third day of the Lunar New Year, I will go to Longquan to greet your grandmother and parents, and we will drive back together on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year." ”
"Really?" Chu Mei was pleasantly surprised.
"On the third day of the Lunar New Year, you can wait for me at home, let your uncle take out the best wine, I like the Longquan soju he brewed, it feels much better than Yanghe Daqu." Zhu Daolin said with a smile.
Chu Mei clenched her fists excitedly and waved vigorously: "We won't buy anything, will we go home?" I've bought enough stuff, and I just want to stay with you quietly and talk to you right now. ”
Zhu Daolin agreed without much thought, turned around at the intersection ahead, and returned home along the road with Chu Mei with a happy face.
At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhu Daolin and his parents carried large bags and small bags and stuffed them into Chu Mei's carriage one by one.
Zhu Daolin's mother took Chu Mei's hand and repeatedly told him to pay attention to safety, Zhu Daolin walked to the two Longquan girls who went back with Chu Mei and greeted them politely, and told them to remember to remind Chu Mei not to rush away, there are many service areas on the highway from Jinling to Longquan, if you are tired, you can enter the service area to rest, and you can get home before dark.
After sending Chu Mei away, Zhu Daolin told his parents to go home for dinner in the evening, and then drove to the city to buy two decent gifts and send them to the big pharmacy run by Professor Li and his in-laws.
Professor Li and the two were very happy to see Zhu Daolin, and warmly greeted the second floor to make tea and hand out cigarettes, telling Zhu Daolin that the specially designed and customized pharmaceutical equipment had been completed a week ago, and after strict quality inspection, each set of equipment was prepared in accordance with Zhu Daolin's requirements to prepare an instruction manual, with detailed installation and commissioning procedures.
If Zhu Daolin needs it, he can notify the two production plants today to transport all the machinery and equipment to the designated location.
Zhu Daolin didn't have time to deal with this batch of equipment for the time being, and asked if he could transport the machinery and equipment to the warehouse in the northern suburbs of Qixia after the Spring Festival?
After receiving a positive reply, Zhu Daolin joked that he couldn't owe debts for the New Year, reconciled with the happy Professor Li, and then went to the bank to settle the payment together.
