Chapter 21: On Fire

Jiangcheng Textile Factory.

In the conference room, Zhou Fuguo looked at Li Ming with a serious face, and asked upright: "Director Li came to me early in the morning, is he ready to sign a contract with me?" ”

"Our factory is very satisfied with this batch of equipment, and there is no problem with the price, but our factory director wants to see all the equipment in person, so we have to trouble Director Zhou." Li Ming nodded.

Zhou Fuguo is also looking for buyers all over the world these days, but the textile mills in Jiangcheng don't need new equipment at all, even if he sells it so cheaply, no one is willing to bid.

It was precisely because he couldn't find a seller that Zhou Fuguo attached great importance to Li Ming, and when he heard that Li Ming's boss wanted to see all the equipment, he didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

"The equipment is in the factory, and I can take you to see it at any time."

Hearing Zhou Fuguo's words, Li Ming's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and he said hesitantly: "Director Zhou, our factory director doesn't like to deal with others, if you can, can you ...... Let's look at it individually? ”

Talking about business and not wanting to meet the seller......

Zhou Fuguo frowned slightly, it was the first time he had heard such an outrageous request.

He looked at Li Ming suspiciously, frowned and said: "These equipment are my life, my workers are waiting for me to use this money to pay wages and eat, if you accidentally break it, what should I do?" ”

"I'm sorry, your conditions are so outrageous that I can't agree."

was rejected by Zhou Fuguo without hesitation, Li Ming had already expected it in his heart, after all, his request was so outrageous that normal people would not agree......

But no matter how outrageous his request is, Li Ming must convince Zhou Fuguo, otherwise this business will really be impossible to negotiate!

"Director Zhou, don't be angry, let me introduce you to our factory director first."

Li Ming took out a newspaper from half a year ago, which said the introduction of Wanhe Textile Factory and Sun Qingqing, and also specially accompanied a photo of Sun Qingqing.

"This is the director of our factory."

"Although our factory director is very capable, he is really not good at talking, and even has resistance to strangers, so every time we talk about business, we are the ones who come forward."

"But this batch of equipment is too important to our factory, so our factory director will come to check the equipment in person, and ask Director Zhou to be accommodating. I can assure you that as long as there are no problems with the equipment, we will sign the contract on the spot! ”

The newspaper was prepared by Li Ming in advance, and as for saying that Sun Qingqing is not good at talking, it is naturally Li Ming's nonsense in order to make Zhou Fuguo promise himself.

This kind of lie is nothing in the business field, as long as it is not illegal and does not cross the line, no matter what happens in the process, it is not surprising in the business field, even if others know about it later, they will only say that the means are clever, and they will not hate it.

After all, all businessmen will use means when doing business, such as Sun Qingqing's preconceptions when talking about prices, and Zhou Fuguo's straightforwardness when selling equipment, these are all means......

Zhou Fuguo looked at the photo of Sun Qingqing in the newspaper, and he was a little hesitant at the moment when he was originally resolute.

Wanhe Textile Factory has a very good reputation in the circle, if it is really Wanhe Textile Factory that wants to buy these equipment, then he doesn't have to worry that Li Ming will secretly sabotage, even if Li Ming and Sun Qingqing are allowed to inspect the equipment alone, he is also 10,000 relieved.

So he said loosely: "If it is really Director Sun who comes in person, I can let you go to check the equipment alone, but I said ugly things in front, if you break my equipment, I will definitely let you go around without eating!" ”

Finally made sense of Zhou Fuguo, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and after he agreed a few times, he took out his mobile phone and called Sun Qingqing, asking her to come to Jiangcheng Textile Factory now.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ming and Zhou Fuguo talked again in the conference room, and Zhou Fuguo specially asked many things about Wanhe Textile Factory in order to verify Li Ming's identity.

But fortunately, Li Ming was prepared, learned about the information of Wanhe Textile Factory in advance, and answered Zhou Fuguo's questions fluently, completely dispelling Zhou Fuguo's suspicions about him.

In order to let Li Ming better take Sun Qingqing to check the equipment, Zhou Fuguo deliberately took Li Ming to the factory to see the equipment first, and also told Li Ming about the functions and characteristics of these equipment, but just when the two were chatting, a factory staff suddenly broke in.

"Oh no, factory director, the warehouse is on fire!"

Zhou Fuguo was taken aback when he heard this, his face became very ugly, and he didn't even care about Li Ming, so he ran directly to the burning factory with the staff.

Something like this happened suddenly, which caught Li Ming off guard, so he followed Zhou Fuguo's footsteps closely and came to the burning warehouse together.

Thick black smoke wafted out of the warehouse, dozens of workers were desperately trying to rescue the goods, including several women, who were not afraid of the fire inside, and rushed in with a wet towel tied to their faces.

The warehouse is full of unsalable cloth, which is full of tens of thousands of catties, so that the fire in the warehouse is getting bigger and bigger, the roof is burned down, and a steady stream of black smoke floats out, which can be seen clearly dozens of miles away.

"Don't go in, don't go in, everyone's safety is the most important, burn these goods if they are burned!"

Zhou Fuguo was blocking the entrance of the warehouse with his body, patting his thigh and shouting loudly to tell these workers not to go in again.

But these workers didn't take Zhou Fuguo's words seriously at all, no matter how Zhou Fuguo stopped them, they didn't want to rush inside, wanting to rescue more goods.

After a while, the fire truck had arrived at the scene, and the firefighters stopped all the workers outside the cordon, but just as they were about to spray water to put out the fire, a worker broke through the cordon and stopped them.

It was a man in his fifties with a large patch of gray hair, and he grabbed the fireman's arm and said:

"You can't spray water, it's all new cloth that we've worked so hard to produce, and if it's wet, it won't be sold at all!"

"Let's move a few more boxes, please!"

Zhou Fuguo saw that the firefighters were stopped, he hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Lao Wang, these cloths can't be sold in the first place, and it is only a matter of time before the factory closes down, so don't make trouble here!" ”

"If something happens to you, how am I going to give an account to my dead father?"

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, the firefighters asked Zhou Fuguo to forcibly pull the worker named Lao Wang away, and then directly opened the valve, and the water jets sprayed out, which suppressed the fire.

Looking at the black water flowing out of the warehouse, Lao Wang and all the workers were silent, they looked at the warehouse with their eyes in a daze, their eyes became extremely dim, and they completely lost their luster.

Li Ming watched quietly from the side, feeling familiar and helpless about this scene.

His father, who was also a laid-off worker, had the same look of despair and helplessness on his face as he and his uncles left the factory.

Although he was very sympathetic to these people in his heart, Li Ming was helpless, after all, he couldn't even take out 60,000 yuan now, so he couldn't help them at all.

Moreover, the Jiangcheng textile factory loses money every year, and bankruptcy is not necessarily a good thing, it is much better than not being able to pay wages all the time and letting them work in the factory.

Just when Li Ming was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the door of the factory, and when he saw this person's face clearly, a name suddenly blurted out.

"Wang Ergou!"
