Hong Yanwu finally held the hand of the director of "Aihua Garments".

The factory director’s name is Zeng Guixiang.

Although this person is not very old, he looks to be in his late thirties.

But there are thick calluses on my hands worn by farm tools.

His dark cheeks and wrinkles caused by 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 Director Zeng was now going through a period of evolutionary transformation from simplicity to vanity.

Not for anything else, just because the clothes he was wearing were simply a collection of contradictions.

His shirt fits him very well, and he wears a pair of high-heeled shoes, both imported.

But the lower body is a pair of synthetic fiber pants that are absolutely hairless, and there are two obvious bulges on the knees.

The color of the tie he is wearing is really exaggerated.

The large color pairing of yellow with purple patterns makes people look dizzy at first sight.

But it was **** meticulously, and there was even a gold tie clip on it.

In short, this is a very special temporary state during the period when our clothing manufacturing industry has just started.

As a producer in the clothing industry, Director Zeng even has poor taste in his own clothing.

But having said that, after all, this also shows that some of the consciousness of Director Zeng has begun to gradually awaken.

Because people like Director Wang, who is in charge of the office, are still stuck in the past, and there is no such "rustic fashion" yet.

There is no doubt that Director Zeng is already trying his best to integrate with "international standards" than he is, and at the same time he is also trying his best to break himself from the past forever.

Otherwise, why would he be so 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 about the matter, he repeatedly asked Hong Yanwu whether he had the ability to provide foreign exchange settlement.

Obviously, he has always been enjoying the sense of superiority brought to him by his current identity change.

I am also using my authority to experience the joy of being desired by others.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of his contact with Hong Yanwu and the others was actually to show off, not to reach any actual deal.

Hong Yanwu even speculated that perhaps the factory director was willing to see them despite his busy schedule just to reject their request openly.

Why do you say that?

This is not because Hong Yanwu's heart is too dark.

Because in fact, when he answered that he could pay the bill with foreign exchange certificates, Director Zeng was stunned for a time, and there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.

And when Hong Yanwu said that he needed a large amount of spot goods.

Director Zeng suddenly became excited again and even refused in a happy tone.

"Mr. Hong, this is impossible. Because now all the work in my factory is given to a company in Frankfurt, Germany. The Germans give very tight construction deadlines, and they often come to check the progress. Just now Their representative just left after seeing it. To be honest, our orders are already scheduled for a quarter later, and there is nothing I can do about it. , let’s go to another factory.”

The most important thing is that after Director Zeng said these words, he seemed to have enjoyed a great deal and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then he leaned on the chair and looked at Hong Yanwu and the others with a smile, as if he was waiting to appreciate the disappointment on their faces before saying goodbye and leaving.

To be honest, if it were someone else.

At this moment, Director Zeng has probably fulfilled his wish and left in anger.

If you are a bad-tempered person, you may even go out of your way to correct Director Zeng for mispronunciating "Frankfurt" before leaving, to embarrass him.

In fact, both "Achang" and "Dabao" looked dejected, feeling as if they had eaten a fly.

But Hong Yanwu didn't do this. Instead, he found an opportunity in Director Zeng.

Because this strange mentality of proving one's worth by disappointing others can only mean that Director Zeng has been suppressed for too long.

He has finally managed to get through it now, and his behavior is similar to that of a villain. Although it is annoying, it is purely natural. And there is often more dissatisfaction hidden behind it.

You must know that Hong Yanwu has a relatively dark theory about human nature because of his business experience in his previous life.

That is, if there is something shady in a person's heart, it is his greatest weakness.

As long as you get a handle on him, he will be at your mercy.

So instead of being angry, he took out two cigarettes from his bag to give to Director Zeng, and then asked to go to the workshop to take a look.

His good-tempered nature was very surprising, and both "Achang", "Dabao" and "Director Zeng" were stunned for a moment.

But as expected, the foreign characters for "Marlboro" and "Hilton" really dazzled Director Zeng's eyes.

He immediately changed his attitude, said "How embarrassed", and then stood up.

He led the three of them out of the factory director's office politely and walked downstairs.

This was exactly the reaction Hong Yanwu expected.

So he became a little more confident, deliberately changed the topic, and deliberately talked about something else with Director Zeng.

"Director Zeng, the efficiency of your factory is really good."

"Of course, we mainly rely on export orders. We are the only one in the town."

"Have you always been doing exporting work?"

"Yes, more than three years."

"Then you must all be extremely rich?"

"It's okay. If you make a batch and survive, the foreign trade unit will withhold some, and the commercial joint management committee will also keep some, as well as the town's water, electricity, sanitation, and management fees. And then you have to pay taxes. Finally, the workers will have to pay off some depreciation expenses, and the rest will be just so-so."

"Are you being humble? I think the factory is quite impressive. It's no worse than the state-owned factories in Huacheng City."

"Ah, you still have to have face. Foreigners attach great importance to the appearance of the factory. This is also my biggest contribution in the past three years. The original factory building was too dilapidated to see anyone. I just came here When I was working, I had to work in a small room that was leaky. ”

"Oh, I bet you were the one who brought this factory into this situation and turned it into a star enterprise. Then you are really a big contributor to this factory. The higher-ups must pay special attention to you, right? They didn't mention promoting you as a talent. Take care of more important work? ”

Hong Yanwu pretended to exaggerate his praise.

Director Zeng was naturally scratched.

Pretending to be modest, he said, "Where, to be honest, there is no one above, so it will be difficult to take another step. And the factory cannot do without me, so it is still difficult for others to communicate with foreign businessmen. I am satisfied. Just do your job right now and it will be great if you can double the size of the factory within three years.”

"Oh, then you are really a good factory director who is willing to do practical work. Reform requires people like you."

After Hong Yanwu finished stroking his hair for the last time, he suddenly changed the subject and asked a pointed question.

"How much money can you make in a month?"

Director Zeng felt a little guilty when talking about this, but he still told the truth.

"A hundred yuan, plus the bonus, it's probably two hundred yuan."

Hong Yanwu immediately pretended to be surprised.

"Are you kidding? No way? A star factory director like you?... No, no, you must be lying to me. I know the goods. Look at your tie clip, this shirt, and these leather shoes. None of them cost hundreds of dollars. Block? ”

Director Zeng quickly explained.

"Ah, you said this, I didn't buy this myself, it was given by customers. How can I afford it with my own income? To be honest, our income is higher than other factories, but compared to your private boss , then it’s not as good as too much. There’s no way around it, it’s more than enough than above…”

Hong Yanwu asked again.

"Then your family life is pretty good, right?"

Director Zeng’s tone was somewhat helpless.

"It's so-so. My wife has asthma and can't even farm, so she has to set up a small stall in the town. I have four children and an old mother. Fortunately, my salary is not bad, which is better than that of the whole family in the past. It all depends on the responsibility field, so it’s good.”

"What? You have four kids?"

"Yes, the older one is sixteen years old and the younger one is seven years old."

As people from the capital, "Hong Yanwu" and "Dabao" immediately exchanged an unnoticeable look of envy.

As a local, "Achang" had no reaction to this.
