"Hang the banner higher. Why is that flag crooked? There is a leaf at the corner. Go and clean it! Hong Kong's boss will be arriving soon. He is a foreign guest, and we must welcome him well. This will not only affect our company's image. It will also affect the City and even the Provincial Government's image. You must take this seriously! Factory … … no, General Manager, do you think this arrangement is okay? "
Li Mingde looked at the factory and nodded: "Yes. Is the canteen ready?"
"Yes. We had prepared a lot of wild animals. I guarantee that even Hong Kong's boss had not tried them before!"
"Good. This is a success. You, as the Office Director, had contributed a lot!"
Beep, beep ~ ~ ~
A black car appeared at the entrance of the factory. The exterior of the car was majestic, and there was a flying goddess logo on the front of the car. Many people felt that this car looked luxurious, but they had never seen the logo before. It was not a Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Golden Deer.
The car stopped, and the driver alighted. He opened the back door and placed one hand on the roof.
A man wearing a black trench coat, a bowler hat, white scarf, shiny leather shoes, and dressed like Xu Wenqiang stepped out of the car.
"Who is Manager Li Mingde?"
Li Mingde quickly walked over and shook that man's right hand: "I am Li Mingde from Bing City Machinery Company. I welcome Hong Kong's Mr. Fu to invest in this company."
"I am here for inspection. I have not decided to invest yet." Fu Guangzheng emphasized. Li Mingde felt uncomfortable hearing Fu Guangzheng's poor Mandarin, but he had to put on a smile.
This car was a second-hand Rolls Royce. It was Feng Yu's personal car, and he had lent it to him temporarily. The chauffeur was brought by Fu Guangzheng. He was an experienced Chinese chauffeur from Guangdong, and he could help translate for him.
Feng Yu had told him that the higher the status of this investment, the more effective it would be. Do not show that you are in a hurry to invest. The more you are not in a hurry, the lesser the resistance you will face, and the conditions will be better.
Li Mingde's attire today was fine in the South. But this was the Northeast, and it was still November. The temperature was below -10 degrees Celsius. When he stepped out of the car, he shivered. If he knew this would happen, he would have worn an extra layer of clothing. He also swore to himself that he will never come to Bing City again in the winter. The temperature was too high!
"It's the same, it's all the same. After the inspection, it's still an investment. Mr. Fu, please come in. I will bring you around our factory. The Soviet Union's most advanced production equipment, the most advanced technologies, and the guidance of experts. This is the best in China. "Li Mingde said enthusiastically.
Fu Guangzheng nodded slightly and strolled into the factory. He looked like he was casually looking around, but in fact, he was looking at the factory intently. He wanted to know what this factory looked like.
It was different from what he had imagined. The factory was very big and very clean. He saw the banner hanging above the gate of the factory and the colorful flags on both sides of the road. He knew that the factory had been specially cleaned to welcome him.
Fu Guangzheng was not interested in these empty promises. As long as Feng Yu did not lie to him and this factory really had the advanced machinery and technologies from the Soviet Union, then he will surely invest in it.
"Mr. Fu, look. This is the newly assembled equipment. The whole workshop is equipped with CNC machines. It can produce engines and some advanced bearings. The workers over there are producing. The noise is low and the efficiency is high. It is definitely the best in China! "
Fu Guangzheng nodded. The noise was much lower than what he expected. The workshop was also very spacious, and the factory was very big. Hong Kong did not have such a big factory as it was not an industrial city.
Fu Guangzheng even saw a foreigner from the Soviet Union giving guidance to the workers. Was this the Soviet Union's mechanical expert that Feng Yu mentioned?
"Mr. Fu, these are the finished products. The quality is 100% and there are no defective products … …"
Fu Guangzheng was not interested in these. He only knew that the factory had advanced machinery and technologies. The inspection was over. But he still had to show his attitude. He must visit the factory for at least an hour in the afternoon to show how much he valued this inspection. But he cannot stay for too long, or else it will make him look like he is in a hurry to invest.
Also, the smell in the factory was not good. Fu Guangzheng used a handkerchief to cover his nose and mouth. As for the finished products that Li Mingde passed to him, Fu Guangzheng did not even touch them. They were all oily and you want me to touch them with my hands?
Fu Guangzheng was a clean freak and had to shower at least twice a day. His hands had to be washed at least 7 to 8 times. It was hard to wash off the oil on his hands. Even if he washed his hands, the smell might not be removed. If Fu Guangzheng was stained with oil, he would not be able to eat or sleep.
But now, he could not leave. This made Fu Guangzheng very frustrated.
The more Li Mingde talked, the more excited he got. He saw the Hong Kong businessman nodding his head non-stop. This meant that he was very satisfied with the factory.
The Office Director whispered into Li Mingde's ear: "General Manager, the Hong Kong businessman had been covering his nose and mouth with a handkerchief. Is it because he can't stand the smell in the workshop? Why don't we invite him to our office for a tour of our honor room? "
Li Mingde looked at the office, and it was true. Visiting the honor room was not a bad idea. The company's predecessor was the Machinery Factory and had won more than a dozen awards. These awards should increase the interest of the Hong Kong businessman.
"Mr. Fu, do you still want to tour the workshops? Why don't you come to our office? There are some historical awards of our factory there. "
Fu Guangzheng quickly nodded: "I also want to take a look."
After entering the office building, Fu Guangzheng kept the handkerchief in his pocket. He could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Li Mingde started to introduce the awards that the company's predecessor, the Machinery Factory, had received. Some of the awards were given by the City Government, and some were given by the Provincial Government. There were also the national awards given by the Ministry of Machinery.
Li Mingde had a proud look on his face when he was talking about these awards. Although many of the awards were not received during his tenure, he acted as if these awards would not exist without him.
After talking for more than half an hour, Li Mingde was still not done. Fu Guangzheng finally got impatient and interrupted Li Mingde: "Manager Li, can I take a look at the company's financial situation?"
Li Mingde's heart skipped a beat. The company's financial situation might not be a mess, but it was not transparent. Especially during the restructuring, the fixed assets were evaluated too high. If Feng Yu could tell, this Hong Kong businessman might also be able to tell.
"Our company's financial situation is very good, and we have sufficient funds. The fixed assets are the factory's premises, facilities, and technologies. You don't need to look at these, right? "
"It's like this. These fixed assets are worth quite a lot, right? If I am to invest, I should have some say in the financial situation, right? "Fu Guangzheng casually said.
"Of course. This is a shareholding company, and any shareholder can look at the financial situation. Our other shareholder had sent a financial representative to the company. Mr. Fu, after you invest, you can also send a representative to the company!" Li Mingde gritted his teeth and said.
Damn, this Hong Kong businessman also wants to talk about the company's financial situation? But this time, Fu Guangzheng must be allowed to invest. If the City still does not return the money, his position in the leaders' hearts will be shaken!
