Back in the factory, Jia Yapeng picked up his paintbrush and was about to draw a new Water Margin hero card to prepare for the second issue of the card when he received a piece of bad news. President Wang had been arrested by the police.
"What!" Jia Yapeng's paintbrush trembled, and the half-finished picture was ruined.
If it had been another President Wang who had been arrested, Jia Yapeng wouldn't have bothered to listen. But this President Wang had been arrested, and he was in big trouble.
President Wang was the boss in charge of printing the packaging bags and hero cards. The last batch of Water Margin hero cards had almost been used up, and Jia Yapeng had been urging him to hurry up with the delivery yesterday. Otherwise, the production would have to stop. Now that President Wang had been arrested, wouldn't that be big trouble?
Where would Jia Yapeng find a factory that could print cards for him in such a short time? The crispy noodle snacks, which had been selling like hotcakes, might even be delayed by a lot of time.
Jia Yapeng was planning to expand into the whole province's market. Once his plan was obstructed, it would delay a lot of time.
Fortunately, when Jia Yapeng asked about the situation, he found out that President Wang had sent someone to deliver two hundred thousand cards. The news of President Wang's arrest had come from this guy.
Jia Yapeng immediately found this person and asked him about it.
It turned out that the person who delivered the goods was President Wang's nephew. He usually worked for President Wang, and President Wang had been arrested this morning. Before he was arrested, President Wang had specifically instructed him to deliver the goods to Jia Yapeng as soon as possible to avoid damaging his reputation.
"Why was President Wang arrested? The police wouldn't arrest someone for no reason! "Jia Yapeng asked.
"Well …" The man began to stammer.
"If you want to save your uncle, tell me everything clearly!" Jia Yapeng scolded him angrily. The man then slowly told him what had happened.
The reason why CEO Wang was arrested was actually because of Jia Yapeng. CEO Wang was arrested by the factory's security guards while he was working at the Yuzhang Printing Factory. Then, he was sent to the police station.
This sounded a little strange. President Wang was more or less a boss. How could he have been arrested by the security guards at someone else's company?
The reason was very simple. President Wang was using someone else's machine to work for him.
As mentioned before, President Wang didn't have an expensive machine that could print cards, but he still accepted Jia Yapeng's order. Why was that?
Of course, it wasn't because President Wang had made a fortune, but because he had learned to take advantage of the opportunity to lay eggs. He borrowed the machine from the Yuzhang City's state-run printing factory to print the cards that Jia Yapeng needed.
It sounded very incredible, but it was also very simple.
Since Mr. Wang was in the printing industry, he was naturally very familiar with the entire printing industry in Yuzhang City. In fact, he used to be an employee of Yuzhang City's state-run printing factory. However, he learned from others and resigned a few years ago to start a small printing factory.
Although he had left, President Wang's connections were still in the printing factory. President Wang knew that the only expensive machine that could print plastic cards didn't have many opportunities to use it. This was because there weren't many places in Yuzhang City that could use such high-end printing products. Therefore, the machine was idle for nine months out of twelve months.
President Wang took advantage of these nine months of free time. He first invited the worker who was in charge of operating the machine, who was his former colleague and friend, to have a drink. He then inquired about the use of the machine in detail.
Then, he asked his friend to help him print Jia Yapeng's game cards while the machine was idle.
This sounded very ridiculous. No matter how good a friend was, he wouldn't help with such a dangerous thing. However, what if President Wang directly took out 200 yuan and promised to give him the same benefits every month?
What if there wasn't too much risk involved in this matter?
The management of Yuzhang City's state-run printing factory was actually quite lax. Their slogan was that all the workers were one family. In terms of management, they were just like real family members. They managed the workers as if they were family members.
Usually, the security personnel would not wander around the workshop. Due to the lack of tasks in the workshop, there were only two or three kittens and puppies in total, including the workshop director. Moreover, Mr. Wang had specially bribed the others with money, so no one would care about the situation here.
As long as the normal work was not affected, the factory didn't care about this matter at all.
Therefore, the previous few times, CEO Wang's work of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs could be said to have been carried out with great success. No one dared to disturb him. This was ridiculous. All of Jia Yapeng's cards were printed by the place that rejected him before.
Originally, this work could have been carried out continuously. However, President Wang's friend had a mouth that he couldn't control. Moreover, this mouth liked to drink. Whenever he drank, he would brag.
As a result, when he was drinking with his colleagues, this guy, who had just received 200 yuan, was in high spirits. He drank too much and told his colleagues everything about how he made money.
As a result, this aroused the jealousy of the villain on the spot. The next day, this matter was reported to the factory. Then, this big mouth was directly caught when he was helping President Wang print.
The factory's security office called the police on the spot. After a while, the police arrested President Wang, who was still sleeping at home. The whole process was like this.
Jia Yapeng didn't care about what happened to President Wang in the end. After all, he was just a supplier. Jia Yapeng was concerned about who would supply his cards after President Wang was arrested.
Fortunately, President Wang still had a conscience. In the end, he sent 200,000 cards, which allowed Jia Yapeng to support the production for a few more weeks.
Go to other capable factories?
Impossible, because in the entire Yuzhang, or even the entire Xijiang Province, there was no other capable factory.
Go to other provinces to find such factories?
Yes, but he would need to ask them one by one. After he found them, he would have to transport them over thousands of miles. This was not the era of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai 30 years later. In this era, it was not unusual for anything to be transported for ten days to half a month.
Jia Yapeng sat down and thought for a while. Suddenly, he couldn't help but laugh.
He was really an idiot. He was troubled by this problem for so long. Why did he have to change the printer? He would print the same way as before. Why did he have to change the printer?
