Hong Kong movies: What era is this? Are you still playing the dwarf mule game?

Chapter 158

Laiyang Steel Pipe Factory.

(PS: Due to the plot, this steel pipe factory was established 20 years in advance.)

Factory Director Xu Xianjin has been so worried these days that his hair is almost bald.

There is really no way! There are so many mouths waiting to eat in the factory, but the superiors have not given them orders.

If they don't think of a way to make everyone have work, then all the employees will have to starve.

Just now, Director Xu suddenly received a call from the leader of the Industrial Bureau, saying that a big boss from Hong Kong is coming to inspect their products.

This time, Director Xu dare not be careless.

However, he also felt very puzzled: If a big boss like this Hong Kong businessman needs steel, he will definitely look for steel giants such as Baosteel and Wuhan Iron and Steel at the first time.

How could he find their unknown small factory?

But no matter what, Director Xu decided to be very energetic to receive this distinguished guest.

If this Hong Kong businessman has a bad eye, oh no, he has a unique vision, and is interested in their products and is willing to purchase hundreds of thousands of goods, then the wages of all the workers in the factory this year will be expected.

Moreover, if the other party can pay for the goods in Hong Kong dollars, it means export and foreign exchange earnings, and he may even be on the honor roll of the entire industry!

Time quickly came to 12 noon.

Just when Director Xu led many cadres and waited anxiously, a black German Santana stopped steadily in front of the office building in the factory area.

First, Gong Wei and Xu Zhengyang, a pair of two generals, got out of the car from both sides, then guarded around, and after confirming that it was safe, they nodded inside.

Although this set of procedures is a bit redundant, it is a symbol of status after all.

Then, Lin Yi slowly walked out of the car.

Director Xu was stunned when he saw such a young Lin Yi. In his imagination, the so-called big bosses of Hong Kong businessmen must be the kind with big shoulders and big waists and bulging beer bellies.

Isn't the life of rich people supposed to be like this?

"Hello, Director Xu, hello." Lin Yi took the lead in extending his hand and shook hands with the other party tightly.

After a simple lunch, Lin Yi suggested taking a look at the products in the factory first, which was also what Director Xu wanted.

In the huge factory, the seamless steel pipes that have been produced were neatly stacked together.

Lin Yi looked at the seamless steel pipes that filled the factory, as if he saw endless rocket launchers.

"Director Xu, we have contracted a piece of mountain land in Maine. In order to implement the afforestation plan, we are going to purchase a batch of sewer pipes..."

Listening to Lin Yi's nonsense, Director Xu was full of question marks.

Who the hell planted trees and bought seamless steel pipes for sewers?

Although there was no such saying as "customers are God" at that time, in fact, in most shopping malls, there were regulations that sales staff were not allowed to beat customers at will.

But their shopping malls sold products that were in urgent need of people's livelihood, so they were not worried about selling.

Except for the planned allocation, no one purchased their steel pipes outside the plan because the price was too high. One ton cost more than 1,000 Chinese yuan, which was twice the price within the plan.

But no matter what, the big boss was the boss because he had money. The workers in the whole factory were still waiting to get their wages for the previous months after the products were sold.

Lin Yi pointed to the stacked pipes and asked, "Director Xu, what are the prices?"

Director Xu did not quote immediately, but first looked at the leaders of the Industrial Bureau who accompanied him.

Private transactions at this time were not as simple as in later times.

The leaders of the Industrial Bureau nodded, and Director Xu was relieved.

He tried to quote a slightly higher price.

"Boss Lin, these pipes are all priced at 1,500 yuan per ton regardless of specifications. What do you think?"

Hearing this offer, Lin Yi frowned slightly.

It's not that he thinks this price is very high. On the contrary, the factory director's offer is basically to add some labor costs on the basis of the cost price of steel.

The price of one ton is 1,500 yuan, and the price of 1,000 tons is only 1.5 million.

This is not ordinary steel, but processed seamless steel pipes.

1,000 tons, how many rocket launchers can be made with this?

Seeing that Lin Yi frowned slightly, Director Xu thought that the other party thought it was too expensive, so he hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and began to actively reduce the price.

"Boss Lin, it's not that it can't be cheaper. In this way, I will give you another 200 yuan discount per ton, a total of 1,300 per ton, what do you think?" Director Xu said cautiously.

He was really afraid that if he didn't agree with him, he would let this rich man go. The food rations of all the workers in the factory would all depend on him as the factory director.

If LinIf Yi is a bit more ruthless, he can push the price down, but this will not be worth the loss in the future.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yi slowly said: "Director Xu, I know it's not easy for you, 1500 is 1500, just consider it as my charity. But, I have three additional requests."

Lin Yi raised three fingers.

Hearing that the other party still maintained the price of 1500, Director Xu was happy at first, and then, after hearing the three conditions that Lin Yi said later, his heart, which had just been put down, was lifted up again.

"Boss Lin, I wonder what the three requirements are? If we can do it, we will try our best to do it."

As soon as the voice fell, the leader of the Industrial Bureau who was accompanying him also spoke.

"Director Xu, you are wrong. We should carry forward the spirit of dedication of not fearing hardship and death.

We must do our best to do the best we can. We must also try our best to overcome difficulties that we cannot do immediately."

After hearing what the leader said, Director Xu could only nod his head in agreement, but he felt a little bitter in his heart.

Industrial production is not so easy to overcome difficulties.

However, he still expressed his position, saying that the factory will do its best to overcome difficulties, and asked the leader and Boss Lin to rest assured.

"The first point," Lin Yi stretched out a finger. "If this cooperation goes well, our company will plan to have a long-term cooperation with your factory.

Therefore, I hope that your factory can take out 30% of the payment for the goods as funds for the factory's technology upgrade."

After hearing what Lin Yi said, Director Xu was suddenly stunned.

He never thought that the other party's so-called first requirement was to let his factory improve its technical strength.

Immediately, he agreed without any hesitation.

As the head of the factory, he knows too well the importance of technology upgrades for a steel pipe factory.

He couldn't do it before because he didn't have money, but now he has money, and it's the client's request, so he will only do more.

"Boss Lin, don't worry. As long as we collect the payment, I guarantee that at least 35% of the funds will be used for technology upgrades."
