"Brother, I still have this idea. Because the payment for Boss Chen's goods taken last month has not been paid back, how can I have the nerve to trouble him for a meeting again."
"Well, we can't help much. Our two years of salary combined can pay off the house loan. You can take out whatever is left tomorrow, Yanhua, and put it into the accounts of the factory and the supply and marketing cooperative first."
"No, Brother Qin. Even though it's just a drop in the bucket, I appreciate it. Thank you."
"Let's go together. If that doesn't work, we can have a meeting in the name of a new leather factory." Li Tongfu still insisted on meeting with Boss Chen.
"Okay, I can only give up my face and give it a try. Brother, I found that since we opened the factory and the supply and marketing cooperative, we seem to have been in a state of lack of money."
"I can't help it, it's just business turnover!"
"Can we also try a bank loan?" Yanhua interjected.
"Bank? I haven't thought about it. Will banks give loans to private enterprises like us?"
"Try to walk on multiple legs, just in case you can."
"Okay, then Yanhua will let Zhang Feng take you to try it tomorrow. If you need any cooperation from the factory and the supply and marketing cooperative, we will fully support you. Brother, let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor. Let's go to the market together tomorrow. Find Brother Chen."
After the four people discussed it, Yang Liufang returned to Xizhou with them. He asked Li Tongfu to find a hotel near the supply and marketing cooperative to stay with him. Yang Liufang has become a frequent visitor here, and Li Tongfu is the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative. They purchase the hotel's logistics lamps, washbasins, etc., so there is no need to register. The hotel owner will directly give them the best room. Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu took a good hot bath to wash away the fatigue of the past few days. They lay down on the bed covered with thick mattresses and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
After waking up in the morning, the two of them finished eating beef noodles before going to the supply and marketing cooperative. They saw Zhang Feng already busy outside the door. He has been extremely enthusiastic recently. The first thing he does after waking up every morning and washing up is to go to the beef noodle restaurant next door to eat noodles, and then bring back a portion to Accountant Li's sister-in-law, who is studying with Yanhua here. Then he took over all the things that Li Tongfu had done before getting up early to stock the iron shelves at the door of the store department, and began to put the recently sold products on the shelves outside the door, waiting for customers to come.
"Hello, two bosses." Zhang Feng greeted Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu while working.
"Hello, Brother Feng, why don't you drive out to go to the bank with Yanhua today." Yang Liufang stopped to talk to him and instinctively helped him hold a box.
"Okay. No, I can do it myself."
The two walked into the sales department and saw Qin Jiajun and Wang Shan busy in the building materials hall. After the spring rain, the weather gradually became warmer, the decoration market began to recover, and the building materials business was getting better day by day. The two were very busy. Therefore, the cash flow of the Building Materials Department is also very good.
"Brother Qin, third brother, we are busy. Brother Qin, please take us to the wholesale market in the city later."
"Maybe not, because I have to go to the north of the city to deliver goods soon. Where is Zhang Feng?"
"Zhang Feng and Yanhua went to the bank today."
"Two bosses, we don't seem to have enough cars. Should we consider adding another car?" Wang Shan made a suggestion while moving a generation of putty.
"Oh, slow down for a while. Third brother, if we really can't adjust the situation, let's let that buddy Zhang Feng drive the car to handle the situation."
"Boss Yang, how do you calculate the cost? If it doesn't work, I'll ask my former soldiers who have retired and let them come if they have cars?"
"Okay, that's great, Brother Qin. Anyway, the transportation is your responsibility. You can make arrangements for it. You can discuss the cost. Don't lose your soldiers, and don't let us suffer."
"OK."
"Brother, it seems we have to take a taxi today." The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This is the boss, and it is difficult to even use a taxi. The two left the hardware store and took a taxi on the road to the wholesale market.
The wholesale market in March in Yangchun is full of vitality. Customers carry large and small bags, and yellow croaker carts are also crowded among them. The "driver" shouts from time to time, "Give me a ha, give me a ha..." Yang Liufang He and Li Tongfu squeezed into the crowd and walked towards Boss Chen's stall. At this time, they heard a familiar voice in the crowd calling them: "Xiao Yang, Ah Fu, are you here? Let's have lunch together."
"Oh, hello, Boss Zhou. You are busy first, let's go find Brother Chen." Even though during the most difficult time for Yang Liufang, Lao Zhou tried to drain the fire under the pretext of family illness, the two did not resent each other, and they were still like old friends. get along with each other.
Lao Chen's business is much better than when Yang Liufang was a hawker. He hired a nephew from his hometown as an employee, and the two of them entertained customers enthusiastically at the stall. Seeing Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu coming, Lao Chen asked his nephew to entertain the customers, and stopped to let them enter the stall to drink tea.
"Why do you two celebrities have time to come to my place today?"
"Ah, celebrities, what celebrities?"
"Tch, you're still pretending, haven't you read the Xizhou newspaper? Last night, Xizhou TV station was broadcasting your reception of the National People's Congress deputies' research team. You were also praised for donating water wells to the villagers. Even if you have such a good thing, I won't say hello to you stall keeper. Brother."
"Ah! Brother, we really don't know. But what a good thing, you and I don't know, donkey dung eggs have a shiny surface. We were so worried that we didn't sleep last night. How could we have time to watch the news?"
"Have you encountered any difficulties again? Look at how full your goods yard is, and the canteen in the furniture factory has clear windows."
"Brother, you are worried because the goods are piled outside and there is no room! You didn't notice that they are all covered with plastic sheets. There is no place for processing. They said that the airport is passing by our place and we have to move."
"Relocation, where?"
"Brother, our initial plan is to go to Hongtu Village. We want 300 acres of land there. It's not fields, most of it is hilly wasteland."
"Oh, you need funds, right? How much?"
"Brother, I'm embarrassed to even mention this when I come to you. We haven't repaid your payment for last month's goods, so we have to trouble you again."
"In business, everyone has a time when the horse's stool is short. I'm afraid you will be embarrassed. Let me say it for you. Tell me, how much do you need this time?"
"Brother, we want to build a processing workshop first, and then build two simple dormitories, a bathroom, and a small kitchen. This can ensure normal factory production. When the goods are sold, we will use our own money to gradually expand Construction. In this way, 50,000 will be enough."
"Well, I'm mature and prudent, and don't make any rash advances. Okay, fifty thousand..." Boss Chen said to himself, holding the tea cup, nodding.
After pondering for a while, he continued: "Well, brothers, I can help you start this association. Of course, with your current reputation, it's no problem, but for long-term considerations, I hope you will take out something as collateral. This will show your Sincerely, I will leave a good impression on everyone no matter what happens in the future."
"Oh, I understand, Brother Chen. You see, the furniture factory is about to be demolished. We are not sincere in taking this. It looks like playing house. The supply and marketing cooperative belongs to the state and we are only leasing. Do you see what else we can use as collateral? of?"
"Then take the supply contract we gave to Hongtu Village. This is real income."
"Okay, of course we can rest assured that you are here, Brother Chen. This is our common business."
"Okay, you go get the contract, and I'll help you get up at noon. Because there's a mortgage, I'll keep the interest as low as possible."
"Then call the supply and marketing cooperative to see if Yanhua is back, and ask her to deliver it directly when she comes back." Li Tongfu went to the public phone booth next to the market to make a call. Qin Jiajun on the other end of the phone was also looking for them anxiously, saying that he was preparing to drive to the market to look for them. It turns out that the party secretary of Xizhou Aluminum Factory was very interested in their new office furniture after the inspection yesterday. The new office building of the aluminum factory wanted to order a batch of modern office furniture from the factory and asked them to arrange the quantity. Yang was also asked It is best for the factory director to go there together and say that there is cooperation to discuss.
Li Tongfu was extremely excited after hearing this. It was another bright spot. It seemed that Adi had made the right choice again this time. Large state-owned enterprises began to order modern office furniture from them. He told Qin Jiajun to wait for Yanhua to come back and find the supply contract for labor protection supplies in Hongtu Village, and then bring the contract to Xizhou Wholesale Market. After explaining, he hung up the phone before he had time to say goodbye and told Yang Liufang the good news.
"Brother, there is no end to the road. This time we are hunting rabbits. Although we did not come down to the ground, we have business. We need to order a batch of new office furniture for the new office building of Xizhou Aluminum Factory. I want you to bring it as soon as possible. We have to wait for the workers to take measurements and talk about cooperation no matter what.”
"Ah, really? That's great. Alas, we finally have a start. Brother, we have to speed up production, because once a big company sets an example, others in the same system will follow suit. This is a trend. And as buildings get taller and taller, we have to use this kind of detachable office furniture, so this kind of furniture will exist for a long time in the future.”
Almost without thinking, Yang Liufang turned to Boss Chen and said: "Brother, I changed my mind. It may cost 70,000 yuan. I have to order chairs matching this kind of office furniture from our hometown. Because now we can only We can produce such partition tables and cabinets, but not chairs.”
"Oh, okay, I'll tell you when the meeting starts. Ah Fu, you'd better follow me. You're a legal person and everyone recognizes you."
"Okay brother."
The contract was delivered before noon. Boss Chen, who holds the Hongtu Village supply contract, made a simple standard contract according to the normal meeting process in Wenzhou. As the initiator and president, he pledged to raise 20,000 yuan, took a bag, and took Li Tongfu with him. When I came back from shopping in the market, I already had 70,000 yuan stuffed in my bag. He returned to his stall and solemnly handed the bag to Yang Liufang.
"Come on, brother, seventy thousand, seventy-eight thousand in half a year. Normally, I have to pay back about one hundred thousand in half a year. Forget my interest, just don't forget your brother if good things happen in the future. By the way, old man Zhou also knows, I don’t want his money, it’s enough to let Ah Fu tell him. I’m afraid his money will be hot.”
"Ah, brother, thank you. Brothers are brothers, money is money, every yard is a yard."
"What, I'm angry like this. You go to Xizhou Aluminum Factory as soon as possible. I won't let you eat. I wish you good luck."
"Thank you, brother." The two stood up and bowed in thanks. He left the market without waiting for Lao Zhou to come to invite him to dinner.
