The two people waited in the conference room for more than twenty minutes. Wan Jiangang arrived. Wan Jiangang was wearing the light gray work clothes of their factory and looked dusty. As soon as he entered the door, he said to them:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, a new assembly line is being installed in the workshop, so I kept you waiting."
Sheng Chuncheng and Sun Hong both said it was okay. Sheng Chuncheng introduced them to each other, and Sun Hong asked:
"Mr. Wan, other companies are currently reducing production and trying to survive this crisis. Are you still expanding production here?"
"There is no way. The expansion of production was decided the year before last, and the construction of the new factory was started the year before last. There was no epidemic at that time. The assembly line equipment just arrived from Germany last month. It cannot be left there and must be installed first."
Wan Jiangang said: "Besides, it's been more than two years. The epidemic will eventually pass, and demand will still rise. By then, it will be too late to expand production. That's how factories are. They have to stay ahead of the market and demand."
It's ahead, isn't it? Moreover, now that domestic demand is shrinking, foreign orders have begun to increase this year."
Sun Hong nodded and understood.
Wan Jiangang looked at his watch and said to them: "Let's go have lunch and chat while eating."
Sheng Chuncheng and Sun Hong agreed.
The three people walked out and passed the door of the factory general manager's office. Wan Jiangang stood at the door and explained to the general manager inside:
"You keep an eye on this place. I'm going out to eat with two friends. I have to test the car here this afternoon. Those German guys are bothering me every day. They say they can't stand it and do nucleic acid tests every day. They want to go back."
The people inside said yes, don't worry, Mr. Wan.
"Did you drive here?" Wan Jiangang turned around and asked as the three of them were walking on the stairs.
Sun Hong said yes.
"Is it okay if I take your car?" Wan Jiangang said, "Let's go to the Tuxiangyuan Hotel on the Grand Roundabout."
Sun Hong said with a smile: "Why don't you go out? I thought I would just have a work meal in the cafeteria of your factory."
"How can that be done?" Wan Jiangang said, "We have to work and we have to eat. We have known each other for such a long time. Today is the first time I invite Xiao Sheng to dinner. Xiao Sheng is stingy. I am afraid that Xiao Sheng will scold me. What do you mean?
Right, Xiaosheng?"
Sheng Chuncheng smiled and said: "For such a big boss, you treat me to instant noodles. I feel like you are giving me a lot of face. How dare you scold you?"
"Did you see that?" Wan Jiangang and Sun Hong said, "The hats will be put on right away. I don't think I can even treat you to something good."
Sun Hong and Sheng Chuncheng laughed.
The three of them got into Sun Hong's car and went to the Tuxiangyuan Hotel at the intersection of No. 1 Road and Yingbin Avenue. This Tuxiangyuan Hotel also belongs to Zhang Chen and his Banmutian Group, and their factory is also there.
Here, now, the factory has been demolished and moved away, but the hotel is still there.
The last time Sheng Chuncheng came here was when Father Zhong invited him to dinner.
The three of them went to the seafood pool first. Lao Wan asked them if they liked spicy food, and both of them said yes.
“It’s great. The spicy fried lobster here is a must-have.”
As Wan Jiangang spoke, he clicked on the biggest one, a two-pound green dragon. Sheng Chuncheng listened and couldn't help laughing. He remembered that Father Zhong's favorite food was also from Tuxiangyuan.
Spicy fried lobster.
Wan Jiangang then ordered Dungeness crab, conger eel, and grouper.
Sun Hong said: "Lunch, lunch, Mr. Wan, there is no need to be too grand."
"As for lunch and dinner, it all depends on who you eat with. If you are with the right person, you have to have a big meal for breakfast. If you are with the wrong person, just eating a bowl of pickled rice is a waste of time." Wan Jian
Just said.
Sun Hong and Sheng Chuncheng couldn't refute what they said, and they felt very happy in their hearts. These words have already shown that you are the right people, and you still don't know how to praise them?
Sun Hong looked at Sheng Chuncheng and smiled at him, meaning that you are so proud.
In the main building of Tuxiangyuan Hotel, there are only private rooms and no lobby. They took the elevator to the third floor, sat down and then ordered food. Wan Jiangang told them:
"There are several local dishes here that are pretty good, and the taste is even better than the Tuxiangyuan on Stadium Road. Several times, I drove here from the city specifically to eat here."
Sun Hong was surprised and asked: "Isn't the Tuxiangyuan store on Stadium Road their head office?"
"No, actually Tuxiangyuan is their first store." Wan Jiangang said, "Besides, the key to whether the food is delicious or not depends on who cooks it. It has nothing to do with the size and decoration of the store.
Da. Do you know why the local dishes here are more delicious than those in the city?"
Sun Hong and Sheng Chuncheng shook their heads together, how could they know this.
Wan Jiangang pointed his finger downstairs and said:
"The person in charge here is an old man, the father of the owner of their hotel. The old man is very interesting. He used to be in the countryside, specializing in making weddings and weddings for people, and he has good skills. When he became a chef here, although he didn't have any level of chef, he was good at cooking.
It was so delicious that his daughter thought about taking him to Stadium Road, but he refused to go, saying he was used to staying here.
"So, if you want to taste the local dishes he made by himself, you have to come here. You can't eat them elsewhere. Local dishes are also very strange, and you can't even learn them well.
The same ingredients, even if made by a special chef, will still taste different from the old man's."
After the food was ordered, Wan Jiangang was about to order wine. Sun Hong said, "It's noon now, so we won't drink wine, shall we, Mr. Wan?"
"Here we go again? Who said you can't drink at noon?" Wan Jiangang said, "If you don't drink, even the food will be in vain. Don't tell me that you, a bank president, are still so young and can't even drink.
I don’t know how to drink either.”
Sun Hong smiled and said: "Why do I have to drink?"
"The job of a president is not easy, especially now. Unlike in previous years, everyone was begging you for loans. Now it's the other way around, especially this year. Can't you even grant loans?"
Wan Jiangang spoke very directly: "If you can become president at such a young age, you will not be a flower vase. If you are a flower vase, you can at most be a vice president, and you can't afford to be a president. Needless to say, you can be a president because of your sincerity."
Your ability comes from your stomach."
Sheng Chuncheng was on the side and couldn't help but said: "It's really true."
"Look, am I right? Xiao Sheng is an honest man and he won't lie." Wan Jiangang smiled and said, "Tell me, Moutai or Wuliangye?"
Sun Hong rolled her eyes at Sheng Chuncheng and cursed angrily: "Honest man, tell me."
Wan Jiangang laughed loudly and looked at Sheng Chuncheng. Sheng Chuncheng had never drank Moutai, only Wuliangye. The last time Father Zhong invited him here, he drank Wuliangye. He and Liu Ligan were in Zhang Chen's office together.
What they drink is Wuliangye, which they all like to drink. Sheng Chuncheng also thinks Wuliangye is good, he said:
"Then let's take Wuliangye."
"Okay." Wan Jiangang turned to the waiter and said, "Bring us two bottles of Wuliangye."
Sun Hong and Sheng Chuncheng were shocked when they heard that, three people want two bottles of wine? Oh my god!
Just as Sun Hong was about to say something, Wan Jiangang stopped her and said to her with a smile: "I won't call you president anymore. When I meet outsiders, I'll call you Xiao Sun, okay?"
Sun Hong said yes.
"Xiao Sun, since Xiao Sheng brought you here, just relax, drink wine, eat food slowly, and eat and drink well. I definitely have business for you, can you?" Wan Jiangang asked.
