Du Wenwu's car drove quickly and steadily, and in a little more than two hours, he arrived at his destination, the Blue Sky Hotel.
When getting off the car, Smith started to find fault: "Mr. Long, the factory you introduced is a bit far away, which will increase the transportation cost a lot."
Regarding Smith's seemingly unintentional but actually intentional fault-finding behavior, Long Ziyou felt like a mirror. He smiled and said: "Mr. Smith, don't worry, this kind of cost will not be passed on to your company.
The previous contract was not much different."
"Really, that's good." Smith nodded.
At this time, Meng Yuanqing and Gao Zhiyang came forward. Long Ziyou introduced them to both parties. After a while of greetings, the group walked into the hotel. It was dinner time. The sky was huge and the food was the biggest. Naturally, we had to eat before talking.
After the meal, Ruth and Smith took a lunch break for more than an hour. At 2:30 in the afternoon, the two people's inspection trip officially began. In order to show their importance and to see what tricks Smith could play, Long Ziyou accompanied them throughout the whole process.
At Chuanglian Shoe Factory, Smith found quite a lot of problems. At one moment, he complained that there were too few people and he could not catch up with the goods. At another moment, he complained that the workers’ skills were not up to standard, and he even complained that the machinery and equipment were not advanced enough. In short, it was difficult to find faults.
It was quite embarrassing to have Gao Zhiyang accompanying him. When he finally left, Smith gave Gao Zhiyang a pair of sample shoes and asked him to make them within two days and send them to the Hilton Hotel in the provincial capital.
At the Chaozhi Clothing Factory in Hezhuang, although there were no major problems, Smith still picked out a lot of minor problems, which made Zheng Jinhua a little embarrassed, but he had to keep smiling. There was no way, who made the other party the boss? With Zai Chuang
Like the United Shoe Factory, Smith also left a set of sample sportswear for Zheng Jinhua before leaving. He also asked that it be made within two days and delivered to the Hilton Hotel.
Ruth felt a little strange about Smith's somewhat abnormal attitude, because their industry had set the tone before they came here, and the inspection was just a show. As long as the factory introduced by Long Ziyou can make qualified products, it can be delivered within the specified time.
The price would be almost the same as the original factory, but she didn't think too much about it, thinking that Smith was just preparing for bargaining.
After the inspection, Long Ziyou asked Du Wenwu to drive Smith and Ruth back to the Hilton Hotel in the provincial capital.
Two days passed in a flash. Early that morning, Gao Zhiyang and Zheng Jinhua, led by Long Ziyou, went to the provincial capital to hand over samples and discuss contracts.
"Mr. Gao, Mr. Zheng, are there any problems with your samples?" Long Ziyou asked shortly after getting in the car.
"No problem!" Gao Zhiyang and Zheng Jinhua were both confident and said the same thing.
"It's just... Secretary Long, that Smith was so picky during the inspection that day, will there be any problems with this order?" Gao Zhiyang asked a little worried.
"Mr. Gao, put yourself in my shoes, if you were a foreigner, would you have made any mistakes during the inspection?" Before Long Ziyou could answer, Zheng Jinhua had already answered for Long Ziyou.
"Mr. Zheng, you mean this is just a means that Smith plans to use to lower the price?" Gao Zhiyang thought about it and felt that the possibility was quite high. After thinking about it this way, he naturally felt a little more confident.
As expected, few of these businessmen are stupid! Long Ziyou murmured to himself, but if it weren't for Luo Yuwei, Cheng Yaojin, Smith's trouble-seeking behavior might really be preparation for lowering prices, but now, he is purely
Looking for trouble!
"Haha, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Gao, don't worry about this, we are sure of it!" Long Ziyou smiled calmly, looking confident.
For today's matter, Smith and Ruth asked the hotel to prepare a small conference room. Before inspecting samples and negotiating, Long Ziyou called Smith out into the corridor.
"Mr. Long, the negotiation is about to begin. Is there anything we can't discuss after the negotiation is over?" Smith had a somewhat displeased look on his face.
"No, Mr. Smith, this matter is very important to you. It will be too late to talk about it after the negotiation is over," Long Ziyou smiled and shook his head.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Smith was a little impatient.
"Mr. Smith, I hope you will not deliberately embarrass my two friends during the negotiation and signing process, otherwise..." Long Ziyou leaned into Smith's ear and whispered: "Otherwise, you will take money from Mr. Luo of Yingfeng Company.
The senior management of your company will know about it. I’m going to say this. I think you should know better than me about what to do next, haha..."
"You...how do you know this?" Smith looked at Long Ziyou who was smiling with surprise. At this time, Long Ziyou's smile looked more like Satan's smile to him!
"This was the number before, and it will be the same afterwards," Long Zi imitated Luo Yuwei, stretched out a hand to make a gesture, and then continued: "Mr. Smith, there is an old saying in our country, 'If you don't want others to know, unless you don't know it.
I hope you will remember this lesson." After saying this, Long Ziyou ignored Smith's reaction and turned around to leave.
How did he know about this matter? Looking at Long Ziyou's back, Smith couldn't calm down for a long time, but he knew that he had only one way to go about this matter, and that was to sign with Gao Zhiyang and Zheng Jinhua who were waiting in the meeting as soon as possible
Good contract, then return the money to Luo Yuwei!
The smoothness of the matter was beyond Gao Zhiyang and Zheng Jinhua's expectations. Smith and Ruth inspected the samples they brought and declared them qualified before starting contract negotiations. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the terms of the contract were negotiated, and Smith
It was too difficult for the two of them because of the lack of price, so they signed a formal contract.
Holding the signed contract worth five million US dollars, Zheng Jinhua couldn't help but smile happily. She quickly called Long Ziyou to tell her the good news and said she would treat him to dinner. However, she could only wait until next time because
At this time, Long Ziyou has returned to the development zone.
After hanging up the phone, Long Ziyou had a rather complacent smile on his face. Such a result was within his expectation.
After feeling complacent, Long Ziyou's thoughts returned to reality and the news he had just received: the development zone was about to be upgraded!
Although he had known for a long time that the development zone was going to be upgraded, Long Ziyou was still very happy when he actually heard the news, because it meant that his rank would be promoted to deputy director, and he would join the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, officially becoming the core of power in Lantian County
one of them!
But Long Ziyou didn't know that Zhou Ya and Yan Wenfeng's operation did not go smoothly. Because of the dismissal of contract workers and temporary workers in the development zone, Long Ziyou offended four members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. Zhou Ya and Yan Wenfeng found some
When the Standing Committee members communicated about the upgrading of the development zone, all four of them said that it was possible to upgrade the development zone, but not to upgrade Long Ziyou, because Long Ziyou had only been promoted to a full subject for one year and did not comply with the procedures for cadre promotion.
There are currently only eight people in the county committee, and four people have already objected. Naturally, it will be difficult for this matter to be passed at the county standing committee, so Zhou Ya and Yan Wenfeng have a headache. The news has been released. If the development zone fails to be upgraded, then
The two of them were about to become a joke! However, the two of them did not complain about Long Ziyou, because they also approved of Long Ziyou's actions at that time, and even praised him for it.
Just when Zhou Ya was having a headache trying to convince the four members of the Standing Committee, her secretary Zhang Caixia walked in with a copy of "People's Daily" and said: "Secretary Zhou, there is a report here that may be useful to you, please take a look."
After that, she put the newspaper in front of Zhou Ya. As a secretary, of course she knew what the leader was worried about, so naturally she wanted to find a way to solve the leader's worries.
"Really? Let me take a look." Zhou Ya took the newspaper and took a look. A circled review article title came into view: "In ancient times, there were umbrellas for thousands of people, but now there are thousands of people giving them away." She continued to read the content and realized that this
The commentary article was initiated by thousands of people when Long Ziyou left office in Hezhuang.
The article pointed out that as long as party members and cadres have a sincere heart for the people and lead the masses to get rich, the masses will never forget the well-digger. All party cadres should learn from Comrade Long Ziyou.
The spirit of sincerely serving the people...
"Okay, this article is really useful to me!" After reading the article, Zhou Ya said with a happy face. In fact, it was not impossible for her to get the four standing committee members to agree to her and Yan Wenfeng's plan, but she would not do it as a last resort.
She just doesn't want to use it.
In Lantian County, Yan Hongling was naturally the first to know that there would be such a commentary article in the "National Daily" because her friend Duan Sisi, a reporter from the national TV station, notified her last night. Of course, Duan Sisi casually notified the person involved.
Longziyou.
It took such a long time for the incident to happen before I posted a commentator article calmly. Yan Hongling naturally asked why. Duan Sisi's answer was that this kind of thing is relatively sensitive and will be suspected of being fake, so it should not be broadcast on TV.
Longziyou and its development were in trouble some time ago, and it was not appropriate to publish an article, so I postponed it until now. Only then did Yan Hongling suddenly realize.
Long Ziyou once again appeared in the national official media, causing quite a stir in Lantian, Beiling, and even within the Tianyue system. Some were amazed, some were envious, and some were even jealous, but they
Everyone knows that this young man has a bright future!
When Zhou Ya communicated with the four standing committee members again, she put the newspaper in front of them. After they read it, she only asked one sentence: "Does Long Ziyou meet the conditions for exceptional promotion?" As a result, all four of them were silent.
As a result, two days later, the proposal to upgrade the county development zone and raise the level of Longzi Tour by half was passed by the Standing Committee and then submitted to the city and province for approval. With Zhou Ya’s strong background, the city and province
The approval was given all the way with little resistance.
Regarding the fact that Long Ziyou was about to be promoted to deputy director and become a member of the county standing committee, the cadres and workers in the development zone naturally heard about it. Everyone could only envy and marvel at this. Jealousy? The distance was too big to be jealous.
