Chapter 95 The Excited Wang Defa, in Control
Wang Defa jogged along, his hands still quickly tying his tie around his neck.
Because the factory's equipment is outdated, its products cannot stand out from the competition, and it has no money for advertising.
Then it entered a cycle, an increasingly difficult cycle.
Even if he wanted to upgrade his machine and spend money to upgrade his GG, he lacked the funds to do so.
Then it became increasingly difficult, until it reached the point where it is now unsustainable.
In today's environment, all industries are extremely competitive.
You either crush your competitors or fall into the killing line and become someone else's stepping stone.
The small shipyard could only produce a single type of plastic inflatable boat, so it naturally couldn't compete with others.
Wang Defa believed that by building a reputation through quality, he could stand out from his peers.
Reality dealt him a heavy blow!
I just finished making a round of phone calls in the office, and the ashtrays are full, but I still haven't gotten any orders.
They were so desperate that they wanted to give up and sell the factory's inflatable boats cheaply as severance pay for the workers.
He's a boss with a conscience, though.
Just when he was in despair, the production team leader called him and said that a big customer had arrived!
He immediately asked to buy three thousand taels of inflatable boats.
Even with discounts and promotions, this order still amounts to thirteen million!
If we can secure this order, not only will it revitalize the factory, but we can also replace all the equipment with a new batch.
Wang Defa was somewhat confused, not understanding why a wealthy patron had suddenly come to his door.
However, adhering to the principle of "trying my luck even if there's no chance," we decided to treat it with great care.
Anyway, if the business succeeds, I can make a lot of money; if it fails, I won't lose much.
The only thing to be careful about is not falling for scammers' tricks.
So he hurried downstairs while tying his tie.
When Wang Defa saw the electric scooter parked downstairs, his heart sank.
Especially a young man next to the electric scooter, who was looking at him with a smile.
A question arose in his mind: "This guy is wearing a shirt, dress pants, leather shoes, and a tie; he looks quite formal, but riding an electric scooter doesn't seem like he's a sugar daddy at all!"
Strangers rarely come to the factory, so seeing a stranger inevitably leads to speculation.
However, seeing the other person's attire, he became puzzled again.
Given the size of the order (tens of millions of dollars), it's understandable that they would take a taxi to get here, but it's really unexpected that they would ride an electric scooter.
Judging from their attire, they look more like insurance salespeople than shoppers!
Wang Defa squinted, extended his right hand, and cautiously inquired, "Hello, you must be Mr. Chen?"
Although I had my doubts, I remained cautious and maintained basic politeness.
What if the client has some peculiar quirk, like preferring a return to simplicity?
However, deep down, his vigilance against scammers had increased considerably.
The man had just taken off his helmet when he saw the middle-aged man coming down from the office, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
When the other person reaches out their hand, quickly extend both hands to grasp it.
He looked flattered and overwhelmed, his back bent at a 90-degree angle.
"My surname is Li, and I am a bank teller. Our bank has launched a new service with low interest rates, which is very suitable for a factory of your size."
"Uh..." Wang Defa's smile froze on his face: "You're in charge of bank loans?"
The man quickly smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is my business card."
He agreed while taking out a business card.
Wang Defa took the business card, looked at it, and asked again to confirm, "You're not here to buy a boat?"
The man paused, then asked, "Buy a boat? What kind of boat?"
Wang Defa was also a little stunned. Wasn't he supposed to be here to buy a boat?
Just as I was wondering, a worker ran over.
He urged, "Boss, the buyer is waiting, hurry up!"
When Wang Defa heard the workers' voices, his disappointment was instantly rekindled.
He shoved the business card back and ordered, "Tell Old Liu to kick this irrelevant person out; he's just causing trouble!"
Then he quickened his pace and ran towards the factory.
He cursed Old Liu, the gatekeeper, in his heart for letting just anyone into the factory without even notifying him.
I'll definitely dock a day's wages from him later!
I ran five meters forward before passing through the wall that blocked my view.
I immediately spotted the G-Wagon parked at the factory gate, and my eyes lit up.
Buyers who drive cars worth millions are financially capable.
When I saw a couple who looked like a perfect match, patting and splashing each other's plastic boats outside, I immediately made a guess.
Judging from his attire, he does seem to be a wealthy person.
He stretched out his hands from afar, smiling as he approached, "You must be Mr. Chen?"
At the same time, he glanced at Lao Huang, the production team leader next to him, out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing Lao Huang nod, I finally felt at ease.
The smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.
"Mr. Chen... Madam, how about we come to your office for tea and a leisurely chat?"
Wang Defa put on a fawning smile, determined to serve this patron well.
However, when receiving female companions, he was somewhat unsure about their identities.
A beautiful female secretary, a beautiful female internet celebrity, and one of many girlfriends?
"This is my wife," Chen Huai'an introduced calmly, thus clarifying her identity.
Then, his gaze fell on the somewhat dimly lit factory building: "Mr. Wang, why don't we go inside and take a look, and talk as we walk?"
"Alright, alright, let's watch and talk!" Wang Defa dared not disobey, for fear of offending the big spender.
He turned his head and winked, "Old Huang, why don't you also introduce our factory to Mr. Chen?"
When it comes to understanding the factory, Team Leader Huang, who is in charge of production, naturally knows it better.
Team Leader Huang hurriedly nodded in agreement and quickly stepped forward to open the factory gate.
However, because production was suspended, the lights were not turned on in order to save electricity.
Old Huang hurriedly turned on the lights, illuminating the approximately 300-square-meter factory.
This factory looks a lot like the ones from the 80s.
The machines that were producing the products were already rusty, indicating that they had reached the end of their service life.
It seemed that the machines and the ground were covered with a thick layer of dust, probably because they hadn't been used for a long time.
Team Leader Huang explained the production situation, and every now and then, Wang Defa would add a few words of embellishment.
Although the two were working together to try their best to beautify and upgrade the factory's image.
But the facts are undeniable: no matter how much they try to beautify it, they can't escape the fact that the company is about to go bankrupt.
The fact that the two of them acted as if they were receiving foreign guests proved that they desperately wanted to grasp at this only lifeline.
If we can close this deal, at least we won't have to sell our house to pay severance.
"Mr. Wang, although your description is very good, your factory looks like it's about to go bankrupt. Can it really meet my requirements?"
Chen Huai'an remained calm, though he appeared somewhat dissatisfied.
His words implied the fact that the factory was about to go bankrupt.
This exacerbated Wang Defa and Lao Huang's sense of crisis.
Chen Huai'an kept observing the two people's micro-expressions out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing their tense and anxious expressions, the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up slightly.
This is exactly the effect I wanted!
It's not about lowering the price, it's about giving them a warning!
I drove straight here because I had done my homework beforehand and specifically chose this factory that was about to go bankrupt from among all the workshops, big and small.
The reason is simple: to survive, they'll do anything!
Chen Huai'an specifically chose this factory for another far-reaching strategic purpose!
