Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 584

If Niu Xiaoqiang still had the idea of ​​responding negatively yesterday, at this moment, he can't wait to do so.After learning that he might lose his qualification certificate, Niu Xiaoqiang no longer dared to deal with it negatively. He wanted to do everything possible to protect his best interests.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang's anxiety, Fan Demin shook his head slightly: "It's really embarrassing for this child. He has to bear such a big pressure at such a young age. If it were me, I'm afraid he would have been crushed long ago."

Niu Xiaoqiang found several canteens on the street one after another, but none of their phones could make international long distance calls. In desperation, he could only hailed a taxi and rushed to the nearest post office.

The telephone in the post office can make international long distance calls, but the charges are very high.Niu Xiaoqiang didn't care about the phone bill, and immediately took out 100 yuan and slapped it on the counter: "I want to make an international long-distance call to Africa!"

The staff was stunned for a moment, and then took out a form: "Please fill out this form, and bring me your ID card for registration."

Niu Xiaoqiang patiently went through the relevant procedures, and then directly called Smith's phone number.

The phone beeped for nearly ten seconds before it was connected, and a woman's voice came from the opposite side: "This is the office of the general manager of Kaur Mining Group. Do you have anything to discuss?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said heartily: Smith was the deputy general manager when he signed the contract with me, but he did not expect to become the general manager so soon.

"My name is Niu Xiaoqiang. I'm the chairman of the Asia Machinery Factory. I want to talk to Mr. Smith about business matters. Is he there?"

"Excuse me, which Mr. Smith are you looking for?"

"What? Do you have several Smiths in your company?"

"There are three Smiths in our company. The leader is Mr. Old Smith, who is the founder and chairman of the company. The other two Smiths are his sons, Big Smith and Little Smith. May I ask who you are looking for? ?”

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while and replied, "The Mr. Smith I'm looking for came to China in October last year. Do you know who he is?"

The other party snorted: "You are looking for Little Smith. He just flew on a business trip the day before yesterday, and this time he is going to China. If you want to talk to him about business, I can give him the phone number of the hotel room. Tell you, you just need to contact him directly."

"Ok, thanks."

The other party reported a phone number, and Niu Xiaoqiang memorized it in his mind after listening to it.Immediately he hung up the phone and dialed the number, but the phone was always disconnected.

Niu Xiaoqiang thought to himself: The area code in front of this number is Zhouguang. Could it be that Smith came to the Canton Fair again?It is estimated that he should go to the exhibition site, I'd better call him later.

Niu Xiaoqiang put down the receiver, took a taxi and returned to the entrance of the small restaurant after paying the bill.

Fan Demin had finished eating and drinking, and was squatting at the door smoking a cigarette. When he saw Niu Xiaoqiang coming back, he couldn't help asking: "Who did you call just now?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained the situation, and then explained: "If I can get the customer's understanding, I can delay the delivery time, which can avoid huge compensation, which is the most ideal result."

Fan Demin nodded: "Anyway, the other party has come to the country. If you can't reach an agreement here, you can go directly to Zhouguang to find him. I happen to be going to Zhouguang for inspection. We can go there together."

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "There is still half a day left. If the people in the Yuejin Automobile Factory are not like that, let's go. There is no need to stay here to waste time."

The two walked while talking, and soon returned to the reception room.After waiting until four o'clock in the afternoon, the female staff who was in charge of the reception came in: "Where are the people from the Asian Machinery Factory?"

Niu Xiaoqiang stood up and said, "Here."

"Please come with me."

Niu Xiaoqiang and Fan Demin followed behind this person, and led them down to a small reception room upstairs.

"You guys wait here for a while, Director Liu from our foreign affairs department will come over later."

"OK, thanks."

Originally, the two thought that Director Liu would appear soon, but after waiting for another half an hour, there was still no one in sight.

Fan Demin raised his wrist to check the time, and said with a gloomy face: "There is still the last half an hour left. If he still doesn't come, there is no need for us to waste any more time. Let's hurry up and find other ways out."

Niu Xiaoqiang also had the same intention: "Well, time is very precious to us, the longer we are delayed, the more passive we will be."

After 15 minutes, the door of the reception room was finally pushed open.Two middle-aged men came in. The leader had a bald forehead and a big belly. He staggered when he walked, looking like a tumbler.The man following him was holding a briefcase, probably his secretary.

The leading man took a look at Niu Xiaoqiang and Fan Demin, then showed a surprised expression, walked quickly to Fan Demin and held his right hand: "Director Fan, why are you here? If I knew you were here, I would definitely let go I came to see you earlier for other work, and neglected the distinguished guest, I am really sorry."

There was a faint smile on Fan Demin's face: "Director Liu is busy with business, so there is no need to be so polite. Since you are here, let's talk about things."

Director Liu was obviously pretending to be confused. Fan Demin had already revealed his identity when he registered. How could Director Liu not know that he was here?The apology just now was completely acting on purpose, and both parties knew it well.

Although Niu Xiaoqiang was angry in his heart, he still did not forget the superficial etiquette. He bent down and bowed to Director Liu in a regular manner: "Hello, Director Liu."

Director Liu was obviously much more indifferent to Niu Xiaoqiang, he just nodded slightly and hummed in his nostrils, which was considered a courtesy.

Niu Xiaoqiang was already mentally prepared, and he didn't bother to get angry when he saw this situation.

After everyone was seated, Fan Demin spoke first: "Director Liu, do you have any suggestions for your factory regarding the order from the Asian Machinery Factory? Please let me know and we can discuss it."

Director Liu pretended to be surprised: "What order? Why didn't I know?"

Although he knew that the other party was pretending to be confused, Fan Demin had to cooperate, he smiled and said: "Look at your memory, didn't we say it verbally before, the orders signed by the Asian Machinery Factory with African merchants also have a share from your factory, you Why don't you remember?"

Director Liu slapped his head: "Oh, I remembered, there is indeed such a thing, why, has the Asia Machinery Factory completed this order?"
