Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 592 Old Friend Smith
Zhang Guangmao coughed, and his tone sounded very awkward: "Forget it, let's talk after we meet, I'm attending a meeting in Guangzhou and Guangzhou, and I'll go to your factory in three days, and I'll bring an old friend of yours there meet you."

After Zhang Guangmao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, making Niu Xiaoqiang confused: "What happened to him? Also, who is the old friend he mentioned?"

Since Zhang Guangmao didn't want to talk about it, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't call to ask.He rolled his eyes, "It sounds like he is here to beg me to solve the trouble. I might as well take this opportunity to directly get an order from Jiangbei Oilfield, which can solve the problem of insufficient production capacity."

At present, all the machining orders of Asia Machinery Factory are received from Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery, which can create a profit of about 15 yuan for the factory every month.The processing volume of the order is not very large, which is far from meeting the capacity demand of the Asian machinery factory.

If more orders can be obtained, the workers in the factory will not have to be idle. Even if they don’t build cars, they can resume their old business and engage in mechanical processing, so that manpower can be fully utilized without causing any waste .

After making up his mind, Niu Xiaoqiang continued to review the salary report.When it was time for lunch, he found Fang Dongping and reported the situation.

Fang Dongping hadn't seen Zhang Guangmao for a long time, and he had a very good feeling for Zhang Guangmao.Although this person is a bit of an official fan, he is still very open-minded and has helped the Asia Machinery Factory a lot.

Hearing that Zhang Guangmao was coming for an inspection, Fang Dongping seemed very happy: "Since old friends are coming, we must treat them well. You can explain to the logistics department and ask them to prepare more local specialties. Then we must Say hello to old friends."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, I have already explained it, and I promise not to lose the chain."

After Fang Dongping laughed, he showed a curious expression: "Strange, what exactly does he want to talk about?"

The answer was revealed three days later. On the evening of the fourth day, Zhang Guangmao arrived at the wharf of Aoshan Town by passenger ship with more than ten entourages.

The two parties had exchanged the specific itinerary in advance. Niu Xiaoqiang led the management of the factory to line up at the pier to greet him earlier. He also specially made a banner saying "Warmly welcome the leaders of Jiangbei Oilfield to visit the Asian Machinery Factory." one line.

After the passenger ship docked, Niu Xiaoqiang and Fang Dongping walked quickly to the exit. As soon as Zhang Guangmao showed his head, they both smiled and greeted in unison: "Hello, Secretary Zhang, welcome!"

Zhang Guangmao looked a little fatter than before. He walked up to them quickly and shook hands with them warmly.

Before Niu Xiaoqiang had time to say a few words to Zhang Guangmao, he saw Zhou Hongbao walking out.Although the relationship between the two is relatively close, it is not easy to be too intimate in front of everyone. The two sides exchanged glances tacitly, and then became very formulaic.

"Niu, nice to see you again!"

When Niu Xiaoqiang was greeting Zhou Hongbao, a voice sounded from the exit.This person spoke English, and as soon as he spoke, he attracted the attention of all the management of the Asia Machinery Factory.

In this era, foreigners are more common in coastal cities, but rarely in inland cities, not to mention the remote mountain town of Aoshan.Everyone turned their heads and looked at the foreigner who spoke English with surprised eyes.

Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head to look, and then he was taken aback.He always felt that the foreigner in front of him looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

This foreign man is white, but his complexion is very tanned and his skin is very rough. He looks like a construction worker who has been working on a construction site all year round.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang looking at him with puzzled eyes, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "I knew you wouldn't recognize me. I used to wear suits and leather shoes, and my skin was much fairer than now, but now I am not much different from a miner. It's your fault for not recognizing it."

When Niu Xiaoqiang heard the word miner, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "You are Smith!"

This dark-skinned Caucasian man was Smith. Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't recognize him immediately because he had changed too much from before.

The reason why Niu Xiaoqiang guessed the correct result by relying on the word absenteeism was mainly because among the foreign men he knew, only Smith’s family was a mine owner, and the two parties had also signed an order for [-] heavy trucks, so he had a very good impression of Smith. Profound, I recognized it after a little reminder.

The two shook hands very enthusiastically, and kept speaking English quickly.The management of the Asia Machinery Factory almost dropped their jaws in shock, and everyone was shocked: When did Secretary Niu learn a foreign language?And the level is still so high?There is no problem at all in communicating with foreigners!
Niu Xiaoqiang laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang Guangmao told me the day before yesterday that he would bring an old friend to see me. I thought about it for a long time but didn't know who it was. Only after meeting did I realize that the old friend he mentioned was you, Smith, you You don't seem to be having a good time for half a year, look at your skin, how did you get it like this?"

Smith sighed intentionally: "Oil was explored on a piece of land purchased by my father. I was transferred to work in the newly formed oil department. In order to convert the explored oil into banknotes as soon as possible, I had to supervise the whole process on the construction site." The construction is progressing, you should know the weather in Africa, even if I put on sunscreen, I couldn't resist the scorching sun, and it became what it is now in just three months."

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: Your family is really lucky. Mines have been dug out of the rented mountain, and oil has been explored on the purchased land. From now on, you can count money while lying down!By the way, why didn't I encounter such a good thing?

Some people are like this, they are luckier than others in everything they do, just like the Smith family, they are so lucky that they can easily become billionaires, and they are many times better than Niu Xiaoqiang, a poor and white entrepreneur.

After being dazed for a moment, Niu Xiaoqiang joked with a smile: "Congratulations, I didn't expect your family to expand into a new business so quickly. Oil is a strategic resource. As long as you have a high-yield oil field, you don't have to worry about anything in the future." , is really enviable."

Smith laughed twice: "The main purpose of my visit to China this time is to seek support for oil production equipment and technology. Although the equipment and technology in the West are better, they are very expensive. I don't think it's worth it. China also has It is a large oil field, and the relevant equipment and technology are relatively mature, but the price is very low, so I came here to investigate.”
