Chapter 306 Inviting Gao Qianjin to appear
"To show off? Aren't the leaders of the Capital Rubber Company going over there?"

Xu Jichang did not agree immediately, but pretended to be puzzled and asked back casually.

There is no trivial matter in the business world. If even Li Chengjie's business partners are unwilling to stand up for him, then I probably won't be able to hire anyone for him.

It is better not to agree to something in the first place than to agree to something and then fail to do it.

Li Chengjie laughed: "I am currently in contact with them, I believe they will agree."

Xu Jichang understood as soon as he heard it: it turned out that the leaders of the Capital Rubber Company had not agreed yet. He was worried that the company would face a deserted situation when it opened, so he came to me and wanted me to contact a few more leading figures to support the factory.

The reason is simply that the spring breeze has not yet officially blown, and many leaders of public institutions dare not publicly support a foreign-funded representative office.

For Xu Jichang, it was not difficult to deduce the reason behind this.

But then, the next question arises.

“Is your representative office officially registered?”

Xu Jichang asked seriously.

Li Chengjie: ...

Well, looking at Li Chengjie's embarrassed smile and silent attitude, Xu Jichang knew the answer.

“Then this is a bigger problem.”

Xu Jichang spread his hands and said.

No matter what era it is, no one dares to endorse a company with no foundation, no reputation, and no business.

"I have no choice. I have tried several times, but according to the current policy, our company cannot be registered at all."

Li Chengjie said helplessly, "As long as there is a little hope, I will register."

"That's true."

Xu Jichang shared the same feeling, but he did not blame Li Chengjie for not telling the truth at the beginning.

Having experienced the difficulties in the early stages of starting a business, I can better understand Li Chengjie's current situation and cannot bear to blame him.

"Anyway, can you help me think of a solution?"

Li Chengjie continued to beg.

Xu Jichang thought for a moment and replied: "I'll try to help you. But don't hold out too much hope."

Li Chengjie saw Xu Jichang's sincerity and expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you so much. Regardless of success or failure, I have decided that you are my brother."

After leaving Li Chengjie's residence, Xu Jichang returned home and called Director Gao.

This time, there is no need to ask Du Xiaojing to find contacts for me. It is not good to use her connections frequently.

This time, I will not ask Director Gao for help for free, but offer him conditions that are attractive enough to tempt him.

After answering the call from Director Gao, Xu Jichang explained his purpose.

As he expected, there was silence on the receiver for a while and Director Gao did not give an immediate response.

The time has come to make the conditions.

"Teacher, I just introduced this company to you. It's a trade company. As long as you go there, all the materials from their place will be supplied by our Dongfang Fertilizer Factory."

"We definitely won't lose."

"Oh? Can you promise?"

"They just came to our country and were completely clueless. They relied heavily on me to introduce them to other customers. I can't guarantee the long term, but I can still be their boss in the next six months."

"Okay, half a year is enough. I'll go over after they open."

……

A few days later, Li Chengjie's trade representative office was decorated with lights and ready for opening. Many residents from the surrounding area came to watch the fun, and Li Chengjie and several of his family's old employees followed and ran around, distributing cigarettes and candies to the onlookers.

The cigarettes they distributed were very good, imported Marlboros, and the residents were very happy to get their hands on them.

Li Chengjie appeared to be smiling with his employees, but he was actually feeling bitter: on such a happy day, there were only him and his employees holding the scene, and not even a prominent figure was present.

Xu Jichang promised to help him find a solution, but he himself didn't show up. It looked like his plan was really doomed.

Just as Li Chengjie was dejected and passing cigarettes to the two old men who were watching, an employee whispered, "Boss, Manager Xu is here."

terrific!
Li Chengjie cheered and immediately turned around with a cigarette in his hand, and saw Xu Jichang leading a middle-aged man towards them.

Li Chengjie didn't know the middle-aged man, so he didn't greet him rashly. Instead, he put the cigarette in his pocket, walked forward with a smile on his face, and left the two old men behind with confused looks on their faces.

The two old men came to their senses and quickly caught up.

"Hey, hey, boy, where's my cigarette?"

"It hasn't been given to us yet."

On this side, Xu Jichang began to introduce the two parties: "Teacher, this is Li Chengjie from Malaysia, Boss Li."

"Boss Li, this is my teacher, the director and secretary of the Oriental Fertilizer Factory."

Li Chengjie felt a buzzing in his head: Wow, he actually helped me invite the head of the Oriental Fertilizer Factory?

Even though he had never dealt with it, Li Chengjie had heard of the Oriental Fertilizer Factory and knew that it was the largest state-owned fertilizer enterprise in Northeast China and one of the top two in the country.

"Hello, Director. I didn't know you were coming. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you. May I ask your name?"

Li Chengjie greeted him very humbly, and only dared to shake hands with Director Gao after he extended his hand.

"Gao Qianjin. I heard that your representative office has opened, so I came to take a look."

Gao Qianjin smiled slightly, and after Li Chengjie made a gesture to invite him in, he walked towards the representative office.

Li Chengjie's employees were making tea and bringing snacks, which had already been prepared inside.

After Gao Qian entered, he did not drink tea or eat snacks. He just had a brief chat with Li Chengjie to understand the main business content of the representative office and the situation of the shareholders behind it.

"The fact that you can open a representative office in Beijing shows that you have great confidence in the prospects for my country's economic development."

"I hope that in your future work, you can make more contributions to the progress of our country's trade and industrial development."

Gao Qianjin spoke calmly and made the appropriate statement as the leader of a large state-owned factory on such an occasion.

Li Chengjie naturally nodded yes repeatedly and kept expressing his determination.

After sitting in the house for a while, Gao Qianjin and Li Chengjie went out together to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

When Li Chengjie first met Gao Qianjin, he actually wanted to invite him to cut the ribbon with him, but after seeing that Gao Qianjin didn't even drink a cup of tea in the house, he gave up the idea.

The fact that they can come here is already a huge honor for you, so don't think too much about it.

Li Chengjie reminded himself and joyfully completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony amid cheers.

After the opening ceremony, Li Chengjie wanted to see Gao off, but he declined.

Xu Jichang didn't think it was strange. It was a risk for his teacher to come here.

"Teacher, do you think this representative office can make a splash?"

After saying goodbye to Li Chengjie, Xu Jichang asked Gao Qianjin.

Gao Qianjin nodded slightly: "Not bad, the young man at least knows his limits."

When Xu Jichang heard him say this, he knew there was a chance: "Okay, if the fertilizer factory needs anything imported in the future, I will help you contact him."
