Chapter 451 Embroidery Factory!
At around eight o'clock in the morning the next day, several staff members came to the gate of No. 67. A guard with a loaded gun saw the staff members getting off the jeep and immediately stepped forward and asked: "Comrade! Who are you looking for?"

When the middle-aged man in charge heard the guard's inquiry, he quickly took out his work ID and said politely: "Comrade! We are from the Ministry of Industry. We have made an appointment with Director Wu from the Business Division of your unit. Please." Please contact Director Wu for me."

After hearing the middle-aged man's self-introduction, the guard took the work permit from him. After taking a serious look at it, he handed the work permit back to the middle-aged man and replied with a serious look on his face: "Comrades! Please wait a moment. , I will help you contact Director Wu now."

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

Wu Aiguo, who was reading the report in the office, heard the phone ringing, instinctively reached out to pick up the receiver, and asked politely, "Hello! I'm Wu Aiguo, who is it?"

"Director Wu! A few comrades from the Ministry of Industry came to the door and said they have made an appointment with you." As soon as Wu Aiguo's voice fell, there was a polite report from the guards on the phone.

When Wu Aiguo heard the news from the guards, he immediately remembered the appointment he had made with Boss Kou yesterday, and quickly said to the guards: "Comrade! Please let the comrades wait for a while, I will come out right away."

When the security guard heard Wu Aiguo's words, he immediately replied rigorously: "Director Wu! I understand."

The security guard hung up Wu Aiguo's call for a while, then quickly walked out of the duty room and said to the middle-aged man at the head: "Comrade! Director Wu will be out soon. You guys can go to our duty room and sit for a while first." .”

The middle-aged man in the lead, upon hearing what the guards said, thought of the purpose of their trip, and politely replied: "Comrade! No need, we'll wait for Director Wu here."

After Wu Aiguo hung up the phone, he immediately packed up his things and walked quickly outside the office.

Wu Aiguo soon came to the gate of the unit. When he saw the three middle-aged men standing in front of the jeep, he immediately stepped forward and politely greeted the three of them: "Several comrades! Please wait for a while." Already!"

The middle-aged man in the lead, upon hearing Wu Aiguo's words, immediately realized that the young man in front of them was Director Wu they were looking for.

The middle-aged man heard Wu Aiguo's words and greeted Wu Aiguo politely: "Director Wu! Hello! I am Zheng Jianghe, deputy director of the Office of the Ministry of Industry. This is my colleague Lin Pin, and this is Zhou Huicheng, we are here specifically to accompany you to the factory for investigation."

Hearing Zheng Jianghe's self-introduction, Wu Aiguo reached out to shake hands with the three of them respectively, and said to Zheng Jianghe with a smile: "Director Zheng! Then I will trouble you for a few days."

Hearing Wu Aiguo's polite words, Zheng Jianghe thought of what Boss Kou had told him before leaving, and said to Wu Aiguo with a smile, "Director Wu! Our car is right there, let's set off now!"

Wu Aiguo heard Zheng Jianghe's words and replied with a smile: "Director Zheng! I have a car. You will lead the way later and I will follow behind."

At around nine o'clock in the morning, two cars drove into the Kyoto Embroidery Factory one after the other.

"Welcome! Welcome! Warm welcome! Welcome the leaders of the department to our embroidery factory to inspect and guide the work." The car stopped in front of the embroidery factory office building, and the leadership team of the embroidery factory came forward immediately. Warmly welcome everyone.

Seeing the leaders of the embroidery factory coming forward, Zheng Jianghe first shook hands with everyone one by one, and then introduced: "Director Qiu! Let me introduce you, this is Director Wu, who is in charge of exporting For trade work, we made a special trip to accompany him to the embroidery factory to investigate."

After Zheng Jianghe's introduction, he turned to Wu Aiguo and introduced: "Director Wu! Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Qiu Limei, the director of the embroidery factory. This is Comrade Ding Sihua, the deputy director. This is! "

Hearing Zheng Jianghe's introduction, Wu Aiguo politely shook hands with Qiu Limei and others, then smiled and said to Qiu Limei and others: "Director Qiu! I came to your embroidery factory this time mainly to see the female workers in the embroidery factory. Then, according to the actual situation of your factory, see if there is a way to update the products of the embroidery factory."

Qiu Limei heard Wu Aiguo's words and learned Wu Aiguo's specific purpose of coming. She quickly and respectfully said: "Director Wu! Then I will take you to the workshop to have a look now."

Wu Aiguo, Zheng Jianghe and others followed Qiu Limei and walked towards the workshop not far away.

Qiu Limei led the crowd into the workshop for a visit. While walking, she introduced to Wu Aiguo and others: "Director Wu! Director Zheng! All the products of our factory are embroidered by our workers by hand. The one-line embroidery is done by hand, so the output has not been very high.”

"When we were just exporting in the early days, each silk scarf in our factory could sell for five dollars, but since the year before last, the price of each silk scarf can only be sold for three and a half dollars, resulting in a significant reduction in the profit of the product."

Accompanied by Qiu Limei and others, Wu Aiguo visited several workshops in a row, took out a few drawings from his briefcase, and said to Qiu Limei with a smile: "Director Qiu! The craftsmanship of our factory workers is really good. There are a few drawings, let’s see if we can embroider them with our factory’s skills.”

Qiu Limei took the blueprint from Wu Aiguo, with a surprised expression on her face, she asked Wu Aiguo ecstatically, "Director Wu! Where did you get this blueprint? It’s so beautiful, if the product can be made according to the drawing, it will definitely sell.”

Wu Aiguo heard Qiu Limei's words, saw Qiu Limei's happy expression, and confirmed to Qiu Limei again: "Director Qiu! I don't know these patterns, can your factory make them into silk scarves?"

When Qiu Limei heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, she immediately nodded excitedly and replied: "Director Wu! Although the embroidery of these patterns is a bit difficult, with the skills of the female workers in our factory, there is no problem at all."

Wu Aiguo heard Qiu Limei's answer, and asked Qiu Limei: "Director Qiu! According to the patterns and specifications on these drawings, when will you be able to produce samples?"

Qiu Limei was originally a woman who was proficient in embroidery skills. After hearing Wu Aiguo's inquiry, Qiu Limei pondered for a while and said to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Our factory does not have raw materials of this specification and needs to arrange it separately. People will cut it, and it is expected that we will be able to produce the sample in three days."

Hearing Qiu Limei's answer, Wu Aiguo nodded subconsciously, and said, "Director Qiu! After the samples come out, you can directly contact Director Zheng."
