Chapter 679 Crying poor!

Xu Damao heard Director Zhang's invitation, walked into Director Zhang's office, and said to Director Zhang with a smile: "Director Zhang! I blocked Wu Aiguo in the courtyard this morning and told him that you wanted to treat him to dinner. matter."

"Oh! Projectionist Xu! Did Director Wu agree?" Director Zhang heard Xu Damao's introduction and asked Xu Damao expectantly before Xu Damao finished speaking.

Facing Director Zhang's inquiry and seeing the expectant expression on Director Zhang's face, Xu Damao replied with a proud face: "Director Zhang! Aiguo did not agree to your invitation, but he said that he can let me take the lead. He will ask you to go to his unit and arrange for someone to talk to you about the equipment your textile factory wants to purchase."

The reason why Director Zhang wanted to invite Wu Aiguo to dinner was not only to purchase equipment, but also for the main purpose of getting closer to Wu Aiguo through the opportunity of dinner.

Director Zhang heard the situation introduced by Xu Damao. Although the results were somewhat different from what he expected, he still thanked Xu Damao very happily: "Projectionist Xu, you have helped our factory a lot this time. On behalf of our textile factory, I Thank you!"

Director Zhang's thanks greatly satisfied Xu Damao's vanity, and he said to Director Zhang with a proud look on his face: "Director Zhang! This is just a small effort, so don't be polite to me."

Director Zhang heard Xu Damao's answer and smiled and said to Xu Damao: "Projectionist Xu! This kind of thing should happen sooner rather than later. How about we go to the Trading Department now and talk to the Trading Department about purchasing equipment?" matter."

When Xu Damao learned of Factory Director Zhang's decision, he immediately replied: "Director Zhang! You are right. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. Moreover, Aiguo also said when he went to work that he would be at the Trade Department this morning. Wait until we get there."

Director Zhang heard the situation introduced by Xu Damao. He immediately picked up his briefcase and walked out of the office. He said to Xu Damao: "Projectionist Xu! Let's call Xiao Zhao first, and then take a car to the Trading Department."

At about 9:40 in the morning, the jeep of the textile factory stopped at the entrance of the Trade Department. After Xu Damao got off the car, he looked at the guards standing in front of the gate, immediately walked forward quickly, and introduced himself politely: "Comrade! Hello! I am a projectionist at the steel rolling mill. I live in the same compound as Director Wu of the Trade Department. I made an appointment with Director Wu this morning. Could you please help me contact Director Wu. "

When the security personnel heard Xu Damao's self-introduction, they did not contact Xu Damao immediately. Instead, they said to Xu Damao with a serious face: "Comrade! Please show me your work permit."

When Xu Damao heard the request made by the security personnel, he thought about the security level of the steel rolling mill and thought to himself: "I didn't expect the security of this trading department to be so strict?"

After thinking about it in his heart, Xu Damao still followed the security guard's request and took out his work ID card from his jacket pocket and handed it to the security guard standing in front of him.

When the guard saw the certificate handed over by Xu Damao, he took a serious look at it first. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the certificate, he handed the certificate back to Xu Damao and said, "Comrade! Please wait a moment, I will help you now." Contact the Trade Department and someone will come out later to invite you in."

Just as the security guard went to the security room to make a phone call, a jeep stopped next to the jeep in the textile factory. A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit sitting on the jeep saw the jeep from the textile factory and said to himself in confusion: "Isn't this the jeep from the textile factory? Why is it here? Xiao Wang! Get out of the car and ask, what is the textile factory doing here?"

The young man sitting in the back, after hearing the middle-aged man's instructions, immediately opened the car door and walked quickly to the jeep of the textile factory. When he saw Director Zhang and others sitting in the jeep, he looked at them with confusion. Director Zhang asked: "Director Zhang! Why are you here?"

When Director Zhang saw the young man walking to the car door, he immediately showed a surprised expression on his face. He quickly opened the car door and replied enthusiastically: "Director Wang! What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. , We came to the Trade Department this time to see if we can purchase a textile equipment similar to a cotton spinning mill through the Trade Department."

Director Zhang's words were introduced here, and he suddenly saw a middle-aged man sitting in another jeep. He immediately walked quickly to the jeep and greeted him respectfully: "Director Liu! Good morning! I didn't expect this. Will meet you here.”

Since the two cars were parked not far apart, Director Liu could clearly hear everything that Director Zhang had just said to Secretary Wang.

When Director Liu heard Director Zhang's greetings, he asked Director Zhang in an approachable manner: "Xiao Zhang! You are really capable. When purchasing equipment, you bypassed the municipal bureau and went directly to the Trade Department."

Director Zhang heard Director Liu's question and quickly explained: "Director Liu! We have submitted an application to the municipal bureau. The Procurement Department said that the bureau has insufficient funds. If we want to purchase equipment, we need to find a way ourselves. .”

"Yesterday, projectionist Xu from the steel rolling mill came to our factory to show a movie. During this period, he happened to mention the Trade Department. Projectionist Xu told me that he and Director Wu of the Trade Department are neighbors who live in the same compound, so I just wanted to take advantage of Projectionist Xu’s relationship to try my luck at the Trading Department.”

When Director Liu heard Director Zhang's words, he showed a surprised expression on his face, and said to Director Zhang with a smile: "Xiao Zhang! I didn't expect you to find such a relationship, but I have to say something ugly up front, our bureau's funds I’m really nervous. If you want to purchase equipment, don’t ask the bureau for money.”

According to Director Zhang's plan, he first went to the Trade Department to pave the way and determine the specific price of purchasing equipment, and then went to the Industrial Bureau to cry out for poverty and try to find a way to get a sum of funds from the Industrial Bureau to reduce the factory's purchases. burden.

Now that Director Zhang’s plan has not been put into action, Director Liu directly cut off his idea. This made Director Zhang feel extremely aggrieved, and he quickly cried to Director Liu; "Director Liu! This year our textile factory But we have completed 100% of the bureau’s tasks. Now that we want to increase production, the bureau must give us some support!”

Director Liu saw Director Zhang crying in front of him and was completely unmoved. He replied seriously: "Xiao Zhang! I know more or less how much money is in the treasury of your textile factory. You Don't cry poor in front of me, kid."

"That's Xu Damao! Our director asked me to invite you in." Just as Director Liu finished speaking, a staff member walked out of the courtyard and asked the people standing in front of the gate with a puzzled look on his face. road.
