Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 14 No return

  Zhao Hu was choked by the guard "will not be divided", and his face was suddenly depressed. As a formal employee of a state-owned enterprise, Zhao Hu has a bit of status, and he has never received such contempt.

   However, Zhao Hu also knew that this was someone else’s territory. The so-called strong dragon did not crush the earth-headed snake, let alone the earth-headed dragon.

Li Weidong didn't take it seriously. When he went to RB as a trainee in his previous life, he was often discriminated against and bullied by RB people. Many trainees who went to RB with Li Weidong were even subjected to corporal punishment. A few words about the guard Li Weidong didn't care about cynicism.

  The two followed the instructions of the guard and walked directly into the gate.

   "Dogish things! What's so great about being a watchman! Don't give cigarettes and ignore people! What kind of work attitude!" Zhao Hu said cursingly.

  Li Weidong smiled and said, "Don't talk about other people. If others ask us to repair the car, isn't it also a respectful delivery of cigarettes?"

   "You can still laugh?" Zhao Hu snorted, and then said: "By the way, where is the janitor going to direct us? I haven't said our intention yet!"

  "Go and see, you will know, it's the front, the first one on the first floor." Li Weidong pointed to the building on the left.

  It is a three-storey building, which looks very new. It should have been completed in the last two years.

   "Our company will also build a new office building. I heard that it will also have three floors. After it is built, it will definitely not be worse than this!" Zhao Hu said somewhat unconvinced.

  Li Weidong did not speak, but walked directly in, turned into the corridor on the left, and saw a row of people standing in the corridor. On the door of the first room, there was a sign of "Sales Office".

  Zhao Hu also looked at the brand, and he whispered to Li Weidong: "We are here to return the goods, how did we direct us to the sales office?"

   "The guard thought we were here to buy the goods!" Li Weidong said, motioning to the people in the hallway with his eyes, and then said: "Did you see these people? They are all here to buy the goods."

   "But we are returning the goods!" Zhao Hu said more seriously.

  Li Weidong glared at Zhao Hu: "Or you can go out and ask the person who looks at the door, where is the return point?"

   "I won't go, the king is better off, the kid is difficult, I don't want to provoke that kid anymore." Zhao Hu paused, and then said: "Besides, how can there be a special return place!"

  The two were talking, and a middle-aged man in his thirties approached.

  "The two comrades also came to buy goods?" the middle-aged man asked.

   "Yes, we belong to the Qingshui area transportation company." Li Weidong said.

   "Do you have any specialties in Qingshui?" the middle-aged man asked again.

  "Local product?" Li Weidong was taken aback for a moment, and then he said: "We really don't have any local products. If you have to look for it, the chestnuts grown in our mountains are pretty good."

  "It's just chestnut! People may not be able to see it! Hey..." The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head.

Li Weidong felt that there was something in the middle-aged man’s words, so he took out a cigarette and handed it to the middle-aged man. Then he took out a match and lit it on the middle-aged man. Then he asked: "This old man, this is our first time. Come, tell me about the doorway inside!"

The so-called cannibal mouth is short, the man took Li Weidong’s cigarette, and he couldn’t hide it anymore, so he said: "Little brother, since you asked, I will tell the truth. You want to get from the Red Star Factory. To get the goods, money is not enough, you have to bring some local specialties, and others will be eye-catching."

   "According to that, to buy their things, you have to give them gifts!" Li Weidong asked curiously.

"No! Red Star Factory's products are so hot! If you don't give gifts, people will sell you things? For example, our Huaixian Agricultural Tractor Factory, every time you come to pick up goods, you must not take two carts of our specialty honey. Orange!"

The middleman smoked a cigarette, and then said: "Our tangerines are juicy and sweet, so the Red Star Factory can be seen. If it is a chestnut, it is not a rare thing. It is estimated that the Red Star Factory is I don't like it."

   "So that's the case, thank you for reminding me." Li Weidong said, and looked at Zhao Hu next to him. Both sides felt that this return journey might not have been so smooth.

  In the early stage of reform and opening up, large state-owned enterprises such as the Red Star Factory had the primary task of satisfying the production of the planned economy. All planned products must be handed over to the state. When the planned production tasks are completed, the re-produced products can be sold on the market.

  Rubber products are already in short supply, and they are not necessarily available for money. Therefore, the supply of Red Star Rubber Factory's products is in short supply. If you want to buy products from Red Star Factory, gifts are a must. If the gift you give is not in the heart of the Red Star Factory, they may not sell the goods to you.

  This is a unique phenomenon during the transition from a planned economy to a market economy. The planned economy guarantees the survival of enterprises and allows them to guarantee income from droughts and floods. Therefore, enterprises can ignore the laws of market economy and do not have to worry about competition. Selling unplanned products is just icing on the cake.

  At the moment when the planned economy was completely abolished, these companies that were accustomed to ensuring income from droughts and floods and did not understand how to compete in a market economy were often dead ends.

  ...

  Li Weidong and Zhao Hu waited for a full morning, and finally it was their turn to walk into the sales office.

  A clerk in his twenties was sitting at his desk. He looked up at Li Weidong and asked directly, "Which unit do you belong to?"

   "We belong to the Qingshui area transportation company." Li Weidong said and handed a letter of introduction.

  The young man did not read the letter of introduction, but directly asked: "What do you want to buy? How much?"

   "We are not here to buy things." Li Weidong paused, then said; "We are here to return the goods."

  "Return the goods?" The sales office clerk suddenly raised his head, looking at Li Weidong with a confused expression.

  For the clerks, the word "returned goods" is indeed very unfamiliar. He stayed in the sales office for so long and it was the first time he saw someone returning the goods.

  Red Star Factory’s products have always been in short supply. If you can buy them from Red Star Factory, it’s already thank goodness. How could someone return it!

  The clerk was in a daze for a few seconds, and then said: "We are the sales office here, regardless of the return."

   "Then do you have a department responsible for after-sales?" Li Weidong asked.

  The clerk pondered for a long time before he understood what “after-sales” meant. He shook his head: “When things are sold, they will be sold. I haven’t heard of any after-sales.”

"That's not enough. If you buy something that is not appropriate, if you want to return the product, you must come to whoever you bought it from. The thing is bought from your sales office. Of course you need to return it to you!" Li Weidong smiled Said.

  The clerk nodded in a daze. He felt that although Li Weidong's words were reasonable, there seemed to be something wrong.

  Looking at the clerk who was blindfolded, Li Weidong said: "You can't do this thing, it's better to ask you to lead over."

The clerk nodded, picked up the phone on the desk, dialed the internal number, and narrated the situation. After a while, the door opened and a chubby middle-aged man walked in. This man was in his thirties. Wearing a black-rimmed glasses, quite a bit of intellectual taste.

   "Someone wants to return the product? Who is it?" The spectacle man yelled as soon as he entered the door.

  "This is Section Chief Liu of our sales department." The clerk introduced.

  "This is Liu Xueqin, the sales section chief. You want to return the goods? Which unit do you belong to?" Section Chief Liu asked.

  Li Weidong handed the letter of introduction to Liu Xueqin, and at the same time said: "We are from the Qingshui area transportation company."

  Liu Xueqin took the letter of introduction, glanced at it, and asked proudly: "What are you returning? Why do you want to return?"

  "Our company bought a batch of auto parts from you, mainly gaskets and rubber rings. The quality of these parts is substandard, so they can only come back." Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"The quality is substandard? Nonsense! Our Red Star Factory is a national second-level enterprise. How can our products be substandard!" Liu Xueqin stared at Li Weidong with a fierce face, and then said: "You kid, mouth There is no hair on it, are you here to make trouble!"

  Li Weidong pointed to the letter of introduction, and said, “Chief Liu, do you think the troublemaker will take the letter of introduction of the unit?”

  Liu Xueqin was taken aback for a moment. At that time, the letter of introduction was equivalent to an official document, and it was really impossible for someone deliberately making trouble to bring a letter of introduction.

  Li Weidong still had a smile on his face. He went on to say: "We also know that the supply of Red Star Factory's products is in short supply. If it is not really a quality problem, we will not be able to return the goods."

   "Huh! Do you say that there is a quality problem, do you have a quality problem?" Liu Xueqin snorted, and then said: "Our Red Star Factory's products can't have quality problems. Don't slander our Red Star Factory!"

   "Okay, as long as you return the goods for help, give us the money, if there is any quality problem, your Red Star factory has the final say." Li Weidong said.

   "That's not okay, if I return the goods to you, doesn't it mean that the products of our Red Star Factory really have quality problems!" Liu Xueqin shook his head.

  "Chairman Liu, can’t you get around? Return the goods to you, and you can sell them to others! Anyway, your products don’t worry about buyers." Li Weidong said with a smile.

   "I said you can't withdraw, you can't withdraw!" Liu Xueqin said categorically: "If you continue to be savage, I will let the security guard drive you out!"

   "If you don't give it back, don't give it back. Why do you shout at us? We also work for the public. You don't need to embarrass us two young people!" Li Weidong still smiled.

  The so-called not hitting smiley people with one's hand, Li Weidong is always smiling, and Liu Xueqin is not good to be rough with Li Weidong.

"Okay, I don't make it difficult for you. I'll just say a word here. Returning is impossible. Don't waste your time here. Go quickly!" Liu Xueqin waved his hand, ignored Li Weidong, turned and left. Sales Office.

  Looking at the back of Liu Xueqin's departure, Li Weidong did not look depressed. His face was still smiling, but this time, his smile seemed meaningful.
