Chapter 397 Going to the Machinery Factory to Buy Equipment
Li Shengli solved Yan Bugui's problem very smoothly. Yan Bugui deserved it. He was scheming every day and now he is old and is being schemed by others. He might get sick at any time.
Li Shengli’s food factory is almost completed. All it needs now is a batch of equipment and the purchase of some raw materials.
For Li Shengli, seasoning spicy strips is not difficult. Although it does not involve high technology and hard work, Li Shengli knows a place that can perfectly meet his needs. That is the Food Research Institute in Sijiu City, which sells food additives that are not so harmful to the human body.
The most important thing is that Lee Seung-ri will have more cooperation with the Food Research Institute in the future. Lee Seung-ri knows a lot about the ingredients of some foods, but the formula of infant formula powder needs to be studied by this research institute. Lee Seung-ri has no way to deal with these things he doesn't understand.
Li Shengli first planned to visit the Red Star Machinery Factory, a subsidiary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, which had the machinery and equipment that Li Shengli needed.
Arriving at the gate of the machinery factory, Li Shengli went up to the gatekeeper and asked the old man who was responsible for selling the machinery. At the moment, the machinery factory's equipment had no trouble selling, as many private enterprises needed the equipment.
"Brother, let me ask you something. I need to come to your factory to buy some equipment. Who should I contact?" Li Shengli was stopped before he even entered the door. Li Shengli was not angry. This was a normal phenomenon. You have to register when you go to a larger factory.
"Then you have to find the sales department, they are responsible for these matters." The gatekeeper was not particularly old and was not yet at retirement age. It would be inappropriate for Lee Seung-ri to call him uncle given his age, so Lee Seung-ri did not call him uncle.
"Brother, how do I get to the sales department?" Li Shengli looked at the machinery factory and saw that it was not small. He thought it would be inconvenient for him to just go in and look for it. What if he was mistaken for a thief?
"Don't worry, wait here for a moment, I'll make a phone call." For people like Li Shengli who come to buy things, the doorman usually needs to call the sales department.
After hearing this, Li Shengli was not in a hurry and sat on the chair in the guard room and began to wait. Not long after Li Shengli waited, a man who was not very old and looked less than 30 years old came over.
"Lao Wang, where is the person who came to buy things?" The man started yelling as soon as he entered the door without even looking around.
Li Shengli knew from his character that this man had only been working there for a short time, and he was somewhat arrogant, which showed obviously that he was not a hard worker. People like him were spoiled by this state-owned factory.
Li Shengli just looked at the young man in front of him and asked the old man in the guard room impatiently.
"Why are you here? Where is your Director Zhao?" The security guard also looked at the young man strangely. It seemed that he was sent by his master to come and take a look.
Generally speaking, people like Li Shengli who come to the door usually don't have big money, and there is no commission in this state-owned unit at the moment, so these people don't care whether they can sell the things or not. Only when there are too many private things and the state-owned things can't be sold, affecting the benefits, will this group of people get anxious.
"Director Zhao is busy, let me take the person over." The young man was a little unhappy that this group of people just left these trivial matters to him.
"There's someone behind you." The guard glared at the young man unhappily.
He ran in in a hurry and shouted without even looking. The person was right behind him.
"Hey, why are you here?" The young man turned around and looked at Li Shengli and complained casually.
As a person who always treats others with kindness, Li Shengli did not care about the young man's attitude. He just stood up and extended his hand to the newcomer. "Hello, I'm here to buy some machinery and equipment."
Although Li Shengli's outfit cannot be said to be very high-end, his temperament makes it seem that he is not a simple person.
The young man was stunned for a moment and reached out to shake hands with Li Shengli: "I'm Miao Kangmin, a salesperson at the machinery factory."
"Let's go, let's talk in the office." The young man seemed to be shocked by Lee Seung-ri and felt a little embarrassed. After letting go of Lee Seung-ri's hand, he curled his lips and motioned Lee Seung-ri to follow him.
Li Shengli couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the people in this machinery factory knew someone. He remembered that he had eaten in the steel rolling mill before.
Along the way, a young man named Miao Kangmin began to ask Li Shengli what equipment Li Shengli needed to buy, with a hint of contempt for Li Shengli in his tone.
Lee Seung-ri was too lazy to argue with others. He had a lot of things to buy, and if the subsequent sales increased, he would have to add some equipment. These were all things that needed to be discussed. In fact, Lee Seung-ri had considered taking out a bank loan, but Lee Seung-ri had sufficient funds on hand, so he gave up this plan for the time being.
Miao Kangmin felt a little displeased when he saw Li Shengli's pretentious appearance with a smile but no words. He thought to himself, how could a person who came here to buy things be so pretentious? If nothing else, he should at least hand him a good cigarette at this time.
He still has the same mentality as before the reform and opening up, that is, I am awesome because I have something.
Li Shengli still ignored him. After all, it was the director who should discuss his business with him. Li Shengli was not afraid of offending the young man in front of him. He knew many people in this factory. It seemed that the director of the machinery factory had also eaten in his family's restaurant.
Miao Kangmin planned to rip off Li Shengli over the price of the equipment.
"Hey, Li Shengli." Just when Miao Kangmin was making disdainful comments about Li Shengli in his heart, a voice of greeting came from behind them.
Li Shengli looked curiously in the direction where the voice came from. The person who came was none other than Director Xie of the machinery factory. Li Shengli recognized him. He was a technician at the steel rolling mill and a college student. He was also well-known in the steel rolling mill.
"Thank you, Director. It's been a long time since we last met." Li Shengli smiled and greeted him. The two extended their hands and shook hands. This scene shocked Miao Kangmin, who was a little cautious. This man also knew the director? Fortunately, his idea of cheating people had not yet been realized.
"Master Li, what are you doing here?" Director Xie was very curious about what Li Shengli was planning to do in his factory. He knew that Li Shengli knew many important leaders.
"Well, I'm planning to open a food factory, so I'm here to buy some equipment." Li Shengli stated his purpose.
"It's a small matter. You also came from a steel rolling mill. Let's talk about it." Director Xie was also worried about the equipment in the factory. How could he not know if his employees didn't know? Equipment like this with low technical content had already been produced outside, and at the moment their scale was not very large and had not affected the sales of the machinery factory.
It's just that these people in my factory have too many problems. In addition, there is no problem with the quality of the factory's equipment, but the price is a bit high. So now many small business owners would rather buy cheaper equipment with lower quality than come here to suffer these people.
Director Xie had held a meeting to discuss this issue before, but these people continued to do as they pleased after the meeting.
