Fang Youcai quickly signed the agreement with Li Junsheng and issued him a letter of introduction with all the necessary seals.
Li Junsheng was genuinely delighted!
The first step in his legitimate business plan was accomplished, and it went smoothly, a promising start.
Holding the agreement, Fang Youcai probed Li Junsheng, "Brother Li, you're here to contract the agricultural machinery factory's workshop. Is the machinery factory planning something big? Like borrowing our workshop to produce something?"
Tang Liang was also curious. Wasn't his future father-in-law just an ordinary worker at the factory?
How could he be in charge of such a big deal?
Li Junsheng put away the letter of introduction and explained to Fang Youcai, "It's kind of like that. The machinery factory has a lot of defective products, obsolete equipment, and scrap materials."
"Shipping them to the state-owned recycling station wouldn't even cover transportation costs. Not dealing with them would be problematic. So I thought about contracting the factory's workshop to recycle and reprocess these defective products, obsolete equipment, and scrap materials."
"Then sell them properly to help the machinery factory recover funds, avoid losses, and solve the scrap material disposal problem. That's why I came to sign a cooperation agreement and contract a workshop!"
"Hanging this workshop under your Production Supply Department is fine. When those defective products are brought over to be reprocessed, it will indeed involve production and supplying goods."
Li Junsheng wasn't deceiving Fang Youcai. He was genuinely helping the machinery factory solve problems.
He would also need the agricultural machinery factory's workshop!
Hearing Li Junsheng's explanation, Fang Youcai nodded repeatedly, realizing Li Junsheng was extraordinary!
He was clearly not just an ordinary old worker. Being entrusted with this responsibility meant he was trusted by the factory leadership.
Who would have thought that they would get such a lucky break!
Being able to cooperate with the city's machinery factory was a great opportunity for the agricultural machinery factory.
If Li Junsheng succeeded, it would enhance the agricultural machinery factory's reputation!
Not to mention the profits Li Junsheng would bring to the agricultural machinery factory.
"So that's what it is! Helping the machinery factory is also an honor for us. I wish our cooperation goes well."
Fang Youcai was delighted and shook hands with Li Junsheng.
No wonder he dared to take responsibility for profits and losses - he had the machinery factory backing him!
Moreover, regarding those defective products and scrap materials.
Even if they were defective, they were made of copper or iron - valuable materials!
Just reprocessing them into something else and selling them would recover the costs. How could there be any risk of loss?
"I understand why Uncle Li made the trip to town!"
"Hey, Brother Li, have you and Xiaoliang eaten yet? Since Brother Li came today, I must treat you to a meal!"
Fang Youcai thought that since Li Junsheng had come all this way, he needed to keep him here and invite Tang Liang's parents.
Meeting both sides would leave a good impression on Li Junsheng, ensuring Tang Liang and Li Xiaoyu's relationship remained stable.
Unexpectedly, Tang Liang replied to Fang Youcai, "Uncle, we had already eaten before coming. Uncle Li treated me to a nice restaurant!"
Li Junsheng not looking down on his nephew from the countryside genuinely surprised Fang Youcai.
He couldn't help but scold his nephew, "You boy, how could you let Uncle Li spend money on you? Next time, that's not allowed. As the younger generation, you should be the one to treat Uncle Li to a restaurant!"
Tang Liang scratched his head, feeling guilty, truly honest and straightforward.
If Tang Liang's parents were also this honest, Li Junsheng thought marrying his youngest daughter to him would be fine!
Successfully obtaining the letter of introduction and a legitimate identity, Li Junsheng sat with Fang Youcai for a while before preparing to return to the city.
Tang Liang had to work at the factory tomorrow and would also return with Li Junsheng.
Fang Youcai, seeing Li Junsheng about to leave, insisted that his wife bring out plenty of free-range chickens and homegrown grains and fruits.
He wanted Li Junsheng to take these as a thank you for fixing the equipment and taking care of Tang Liang!
Li Junsheng tried to refuse, but Fang Youcai was too热情. When Li Junsheng wouldn't accept, Fang Youcai forced them into Tang Liang's hands, making him carry them.
In the end, Li Junsheng came with gifts and left with even more!
Li Junsheng took the bus back to the city with Tang Liang, finding everything along the way pleasant.
The hardest first step of his plan was accomplished smoothly, making the next two steps of legitimate business easier!
The city bus was crowded. Midway through the journey, an elderly woman boarded. Seeing she had no seat, Tang Liang stood up and offered his seat to her.
The more they interacted, the more Li Junsheng felt this kid was genuinely good!
After getting off the bus, Li Junsheng patted Tang Liang's shoulder and praised him, "What a Lei Feng spirit, young man! Next time you come to our house for dinner, don't feel like a guest, and don't bring so much stuff."
Tang Liang was so happy he couldn't close his mouth.
"Okay, Uncle! Should I take these things to your place?"
Li Junsheng shook his head, "I don't want these. Take them back to your dormitory. Use the factory's boiler to treat Xiaoyu to a better meal. Otherwise, if I take them home, she won't get to eat them!"
Li Junsheng didn't care about these chickens, just worried about his youngest daughter being too thin. He wanted her to eat more, and he wasn't lacking in meat.
"You're really good to Xiaoyu!"
Tang Liang also knew Li Junsheng's current family situation was complicated. Xiaoyu's mother didn't treat her well, but fortunately, his future father-in-law cared for her.
"You go back to the textile factory and try to get promoted from temporary to permanent. I have high hopes for you!"
Tang Liang nodded, taking the things from his uncle to give Xiaoyu a better meal.
Li Junsheng didn't rush home but took the letter of introduction from the agricultural machinery factory to meet Chief Zhou!
Having met the girl he liked, it was time to earn money quickly!
Li Junsheng estimated that Chief Zhou should still be at the factory at this time.
So he went straight to the machinery factory, knocked politely on Chief Zhou's office door.
"Come in!"
Chief Zhou's voice rang out. Li Junsheng pushed open the door and saw him reviewing some documents.
Chief Zhou turned around, surprised to see Li Junsheng!
At this time, he instinctively felt it couldn't be good news.
Startled, he quickly stood up, pulled Li Junsheng into the office, glanced around to make sure no one had seen Li Junsheng looking for him, then cautiously closed and temporarily locked the office door!
Li Junsheng raised an eyebrow, surprised by Chief Zhou's guilt.
Look at that - this is why legitimate business is important. He didn't need to be as nervous as Chief Zhou!
Chief Zhou turned around and coldly asked Li Junsheng, "Why did you come at this time? What do you want?"
