Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Zhao Hu was choked by the guard and said, "I don't know who is right or left." He suddenly looked depressed. As a formal employee of a state-owned enterprise, Zhao Hu had some status. He had never been despised like this.

However, Zhao Hu also knew that this was someone else's territory. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local leader, let alone someone who is a local leader.

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

Li Weidong didn't take the sarcasm to heart.

The two of them followed the doorman's instructions and walked directly into the door.

"You're a bully! What's so great about a gatekeeper! You don't pay attention to people without giving them cigarettes! What kind of work attitude!" Zhao Hu said cursingly.

Li Weidong smiled: "Don't talk about others. When people come to us to repair their cars, don't they just pass them cigarettes respectfully?"

"Can you still laugh?" Zhao Hu snorted coldly, and then said: "By the way, where will the gatekeeper direct us? I haven't told you our purpose yet!"

"You'll know if you take a look. It's in front, the first room on the first floor." Li Weidong pointed to the building on the left.

It was a three-story building that looked very new, probably just built in the past two years.

"Our company is also going to build a new office building. I heard it is also a three-story office building. It will definitely be no worse than this one after it is built!" Zhao Hu said somewhat unconvinced.

Li Weidong didn't say anything, but walked directly in, turned into the corridor on the left, and saw a row of people standing in the corridor. And 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 goods, why did you direct us to the sales office?"

"That guard thought we were here to buy goods!" Li Weidong said, gesturing to the people in the corridor with his eyes, and then said: "Have you seen these people? They are all here to buy goods."

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

Li Weidong glared at Zhao Hu: "How about you go out and ask the gatekeeper where the return office is?"

"I won't go. It's easy for the King of Hell. The kid is difficult to deal with. I don't want to provoke that kid again." Zhao Hu paused and then said: "Besides, why is there a special return office!"

While the two were talking, a middle-aged man in his thirties came over.

"Are you two comrades here to buy goods too?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, we are from the Qingshui Regional Transportation Company." Li Weidong said.

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

"Local specialties?" Li Weidong was stunned for a moment, then said: "We really don't have any local specialties there. If you have to look for them, the chestnuts grown in our mountains are pretty good."

"It's just chestnut! People may not be able to appreciate it! Hey..." The middle-aged man sighed, and then 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 for the middle-aged man. Then he asked: "Brother, this is our first time."

Come on, tell me the secret here!"

The so-called cannibal has a short mouth. After the man took Li Weidong's cigarette, he could no longer hide it, so he said: "Little brother, since you asked, I will tell you the truth. Do you want to buy it from Red Star Factory?"

To get goods, it’s not enough just to have money, you have to bring some local specialties, and they have to be attractive to others.”

"So, if you come to buy their things, you have to give them gifts!" Li Weidong asked curiously.

"Isn't that right? The products of the Hongxing Factory are in such short supply. If you don't give them gifts, they will sell them to you? For example, at our Huai County Agricultural Tractor Factory, every time we come to pick up goods, we are not allowed to take two trucks of our specialty honey.

Orange!”

The middleman took a puff of cigarette and continued: "The tangerines we have are big, juicy and sweet, so the Red Star Factory is very fond of them. If they are chestnuts, they are not a rare thing in the first place. I guess the Red Star Factory is

Disliked."

"That's it. Thank you for reminding me, brother." Li Weidong said and looked at Zhao Hu next to him. Both of them felt that this return trip might not be so smooth.

In the early days of reform and opening up, the first priority of large state-owned enterprises such as Red Star Factory was to meet the production needs 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 brought to the market.

For sale on.

Rubber products are inherently in short supply and cannot be bought with money. Therefore, the products of the Red Star Rubber Factory are also in short supply. If you want to buy products from the Red Star Factory, giving gifts is a must. If the gift you give is not what the Red Star Factory wants,

They may not sell the goods to you.

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

It's just the icing on the cake.

And when the planned economy is completely abolished, these enterprises that are accustomed to ensuring harvests during droughts and floods and do not know how to compete in a market economy will often die.

…

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

A clerk in his twenties was sitting at the desk. He looked up at Li Weidong and asked directly: "Which unit are you from?"

"We are from Qingshui Regional Transportation Company." Li Weidong said and handed over the letter of introduction.

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

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

"Return?" The clerk at the sales office suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Weidong in confusion.

For the clerk, the word "return" is indeed very unfamiliar. He has been at the sales office for so long, and this is the first time he has seen someone returning something.

The products of the Red Star Factory have always been in short supply. If you can buy the goods from the Red Star Factory, you are already thankful. How could anyone return it!

After the clerk was in a daze for a few seconds, he said: "We are a sales office here, and we don't care about returns."

"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 service" meant. He shook his head: "Things are sold as soon as they are sold. I have never heard of any after-sales service."

"That's it, if you buy something that's not suitable and you want to return it, you must go to whoever you bought it from and go to whoever you bought it from. I bought the thing from your sales office, so of course I have to go to you to return it!" Li Weidong smiled.

said.

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

Looking at the confused clerk, Li Weidong said: "You can't make the decision on this matter, so why not ask your leaders to come over."

The clerk nodded, picked up the phone on the table, 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 black-rimmed glasses, he looks somewhat like an intellectual.

"Someone wants to return the goods? Who wants to return the goods?" The man with glasses started yelling as soon as he entered the door.

"This is Section Chief Liu of our sales office," the clerk introduced.

"I am Liu Xueqin, the sales section chief. Are you the one who wants to return the goods? Which unit are you from?" Section Chief Liu asked.

Li Weidong handed the letter of introduction to Liu Xueqin and said at the same time: "We are from the Qingshui Regional Transportation Company."

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

"Our company bought a batch of auto parts from you, mainly gaskets and rubber rings. The quality of these parts was not up to standard, so we had to return them." Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"The quality is substandard? That's nonsense! Our Red Star Factory is a national second-level enterprise. How can our products be of substandard quality?" Liu Xueqin stared at Li Weidong with a fierce look on his face, and then said: "You kid, you have such a mouth.

You don’t even have any hair on your head, are you here to cause trouble?”

Li Weidong pointed to the letter of introduction and said, "Section Chief Liu, do you think the troublemaker will have the letter of introduction from the unit?"

Liu Xueqin was slightly stunned. In those days, a letter of introduction was equivalent to a formal official document. It was really impossible for someone who deliberately caused trouble to come with a letter of introduction.

Li Weidong still had a smile on his face, and he continued: "We also know that the supply of Hongxing Factory's products exceeds demand. If there is no real quality problem, we will not be able to return the goods."

"Hmph! You said there is a quality problem, does that mean there is a quality problem?" Liu Xueqin snorted coldly, and then said: "It is impossible for the products of our Red Star Factory to have quality problems. Don't slander our Red Star Factory!"

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

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

"Chief Liu, can't you be accommodating? The goods will be returned to you, and you can sell them to others! Anyway, you don't have to worry about buyers for your products." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"I said I can't retreat, I just can't retreat!" Liu Xueqin said categorically: "If you continue to mess around, I will ask the security guards to kick you out!"

"If you don't give us a refund, don't give us a refund. Why yell at us to kill us? We also work for the government. There is no need for you to embarrass us two young people!" Li Weidong still had a smile on his face.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Li Weidong always smiled, and Liu Xueqin couldn't be rough with Li Weidong.

"Okay, I won't embarrass you. I'll just say one thing here. It's impossible to return goods. Don't waste your time here. Let's go!" Liu Xueqin waved his hand, ignored Li Weidong, and turned around to leave.

Sales office.

Looking at Liu Xueqin's leaving figure, Li Weidong did not look depressed. He still had a smile on his face, but this time, his smile seemed meaningful.
