Signing the Contract, Reaching Cooperation

Chapter 34: Signing the Contract and Reaching Cooperation

This news shocked him, but at the same time, it presented a turning point.

If Lin Chenran's words were true, this might be an excellent opportunity for their Second Textile Factory to turn things around!

Thinking of this, a flicker of anticipation and excitement surged within Wu Changqing.

He pondered, if they could seize this opportunity and reach a cooperation agreement with Lin Chenran, it would undoubtedly be a major breakthrough for the Second Textile Factory, a true "rebirth."

Not only would it solve the current difficulties facing the Second Textile Factory, but it would also usher in new development opportunities.

After explaining everything in detail, the two parties began to chat.

"You're going to embark on the path of an International Speculator on a large scale?"

Wu Changqing was astonished.

The path of domestic speculation was already fraught with difficulties and dangers.

And now Lin Chenran actually intended to open up the "speculator's path" between China and Bear Country, which sounded like a fantasy.

Large-scale material exchange required immense backing and powerful resource support.

Otherwise, it would all be talk.

The approval process for permits and a series of related documents was exceptionally tedious and complex, directly barring 99% of people.

Currently, most "International Speculators" shuttling between the two countries were only engaged in small-scale transactions, and they did so stealthily.

They couldn't possibly engage in large-scale resale of goods all at once like Lin Chenran.

"This..."

Wu Changqing couldn't help but hesitate. In his impression, Lin Chenran didn't seem to possess the strength and resources to achieve this goal.

Then he thought again, Lin Chenran, at such a young age, could become the director of the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

His backing must be extraordinary.

Perhaps Lin Chenran truly had the ability to pave this "international speculator's path"?

"Director Wu, don't worry. You just need to prepare the mountains of light industrial goods in your warehouse. I will handle all the subsequent issues."

Lin Chenran leaned forward slightly, his hands on the table, looking at the person opposite him with firm eyes.

His voice was steady and powerful, inspiring a sense of security and trust.

"Also, our 077 Machinery Military Factory will pay you thirty percent of the payment upfront. After I return from Mao Xiong Country, I will settle the remaining payment."

Although Lin Chenran's tone remained calm, it carried an irresistible force.

Thirty percent of the payment was undoubtedly a godsend for the Second Textile Factory.

This money could help them resolve their immediate predicament, alleviate financial pressure, and allow the factory employees to receive their due wages, thus stabilizing morale and restoring production order.

This way, the Second Textile Factory could resume production of new clothing products and put them on the market.

Seeing Lin Chenran so sincerely propose the thirty percent upfront payment plan, Wu Changqing was filled with emotion.

He knew that cooperation with the 077 Machinery Military Factory was crucial for his factory. If successful, it would bring a turning point for the Second Textile Factory.

So, he decided not to hesitate and decisively accepted the proposal.

The most important point was that cooperating with the 077 Machinery Military Factory would allow them to leverage the other party's strength and resources to rapidly enhance the Second Textile Factory's competitiveness.

This would enable the Second Textile Factory to escape its difficulties faster and achieve profit growth.

Although there might be some risks involved, under the current circumstances, there was no better option.

As long as the 077 Machinery Military Factory existed, Wu Changqing wouldn't have to worry about Lin Chenran suddenly disappearing with the goods.

Because he knew that the profits the 077 Machinery Military Factory gained from the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle far exceeded the value of these goods themselves.

As the saying goes: "You can pick up the first of the month, but not the fifteenth."

He firmly believed that Lin Chenran wouldn't lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain.

"Picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons!!!"

Moreover, as long as he was careful with the contract, the risk would be significantly reduced.

It was settled!

"Thank you, Director Lin, and Old Song, for the strong support to our brother factory."

"Your great kindness will never be forgotten."

"All gratitude can be expressed in a glass of wine."

"I'll drink this, you all can take your time!"

Wu Changqing then downed the glass of white wine on the table in one gulp.

"Director Wu, you're being too formal," Lin Chenran said with a smile.

"From now on, we are all family!"

"Good, good, good!" Wu Changqing nodded excitedly, "With Director Lin's promise, I feel much more at ease."

Following this, Lin Chenran and the other two began to discuss the details of their cooperation in depth.

Wu Changqing watched the car carrying Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun leave, muttering softly, "Ah! It's good to be alive!"

"As expected of Lin Chenran, a cunning little fox."

Wu Changqing held a very high opinion of Lin Chenran.

He was worthy of being the director of the 077 Machinery Military Factory at such a young age.

His methods were seasoned and incredibly cunning!

Meanwhile, Lin Chenran, who had been pretending to be drunk, sat up straight. The flushed redness on his cheeks vanished instantly, as if his drunkenness had been a mere act.

He looked sharply ahead, seemingly contemplating something important.

After a moment, Lin Chenran slowly asked, "Old Song, what do you think of Wu Changqing?"

Song Xiyun frowned slightly and, after thinking for a moment, replied, "Overall, he gives me a good impression."

Lin Chenran nodded in agreement and continued, "Mm, I think so too."

"He doesn't have that kind of fake pretense, which I find quite satisfactory."

In Lin Chenran's eyes, the Second Textile Factory had already become something he was determined to acquire.

The next day, under the bright sunshine, Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun arrived at the Second Textile Factory precisely on time as agreed.

Their arrival attracted the attention of the factory workers, who began to speculate about the identity of this mysterious guest.

Wu Changqing, along with several high-level executives from the Second Textile Factory, was already waiting at the main entrance.

His gaze occasionally swept towards the distance, anticipating Lin Chenran's arrival.

Finally, with sharp eyes, he spotted a convoy of cars approaching in the distance.

A short while later, several cars came to a steady stop in front of the Second Textile Factory's gate.

The car doors opened, and Lin Chenran, Song Xiyun, and several high-level executives from the 077 Machinery Military Factory slowly alighted.

They were dressed in sharp suits, exuding confidence and composure.

Wu Changqing approached with a beaming smile, warmly greeting them, "Welcome, Director Lin and Old Song, to the Second Textile Factory for guidance."

"We have been eagerly anticipating your arrival!"

Lin Chenran responded with a smile, "Haha, Director Wu, there's no need for such formalities."

"Today, we are mainly here to understand the situation at the Second Textile Factory."

"We hope to work together to make the Second Textile Factory bigger and stronger!"

After some pleasantries, Wu Changqing personally led Lin Chenran and his entourage into the Second Textile Factory. Along the way, he provided a detailed account of the factory's current status and future plans, while also expressing his gratitude to Lin Chenran.

Lin Chenran listened attentively to Wu Changqing's report, occasionally asking questions and offering suggestions.

The entire tour proceeded smoothly, and both sides were left with a favorable impression of each other.

Next, they moved on to the point that Wu Changqing cared about the most and emphasized.

That was the matter of cooperation between the Second Textile Factory and the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

A subordinate executive from the 077 Machinery Military Factory took out a document from his briefcase and carefully handed it to Lin Chenran.
