Going to the countryside in the Northeast, educated youths became popular in the village with embroi

Chapter 427 Conditional

The tall guy was quite embarrassed. He looked at Ning Jiandong with an expression that clearly showed he was asking for help.

Ning Jiandong was almost mad with anger, but the person who caused the trouble didn't know how to solve the problem and had to ask him for advice.

"What are you looking at me for? Apologize."

The tall man suddenly realized what had happened, and hurriedly apologized to Yi Chichi, explaining, "Niece, I didn't mean to scare you or make you work in vain. It's just that what happened today made me so angry."

"I'm telling you..."

"Feel sorry!"

Seeing that he was about to start a long speech complaining, Yi Chichi quickly interrupted him and said, "Don't tell me about work."

To be honest, she is just an ordinary embroiderer who also works as a drawing tool part-time.

Things like orders, channels, and competition that need to be on the table are really not suitable for her to listen to.

Therefore, running away is the best option.

Yi Chichi is a person of action. Having made the decision, she decisively stepped out and closed the door of the meeting room.

A door separates the indoor and outdoor worlds into two.

Ning Jiandong and others in the room looked at the closed door and continued the unfinished meeting after a long silence.

Yi Chichi returned to the office and started over diligently.

I am grateful for the special nature of the Friendship Store, which not only has electric lights, but also table lamps.

Even when night fell, it had no effect on her vision.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, just when she drew out the design and prepared to refine and color it, Ning Jiandong and his team's meeting ended.

Most of the people who participated in the meeting had left, but Ning Jiandong and the other five had not left yet.

They still have things to talk about.

When I arrived at the door and was about to come in, the tall man who was swaggering in front of me suddenly stepped back.

Ning Jiandong and the others, "???"

"you……"

"Shhh."

The tall man lowered his voice and whispered, "Let's go to another place. Comrade Xiaoyi is busy working, and we will disturb her if we go in."

Gu Xinghua leaned over to take a look, and Yi Chichi, who was working at his desk, didn't even raise his head. It was obvious that he was too immersed in the work and didn't notice the noise they made.

The group of five people left and did not go anywhere else, but went to the finance office opposite to discuss business.

"So the order was given to the textile factory just like that?"

The tall guy was very upset about this. He was the one who brought the client here and negotiated the order, but now he was asked to give it up to someone else. No one would be able to accept this.

Gu Xinghua and the others all looked at Ning Jiandong. Ning Jiandong, who was stared at, said that he was helpless as well.

"The key to this matter is not me, it depends on what the higher-ups think."

Besides, even if he could make the decision, he would give up the order.

As for the reason, it is simple: Friendship Store does not have the ability to accept large orders.

"Lao Gao, you have to figure out our position!"

The tall man, Gao Changqing, frowned, "I know what our position is, but that's not a reason for us to give up the order. They are all political achievements. Are you willing to just give it up like this, Old Ning?!"

"Not reconciled!"

Ning Jiandong spoke the truth, "So I plan to talk to Comrade Shi when I hand in the design drawings tomorrow morning."

"How sure are you?"

"It's big."

He smiled and said, "The textile factory and we have a long-term cooperative relationship. Comrade Zhu Ping'an knows his limits."

Zhu Changkun is the director of a textile factory and a retired military cadre. He is a very tough and law-abiding person.

The reason why he wanted to intercept this time was probably because he was forced into a corner.

Thinking of this, Ning Jiandong looked at Gao Changqing and asked, "Did you see Lao Zhu at the meeting today?"

"Saw!"

Gao Changqing nodded, "Old Zhu is running around the place looking for machines. He wants to make technological innovations."

This topic makes people silent.

The words "technological innovation" are easy to say but very difficult to do.

If the equipment cannot keep up, no matter how many ideas you have, they are all useless, unless you spend a lot of money to buy foreign machines.

But due to poverty, there are too many factories waiting to be upgraded.

Compared with the textile factory, Machinery Factory 1, Machinery Factory 2, Shipbuilding Factory and other factories are the top priorities.

No one who works in finance is not sensitive to money. Lin Qingyue is also a finance person. She subconsciously calculated the account in her mind, and then sighed, "Director Zhu is in a difficult situation. His technological innovation still has a long way to go."

Ning Jiandong sighed, "We are still too poor."

Everyone sighed, they were indeed poor.

I am so poor that I wish I could spend three years new and three years old, and then three years mending it.

"Let's make money!"

Hearing what Gu Xinghua said, Lin Qingyue said unhappily, "Money is not that easy to come by. We don't have many valuable things, and most of the things that can be sold are valuable."

Having said that, she couldn't help but glance across the street, where the people making money by embroidering were still working hard.

"Comrade Yi's embroidery is really valuable."

However, the output was too low.

"Master Qiu's are not bad either."

There is a little gap compared with Yi Chichi.

"Manager, do you want to talk to Comrade Yi about increasing production?"

Ning Jiandong was shamefully moved, but he wasn't very optimistic.

It's really too time-consuming for Yi Chichi to embroider.

But I decided to give it a try.

"Talk to her when she's done."

She originally didn't have much hope, but when Yi Chichi talked to her about it after he finished his work, she actually agreed immediately.

She responded so readily that the people who had been staying with her after finishing their business were all stunned.

"You, you agree?"

Ning Jiandong couldn't believe it, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

What an unexpected surprise.

“On condition!”

Yi Chichi's tone was very calm, and the corners of Ning Jiandong and the others' upturned mouths drooped again.

"You tell me first."

Are you going to raise the price again?!

Several people were extremely nervous, but they didn't expect Yi Chichi to speak immediately, "Screens and large ornaments should be replaced with small-sized fans, small ornaments, handkerchiefs and the like. In addition, double-sided embroidery should be replaced with single-sided embroidery. If you can meet my requirements, thirty works a year will not be a problem."

But the total price of all these is not as much as the foreign exchange you can earn from one big item.

Ning Jiandong finally understood that there was no hope of increasing production by relying on her.

"You should do double-sided embroidery or three-sided embroidery."

Yi Chichi smiled and said, "You don't want me to increase the number?"

"No."

I can't ask for anything, not even a little bit.

"How about you train a few more Suzhou embroidery masters?"

“Yangcheng is not the base of Suzhou embroidery.”

The advantage of Suzhou embroidery is Guangdong embroidery. "Instead of expecting me to bring out a few more Suzhou embroidery masters, you should expect Master Qiu and his Guangdong embroidery to be even better."

This means rejection.

Gu Xinghua winked at Ning Jiandong, and it seemed that Zhuo Xuezhen’s plan was completely hopeless.

Ning Jiandong got what he meant and smiled meaningfully. He didn't intend to hand the daughter of the Zhuo family over to Yi Chichi from the beginning.

"Okay, you go and rest."

After packing up the drawings, Ning Jiandong asked everyone to leave.

It was now midnight and going home was impossible.

So, several people lived in the dormitory together.
