The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 610: What kind of people are these?! (Seeking monthly votes)

"The Party Secretary must shoulder this responsibility!"

"Then let him take the blame. We've already reached an agreement, haven't we? This guy's probably been unhappy for a while now, since the Party Secretary makes the decisions in other factories!"

"After all, we've been working together for over a year. We can't just stand by and watch him fall into a trap, can we?"

"Dad, you have such a bad temper! If it weren't for me, you'd probably be eaten alive, not even bones!"

"What are you saying? Does it have to be so cold-blooded and ruthless?"

"Alright, at most we'll lend a hand when the secretary is down on his luck, that's all we can do!"

In the small office of the security department, Wu Aiguo said helplessly, "Don't interfere with other people's fates so easily. This is all we can do!"

"so be it!"

Wu Zhi smiled wryly. Who knew his partner would be so impatient?

Watching his father's somewhat desolate figure leave, Wu Aiguo pursed his lips and remained silent.

Last time he roared in the auditorium, and at the same time he threw out a big bait.

Who knew that the repair shop secretary would be so eager to take the bait?

Well, then you can't blame him.

They think they can get away with the apartments and dormitories built by the repair shop and make a profit for themselves? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Then, good news came from the Hong Kong tycoon, Fok.

Thanks to the popularity of the movie "Flipped," all one thousand couple bicycles delivered by the repair shop were sold.

At this time, the movie "Flipped" had already begun screening in Southeast Asia and other countries, and it also achieved remarkable box office results.

These days, where in Southeast Asia and among ordinary audiences have they ever seen such a refreshing and charming romance film?

It's full of childhood sweethearts and all sorts of misunderstandings, reminiscent of melodramatic soap operas from later generations. The only difference is the absence of car accidents, abortions, and studying abroad—but that's already novel enough.

Love stories of this era were still in the state of feudal parental oppression, with arranged marriages based on parental orders and matchmakers.

It's still the same old story of a male protagonist from a powerful family and a Cinderella-like female protagonist.

As for free love, it's still in the stage where the slogans are shouted loudly, but in reality, no one has actually made it into a movie.

In addition, the film also features the urban middle class, their busy yet relaxed lifestyle, and the most beautiful urban landscape of Hong Kong Island, which further attracts the attention and longing of young people.

In short, couple-style bicycles became a hit.

Although the price of over a thousand Hong Kong dollars per car was indeed a bit expensive for ordinary families at that time.

But for the wealthy, it's a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, Hong Kong Island, Southeast Asia, and even the small islands of Japan are not lacking in wealthy people.

Sure enough, Huo Daheng sent a telegram, placing an order for another 5,000 vehicles with the Gulou Repair Shop.

Ahem, they clearly stated in the telegram that they wanted Gulou brand couple bicycles!

"Director Qian, and Minister Wang, you have both seen the contents of the telegram. This is Mr. Huo's request!"

At the bicycle repair shop in Gulou, Wu Aiguo looked helplessly at the two middle-aged men in Zhongshan suits.

One of them was Director Qian of the mountain bike factory, who had previously suffered a major embarrassment in the Beijing industrial system.

The other one was a deputy leader in a higher-level industrial department.

They came together this time with the intention of securing orders for couples' bicycles.

To be honest, these two have absolutely no shame. They talk about 'concentrating resources on major tasks,' but mountain bike factories are responsible for exporting, so including couple-themed bikes in their manufacturing and sales is perfectly reasonable.

As for the trouble caused by the mountain bike factory, they didn't mention it at all, as if it never happened.

Director Qian also got the endorsement of higher-level leaders, putting considerable pressure on the bicycle branch factory.

Fortunately, Wu Aiguo happened to be inspecting the bicycle factory and took the opportunity to see what the security department was like.
As a result, this happened.

As the highest-ranking leader in the bicycle branch factory, Wu Aiguo naturally had to step forward.

Just then, the telegram sent by Huo Daheng also explained everything clearly.

He didn't hold back either. They've already pushed their luck, and if you still want to settle things peacefully, you'd be out of your mind.

Then, these two were proven wrong.

Huo Daheng's identity is special, and at this time he also has the important task of developing the European market. He is someone who can directly contact the top leaders.

No matter how unwilling Director Qian and the leaders of the higher-level industrial departments were, they could only temporarily abandon their ideas.

After they saw the couple's bicycles produced by the bicycle factory, their dissatisfaction grew even stronger.

At first, they thought that the couple's bicycle that Huo Daheng wanted this time was some kind of novel thing, but it turns out it was just like this.

Don't even mention mountain bike factories; any bicycle factory could produce them. Why should the Quanjiao Gulou Bicycle Branch Factory get all the good stuff?
Wu Aiguo saw it all, but had no intention of explaining.

Damn, couple's bikes do look simpler than mountain bikes.

The problem is, quality cannot be compromised at all.

If even the slightest problem arises, it will ruin the brand.

There's no need to tell these things to those two unwelcome guests.

Even if I explain it clearly, they probably won't take it seriously and will think I could do it too.

To reiterate, if the mountain bike factory's quality management system doesn't meet the standards, all their ideas are useless.

To this day, they still haven't realized the root of the problem.

I guess they thought Wu Aiguo used his personal connections to get this result.

Damn it, is this how you use "personal relationship"?

As the saying goes, "If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much." Before Wu Aiguo could even ask them to stay for dinner, the two of them made up some excuse and slunk away.

"Section Chief Wu, will there be any problems?"

The bicycle factory manager, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but speak up, saying with concern, "Judging from the expressions on these two faces, they don't seem very happy!"

Whether they're happy or not is none of our business.

Wu Aiguo glanced at the guy indifferently and said irritably, "Don't think too much. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up!"

"What the branch factory needs to do is to complete the production of 5,000 couple's bicycles with high quality and quantity, and avoid any mistakes in production and quality. That's what you need to do!"

After saying that, he did not accept the branch factory manager's invitation to stay for dinner and rode away on his bicycle. He wanted to tell his father, Wuzhi, about the matter as soon as possible.

Having developed to this point, Gulou Repair Shop can be considered a highly sought-after business by higher-level industrial departments. How could it not have accumulated some connections and networks?

If that's the case, then wouldn't all that time and effort have been wasted?
As long as Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi's biological father, doesn't make any mistakes and isn't targeted by anyone exploiting information asymmetry, no one can take advantage of the repair shop without paying a price.
