Chapter 102 Confidence
At noon, Xu Qiang went to the boiler room with a heated lunch box. As soon as he returned to the scrap station, he saw Wang Yongsheng and his gang waiting for him at the door.

"The position that Liu Tou arranged for you is a good one. This is where the gods stay. I wanted my leader to transfer me here before, but he didn't agree." After seeing Xu Qiang, Wang Yongsheng walked up and said with a smile.

"What's going on? Why don't you go to the cafeteria to eat?" Xu Qiang didn't expect this group of people to come here at noon.

"Don't you have everything with you, including the wine?" Wang Yongsheng pointed to the lunch box in the net bag carried by the little boy behind him and said to Xu Qiang.

"Qiangzi, how about this place? Are you used to it?" Xiao Gangpao also asked.

"You're asking nonsense. This place is definitely better than our workshop. Do you know who works here? They're all the boss' wives!" Wang Yongsheng was obviously familiar with this place. He continued, "Let's go to your room and have a drink. You guys can just leave it alone, right?"

"It's okay, come in." Xu Qiang said.

The next moment, Xu Qiang and Wang Yongsheng and their gang entered the yard of the scrap warehouse.

"Dasheng, why are you here?" Zhang Decai obviously knew Wang Yongsheng, so he greeted him.

Although the leaders have always disliked Wang Yongsheng, he actually has a good relationship with people in the factory. He sells cooked meat in the factory market all year round, so even if they don't have any dealings with each other, he can still make himself familiar to them.

"Nothing, just came to have a drink with my brother." As Wang Yongsheng spoke, he took out a Guanting and threw it to him, saying with a smile: "How about you come over and have a drink too?"

"Forget it, I can't drink that much." Zhang Decai waved his hands and said, "When you guys drink, keep your voice down. There are people sleeping next to you."

"Don't worry, we'll leave after we finish drinking." Wang Yongsheng said, and followed Xu Qiang into his office.

After entering the house, several people put up chairs and sat down. Xiao Gangpao opened the lunch box and a yellow paper package, revealing a roast chicken inside.

Wang Yongsheng and his gang usually live a very comfortable life, and their lives have become even more comfortable since they started to cooperate with Xu Qiang in business.

Bachelors like them who have not married off always live for the moment and spend most of their money on food, drink and entertainment. So except for Wang Yongsheng who has some savings for purchasing goods, the others are all living paycheck to paycheck.

"Eat!" Wang Yongsheng picked up the roast chicken without saying a word, tore off a chicken leg and put it in Xu Qiang's lunch box.

"Thank you." Xu Qiang thanked him upon seeing this.

"Among the people I know, you are quite capable." Wang Yongsheng took a sip from his wine glass and said, "You are the first frontline worker who can be taken care of by Liu Tou in this way."

"It's okay, maybe he sees that I work hard." Xu Qiang said with a smile.

"Come on, forget it. Everyone in the factory knows about your story. They say that you and Liu Tou went to the provincial government for a meeting some time ago and helped our factory win a technical transformation project. That's why you won the first prize in the military-to-civilian conversion activity, and you will also be promoted to a permanent position." Wang Yongsheng glanced at Xu Qiang and continued, "Those old guys in our workshop have basically worked for more than ten years and haven't been promoted yet. You've been working for less than a month, and you've won an award and been promoted. You don't know how jealous those old guys in our workshop are..."

"Yeah, Liang Baoguo, who said he would win the first prize for making sofas last time, hasn't come to work for several days." Little Cannon put in. "I'm just lucky. By the way, what are you going to do about the thing I told you last time?" Xu Qiang asked.

"I rode my bike to 9308 last night and had a drink with a buddy from a technical school. I talked to him about this and showed him our products." Wang Yongsheng lit a cigarette and continued, "He said he could help. There are a lot of people doing small businesses in their factory area now. He sometimes does small business too. He said he could help me sell a batch first to try. If it sells well, he can buy more goods..."

"That's great!" Xu Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Doing business these days is like walking on a tightrope. You need to be careful at all times.

Right now, Xu Qiang is in urgent need of expanding the production and sales of daily chemical products, because the peat field has been targeted. In order to keep the fertilizer business, Xu Qiang can only choose to cooperate with other villages to open a village-run fertilizer factory. This means that at least half of the profits from fertilizer production must be distributed. If the deal cannot be reached, he can only give up the fertilizer business temporarily. After all, safety comes first. Xu Qiang does not want to be reported for speculation and profiteering and face imprisonment because of this.

Since selling fertilizers is full of uncertainties, selling daily chemical products has become Xu Qiang's only breakthrough at present. However, the sales volume of the factory has always reached a bottleneck, so Xu Qiang needs Wang Yongsheng to expand a larger market.

It now seems that Wang Yongsheng is indeed capable. He has contacted friends in other production areas and joined the sales network of daily chemical products.

"I think your products can definitely sell well in other factories, so I want to purchase more goods from you. I wonder if your relative can bring more goods each time?" Wang Yongsheng asked.

"Of course there is no problem, but in this case, he can't carry so many things by himself. He has to hire someone to carry the goods, so the cost will be higher..." Xu Qiang said after hesitating for a moment.

“How much will it increase?”

"It's hard to calculate, but for one person to travel from Shanghai to our place, not to mention the labor costs, the travel expenses alone would cost an extra 100 to 80 yuan." Xu Qiang pondered for a moment, then said: "But as long as you buy a lot, I don't think it's necessary to raise the price."

Xu Qiang originally wanted to raise the price, but considering that Wang Yongsheng was expanding new sales channels, he temporarily gave up the idea.

You know, if the same product is a few cents more expensive, it will discourage some consumers, so now the only thing Xu Qiang can do is to make small profits but quick turnover.

But no matter what, Wang Yongsheng must accept this favor.

"That's great." As expected, Wang Yongsheng showed a grateful look, and then he said, "How about this, I plan to order another 3000 yuan worth of goods from you. If there is no problem, we can go to the bank to trade after get off work this afternoon!"

During this period, Wang Yongsheng made a lot of money by selling soaps and shampoos provided by Xu Qiang.

Although less than two-thirds of the last batch of goods worth 3,000 yuan has been delivered so far, with more than 1,000 yuan left to be delivered, Wang Yongsheng has basically recovered his capital. As for the remaining goods worth more than 1,000 yuan, it is pure profit!

It was precisely because of this that Wang Yongsheng had the confidence to continue to bet his entire fortune and wholesale the second batch of goods worth 3,000 yuan from Xu Qiang.

"That's great!" Xu Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he said, "I'll wait for you at the workshop door after get off work, and we'll go to the bank together!"
