Chapter 167 Did you eat garlic at noon? [4000]

"Boss Lu, I heard that you have a female army under your command. Is it true?"

"Yes, I want to take a look too. Boss Lu, don't you mind?"

"Me, me, me, Director Du, Section Chief Jia, and Boss Lu, I want to go over and take a look. I promise not to disturb you."

"You guys go first, I'll catch up on my bike, haha..."

……

After Lu Yang finished talking with Director Du and Section Chief Jia, they were ready to enter the market in the afternoon.

Director Du called.

The market management readily agreed and said that they only needed to send someone to get the key, and they would accompany the whole process. They were so considerate that even the market’s security guards would come to work a day earlier.

Originally, everything would be fine if we came here.

Lu Yang was also preparing to say goodbye. He had no intention of inviting the two leaders to go over and take a look.

After all, they are busy.

There are so many people outside, waiting to be summoned by these two leaders.

But suddenly, at this moment, Leader Du remembered something and asked Lu Yang if there would be any other arrangements this afternoon besides delivering the goods, such as sales. With so many people, wouldn't they need to go to their posts first and check out the place, so as to avoid being in a rush tomorrow and not being able to find their own position?

Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.

The market will officially open and start business after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

There is actually not much time left for vendors setting up stalls.

Of course, if it is a small vendor or a family workshop with not much goods, and at most a large tricycle or a cart to pull all the goods over, then you just need to get up early in the morning, and you may even have time to watch the excitement of the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

But for a big factory like Lu Yang, who has about 200 people under him and a dozen or twenty stalls, if he doesn't make arrangements in advance so that everyone knows where they should stand, and then wait until tomorrow to deal with the problem, he will probably be busy just to make sure these 200 people don't go to the wrong place and stand in the right position.

Lu Yang laughed out loud: "As expected, great minds think alike. What Leader Du said is exactly what I thought. Leader, rest assured, I have arranged it. We just need to get the key here and make a phone call back. They will immediately arrange for someone to load the clothes onto the truck. Not only will they bring the clothes over, but also the workers in the factory will come over.

At that time, everyone should first familiarize themselves with the environment, find everyone's position, and do a pre-sale, so that there will be no rush tomorrow, and ensure that the tasks assigned by the leadership are completed successfully, and the event site is vivid and exciting without any mistakes. "

Leaders love to hear this.

Director Du's face, which had been as serious as an iron lady, suddenly beamed with joy.

"So you've thought it through."

"No, I'll go over and take a look too. Boss Lu, your Meister Garment Factory is now the top private enterprise in our county. You're entering the market ahead of schedule today. As the director of the county investment promotion office, it's a bit unreasonable for me not to go there in person to take a look. Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"

The middle-aged woman suddenly changed her tone and said to Section Chief Jia, "How about this, Section Chief Jia, you stay and greet these people outside, and I'll go with Boss Lu to take a look and get to know the workers in Boss Lu's factory. There are hundreds of sewing women workers, and many of them should be mothers, right?"

"That concerns the livelihoods of hundreds of families and thousands of people. Boss Lu has solved a major employment problem in our county!"

"I think private enterprises should not only be encouraged, but also vigorously promoted. After I meet the female workers in Boss Lu's factory, we will hold a meeting to study this matter and try to produce a document to report to the county party committee. We must proceed from the actual situation and support the county party committee's proposal to vigorously promote reform and opening up."

"Chief Jia, what do you think?"

It was obvious that he just didn't want to bother with these people outside and wanted to get rid of the blame, so he followed Lu Yang to watch the fun.

But what the director said was irrefutable and his meaning was profound.

"It's a high-rise building!"

"That's a good point, Director."

"Please rest assured, Director. I will definitely take care of the office. I will take care of those people outside."

Section Chief Jia quickly expressed his loyalty.

He was smiling so kindly that if he was a second late, it would seem like an oversight on his part.

This also made Lu Yang look at him strangely. It was rare to see the second-in-command flatter the first-in-command in the same unit.

I thought to myself: It seems that this female leader is not simple!

Whatever.

Since you want to go along and watch the fun, just go along.

Lu Yang doesn't have any shameful secrets.

This garment factory, in particular, was run in a grand and glorious manner, like a poverty alleviation project. Anyone who understands the mechanism here would have to give it a thumbs up: good job.

When this mechanism becomes known in the future, everyone in Zhao County will follow his example, and small workshops will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

Then he will be the founder of private enterprises at the beginning of Zhao County’s reform in the future.

Maybe it can even be written into the county annals.

Of course, it’s a bit early to say this now. When they left the office, some small bosses waiting outside were well-informed and soon found out that Lu Yang had obtained an early admission ticket.

We're moving in the afternoon.

No, in the afternoon we will arrange for the factory to send over a batch of clothes that will be used for the activities in the next few days.

Hundreds of thousands of sets.

I also heard that the director would go with them. Besides clothes, the workers from Boss Lu's factory would also come to check out the place. There were hundreds of them, all young girls and wives from the countryside, wearing the same uniform, with their white arms exposed...

That excitement.

They all clamored to go over and see what was going on.

Of course, they won't admit that they are perverts.

They would only say in a great and glorious way: We are all learning from Boss Lu.

What is there to learn?

Lu Yang didn't bother to pay attention to them, and directly said to Gong Pingan who was already sitting in the driver's seat in the front row: "Ping'an, drive."

Not a single one.

The car following behind Lu Yang was an old Santana. Lu Yang had ridden in it once before. It belonged to the county investment promotion office. After Director Du, the female leader, got in, she also imitated Lu Yang and said to the driver: "Drive and follow."

Not a single one.

There was no other choice but for these bosses to try their best.

They came in tractors.

Some came on tricycles.

Came here on a 28-inch bicycle.

What’s even worse is that there are people who come with carts. They probably just happen to be delivering goods and come here to ask for free money and join in the fun.

Now that even the director has left, although Section Chief Jia is the section chief, everyone who knows him well knows that he is a weakling and cannot be the boss of the county investment promotion office. So everyone looks at each other and decides to catch up and take a look. What is Lu Baiwan's basis?
Be able to create a gap with them.

On what grounds?
To be treated specially by the director of the county investment promotion office.

Is it a real cow or a fake cow?
We'll know the answer soon.

What are these people thinking? Only they themselves know.

Of course, in addition to those who want to curry favor with Lu Yang, there are definitely people who are jealous of him.

Zhao County is not big, but not small either. He can't be the only one making clothes. There are other private factories making clothes. Can't their bosses allow that their peers are their enemies and be jealous of him, Lu Yang?

Just don't bother with him.

Lu Yang is not really afraid of being targeted by small private factories now. In Zhao County, he has no rivals.

If there are really any rivals in the future, they will only appear in cities, provincial capitals, or first-tier cities in China such as Shanghai and Shenzhen that are undergoing reform and opening up.

The county's investment promotion office is only about two blocks away from the small commodity wholesale market. It takes about ten minutes to walk there and about five minutes by car.

At that time, there was no separation of people and vehicles like in later generations. Motor vehicles had motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicles had non-motor vehicle lanes, and people had sidewalks. At that time, it was just a big road with no distinction between people, bicycles, carts, ox carts, tractors, cars, and buses. They all had the right of way. If it was a sparsely populated area, then cars could of course drive freely and it didn't matter if they drove very fast. However, in downtown areas, there were speed limits.

By the way, there are also hawkers. In this era, there are actually a lot of hawkers walking around the streets. They sharpen scissors and kitchen knives, collect waste and toothpaste tubes, and sell candied haws and hawthorn cakes. They walk, shout, and sell as they go.

You drive behind him.

If there are few people, you can still go around, but if there are many people, you have to wait until he sells out.

Of course, vendors like this are usually very discerning and will not give way to those pulling carts or tricycles. But if they encounter a group of street urchins riding bicycles, or cars driven by rich people, or cars from government agencies, they will definitely run away faster than rabbits.

Arrived at the end of the field.

After Lu Yang got off the car, without waiting to say hello, a large group of people from the market management came up to greet him.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a big belly.

Seeing that although Lu Yang was young, he got out of a Santana car, and was followed by a driver and bodyguards, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took the initiative to stretch out his hands to Lu Yang, and said politely: "This must be Boss Lu, I'm sorry, I'm Li Cang from the Market Management Office."

As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.

Lu Yang was just about to shake hands with the middle-aged man with a big belly.

As a result, it was as if people had suddenly discovered some rare treasure.

Suddenly his eyes drifted away.

He immediately withdrew his hands and quickly moved past Lu Yang.

As flexible as a monkey.

Lu Yang was shocked and astonished. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the man's back. Wouldn't such a big beer belly affect his performance?

"Hey, Director Du, why did you bother to come here in person?"

His attitude was more than 10 times more humble than when he extended his hand to Lu Yang just now.

The middle-aged man with a beer belly just now.

At this moment, he was bending over and personally opening the door of another Santana parked behind Lu Yang's Santana, which was obviously more shabby than Lu Yang's Santana.

But the car is not important anymore.

At this point, it’s the people in the car that matter.

Director Du stepped out of the car, looked at the middle-aged man with a beer belly with some disdain, and covered his nose with his hand and said, "Did you eat garlic at noon? Do I need to notify you when I come? Comrade Li Cang, please pay attention to your words and deeds. Also, next time when you shake hands with guests, please shake hands completely. It's not nice to be so careless and leave the guests alone."

A middle-aged man with a beer belly, he failed to flatter anyone but got scolded a lot.

His face turned red.

I wanted to defend myself.

But Director Du had completely ignored him. He walked up to Lu Yang and apologized to him in person, "I'm sorry, Boss Lu. Sometimes our staff can't think straight. They are supposed to serve the people, but when the time comes, they put their efforts in the wrong places. I formally apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you won't remember his mistake just now."

Of course Lu Yang wouldn't care.

As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. In the future, when doing business in this market, I will have to deal with the manager of this market, especially that beer belly I just saw. I am afraid that I will have to deal with him for a long time.

Unless the other party is transferred.

Or, you can kill the other person with one blow.

Otherwise, there is no need, just don't shake hands.

Lu Yang glanced at his outstretched hand, and remembered the other person's greasy body, big belly, and, oh, yes, bad breath.

Lu Yang didn't smell it just now.

Maybe it's a little far away.

But the female leader was so confident in what she said, and she did it in front of so many people, so that makes sense.

"No handshake!"

"Otherwise I'll have to wash my hands thoroughly when I get home. I don't want to use my hands until I wash them clean. How can I touch my wife again?"

After thinking it over, Lu Yang said, "It doesn't matter. I don't like shaking hands with people either. I think we should just forget it."

Just now, I was angry because I left Lu Yang behind.

After being severely reprimanded by his leader and being stunned for a long time, he finally came to his senses. The middle-aged greasy man with a big belly from beer ran faster than a monkey, taking two steps at a time and rushed to Lu Yang. He stretched out his fat hands, ready to make up for the etiquette he had just missed.

I heard Lu Yang say this.

Confused again.

The key is that everyone has put their hands in their pockets.

The middle-aged man's beer belly once again made his face red.

Feeling overwhelmed and seeking help, he looked to his leader beside him.

The middle-aged leader Du covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled: "Okay, if you don't like shaking hands, then don't shake hands."

She was now becoming more and more interested in the young man.

Lu Yang said: "Look, the car is coming."

In the distance, one, two, three, four, four large trucks appeared, and the back of the trucks were filled with clothes.

In addition, there were five minibuses following the four large trucks...
