Chapter 175 Distrust [3200]

This passage.

Lu Yang highlighted one key point, the high numerical content, 200, 1000, 1, 20, 100 million... Every number, in this era, represents a profound meaning.

It would be best if he could calm down these big bosses from above. If not, then just ignore what he said. It won't cost him anything anyway. Will the leaders eat him up just because they suspect he is bragging?
As soon as Lu Yang finished speaking.

It's very quiet in this office, and everyone has a different expression.

Du Lingling had an expression that said, "As expected, this kid is really good at bragging."

With a little expectation, she was ready to see if her brother-in-law would be fooled.

Deputy Mayor Xu looked at Lu Yang with a slightly surprised look.

I don’t know if it was the effect of the six words “state-owned cotton textile factory”.

This elegant middle-aged man seemed ready to get to know the young man in front of him again.

There was another person in this office, Du Gaoguan, the leader of the Economic and Trade Commission who came from the provincial capital. This middle-aged man, who was just fifty years old but half of his hair was already white, sat alone on the other side of the sofa in the office, smiled with a little contempt, and then drank tea by himself.

What the hell?
Is bragging tax-free now?
He didn't believe a word of what the young man his cousin called in said.

what?
Is this Pengcheng?
Then he believed it.

Even in the provincial capital, Xingcheng, he had never seen such a boastful young man.

“Nice speech.”

"My friend, your words sound a bit like a work report, but they still touched me. 200 sewing women, not including workers at other stations. Are you sure that this is a small private factory?"

Deputy Mayor Xu raised his wrist and checked the time. Two minutes had passed.

Three minutes to go.

During these three minutes, seeing that the young man had great courage, regardless of whether his words were true or false, he decided to give the other party a chance for an equal dialogue.

"Yes, sir, we are a private garment factory in the countryside."

Lu Yang's words were sincere, and he didn't speak at length like before.

"Ah."

“Can it radiate to 1000 families and solve the problem of food and clothing for tens of thousands of people?”

Deputy Mayor Xu continued to ask.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, someone will always tell him.

"I haven't counted, but if we include the small supporting factories that provide us with raw materials, such as buttons, zippers, sewing thread, hangtags, plastic packaging, and fabrics, and add the families behind them, I think the number should be no less than a few."

Lu Yang answered fluently.

Anyway, there is no tax on bragging. I just happened to meet a group of small factory owners who wanted to curry favor with me outside this door yesterday, so I just brought them all along.

"Then, the monthly production of 20 sets of clothing is also true. Are you sure you are not lying?"

His fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk.

At this time, Deputy Mayor Xu's eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight into Lu Yang's eyes.

"To the leader, the experienced seamstresses in our factory can conservatively sew 30 to 50 sets of clothes a day, and 1000 sets of clothes a month. All the seamstresses can sew 20 sets of clothes a month, no more, no less."

Lu Yang took a deep breath.

The fact that there are less than one layer of skilled seamstresses in the factory was concealed, and the factory estimated that the proficiency of all the women workers would improve in about half a year, and the average number of clothes sewn per day would be moved forward to the present a few months later.

"So, the million-dollar order from your factory and the state-owned cotton textile factory is also true?"

Seemingly casual.

But Vice Mayor Xu has already asked the question that he cares most about.

"To reply to the leader, the million-dollar order is just the minimum amount marked on the contract. It is a legally binding contractual commitment made by our factory to the state-owned cotton textile factory that the annual order volume will not be less than 100 million.

But in fact, in just these two months, March and April, we have already brought in cloth raw materials worth no less than 30 yuan from international cotton textile factories, and this order volume will continue to surge as our clothes sell well.

According to my estimation, this year, our factory will probably have to order cloth raw materials worth at least more than two million from the state-owned cotton textile factory in order to meet the demand for raw materials for sewing clothes due to the surge in clothing sales.

Of course, if we can get your help, Mayor Xu, I believe it will be easy to achieve this goal. And by then, two million will no longer be our annual final demand for cloth raw materials. If we are bolder, it is not impossible to set this goal at three million, four million, or five million. "

After giving this passionate answer.

Lu Yang, shut up!

He took a step back, as if to express his position and had said everything he needed to say.

Next, wait for the leadership's decision.

And time, including the three minutes of the previous long speech, has already passed for five minutes.

"Crack, clap."

Suddenly someone next to me applauded.

The provincial official who had just been showing disdain and drinking tea by himself stood up at this moment.

He looked at Lu Yang arrogantly and said, "Little brother, can I ask you a few words?"

"of course."

Does Lu Yang dare to say no?

“Are you a Hong Kong businessman?”

Lu Yang shook his head.

“So you are a Taiwanese businessman?”

Lu Yang still shook his head.

"Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia?"

The high-ranking official from the provincial capital looked more and more fierce. "No, I was born in an ordinary village in Zhao County. I am just an ordinary farmer. It is only because of my good luck that I have achieved my current success. I have established a factory with my fellow villagers to get rich together and build the motherland."

Lu Yang remained unmoved and answered in an orderly manner.

"Haha, haha, quite interesting."

The provincial official, whose hair was already half white, laughed loudly and resonantly.

He glanced at his cousin: Is this the young hero you wanted to introduce to us so solemnly?
It’s not that bad either.

His eyes were so sharp, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, and he suddenly stood up and questioned Lu Yang, "You are so young, but you are so arrogant. You are neither a Hong Kong businessman nor a Taiwanese businessman, nor a returned overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia. Let me ask you, where did you get the money to open such a large garment factory?

It affects 1000 people, impacts 1 people, produces 20 sets of clothes per month, and has 100 million orders. It's a joke, a huge joke.

The two people in front of us are deputy department-level cadres, not some ignorant women who have lived in an ivory tower and are easily deceived. Do you think we will believe your lies? "

It was a barrage of questions, but it was also filled with information.

Lu Yang realized that the person in front of him was also a deputy department level official.

It seems that his status in the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission is not low.

If he is not the top leader, he is most likely the second or third in command.

As for this leader's attitude towards Director Du, his words just now showed extreme distrust, and he almost said the words "long hair but short knowledge" to her face.

If you look down on me so much, why are you still here?

Perhaps the best explanation is that both of them have the surname Du.

Lu Yang had suspected Director Du's true identity before. This woman was a relative from above. Her manner of conversation was very unusual. Old Jia also tried to give in to her. And the last point was that her accent didn't sound like that of a local.

Ivory tower?
Usually it’s just schools. Could it be that Director Du was a teacher at a provincial university before?

Teaching economics?
Are you here to practice your economic theories?

at this time.

Lu Yang had a lot of random thoughts in his mind.

"What, you have nothing to say?"

"I've exposed you, so you're embarrassed now, right?"

Senior official Du pressed on.

Lu Yang didn't say anything, which, in his opinion, was an obvious sign of guilt.

At this time, even Deputy Mayor Xu showed suspicion on his face.

This elegant middle-aged man actually believed Lu Yang's words 70% before, but after being reminded, he now only believed less than 10% left.

He shook his head in disappointment.

He was ready to get up and go back to the city for a meeting, not wanting to waste any more time.

"I'll help him prove it."

Du Lingling squeezed in between the three people in a very unconvinced manner. In fact, her eyes were very sharp, and she stared at the senior official Du from the province without disguising her anger.

Said she was ignorant.

hateful!

She must return this humiliation.

"Humph."

"How dare you look down on me."

"I'll surprise you guys later."

Senior official Du frowned and looked at his cousin who was standing in front of the liar. "You come to prove it for him? What can you prove it for him? Have you been to his factory? Do you know for sure that there are more than 20 workers in his factory? sets of clothes are produced every month? Haha, where are the clothes? What data are you going to use to convince me?
Cousin, you have never been an official before, so you don't understand. Do you know how many officials in charge of the economy in various provinces and regions have been deceived every year since the reform and opening up? "

He knows it all too well.

After all, the Economic and Trade Commission deals with this every day.

"I……"

Du Lingling was very unconvinced.

Except for not having been to Lu Yang's factory, she has seen at least 10 sets of clothes and 200 sewing workers wearing uniform clothes. Isn't that enough?
Just as she was about to argue.

Lu Yang shook his head at her: "Director, there is no need to be like this. Facts speak louder than words."

"Facts speak louder than words. I happen to think so too."

Senior official Du laughed and said, "It just so happens that I don't have a meeting this afternoon, so it doesn't matter if I return to the provincial capital later. I wonder if this young boss Lu can take us to visit the garment factory that you mentioned with orders of one million and a monthly output of more than 20 sets of clothing?"

He was ready to cut off the source of the problem and expose the liar completely so that his cousin could face reality.

Lu Yang shook his head.

"What, you don't dare?"

Of course not!
But Lu Yang would not say that: "Leader, it is really unfortunate that my garment factory has been on holiday in recent days. The factory is now working hard to ensure the smooth opening of the small commodity wholesale market. We have placed a heavy bet on this and are prepared to pay a heavy price for it."

"Heavy bet?"

"Haha, there's a big bet?"

"We will sell 30 sets of clothes at a loss of 20 yuan at the ultra-low price of two yuan per set and give them away to the people of the whole county within three and a half days of the event."

"What did you say?"

"Director Du can testify for me. Leaders, if you are interested, you don't have to visit the factory. You can visit the market directly. Currently, more than 200 of my workers are working hard to sell clothes to people throughout the county at this super low price. They are working hard to maintain this order. I believe that if the leaders can take the time to take a look, they will definitely see a different scenery."
