Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Visiting the Ceramics Factory

The two chatted casually, and after agreeing on a time for her return, Jiang Cheng left first.

She had to consider that Director Lian and Gao Zhonghua were still here while accompanying Shen Que.

So it’s better to have some time restrictions.

Besides... currently, Shen Que didn’t want her to see him going to the bathroom.

Jiang Cheng didn’t return to the large compound after leaving the mechanical factory but went to the ceramics factory instead.

When Tao Changzhang, the head of the ceramics factory, heard that Jiang Cheng was coming, he was a bit dazed.

Jiang Cheng, really came?

Last time, when foreign exchange profits were made, their ceramics factory didn’t benefit. Although he had looked for Jiang Cheng, he just held a "try-anything" attitude at that time.

Deep down, Tao Changzhang didn’t believe that Jiang Cheng would really come.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Tao Changzhang went out personally to greet Jiang Cheng.

"Comrade Jiang Cheng."

"Director Tao, why did you come out!"

Jiang Cheng reached out proactively, bending slightly with just the right amount of politeness.

She knew well that without the support of the factory head, all the ideas would be empty fantasies.

Tao Changzhang also intended to get closer, and Jiang Cheng proactively extended the olive branch.

During the time chatting from the entrance to the office, the two almost considered themselves confidants.

The secretary brought in tea and waited by the door.

Inside, Tao Changzhang asked expectantly, "Jiang Cheng, what brings you here this time?"

Jiang Cheng put down the teacup and hung a polite smile.

"I’m about to go out soon, and I like to be prepared."

"What if I meet a foreign friend and know what they like but can’t bring anything out on my end? Wouldn’t the opportunity be wasted?"

Tao Changzhang nodded continuously as he listened, not finding Jiang Cheng to be aimlessly talking.

This girl had gone out twice and returned with foreign exchange earnings each time.

This time, the mechanical factory’s achievements even reached a million.

He had also heard some rumors... it was said that the mechanical factory set a trap and tricked the Japanese on a matter.

Although the news was not precise, there is no smoke without fire.

"Comrade Jiang has deep foresight, a lesson worth learning!"

"Our ceramics factory will certainly fully support comrade Jiang’s plans. So, what kind of preparations does comrade Jiang intend to make?"

Jiang Cheng first praised Tao Changzhang’s farsightedness, then expressed heartfelt thanks.

Just as Tao Changzhang was beaming with delight, Jiang Cheng asked, "Can I take a tour of your factory?"

"Of course you can!"

Tao Changzhang agreed without hesitation and personally took Jiang Cheng on a tour of the entire ceramics factory.

Jiang Cheng’s tour was very down-to-earth.

She chatted with workers and crouched by the kiln for "warm conversations" with the master craftsmen.

In one morning, Jiang Cheng visited every workshop and kiln.

At lunchtime, Jiang Cheng even deliberately left Tao Changzhang behind and mingled with a group of workers, talking about various topics and boasting casually.

After lunch, as the workers went back to work, Jiang Cheng found Tao Changzhang again and went to the warehouse.

The warehouse stored all the stock of the ceramics factory.

The warehouse was large, and in the southeast corner, there was a pile of enamel washbasins the size of two large bowls.

Jiang Cheng walked over, staring at these basins over and over.

"These are all defective products, waiting to be distributed to the supply and marketing cooperatives so that we can at least recover some costs."

"Not profitable?"

Jiang Cheng tilted her head.

Tao Changzhang nodded.

"As long as it’s not a loss, it’s acceptable."

Jiang Cheng picked up a ceramic basin, measuring the size with her hand.

"Director Tao, do you think every ceramics factory has such defective products?"

"It should be inevitable."

Jiang Cheng pondered.

"Can you give me a few?"

"??"

Tao Changzhang was somewhat taken aback.

"Jiang Cheng, these are defective products?"

"I know."

Jiang Cheng said to Tao Changzhang, "I have another idea. Once I confirm it, I’ll let you know. I need a few samples."

"Take them! Take as many as you like! Are a few enough?"
