Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Substitute Quotas

Mr. Jiang, who was skilled at pulling people together, looked at Director Lu reassuringly and said, "Don’t worry, at most we’ll just be rejected and won’t get the allocation."

"When it comes to handling things, there’s always a way even if negotiations fall through. So, let’s just wait and see."

Jiang Cheng’s calm demeanor gradually influenced Director Lu and Director Lian.

Finally, the two of them were no longer sweating nervously or looking guilty.

The most crucial thing is: when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

Though Jiang Cheng wasn’t taller than Director Lu, the ideas in her head stacked up high.

After walking in the factory for a few minutes, Jiang Cheng stopped someone.

"Excuse me, sir, we are here from Sea City to discuss a project with your director. The person leading us had a stomach ache and randomly pointed us in a direction. Could you help guide us?"

The worker, whom she called sir, cheerfully pointed them in the right direction.

After thanking him, the three headed towards the office building.

At the entrance, they openly went to the factory director’s floor but were stopped by the secretary.

"We haven’t received a call about a project from Sea City."

Jiang Cheng, unhurried, naturally produced proof from the food factory.

"We’re from Sea City Food Factory and we’ve called before."

The secretary remembered.

He wanted to ask how they got in, but since the director himself came, he decided to give them some face.

The secretary politely said, "I recall, but our plastic factory truly has no extra allocation for you, it’s not us being difficult."

"Your food factory operates on allocations too, you should understand the production capabilities of a factory are limited, and we have to follow the allocation distribution from above."

The secretary explained patiently again, thinking most people would leave by this point.

But Director Lu’s expression didn’t change because Jiang Cheng hadn’t spoken yet.

Secretary: These people are so strange?

The director isn’t like a director, the employees aren’t like employees.

"You’re right, we naturally wouldn’t make a request that puts you in a tough spot, but what if we can find the allocation ourselves?"

The secretary was taken aback.

"Creak," the office door of the director opened.

Director Li of the plastic factory came out, looking at the three of them.

"Hello, I’m Li Changchun."

"Hello, I’m Lu Wanshan."

The two directors shook hands, and Director Li invited the three inside while the secretary went to make tea.

In the director’s office, Director Li was the first to speak, "Director Lu, I know Sea City wants to cooperate with us, and I have heard a bit about your greenhouse project."

"To be honest, this is a great project for the country and the people, but our factory really doesn’t have the capacity to fulfill it."

Director Li spoke sincerely, he wanted to help, but truly couldn’t.

Director Lu instinctively looked at Jiang Cheng.

Director Li noticed this detail and also focused on Jiang Cheng.

He had come out because he heard someone say they could solve the allocation themselves and got a little curious.

Jiang Cheng spoke confidently.

"Director Li, do other factories in Sea City have production allocations at your factory?"

"Yes!"

"Many!"

Receiving a positive response, Jiang Cheng asked again, "If we can persuade other factories to give up their allocations, would Director Li be willing to accept our food factory as a substitute?"

Director Li smiled.

"Comrade, other factories will not give up their allocations."

Jiang Cheng’s eyes sparkled, responding with a gentle smile.

"That is my challenge. I just need to know if Director Li is willing to accept our food factory as a substitute."

Jiang Cheng needed a positive answer from Director Li because there were too many factories waiting for allocations outside.

A classic case of too many wolves and not enough meat.

Director Li truly wanted to help.

But Jiang Cheng’s idea was too far-fetched, he looked at Director Lu.

Director Lu nodded seriously, "Mr. Jiang’s idea fully represents our food factory."
