Chapter 239 Merchants
Just as Yang Zhenyu said, their gains this time were indeed good. Not only did they sign several letters of intent, but they also negotiated with several channel partners.

In particular, a consortium agent in Western Europe actually wanted to take over the agency rights for the whole of Europe.

However, what was signed was still just a letter of intent. If we want to get it, we still need to look at the strength of the steel rolling mill, especially its customization capabilities.

"Director, this is great news." Xu Haichao excitedly talked to the factory on the phone.

"What good news is this? Could it be that another order contract has been signed?" Yang Zhizhou was also very excited.

"No, Director, that is a letter of intent, not a contract. They are not the same thing," said Xu Haichao.

"It's all the same, it's all the same. Sooner or later, it will be ours. There's no way to escape." Yang Zhizhou said happily.

"Director, Engineer Yang means that we should not get too excited. Whether these letters of intent can be successful depends on the strength of our factory."

"Also, Engineer Yang asked me to call you and inform you to make preparations for the reception these days. There may be several waves of foreign businessmen visiting our company, and we will buy return tickets in the next half day." Xu Haichao said.

"Why don't you stay here? Isn't the effect very good?" Yang Zhizhou said in surprise.

"Engineer Yang said that he must go back in person. He is worried that you can't handle it. If he leaves, there will be little point for us to stay here." Xu Haichao said.

"Okay, everything will be arranged according to Engineer Yang. You don't have to worry about the factory. We will arrange the reception." Yang Zhizhou said after a moment of hesitation.

After finishing the call with Xu Haichao, Yang Zhizhou was still extremely excited.

"How's it going, Old Yang, is there any new good news?" Xiang Xuemin asked Yang Zhizhou anxiously.

"It's really good news. In the past few days, Comrade Zhenyu and his team have not only negotiated a lot of orders, but also foreign businessmen are planning to visit our factory. This is a great thing." Yang Zhizhou said excitedly.

"Our factory has been here for so many years, and this is the first time that foreign businessmen have come to visit, except for a few times when our superiors brought merchants here. However, when foreign businessmen come, I think we still have to ask our superiors for permission to avoid unnecessary trouble." Xiang Xuemin said.

"Of course. We still don't know what our superiors' attitude is towards foreign businessmen's visits. We must do the corresponding work well to avoid any trouble later." Yang Zhizhou said after a moment of hesitation.

"Yes, that's what I mean. It's best to communicate with your superiors now and then make plans." Li Xinmin also said.

Yang Zhizhou did not hesitate and directly picked up the phone to contact his superior. This matter was indeed a very important one.

At this time, dial-up telephones have begun to be used internationally. Domestic technology is relatively backward and has not yet been fully popularized. However, many important units are also upgrading their technology.

"Just wait." Yang Zhizhou quickly communicated with his superiors, who instructed them to wait for the results.

Over the years, several factory leaders have been waiting for good news in Yang Zhizhou's office.

At this time, no one can leave.

As a result, the whole office became a "fairyland" filled with smoke.

There was no other way. They also wanted these foreign businessmen to visit the factory, but they knew that at this time, the opinions of their superiors were the most important.

More than an hour later, the phone in Yang Zhizhou's office rang again, and Yang Zhizhou excitedly picked up the phone.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I promise to do a good job." Yang Zhizhou said excitedly.

"Haha..." After hanging up the phone, Yang Zhizhou laughed excitedly.

"Is it done?" Xiang Xuemin asked.

"Okay. Our superiors have instructed us to do a good job in reception, get as many orders as possible, and set an example for all factories across the country." Yang Zhizhou said with a smile.

"That's great. This time the crisis in our factory may be resolved." Wang Xijun said excitedly.

"It is a wise decision to let Comrade Zhenyu attend the Canton Fair this time. Who would have thought that he could bring us such a surprise." Li Xinmin was also very happy.

It is a proud thing for the factory to get such an order, and it is also a great achievement for them.

Although I haven't been promoted for so many years, that was because of the turmoil. Now that the turmoil is over, I don't know if I can move up again.

"Don't be happy too soon. Since we are going to receive foreign businessmen, we certainly can't just do it like this. We need to make some preparations. At least our factory needs to prepare well and clean up the workshops and factory areas properly. We can't let the foreign businessmen see that our factory is in a mess. In addition, for the reception, we have to prepare the banquet as well." Yang Zhizhou raised his hand and said.

"That makes sense. Let's make some arrangements first, clean up the factory, make preparations, and hold a meeting for the workers. All of us need to show a brand new spirit and ensure that foreign investors will be delighted when they come here." Li Xinmin said.

"We don't have much experience in this area, but we can ask the relevant departments about what we should pay attention to. After all, they are foreign investors, so we still have to pay attention to some things." Wang Xijun said.

"We can wait for Engineer Yang to come back to deal with the rest. After all, he is the one who is in direct contact with the foreign businessmen this time, so he must have some understanding of them. However, we can arrange the cleanliness of our factory in advance, and the matter of convening a staff meeting can also be implemented as soon as possible." Xiang Xuemin said.

Several people were having a quick meeting in the office.

There is no need for too much long-winded nonsense. Just express your opinions directly and then come up with a reliable solution.

Then there are the staff meetings, the meetings at the branch factories, etc., which all need to be arranged by them.

For two consecutive days, all work in the factory was stopped until a thorough cleaning of the factory was carried out.

At the same time, the workers were constantly reminded not to stand by and watch if any customers came.

"Uncle Yi, do you know what is going on?" He Yuzhu asked Yi Zhonghai curiously.

"How would I know? But as the canteen director, don't you have any information at all?" Yi Zhonghai said, looking at He Yuzhu.

"Well, I do know. The factory asked me to prepare a menu of my best skills. Just report any ingredients you need. There must be a banquet, but I don't know who will be entertaining this time." He Yuzhu said with a bitter face.

This is really uncomfortable. As a chef, you must be confident in your cooking skills.

However, I don’t know where the guests came from, and I don’t know where to start cooking, which is very embarrassing.

"You, just prepare when I tell you to, and report when I tell you to. This is a good thing. Why are you hesitating? I didn't know you, but you've long wanted to try some dishes that you never had the chance to try before." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Hehe, that's right. I will report it then and try my craftsmanship out." He Yuzhu just laughed.

There were many dishes that he had indeed wanted to try for a long time.

But there has never been an opportunity before. This time, the factory directly brought the opportunity to me.
