Chapter 97 – Hong Kong Businessman (Part 2) (2/2)
“Mr. Fu, this bearing was just produced. It has 0 defects, and 100% will pa.s.s the QC……”
Fu Guangzheng was not interested in these. He was only concern if there were advanced machines and technologies from the Soviet Union. The purpose of his visit here was completed, but he still got to pretend. He must at least tour the factory for an hour to show that he was seriously considering investing in this company. However, he also can’t stay there for long as it will show that he was very interested.
Also, the air at the factory was terrible. Fu Guangzheng used a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose while he was walking around. He did not even touch the finished products shown to him by Li Mingde. Those products were oily, and he does not want to touch those with his bare hands.
Fu Guangzheng had some OCD, and he had to bathe at least twice a day and washes his hands seven to eight times. If his hands were stained with oil, it would hard to wash off. Even if the stains were washed off, the smell would still be there, and he would not be able to eat or sleep.
But now, Fu Guangzheng still cannot leave yet.
Li Mingde was getting more excited as he speaks. He saw this big boss from Hong Kong nodding his head and thought that he was satisfied with the factory.
It was the office director who noticed Fu Guangzheng’s discomfort, and he whispered to Li Mingde: “General Manager, the Hong Kong boss kept covering his nose with his handkerchief. Could it be he dislike the smell in the factory? Why not invite him to the office to look at our past achievements and honor?”
Li Mingde looked at Fu Guangzheng and saw that it was as what the office director said. Visiting the achievement and honor office? This idea is not bad. This company was Bing City’s Machinery Factory previously and had gotten numerous awards. These awards should attract this Hong Kong businessman to invest.
“Mr. Fu, so you still want to tour the workshops? Why not go to the office to look at our historical achievements?”
Fu Guangzheng nodded: “Okay, I also want to look at those.”
Fu Guangzheng kept his handkerchief when they enter the office building.
Li Mingde started his introduction and explanations about the factory’s history and achievements. These awards were issued by the City Government and those awards were issued by the Provincial Government.
Li Mingde was feeling very proud when he showed those past achievements. Although most of these awards were issued during his predecessor time, he said it as if it was because of him, the factory got these awards.
After half an hour, Li Mingde still had not finished, and Fu Guangzheng was getting impatient. He interrupted Li Mingde: “GM Li, can I look at the financial report?”
Li Mingde’s heart skipped a beat. Although the company’s finances were not in a mess, it was not transparent. During the restructuring, the value of the fixed a.s.sets was inflated, and even Feng Yu could point those out. This Hong Kong businessman might also notice it.
“Our company’s finances are in order, and we have surplus funds. The fixed a.s.sets are only the land, factory, machines and technologies. There is no need to look at these.”
“Really? The value of these fixed a.s.sets should be quite high. If I am investing, then will I have some rights to speak on the matters involving finances?” Fu Guangzheng asked casually.
“Of course. We are a shareholding company, and all shareholders have the right to monitor the finances. One of our shareholders even stations someone here to monitor these matters!” Li Mingde said.
s.h.i.+t. Why is this fellow from Hong Kong keep talking about the finance? But no matter what, he must invest in the company. If the money is still not returned to the City Government, then he will be in the bad books of the City Government leaders.
