Niu Xiaoqiang glanced at Zhang Guangmao and thought: It is estimated that Uncle Zhang came to me for this, I don't know what happened to him that made him so embarrassed on the phone?

After everyone greeted each other, Fang Dongping smiled and said: "Xiaoqiang, this is not a place to entertain guests, let's quickly welcome the guests to the factory." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and beckoned the guests to walk in the direction of the factory. Because there were a lot of people present, Niu Xiaoqiang did not have an in-depth communication with Zhang Guangmao, and was ready to wait until after the reception banquet to speak in private.

The logistics department of the Asia Machinery Factory has already prepared five tables of sumptuous banquets, most of which are game from the mountains, in addition to fresh and tender river fish. Gao Desheng invited the best chef in town, and each dish was cooked to the fullest of color and flavor, and it looked very rowy.

After everyone entered the cafeteria, Niu Xiaoqiang personally arranged the seats. He arranged several main characters at one table, and the rest of the people sat cross-seated, making sure that there was a chaperone at each table, and that no one of the guests would be left out in the cold.

There are not many people sitting at the table at the head, except for Fang Dongping, Niu Xiaoqiang, Zhang Guangmao and Smith, there are only Zhou Hongbao, Song Zhiyi and Niu Dazhuang.

Niu Xiaoqiang was the youngest, and he personally opened the bottle cap to pour wine for everyone. After pouring the wine, Fang Dongping, the oldest person, first raised his glass: "Welcome to Asia Machinery Factory, on behalf of all colleagues in Asia Machinery Factory, I would like to toast all distinguished guests!"

The others raised their glasses, Niu Xiaoqiang sat next to Smith, he saw that Smith was going to toast like everyone else, and hurriedly reminded: "Smith, you'd better drink it slowly, Chinese liquor has a high degree of liquor, and people who haven't drunk it are easy to get drunk." ”

Smith followed Niu Xiaoqiang's advice and only took a sip. Since he was a foreigner, everyone didn't mind.

"Hey, it's so spicy, I didn't expect Chinese baijiu to be stronger than brandy, especially when you enter it, it's like a fire. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "This is still a relatively mild wine, and I didn't take out the stronger wine, otherwise you won't be able to stand it." ”

Smith is not very good at using chopsticks, so Niu Xiaoqiang specially helped him bring a set of knives and forks, and then introduced the dishes on the table with a smile. Smith is very fond of Chinese food, and he is full of praise as he eats it.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Niu Xiaoqiang began to inquire about the news: "Smith, where is the current construction of your oilfield?"

Smith nibbled on a pheasant leg in his mouth, "That area is a bit out of the way, the roads and barracks have not yet been repaired, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months to complete, and the next step is the installation of oil production equipment." ”

If you don't build the infrastructure, you won't be able to transport the oil, even if it is extracted. Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "How much equipment are you going to purchase this time, and what specifications are they?"

Smith put down the neatly gnawed chicken thighs and glanced at Niu Xiaoqiang: "You seem to be engaged in automobile manufacturing, right?

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "In addition to manufacturing cars, my factory also processes parts and components on some oil production equipment, so I still know something about this." ”

Smith was a little surprised when he entered the factory. He has personally visited many car factories in Europe. People's factories are very large, to say the least than more than ten times larger than the Asian Machinery Factory, he wonders whether the Asian Machinery Factory can really make cars with such a small footprint?

At this moment, when he heard that the Asian Machinery Factory not only makes cars, but also processes parts and components on oil production equipment, this made Smith feel even more surprised, and he couldn't help but ask: "I looked at your factory area when I came in, to be honest, compared to other car factories I have seen, your area is too small, I didn't expect you to not only make cars, but also operate other businesses, I don't know how you arrange the space?"

Even if Smith deviated from the topic, Niu Xiaoqiang could only patiently explain: "It's very simple, we only produce the most core spare parts, and the less core spare parts are all purchased from other manufacturers, so we don't need too many supporting production lines, there are tens of thousands of spare parts for a truck, if we produce them all, it may not be enough to expand the scale of the factory by a hundred times." ”

Smith sighed and said very frankly: "To be honest, if I had known that your factory was of this size, I would definitely not have signed that contract with you in the first place, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a car factory." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said: When I signed the contract, I only had three small cave factories, and the 311 factory did not belong to me, and I did not even have the qualifications for the automobile industry.

Although he thought so in his heart, he looked very imposing on the surface: "Smith, don't judge people by their appearance, don't be blinded by your own eyes, the order I signed with you has already been completed, and it is estimated that it will arrive at the port specified in the contract in a few days, I dare to assure you that this batch of trucks is not inferior to similar products in Western countries in terms of quality and performance, and you have bought such a superior product at an extremely low price, you have taken a big advantage." ”

Smith hesitated, "Is that really the case?"

Niu Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes, pretending to be displeased: "If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see our products later, and I'm guaranteed to open your eyes." ”

Smith thought that Niu Xiaoqiang was going to pull orders, so he hurriedly reminded: "I came to purchase oil production equipment this time, and I have no plan to purchase trucks, don't beat my idea." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed: "I didn't force you to sign the contract, what are you afraid of?"

Smith smiled dryly and picked up a chicken wing: "I always feel embarrassed that you are so warm, so let's do it, if you have time to go to Africa next time, I promise to treat you well, so that we can even settle it." ”

As long as he doesn't talk about business, Smith seems to be a good talker, but when it comes to business, he immediately becomes very principled.

Niu Xiaoqiang also knew a little about his character, and nodded with a smile: "No problem, I will definitely go to Africa to see your family's industry if I have the opportunity." ”

Smith nodded with a smile: "You asked me what the equipment you want to purchase this time before, you should ask Mr. Zhang this question, I can't tell a third party without his permission." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang had no choice but to give up the idea of inquiring about the situation in advance, and greeted everyone to eat and drink wholeheartedly.

The meal was eaten until eight o'clock in the evening, and then the joy was gone.
