Chapter 124

When the coffee came up, they took a sip of coffee. Hao Weidong asked curiously, "how do you know Zhennan?"

"I fell into the water and he saved me." Guo Xiang said briefly.

"So it's a hero saving the United States? I said, "I'm surprised that I can catch up with my daughter-in-law." Hao Weidong said with a smile, "so you promised each other by example?"

Guo Xiang smiled and didn't answer. Of course, he wouldn't say that the Guo family actually relied on him.

Thinking of Gu Zhennan's promise a few days ago, he couldn't help smiling.

Hao Weidong saw Guo Xiang with a slightly shy expression. It seems that she has a good relationship with Zhennan. She is very happy for her brother.

"I heard Zhennan say that you and he met on the train, but how do I feel that you and he seem to have known each other for many years?" Guo Xiang asked.

"That's what the boy said?" Hao Weidong was stunned.

"Isn't it?" Guo Xiang looked at him and stared at the expression on his face. He seemed to want to see something.

"Ha ha..." Hao Weidong smiled awkwardly. "Yes, but we are like old friends at first sight. I'm familiar. That's what I say. Don't mind."

Guo Xiang was silent. She felt that there were secrets in it, but she didn't want to investigate if others didn't say it. Who didn't have secrets? She still had a lot of secrets.

"What can I do for you?" Hao Weidong gets to the point.

"Well, do you know Beijing Hengtong paper mill?" Asked Guo Xiang.

"Hengtong paper mill? What's the matter? " Hao Weidong frowned, as if he didn't know very well.

"I heard that they imported a sanitary napkin production line three years ago, but now it is going bankrupt. I want to ask what's going on." Guo Xiang said.

"I remember what you said. There was a lot of excitement when importing that production line. I interviewed their director Zheng at that time." Hao Weidong remembered.

"It's going bankrupt now?" He was surprised.

"No, it's a pity. Sanitary napkins are friends of women. Failure to produce them will bring a lot of inconvenience to women. I have the idea of contracting. " Guo Xiang said.

"Do you want to contract a paper mill?" Hao Weidong was surprised. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhennan's daughter-in-law was so bold.

"But I can't find director Zheng. I don't know his phone number or where his home is. Can you contact me?" Guo Xiang said.

"Well..." Hao Weidong pointed to the table and knocked. In fact, he didn't know director Zheng well. He only interviewed him a few years ago and didn't know if he was seen.

"When I came, Zhennan told me not to forget your phone number and said you could certainly help..." Guo Xiang said deliberately. It seems that Hao Weidong should have a way. It depends on whether he is willing to help.

Hao Weidong smiled bitterly. Zhennan dug a hole for his daughter-in-law and let himself jump?

Forget it, who calls him his good brother? He can't help when he asks for help for the first time. Where can I put this face.

"OK, you wait here. I'll go back and check and make a call." Hao Weidong said.

"OK, I'll wait for you!" Guo Xiang smiled.

Hao Weidong paid the money when he went out. He couldn't let Zhennan's daughter-in-law pay the bill for the first time.

It hurts a little when I pay the bill. It costs 20 yuan for two cups of coffee. It costs a fifth of my salary. It's very expensive.

After a while, Hao Weidong came back, "let's go to Director Zheng's house now."

"Thank you!" Guo Xiang smiled. Sure enough, there was a way.

Out of the coffee shop, Hao Weidong drove over a semi-new side tricycle, the one with a bucket.

"Will you take this?" Guo Xiang was surprised.

"It's good to have this. Do you think you can get me a car?" Hao Weidong smiled bitterly, "I'm just a forced little reporter."

Guo Xiang chuckled. She just didn't expect that the reporter must have a car. Unexpectedly, it's only the 1980s. Where is it so easy to have a car?

Driving a motorcycle to a teacher community, Guo Xiang was a little surprised.

"Director Zheng's lover is a teacher. He lives here." Hao Weidong explained.

I see. Guo Xiang nodded, got out of the car and bought some fruit in the community. He can't come to the door empty handed.

Hao Weidong led Guo Xiang to the corridor with three buildings, "on the fourth floor!"

They went upstairs together and stopped in front of door 402, "that's it!" Hao Weidong came forward and knocked at the door.

After a while, the door opened. An old man in his fifties with half white hair opened the door. He was a little surprised to see Guo Xiang and Hao Weidong, "are you?"

"Director Zheng, Hello, I'm a reporter from Beijing TV station. My name is Hao Weidong!" Hao Weidong stretched out his hand and held Zheng Kaiyuan's hand. "Don't you remember me? I interviewed you three years ago! "

Zheng Kaiyuan looked at Hao Weidong and Guo Xiang. "What are you doing?"

"There's something I want to talk to you about the paper mill." Guo Xiang said.

"Come in!" Zheng Kaiyuan opened the door, and Guo Xiang hurriedly handed over the fruit on his hand.

Zheng Kaiyuan nodded, let them in and poured two cups of tea.

"What's up?" Zheng Kaiyuan asked directly.

"Well, director Zheng, I heard that your factory imported a sanitary napkin production line three years ago. Why didn't you produce it?" Guo Xiang asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Alas..." Zheng Kaiyuan first sighed and raised this sad face. "At that time, it was also the task assigned by the superior. He also said that this thing was absolutely easy to sell, but it couldn't be sold at all."

"Although the state gave some subsidies when buying equipment, most of the money was paid by our factory. Later, we imported all kinds of raw materials and decorated the workshop. You know that the sanitary conditions for the production of that thing are high, and the previous workshops can't be used."

"After spending a lot of money, the things couldn't be sold and the money owed to others couldn't be paid. Later, the workers couldn't pay their wages. It's a vicious circle. Now the factory is going to collapse." Zheng Kaiyuan sighed.

"How can it not be sold?" Guo Xiang asked, "isn't this something that every woman needs to use?"

"We thought so at the beginning. We thought the prospect was very good and there were state subsidies. Why not do it? As a result, no one wants it. " Zheng Kaiyuan said.

"Why?" Guo Xiang was still puzzled.

"Because it's expensive!" Zheng Kaiyuan said, "three years ago, many workers were paid only 20 yuan. A bag of sanitary napkins cost almost 80 cents. It doesn't look expensive, but a bag of toilet paper only sells 20 cents."

"A bag of sanitary napkins can buy four bags of toilet paper, that is, it can be used for four months. Who will buy it? There are very few people who can buy it, but can we rely on those people for wages? Not at all. "

"We are blindly optimistic and produce blindly. There is still a warehouse where sanitary napkins can't be sold!" Zheng Kaiyuan sighed, "if it weren't for the production of this, our factory wouldn't be... It's all dragged down by that!"

"I'm sorry for the old employees in the factory and the workers who have been with me for so many years." Zheng Kaiyuan beat his chest and feet with regret on his face.
