In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 511 Obstructing the Acquisition of Abandoned Mini Excavators

"Oh, right, Manager Zhang, a man just brought two bosses in and asked us what we were doing here." Yu Dawei suddenly remembered the man from earlier and brought it up to see his reaction.

"Huh? Oh!" Zhang Ruimin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled somewhat awkwardly, "That should be our manager Wu Sheng. Oh well, don't worry about him, let's sign the contract if there are no problems."

Yu Dawei nodded, handed the contract to Da Feng, and after she glanced at it, he prepared to sign it.

"Knock knock knock." At the crucial moment, there was a knock at the door, and then the man named Wu Sheng coldly opened the door and walked in, his eyes immediately locking onto Zhang Ruimin.

"Manager Wu." Zhang Ruimin was momentarily surprised, then quickly recovered and forced a smile. "Don't you have two important clients to attend to?"

The implication was that if you're not busy with your own affairs, why are you coming here?

"Zhang Ruimin, who gave you permission to sell the batch of excavators you recycled?" Wu Sheng didn't give him a friendly look at all. Dressed in a suit, he looked imposing without being angry.

Zhang Ruimin was taken aback, glanced at Wu Sheng, and stood up innocently: "Manager Wu, I can make the decision on this kind of thing. Besides, Boss Yu wants 120 units right away, which is equivalent to one-fifth of the total output. This scale is a big business for any machinery manufacturer."

Zhang Ruimin sensed that Wu Sheng might be up to something, but he wasn't worried. After all, his actions were for the benefit of their factory, and he had already spoken with the factory director.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, Wu Sheng had no say in this matter.

Upon hearing this, Wu Sheng, who was standing at the door, paused for a moment. But considering that Zhang Ruimin had no sense of rules and had sold scrapped excavators without authorization, he couldn't help but ask again, "How much for one?"

“Thirty thousand,” Zhang Ruimin said.

Wu Sheng's face turned cold again, and his gaze shifted from Zhang Ruimin to Yu Dawei.

Yu Dawei also put down the other contract in his hand and looked directly at the other party without any hesitation.

This is in another province. If this were in an oil city, he would have a large sinus by now. Look, look, look! What are you looking at?
Seeing the other person staring at him so brazenly, Wu Sheng felt even more disgusted with this boss.

Wu Sheng had seen far too many opportunistic people like this.

It all boils down to making a deal with "acquaintances" in the factory, getting the machine out at a low price, then figuring out how to repair it and sell it on the market, finally "sharing the spoils" with the people in the factory.

Wu Sheng knew that there was indeed a domestically produced excavator model on the market that was a perfect match for the EX210 excavator that their factory had scrapped.

It's a Lingong TL200 mini excavator.

This means that the other party has made ample plans and wants to make a fortune in the market by using their factory's scrapped excavators.

He didn't believe Zhang Ruimin couldn't see through it; either it was an acquaintance, or it was driven by self-interest.

But he would not agree to either point.

This is equivalent to using the resources of a factory to feed small, unregulated companies, which is absolutely unacceptable!
“The price is too low.” Wu Sheng withdrew his gaze and reached out to take the several contracts on the table into his own hands. “Moreover, Deputy Manager Zhang, company regulations stipulate that these scrapped excavators are not allowed to remain on the market, as it will damage the company’s image.” “Your unscrupulous sale is tantamount to ruining LiuGong’s corporate image. I do not agree to this.” Wu Sheng said, turning to leave.

"Wait!" Zhang Ruimin's gaze turned equally hostile as he saw Wu Sheng about to leave. "I've already informed the factory managers about this matter, and the contracts all have their signatures. Wu Sheng, what reason do you have to object?"

Wu Sheng paused, and gently closed the office door he had just opened: "Deputy Manager Zhang, I think you should understand that the company has its own rules. It's not like you can do whatever you want just because you have a good relationship with someone and they sign something."

"Mr. Yu, right?" Wu Sheng ignored the mentally unstable Zhang Ruimin and looked at Yu Dawei instead. "Regarding the mini excavator, I didn't mean to target you. It's just that the company has regulations that require the secret disposal of this batch of scrapped machines."

"So I hope you can understand."

"If you specifically want other excavator models, our factory also has other EX series. You can ask Deputy Manager Zhang to take you to see them. As for the 210 model, please do not violate our company's regulations."

After saying that, Wu Sheng gave the group a cold look, then turned and left the conference room with a flourish.

The scene immediately fell silent, leaving only a stack of useless 210 model information on the coffee table.

“President Yu, it seems this matter needs further consideration.” Zhang Ruimin took off his glasses, wiped them wearily with the corner of his clothes, put them back on, and smiled again. “This is not the place to talk. You should go back first, and I will come to find you tonight.”

"Okay." Yu Dawei nodded, and before leaving, he patted the other person on the shoulder, the meaning of which was self-evident.

In the car, Zhang Huaijin was the first to get restless. He turned to Yu Dawei with resentment and said, "Brother Yu, that Wu Sheng is such a hypocrite! He says he's talking about the issue, not the person, but I think he's doing it on purpose!"

"It's clear that the other side has a lot of resistance towards the three of us." Yu Dawei sat in the driver's seat, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "It seems that things are going to be difficult from here on out."

“Da Feng,” Yu Dawei suddenly looked up at Yu Feng in the rearview mirror, “Do you remember when Wu Sheng came in for the second time, besides taking the tea leaves, he also took something else. I didn’t see it clearly from that angle.”

“It’s a gift box, a very small gift box, two of them.” Yu Feng closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. “The outer packaging seems to say ‘jade,’ but I don’t know what font it is. I can’t recognize it.”

“Jade…is it Hetian jade…” Yu Dawei narrowed his eyes slightly. “It seems that those two clients he brought are very important to this Manager Wu.”

Zhang Huaijin nodded in deep agreement. After all, if it really was Hetian jade, this gift was quite generous, indicating that the client must be someone very important.

On the way, Yu Dawei didn't say anything more, but instead thought about what to do next.

Actually, he had a vague feeling yesterday that there might be problems if he skipped the marketing department general manager in this matter.

Sure enough, this happened today.

Looking back now, it's clear that Zhang Ruimin definitely wanted to rise to the top a long time ago, but perhaps it was because Wu's business acumen was too strong that he couldn't get promoted.

As for the other party's resources and background, Yu Dawei felt that such a person probably didn't have many friends in the company.
