"Interesting!"
Wang Yu looked at the document in his hand, which was an export declaration form.
Exporting overseas was not something just anyone could do; it required approval from relevant departments. This was a capability that neither the car factory nor the agricultural machinery factory had before.
After all, they were only doing business locally. Being able to establish a distribution network within the province was already considered quite good. Who would even think about overseas business?
Wang Yu's car factory obtained its export qualifications through a special approval from Secretary Yang, allowing them to quickly complete the application process with simplified procedures.
However, the export qualification document presented by Zhao Tao was directly issued by the provincial government of Jiangxi Province. In other words, someone high up had specifically approved it for them!
So, they had found a powerful backer. No wonder they were so arrogant and smug.
Wang Yu chuckled, finally understanding the source of Zhao Tao's haughty confidence.
With someone backing them, it was no surprise that they could win the bid in Dongma.
"What? Stunned, aren't you?"
Zhao Tao laughed heartily and then mockingly addressed Wang Yu, "You, Wang Yu, are just relying on your petty cleverness and tricks. Now I'll show you what an irresistible force is, and what real strength means!"
Zhao Tao's wild laughter, his smug and punchable expression, and his tone carried far. Almost everyone present felt an urge to punch him.
But alas, he had powerful connections!
In response to Zhao Tao's provocative laughter, Wang Yu simply shrugged and slowly replied,
"Can you guys be a bit more creative?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Facing Wang Yu's dismissive gaze, Zhao Tao was slightly taken aback.
"I said, can you guys be a bit more creative? Every time you demand I kneel and apologize, can you at least change your lines and tactics?"
Wang Yu pouted, as if Zhao Tao's words were nothing more than an insignificant joke to him.
However, it was true. Their words were just for show.
And it seemed everyone liked to demand that he kneel and apologize.
"Also, you always seem to offer me a doorman position. However, I have no interest in merging with your agricultural machinery factory, and I don't need such a sacred and high-ranking position as a doorman.
But if you're really desperate, Old Sun from our factory's reception room is very dedicated and capable. I can ask him if he's interested in transferring to your place... although I don't think he'll like you very much."
Wang Yu said slowly again. He looked at the smug Zhao Tao, whose ostentatious behavior had attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Most of them were representatives from other factories attending the event from all over the country, as well as some overseas personnel and ordinary visitors. Whether there were any reporters among them was unknown.
"You... you..." Wang Yu's words left Zhao Tao speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to respond to him.
After a brief pause, Zhao Tao sneered and said, "Wang Yu, you're just good with your words. Your car factory somehow managed to get a spot at this expo through some crooked means, but what achievements can you show off?"
Zhao Tao spoke to Wang Yu, glancing at the desolate state of the car factory's exhibition area. Other places were crowded, but the car factory was deserted with no visitors.
"Oh? How do you know I haven't achieved anything worth mentioning?"
Wang Yu asked Zhao Tao with a peculiar tone. He had already noticed some people in the crowd taking out cameras, likely reporters.
"Heh, look around yourself. If I hadn't come here and attracted some attention for you, there wouldn't be a single soul here!"
Zhao Tao burst into laughter and looked at the crowd drawn by his high-profile actions, proudly boasting to Wang Yu,
"You should thank me for this. Without me, you wouldn't be able to enjoy this feeling of being the center of attention!
Or rather, you should savor this moment of glory, even if it's just a false prosperity."
Zhao Tao rambled on. Wu Lingling looked at Wang Yu speechlessly, "Did this guy cause your previous car factory to almost go bankrupt? Why do I think his brain isn't working too well? Is he just wasting our time with philosophical debates now?
I can't believe you lost to someone like this!"
"That was the mess left by the previous factory director. Although this guy seems a bit slow-witted, he does have some tricks up his sleeve when it comes to scheming, but they are all petty, underhanded tactics."
Wang Yu shrugged. His casual remark immediately enraged Zhao Tao.
"What did you say? I'm just using petty tricks? Wang Yu, you frog in a well, you have no idea what real power is!"
Zhao Tao became furious and pointed directly at Wang Yu and Wu Lingling,
"You two, a pair of scoundrels, colluding together, isn't it all for the order of 500 vehicles in Dongma?
And the result? After all your hard work, this export tender for 500 vehicles belongs to me, Jiangyang County Agricultural Machinery Factory!"
An export order for 500 vehicles!
Zhao Tao's words immediately caused a buzz of whispers among the onlookers. Some newcomers even gasped in shock.
Good heavens, a deal for 500 units! How much money could that make?
And it was an export to a friendly country, which meant both face and profit!
Jiangyang County Agricultural Machinery Factory? Such an obscure little factory, and they were about to soar to great heights!
Many people around looked at Zhao Tao with envy and jealousy. This young man was so lucky! Why didn't such a good opportunity fall to them?
Also, since they could obtain special export qualifications from the province, did that mean they were destined to be noticed by higher-ups and have a boundless future?
So, if there were any product needs, perhaps they could inquire with their agricultural machinery factory? Even if they didn't need anything, building a good relationship wouldn't hurt, right?
Some quick-witted individuals, with sharp minds, began to look at Zhao Tao with a different perspective.
"How about it? These 500 units, I'm afraid they are more than enough to match your car factory's sales in its peak year, aren't they? Heh heh, Wang Yu, I advise you one thing: some people and things are beyond your imagination!"
Zhao Tao grinned, showing his utmost pride, and looked at Wang Yu askance, as if looking at the most humble of slugs.
"Oh? 500 cars? That's truly beyond my imagination..." Wang Yu smiled, then paused for a moment and turned to Han Jun behind him, "Could you please tell Director Zhao how many units we have ordered at this industrial expo?"
"Yes, Little Factory Director." Han Jun nodded at Wang Yu, then turned to Zhao Tao, "It's not that much, we've only ordered 5,000 units."
