Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh, wasn't this woman too efficient?
In this way, a contract for over 5,000 vehicles was signed!
And...
"Don't tell me, the news Huang He got was also deliberately leaked by you."
Wang Yu was speechless, you only brought the contract last night, and Factory Director Lao Huang knew the news this morning and came to find him to settle the score.
Given this woman's style of doing things, if she wasn't responsible, he'd eat the fish plate on the table!
Hmm? Such a rich spread of dishes, where did you go to indulge last night? And brought back leftovers?
Wang Ling was so oily-faced, she'd have indigestion eating so much late at night, she'd need to do more practice questions to help digest.
However, overall, as long as it wasn't wasted, it was good.
Muttering to himself, Wang Yu started eating.
As for her using his name, how to put it... as long as it didn't harm his factory and didn't lead him into any fundamental errors, it was fine.
Moreover, why did he feel a little happy? Did he really like this woman?
Wang Yu was suddenly lost in thought.
"Hey, hey, what are you spacing out about?" Seeing Wang Yu staring intently at her, Wu Lingling said coquettishly, pinching his ear.
"Oh, nothing," Wang Yu shook his head, then muttered, "With you doing this, the old factory director of the bicycle factory even came to trouble me, saying you're killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."
"Hmph, I'm killing the chicken to warn the monkeys!" Wu Lingling sneered disdainfully. "They're calculating their odds. They were worried about losses before, so they changed the contract with you. Now that they see it's profitable, they want to change it back. I'm telling them that you can still operate without them, as if no one can eat pork without Butcher Hu! And it's also a warning to other contract factories cooperating with you, so they don't get ahead of themselves and cause trouble. We can find other partners even without them!"
"The logic is sound, but you're still a bit inconsiderate. Hmm, pass me the soy sauce dish." Wang Yu shook his head while eating, not correcting Wu Lingling's slip of referring to it as "our family." "Those bicycle factories will be able to replicate it soon after they take it back, and then we'll have nothing to do with it."
"As if they wouldn't copy it if I didn't sell it to them," Wu Lingling pursed her lips and smiled. "When your product's technology is ahead of your competitors in the market, they will inevitably imitate it. I'm just accelerating this process and bringing it into the open to make more money."
"And... your core technology is the micro internal combustion engine above, not this fuel-assisted bicycle. Don't think I can't see your ambition."
Wu Lingling rolled her eyes at Wang Yu impatiently. "Even if they research and develop the same fuel-assisted bicycle after taking it back, they can't make this engine. In the end, they'll have to beg you? After all, they can't invest specifically in producing engines for this. Then you'll go from selling hot pot to selling hot pot base, controlling their supply, wouldn't that be better?
Besides, I don't believe you won't come up with more advanced new products!"
"Hmm? You're quite far-sighted," Wang Yu was stunned, not expecting Wu Lingling to have seen through his plan.
The small internal combustion engine was his core, applicable to a very wide range of industrial fields.
This fuel-assisted bicycle for civilian use was merely an auxiliary product, used to generate profits and spread costs.
He would earn as much as he could, and he had already prepared electric vehicles as alternatives, which could be phased out at any time!
However, this was probably what Wang Yu admired most about Wu Lingling: her generosity, straightforwardness, and a broader perspective than ordinary people.
"Of course! I'm also... Hmm, how's the matter with Qinglu Group progressing?"
Wu Lingling's tone suddenly shifted, and she asked Wang Yu with concern.
"Compared to these small matters, my sister is not easy to deal with. When are we going to the provincial capital?"
"Almost, no major problems," Wang Yu said vaguely, shoveling more rice into his mouth. "The agreed meeting place is a star-rated hotel in the provincial capital. Speaking of which, I, a country bumpkin, have never been to a star-rated hotel. We can prepare to leave after finishing things up in the next couple of days. By the way, do you want to go too?"
"Nonsense, if my sister caused the problem, how could I not go?" Wu Lingling gave Wang Yu a pretty eye roll and curled her lips.
"She'll definitely make a big scene. It's good that we go two days in advance, so we can relax and prepare."
"Okay, that works," Wang Yu thought for a moment. "I have been quite exhausted lately."
"Right!"
"What?"
"You should tidy yourself up and look presentable," Wu Lingling suddenly cautioned. "After all, there will definitely be many reporters and media. Don't look as shabby as you do in the factory."
"Oh, now that you mention it, tomorrow is Saturday. How about we go buy a couple of clothes, and you can give me some suggestions?" Wang Yu hesitated slightly, it seemed to be the case.
It seemed his aesthetic sense had always been more... down-to-earth. So it was right to let Wu Lingling give some suggestions.
"Okay," Wu Lingling's lips curved upwards, showing a hint of satisfaction.
"Oh, right, how much did you earn from the fuel-assisted bicycle orders?"
"Ah? You mean this? If we factor in the cost of the micro internal combustion engine, I make about 450 yuan per vehicle," Wang Yu mumbled. "Then there's a processing fee of 50 yuan per vehicle from the bicycle factory, so that's 500.
After all, I spent a lot of effort to compress costs. For example, the angle between the tire rim and the spokes, I calculated precisely dozens of times to achieve the maximum effect with the least amount of spokes... Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished eating, why are you clearing the dishes away?"
Wang Yu watched speechlessly as Wu Lingling cleared away all the dishes from the table.
"I worked my fingers to the bone, and with all my hard work, I only earned 500,000 from such a large order. And you, a black-hearted capitalist, stayed at home eating and sleeping, contributing nothing, yet you earned 2 million lying down!
Why should I give you anything to eat? Go buy your own ingredients and cook if you want to eat!"
Saying that, Wu Lingling turned and stomped into the kitchen.
"I..." Wang Yu was speechless. What did he mean by earning while lying down? What did he mean by contributing nothing?
Weren't his research and development and design investments?
If you replaced him with someone else, for example, that arrogant returnee, that guy with a name like Radish Head, they definitely wouldn't be able to draw such a technically sophisticated blueprint!
And his many workers were relying on him for food. If he didn't make money, what would they eat?
"Alas, women! You really can't reason with them. No matter how generous and bold they are, they're still women!"
Wang Yu shook his head slightly and could only rummage through the refrigerator for the leftover pickled radishes.
...
The next day, Wang Yu and Wu Lingling went to the department store together to buy clothes.
The department store had quite a few clothing styles, and the styles carried the unique flavor of the era, which gave Wang Yu, who came from a later generation, a sense of retro.
"How about this one?" Wu Lingling picked up a jacket and held it up against Wang Yu.
"Why don't you try it on first?"
Taking the jacket, Wang Yu's expression suddenly turned strange.
"This thing... isn't it a bit awkward like this?"
