Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 301 Showing weakness to the enemy

Soon it was the day for Shichun to bid for the Yucheng Paper Mill. This time Chunni sent Lin Fengwan and He Yanning to attend.

Yucheng Paper Mill came prepared. At the beginning of the bidding, it presented various qualifications, data analysis, and how much money the paper mill had invested in the country's socialist construction in recent years and how much it had achieved. Gou Zhenhua spoke nonstop for several hours.

On the other hand, Shichun seemed to be completely shocked by the strength of the paper mill and intimidated by Gou Zhenhua's aggressive momentum. They seemed confused and ignorant. They would only repeat "we were not prepared in advance" and "our information was not complete enough". The first round of negotiations ended in this unclear situation. Gou Zhenhua, the representative of the paper mill, did not take Shichun, a small factory with only a few hundred people, seriously. No matter what tricks he played, he could break them one by one. How could a private enterprise like that compete with a giant like a paper mill?

There was a determined smile in his eyes.

Half a month later, the government organized a second round of negotiations. Perhaps because Shichun was incompetent in the previous round of negotiations, he completely replaced the negotiators.

Chu Jie and Qiu Guo were the ones who attended the negotiations.

In the second round, Gou Zhenhua repeated the content of the first round. Unexpectedly, the result was exactly the same as the first round of negotiations. Shichun ended the negotiation inexplicably in the name of further study.

The director in charge of the bidding on the government side was a man named Zhu. He didn't understand what Shichun was up to, and he didn't want to remind Gou Zhenhua, the flatterer. But wasting production time was wasting money, and he didn't want the production line to gather dust in the warehouse.

So he announced, "Whether you are ready or not, we will announce the bidding results tomorrow morning."

In short, the bidding must come to an end tomorrow.

"Shichun, how dare a small factory from a small place compete with the paper mill." The paper mill was already confident and started discussing as soon as they left the government gate.

"I heard that the boss of Shichun is actually a woman, what can that do!" One of the bald men spat on the ground and then stomped on it twice, as if the spit was the female boss of Shichun.

"Tell me, is it because she is a woman that she is qualified to bid with us?" the bald man asked obscenely.

"Who knows! But women! It's more convenient than men to do things in some ways." Gou Zhenhua obviously had something in mind!

Several people smiled obscenely, and someone suggested, "Since it's time to get off work, why don't we just go have dinner?"

"Just celebrate in advance!"

"Yes, yes. I heard there's a new hot pot restaurant opened near Jiefangbei. The food is delicious."

"Let's go, let's go, let's celebrate in advance!"

The group headed towards Jiefangbei, but it was so hot that eating hotpot was not enough. Someone ordered iced beer, and someone added white wine to the beer...

The next day, Chunni brought Lin Fengwan and Chu Jie to the place on time.

The people from the paper mill were also there, but they didn't seem to be in good spirits.

When Gou Zhenhua saw Chunni's figure, he was suddenly startled, and his dizziness caused by the hangover suddenly became clear.

Unexpectedly, Shichun’s boss turned out to be her!

However, Gou Zhenhua remained calm. He had made sufficient preparations, and he had memorized the previous two speeches by heart. He just didn't believe that she, a little girl, could compete with the paper mill for food.

This time, Shichun broke with their usual attitude and brought with them a large amount of reliable information and data, and made very detailed plans for matters related to the site, production line, maintenance, and even all the details.

Gou Zhenhua was dumbfounded, unable to find any loopholes in Shichun's speech. He also began his long speech, but there were too many key points to remember, and his hungover brain kept stalling, making his presentation less than satisfactory.

Director Zhu, who originally favored Yucheng Paper Mill, frowned.

Gou Zhenhua regained some clarity. Victory or defeat was before his eyes, so he could not afford to be in a daze. He pondered for a moment and clenched his fists.

"Director Zhu, our paper mill has made a lot of preparations for the new production line, and even reached an agreement with Professor Chu from Yucheng University. She will donate her new research result - non-woven fabric - to the paper mill."

"Oh?" Director Zhu became interested.

Gou Zhenhua also perked up. "I heard that non-woven fabric has good air permeability, can absorb water better, is soft and comfortable, and is very suitable for use in feminine hygiene products."

Chunni touched her nose and raised the corners of her mouth.

Director Zhu's eyes flashed.

"Did you bring the agreement?"

Gou Zhenhua's heart tightened at this, and he said calmly: "The agreement is in the factory archives. I didn't bring it with me today."

Chunni smiled brightly, and a hint of teasing flashed across her fair, jade-like face.

"I'm afraid the paper mill can't come up with an agreement and is trying to fool Director Zhu!"

"Director Yang, are you saying that my paper mill lied?" Gou Zhenhua's expression twisted, and a bad premonition spread from his heart.

No, that won't happen. As long as he goes to beg his aunt, she will definitely help him. When the time comes, he will hand over the agreement, and no one can take away his credit!

"Humph. I said you were lying, but you didn't mention the paper mill." Chunni had long disliked Gou Zhenhua! He was an ungrateful wolf in sheep's clothing.

That’s right, he is Hua Jingshu’s ungrateful nephew.

"Don't slander me." Gou Zhenhua was furious. He turned to Director Zhu and said in a friendly manner, "Director Zhu, don't listen to her nonsense. We really got the formula of the non-woven fabric. But you have to wait. I will go back to get it."

He went back to look for his aunt.

"Hey, maybe he doesn't have it, but I do have a copy." Chunni pulled out the agreement between Teacher Chu and Shichun from her bag. This was added when Chunni gave her the money.

Unexpectedly, this agreement came in handy!

Director Zhu carefully read the agreement and looked at Gou Zhenhua meaningfully.

"Does the paper mill have any more cards? Take them all out!"

Gou Zhenhua's heart skipped a beat. "No more."

"Well, then, you guys go back and wait for notification!" Director Zhu chased them away.

Chunni left with Lin Fengwan and Chu Jie in high spirits, leaving the paper mill staff listless like defeated roosters.

This bidding is led by a big shot. If it fails...

They shuddered at the thought of the consequences that they could not possibly bear.
