Chapter 0004 has been despised

The state-owned Yuzhang City Printing Factory is the largest printing factory in Yuzhang City, responsible for over 70% of the printing work in the entire city. It is also the factory with the most and the most complete equipment in Yuzhang City. Therefore, Jia Yapeng's first stop was here, hoping that they could assist him in printing cards

Thus, when he arrived at the printing factory with the mindset that the customer is always right, what he received was a perfect cold shoulder. Upon hearing that Jia Yapeng was merely a small individual entrepreneur running a noodle factory that even had an unfamiliar name, they lost all interest in conversing with him.

"General Manager Jia, do you think General Manager Wang is deceiving us? Where did he get the machines to print our materials?" On the way back, Xiao Yi asked in a low voice.

The prices of devices like this are generally shockingly high. Apart from large-scale manufacturers, how could those small private factories, which are as insignificant as sesame seeds and mung beans, possibly produce such items

I have long heard that this printing factory's business has been nearly taken over and is about to close down, and it turns out to be true! It seems we will have to find someone else to print our packaging bags.

There is a way! Jia Yapeng patted his pocket, but he did not take out a cigarette. He could only touch his nose and say, "If there are no hens laying eggs, does that mean we can't eat steamed eggs?"

No deception towards the young and the old! I can even pay you a deposit of 1,000 yuan right now to secure 100,000 cards! Jia Yapeng is indeed making a significant investment, directly taking out 1,000 yuan, which is the equivalent of 15 months' salary for an ordinary worker. Hearing this, Xiao Yi behind him felt his eyes welling up with tears.

Here, Jia Yapeng spent a full two weeks to barely complete 20 cards of the heroes from Water Margin, which he handed over to General Wang. It is impossible to depict all 108 heroes from Water Margin in a short period of time

"How could that be? If it was printed here, we are also considered old customers, so it is impossible for them to not let us in!" Xiao Yi, an employee under Jia Yapeng, said with a bitter smile, "We printed it at a small individual printing factory in Xiaojiu Village. Small factories like ours basically print there, because only they accept such small printing volumes from us!"

This is somewhat troublesome, as this small printing house cannot print my Water Margin hero cards! Jia Yapeng felt anxious. Printing a hard card seems to be a very simple task in the eyes of people today. One can simply place an order on Taobao, and the cost of a single card is even less than one cent.

That would be a disturbance! Although Jia Yapeng really wanted to say this and then leave immediately

So it is Brother Yi, why have you come today? Is it because your factory is running low on packaging bags? Didn't I send over a full 100,000 pieces last time? It seems that your factory's business must be booming. How many do you need this time? I guarantee I will deliver them to you in the shortest time possible, " said Director Wang, patting his chest.

By the way, what do you need to print? Please give me the sample!

Do you really deliver goods upon payment? Moreover, each card costs 0.02 yuan! Mr. Wang's eyes widened with rage. Do not underestimate the price of 0.02 yuan per card; this was in the 1990s, an era when one could buy a piece of candy or an ice pop for just 0.01 yuan

Director Wang is clearly over 10 years older than Xiao Yi, yet he calls him "Brother Yi" so effortlessly. It is truly astonishing that a person like this has not made a fortune and has ended up in such a position

Mr. Wang, the 100,000 packaging bags you sent last time, there are still 90,000 sitting there now, and they are completely useless!" Xiao Yi said coldly, while Mr. Wang awkwardly smiled.

Hmm... CEO Wang displayed hesitation and conflict on his face. He took out a crooked cigarette from his pocket, bit it but did not light it, instead, he desperately inhaled as if he could smoke a cigarette without actually consuming it.

However, Jia Yapeng could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive. After being rejected by the large factory, he brought his team to the small wine village and encountered this small printing factory

However, in the 1990s, this was undoubtedly a significant issue, as producing rigid cards that met Jia Yapeng's requirements was a task of considerable technical complexity. Domestic equipment was unable to achieve this; only foreign equipment could print them.

"Then may I ask what brings you here this time, Brother Yi?" President Wang continued to wear a smile.

So it is Director Wang! Xiao Yi clearly recognized the other party and then lowered his head to introduce to Jia Yapeng, This is Director Wang of Tiandi Printing Factory, and we are old friends. All of our packaging bags are printed here

The security guard made a phone call to the office, and then the people in the office had a brief conversation with Jia Yapeng over the phone. Upon learning that Jia Yapeng had only ordered 200,000 small cards, which amounted to less than half a day's workload, they shook their heads and refused to let Jia Yapeng and his team enter, directly stating that they were too busy to accommodate them

Perhaps I can look for opportunities in other cities! Jia Yapeng has already been contemplating alternative plans in his mind. Regardless of the circumstances, his grand scheme for wealth must not be delayed. Whatever he sets out to do, he must accomplish it!

However, Jia Yapeng is not a person living in the 1990s, so he has no idea how impressive state-owned enterprises were during that time, at least in the eyes of the state-owned enterprises themselves, they believed they were quite remarkable

Anger aside, after the outburst, Jia Yapeng still must consider the production and printing issues of the cards. If this problem is not resolved, his grand plans for wealth will merely be a fleeting illusion.

"Damn it, one day I will make this factory go bankrupt!" After being forcibly driven out, Jia Yapeng pointed at the massive enterprise and cursed loudly, while the two workers beside him looked helplessly at their little boss, listening to the foolish words coming out of his mouth.

Man can conquer nature; as long as one takes action, there is nothing in this world that cannot be accomplished

Jia Yapeng initially thought he would witness a bustling scene of active work, but to his surprise, he found a scene even quieter than his own factory. The entire factory was essentially in a state of closure, with the main gate firmly shut, showing no signs of being opened at all

How can we find a way? Such equipment costs at least 100,000 dollars each, and I am already nearly 100,000 dollars in debt. Where am I supposed to get such equipment for printing?" Mr. Wang's face was filled with helplessness and despair

"Xiao Yi, which factory did we use to print our packaging bags? Is it the same printing factory?" Jia Yapeng asked with a furrowed brow

"Excuse me, are you here to place an order? Our factory is still operating, we are open for business, and we can print anything!" Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a dark and weathered face, riding a bicycle, rushed over and said urgently.

Each card costs 2 cents! Jia Yapeng looked at the other party and said calmly, "Cash on delivery, you give me as many cards as you can print, and I will give you the corresponding amount of money. As long as you can produce them, you can receive the money immediately!"

How could a mere private enterprise owner possibly bring down a large state-owned enterprise? What could be more foolish than this? It seems that this instant noodle company is still unable to sustain itself, and it is uncertain whether they will be able to receive their own salaries for the past 12 months

"I wonder what new products your esteemed company intends to order?" Upon hearing that the other party was there to place an order, General Manager Wang became even more enthusiastic

"My dear, this thing is really beautifully drawn. No wonder you had to use such advanced machinery. But can this really be sold?" President Wang looked at Jia Yapeng with confusion, then seriously took the original draft, as if it were his own life.

It is like this... Jia Yapeng thoroughly introduced the card materials and printing effects he needed. However, Mr. Wang showed a difficult expression halfway through. After listening to the entire explanation, he helplessly shook his head and said, "Our factory cannot produce this. It requires foreign equipment to achieve. Only the Yuzhang City Printing Factory in the entire Yuzhang region has such equipment. A small factory like mine simply does not have such capabilities"

However, for some reason, whenever Jia Yapeng sees General Manager Wang, he always has a feeling that he can succeed. Thus, after hesitating for a moment, Jia Yapeng said, "General Manager Wang, can't you think of another way? How about using a piece of equipment?"

It is like this! We would like to order a new product! Jia Yapeng proactively stepped forward and extended a hand. Mr. Wang was initially taken aback, then pleasantly surprised, and he reached out with both hands to firmly shake Jia Yapeng's hand.

I... Jia Yapeng was just about to write the words "damn it" on his face, but he never had high hopes for this small factory. After discovering that the other party had already closed down, he was ready to leave with his people.

"Good!" General Manager Wang stamped his foot, "I do not want your deposit, but I cannot guarantee when I will be able to provide it to you, though it will definitely be within one month!"
