Chapter 38 Destiny
At the entrance of the DreamToys toy factory, looking at the black Mercedes-Benz car approaching slowly, An Rusong hurriedly put away the fatigue on his face and replaced it with a hearty smile.
Soon, a Mercedes-Benz approached and stopped less than three or four meters away from An Rusong. The door opened and a blond middle-aged man wearing a light brown T-shirt and black casual trousers appeared. The young man got out of the car with a smile on his face.
Hmm.
It’s not that An Rusong likes to praise and criticize others. Thinking back to the mother and daughter Jia Silin he saw in the cafe a few days ago, it was really difficult for him to put aside the middle-aged man in front of him. , and think of the mother and daughter together.
In An Rusong's memory, Jia Silin was tall and beautiful, and even people believed her when they said she was a model. And her daughter, little Eileen, is also beautiful, cute and lovable.
But the Mr. Mike in front of me, oh, he is not short, he is over 1.8 meters tall, but that face...how can I describe it.
When most people describe Westerners, they say that they have sunken eye sockets and a strong sense of three-dimensionality. And this Mr. Mike’s eye sockets are not sunken, his entire eye sockets are sunken, as if a big winter melon had been hit with a stick.
Not to mention, his cheekbones are very convex, his forehead is big, and his hairline is very high. At first glance, his face looks like a skull.
In addition, when this guy walked, his shoulders seemed to be suspended by a rope, and his back was bent under his neck. An Rusong speculated that Mr. Mike should have ankylosing spondylitis.
However, regardless of whether the parents are ugly or not, they are all buyers, and they are big-name buyers. Although the purchase volume of 20,000 pieces is not that high, for today's DreamToys toy factory, it is a big deal. An unqualified start. The most important thing is that the toys purchased in this batch will be sold to the United States.
That’s America, not Han Min crying!
So, in order to prepare for Mr. Mike's arrival today, An Rusong called again last night to call back all the workers in the factory, and spent one night to carefully renovate the toy factory from inside to outside. Cleaned and tidied up again.
"Mr. Mike," An Rusong greeted him with a smile on his face. He bowed first, then extended his hand and said, "I am An Rusong. Welcome to visit DreamToys toy factory."< br>< br>"Hello, Mr. An," despite his ugly appearance, Mr. Mike was very courteous and polite. He also bowed to An Rusong before shaking hands with him. , "I'm causing you trouble."
"It's our honor for Mr. Mike to come to our factory for inspection," An Rusong said politely and casually made a gesture of invitation, inviting him to enter the factory.
The DreamToys toy factory is small, but after a night of cleaning, the factory looks very clean, and whether it is the work of the workers or the placement of the equipment, everything looks orderly and impressive. The perception of people is very good.
While showing Mike around, An Rusong introduced the production process of Screaming Chicken in detail, including the material standards selected in the factory, the patents applied for, and so on.
It can be seen that Mike is quite satisfied with the situation in the toy factory. The most important thing is that he is very satisfied with the materials used in the toys. Americans take this toy very seriously. If the materials used in the toy do not meet the corresponding standards, the importer will bear heavy penalties. Therefore, Mike doesn't mind much about the size of the toy factory, but he is very concerned about the materials used in toys.
After walking around in the toy factory, Mike happily signed an order contract with An Rusong. It wasn't until the contract was signed that An Rusong knew that the company Mike was working for was actually Costco in the United States, also known as Costco or Costco.
Through the conversation between the two, An Rusong learned that Mike is the financial officer of Costco's investment headquarters in South Korea. He actually does not have the power to purchase goods. Moreover, as a giant membership-based warehousing wholesaler, Costco has no role in purchasing goods. Formally, we do not tend to take the initiative, but rely on door-to-door recommendations from suppliers.
The reason why Mike called An Rusong was because he received a positive recommendation from his wife Jia Silin and saw product placement in the program "Two Days and One Night" yesterday. Actively contacted An Rusong.
As a financial officer stationed in South Korea from the US headquarters, although Mike is not responsible for the purchase of goods, he still has a high say in Costco’s investment headquarters in South Korea. What’s more, according to the order contract , the price of each Screaming Chicken toy is US$3, and the total order of 20,000 pieces is only US$60,000, which is just a test of the waters.
Of course, the most important thing is that Mike is really optimistic about this toy, because his daughter Eileen likes this featherless chicken with a very charming sound.
For An Rusong, this order with a total amount of 60 million won is not actually that big, but it is a good sign. In addition, the buyer is a Yankee after all, and it is Costco. With South Korea’s admiration for the United States, the toys that can be sold there must be good toys. In the future, toy factories will even be able to use this order for publicity.
Furthermore, if this thing really becomes popular after being introduced to the United States, then the toy factory will make a lot of money.
At the door of the toy factory, watching the Mercedes-Benz driving away, An Rusong let out a breath. In a vague sense, he had a hunch that there seemed to be opportunities for further cooperation between himself and this outrageously ugly Mr. Mike.
But look at the watch, it's almost ten o'clock.
Today is the day when his sister An Rubin comes to Seoul. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, who has never left home since she was a child, comes to Seoul for the first time from the remote Wonton-ri, Gangwon-do. , she was unfamiliar with the place. If An Rusong didn't pick her up, she would probably die at the station.
I asked Rubin about the train schedule in advance and arrived in Seoul on time at 11:15. However, the train from Gangwon Province stopped at Cheongnyangni Station and it would take some time to get there. Therefore, An Rusong had to leave quickly now. After a few words with the people in the factory, An Rusong hurriedly took a taxi and went straight to Qingliangli Railway Station.
Qingliangli Railway Station is located at Qingliangli Station on Metro Line 1. When An Rusong arrived at the station, it was almost 11:20. The exit was crowded with people, all of whom had taken the Beijing-Chun train. Passengers coming to Seoul from trains on the Yeongdong-Taebaek Line.
The exit of the station, which is more than ten meters wide, is full of people. It is not easy to find a specific person from this crowded crowd.
Being blocked by the passenger flow at the fence on the right side of the exit, An Rusong was quite annoyed. If he had known this, he should have put a pick-up sign. Of course, the main reason for this negligence was that he didn't take this sister seriously.
Fortunately, this crowd of passengers should have gotten off a train. After just a few minutes, the passenger flow at the exit of the station became much thinner.
An Rusong looked around and quickly locked on the target.
Just beside the fence on the left after exiting the station, a girl with a ponytail, a white half-sleeved shirt with blue stripes on her upper body, and a brown pleated short skirt was talking to a thank you The middle-aged man was arguing. The two of them were holding a black backpack, and they were pulling it towards me. I pulled it and tore it apart.
An Rusong recognized the girl at a glance, but she was not the sister in her predecessor's memory.
He glanced at the middle-aged man who was fighting with An Rubin and saw that although the other man was wearing a gray suit, the suit was wrinkled and he didn't know how many years he had worn it. On his feet was a pair of leather shoes, the uppers stained with dust.
Obviously, this guy cannot be a person with any background or identity.
He walked over without saying a word, and when he got closer, he heard An Rubin say firmly: "I won't go with you, I want to wait for my brother, he will find a job for me!"
"What kind of job can he find for you?" The middle-aged man grabbed a strap of his backpack and kept saying, "You said it yourself, he is just in the office You are just working for people in a toy factory. What kind of job can a toy factory worker find for you?"
An Rubin looked anxious. She seemed to want to say something, but she changed her face. After a while, when she saw An Rusong walking towards her quickly, she was stunned for a moment, and the middle-aged man grabbed the backpack in her hand.
Snatching the backpack from the girl's hand, the wretched middle-aged man's face lit up with joy. He thought that this beautiful girl had been persuaded by him and wanted to reach out and grab her wrist. As a result, he didn't catch the opponent's wrist, but a hand stretched out from Hengli and pinched his wrist firmly.
The person who grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist was naturally An Rusong, who walked over quickly. He grabbed the opponent's wrist and without waiting for the opponent to react, he directly raised his fist and punched the middle-aged man's wretched face hard.
This punch hit the middle-aged man's nose firmly. He screamed and squatted on the ground with his hands covering his nose.
An Rusong bent down, grabbed the backpack, and pulled it hard into his arms.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man was beaten until his nosebleed, but he still grabbed his backpack and refused to let go.
How could An Rusong be polite to him? He pulled hard with one hand, raised his leg at the same time, aimed at the opponent's shoulder and kicked him.
The middle-aged man was kicked to the ground, and the hand covering his nose was thrown away, and his exposed face was covered with nosebleeds.
"Brother, brother" An Rubin, who was standing aside, quickly came up to stop him, lest he beat the middle-aged man to death for pestering her.
An Rusong struggled twice, but failed to free his sister's hand. Then he spat fiercely at the middle-aged man, looked around at the crowd watching the excitement, and then pulled He picked up his sister's wrist and walked away.
From the beginning to the end, no one onlookers came up to stop him.
This country is like this. No matter how it is shown on TV or in movies, it cannot change the reality of social indifference - maybe this is the case in every country that is experiencing economic growth.
