Chapter 511: Deputy Factory Director

After Li Yi and Wang Dong briefly learned about the situation on the phone, they knew that everything was ready for the self-heating hot pot. However, it was not just the east wind that was lacking. What was being solved at the moment was the self-heating problem of the self-heating hot pot, as well as the material problem. As for what ingredients to put in the hot pot, there was no clue.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning. Since Li Yi had found the way to such a difficult material and such a difficult recipe, the following things could be summarized as a matter of course. As long as he found an experienced chef, there would be no problem.

The next step, which seemed insignificant, was actually the most important step, because the most important thing about food was the ingredients and taste. If he could not find a recipe that could meet the tastes of most people in his lifetime, then in the end it would be a waste of time.

After Li Yi hung up the phone, he went to the packaging factory to take a look. Now the daily affairs of the food processing factory were handed over to Yang Tiezhu, who had gradually taken over. Wei Sanpao was naturally happy to be free, so he mentioned to Li Yi that he also wanted to take a look at the self-heating hot pot.

Li Yi and Wei Sanpao came to the downstairs of the factory side by side and found a van that was used to deliver goods to small shops. Although it looked a bit old, it was very sturdy and durable.

Li Yi and Wei Sanpao drove towards the packaging factory. On the way, Wei Sanpao asked with some doubt:

"Brother Yi, are you really going to stop pursuing Su Fu's responsibility?"

Wei Sanpao was very puzzled about this, because Li Yi used to be a vindictive person, but he was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Now after experiencing the rumors, he can still calmly talk business with the old Jianggan workshop?

This is not like Li Yi!

Li Yi smiled and said:

"What should I do? Break up with the old workshop of dried bean curd? Or both sides just compete for the market? Or never have anything to do with each other again?"

"No..."

Wei Sanpao sighed slowly and said:

"I am getting more and more confused. I am really feeling uncomfortable with this anger!"

Li Yi explained very patiently: "Look at it from another perspective. The biggest problem between our two companies is the conflict in the market. But since there is an opportunity for cooperation in front of us, why should we continue to fight?"

"We are all making money. If we can make more money by adding a famous snack like dried bean curd to our products, why don't we give it a try?"

Wei Sanpao understood what Li Yi meant. That is, Li Yi is not looking at the dispute of wills now, but the more distant market. Qi Rong once said when he was drinking with him before that there is no eternal opponent in terms of opening the door to do business. Profits are eternal, so Li Yi is better than anyone else in this regard.

Wei Sanpao couldn't help but smack his tongue. It seems that what Qi Rong said is indeed correct.

"Brother Yi, aren't you afraid that Su Fu will do something again?"

Li Yi looked at Wei Sanpao helplessly and said:

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Wei Sanpao shook his head subconsciously.

"Then do you think Su Fu is a fool?"

Wei Sanpao did not nod or shake his head this time, but muttered: "I can't see this..."

Li Yi was immediately angry, but still explained:

"Su Fu will not go against us at this time, I can be sure of this, so we can rest assured to cooperate and do our business safely."

"Su Fu is a smart man, he will not use one mistake to cover up another mistake!"

Wei Sanpao secretly pondered the meaning of this sentence, and he felt more and more interesting after turning it over and over. Think about it, if he can hear someone say this about himself in front of outsiders in the future, saying that Wei Sanpao is a smart man, he will definitely do this and that, wouldn't it be very face-saving?

Li Yi naturally knew what Wei Sanpao was thinking, so he smiled and said:

"I don't know whether you are a smart person, but I know you are a frank person. One day, people who have done business with you will say this about you!"

Wei Sanpao smiled and nodded, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the door of the packaging factory.

What the two didn't know was that decades later, when someone mentioned the name Wei Sanpao again, every sentence would be about the word frankness.

...

At the packaging factory, Wang Dong was sitting in the office checking some reports on packaging boxes. After learning that Li Yi and Wei Sanpao had arrived, he immediately got up and left the office and went downstairs to greet them in person. From this, we can see Wang Dong's admiration for Li Yi, not only because Li Yi is famous, but also because of Li Yi's own great talent and strategy.

In Wang Dong's mind, since he knew that Li Yi was personally researching the self-heating hot pot and had seen Li Yi's research steps, the four words "great talent and strategy" used to describe this young man made Wang Dong feel a little stretched.

Li Yi said to Wang Dong with a smile:

"Boss Wang, you don't have to come out to pick it up next time. You see, I am already familiar with this packaging factory. I will inevitably bother you a lot in the future. Can't we just go to the workshop to check it out ourselves?"

Wang Dong said with a smile:

"How can this be possible? How about this, Boss Li, just take the position of deputy factory director from me. Although I can't give you any substantial rights, the treatment is the same as that of the deputy factory director. How about it?"

Wei Sanpao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked around at Li Yi and Wang Dong, thinking, is this boss of the packaging factory actually a distant relative of Brother Yi? How could he say such a thing? Is the title of deputy factory director a piece of cake here? Just give it away?

Li Yi smiled and said:

"It seems that Boss Wang has also seen the development prospects of self-heating hot pot?"

If he hadn't seen the development prospects of self-heating hot pot, would the position of deputy factory director be given away just by saying so?

Apart from this, Wang Dong really had no conditions that could impress Li Yi and let Li Yi cooperate with his packaging factory.

Of course, the position of factory director could not be given. Li Yi was not short of money now, but the only thing he needed was the assistance of some technicians and equipment from the packaging factory. The title of deputy factory director was given away, and it was not really going to hand over the factory to Li Yi for management. It can be said that it was killing two birds with one stone. Wang Dong, the factory director, had his calculations here, and Li Yi could certainly see it.

But this can just reflect Wang Dong's generosity and magnanimity as a businessman. However, for now, Li Yi can only draw a conclusion after watching the experiment of the self-heating hot pot.
