Chapter 91 Seeing an old friend again

Li Zhenzhen sat behind the desk, raised her head and said, "Vice President Xie, what can I do for you?"

Xie Changping stood with his hands down and said respectfully, "Boss, you asked me to buy gold bricks, and now there is some progress."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Li Zhenzhen put down the pen in her hand and leaned forward slightly.

Xie Changping thought for a moment before saying, "Boss, our company has sent a message to the mainland, saying that the kiln factory no longer produces gold bricks, but only ordinary bricks for ordinary people to build houses. However, after hearing that gold bricks can be exported to exchange for foreign exchange, they were very happy and said they were willing to resume production for us, but..."

"But what?" Li Zhenzhen was a little puzzled.

Xie Changping bowed and said, "Boss, even if they start production now, it will take at least two years to produce gold bricks. Isn't that too long?"

Li Zhenzhen picked up a pen and tapped it lightly on the table, pondering, "This is indeed a question. Why does it take so long? Have you ever learned about it?"

Xie Changping walked closer and said, "Boss, I heard from them that the production process of this gold brick is very complicated. It seems to require dozens of processes. The process of refining mud alone takes seven or eight months, and it must be done entirely by hand. If it cannot be replaced by machines, the speed will naturally be slow. "

Li Zhenzhen used her eyes to signal Xie Changping to sit down and asked, "Has Mr. Xue's design draft not been submitted yet?"

Xie Changping shook his head and said, "Not yet. It has been a few days. I have also urged him, but he said that slow work produces fine work."

Li Zhenzhen stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment, and said, "Then how about this, you go to Mr. Xue first and ask him how long it will take. If you rush, If we can afford it, we can place an order with Suzhou."

"Okay, boss. Uh... one more thing."

Without Li Zhenzhen asking, Xie Changping took the initiative to say, "In fact, the news from the mainland is that there is a village called Yuyao, and many villagers have gold bricks hidden in their homes. If we want them, they can send people to collect them and sell them to us. However, we estimate that the quantity of those gold bricks is not enough and may not meet our needs, boss. Do you think we should take them?"

"Yes! Of course!" Li Zhenzhen sat up straight and said, "These gold bricks preserved by the people are good things, of course we want them. Vice President Xie, tell them that we will take as many as they have."

Speaking of this, Li Zhenzhen suddenly remembered and asked, "Vice President Xie, how are you doing with the Taihu stone and Huanghuali wood? Is there any progress?"

"Yes!" Xie Changping nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "Sure enough, As the boss expected, they were very welcoming to our request and were already preparing. They would be able to ship it over later. Even the antiques that the boss specified were almost ready. "

"That's good," Li Zhenzhen nodded slightly, and then said, "I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on Mr. Xue for a while. See if you can urge him a little bit."

"Okay, I got it, boss. I'll leave first." Xie Changping stood up and said.

"Well, go ahead." Li Zhenzhen watched him go.

Although Li Zhenzhen and the others were more anxious, the design drawings were obviously not something that could be rushed. After several days, Xue Youqin finally finished the design drawings and sent them to Li Zhenzhen.
