314: Signed a contract for processing air-conditioning chips

"Okay, let's go back to the office to talk, don't let Xiaolin worry pointlessly in the workshop," Tong Mingzhu said with a smile.

The three people reached the entrance of the passage, took off their dust suits, walked out of the Chip Production Workshop, and after walking for a while, returned to the office.

"You're finally back!" Hong Tongtong ran out happily after seeing Liu Xiaolin, Dad, and Mom return to the office.

"You can't leave after just this short time?" Tong Mingzhu said with a smile.

"Didn't I just recover from a serious illness? I need to be taken care of," Hong Tongtong said with a smile.

"Then do you want to come home with us and rest for a while?" Hong Youli asked with concern.

"No! You might go on a business trip again someday and leave me alone at home," Hong Tongtong said, pouting.

"How about this? You come home with us and stay for a few days. After our Chip samples are ready in a few days, we'll come over to pick them up and bring you back at the same time. How does that sound?" Tong Mingzhu asked.

"Like that? Okay!" Hong Tongtong also wanted to spend more time with Dad and Mom. "Then it's settled. As long as you're on a business trip, I'll come here to study."

"Let's not stay at the house on the mountainside anymore. It's too far from here, taking several hours to get there. Living at our home in the city will be fine. This way, Xiaolin can come home for dinner and stay home every day. It's the best of both worlds, right?" Hong Youli said when he saw that his daughter was very reluctant to leave Liu Xiaolin.

"That's right! We can let Xiaolin stay at home after work, so we can still see each other every day," Hong Tongtong said with a smile. "It's all your fault! You refused to stay at home with me in the beginning, insisting it was inconvenient for two people to live at home."

"Xiaolin was right. Don't blame him anymore," Tong Mingzhu said.

"Okay, let's go home now and make lots of delicious food. Xiaolin can eat home-cooked meals when he gets off work," Hong Tongtong couldn't wait to go back.

"Why don't we eat at the cafeteria for lunch? We can go back to rest after lunch, saving us the trouble of cooking when we get home," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Okay, that's great! I love the sweet and sour pork ribs at our cafeteria. I never get tired of eating them. Dad and Mom, you can try them later, they taste very good. Xiaolin said that the Master Fu at their cafeteria are all experts invited from various places," Hong Tongtong said.

"Okay, we wanted to talk to Xiaolin anyway," Tong Mingzhu said with a smile.

"There's still something important?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"We also need to sign a contract for you to make the Chip samples today. Also, even though we only have five hundred Chips, the contract still needs to be signed. Company-to-company business means none of these steps can be skipped. We still have to report to the other shareholders when we go back," Hong Youli said with a smile.

"Is that so? Then I'll call Minister Bu from the Sales Department over and let him communicate with you. How does that sound?" Liu Xiaolin thought that since it was company-to-company business, it would be better to let the Sales Department handle it.

"No problem, it's more convenient for us to communicate with the Sales Department," Hong Youli also thought it was more direct to communicate with the Sales Department.

Liu Xiaolin then called Minister Bu.

Ten minutes later, Bu Jinmai jogged over. "General Manager Liu, is there something?"

"Yes, talk to General Manager Hong and General Manager Tong from Deli Air Conditioning about the contract. It's not very convenient for me to participate," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Okay, no problem." Bu Jinmai looked at the two extraordinary people in front of him. He recognized them; they were Hong Tongtong's legendary Dad and Mom.

"How about we go to the Sales Department to talk? Let's not discuss it here," Hong Youli felt that when discussing the contract, he should try to avoid Liu Xiaolin as much as possible to prevent outsiders from gossiping, especially to prevent gossip from reaching the ears of other shareholders of Deli Air Conditioning.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to the Sales Department for some tea," Bu Jinmai was a smart person and naturally understood the stakes involved.

He took Hong Youli and Tong Mingzhu to the Sales Department.

The Sales Department had been very busy recently because more than twenty mobile phone manufacturers had sent their Chip demand forms. They had been tensely compiling the urgent Chip demand forms and then signing contracts and specifying shipping schedules according to priority.

This was not a simple job. Everyone had been busy for several days and had only completed a small portion of the work, and new demand forms were constantly being sent by customers.

However, Hong Youli and Tong Mingzhu were Hong Tongtong's parents, so they should naturally be given priority. Although there would be no discounts on costs and unit prices, some consideration could be given in terms of urgency.

Bu Jinmai had already understood Liu Xiaolin's meaning from some hints given during his phone call.

"Our Chip samples will be prioritized for research and development and process formulation. General Manager Liu has already told me about this," Minister Bu said with a smile. "As for the cost, we will treat you the same as other customers. For the first cooperation, we can offer a 10% discount."

"No need for a discount. We're already a bit embarrassed to cut in line for R&D," Tong Mingzhu refused, not wanting to use her personal connections to benefit other shareholders.

"That's true. Usually, cutting in line in advance also adds some costs. So, no discount then?" Bu Jinmai said, following the lead.

"Yes, no need for a discount. The unit price can be the same as for other customers," Hong Youli said.

"Okay, okay. We have a paper contract. Once both parties sign and stamp it, the contract will become effective. When the Chip samples are ready, we will call you two," Bu Jinmai took out the paper contract, quickly filled in all the terms, and handed it to Hong Youli. "Please take a look and see if there are any places that need to be modified."

Hong Youli habitually took the contract and read it carefully. There were basically no problems, so he signed his name and casually handed it to Tong Mingzhu. "You have the company seal, right? You stamp it."

Tong Mingzhu took the contract, also habitually read through it, and then took out the company seal and stamped it.

Bu Jinmai thought to himself, this couple is quite cautious. Even doing business with their own son-in-law, they still read the contract carefully. They are truly corporate elites.

But he didn't say anything out loud, just took the contract with a smile and said, "I'll go find General Manager Liu to sign it. The contract will be effective after I stamp it when I get back."

"Let's go together. Anyway, we're going to the cafeteria with Xiaolin for lunch later," Tong Mingzhu suggested, not wanting to wait here doing nothing.

"Okay, okay, then I'll accompany you to General Manager Liu's office," Bu Jinmai thought whatever was fine; it was their family's business anyway.

The three people returned to the General Manager's office. Liu Xiaolin took the contract and signed it. After Bu Jinmai stamped it, he gave the first copy to Hong Youli. "General Manager Hong, this copy of the contract is for you. I will keep one for archiving."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work," Hong Youli took the contract and put it into his briefcase.
