Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

"I'm just being arrogant and calling you Director Li." When Lu Shanhai heard it, he realized that it was the deputy director of logistics. The cadres in Beijing are one level higher than those in other places, so he quickly raised his glass to greet him.

"Secretary Lu, you are too polite. You can call me whatever you want!" Li Guohua also returned him a glass.

"Well, the capital is still better. We have nothing in this stupid place! Not to mention the workers, even the clothes of the cadres have been worn for years, patched up with patches, just like the shepherds."

Seeing that they had almost finished drinking, Old Man Lu got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"This……"

Zhou Dayou was a little confused. Usually, people would say this kind of thing in a very euphemistic way. How could they beg for alms directly like this? The problem was that his rank was not high enough, and his words were not binding. Before he left, the factory leaders did not give him this right.

The same was true for Wang Hao. At first he thought the comrades from Ulan City were being polite by preparing such a sumptuous feast in the evening. He never expected it to be a Hongmen Banquet. He was now a little disappointed.

"Brother Lu, in fact, our textile factory is just a bunch of rubbish. After allocating the annual production quota within the plan, the remaining is not even enough for us. Of course, if you need it, Brother Lu, I can take the initiative to share some with you."

"Oh, that's too polite! Drink, drink, drink. But Brother Zhou, how much of this do you have?" It turned out that food can shut people up. When he saw that the other party had given in, Old Man Lu became happy.

Zhou Dayou gritted his teeth and prepared to make the decision. At worst, he would get scolded when he got back.

"At most ten!" Zhou Dayou stretched out his hands and gestured.

Li Guohua almost spit out a mouthful of soup, you are not here to make people happy. Eat the whole lamb banquet, give ten horses, believe it or not, you, Brother Lu, will become Uncle Lu.

"What, ten horses? Secretary Zhou, are you trying to make fun of me, an old man?"

As soon as Lu Shanhai heard the word "ten horses", he was furious and stopped calling him "brother". The several comrades from Wulanshi who came with him also changed their expressions, as if they were ready to fight if they disagreed.

Wang Hao and Zhou Dayou were in a very difficult situation. They had offended someone before they even left the house. They would definitely be punished when they returned.

"Hahaha, hahaha!" Li Guohua laughed loudly and others looked over.

"What are you laughing at, little comrade?" Lu Shanhai asked angrily with his eyes wide open.

I'm well fed and well cared for, yet you only give me ten pieces of cloth. Aren't you looking down on me?

"Secretary Lu, look, Secretary Zhou is joking with you, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Li Guohua knew that if he didn't show up, he would be in trouble.

What kind of trouble will this cause? It would be a small matter to offend people, but you would not be able to complete other tasks, and the cloth on the cart might be stolen by you. Wrong, it was an emergency loan, an adjustment, a matter between comrades, can it be called robbery?

"What a joke! Are you trying to make fun of me?" Old Man Lu took a sip of his wine and said unhappily.

"Well, this wine is good. The comrades in Ulan City treated us with such good wine. They treat us as revolutionary comrades. As revolutionary comrades, how can we let our own people suffer injustices!" Li Guohua stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile.

I saw him take a small sip, then close his eyes and savor it, and finally a smile appeared on his face with absolute confidence.

"Director Li, you are really good at speaking. I'll fill your glass with a full glass!" Lu Shanhai turned into a waiter again and began to compliment Li Guohua.

He also received a critical mission from his superiors this time, so he made such a big fuss.

Moreover, he noticed that among this group of people, Director Li was a little unusual, so the task might still fall on him.

"We understand your difficulties. You know how hard it is to get cloth. You also know the current situation in the country. So it is impossible for us to give you the amount you say."

"Let me put it this way. You name a number. As long as it's not excessive, I can give it a preliminary approval on behalf of the factory. We are all for the sake of building a new China, right?"

"But we can't deliver all the quantities you mentioned to you at once. We can only work overtime outside the plan and deliver them to you in batches!"

Li Guohua did not hesitate and directly stated the current actual situation and some of his own ideas. If they could not accept it, then they could go their separate ways. No matter where they went, he had done his best.

"Oh, Director Li is Director Li, you have a good alcohol tolerance, let me toast you!" This time, there was no need for Old Man Lu, and several comrades from Ulan City began to persuade him to drink.

The main thing is that what Li Guohua said makes sense, and he said it very nicely. He will give you enough, and if it is not enough in one time, he will give it to you in two times until it is enough. Look, what kind of attitude is this? He is such a good comrade.

"Hey, you see, it's all my fault. I'm too old-fashioned and don't know how to be funny! Come on, Captain Wang and Secretary Zhou, let's drink together!"

When Old Man Lu saw that the problem was solved, he started to call Wang Hao and Zhou Dayou again. He is a typical shrewd man.

"Director Li, what do you think about this?"

"Well, you guys come up with a number, and I'll send a telegram to the factory tomorrow. But we don't want any money for this deal. I also know you're in trouble. Can you see if you can use your specialty instead? We can help each other!"

Li Guohua, taking advantage of being drunk, raised his right hand and pointed to somewhere in the north.

It is the largest meat processing plant in Ulan City, and even in the entire North China region. It covers hundreds of acres and has cold storage capacity of tens of thousands of tons. The railway goes directly to the factory, and I heard that there are also underground air defense facilities.

I have acted on my own this time, and I have to give the factory an explanation. Now I am exchanging cloth for meat, so that no one will suffer a loss.

Moreover, I promised to deliver the goods in batches, so the factory will not be under pressure. If it doesn’t work out, we can discuss it further. When the disaster occurs in the second half of the year, my contribution will be more evident.

"No problem, Director Li, whatever you say is fine. If you don't agree, I'll kill you. Ha!" When Old Man Lu heard that he could exchange meat for cloth, he was even more willing to do so. We have nothing here, but plenty of beef and mutton.

Exchanging meat saves trouble in the process. When someone asks about it later, it is not a transaction. It is called mutual adjustment between two units.

Because they had to drive the next day, everyone didn't drink much at night. In the end, a few of them were really happy after drinking and pulled Li Guohua to become sworn brothers, but Li Guohua blocked them.

I am not even twenty years old yet. We sworn brothers do not ask to be born in the same year and month, but we ask to die in the same year and month. It will be you who will suffer the loss.

Originally, Wang Hao and Zhou Dayou were a little worried that the factory would not agree, and the people in the team also felt that Li Guohua was being a little reckless.

But in the middle of the night, comrades from Ulan City brought a dozen sheep with a tractor. Li Guohua suggested that everyone divide them up. No one mentioned the matter again, and only praised Li Guohua for his general spirit.
