Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

Li Gang didn't know yet that the Automobile Factory, the Cotton Mill, the Tractor Factory, and the Second Machinery Factory had already begun plotting against him.

He still had nothing to do every day. He didn't go to work at the steel mill. He spent the whole day at home playing with the dog and drinking tea. Occasionally he would go to deliver some wild boars to Huang San. Basically, he just lay down at home.

Deputy Director Hu came to Li Gang with a difficult task. Comrade Hu was very smart and could handle things. He brought tea and cigarettes to Li Gang. The cigarettes were in special white boxes given by his old leader. He himself was reluctant to smoke them. There were also many other things, such as oil, sugar, cakes, roast duck, pickles, a piece of cloth, and a set of three-turn and one-ring tickets.

Especially this piece of cloth, this is one piece, not one foot, the four factories must have invested a lot of money, I don't believe that you, Li Gang, have the nerve to accept the gift, how can you refuse it?

The people in the yard had gone to work or school, leaving only some housewives. They watched Deputy Director Hu, Jin and the driver enter the yard with bags of things, especially the piece of cloth that was too conspicuous.

All the old ladies could see that this was a gift for Xiao Si, but the gift was a little too scary. How many clothes could be made from just one piece of cloth?

Nowadays, clothes are usually patched up. Some people in the countryside even use flour bags to make clothes. Look at Xiao Si, he is just a piece of cloth. Everyone is envious and jealous.

Li Gang: "I said, what does the factory manager mean? Don't tell me this is for me."

Deputy Director Hu: "It's for you. I heard that you went into the mountains to hunt for the workers of the steel mill so hard. Isn't this a reward for you?"

Li Gang rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense. The reward is from the steel mill, not your car factory. Besides, they also paid for it."

Deputy Director Hu laughed. "It's the same no matter who rewards you. Besides, I heard that the steel mill cheated you and only paid you half of the market price. This is too black. The market price of pork is 0.87 yuan, but have you seen pork for sale? I don't believe they don't know that the price of pork on the black market has increased by more than five times, and there is no stock yet."

Li Gang: "They have sent people to help. Okay, stop talking about this. Tell me what you mean by these things! If you are too nice to someone, you are either a traitor or a thief. Tell me."

Deputy Director Hu did not beat around the bush and stated the purpose of his visit.

Li Gang stood up immediately after hearing this. "What? Going to Jilin Province? Are you okay? You are crazy about meat. You know how far Jilin Province is. How dare you go so far to hunt? No, I won't go, even if you kill me."

Deputy Factory Director Hu knew that this would be Li Gang's reaction. "You won't go in vain. You don't have to worry about anything. You are only responsible for pointing out the location. When and where to set traps or dig pits, you just need to point them out. The rest will be done by others. We have vehicles, warehouses, and wagons for going back and forth. You don't have to do anything. And you can ask for anything. As long as our four factories have it, we will never refuse it."

Li Gang: This is really thoughtful. "I don't lack anything, I don't need anything, I turn right when I go out, walk slowly, no one will see you off."

Deputy Factory Director Hu said, "Don't be in such a hurry to get rid of them. Think about it first and understand the difficulties faced by my elder brother. Originally, side dishes were in short supply, but the staple food was enough to fill our stomachs. This is also the case in most factories. But you suddenly gave so much meat to the steel mill. Do you think the workers in other factories can remain calm? It's not the equal distribution that is worrying, but the lack of it. So, the workers' emotions are also related to you."

Li Gang: What kind of logic is this? "What? I hunted the wrong animals, so why are you looking for me? Aren't you afraid that if your factory has meat, other factories will come to trouble you?"

Deputy Factory Director Hu: "Hey, so, we are just a few factories joining together? The only thing we lack is a master like you. Didn't the factories ask me to invite you to come out?"

Li Gang: "Okay, no more talk, you guys should go find someone else, I won't go."

No matter what Deputy Factory Director Hu said, Li Gang refused to go, so he had to go back home. He gave the things to Li Gang and did not take them back.

Deputy Director Hu returned with a failure, and several factory leaders gathered together for a meeting again.

Everything was ready except for Li Gang. FAW had arranged for the vehicles and the personnel, but Li Gang was not going. Other hunters did not have Li Gang's skills. Although there were many wild animals there, none of them were like Li Gang. He could find a wild boar at any time.

Finally, it was decided to invite Li Gang to the automobile factory for a meal. At the dinner table, four factory leaders tried to appeal to his emotions and reason with him. If they really couldn't invite him, then they had to give up.

Li Gang still asked Deputy Factory Director Hu to invite him to the automobile factory. At the dinner table, Deputy Factory Director Hu introduced the good guys to the factory directors, and the worst one was Deputy Factory Director Hu.

Not to mention that there are two factory directors at the department level, Director Zhou of the Automobile Factory and Director Liu of the Second Machinery Factory.

The main topic was still about going to Jilin Province for hunting. They said the workers were short of money, you were the son of a martyr and you couldn't bring shame to your father, you could ask for any conditions you wanted, anyway, they were trying to give you benefits and tempt you, and they were also kidnapping you for the sake of the workers' hard work.

Li Gang: "Stop talking. You just want me to go. I'll just agree. It's like I'm a sinner if I don't go."

Everyone was delighted and toasted.

Li Gang: "Don't drink yet, you have to make your preparations. Okay, there are some tools, tents and so on. Oh, and how many vehicles and people do you have prepared?"

Director Zhou, "We have borrowed two vehicles from FAW, and we have sent people to each factory to follow your arrangements."

Li Gang "No, we don't have enough vehicles or people. We need at least five vehicles, so each factory should have 20 people."

"We don't need that much," said Liu, the factory manager of the machine repair factory.

Li Gang said contemptuously, "I wonder if any of you have been to Jilin Province, or heard about how big Baishan is, can you tell me?"

Director Liu: "I know this. When we were fighting Da Piaoliang, I was responsible for transporting some supplies. I went to Baishan. I don't know how big it is, but it must be about 20 to 30 square kilometers. It's connected to Bangzi Kingdom. What does this have to do with hunting?"

Li Gang: "Of course it is related. Since you know that Baishan is very big, how many wild animals are there?"

Director Liu: "Is there any need to count? We often encountered animals at that time. There were a lot of them. Otherwise, how could we have them? We hit roe deer with sticks and scooped fish with ladles. Hey."

Director Liu seemed to have thought of something. "You wouldn't be..."

Li Gang nodded

Director Liu stood up with a bang.

Director Zhou: "Lao Liu, what's wrong? Why are you so excited?"

Director Liu: "Old Zhou, I am a director at the department level, but we are not even as good as a young man. I feel old."

Director Zhou: "What's wrong? You're not even as good as the young people. Don't keep me in suspense."

Director Liu: "Well, everyone knows that there are countless wild animals over there, otherwise there wouldn't be the saying of beating roe deer with a stick and scooping fish with a ladle.

Our vision is still too narrow. Xiao Li said that we are short of manpower and need to increase the number to 15. I think that 15 is not enough. We need to at least double it to 30 people.

Director Zhou seemed to have figured out the reason, and so did several other directors. They also stood up.

Director Liu: "Since we only bring back a few kilos of wild boars, it's just a drop in the bucket for a primeval forest like Baishan. Since we're only going once, why bother to go all out? That's why Xiao Li said there were not enough people."

Everyone was immediately awakened, and secretly delighted at the same time. If it was really a large-scale hunt, the quantity would not be calculated in tens of thousands of catties, but in hundreds of thousands or even millions of catties. If it was really that much, it would be enough for their own factory to produce meat for a year. How could they not be excited?

Director Zhou: "Since it is a large-scale hunt, sending 30 people will have a huge impact on the work of the factory. This is a problem. The vehicles and wagons are easy to deal with."

Li Gang: "Hey, they are just people, why do you have to recruit them from the factory? There are so many people without jobs now, can't you just send a few leaders from the factory, and recruit the rest as temporary workers, give them some subsidies, and arrange them to be apprentices in the factory when they come back? You can't even arrange for these 20 or 30 apprentices!"

Director Liu: "Our factory does need apprentices, and we are planning to recruit some. Thirty people is no problem. We want them."

Director Zhou: "The car factory is expanding this year, and we have recruited enough apprentices. If there were 10 or 8, it would be fine, but 30 is a bit too much."

Li Gang: "Hey, you can't change the rules. You only need ten people who work hard and perform well. The rest are not selected, and it has nothing to do with you."

The two factory managers of the tractor factory and the cotton mill slapped their thighs and said, "Yes, in this way, let alone thirty people, even fifty people can go. We just need to tell the street office, and ten of the fifty people with good performance can come back and join the factory, right?"

Several people also agreed, but then the problem came up again. Since there were so many people, we would have to increase the number of cars. Three or five cars were simply not enough. If we borrowed too many, FAW would not agree.

Everyone started discussing vehicles and warehouses.

Li Gang: "Don't go to such trouble. There must be a cannery or food factory somewhere. Find the nearest food factory or cannery and can the animals into canned meat. It's easy to store and transport, and there's no need to worry about spoiling. The animals can be brought down from the mountains at any time and processed in the factory at any time. The quantity will increase even more."

Several people slapped their thighs again. Why didn't they think of it? They just thought about turning it into a pig. Wouldn't it be the same to make it into canned food? Storage and transportation would be very convenient. They were all factory directors, but now they were not even as good as a young man.

At the same time, he also admired Li Gang very much. This guy has a smart brain. If this is the case, he only needs three or five trucks and a processing plant.

Director Liu: "I think Xiao Li's suggestion is very good. We should stop thinking about this and that. I think we should just cooperate and listen to Xiao Li as the commander-in-chief. What do you think?"

Several people agreed.
