Siheyuan: Since 51

Dong Xiuqi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his face, "Huaide, what else do you want?"

Li Huaide picked up a document from the table and handed it to Dong Xiuqi.

"Director, I heard some of your ideas when I reported to you before. I have digested, studied, and thought about them, and compiled them into a written document. Please take a look at it and give it a review."

The six people present, except Li Huaide, all looked at the thin document.

Not to mention other people were curious, even Dong Xiuqi was confused.

He pretended to be profound too many times, and he had no idea which of his random words gave Li Huaide the inspiration.

After getting the document, Dong Xiuqi lowered his head and read through it. The more he read, the more interesting he found it.

A plan for factory expansion, the suggestions in it are very pertinent, which can take into account long-term planning while secretly providing benefits to workers.

Dong Xiuqi didn't remember having communicated with Li Huaide in private. He raised his head and looked at Li Huaide with eyes full of approval. What a talent!

"Huide, I was just saying it casually, but you are really far-sighted!"

After praising him, Dong Xiuqi looked around at everyone and said with a smile, "Come on, everyone, take turns to look around. Let's also discuss the higher-ups' request for us to expand our steel mill!"

As he said this, he handed the document to Lou Bancheng next to him.

The content is clear and comprehensive.

After watching it, everyone had complicated and surprised expressions.

They are all smart people. Who can’t figure out the twists and turns?

"Director, I think this plan takes both the overall situation and the details into consideration... I agree with it."

"The construction of the factory and the training of personnel are carried out simultaneously, which greatly reduces the time it takes for the new workshop to get on track... I agree with this as well."

"The recommendation by worker comrades can not only increase cohesion, but also provide care for the workers... I also agree!"

……

The proposal to gain both fame and fortune was naturally passed unanimously.

"Huide, Zhenhua is not here, so the specific implementation is left to you."

With Dong Xiuqi's last words, the meeting ended.

At noon, the loudspeaker of the steel mill sounded.

"Hey Hey hey.

Comrades, here is the latest notice.

Proposed by Director Dong Xiuqi, detailed by Director Li Huaide, and highly approved by the Party Committee of the factory, the expansion of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is about to begin...

Regarding recruitment, there are quotas for all middle and senior workers in our factory. Specific requirements will be issued step by step later...

I hope all comrades can strictly follow the requirements for recommendation and not let down the trust of the organization and factory leaders...

Contribute to the steel mill and even to national construction."

This happened three times in a row, like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.

The entire steel mill was filled with discussions.

Especially in the cafeteria, there are the most people and the discussions are the loudest.

"That's great. I'm an intermediate fitter and I have a quota..."

"Everyone is a mid-level worker. I also have a quota. I'm just worried that my son is too old to have a job..."

……

The purchasing team ran around to buy the pork, and He Daqing cooked the broth.

The workers were still chewing slowly, savoring the food, but suddenly it didn't smell so good anymore.

Everyone drank it up with their heads tilted back, then hurried back to get more details.

But Lin Zhiyuan left the steel rolling mill and went straight to Ma Ji Grain Store.

There was no other choice but to use meat and eggs, and Lin Zhiyuan couldn't come up with anything else, so he thought of tofu.

It’s high in protein, tastes good, and can provide nutrition to workers. It can barely be considered a substitute!

In later lives, Lin Zhiyuan liked to eat pot-sticked tofu, which was both nutritious and delicious.

Thinking about the presence of the great chef He Daqing, not to mention pot-sticked tofu, even changing the dishes shouldn't be a problem.

As a grain merchant of a certain scale in the capital, Ma Ji Grain Store only does wholesale business, and its purchases are basically from various small grain stores and small workshops.

North of Ditan Park, in an alley.

Lin Zhiyuan came to Ma Ji Grain Store, which had a store in front and a warehouse in the back.

As soon as I walked in, a waiter came up to me and said, "Hello, comrade, what can I do for you?"

“Soybeans.”

"Please come this way!" The waiter gestured, "Comrade, we at Ma's Grain Store don't sell in small quantities. If the amount is too small..."

Coming to the display box, Lin Zhiyuan reached out and grabbed a handful, took a closer look, and saw that it was in good condition. He immediately smiled and said, "I need too many, so go find someone who can make the decision!"

The clerk hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Lin Zhiyuan was calm and confident, he immediately responded, "Okay, I'll go call our shopkeeper."

After a while, a fat middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit came out from the back hall.

As soon as he saw Lin Zhiyuan, he smiled and said, "Hello, comrade, I am Ma Nianzu. Please come this way. Let's talk in the back hall."

Back hall.

Pouring a cup of tea for Lin Zhiyuan, Ma Nianzu asked with a smile: "What's your name, comrade? Where do you work?"

Lin Zhiyuan handed over the letter of introduction and said modestly: "It's not a high position, but I am the purchasing manager of Red Star Steel Mill, Lin Zhiyuan."

After the greetings, Ma Nianzu got straight to the point.

"Purchasing Manager Lin, how much soybeans does your factory need?"

Lin Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "The demand is huge. I wonder how many are there in your store?"

Hearing this, Ma Nianzu was stunned. He felt that Lin Zhiyuan looked down on him, so he said proudly, "Hahaha, please rest assured, Purchasing Lin. To be frank, I have as much as your factory needs!"

Blow it!

How many more do you need?

I want 100 million tons, do you have it?

Lin Zhiyuan secretly complained, but didn't expose him, "Okay, Shopkeeper Ma, give me five tons first!"

Ma Nianzu curled his lips and said, "That's all, just five tons, it can barely be considered a big order!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyuan said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will need it every week in the future. The specific quantity needs to be discussed between me and the leader, but it will definitely not be too little."

Why does a steel mill need so many soybeans?

Ma Nianzu looked at Lin Zhiyuan suspiciously, and after a long silence, he asked, "Purchasing Lin, may I ask, can you make the decision?"

"Don't worry, the price is right, I'll come and sign the agreement tomorrow!"

Ma Nianzu nodded. "For soybeans, one pound is 1100 yuan. Lin's purchase demand is large, so we round it up to 1100 yuan per pound. Five tons is 10 million yuan. Is this price okay?"

Lin Zhiyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

On the market, a pound of soybeans is only twelve hundred yuan. Excluding the profit of the grain store, this price is not very favorable!

"Shopkeeper Ma, would you like to reconsider this?"

Ma Nianzu poured another half cup of tea for Lin Zhiyuan and said meaningfully, "Purchaser Lin, you can only taste this tea after you drink it yourself."

Lin Zhiyuan thought about it and understood.

Kickbacks?

There is space, no need.

Smiling and shaking his head, Lin Zhiyuan pushed the teacup and declined: "Shopkeeper Ma, I don't want to drink the tea. Please think about it again and give me a suitable price!"

Ma Nianzu looked at Lin Zhiyuan carefully.

Lin Zhiyuan looked calm.

After a long while, Ma Nianzu said, "Since Lin Caigou doesn't drink tea, then it's nine hundred and one kilogram."

After that, he smiled and said, "Purchasing Manager Lin, I have a better idea."
