Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 221 We Are Serious People!We are not thieves!
"Security Section? Why are the Security Section looking for me?"

Although he was full of doubts, Cao Zhiqiang quickly walked over to answer the phone.

"Hi, I'm Cao Zhiqiang, who is it?"

"Is it Manager Cao from Hongguang Publishing House? I am Section Chief Zeng from the Security Section."

"Oh, Section Chief Zeng, yes, I heard it, haha, what's the matter?"

"Manager Cao, can you come to the security department immediately?"

"What's wrong? What did I do?"

"Don't get me wrong, the situation is like this. We just caught a group of thieves, but they said that they are not thieves, and they went there to collect goods with your permission. Well, the details are very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, you Come on, okay?"

"Oh, I see, then you wait there a moment, I'll go right away."

After hanging up the phone, Niu Shufen next to her immediately asked, "What's the matter, why did the people from the security department look for you?"

"I didn't say anything on the phone, but I just said I'll go there." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "Well, Sister Niu, I'll go and check on the situation. You can watch the situation here, and call the security department if you have anything to do."

"Okay, you can go." Big Sister Niu nodded, "I'm here, so don't worry."

Speaking of this, Sister Niu said worriedly: "Why don't you call Director Li first to ask about the situation?"

"No need." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "Everyone knows my relationship with Director Li, and I don't have much trouble with the security department.

Since he called me on purpose and was so polite, it shouldn't be targeting me.

It's better to go and see the situation first, don't ask the leader if you have nothing to do, that's not good.

All right, that's it, I'll go first. "

"Wait." Sister Niu stopped Cao Zhiqiang again, "Manager, are you just walking like this?"

"Ah, what else?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback.

"Really." Sister Niu shook her head, "Although our publishing house is not far from the factory, it's still a long walk. Wait a minute."

Speaking of which, Ms. Niu lowered her head and took out a key from the drawer: "Well, manager, here is my bicycle key. You can ride my car, ride fast."

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and took the key with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Niu."

"Thank you." Big Sister Niu smiled and shook her head, "It's you, you don't ride a bike when you go back to work, I really don't know what you think."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed again and said nothing.

Did you tell her that every time I come to work, I take three rounds?Do you ride on three wheels when you walk?

In fact, if Sister Niu hadn't been so enthusiastic about giving the keys to the bicycle, Cao Zhiqiang originally planned to take a tricycle to go there.

Don't look at the remoteness here, but there are also tricycles, and there are many tricycles on the roadside and so on.

It can be said that in the old Beiping city in the early 80s, all kinds of tricycles, including manpower and motorized, were really awesome.

It's just that within the second ring road, there are mostly manpower tricycles, while outside the second ring road, there are more motorized three-wheelers, or fuel-assisted three-wheelers.

Outside the second ring road, there are not only motorized three-wheelers running on the street, but also various horse-drawn carts, mule carts, and donkey carts. In fact, the traffic is quite convenient.

But now that you have a bicycle, you can no longer take a taxi.

And taking a car is really not free enough.

In this way, it should be time to buy a motorcycle.

It is more convenient to have a motor vehicle to run in the urban area.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang rode on Sister Niu's bicycle, walked slowly to the Hongguang Machinery Factory next door, and went straight to the security department.

As soon as he arrived at the security department, he was startled immediately, because he saw many security personnel with live ammunition, forming a circle, surrounded by a group of outsiders who were obviously not workers.

There seemed to be more than 20 of those outsiders, with an average age of about 30 years old. They were all men, no women, and they were dressed in trendy clothes.

Most of them are young men with afro hair wearing classic flared trousers, and a small part are young men with oily heads wearing suits and ties with a briefcase under their arms.

Anyway, looking at this group of people, you can tell that they are social youths and have absolutely nothing to do with the working class.

This group of social youths just squatted or stood obediently in place, some gathered together to smoke, some gathered together to chat, and most of them looked very calm.

After glancing at the group of people again, Cao Zhiqiang went into the office of the Security Section and found Section Chief Zeng.

When Section Chief Zeng saw Cao Zhiqiang coming, he immediately got up and greeted him with a smile.

There is no way, as the chief of the security department, he must know who is the leader of the factory.

What's more, the security department has also tasted a lot of sweetness from Cao Zhiqiang's recent affairs, so of course he likes to get close to Cao Zhiqiang.

After Section Chief Zeng served tea to both parties and exchanged pleasantries with each other, he called the three of them and started talking about business.

Among these three people, one is the storekeeper of the printing house, that is, the one who looks after the warehouse.

The other is a middle-aged man who looks after the gate.

The clothes of these two people are similar, and they both belong to the employees of Hongguang Machinery Factory.

The last one was different. He was a young man in his early 30s, wearing a suit and tie, named Zhang Qianjin.

After the three of them came in, they started talking to each other.

It was Section Chief Zeng who slapped the table to frighten the three of them, and then began to roll their names and let them speak one by one.

After the three of them finished speaking in turn, Cao Zhiqiang borrowed the phone number from the security department to make a call to Shen Zhenhua, who was still sitting in Wangfujing Bookstore, and finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that all this was a misunderstanding.

The thing is like this, yesterday, Cao Zhiqiang issued a purchase restriction order and a wholesale order.

The meaning of the purchase restriction order is that everyone who buys the book "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" at Xinhua Bookstore in the future can only buy one book per day, and can't buy more.

Obviously, this is to limit the tactics of second-hand traffickers.

It's just that this kind of restriction is to restrict medium and large second-tier dealers with a big appetite, and it has limited effect on ordinary uncles and aunts who just want to make some cheap money.

But for those second-hand traffickers, the wholesale order gave them a clear way.

The so-called wholesale order means that if someone wants to buy books in large quantities, they have to go to the publishing house to buy them, and the minimum purchase quantity is [-] copies, and those below [-] copies should not go.

The wholesale price is [-] yuan a copy, which is much more cost-effective than buying from Xinhua Bookstore.

It's just that Cao Zhiqiang only gave an order at the beginning, and when the executor, Shen Zhenhua, went to talk, he changed the address of the wholesale point to the printing office of Hongguang Machinery Factory instead of the office building of Hongguang Publishing House.

This is also normal, after all, the office building is just a place to work, and there are not many books in it.

The printing house itself has a warehouse, and the stocks of "Jiang Hu Xing" printed there are basically stored in the printing house's warehouse.

It's normal for those wholesalers to go directly to the warehouse to pull goods.

What's more, this kind of thing, after all, is easy to do or not to say.

After all, strictly speaking, publishing houses engage in wholesale sales to ordinary people, which is actually a disguised form of encouraging others to resell books.

As we all know, in this era, it is illegal for private individuals to resell public goods, including books.

In other words, if you buy books from Xinhua Bookstore, you are not breaking the law.

But if you buy a book and sell it to someone else at a higher price to make the difference, it is against the law.

In theory, publishing houses can also sell books directly to individuals, and there is no law prohibiting this.

But you, a publishing house, do not sell books to the public Xinhua Bookstore, but sell them to ordinary individuals at reduced prices in large quantities...

What is this for, anyone with a discerning eye knows!

Although Cao Zhiqiang said that he has a strong background and is not afraid of this, but as the specific executor, that is, Shen Zhenhua, he didn't want to make it too obvious.

After all, Shen Zhenhua came from a different background. He has been doing odd jobs in the streets and alleys of the capital since he was a child, and he has never seen anything.

So, when he issued the wholesale order, he changed his rhetoric, telling him that if he wanted to buy books in large quantities, he should have a private interview with him.

In fact, what Shen Zhenhua meant was that if something happened, he could also take the blame.

In this case, neither Cao Zhiqiang nor the publishing house has any responsibility, and everything is Shen Zhenhua's personal work.

However, based on Cao Zhiqiang's character, if Shen Zhenhua really had an accident because of him, Cao Zhiqiang, he would not let him die. Even if there was no other way in the end, and Shen Zhenhua would go to jail, he would definitely take good care of Shen Zhenhua's family.

Regardless of his intentions, when Shen Zhenhua said it to the outside world, he really said so. He didn't explicitly say that he went to the publishing house to buy books, but only talked to him in private.

As a result, after Cao Zhiqiang finished distributing the book that day and went back to Jin Xiuying's place to rest, Shen Zhenhua was surrounded by a group of people, and then he collectively acted as the host and invited Shen Zhenhua to a banquet.

At the banquet, Shen Zhenhua explained the situation.

What I said was not to ask them to go to the publishing house to buy books, but to go to the printing house to buy a batch of "defective products".

During this period, because all books were printed with lead type, it was inevitable that there would be defective products when printing books.

Generally speaking, the more advanced the equipment, the fewer defective products, and most of the defective products will be disposed of as garbage.

If it is said that these people are allowed to deal with defective products, the problem will be much smaller.

In this way, if these people are caught as speculators, whether it is a printing house or a publishing house, they can easily get rid of their ties.

Otherwise, who knows what way.

For those Erdao dealers who want to buy books in large quantities, you have to say directly that the publishing house asked them to buy books directly. They may not believe it, and even think it is phishing law enforcement.

But if you have a "high-level figure" inside and say that you deal with defective products at a low price, then they will believe it.

After all, Shuoshu is more believable in this era.

So, after everyone agreed on a strategy, they raised funds together, first handed half of the money to Shen Zhenhua, then took the note from Shen Zhenhua, and sent a group of people to the printing office early the next morning to solicit goods.

As for the printing office, because Cao Zhiqiang had called in advance, and Shen Zhenhua, the secretary of the general manager, had written a note, they were all well aware of it, so they gave as much as they wanted to these outsiders who came to solicit goods, and let them go. Give.

Of course, the unloading and loading are all done by these people themselves, and the warehouse managers of the printing house don't care, they just check the number.

Everything went well at first, but by accident, something happened just as he was leaving the gate.

It turned out that the printing office and the warehouse of the printing office are both inside the factory area of ​​Hongguang Machinery Factory. If you want to enter the warehouse of the printing office to pick up goods, you have to enter the factory gate first.

Because there are many valuables in the factory, the gatekeepers of the factory are all on 24-hour shifts.

The problem was that the people who were watching the gate had already greeted them, so they let the trucks of the second-hand traffickers in easily.

But when those second-hand dealers were loading goods in the warehouse of the printing house, the gatekeepers changed.

The janitor who was replaced didn't know that the newcomer didn't know these things, so he didn't explain much.

Ever since, when those second-hand traffickers had pulled enough goods and drove away, they were stopped by the newcomers who were guarding the gate.

No matter what those second-hand traffickers said, the new gatekeeper didn't believe it, so he blew his whistle and called the security department.

The staff of the security department didn't know anything, and they really thought it was a group of thieves, so they took them to the security department for custody.

The matter came to Section Chief Zeng. Section Chief Zeng saw that there was a note signed by Shen Zhenhua in the other party's hand, and the warehouse manager of the printing office he found also said that Cao Zhiqiang had already said hello before, so he called Hongguang Publishing House. , I want to ask Cao Zhiqiang to confirm the situation.

"Section Chief Zeng, they are not thieves." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "This is actually a misunderstanding!"

"Yeah yeah."

The representative of the Erdao trafficker, that is, the person named Zhang Qianjin, immediately said loudly with dissatisfaction:

"How many times have I said, we are decent people! We are not thieves!

We paid the money and got permission to buy the goods. How can we be thieves?
How can a thief come here in broad daylight, with so many people, swaggering and driving?
You guys, what you're doing is deceiving people too much! "
