Siheyuan: Start with a big car

And he investigated.

Li Weidong, the workshop director of the motorcycle workshop, is indeed a resident of the courtyard.
And Li Weidong has a good relationship with the third uncle of the courtyard.
Of course, Wang Xiaole is still very cautious.
He stared into Yan Jiecheng's eyes and said, "Yan Jiecheng, you know me well. If you dare to deceive me, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Yan Jiecheng nodded heavily and said, "Wang Xiaole, please rest assured. I have nothing but a good mouth.

We are good brothers, that's why I tell you about this relationship.

And 500 yuan is not expensive, most of the money was given to Li Weidong

If it weren't for Li Weidong, we would have absolutely no way of getting those parts out."

Wang Xiaole had also heard of Li Weidong's reputation, and believed Yan Jiecheng's words even more.
Although 500 yuan is an astronomical figure in this day and age.

But for the son of a factory leader like Wang Xiaole, it was not a big deal.

He quickly saved up 500 yuan and gave the money to Yan Jiecheng.
"Yan Jiecheng, now that you have the money, I want to ask you, when can you help me get the motorcycle?"

After Yan Jiecheng received 500 yuan, he felt as excited as if he had drunk honey.

He then continued to fool Wang Xiaole: "Wang Xiaole, you also know that the motorcycle workshop is very strict in checking the parts. Even if it is Li Weidong, it is not that he can easily get the parts.

So this will take some time. The exact time is not certain, but it will take at least one month."

Wang Xiaole was not too anxious when he heard this.

After all, the production of motorcycles is so small that even many children from wealthy families cannot get one.

He was lucky to get the motorcycle after waiting for a month.
Wang Xiaole patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother. If you can help me with this matter, I will protect you in the future. Then you will definitely be able to live a good life with me."

Hearing Wang Xiaole's words, Yan Jiecheng's eyes turned and he said quickly: "Brother, I am the most loyal person. As long as you ask me to do something, I promise to do it properly for you. I see that you seem to be short of manpower now.

How about this, you let me follow you now? Don't worry, I have first-class ability to do things.
I don’t want a very good official position, you just need to arrange a sales job for me in the supply and marketing cooperative.”

You have to know that salesmen in supply and marketing cooperatives are very popular these days. Even high school graduates may not be able to get such a position. Yan Jiecheng mentioned salesmen as soon as he opened his mouth, and Wang Xiaole was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
If Wang Xiaole hadn't been counting on Yan Jiecheng to help him, he would have kicked Yan Jiecheng and sent him running away.
Wang Xiaole took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart, smiled and said: "Yan Jiecheng, don't be so anxious. Your main task now is to help me get the motorcycle ticket. Don't worry, as long as you get the motorcycle ticket, I will help you arrange a job immediately."

Wang Xiaole is not a fool, fortunately. He knows very well that people like Yan Jiecheng who often hang out on the streets are not trustworthy at all.

What they say is like fart
So Wang Xiaole has made up his mind that he will not help Yan Jiecheng until Yan Jiecheng helps him get things done.
Of course, Wang Xiaole also made up his mind that even if Yan Jiecheng helped him get the job done, he would not help Yan Jiecheng.

After all, he had already paid Yan Jiecheng, so it was not unfair to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng didn't expect Wang Xiaole to be so alert. He had no choice but to give up. He turned around and ran away.

Yan Jiecheng knew very well that there was no way he could get a motorcycle ticket from Li Weidong.

But Yan Jiecheng had already received the money, so he still had to make one last effort to try.

So Yan Jiecheng returned to the courtyard and went to Li Weidong's home.

It just so happened that Li Weidong was extremely busy with motorcycle production and had not returned for several days.

Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to give up because he didn't meet Li Weidong
The days passed by.

With the launch of the motorcycle, Li Weidong not only did not feel any more relaxed, but became even busier than before.

the reason is simple.

As soon as the motorcycle was launched on the market, it became popular all over Beijing.

And as time went on, the reputation of the motorcycle spread.

Now many supply and marketing departments in other places have contacted the steel mill, hoping to buy a batch of motorcycles.
However, the production capacity of the motorcycle workshop of the steel rolling mill is limited, and even the capital cannot meet the demand.

The most important thing is that Li Weidong has already contacted Gangcheng through his connections, and the motorcycles can be sold to Gangcheng in no time.

By then, according to the production of motorcycles, the demand will definitely exceed the supply.
Under such circumstances, Li Weidong naturally could not agree to the requests of those supply and marketing cooperatives from other places.
If it was just the general public who needed a motorcycle, that would be fine, and the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative would not take it too seriously, after all, it had nothing to do with them.

But these days, a motorcycle costs several thousand dollars.

Those who can afford motorcycles are either rich or noble, and they are very powerful.
Under the urging of those people, the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperatives had to cheer up and try their best to buy motorcycles.
Director Yang of the steel mill was blocked in his office by seven or eight commune department leaders early in the morning.

You know, if it were an ordinary person, Director Yang could have just chased those people away at this time.

but.

The leaders of the supply and marketing departments are well-known figures in various places.

Director Yang had to give some face, after all, the steel mill still needed to cooperate with local units.
“I am truly sorry, leaders, the production capacity of our motorcycle workshop in the steel rolling mill is very limited right now.

Just the supply and marketing departments in Beijing are unable to meet the demand and the gap has now reached more than 2,000 units.

Therefore, I cannot supply you with motorcycles for the time being. I hope you can understand.”

Although the leaders of the supply and marketing departments felt a little dissatisfied, they had no choice.

"Yes, yes, I heard that the motorcycles here are not available on the black market at all.

A senior leader I know asked many people for help, but he still couldn't buy a motorcycle. Let's not make it difficult for Lao Yang.

"

"Well, motorcycles are so popular. Let's go back and explain it to those guys. I think they should be able to understand."

"Yes, yes, the director of the steel mill has come out in person, what else can we say? Let's go back, everyone."

When the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperatives saw that they really could not get the motorcycles, they had no choice but to leave.

Of course, their trip was not in vain. They could take this opportunity to stroll around the capital.

But there was one person whose situation was different.

This person is the director of a supply and marketing cooperative in a small city in the north.

It stands to reason that for a supply and marketing cooperative of their size, even if motorcycles were available, it might not be their turn.

But Director Liu of the supply and marketing cooperative is very interested in motorcycles. The reason is very simple.

The son of one of his old leaders is getting married soon.

That guy has no other hobbies, he just likes to tinker with jeeps and other vehicles

This old leader is of a very high rank, and his son has played with quite a few jeeps over the years.

One time he went to Beijing to play and saw his friends discussing something called a motorcycle, and the boy immediately became interested in it.

When he found out that motorcycles were very expensive and difficult to buy, he became even more excited.

the reason is simple

This thing is only valuable and difficult to obtain, so no one else can get it.

If he could get it, it would be so glorious to ride a motorcycle on the street.

But this kid underestimated his own ability. Even though his father spent a lot of effort, he still couldn't get a motorcycle.
Director Liu was visiting his old leader's home.

After learning about this situation, he understood very well that this son had a very high status in the old leader's heart.

If he could get a motorcycle, then promotion would be a matter of course.
At that time, Director Liu felt that he was the leader of the supply and marketing department, had business dealings with the steel mill, and had acquaintances inside the steel mill.

If he were to show up, he would definitely be able to get it.

So I made a boast to my old leader at that time.

Promise to get his son a motorcycle before he gets married
The old leader seemed very excited at that time.

Tell Director Liu to do his best and never let him down.

So Director Liu came this time with the expectations of his old leader.

He knew very well that if he couldn't get the motorcycle, not only would he not be promoted, but he would also offend his old boss and might never be able to turn his life around.
Therefore, leaders from other supply and marketing cooperatives all went there to travel to various major tourist attractions.

Director Liu did not go. He bought some gifts and went to Deputy Director Wang's house under the moonlight.

That's right, Director Liu's relationship in the steel mill is that he is the executive deputy director of the steel mill, Director Wang

The relationship between the two of them is not ordinary.

When Deputy Director Wang was working in the supply and marketing department, he made a mistake and was almost expelled from the supply and marketing cooperative.

It was Director Liu who stepped forward and helped Deputy Director Wang solve the problem.

This allowed Deputy Director Wang to stay in the supply and marketing cooperative without leaving any stain.

This also laid the foundation for his promotion to deputy director of the steel rolling mill.
In Director Liu's opinion, Deputy Director Wang owed him a favor, and this favor was very big.

So as long as he comes forward, Deputy Director Wang will definitely get a motorcycle no matter what.
With this feeling in mind, Director Liu knocked on the door of Deputy Director Wang.

Deputy Director Wang's wife was at home and saw Director Liu's face suddenly darkened.

"Who are you?"

It was the first time that Director Liu met Deputy Director Wang’s wife, and he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Even though Deputy Director Wang earns so much money, he doesn't live as well as he does.

Take his wife for example. He had thrown away his original wife, a yellow-faced woman, a long time ago. Now he married a young girl of 18 or 19.

Director Liu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my last name is Liu. I am an old friend of Deputy Director Wang. This time I came to Beijing for business and came to see Deputy Director Wang. Is he at home?"

Deputy Director Wang's wife looked Director Liu up and down and wanted to chase him away.
Director Liu was a particularly smart man and quickly realized what this woman was trying to do.

He immediately said to Director Wang's wife, "I came from a small place, and I didn't bring anything good, just something worth 40 or 50 yuan."

Director Liu took out the things in his pocket.

See those bottles of good wine and cigarettes.

The young wife was so excited that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Hey, why didn't you take it out earlier? Come in quickly, our Lao Wang is waiting for you at home."

After the woman let Director Liu into the house, she shouted outside, "Old Wang, come quickly, your old friend is here!"

Deputy Director Wang has had a very difficult time recently.

Even though he is now the executive deputy director, other workshops in the steel rolling mill are almost in a state of shutdown.

The only important motorcycle workshop was again controlled by Li Weidong.

Therefore, his power as the executive deputy factory director was reduced a lot invisibly.
Deputy Director Wang works in the mornings these days.

I went home to sleep in the afternoon and just woke up a while ago
After hearing the woman's shout, he put on his shoes and walked out. Seeing that it was Director Liu, Deputy Director Wang immediately became excited: "It's Lao Liu, I wanted to look for you recently, but I didn't expect you to come to me first. This is really a coincidence, isn't it?"

Director Liu couldn't understand why Deputy Director Wang wanted to find him.

But he still has to rely on Deputy Director Wang, so he can't say much.

After Director Liu handed the bag to Deputy Director Wang's wife, he took Deputy Director Wang to find a place to sit down.

"Old Wang, tell me, did I save your life back then?"

Deputy Director Wang didn't understand what Director Liu was going to do, but he nodded anyway.
Director Liu continued: "Now I am in trouble, I hope to get your help, I don't think you will refuse."

Deputy Director Wang was shocked when he heard Director Liu's words.

It is true that Director Liu did help him, but Deputy Director Wang is a person who always repays kindness with kindness and revenges with revenge.

In his opinion, Director Liu helping him was stupid of him. What did his willingness to help have to do with him?
So Deputy Director Wang smiled awkwardly: "Lao Liu, if it's not my brother, I won't help you, but you may not know it.

Even though I am the executive deputy factory director, I am nothing in Beijing. What can I accomplish?"

Hearing this, Director Liu was a little unhappy.

He didn't expect that Deputy Director Wang would be such a heartless person.
Director Liu said slowly: "Deputy Director Wang, this matter happens to be related to your steel rolling mill. As long as you come forward, you will definitely be able to help me with it."

After hearing what Director Liu said, Deputy Director Wang was speechless.

After all, Director Liu brought such an expensive gift.

Deputy Director Wang is also a rule-abiding person. If he wants to accept gifts from others, he must do something for them.

Otherwise, who will give him gifts in the future?
Deputy Director Wang asked: "What's the matter, Lao Liu? Just tell me directly." (End of this chapter)
