The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 486: Which side are you on?
Usually, they will be notified a few days in advance. Li Ming's surprise is a normal reaction.

Director Niu was also very depressed, "It may not be possible. I heard that this matter is still under discussion."

"Just for a debate that may or may not be held, I put a bunch of people on duty in the factory on weekends. Then your branch will give my people some subsidies."

Being on duty may be unavoidable, but Li Ming can provide some benefits for his subordinates.

Director Niu spread his hands and said, "There is no funding for this project. Now you know why I am the one to talk about this. I am responsible for all the bad guys."

Li Ming said speechlessly: "If you are busy with this matter, you might as well go investigate cases, such as the theft case last Sunday."

Director Niu took two more sips of hot tea and drank it all in one gulp. "Speaking of which, there is currently no progress in the 7.24 series of thefts, and everyone has been busy for a week in vain."

Li Ming calmly continued to inquire, "I guess your work was not in vain, right? At least a number of other cases have been solved."

Niu Meng nodded and said: "That's right, there are no clues about the series of thefts, but many other clues have been collected, and hundreds of backlogged cases have been solved throughout the city."

"No more chatting. I have to visit other factories. Tomorrow's meeting is a bit unexpected. Only by visiting can I show my sincerity."

"When you need manpower and how many manpower you need, you have to give me an accurate answer! Then I can arrange people."

"If I call you before I get off work, it means I have a meeting tomorrow; if I don't call you, it means I won't have a meeting."

"Okay. Let's go slowly. I won't send you off."

"Thanks."

Ring ring ring ring ring!

Li Ming picked up the phone and said, "Hello! Security Department of the Steel Rolling Mill."

"Are you Deputy Section Chief Li? I'm Chen Guodong, Purchasing Section [-]."

"it's me."

"Deputy Director Li is very concerned about our material procurement work. After dinner, you come to my house and we will discuss how to further carry out the procurement work."

"Okay! I'll be at your house around 8 o'clock."

Li Ming hung up the phone and thought for a while. It wasn't the matter of Purchasing Section [-], but that Deputy Factory Director Li wanted to cause trouble.

Regarding the arrest of Tang Dejin yesterday, he called both Deputy Director Nie and Deputy Director Li before the morning meeting.

He reported to Deputy Director Nie as a favor.

There is a security section chief who takes the initiative to go to the third line. In the vacant position, Deputy Director Nie can operate well.

Instead, Deputy Director Li just told him to work with peace of mind and not to pay too much attention, as everything was under control.

Li Ming was very dissatisfied with this. Deputy Factory Director Li was not in a hurry to take action, so he turned to chat with Section Chief Chen Guodong to encourage him.

The opinions of his subordinates must also be respected. With the suggestions and urgings of a few more people, the pressure will shift to Deputy Factory Director Li.

His little move seemed to have an effect, and Deputy Director Li was about to take action.

Li Ming didn't receive a call from Director Niu until he got off work, which was gratifying.

Yesterday, the school working group was disbanded!
It would be stepped aside in a few days. The people who were still in charge of the work at this time thought of another way and set up a preparatory committee with similar functions.

In order to compete for a spot on the organizing committee, all parties were in a quarrel.

Most of them were occupied by people like Brother Luo Yun and Zhang Haiyang.

People like Yan Jiekuang didn't get anything, they only got to listen and drink, and they were very unconvinced both verbally and in their hearts!

People's hearts are not aligned, and it is reasonable for some meetings to fail.

This saves the security personnel of various nearby factories.You don't have to work overtime tomorrow, you can take your normal vacation.

evening,

Xinjiekou furniture store,

It will open tomorrow. After work, Li Ming brought sisters Lou Xiaoe over to make up for the missing items.

A common summer thunderstorm came just in time, blocking several people in the furniture store.

Gao Jiancheng pointed to the wet floor, "The door panels and raincloths are not ready yet. When these are done, the rain will not float into the glass shed like it is now."

It's a small issue, but few people have any opinions.

Lou Xiao'e asked: "Xiao Ming, will the old things we received be placed directly in the yard to soak in the rain?"

"Definitely not. When it rains, you can add a layer of raincloth."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "That's okay."

Li Ming stretched and said, "It seems that there is no problem. After the test of this heavy rain, I have passed the test."

The eldest sister, Lou Xiaowan, reminded: "We have to wait a while to see if there will be a lot of water on the street. My area usually seems fine. When it rains, the road will accumulate water and it will take a long time to recede."

Like a child, Lou Xiao'e stretched out her hand to play with the water dripping from the eaves, "I'm not in a hurry to go back anyway, we'll just wait here."

Uncle Fu smiled and suggested: "There is tea and snacks in the living room in the middle. Why don't you just sit there and wait?"

Lou Xiao'e laughed and said: "Uncle Fu, you go over and have tea. I'll just play here for a while."

Li Ming pampered her: "I'll stay with you."

The glass shed is connected to the north room, so people can walk directly to the living room without holding an umbrella.

Leaving Lou Xiaoe and two people under the glass canopy, Fu Bo and three others went back to the living room to drink tea and enjoy the rain.

Li Ming stood next to Lou Xiao'e, folding his hands on his chest, quietly looking at the heavy rain outside.

As a southerner, he has a special affection for rain. He used to feel that it rained too much in the south, but now he feels more intimate every time it rains in the capital.

Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile: "If it rains like this, those open-air parties will also be affected, right?"

Li Ming said casually: "The rain will stop after a while. It may be inconvenient to sit on the floor. It should be fine if you bring a stool or stand and watch."

"I didn't even hear you talk about the party in your factory."

"Tomorrow night, there will be a party in the auditorium of our factory. If you are in the city, I will definitely be at home with you. And in such a hot weather, I won't go and join in the fun."

He specifically asked for tickets to attend the party celebrating the founding of the army last year, and it was pretty good.

Lou Xiao'e asked: "You went to Chief Chen's house for a meeting in the evening. Is there anything urgent?"

"I guess Deputy Factory Director Li is going to take down Director Yang and Deputy Director Wang."

Lou Xiao'e stopped playing in the water, turned around and asked, "Is there any danger?"

"Don't worry, it's a trivial matter. If Deputy Director Li doesn't take action this time, I will."

Lou Xiao'e sighed: "Sometimes I think that it is enough for us to live a stable life."

Li Ming felt that it was nothing, "After entering Vanity Fair, since I got the benefits, I naturally have to bear the disadvantages."

"Nine times out of ten things in life are going to be unsatisfactory. We can only try our best to live each day well."

"Ah."

The next day, Sunday,

The Hongxing Furniture Store in Xinjiekou opened with a low profile.

Li Ming simply set off a bunch of firecrackers and that was it.

He took the Lou Xiao'e sisters and left quickly, drove to the furniture factory of Xiangyanghua Brigade, and also set off a bunch of firecrackers. There was no signboard here.

Gao Jiancheng's master Che Rensu looked at several pieces of sawn wood and said, "Deputy Section Chief Li, the wood you brought is all top quality wood!"

"There will be a lot of old wood in the future, and you have to use it together."

The car master is an experienced carpenter and knows his stuff. "It's okay to use inferior wood for parts like back panels." "It's fine. You and Master Liu will be mainly responsible for the production of customized furniture, standardization, and modules." Let the young people do the hard work of civilization."

The car master also doesn't understand what modularity and standardization are, but he can probably understand it if he has the actual objects that Gao Jiancheng made before.

"I'm afraid that there won't be so much work to do, and I won't be able to get the salary at ease by then."

To do work, you need to find such a real person. Li Ming smiled and said: "Jiangcheng is responsible for soliciting business. If there is not enough business, the responsibility belongs to him and has nothing to do with you."

The car master couldn't help but ask: "Jian Jiancheng has just entered the city and doesn't know anything. Is this task too heavy?"

"I taught him how to do it. He just had to follow the steps."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Unlike the countryside, the city still has spending power and there is no shortage of business.

Li Ming ordered Gao Jiancheng to set up a stall at the entrance of a large factory like the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and put up a sign saying that he had ready-made furniture for sale.

No furniture tickets required!
There will be so much business that I can’t even keep up.

Since the newly opened Hongxing Furniture Store has no planned source of lumber allocation, it naturally has no production tasks for furniture tickets.

If he wants his furniture store to sell by ticket, the planning department has to allocate wood to him.

He just made a time difference that there was no regulation not to do so, and worked diligently, frugally, and reformed the Four Olds. At this time, no one dared to come out and take care of this matter.

Li Ming straightened out the furniture factory before going to inspect the cannery with Lou Xiao'e.

The cannery's production workshop has already been built, and the buildings still being built are all future warehouses.

Gao Shushu, company commander of the Xiangyanghua Militia, said with a smile: "Every family received a can of the canned peaches Jiande and the others tried to make. They were quite delicious."

Li Ming tried it and said, "Everyone thought it was delicious, mainly because it had sugar water to drink. The peaches were too soft and rotten, so it wasn't really good."

Company Commander Gao felt that the requirements did not need to be so high, "Are you doing well?"

Lou Xiao'e explained: "The technicians from Jincheng Cannery helped us analyze it. It's not that our technology is not good, it's the peaches that are not good. The most suitable for canning is yellow peach."

"In some time we will switch to producing canned pears and things won't be like this."

Li Ming smiled and said, "That's what I said. Now, it's good to have something to eat."

Lou Xiao'e is very dedicated to her career, "Just do your best when you do it. We can overcome these technical problems."

"The biggest problem now is that there are not enough glass bottles. When the fruit comes on the market in large quantities, we will have no way to expand production."

"There is no planned allocation of materials, and it is still too little to just rely on ourselves to collect them."

Canning production is not difficult and can be made by any family workshop. What people are short of now is materials. Canning bottles and sugar can be difficult for most people.

The sugar is still produced by Little World, otherwise he wouldn't be able to build a cannery.

Li Ming thought for a moment, "If we ask Jiancheng and the others to increase the business of collecting cans and bottles, things will be too complicated. I will find someone else to collect bottles in the city."

He decided to give those in the scrap shop an extra business and help recycle cans and bottles.

No one recycles glass bottles because it is cheaper to produce new bottles than to recycle old ones.

Once analyzed, many things and phenomena are ultimately a matter of cost.

Li Ming asked Gao Jiande, who was standing next to him, "Jiande, have you learned how to drive a tractor?"

Driving a tractor casually is actually not difficult, and self-study is no problem. If you want to drive well, you still need to receive training.

Short-term training courses for tractor drivers are available in every county.

Gao Jiande replied: "I can drive it in the countryside, but there are too many people in the city so I dare not drive it."

"Then you follow the cars into the city a few more times. Then you will be responsible for transporting cans and bottles into the city and back to the factory."

The naughty Gao Jianye interjected: "Brother Xiao Ming, actually I can do it too."

Li Ming said with a smile: "You are still young now, learn more and watch more. In two years, you will be in charge again."

"Our factory will definitely grow bigger and bigger, just like a greenhouse. When the time comes, we will need more manpower, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

The profits from growing vegetables in greenhouses are really good. Company Commander Gao said with a smile: "Fortunately, the vegetable company has a truck to load the vegetables. Otherwise, we would be too busy delivering vegetables."

Li Ming began to draw the cake, "We are now producing canned fruits to accumulate experience, and we can also introduce the technology to produce canned vegetables in the future."

"The export volume of canned tomato paste and canned pickles is quite large. As we develop and expand, we will not be unable to produce canned pork, canned beef, and canned chicken."

Gao Jianye asked: "How many workers do our canneries need?"

"A few hundred people is a piece of cake, and a few thousand people is not difficult either."

Gao Jianye exclaimed: “We don’t even have this many people in our team!”

Li Ming said with a smile: "You have to learn more and watch more. When new employees come to work, they will hear that you are an old comrade who participated in the construction of the factory. If others want to learn from you, it would be too embarrassing if you don't understand."

Gao Jiande teased: "Old Comrade Gao Jianye, don't aim too high and do things down to earth."

Not to be outdone, Gao Jianye said, "Old Comrade Gao Jiande, you must be more courageous."

At present, the prospects look very good, and everyone present is in a good mood.

After a simple lunch, Lou Xiaoe stayed in the countryside for an afternoon break, while Li Ming returned to the city alone.

Last night, he participated in the conspiracy of Deputy Factory Director Li and his group. There are still many things in the city that need his deployment.

The small building of the security department of the steel rolling mill.

Li Ming's pickup truck had just parked when Luo Xun, who was on duty, ran out.

"Deputy Section Chief, do you have any urgent tasks?"

"There will be a cultural party held in the factory tonight. I'll come back to see how you are doing with your safety work."

"There are already established procedures, so it's not a big problem."

Li Ming asked specifically: "Do you pay special attention to fire prevention?"

Luo Xun replied: "We are focusing on this area, and the possible accident is a fire."

No one dares to cause trouble on the territory of the steel rolling mill. This is not only the consensus of the people in the steel rolling mill, but also the consensus of the gangsters.

Li Ming nodded and said, "You go back and rest first. I'll tell you something later. I'm going to make a surprise inspection of each post now."

He was looking for a reason to run around the whole factory, reconfirming the layout of the factory and preparing for tomorrow.

Not only Li Ming is carrying out the operation, Deputy Factory Director Li, Section Chief Chen Guodong and others have their own division of labor and are also busy.

The water beneath the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has begun to stir.

Chief of the Public Security Department Luo Xun just felt that there seemed to be more people working overtime in the factory today.

Deputy Section Chief Li made a surprise inspection. Luo Xun had no time to mind other people's affairs now, and was worried that other security personnel on duty would fall off the chain and he would also be criticized.

Luo Xun's worry was not without reason. Summer afternoons are the time when people are most likely to get sleepy.

When Li Ming returned to the security department, still smiling, Luo Xun felt relieved.

Office of the Deputy Chief,

Li Ming asked with a smile: "I'm going to take action against Director Yang and Deputy Director Wang tomorrow. Chief Luo, whose side are you on?"
