The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 481 Irregular affiliation, collective scrap shop branch
When I turned my head, I didn't expect that the plain-looking lame man was the famous Uncle Liu in the market.

He had already heard about Uncle Liu, and swallowed back the words when they came to his lips.

Look at the public manager with pleading eyes.

"Manager, this is actually a misunderstanding. These members want to ask for water. We are a restaurant, not a teahouse!"

The official manager of the restaurant looked away and shook his head helplessly.

This guy is his distant relative. He was originally a salesperson at the No. 3 Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Yangcheng. He was fired from the supply and marketing cooperative because his hands and feet were unclean.

Because of his relatives' reputation, the public manager arranged for him to work as a temporary worker in the restaurant.

Although his position has been reduced a lot, the uncle's temper has not changed at all.

He once reminded Fan Fentou several times not to confront customers, but Fan Fentou didn't even listen.

Now it's time to get into trouble.

"Brother Liu, this is a matter for your market. It's not easy for me as an outsider to get involved, so you can figure it out."

He turned to look at Li Aiguo: "Comrade Patriot, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

If he turned away and refused to kneel, Li Aiguo had no intention of killing them all.

There was once a prominent person nearby who wanted to open a few fixed stalls in the market, but Uncle Liu refused.

This is the first time the public manager has heard this statement.

Those people wanted to talk to Uncle Liu, but what was waiting for them was Uncle Liu, who was barefoot, wearing only a pair of underpants, and holding a kitchen knife.

"Uncle leader, just be kind and spare me this time. Just treat me like a fart and let me go. I know I was wrong."

Liu Deli turned to look at Li Aiguo, and seeing Li Aiguo nodding in agreement, he continued: "I won't talk about the big principles of serving the people.

Liu Deli continued: "So, without these members, you can't even pay your monthly salary. You just provide a few bowls of boiled water and you won't do it. Do you really care about the masses?"

"In the market, our place is remote and not as good as in the city. Most of the customers are city dwellers buying goods. Poor commune members don't have food stamps and can't afford to eat."

"puff"

He turned his head and knelt down in front of Liu Deli, crying hard with runny noses.

"Uncle Liu, this matter is indeed Xiao Lu's fault. Don't worry, I will definitely criticize him severely."

Although I couldn't understand it, I felt it made sense.

"I"

Liu Deli stood up holding the table, walked to the public manager, and said with a cold face: "Manager Hu, let me ask you, where do most of the guests in this restaurant come from?"

From then on, no one in the neighborhood had any idea of ​​​​marketing.

If you want to get thirty yuan a month as labor remuneration, you must show your due strength.

He secretly winked at Xian Fen.

Although you are formal employees, your wages will be paid to you on time every month.

I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child who is waiting to be fed. If I lose my job, how will they live in the future? "

But if there are no customers, the restaurant has no way to make a profit. How will your superiors pay your wages? "

Li Aiguo suddenly looked at Liu Deli with admiration. There are too few people in this era who have this kind of understanding.

"If it weren't for those poor commune members, do you think people from the city would come here?"

"I"

Liu Deli looked up at Li Aiguo and saw that Li Aiguo didn't let go. He knew it was time for him to show off.

Only then did the public manager and Pian Fentou realize that the burly foreigner was the real owner.

Liu Deli has rich life experience, so naturally he cannot believe the lies about splitting heads.

"Lao Hu, I see, this temporary worker in your restaurant is bullying the people and has made a serious ideological mistake.

Shiqiao is a suburban area in this era. There are very few people on weekdays, and even fewer people have money to eat out.

It's just not appropriate not to help him, they are relatives after all.

It’s just that if a person can be shameless towards himself, then he can also be shameless towards others.

After listening to Li Aiguo's words, Uncle Liu's eyes turned cold as he turned his head.

The public manager changed his voice and said: "However, he also acted in accordance with the rules and regulations. We are a restaurant, not a tea shop. Now he is beaten by your comrade. I think this matter will be forgotten."

The public manager opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.

Although the public manager didn't understand what his salary had to do with the members, he knew very well that Liu Deli would not take things lightly.

They were shocked.

"You are only about 20 years old this year, and your mother is 80 years old?"

"Uncle Liu, I know I was wrong, please spare me this time.

Although Uncle Liu's position is not high, he has a very stubborn temper and would not look down upon his boss.

And now Uncle Liu is actually respectful to this person. What is this person's identity?
He turned his head and rolled his eyes, knelt down and moved to Li Aiguo, and kowtowed several times in succession.

I will report this matter to the management committee and conduct an inventory of your restaurant. "

As soon as these words came out.

He parted his head and his legs went weak. He couldn't even kneel anymore and collapsed on the ground.

He looked at the public manager with pleading eyes, hoping that this relative would give him another helping hand.

The public manager was also so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

As the boss of a restaurant, no one would believe how clean his butt is.

"Lu Le, I am informing you now that you have been fired from the restaurant because you made a serious mistake."

The public manager was afraid of getting into trouble, so he just wanted to cut off the relationship.

He called a few waiters and took the partial head out directly.

"Xiao Lu, there's nothing I can do about it. Who made you offend Uncle Liu's noble people? If you want to blame me, I blame you for being blind."

After saying a few words, the official manager turned around and returned to the restaurant.

Under the bright sunshine, Lu Le was thrown outside and felt as if he had stepped into the ice and snow.

He was supposed to be able to become a full-time employee in another month and become a regular employee again, but now it's all over.

Aren't you just picking up a few poor commune members? Do you need to treat me like this?

Damn Li Aiguo, I’m not done with you.

Lu Le gritted his teeth, and the veins on his neck were twitching.

After the public manager returned to the restaurant, he warmly entertained Li Aiguo and his party, and asked the waiter to open water for the members.

"Thank you. Good man, you are a good man." After experiencing what happened just now, Chen Dabao walked up to Li Aiguo and bowed repeatedly.

Li Aiguo supported him and said: "Comrade members, I am a worker and you are a farmer. We workers and farmers are one family. You are too polite."

"I see you haven't had breakfast yet. Why don't you just eat dry biscuits? I've invited you to have breakfast today!"

Chen Dabao was startled, took a step back, and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, we just have boiling water and pancakes. Rural people don't care about good food and drink. We have so many people, we can't let you spend money."

"Looking at what you said, we were still a family just now!" Li Aiguo winked at Liu Deli.

Before Chen Dabao could react, Liu Deli walked out of the restaurant and invited the seven or eight members in.

He also asked the public manager to arrange breakfast for them.

The public manager was thinking about how to make up for the mistake just now. Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, we will treat our fellow members well today."

Militia captain Chen Erbao looked at Chen Dabao and said, "Brother, what should we do now?"

Chen Dabao turned to look at the commune members who couldn't help but swallow their saliva, smiled bitterly, and cupped his hands towards Li Aiguo.

"Brother, worker, we took advantage of you this time, but it's not in vain. We have thousands of kilograms of bananas on the truck, and we will deliver them to your home later."

When Chen Erbao heard this, he quit and said with a glare: "Brother, those bananas are to be exchanged for food and money. Your three children are still waiting to go to school. If the party secretary knows about it, he will definitely not be able to spare you."

"Stop talking, people treat us sincerely, and we can't be stingy. If uncle criticizes me, I will bear it." Chen Dabao waved his hand.

Li Aiguo did not expect that Chen Dabao would be so generous.

He laughed twice and pulled Chen Dabao to the dining table.

At this time, the waiter had already brought the rice rolls and fried dumplings.

It had been five days since Chen Dabao came out of the commune. He lived by chewing dry pancakes every day. He smelled the tempting fragrance and couldn't bear it anymore.

He gripped the chopsticks tightly, but looked up at Li Aiguo.

"You eat first, we'll talk later."

Li Aiguo lit a cigarette and watched Chen Dabao wolf down a bowl of rice noodles and a stack of fried dumplings.

"Zhou Ke, ask the restaurant to bring another one to the fellow members."

After finishing the second bowl of rice noodles, Chen Dabao finally stopped being hungry.

Putting down his chopsticks, he said sheepishly: "Brother worker, I'm sorry for making you laugh."

"Food is the most important thing for the people, so there is nothing shameful about eating."

Li Aiguo handed him a cigarette. After helping him light it, he lit one himself and asked with a smile: "Which commune are you from? It seems that you have planted a lot of bananas. What's going on?"

"We are all from Dashi Commune. I am Chen Dabao, the production team leader. It's hard to explain how to grow bananas."

The smoke covered Chen Dabao's sad face, and he told about the large-scale planting of early bananas in Dashi Commune.

Zhou Ke glared and said: "These people are too messy. The production team should decide what food crops to plant."

"Zhou Ke!"

Li Aiguo stopped him.

Li Aiguo has seen many incidents like what happened in Dashi Commune in later generations.

Li Aiguo couldn't change, and he didn't want to change.

"So, your commune has a lot of bananas now?"

"Many, too many. You also know that bananas have a short shelf life. If they cannot be sold, they will rot in the ground. Some communes even feed bananas to pigs."

Seeing that Li Aiguo was interested in bananas, Chen Dabao explained what he knew in detail. Li Aiguo looked up at Liu Deli: "Brother Liu, what do you think?"

"I know all these members of the sub-community. They are all honest people and never fool people with rotten bananas." Liu Deli spoke highly of Chen Dabao and others.

"Then let's purchase our first batch of bananas from Dashi Commune."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Dabao didn't pay attention at first, but soon became excited.

"You want to purchase bananas?" Chen Dabao looked in disbelief.

Liu Deli pointed at Li Aiguo and introduced: "This is Comrade Li from the capital. This time, I was entrusted by my unit to purchase a batch of bananas. If the bananas from your commune are qualified, they can be shipped out in a few days."

"Too qualified!"

Chen Dabao stood up excitedly, took Li Aiguo's arm and started to walk out, "Brother worker Li, I will take you back to the commune now."

The few members who were eating heard the commotion and came over.

"Are they really here to buy bananas? Great, this time we will make great contributions to the commune."

Chen Erbao was originally depressed about paying for bananas, but when he heard the news, he felt sad.

He graduated from junior high school, was more educated than Chen Dabao, and was active in work. He was in the front row of the commune every year.

However, the village chose Chen Dabao as the production team leader.

He was still a little unconvinced at first, but now he understands that the difference between him and Chen Dabao lies in their vision.

After confirming that Li Aiguo and others were indeed interested in buying bananas, Chen Dabao asked Chen Erbao to take people to stay at the market in order to avoid long nights and dreams, and personally took Li Aiguo and others to Dashi Commune.

"Wait a minute. I have to wait for someone. He will arrive tomorrow." Li Aiguo raised his wrist and looked at the time.

Freight trains transporting coal, if they do not make way for passenger trains, are not much slower than the green trains of later generations.

After estimating the time, Li Aiguo took breakfast, made an appointment with Chen Dabao, and then led by Liu Deli to the Shiqiao Management Committee.

Walking to the door of the management committee, Li Aiguo bought three more cartons of coconut cigarettes from the supply and marketing cooperative.

He will give one to Captain Chen and Liu Deli respectively.

"When doing things in the future, we can't let you pay out of your own pockets."

After hearing this, the two of them accepted it.

Liu Deli was familiar with the management committee and led a few people into the compound.

Li Aiguo felt a little strange when he saw the list of many units posted on the bulletin board below the management committee.

"Old Liu, why is the Shiqiao branch of Suzhou Heating Water Plant happening?"

"That's right. This factory is actually the after-sales service of Suzhou Heating Water Factory. It is responsible for the after-sales service of thermos bottles in the entire Yangcheng area. The specific method is to save unqualified thermos bottles and transport large quantities back to the factory."

Liu Deli saw that Li Aiguo was interested in this matter and continued to explain: "They registered the ingredient factory with the management committee for the convenience of operation. After all, many temporary workers are used here. When paying wages, follow the formal channels, which is not convenient for the finance department. Reimburse accounts.

Also, if there are too many defective thermos bottles, it will also affect the assessment of the thermos bottle factory. "

"you know"

After receiving Liu Deli's meaningful look, Li Aiguo understood immediately.

After walking around the bulletin board, Li Aiguo found the names of four or five branch factories. It seems that this practice is very common in the local area.

If the South Tongluo Lane scrap shop can register a purchase point here, it will be easier to cover up in the future.

Li Aiguo touched his chin and thought for a while, then pulled Liu Deli aside and whispered a few words.

After the two discussed it, they went straight to the office of the director of the management committee.

Director Gui of the Management Committee seemed a little surprised to see Liu Deli.

With a smile on his face, while letting Li Aiguo and others inside, he teased Liu Deli: "Old Liu, since you arrived at the management committee, I have invited you seven or eight times. You haven't come yet, why are you free today."

Liu Deli said with a smile: "Director Gui, I, Old Liu, seek promotion first and secondly to get rich. If I get too close to you, I'm afraid some people will have ideas."

Li Aiguo once again looked at Liu Deli with admiration.

His transcendent status in the market is not entirely due to recklessness.

"You, you, sometimes I really don't understand you." Director Gui couldn't help Liu Deli.

I finally have someone who is capable of doing things, but he only wants to be a temporary worker and always likes to wander around the market every day. What is this?

When Director Gui saw Li Aiguo and the others, he winked and asked, "Who are these?"

"My friends from the capital wanted to rent a few warehouses. I was afraid they wouldn't understand, so I came with them."

As Liu Deli spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and placed it on the table.

As the director of the management committee, Director Gui had never seen anything before, but he was shocked by this cigarette.

He has been Liu Deli's senior superior for so many years, but he has never smoked a cigarette from Liu Deli.

"Old Liu, we don't take turns in this. You should put it away quickly. Isn't it just renting a warehouse? We have many empty warehouses. However, renting a warehouse requires qualifications."

Director Gui did not raise his eyes to look at Liu Deli, but stared at Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo understood what he meant, stood up and said: "We are from the collective scrap shop in Tongluo Lane, South of Beijing. We are a small collective enterprise. The relevant procedures are all available and can be delivered tomorrow. The purpose of renting the warehouse this time is to purchase some sundries. ”

Director Gui's expression finally softened. The other party was a collective enterprise and had the qualifications to serve.

Li Aiguo then said: "Director Gui, it's just a cigarette. It's not a bribe for you. It's just a little bit of Lao Liu's kindness. Just accept it!"

Director Gui opened the drawer and put the cigarettes into the drawer.

"Since Comrade Jingcheng said so, it will be bad if I don't accept it. Okay, I will accept it!"

Li Aiguo said: "Our collective scrap shop also has certain requirements for the warehouse, including complete water and electricity, convenient access, and the ability to park large trucks in front of the door."

Director Gui became interested at this time. He stood up and took out a piece of material from the filing cabinet and flipped through it for a while.

"Don't tell me, there really are some warehouses in the seafood warehouse. Old Liu also knows those places."

Liu Deli nodded, remembering Li Aiguo's advice, and continued: "Director, these brothers of mine are from the capital. We are not familiar with the place here, so it is not easy to engage in acquisitions. So I thought of registering a temporary acquisition Click here and see if you can be affiliated with our management committee.”

Director Gui touched his chin, looked at the cigarette in the drawer, pondered for a moment, and said: "You are a collective enterprise. If you send a purchasing point to our market, it can be done. After all, our management committee is now responsible for managing industry and commerce. Picked.”

The Shiqiao Market Management Committee itself is not a formal unit, and its management is not formal, with various responsibilities and authorities.

Management committees such as neighborhood committees, police stations, industrial and commercial bureaus, electric power bureaus, and water conservancy bureaus are products of special times and have very wide powers.

And a pack of cigarettes worth more than ten yuan is just right.

If Li Aiguo sold dozens of dollars now and put it on Director Gui's desk, he would have been kicked out of the office by now.

Liu Deli said: "My brother is in a hurry. Can we go through the formalities tomorrow?"

Director Gui laughed and said, "That's no problem. Bring the relevant information tomorrow and I'll apply for a registration certificate for you. As for the industry and commerce side, you don't have to go. Our management committee will directly interface with the industry and commerce."

"Thank you very much. If you visit the capital in the future, please inform me and I will give you a warm welcome." Li Aiguo stood up and shook hands with Director Gui.

With the endorsement of Shiqiao Market, the banana business can be considered formalized.

Zhou Ke looked stunned.

At first, he was dissatisfied that Li Aiguo wanted to pay Liu Deli a salary of 30 yuan.

Now I am convinced.

He knows very well that even if the market is not standardized and there is room for manipulation, there is absolutely no way to convince the director of the management committee with just that cigarette.

The one who really worked was Liu Deli.

Could it be that Li Aiguo had expected this a long time ago?
Zhou Ke overestimated Li Aiguo.

The reason why Li Aiguo wanted to "hire" Liu Deli in the first place was just to solve some minor troubles, and he had no intention of taking the management committee route.

Later, I learned that the management committee was irregular and there were many affiliated units and shops in the market, so I started to think about it.

There are now three layers to the banana trade.

The first is the Shiqiao Purchasing Point. The upper floor is the Shiqiao Market Management Committee, and the upper floor is the South Tongluo Lane Collective Scrap Store. An informal purchasing station is hidden in an informal market.

Even if someone who is interested comes to investigate, they can only find a confusing account.

However, even if the management committee does not agree to be affiliated, Li Aiguo still has the option of the Yangcheng Railway Bureau.

For example, the train driver he knew and the director of the railway police station had long established contacts.

It's just that the operation is more troublesome.

Li Aiguo never tied success or failure to any one person.

Director Gui seemed extremely enthusiastic. Even before he got the formalities, he picked up the intercom phone and called Director Liu who was in charge of the real estate, and explained to him.

Officer Liu took the key and took Li Aiguo and others to the northeast corner of Shiqiao Market.

The big black iron door opened, revealing five empty houses, totaling more than 300 bungalows, with water pipes and electric lights running inside.

Li Aiguo was very satisfied with the warehouse. He paid a deposit at that time and rented the warehouse in the name of the temporary acquisition point of Shiqiao, a collective scrap shop in South Tongluo Lane.

Putting the procedures into his canvas pocket, Li Aiguo sighed inwardly. Aunt Wang from the Subdistrict Office probably didn't expect that the companies affiliated to the Subdistrict Office even crossed provinces.

In the evening, Li Aiguo asked Liu Deli to call Director Gui and chose a restaurant called Ronghua Building for a meal.

Ronghualou is a traditional Cantonese restaurant that is very famous in Yangcheng and requires reservation in advance.

Director Gui's eyes widened when he saw that Li Aiguo had just made a phone call and booked a private room.

He touched Liu Deli's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Old Liu, who is this little brother of yours?"

Liu Deli chuckled: "Director, I don't know the details, but he is definitely not an ordinary person."

These words also hammered a nail in Director Gui's heart.

"Director Gui, on behalf of the Nantongluo Lane Collective Scrap Shop, I would like to propose a toast to you." Li Aiguo poured a glass of wine.

Looking at Li Aiguo toasting, Director Gui quickly picked up the wine glass.

No matter how you look at it, this guy doesn't look like a junk collector.

Everyone got drunk and then left.

Back at Aiqun Building, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Li Aiguo got up after only two hours of sleep.

He still had to pick up Wang Dakui.

Looking up at the bright stars in the warm night breeze, Li Aiguo understood how hard it was for those who started their own businesses.
