The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 19

Needless to say, Li Huaide, the deputy director of the factory, is really an expert in playing tricks. A deputy section chief in charge of finance directly turned the former section chief Zhang Hai into a decoration of the purchasing department.

No wonder Zhang Haiju was smoking a cigarette in the corridor. He almost lost his job because of a minor incident. Who wouldn't be depressed?
Listening to Sun Meilan's retelling, Zhang Hai went to the logistics department to make a fuss and almost asked Li Huaide to get medical leave directly. If it weren't for the efforts of his backers, he wouldn't have been able to keep his position as section chief.

Moreover, when Zhang Hai made a fuss, he also lost his own future. Lao Li is an old scumbag, so he took advantage of the trouble to directly write it down to him, and took the opportunity to kill him, making Li Huaide play a very clear role.

"Jisheng, do I need a dormitory in the factory?"

Sun Meilan's passion is so intense that Chen Jisheng needs to be dealt with coldly. There are a lot of things going on recently and he can't focus on women. It's enough to have Widow Qin who can't starve him first.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time with this, eat first."

"Jisheng, thank you for giving me your time."

This heart!Sometimes it is easy to guess, just like Li Huaide. Chen Jisheng can see [-]% of his thoughts, but the person behind him is still confused no matter how he sees it.

Damn it, I didn’t even think about investing too much before, I just took care of things first, and then she came to embrace me again, rejected her once, and started to have real feelings again.

He didn't get entangled with the vacillating Sun Meilan, and learned the lesson from the last time he went to eat on his legs. This time, Chen Jisheng rubbed Lao Song's bicycle.

After entering the canteen, he was about to get his meal when he was greeted by Director Fan who was waiting at the side door.

"Mr. Chen, we've got a plan together today. We're in the small room at the back. Can we go together?"

Because of what happened to Zhang Hai in the morning, Chen Jisheng looked down on Lao Fan a little, because he did not have a long-term vision and was not decisive in doing things. But on the other hand, thinking about it, he was a good subordinate, and Li Huaide had a good vision.

"Who's there?" Chen Jisheng was a little uncomfortable with the idea of ​​having a dinner together. He was a new clerk, and when he met the leader of the factory, he could only pretend to be a grandson.

"The director Ma of the supply and marketing agency mentioned last time, the director Liu of the trust store, the section chief Zhao of the third food factory, plus you and me, that's all."

Hearing these people, Chen Jisheng still lacked interest. Talking about things at the wine table is not a sign, but has developed.

There are many people at the wine table who talk a lot, and they all do business with him, which is a bit conflicting with Chen Jisheng's one-on-one trading method.

"Then I'll make ten steamed noodle buns first and eat them at home tonight."

Eating is a big deal. No one in the family knows how to make steamed buns with noodles, and the steamed buns are really unpalatable. Moreover, the craftsmanship in the cafeteria is good, the texture is moderately soft and chewy, so don’t delay the evening meal just because of the inconvenience.

"No need, I asked Silly Zhu to steam a pot of white flour, leaving ten for you first."

Ten steamed buns were nothing to Lao Fan, so Chen Jisheng acquiesced and followed Lao Fan around to a small room behind the canteen.

This small room seems to be Lao Fan's private place. The leaders of the factory will not come to such a hidden place to eat small stoves, to say the least.

Entering this hidden small room, Lao Fan introduced several members of the small circle who were organizing the game one by one.

Section Chief Zhao of the No. [-] Food Factory is young and alert, Director Liu of Beixinqiao Trust is old and wise, and Director Ma of Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative has the highest position and the most power, but he seems to be quite greedy.

Since they are not from the steel rolling mill, there is no leadership relationship. They are all future business partners, and he is in charge. Chen Jisheng has set his position very correctly.

Everyone gathered for the banquet, and everyone said a few toasts without any pain, and then started to get down to business, fierce creation!
There are not many people who are not short of oil and water at this time, and the same is true for leaders. Many materials must be guaranteed to be in supply. Each unit has a surplus, but they want more.

If there is no way to distribute, you can only have a bowl of water. If you want to have oil and water, there is no way. It is just embezzlement and exploiting loopholes.

Even though there are only five or six people at this table, there is probably not one clean person. Just look at the appearance of the food. Looking at the meat and vegetables, everyone looks like a hungry wolf.

"Xiao Chen, it doesn't suit your taste?"

At the lunch dinner, there was not much wine, just a bottle of Xifeng, and each person only had two taels. They had almost eaten. The old man from the supply and marketing cooperative spoke first, because it was based on seniority.

"Lao Ma, Sha Zhu's cooking is pretty good, but I was so busy this morning that I lost my appetite."

Chen Jisheng took out the Camel cigarettes he had opened in the morning from his trouser pocket, struck a match and lit one for himself, blew out the cigarette, and then each of them shared one.

On this table, it is possible to discuss seniority, as long as there are goods in hand, and the goods must be in short supply. On this table, no matter whether you are promoted, you only talk about getting rich, and the tickets are not recognized by your relatives.

When Chen Jisheng's smoke cleared, there was no sound on the table. Lao Fan, Lao Liu, and Lao Zhao all used matches, and only Lao Ma used a kerosene lighter.

After a while, the small room was filled with smoke. Everyone was smoking and picking up the remaining dishes. After finishing a bag of cigarettes, the CD was also completed on the table.

"Director Chen, this..."

Seeing that the situation was a little embarrassing, Lao Fan, as the bureau leader, could only break the situation with words, and in his heart he was scolding Lao Ma for showing off and being ignorant.

"Come one by one to discuss business, and serve wine when discussing friendship."

Chen Jisheng stood up and spread a circle of cigarettes. After giving them the steps, he started smoking like an old man. No matter what Lao Ma or whoever he was, if he wanted to be the boss in the middle, that would not work.After waiting for a while, after finishing another bag of cigarettes, Lao Fan retreated first, followed by Lao Liu and Lao Zhao. Only one old horse from the supply and marketing cooperative was left, and he should be the leader of the small circle.

"Xiao Chen, besides meat, what else is there? How much is it?"

Lao Ma handed over a Chinese stick, but he didn't give in. He still had a lot of airs. The supply and marketing cooperative had a big business and had a lot of airs.

"Grain, oil, meat, sugar, how much can you ask for?"

What Chen Jisheng wants to ask is how much he dares to ask for. Unplanned allocations must be measured in a certain amount. Anyone who is too greedy and has no comparison cannot do business with him.

"Five tons each a month, okay?"

Seeing Lao Ma biting his cheek, Chen Jisheng nodded slightly. Although this man was greedy, he still knew what he was doing, but the fixed quota of five tons per month was too regular, and that wouldn't work!
If you do this, you will be taken away for investigation in less than three months, and you can only ship goods at any time.

"Not every month! The meat is pork, beef and sheep, the oil is pork suet, the sugar is white sugar, the food is only rice, and there is not much white flour. I will call you to pick up the goods.

What are you doing?The money should be less, gold bars are best. "

After laying out his own trading rules, Chen Jisheng was also thinking about what he wanted. He couldn't spend a small amount of money, and there was no place to spend more money.

Take the money to find someone like Widow Qin, maybe three or five at most. No matter how many you have, you won't be able to keep busy. If you change things, it's just like that. You don't have many arms or legs. The real environment has to keep you pure.

As for the supplies, Chen Jisheng didn't really want them. He had a group of storage warehouses here, and he had to pour them out to exchange supplies, which was a burden on both sides.

"You can pay for all gold bars! Five tons of rice, pork, beef, and sugar! The rest depends on what you have. Don't give him too much from Lao Zhao, it's unreliable!"

After listening to Chen Jisheng's conditions, Lao Ma probably knew the source of the supplies. He was afraid that they were obtained from outside. He must keep his mouth shut about such things.

There is nothing wrong with the bulk cargo, but the provenance cannot be exposed. If it is exposed, it will really kill someone. The army is even more powerful at this. In order to protect himself, Lao Ma even sold Lao Zhao.

"Okay! Can you pick up the goods tonight?"

When Chen Jisheng heard that Lao Ma said that Lao Zhao was unreliable, he knew that Lao Ma was considered stable, and he could cooperate for a period of time in the future. Picking up the goods tonight is also a way to see how good Lao Ma is.

With Lao Ma making a show, Lao Zhao directly asked Chen Jisheng to refuse, Lao Liu promised to get some old furniture, and Chen Jisheng offered [-] catties of sugar, which was a test of the waters for both parties.

After the deal was concluded, Lao Fan was served tea again. Lao Zhao was not upset that the deal was not concluded. The five of them chatted and drank tea, and returned to the way they had been in the beginning. They were all in good spirits.

After chatting until about two o'clock, everyone dispersed. Chen Jisheng felt that his biggest gain from Lao Fan's dinner was Lao Ma from Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

The quantity of goods he wants, Chen Jisheng also has considerations, maybe this old horse is one of the suppliers in the pigeon market everywhere, so it's better to have a deeper understanding of such a person.

"Old Fan, is this old horse engaged in the black market?"

Chen Jisheng and Director Fan are now on the same line. If you don't understand something, just ask. Lao Fan might know.

"Yes! His methods are very wild, but his credibility is guaranteed, and there are people standing behind him! Lao Ma has a strict mouth, and his methods will not be exposed easily. There will be no problem on your side. He has been doing it for many years. "

When dealing with the pigeon market, the target was also the sellers and had little to do with the suppliers. After hearing Lao Fan's explanation, Chen Jisheng also had some concerns.

"Do you know what's going on in his family?"

When Chen Jisheng asked about this, Lao Fan was a little embarrassed. After all, betraying a friend was not a glorious thing.

But Deputy Factory Manager Li told him that Xiao Chen was a very powerful character and he couldn't be offended. After some weighing, he chose Chen Jisheng's side.

"Lao Ma is a filial son. He has two parents at home. His wife is a clerk in the district. He has three sons and four daughters. The eldest son is married and has two children.

This is the address of his family. The whole family lives together. His eldest son is out of town. I have to ask for the address and will give it to you this afternoon. "

Seeing that Lao Fan said it clearly and neatly, Chen Jisheng smiled, now this ignorant man is one of his own.

Lao Ma's situation is also particularly reliable. There are so many oil bottles, even if his supplies are checked, he can only go to Lao Ma.

As for adding insurance to the old horse, Chen Jisheng thought about it, but he thought it was a bit redundant, so he didn't think about it carefully. There was a need to add insurance now, but in a few months, it probably wouldn't be necessary. He didn't dare!

This dinner also made Chen Jisheng start to form his own small circle. No matter how useless he is, Lao Fan has to be one, Lao Ma is another, Lao Zhao can't do it, and Lao Liu is not very good at old age. It's okay for two years temporarily.

Although Lao Fan and Lao Ma were shouting, Lao Fan was only over 30, Lao Ma was probably less than 50, and Lao Liu was over [-].

After clearing his thoughts, he made an appointment with Lao Fan to deliver the five pigs tomorrow. Taking the steamed buns prepared by Lao Fan, Chen Jisheng went to the scrap yard in the factory area again, planning to take a carriage to the yard.
