National Tide 1980

Today, the biggest shortage in various industries may be money.

But what was really in short supply at that time were the means of production.

Especially in the early 1980s, various production fields in our country were scrambling to increase production.

If there are not enough raw materials to guarantee production, will industrial enterprises suffer?

This has undoubtedly become the biggest worry for industrial enterprises.

When local factories encounter a shortage of production materials, they often go to the local industrial management department and ask for allocation.

However, some factories in special industries, especially large-scale state-owned factories, are directly under the leadership of central ministries and commissions.

They had no other choice but to go to Beijing to solve the problem.

Needless to say, a bowl of water can never be truly level.

Therefore, some business leaders who understand this truth will send special personnel to the capital almost every once in a while to cry out for help.

Not to mention, a child who cries will get milk.

Just crying and begging like this can often bring about unplanned supplies.

But over time, this became a well-known "secret".

Every unit is crying out for food, which naturally causes everyone to follow suit.

Therefore, it is inevitable that this kind of competition will escalate year by year.

And this kind of war over articles of approval...if it can be called a war, is of course becoming increasingly difficult to fight.

By the time everyone is able to act out love scenes, the only thing that will matter most is their communication skills.

Polyethylene is known as the rice of industry.

Coal is called the blood of industry.

These two items are the most in short supply due to their wide range of uses.

Especially in the plastic products processing industry, without these two things, work would have to stop completely.

Therefore, Chang Huanhuan, deputy director of the Southern Red Sun Plastic Products Factory, has been making two trips to the capital in the middle and end of each year since last year.

But this time when he came to Beijing, the deputy director who boasted that he was well versed in the capital and always had immediate success was worried.

Just when he was about to pick up the goods, Ganqing encountered an unexpected situation.

The ministry suddenly received instructions from its superiors to allocate a large amount of materials to support the production tasks of two military industrial enterprises.

There were supplies originally intended for him, which immediately reduced the value of his batch of notes by half.

Although the person who approved the note was considerate of his difficulties and wrote another note to fill the gap.

But the trouble is that this note has to be transferred from a large factory in the capital under another ministry.

Chang Deli uses himself to judge others, of course he knows that what other factories have swallowed, how can it be so easy to spit it out again?

As the saying goes, it is better for the county magistrate to take charge now.

Although the gods in the ministry are high above others, they will never say no to something when given an order.

But if you really want to deal with him in a perfunctory way, it's not impossible.

Ask him to wait for ten and a half months, and then tell him that he has tried his best, but if he really can't be mobilized, what can he do?

Even if we look for the leader, we can't really stop the production line, right?

Therefore, it depends on communication and treating guests to dinner.

You have to get "Twenty Rings" (cigarettes), "Hand Grenades" (wine), and "Packs of Explosives" (high-end food), and have a good relationship with the factory for this batch of strips to be effective.

But the key issue is that the gifts and souvenirs he brings are all calculated on the basis of the number of people in the ministry.

It's okay to treat guests, just spend money to set up a few tables and that's it.

But giving gifts is difficult. You have to collect them as you go.

But he has no such connections in the capital, so where can he get the good smoke and good wine?

Even in a place as big as the capital, the best things you can buy in stores on the market are Class B cigarettes and wine that costs two or three yuan a bottle.

It's a bit hard to use for running errands.

At the very least, you have to get a few bottles of Luzhou Laojiao, a few peonies, and friendship to make it sound, right?

This is true in social interaction. It is better not to give something inferior than not.

Because it is very likely that people will misunderstand and offend others, which is called a loss that outweighs the gain.

So, what he is worried about now is whether he should inform his factory to send someone to deliver gifts quickly.

It's better to find ways to find ways in the capital and try our best to get something that can be put on the table.

The key is to be quick, because if someone's production plan is arranged, the raw materials will really not be available.

Or if other manufacturers ask for approval first, wouldn’t it also increase the difficulty?

Anyway, trouble!

Don't say it, God is really starving to death.

There really is a thing in the world where if you want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow.

Just when Director Chang was scratching his head every day and having nowhere to look, tobacco and alcohol were delivered to his door.

And this Lord who was like an angel in times of trouble, rescuing Jesus in distress, was none other than the compassionate Zhang Shihui.

Speaking of which, Zhang Shihui and Director Chang are no strangers to each other.

Because when Director Chang came to the capital for the first time, it was Zhang Shihui who helped him find out the specific address and drew the route map on the map. Director Chang even gave Zhang Shihui a toad mirror for this matter.

So after just reaching a consensus with Ning Weimin, it's not surprising that Zhang Shihui first thought of Factory Director Chang.

After all, it is the most natural choice to start a situation with acquaintances, and it is not embarrassing to hit a wall.

It was precisely because of this that when Zhang Shihui got off the night shift the next day, she changed her clothes.

With the intention of giving it a try first, I knocked on Director Chang's door.

He received his first part-time business smoothly.

"What? Xiao Zhang, can you get good cigarettes and good wine?"

After opening the door and hearing Zhang Shihui's intention, Director Chang immediately screamed, bulging his eyes and trying his best to open the ditch.

Instead, it was like seeing a miracle.

He really didn't believe that he was worrying about tobacco and alcohol, so why did someone just come to his door?

"Really, really," Zhang Shihui nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

He saw that there was a way, and there was a light of hope in his eyes.

I was also thinking in my mind, wouldn’t it be so smooth?

Director Chang was still a little in disbelief.

"Ah? Where did you come from? Are you reliable?"

"Of course it's reliable. This is the capital, I'll go there..."

At the same time as Zhang Shihui answered, he looked around cautiously.

He wasn't careless, but he didn't want to be caught by someone from housekeeping.

"No, can you let me in?"

"well……"

Director Chang woke up and quickly let Zhang Shihui into the room, closed the door and hurriedly asked about the source of the things.

Zhang Shihui and Ning Weimin had already made a plan.

He claimed that his relative worked in a sugar, tobacco and alcohol company and had just become a small leader.

"Xiao Zhang, what can you get? I don't want ordinary things, I just want good ones, the best ones, can you do that?"

This issue was also discussed yesterday, and Zhang Shihui was not afraid at all.

"Moutai or Wuliangye? Zhonghua or Peony?"

"Ah? Maotai... OK, you!"

Director Chang was stunned for a moment. He was really amazed and looked at it with admiration.

Ask again later.

"What's the price of Moutai and Zhonghua? What's the price of Peony and Wuliangye?"

"Maotai and Zhonghua Cigarettes are both...20 yuan, and Wuliangye and Mudan Cigarettes are both 15 yuan."

"How soon? If I want it, when can I get it? How many can you get?"

"This... it takes you half a day to do it. Don't worry about the quantity. How much do you want?"

To be honest, Director Chang was already tempted by this time.

But after all, he is someone who always runs in the outfield.

He could see that Zhang Shihui was a little guilty when he said the price just now.

I rolled my eyes and felt that if the price was worth it, I still had to fight for it.

I tried to make a price call.

"Isn't the thing a bit expensive? How much is the official price in the store? It can't be more than double, right? Can Maotai and Zhonghua Fifteen be good?"

"That's... okay. How much do you want?"

Hearing this, Director Chang was ecstatic.

Because the market outside was for Maotai 18 bottles, he never expected that Zhang Shihui agreed without counter-offering and actually took advantage.

"Okay, then I want eight bottles of Maotai and eight sticks of Chinese cigarettes. Hurry up, I'll wait for you for a day at most."

After he made the request, he added more just to be sure.

"But there's one thing. I have to see the thing first before I can pay for it."

"No problem." Zhang Shihui's eyes also shone, and the muscles on his face were completely stretched.

Then he remembered something and quickly added, "Please prepare the money, we only need cash."
