Chapter 117 Reward Submachine Gun

After a while, Director Lu, Deputy Director Yang and Li Huaide came over together.

"Comrade Li Kailang, you made it so difficult for us to find you yesterday!" Director Lu said directly.

Li Kailang learned from Wen Peixin that these leaders were still looking for him yesterday.

"I'm sorry, Director Lu, Secretary Wang came to me and I couldn't refuse! You are all leaders, and I'm just a small worker. How dare I refuse the leader's request?" Li Kailang explained.

"Comrade Li Kailang, you are no longer an ordinary worker. You are a great inventor and are attracting much attention!" Director Lu said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I don't dare to be an inventor. This invention is not a great invention. I don't have that ability and don't deserve the title of inventor." Li Kailang quickly declined.

How did these two inventions come from? How could I not know? They were copied.

"Okay, don't be so modest. Your invention is taken very seriously and there should be results soon." Director Lu said bluntly.

"Really? Then I have to thank all the leaders for their support and concern. Without your help and support, this might not have been accomplished!" Li Kailang said with a little panic.

Director Lu was telling the truth. After all, the credit and foreign exchange earned for free were really exciting!
They received instructions from the top leader yesterday.

"Comrade Li, you two must reward him well when you return and keep him in the steel mill. Don't let him leave!"

"Now Comrade Li's invention has been noticed by the Patent Office. Who knows, the Patent Office may come to poach him, and who knows, the foreign exchange quota may also be snatched away.

"You have to keep them! No matter what method you use, you can't let them go!" the big leader warned.

Li Huaide also received the same instructions.

The diplomacy of Sijiu City is not good now.

There are few types of foreign exchange held.

The main problem is the lack of foreign exchange to purchase equipment. The current equipment is from the war period and is somewhat outdated.

If you want to develop, you need to change urgently, but if you want to change, you need foreign exchange to buy foreign equipment.

Throughout the 50s, the foreign exchange held by Beijing mainly relied on donations from overseas Chinese, but Beijing could not always rely on overseas Chinese for foreign exchange.

All these reasons combined make Li Kailang’s invention so important!
"Okay, okay, this time we came here to discuss how to reward you."

"After all, your invention means a lot to our factory. Although you donated your invention, our factory also has to express its appreciation." Director Lu said seriously.

"I don't feel comfortable doing this. Whether it's for the public or for personal reasons, it's what I should do. How can I ask for a reward?" Li Kailang pretended to refuse.

"We appreciate your kindness, and we are also happy that you have such awareness, but you still need a reward," Director Lu said seriously.

The two sides fought to the extreme again, and finally Li Kailang was defeated.

Li Kailang is now listed as a staff member of the Ministry of Metallurgy, we can’t let him go!

If he went to other factories, even if they were not steel mills, Li Kailang would invisibly take away a portion of the foreign exchange.

Besides, Li Kailang is still very young. Maybe he will make more inventions in the future and earn foreign exchange for the steel mill.

"Okay, our leaders have already decided on this matter, so don't refuse!"

Director Lu looked at Deputy Director Yang and Li Huaide to confirm that neither of them had any intention of changing.

The three of them were already discussing the reward for Li Kailang yesterday.

In the conference room, Director Lu asked Li Huaide:
"Deputy Director Li, the Transportation Department is the department you are in charge of. I wonder what you think about rewarding Li Kailang?"

"What ideas can I have? You are the factory director. You make the decision and I will be responsible for the execution." Li Huaide did not respond and pushed the question back directly.

Nonsense, he had spent so much time and effort to come up with a solution to win over Li Kailang, how could he just reveal it because of Director Lu's words?

Upon hearing this, Director Lu and Deputy Director Yang looked at Li Huaide deeply, knowing that he must have his own ideas when he said this.

But since Li Huaide didn't say anything, they couldn't force him. After all, Li Huaide really had connections in the Ministry of Metallurgy, and they were almost as good as the big leaders.

The two looked at each other and could only figure out a solution themselves.

"I think we should start with the improvement of work level. What do you think?" Director Lu asked Deputy Director Yang.

"I think it's okay!"

"Cough cough~" Li Huaide coughed twice.

"What's wrong? Deputy Director Li, is there any problem?" Director Lu asked.

"Let me remind you that Li Kailang is now a trainee driver. He can only be promoted to a higher level after the internship period!"

"Can I end the internship early?" asked Deputy Director Yang. He was obviously a little surprised by this situation.

"That's impossible. Li Kailang's internship period is under the jurisdiction of the transportation department, and we can't do anything about it!" Li Huaide replied.

The two factory managers were very familiar with the workshop, and it was easy for them to promote an apprentice, but they did not expect that they had no way to do anything with Li Kailang.

They also thought that drivers could be promoted internally like the workers in their workshops.

"Well, let's change it!" Director Lu said helplessly.

"Well, how about increasing Li Kailang's salary? He is a trainee driver now, so he should be paid like a master driver."

Director Lu looked at Li Huaide and saw that he had no objection, so he decided: "Then treat them the same as the driver."

"Then treat them like drivers," Director Lu decided.

Deputy Factory Director Yang added: "It's not enough to just increase his salary. How about giving him some other benefits?"

Director Lu also thought it was a good idea, and the two of them discussed it again, basically putting forward all the conditions that Li Huaide would need to win over Li Kailang.

Li Huaide was helpless as he watched the two of them state their conditions step by step.

After all, Li Kailang's internship period was like a natural barrier that basically blocked their way to promoting Li Kailang.

The two eventually listed the rewards including deputy fifth-level treatment, a two-hundred-yuan bonus, and rare tickets.

Rare tickets such as meat tickets, cake tickets, candy tickets, bean tickets, etc.

Compared with Li Huaide, in addition to the tickets, he was only given a sewing plane ticket and a place in the cadre building.

"By the way, let's not make this matter public for now, so as not to affect other workers," suggested Director Lu.

Hearing this, both of them nodded.

Deputy Director Yang also agreed: "I think it's okay. The patent application has not been finalized yet. It won't be too late to talk about it after it is completely finalized. But the reward can be given in advance."

"Okay, then we'll follow Deputy Director Yang's suggestion. The benefits will be implemented from next month, but they won't be announced to the public for the time being," Director Lu made the decision.

The two factory managers just wanted to keep Li Kailang and let him continue working in the steel rolling mill and obey the arrangements of the top leaders.

They don't want to get involved in other matters.

As a result, Li Huaide's previous conditions for winning over Li Kailang were basically gone.

If you want to win over Li Kailang again, you have to set new conditions.

"These are the rewards we give you. You'd better not tell anyone about this. Just know it!"

Director Lu and Li Kailang explained their decision.

"Thank you for your kindness, leaders. I am sorry for causing you all trouble. I will work hard in the future and serve the steel mill." Li Kailang said gratefully.

"Okay, okay, we are glad that you have such awareness. We hope you can achieve more success and come up with a few more patents!"

After giving some encouragement, Director Lu said hello to Li Huaide, then left with Deputy Director Yang to inspect the workshop.

To be honest, if Li Kailang was not a driver, he would actually prefer to work in the workshop. Although the work is hard and there are no hidden benefits, there are no complicated interpersonal relationships there, and you have to rely on your skills to make a living.

As long as the skills are good, given the personalities of Director Lu and Deputy Director Yang, they will definitely give senior workers enough respect.

After watching the two people leave, Li Huaide looked at Li Kailang.

Yesterday, the three of them had already discussed the reward for Li Kailang. After returning, Li Huaide also reconsidered the conditions for winning over Li Kailang.

Like Director Lu and Deputy Director Yang, Li Huaide also believed that Li Kailang was still young and would definitely be able to create inventions and earn foreign exchange in the future.

If Li Kailang knew what these leaders were thinking, he would probably hit himself with a piece of tofu and kill himself.

Are you kidding me? Those so-called inventions are not my own ideas, they are all copied! I have no more ideas in my mind now.
-
Now Li Huaide is worried about how to win over Li Kailang again.

Li Kailang was so "outstanding" that Li Huaide didn't know how to reward him to make him satisfied.

As mentioned before, Li Kailang's internship period was really disgusting to them. They didn't even know what to do if they wanted a reward.

If Li Kailang was simply given some money as a reward, two or three hundred yuan would not be much of an incentive for a driver.

Even if you have more money, you can’t spend it all. After all, without tickets, one person can’t spend that much!
Moreover, Li Kailang already has "three turns and one ring", and the ticket reward is obviously no longer applicable to Li Kailang.

"Xiao Li! You are amazing! You have achieved so much and really made me proud! Tell me, how should I reward you?" Li Huaide asked.

"Director Li, your words are too polite. As your subordinate, my contribution will only bring honor to you!"

"Besides, I'm yours!" Li Kailang replied in pretended panic.

Seeing Li Kailang's frightened look, Li Huaide was still very happy. It seemed that Li Kailang did not betray him.

As for what Li Kailang is thinking, only he himself knows.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for letting me show my face in front of the leader. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Li Huaide directly threw the question to Li Kailang so that he didn't have to worry about how to reward him.

"How can I do this? Several leaders have already rewarded me, how can I ask for more?" Li Kailang looked embarrassed and declined.

Li Huaide looked at Li Kailang's hesitation, sighed and said, "Hey, Kailang, this reward from the steel mill is for you, not me. As my subordinate, how can you not have a separate reward?"

"Okay, stop refusing. Tell me, what reward do you want?" After saying that, Li Huaide pretended to be angry.

Seeing this, Li Kailang knew that he couldn't refuse, so he had to propose it.

In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, apart from the house which is somewhat attractive, I don’t care about anything else.

But the house has a courtyard, so it is not necessary at all.

As for the tube-shaped building, that thing is really not worth looking at from the perspective of modern people.

After thinking hard, Li Kailang still couldn't figure out what he wanted.

But even if there is nothing, we must create something, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Li Huaide.

As a leader, I’m afraid that my subordinates don’t want anything, and this is difficult to grasp!
"Director Li, you know I'm renovating my house recently and I'm a bit short of money. Can you give me some more sponsorship?" Li Kailang asked tentatively.

"Didn't I give you two hundred last time? Why are you still short of money?" Li Huaide was a little confused.

"Director Li, you forgot that I used the money you gave me last time to buy a sewing machine. I didn't have any money left for renovation. I still owe you money."

"Okay then, tell me, how much do you want?"

"Not much, not much, just two hundred yuan will be fine!" Li Kailang tentatively asked.

This number is just right, not too much. One hundred is too little, three hundred is too much, and two hundred is about right.

"Okay, I'll give it to you." As he said that, he took out two hundred yuan from the drawer of his office and handed it to Li Kailang.

"Just want the money, nothing else?" Li Huaide said meaningfully.

Money alone can't buy Li Kailang.

"Director Li, is there anything else you want?" Li Kailang asked knowingly.

Of course he knew that with Li Huaide's status and generosity, he could definitely give more than that.

"Nonsense! With such a small amount of money, can't you borrow from your master? Just ask boldly!" Li Huaide said, slamming the table.

This was also Li Kailang's way of testing Li Huaide. If he could bribe him with just some money, wouldn't he be a shame to the time travelers?
"Hey, Director Li, you know that our drivers have to go out frequently. It would be even better if we could get a gun."

Li Kailang whispered to Li Huaide with a sly smile on his face.

"Gun?" Li Huaide showed a slightly surprised expression, "Don't all of you pilots have guns?"

"Director Li, that's the steel mill's gun, not mine. It's inconvenient to do some things, you know."

Hearing this, Li Huaide smiled slightly and pointed at Li Kailang:
"You kid, it's not that simple. Tell me, what kind of gun do you want?"

"Will a submachine gun work?" Li Kailang asked tentatively.

"Submachine gun?" Li Huaide's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Aren't you all equipped with pistols? Why do you need a submachine gun?"

"Director Li, the few bullets in a pistol are not enough. They are not as powerful as a submachine gun. It would be nice if you could get a rifle." Li Kailang said wishfully.

"You're dreaming. A rifle? A pistol is good enough." Li Huaide scolded with a smile.

Ask for a sky-high price and pay it back at the low price. Since Li Huaide dares me to ask boldly, I will ask boldly.

Always try to ask for a high price, just in case you succeed!
"No, Director Li, forget about the pistols. We have them in the factory. We are not short of them. At least it has to be a submachine gun, right?" Li Kailang said unwillingly.

He was thinking about how to get a submachine gun before, and now the opportunity has come to him, right?

Besides, Li Huaide can get a pistol easily, but a submachine gun is a bit difficult to get. How can the leadership ability be reflected without difficulty?

"Do you really want a submachine gun?" Li Huaide confirmed again.

Li Kailang nodded: "Yes, I want a submachine gun."

Li Huaide hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll get you a submachine gun, but not so fast, just wait."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, take your time." Li Kailang said quickly.

He was already satisfied just to get the submachine gun, and he didn't care how long it took.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll do it for you." Li Huaide said unhappily.

Just as Li Kailang thought, it was still a bit difficult for Li Huaide to make a submachine gun. It would be difficult to do it without some time.

Although everyone has guns to some extent nowadays, if you want to get one from someone else, you still have to pay a price.

It would be best to get the guns that have been discarded by the military, but you have to handle the relationship well.

However, these are not very difficult for Li Huaide.

Afterwards, the two exchanged pleasantries and talked about other topics.

Before leaving, Li Huaide gave Li Kailang another quota in the cadre building. Now Li Kailang had two rooms in the tube building.

Li Huaide is quite capable to be able to sit in the position of deputy factory director.

When dealing with subordinates, as long as you have enough ability or financial resources, they will try their best to meet your requirements.

Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao are examples of financial resources.
