Chapter 200 Benefiting the Country and the People
"Young comrade, are you going to fish here?" The fat leader, Director Ni, greeted with a smile on his face.
Secretary Zhao wanted to move forward, but was blocked by other village heads.
"Yes, who are you?" Wang Tiedan and the other two stood up and asked.
Director Ni coughed, and a village secretary next to him stepped forward and introduced himself.
"This is Director Ni from the Coordination Department of Mujiayu Commune, and this is Director Xie from the Production Department. They are both the top leaders of our commune."
"Oh, Director Ni, Director Xie, hello, we are the buyers of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, my last name is Wang Tiedan."
"My name is Hou Cong."
"My name is Wu Haotian."
Since the occasion was so formal, Wang Tiedan and the other two could not be stage-frightened, so as not to lose face for the steel mill.
Director Ni and Director Xie were not surprised at the identities of the three people. They were all at the section-level and state cadres. Those who usually interacted with them were generally at the level of logistics ministers.
"If I remember correctly, the director of your logistics department's surname is Ai, Ai Shengli," said Director Xie.
Wang Tiedan and Shouhou shook their heads.
"Isn't it? I had dinner with him two years ago. Did he get promoted?"
Wang Tiedan and Shouhou looked at each other and shook their heads.
Director Xie was confused.
"What's your logistics director's name?"
"We just joined the factory not long ago and we don't know each other yet!"
"Correct!"
After Wang Tiedan finished speaking, Shouhou and Dahan hurriedly agreed.
The situation suddenly became awkward. I was trying to show off my relationship, but in vain, the other person didn't even know me.
However, those who can get into officialdom are all thick-skinned.
Director Xie coughed and didn't take it seriously at all.
"Our commune did have contact with your factory. You may not know the logistics director, but the factory director should know him. I also know your factory director Yang."
"Director Yang, we know him too." Wang Tiedan said with a smile, but then changed the subject.
"It's a pity that he doesn't know us."
"That's not certain, maybe they know each other?" the skinny monkey at the side said.
"Director Yang is very busy and has never spoken to us. How could he possibly know us?"
"If you haven't spoken to us, you definitely don't know us. Last time we sent a black bear to the factory, and it ate our bear paws. How could it not recognize us?"
"You remembered it wrongly. The bear paw was taken away by Director Li. He also gave us a lot of receipts and told us to give it to him next time we have bear paws. Did you forget?"
"I haven't forgotten, because we got involved with Director Li because of this. But I think that Director Li and Director Wang of the Street Office can't eat all four bear paws, right? At least one should be left for Director Yang, right?"
"You're wrong. I think Director Li is more likely to use the money to honor his father-in-law who is a vice-ministerial official."
"Is that the Deputy Minister of Industry?"
"Yes, they came to inspect us before. You forgot that they specially asked us for the game they ate that time."
"You're right, if you say so."
Wang Tiedan and Shouhou were arguing as if no one was around, as if Director Xie and his group had never existed.
Director Xie and a group of village heads and secretaries were very angry at first, but the more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong.
This is not chatting, this is showing off one's background!
They don't think the two are just using the tiger's skin to pull the banner.
There are surprisingly many officials in Beijing. A flowerpot falling from a building can kill a section chief, three deputy section chiefs, or even a director if things go wrong.
The way of dealing with the world in the officialdom is to believe it rather than not believe it! If it is true, wouldn't it offend people for nothing?
Director Ni was well aware of this and his tone became much more polite.
"Comrade, we heard from Secretary Zhao of Mujiatun that we got a new type of bait from you, which is very attractive to the fish in the reservoir and makes fishing very easy.
I wonder if this is true?"
Secretary Zhao, who was behind the crowd, wanted to speak, but was covered by the mouth by other village secretaries.
Wang Tiedan didn't know that the man surnamed Ni was deceiving him. He thought about it and decided that if the matter was leaked, it was just a matter of a formula and it would not be difficult to solve, so he nodded.
"That's what happened, what's the matter?"
Director Ni and Director Xie's eyes met, both filled with joy.
"Little comrade, do you know that your bait has far-reaching significance for the country, the people, and the millions of working people?"
Wang Tiedan simply shook his head.
"do not know."
Director Ni widened his eyes and hurriedly explained.
"Young comrade, think about it, if the new bait becomes popular, how much fish can be caught in a day? The Miyun Reservoir alone can satisfy the fish needs of the entire city.
If it were to spread to all major lakes, rivers, and even the sea, the output would be enormous.
Comrade, believe it or not, this bait of yours can prevent people from suffering from hunger all over the country, and even generate huge foreign exchange income for the country.
Therefore, I hope you can hand over the bait formula to the country. On behalf of the country, I thank you for your contribution. The people of the country will never forget your noble act. "
Director Ni was fantasizing as if his own achievement was right in front of him. Director Xie beside him also had a very excited look on his face. As long as he handed in the bait formula, his future career would be smooth sailing.
Wang Tiedan was also lost in thought at this time.
As expected of an official, he has an open mind. River fish nowadays are not very attractive, and we should indeed go to the seaside to get some seafood.
Lobster, grouper, yellow croaker, tuna, geoduck, grouper, etc. He was a miserable man in his previous life. He had never tasted them, let alone remembered their names. He would be sorry if he didn't try them in this life.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help licking his lips. It was Nannan, who was holding Wang Tiedan's calf, who pinched him to wake him up.
"Third uncle, are you drooling?"
Wang Tiedan hurriedly picked up Nannan and took a breath.
"Well, Third Uncle wants to eat Nannan. Come, give me a bite."
"No, hehe~"
Director Xie and Director Ni could not stand still when they saw the two people fighting.
"What do you think, little comrade?"
"How about what?"
“Give the formula to the state!”
"not so good!"
Wang Tiedan refused without hesitation. How could a modern man be fooled by you?
"Little comrade, how can I explain it to you clearly? Do you know..."
"You don't know."
Wang Tiedan interrupted Director Xie directly.
"Director Xie, Director Ni, I know what you mean, but have you ever thought about what the raw materials of this bait are, how to mix it, and how much it costs?"
"No matter how much money it costs, I believe that the country will spare no effort to create all the conditions," Director Ni said firmly.
"That's what you said."
Wang Tiedan smiled.
"Three hundred years. If not, at least two hundred years of wild ginseng. Fresh ones are needed. Dried ones are not enough. This is the main ingredient. We need to extract the juice from the ginseng. How much do you think the country has?"
Skinny Monkey also added: "Ginseng is the main ingredient, as is Polygonum multiflorum. Ten pounds of it, dry, needs to be ground into powder and fermented using a special method."
"Yes, a root of wild ginseng, combined with more than a dozen Chinese herbs, Director Xie, right? Let's not talk about how much my formula is worth. Even if you bought the formula, would you dare to use it?"
