Chapter 239 Beginning 1 and 5
Versailles is Versailles.
Wang Tiedan is willing as long as the village lives well.
He hurriedly called the villagers and security guards to weigh and load the goods together.
A dozen young men loaded all the prey into the car in two trips.
The accountant weighed it and it was exactly 2,800 kilograms, a little over one ton.
I exchanged it for 500 kilograms of flour, 500 kilograms of rice, 3,000 kilograms of three-grain flour, plus 2,000 yuan, and that was more or less what I got.
Wang Tiedan said hello, got in the car and went to Mujiatun to catch fish.
But before it arrived, everyone in the car was dumbfounded.
I saw several large trucks crowded at the entrance of Mujiatun Village, unable to get in, and I don’t know how many more were inside the village.
"What's going on?" The driver opened the car door, stood up and took a look, and he felt that things were going to be bad.
"Tiedan, it seems like someone is trying to haul the fish. Will our fish be snatched away?"
Wang Tiedan took a closer look and also felt a little confused.
"It looks like it's from another factory. Hurry up and ask the car behind to take the meat back to the city first. Don't let these people see it. Ask them to report the situation here when they pass by the county town. I'm afraid we'll be lucky if we can take a carload of fish back today."
"Okay! I'll contact them right away!"
The driver did not dare to delay and got off and went to the car behind.
Wang Tiedan also got out of the car and rushed to the village.
After walking for a while, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
It was clearly written on the cart: steel mills, textile mills, rolling mills, grain stations, all of them were large factories or large units. They were like cats smelling fish, all coming to grab the fish.
Wang Tiedan is a vengeful person.
If you, Zhong Youcai, dare to spread the news, I will help promote it.
This is what I call you being the first, so don't blame me for being the fifteenth.
That’s why we have the results we have today.
As for what I promised Li Huaide, it’s not that I didn’t work hard, it’s that your subordinates are too deceitful.
How could I, a small purchasing agent, possibly compete with the leaders of so many big companies, right?
If anyone is to be blamed, it should be Zhong Youcai, who was not careful with his words.
Before Wang Tiedan entered the brigade's yard, he heard a fierce quarrel inside.
"Secretary Zhao, one thousand kilograms. Just one thousand kilograms. It's not much. I'll pay twice the market price. Give it to me and I'll leave now!"
"I'm sorry, Chief Song, it's not about the price. I've already promised them, so it's hard to do!"
"What's so difficult about this, Secretary Zhao? We've all come here, you can't let us go back empty-handed, right? Our First Steel Plant is much bigger than the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. If there's a problem, we'll take the brunt of it for you, right?"
"No, no, this is a question of integrity! I really don't have any more!"
"Secretary Zhao, you have at least 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms of fish here. We have inquired about it clearly. No matter what, we will not let the people from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill take all of them away."
"That's right. The price we offered was higher than that of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and we have been cooperating with them for a longer time. To put it bluntly, they were the ones who cut us off first, so it is only natural for us to cut them off!"
"Yes, yes, we have brought all the food here, Secretary Zhao. We are all outside with our people and cars. If you don't give us the food, we won't leave!"
"Everyone, this is not just about the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, but also the Nanluoguxiang Street Office. They want to provide benefits to the families of martyrs and soldiers. I really can't agree to your request."
"Why do we have to give out fish as welfare? One fish can only be eaten for a few days. How about we give them food of equivalent value in our steel mill?"
"Yes, we can coordinate some fabrics! We guarantee that we won't delay the distribution of benefits!"
Secretary Zhao looked at the section chiefs and directors spitting and felt a headache. Ever since the last visit from the commune, their entire village had kept it strictly confidential and only fished at night.
But somehow the news leaked out.
As he was speaking, the door suddenly opened, and Wang Tiedan, along with the accountants from the steel rolling mill and the street office, squeezed into the already tight brigade headquarters.
"Secretary Zhao is busy!"
The room suddenly became quiet and everyone turned their eyes to Wang Tiedan.
"Tiedan, you're finally here!" Secretary Zhao broke the silence and introduced hurriedly.
"Everyone, this is the buyer of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. The fish is his. If you want the fish, talk to him. I don't have any."
"Brother Song, Brother Zhang, hello!"
Wang Tiedan smiled and greeted several buyers he knew, then looked at several leaders.
"Dear leaders, please have mercy on me and don't bother with a small person like me. I must pull this fish back, otherwise I will lose my job. Please understand."
"It's easy to get a job. You can come to our factory!"
"Yes, our factory is also OK, and Hou Cong is also OK, the three of you can come together and become regular employees directly, is that OK?"
Several purchasing department chiefs and directors knew Wang Tiedan to some extent and immediately extended an olive branch to him.
Wang Tiedan bowed hurriedly.
"Thank you for your kindness, leaders. I really can't make the decision. How about this, I give you 100 kilograms of fish each?"
"Hey, one hundred kilograms, just to feed the beggars!" said one of the leaders. He was not angry and called others to join in.
"Wang Tiedan, let's do this. We won't make things difficult for you. No matter how many fish there are here, our family will only have 5,000 kilograms out of 1,000 kilograms. The rest will be given to you. Let's do this. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, one thousand pounds, no one should grab it!"
"Without a thousand pounds, no one can take this fish away."
This suggestion immediately aroused everyone's approval.
Wang Tiedan had anticipated this situation, and he said a few words to the two accountants, then said, "Dear leaders, I am just a purchaser, and I really can't make the decision. Otherwise, why don't you go directly to our factory and ask our factory director Li Huaide for it first?"
"That won't work. Once we get into your factory, how can we get out? You treat us like children."
"Indeed, it would be strange if your Director Li gave it to us, absolutely not!"
Seeing this, Wang Tiedan pulled the leader who was talking out of the brigade headquarters and whispered, "Leader, I guess Brother Song told you who I am. Let me tell you a little secret. The truck from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill just took away more than a ton of meat from our village. Game!"
The leader's eyes suddenly widened.
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? Go back now and let your factory leaders block the gate. Maybe you can even pull down a few pigs. Aren't they more delicious than fish?
How much fish we can catch by then will be a matter of your leaders fighting with our factory leaders. We have no responsibility at all, right?"
Not only is he irresponsible, he can also be credited for telling people about the meat.
The leader was no fool. Arguing here would lead to no results, and the longer it took, the slimmer the hope of getting the meat. It would be better for him to leave now and inform the factory in time.
The leader patted Wang Tiedan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll trust you this time."
"Those guys, you are responsible for convincing them. You must also make it clear that you must not say that I leaked the information!"
"Do not worry!"
