Chapter 497 Back and forth
The next morning, Li Kailang packed his clothes and went to the steel mill.

After talking to Director Yang and receiving the task, he drove away and headed straight for Tianjin.

As soon as they left, a number of jeeps drove into the steel mill.

"Director Sun, Director Zhao, Director Qian, why are you all so sudden here?"

Director Yang welcomed the arrival of all the factory directors with a smile.

"Old Yang, long time no see. I just came here to see you. I'm different from them. I came here specifically to see you."

"Hey, Old Sun, what do you mean by that? You are making insinuations about us."

"Hey, that's not what I meant. Please don't say that."

A few old foxes expressed their purpose sincerely while joking.

But this cover-up was useless. Director Yang knew the purpose of their visit very well.

"Alright, forget it. I, Master Li, will not let him go. Just give up on this idea."

Their purpose was revealed, and they looked at each other, too lazy to pretend anymore.

"Old Yang, look at what you said. Legs are on people. It doesn't matter whether you let go or not. Find him and let us ask him. As long as he says he won't leave, we will leave without saying anything."

"Yes, let's meet, so that we can die peacefully and give an explanation to the shareholders."

"Want to see him?" Director Yang glanced at them and said, "I'm afraid we can't. Master Li is on a business trip and won't be back for at least three days."

"Lao Yang, what you did is not fair." Several factory managers immediately started to attack.

Director Yang slammed the table and stood up: "I am not honest? You are even more dishonest. You want to snatch people from me without paying anything. How can such a good thing happen?"

"Don't even think about it. Hurry up and leave. I have things to do, so I won't entertain you!"

"Wan Shen, show the guest away!"

After a few words, several factory managers had to leave in disgrace.

Since they are not in the factory and are sent out on business for a few days, why do they have to stay here? They can't afford to lose face.

"Humph, you think you can poach people from me? That's a good idea, but it's impossible to do such a good thing without paying anything."

Several factory managers were turned away, so they had to go back and give an explanation to the major shareholder.

These factory managers were able to come here because of the inducement of the major shareholders, and they also had their own intentions, which made this good thing happen.

For those wealthy people, they had only heard of Li Kailang but had never seen him before. But after meeting Li Kailang, they asked about his background.

"This guy is so young, but he can come up with inventions and earn foreign exchange. He makes money without doing anything. He is a great talent. I must recruit him and let him earn foreign exchange for me."

For these wealthy people and capitalists, foreign exchange is still an area they have never ventured into. It is very new and they want to get involved and try it out.

The reason they did this was because their shares in the city were gradually diluted, and by 65, they were just rich people with nothing else to their name.

Having enjoyed a high and mighty status, they cannot accept becoming ordinary wealthy people in a few years.

For these factory managers, Li Kailang can invent things, drive, and is a college student, which is a perfect match for their factory's professional expertise.

It would be great if we could recruit such talents into our own factory. Even if it fails, there would be no loss. If it succeeds, it would be even better.

Unfortunately, their plan was anticipated by Director Yang, who directly sent Li Kailang away.

at the same time.

Li Kailang was driving on the road.

"It's a big road, why aren't there any robbers or enemy agents making trouble? It would be so boring if we drove all the way there."

Li Kailang looked at both sides of the road, hoping that someone would come out to help him relieve his fatigue, but in the end, there was no one.

There wasn't even an accident, so it was just going to be a boring drive from now on.

"Oh, what a pity." Li Kailang sighed and could only drive in silence.

The robbers are hungry, so how can they have time to rob? They all work honestly to fill their stomachs.

With the two experiences, Li Kailang was familiar with the route, and since no one restricted the speed, he drove at lightning speed all the way.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the Jincheng Guesthouse, where we had stayed several times before.

"We're finally here. My back and waist were sore from driving all the way." Li Kailang got out of the car and stretched himself.

"It's still early, let me call Director Yang first." Li Kailang entered the guesthouse and borrowed a phone to call Director Yang back and report the situation.

"We're here. Okay, I get it. You've worked hard and you're tired. Go to bed early tonight. I've arranged everything for you. I'll call you later."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Director Yang."

"Just wait here. I'll call you right back and have someone come find you. That's all."

After hanging up the phone, Li Kailang stood there waiting for someone to come over.

After a while, a middle-aged man came over.

"Excuse me, are you Master Li from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill?"

"it's me."

"Hey, hello, Director Yang just called me. I have arranged everything for you. Please come with me."

The middle-aged man then led Li Kailang to the room where he would stay that day.

"I heard from Director Yang that you've been here twice. You're familiar with other things, so I won't go into details. Do you want to go to the warehouse to take a look at the machines?"

Li Kailang glanced at the sky. The sun was still hanging in the sky. It was still early. Besides, he was still energetic, so it would not hurt to go and take a look.

"Okay, let's take a look."

"Okay, follow me."

The middle-aged man took Li Kailang to the warehouse and saw the machines in the steel rolling mill.

A forging machine is used to forge steel to improve its physical properties and shape accuracy.

"A brand new forging equipment. The department actually gave it to us just like that?" Li Kailang murmured.

"The middle-aged man corrected: "It's not from the ministry, it's from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

"The steel mill's own? Impossible?"

As far as Li Kailang could remember, he had never seen such a grand steel rolling mill before, so he specially bought a new forging equipment.

Either they had to beg the ministry for a machine that was about 80% new, or they had to continue using the old one that had been patched up.

I have never seen a steel rolling mill spend its own money to buy a new one.

"Really? It was bought by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill with its own foreign exchange, and it just happened to be shipped here together with the machinery from the Ministry."

"Don't you know? Your Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is now the richest in foreign exchange among the metallurgical plants in the country. I heard that the First Steel Rolling Mill is only half as rich as you."

"Oh, really?" Li Kailang raised his eyebrows slightly. He had never heard of it.

"The machine has seen it. Do you want to check it out?" the middle-aged man suggested.

"Okay." Li Kailang took a quick look to make sure it was true.

Once it's confirmed, there's nothing to worry about.

The middle-aged man added, "By the way, take this certificate. Since you have read it, you can take the certificate and take the machine away tomorrow. I won't have to come."

"Okay, thank you for your help." After taking the certificate, the middle-aged man left.

Li Kailang did not stay long, and quickly left the warehouse, looking at the still clear sky. "It's not dark yet, let's go for a walk. I haven't been here for half a year, and I don't know if there have been any changes here."

Immediately, Li Kailang drove around and took a look.

After strolling around for a while, I found that there were no major changes in the city, and it was basically the same as the old city.

"It's a pity that I don't have a ticket, so I can't buy anything."

Li Kailang also went to the supply and marketing cooperative. He had seen most of the things there, but there were some small things he had never seen before. Unfortunately, he didn't have the tickets.

He wanted to buy some snacks, but he didn't have a ticket and the factory didn't give him a ticket in advance, so Li Kailang had to go back and collect his subsidy.

I wanted to find a ticket seller to buy a ticket, but there was no one there, so I had to go home disappointed.

Then, Li Kailang went to the beach to take a look.

The fishermen on the beach are all tanned, pale and thin, even thinner than the people in Tianjin.

Fishermen guard the sea but cannot eat seafood. Eating only seafood will make them hungrier and hungrier. Without fat to consume protein, they will starve to death.

"Comrade, do you want seafood? Just 1 cents, 1 cents, and the whole basket is all yours."

An old man saw Li Kailang coming to the beach and hurried over with a basket on his back to sell his goods.

The face is so dark, I don’t know if he is really an old man or just got aged by the sun.

Li Kailang looked at him, then looked at the seafood in the basket, all of which were common seafood.

"Okay, I want both baskets. Please deliver them to the car." Li Kailang nodded and gave the money to the old man.

"Thank you, thank you." The old man took the money excitedly, and hurriedly put the seafood into the carriage.

Then he came back to say goodbye to Li Kailang before leaving.

Looking at the endless sea, Li Kailang murmured: "Since I'm here, I have to buy some seafood to take back."

Over the past few years, the amount of seafood farmed in the planting space has increased rapidly. The surplus cannot be eaten up and has to be fed to chickens, ducks, geese and pigs.

"It's a good opportunity to change up the seafood in the growing space to avoid inbreeding and breeding problems in the future."

“By the way, we can also add some seafood that is not available in the planting space to enrich the species diversity.”

The few times I came to Tianjin to buy seafood before, I almost always bought the same kinds of seafood. Now it’s time to change the taste.

Li Kailang didn't want to go to the sea, so he went to other fishermen's homes to pick and choose, and selected several kinds of seafood that were not available in the planting space.

Regardless of whether they are edible or not, just buy some first. I even bought a lot of aquatic plants like seaweed.

"These can greatly enrich marine aquaculture without having to worry about inbreeding."

After such careful selection, it only cost me 1 dollar, which is very cheap.

There also jumped out some extremely large clams, with tiny pearls growing inside.

When talking about clams, we have to hear about the several large clams in marine aquaculture.

The largest one is 0.7 meters long and weighs about 100 kilograms, which is far less than the world's largest giant clam, which is 1 meter long and weighs 160 kilograms.

However, Li Kailang is still young, and considering the speed of time, it is only a dozen years. It is only a matter of time for him to catch up with the largest giant clam.

In addition, the pearls produced by this oyster are golden in color and about 15 cm in diameter, making them even more precious.

"Let's keep it for now, and wait until it grows up. As for the other pearls, since we are here, we might as well harvest them and string them together to send out."

"I gave one to my master's wife before, so I'll give one to my two sisters-in-law, and Director Wang as well, to keep in touch with them."

"I almost forgot. Aunt Cui is also going to give one."

There were a bunch of pearls in the planting space, but Li Kailang didn't give them away because he didn't have a suitable excuse.

Now that we are in Tianjin, we naturally have to be more thoughtful.

"Done, call it a day." Clapping his hands, Li Kailang drove back to the guesthouse.

Halfway through the journey, they collected a few baskets of seafood from the carriage and returned to the guesthouse.

In just a few hours, Li Kailang met all the people he was supposed to meet and did all the things he was supposed to do, and everything was fine.

the next day.

"Set off back."

In order to avoid any accidents with the forging equipment on the carriage, Li Kailang drove out his own GAZ-150.

There was nothing in the carriage, which did not affect Li Kailang's speed at all. He drove directly to 100 mph and returned faster than the speed to Jincheng.

We changed cars when we were almost there and arrived at the steel mill around 2:00 p.m.

"Director Yang, I have accomplished my mission and the forging equipment has been safely transported back to the steel rolling mill."

"Hahaha, thank you for your hard work. Drive the car to the warehouse and let them unload the equipment. Then you can go back and rest."

"By the way, I've brought you the allowance for this trip."

As he spoke, Director Yang took out an envelope and handed it to Li Kailang, "Open it and take a look."

Encouraged by Director Yang's eyes, Li Kailang opened the envelope and took out the contents.

It was a national food coupon weighing 1 kilogram and a 2 yuan allowance for going out.

"Director Yang, isn't this a bit against the rules? This is obviously beyond the limit, won't there be a problem?" Li Kailang asked tentatively.

Director Yang patted him on the shoulder and consoled him: "Don't worry, it's okay. These are all normal subsidies and there are no violations."

Seeing Director Yang's confident look, Li Kailang accepted it with peace of mind, "Thank you, Director Yang."

"You're welcome. With our relationship, there's no need to be so polite. Go and get busy. Rest early today. I'll approve your leave early."

"Thank you Director Yang!"

He had to be polite and after finishing his work, Li Kailang returned to the transport team.

He handed the national food coupons in the envelope to Lu Wenjiang, "Brother, take these food coupons."

"National food coupons! How did you get them? You can't get them now." Lu Wenjiang was shocked and waved his hands to refuse.

"Director Yang gave it to me. Take it. I don't need it." Li Kailang stuffed it into his hand.

"How can this be good? My family is not short of food."

"Are you short of food and oil? If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your sister-in-law and the children. They all need nutrition."

When it comes to this, Lu Wenjiang finds it hard to refuse.

Food coupons across the country can be exchanged for oil, and everyone is short of oil.

"Okay, thank you."

"We are not strangers, why are you being so polite?"

Li Kailang waved his hand and went to wash the car.

The trucks were extremely dirty from going in and out of various muddy roads and needed to be thoroughly cleaned.

As tomorrow is the weekend, I will clean the cab as well.

Seeing this, Lu Wenjiang on the side hurriedly stepped in: "Hey, Xiao Li, I can do it. You should go and have a rest. You've been tired all day. I can do it."

"Okay, please."
