Chapter 680 Unexpected clues!
Jia Dongming heard the phone ringing, looked at the ringing internal phone on his desk, and said to Wang Haibo, who had not yet left the office, with a smile: "Comrade Haibo! Do you believe it? If I'm not mistaken, this call should be from our Factory Director Li."

Wang Haibo heard what Jia Dongming said and said to him with a smile: "Director! It seems that our Deputy Director Li must have something important to talk to you about, otherwise he wouldn't have called you right after you arrived at the office."

After hearing Wang Haibo's answer, Jia Dongming quickly walked to the desk, reached out and picked up the internal phone on the desk, and asked politely: "Hello! I'm Jia Dongming, who is this?"

"My great Director Jia! You are finally back. Do you know that I have been looking for you for the whole day?" As soon as Jia Dongming finished asking, Li Huaide's extremely resentful voice came from the phone.

When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's complaints, he pretended to be confused and said, "Our Director Li! I was busy at the Municipal Bureau all day and almost forgot to eat lunch. I just returned to the office and heard Comrade Haibo say that you called me. But before I even sat down, you called me. You are so anxious to find me. Don't you have any instructions?"

When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's answer and thought about the benefits of the steel mill during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he said to Jia Dongming with a depressed look on his face: "Director Jia! The situation is like this. We originally agreed with the district grain station to allocate three tons of flour to us this month, specifically for the benefits of the factory employees. As a result, the district grain station called me this morning and said that there was only one ton of flour, and the difference could only be replaced by coarse grains."

"If the news of the factory distributing welfare had not spread, one ton would be fine. The problem is that the workers in the factory now know that each person can get five kilograms of white flour for the Mid-Autumn Festival. As a result, at this critical moment, the factory can't come up with that much white flour. If this gets out, I, the deputy director in charge, will be scolded to death by our workers."

In order to investigate Liu Jiangping's case, Jia Dongming specifically looked up some information related to the operation of the grain station. He learned that the quota for each unit was fixed, and the grain station had agreed to prepare three tons of flour, but now it could not provide three tons of flour. This was obviously a problem.

Thinking of the case he was currently in charge of, Jia Dongming immediately asked Li Huaide: "Director Li! Has something like this happened often before? Why didn't you prepare in advance?"

When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's question, he didn't think much about it and immediately introduced to Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! Our factory's monthly quota of fine grains is three tons. In the past, because there were many people in the factory and we were worried that the workers would not have enough to eat, we would take out two tons of fine grains and exchange them for coarse grains from the grain station, so that we could have enough food to supply the canteen."

"Considering that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, in order to let the factory workers have a happy reunion festival, I communicated with the grain station last month and decided not to exchange coarse grains this month. I asked them to prepare the fine grains for our factory. When the time comes, we will send a truck to the grain station to transport the fine grains."

"This morning, the comrades from the logistics department took two trucks from the fleet to the district grain station to pick up grain. When we got there, we learned that there was not enough fine grain. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, I have no other choice but to call you. I hope you can help me think of a solution."

After hearing what Li Huaide said, Jia Dongming felt that the case at the FT District Grain Station was probably related to what happened at the Dongcheng District Grain Station. Otherwise, why couldn't the Dongcheng District Grain Station provide three tons of fine grain when the steel mill had already informed them in advance? With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming curiously asked Li Huaide, "Director Li! When our steel mill exchanges coarse grain with the grain station, what is the ratio on a daily basis?"

When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming suddenly ask about the ratio of coarse grains, he was obviously stunned. He asked Jia Dongming curiously: "Director Jia! Because the grain supply was tight in the past few years, our factory exchanged grain with the grain station at a ratio of 1:2.5. But why are you suddenly interested in this question?"

After hearing what Li Huaide introduced and thinking about the exchange rate between coarse grains and fine grains on the black market, Jia Dongming could guess without much thought that the case they were investigating was most likely a shocking large-scale case.

Facing Li Huaide's question, Jia Dongming smiled and evaded the question, "Director Li! It's nothing. I'm just curious. They said everything was fine at the beginning, why did the grain station suddenly change its mind? After all, the factory's quota is fixed. How could the grain station suddenly not be able to provide so much fine grain?"

When Li Huaide heard the problem mentioned by Jia Dongming and thought of the reply given by the grain station chief, he said to Jia Dongming with a depressed face: "Director Jia! You don't know that in the past few years, food was in short supply. Most of the factories in our district exchanged fine grains for coarse grains with the grain station. In order to gather enough food, the grain station applied to the superior grain depot for a quantity of coarse grain that far exceeded the quantity of fine grains. When we called the grain station and asked for fine grains, our factory's quota for this month had already been exchanged for coarse grains, so the grain station couldn't provide that much fine grains."

After hearing what Li Huaide said, Jia Dongming was more certain of his guess. He then changed the subject and asked Li Huaide with a smile, "Director Li! How much is the shortage of fine grains in the factory?"

When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming asking about the food shortage, Jia Dongming immediately diverted his attention and said to Jia Dongming with a smile: "Director Jia! The shortage of fine grains is two tons. Of course, if you can get some more pork, that would be great."

After hearing Li Huaide's answer, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! Two tons of fine grains should be no problem. As for meat, I'll have to call and ask first."

Li Huaide, who was on the other end of the phone, was relieved to learn that the two tons of fine grains were no problem. He said to Jia Dongming with gratitude, "Director Jia! I'll leave my brother's matter to you."

Jia Dongming couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Huaide's answer. He said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! Look at what you said. Is it necessary for us to be so polite? I'll call and ask for you now. I'll call you back when I have some news."
