Chapter 681 Small Yellow Croaker Transaction!

Chapter 681 Small Yellow Croaker Transaction!
After Jia Dongming hung up the phone with Li Huaide, thinking about the information that Li Huaide inadvertently revealed and the case he was handling at hand, Jia Dongming's brows furrowed tightly and he soon fell into deep thought.

Based on the situation introduced by Li Huaide, Jia Dongming estimated that in order to ensure that the workers had enough food, the factories in Sijiu City had used the quota of fine grains to exchange for coarse grains with the grain stations over the years. According to the exchange ratio mentioned by Li Huaide, Jia Dongming estimated that the people in the grain stations had made a lot of money from it over the years. This made Jia Dongming feel vaguely that after further investigation, this case might not be just a case of a district grain station.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jia Dongming reached out and pressed the phone on the desk. He shook the handle vigorously for a few times, then picked up the receiver and said politely, "Hello! This is the Security Department of the Steel Rolling Mill. Please help me transfer to the Municipal Disciplinary Department, Section 1!"

"Hello! This is a number. Who are you looking for?" The call was connected quickly. Before Jia Dongming had time to speak, a female comrade's voice came from the phone.

When Jia Dongming heard the inquiry coming from the phone, he immediately smiled and greeted, "Comrade! Hello! Excuse me, is Director Zheng here? I have something to ask him. Can you please ask him to answer the phone?"

The female comrade who answered the phone heard Jia Dongming's answer and immediately replied politely: "Comrade! Hello! Deputy Director Zheng just went out to report to the leader. If you have anything to ask him, you can tell me. When Deputy Director Zheng comes back, I will help you pass it on."

When Jia Dongming learned that Zheng Jie was not in the office, he could only answer tactfully: "Comrade! My last name is Jia, and I am the director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. When Director Zheng comes back, please ask him to call me back."

The female comrade who answered the phone heard Jia Dongming's self-introduction and immediately replied with a smile: "Director Jia! Please wait a moment. I will take a note. When Deputy Director Zheng comes back, I will help you pass on the message."

"Director! I'm here!" Just as the female comrade who answered the phone was taking out a pen to register, Zhang Guoping walked into Jia Dongming's office from outside and greeted Jia Dongming respectfully.

Jia Dongming saw Zhang Guoping walking into the office from outside, pointed to the chair opposite his desk, and said to the female comrade who answered the phone: "Comrade! Thank you for your help. When Director Zheng comes back, remember to tell him that I have something very important to discuss with him. Ask him to call me back."

The female comrade who answered the phone immediately responded enthusiastically after hearing what Jia Dongming said: "Director Jia! Please rest assured. I will definitely convey your message to Deputy Director Zheng when he returns from his work report."

After hearing the other party's answer, Jia Dongming quickly thanked the other party and hung up the phone. Then he took out the key of the courtyard from his pocket and said to Zhang Guoping with a smile: "Guoping! This is the key to Gulou East Street. My friends have already transported the welfare we need to the courtyard over there. You take the key to the courtyard to count the supplies, and then notify the comrades in the office to go there to collect the Mid-Autumn Festival welfare."

Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's instructions and saw the keys Jia Dongming had left on his desk. He immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Director! How should the price of these materials be settled?"

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Guoping asking about the price of the materials, he smiled and said to Zhang Guoping, "It's the same as before. Also, remember to remind the comrades in the department that the information about how much benefits we distribute should not be spread outside. After all, the steel mill will also give us a share of the benefits. If we give more than that, it would be against the rules."

Zhang Guoping naturally understood the importance of this after hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, and quickly promised Jia Dongming: "Director! Don't worry, I have already informed the heads of several departments."

After hearing Zhang Guoping's promise, Jia Dongming nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhang Guoping with a smile, "Guoping! Then you can take the comrades from the logistics department to the courtyard on the other side of Gulou East Road to count the supplies. As for the money for the supplies, after you count them, just send them directly to my office."

Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's instructions, happily picked up the key that Jia Dongming had left on his desk, and walked out of the office. After watching Zhang Guoping leave, Jia Dongming thought of Li Huaide who was still waiting for news, so he picked up the intercom on his desk and prepared to call Li Huaide.

"Hello! I'm Li Huaide. Who is this?" The call was connected quickly. Before Jia Dongming had time to speak, Li Huaide's anxious voice came from the phone.

Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's anxious question and said to him with a smile: "Director Li! I'm Jia Dongming. I've already asked what you asked me to ask."

"Director Jia! Does your friend have the food I need?" Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's answer and immediately asked Jia Dongming impatiently.

Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's question and said to him with a smile, "Director Li! Two tons of Fuqiang flour, plus 500 kilograms of pork and 200 kilograms of beef. The price will be increased by 40% according to the market price, but it needs to be settled with small yellow croaker or large yellow croaker."

When Li Huaide heard the quantity of materials reported by Jia Dongming, he was immediately ecstatic. But when he heard Jia Dongming say that they needed to use small yellow croakers for settlement, the smile on his face was immediately replaced by depression. He asked Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Can we only use small yellow croakers for settlement? You know the situation in our factory. If we want to use small yellow croakers for settlement, I'm afraid we need to hold a meeting to discuss it."

Over the past year, Jia Dongming has stored more than 100,000 yuan in the system space by reselling supplies. In this era when purchasing things requires receipts, Jia Dongming has no way to spend this money, so Jia Dongming decided to use small yellow croaker to settle the cost of supplies.

Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's answer and felt the other party's embarrassment. He smiled and said to Li Huaide: "Director Li! It's not that I won't help you, but my friend said that when we take our money to Hong Kong, the merchants there don't recognize it at all, so they asked to use small yellow croaker for settlement."

Li Huaide was originally curious about where Jia Dongming's friend got so many supplies, and they were all high-quality supplies. Now hearing Jia Dongming mention Hong Kong, Li Huaide instinctively thought that the supplies sold by Jia Dongming's mysterious friend were all from Hong Kong.

Thinking of the benefits of the steel mill during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Huaide pondered for a moment and then replied, "Director Jia! Since your friend proposed to trade with small yellow croaker, I will report to the factory director first and then give you a reply."

After hearing Li Huaide's answer, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! Actually, I tried to help you, but my friend refused to release me and complained to me over the phone."

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

Before Jia Dongming could finish his words, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

Li Huaide, who was on the other end of the phone, heard the ringing tone coming from the receiver and said to Jia Dongming with a smile: "Director Jia! I understand your difficulties very well. I will go to the factory director to apply now, and then call you back."
