Chapter 699 Coming up with ideas
Time passed slowly and unnoticed. When sporadic snowflakes began to fall in the capital, Li Huaide, deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, walked into the secretary's office of the training base.
Su Yu, who was more than four months pregnant at this time, had already been ordered by Lin Yu to stay in her own office obediently. Now Sun Yong, the assistant secretary, was responsible for all the major and minor matters in the secretary's office.
Seeing Li Huaide's frown, Lin Yu pointed to the sofa opposite and said with a smile: "Director Li, don't be so sad. If you have any troubles, please tell us and let us have a good laugh."
Sun Yong, who was pouring tea for Li Huaide, gritted his teeth and tried hard not to laugh out loud. He quickly placed the cup on the coffee table in front of Li Huaide and walked out of the office quickly. He was really afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would not be able to help laughing out loud.
Li Huaide smiled bitterly and sighed: "I came to you for help right after the meeting. To be honest, in the past few months, the meat processing plant has reduced the supply of pork. This month, there are only 5,000 kilograms of pork. On average, each worker has less than half a kilogram. Now all the workshops in the steel rolling mill are working overtime to strive to exceed the task indicators of their superiors. Although the food in the factory can still guarantee daily supply, the workers are really a little bit overwhelmed by the lack of meat to replenish their physical strength for a long time. Today, Secretary Chang called Director Liu and me and Deputy Director Xue to a meeting, just to try to get some meat to improve the meals for the majority of workers, but in the end, everyone didn't have any good ideas. The department can only provide a little extra food now, but there is not a kilogram of pork. I ran to you after leaving Secretary Chang's office. You know, I am the deputy director in charge of logistics supply. Others have excuses to shirk, but I don't have any excuses at all."
Lin Yu looked at Li Huaide's hopeful eyes opposite him and sighed helplessly. To be honest, in the original drama of "Love in the Courtyard", although Li Huaide in front of him was greedy for money and lustful, he had to admit that this guy really didn't do anything bad that would anger God and people. He really did things for the money he took, which was much better than some guys in later generations who only knew how to make money but didn't do their job. Even the factory director Yang who had always been at odds with him, after he was defeated by him as the director of GWH, he only sent him to clean the toilet instead of killing him. As for his dealings with Liu Lan in the kitchen, it was actually not a big deal, otherwise Li Huaide would not have landed safely after the movement ended, and would have been able to freely go into business and become a big boss.
The most important thing is that during the years when Li Huaide was the top leader, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was able to maintain normal production and completed the tasks assigned by superiors every year.
However, Lin Yu could not give in for Li Huaide. In recent times, many people have found this place through various connections, hoping to get food and meat from the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, but they were all directly rejected by Lin Yu.
Looking at Li Huaide's pitiful appearance, although he knew that the other party was deliberately trying to make himself miserable, Lin Yu still planned to help him.
Lin Yu reached out and picked up the cigarette on the desk, took out one and threw it to the other party, then restrained his smile and slowly said: "Lao Li, according to the relationship between us, I should help you no matter what, but you should also know that many people are eyeing me now. To be honest, at least more than a dozen units have found me through various connections recently, but I rejected them all. After all, there is a shortage of food and meat everywhere. Even if I have more supplies here, it can't meet such a large gap."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Li Huaide's hope gradually faded. Just now in Secretary Chang's office, it was the other party who mentioned the suggestion of getting some meat from the Security Department again. This guy knew that he had no face in front of Lin Yu, so he asked Li Huaide to come forward. Although Director Liu and Deputy Director Xue did not express their opinions directly, it was not difficult to see from their expressions that they both meant the same thing.
As the deputy factory director in charge of logistics supply, Li Huaide certainly could not refuse Secretary Chang's proposal, so he came directly after the meeting.
Li Huaide had no doubt about Lin Yu's words. In fact, someone had found him and hoped that he could help to contact them, but he refused at that time. The meat supply here was tight, and he had been running around with gritted teeth, but he did not ask Lin Yu for help. Li Huaide was of course clear that since Lin Yu stopped supplying to Jingcheng, he had not given any unit or department a pound of grain and meat. He did not want the relationship between them to be affected by official business.
Li Huaide smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that you are in a difficult situation here, so I just came here to go through the motions today. After all, Secretary Chang brought it up at the office meeting, and as the deputy director in charge of logistics and supply, I cannot refuse."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Old Li, let's not explain it to each other. Although it's not easy for me to give you this excuse, I do have a way."
Li Huaide's eyes widened immediately: "What way?"
Lin Yu took a puff of his cigarette before speaking: "Although pork is in short supply right now, you can definitely get some fish back to improve the food for the workers."
Li Huaide smiled bitterly and said, "I sent all the buyers in the purchasing department out, and even sent people to Shichahai to buy all kinds of fish directly from those fishermen. But every day, there are only a few dozen kilograms of fish. For nearly 10,000 workers in our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, such a small amount of fish is not even enough to make soup."
Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not asking you to buy fish from those fishermen in Beijing. You are smart all your life but confused for a moment. Don't forget how far we are from the Tianjin coast. The steel mill is not without trucks. You can send someone to drive directly to Tianjin to buy sea fish. As far as I know, due to the inconvenience of transportation, the fishermen in Tianjin go to the sea to catch fish. Only some big fish are purchased by the purchasing stations and fishery companies. The smaller fish can only be distributed to the members, but there are too many. The fishermen on the coast use most of them to feed chickens and pigs besides eating them themselves."
Li Huaide suddenly realized. He slapped his thigh heavily and said excitedly, "Yes, our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has the right to purchase independently. We can directly purchase various marine fish from those fishing villages on the coast. After all, fish is also meat. I will go back and arrange a vehicle and personally lead people to Tianjin every day."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to take charge of your security and protection, and also buy some sea fish to improve your meals."
