Chapter 701 Buying Seafood in Tianjin 2
Although Lin Yu was nearly ten years younger than Li Huaide, he felt an invisible pressure from him, even greater than the feeling when facing his father-in-law. Moreover, every word Lin Yu said was for his own consideration, almost like a lecture.
Li Huaide said solemnly: "Think about your teachings, I will keep them in mind."
Lin Yu waved his hand indifferently: "Old Li, let's not be so distant between us. When I first came to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, when Song Jiefang and others deliberately ignored me, you were the only one who took the initiative to ask me about housing arrangements. I still remember it clearly."
Li Huaide said a little embarrassedly: "Advisor Lin, I was just doing my duty at the time. After all, I am the director of the logistics department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. The most important point is that Song Jiefang and the others all know about my father-in-law. Besides, I was just performing my duties. I looked down on the petty-mindedness of people like Song Jiefang, so I didn't care about their opinions at all."
Feeling that the atmosphere in the car was a bit serious, Lin Yu directly changed the subject: "Okay, these things are in the past, you just need to know about them. By the way, have you contacted Tianjin?"
Li Huaide smiled and replied: "I called a few old comrades and asked them to help find connections in Tianjin. However, due to the tight time schedule, they don't have any definite information yet. My father-in-law has called the city of Tianjin. If things don't go well here, we can go there and ask them for help."
Lin Yu nodded slightly: "There is no need to bother Jinmen City this time. Sun Yong's father used to be the deputy director of the Jinmen Municipal Bureau. Last night, I asked Lao Sun to help contact Jinmen Gutang Fishery Company. What I mean is that we can directly purchase a batch from Gutang Fishery Company and entrust them to help contact nearby fishermen. In addition to purchasing various seafood directly from the hands of fishermen, it is better to maintain a long-term supply with them. Although in the minds of ordinary people, sea fish can't be compared with pork at all, but in this case, being able to provide fish meat to the cadres and workers of the steel rolling mill every few days to improve the food is always more nutritious than stewing potatoes and cabbage in clear water. With your mind, I don't need to say more about how to operate it, right? Now you don't want to participate in the struggle between Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe, but consolidate the mass base. Instead of wasting energy on intrigue, it is better to strive for widespread recognition among grassroots cadres and workers."
Li Huaide heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He didn't expect that Lin Yu not only gave him a way out of the predicament, but also helped him contact the source of goods in Tianjin. If he couldn't seize the opportunity under such circumstances, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, the convoy had arrived at the gate of Jinmen Gutang Fishery Company. Sun Yong was the first to get off the car and walked towards the duty room at the gate.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a medium build, dark skin and wearing a blue Zhongshan suit followed Sun Yong out of the duty room, and the two walked directly towards Lin Yu's car.
Lin Yu and Li Huaide opened the door and got out of the jeep one after another. At this time, Sun Yong and the middle-aged man had already walked up to them.
Sun Yong introduced the two parties with a smile. The middle-aged man was Jin Yongshun, the manager of Gutang Fishery Company. He received a call from former Deputy Director Sun of the Tianjin Municipal Bureau last night and learned that this morning Lin Yu, special adviser to the State Council, and Li Huaide, deputy director of the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, would bring a convoy to Tianjin to purchase a batch of seafood. So he waited in the duty room at the gate of Gutang Fishery Company early in the morning, awaiting the distinguished guests from Beijing.
When Jin Yongshun heard from Sun Yong in person that the calm young man in front of him who looked less than 30 years old was actually Lin Yu, special adviser to the State Council, he was secretly shocked. If he had not known Sun Yong two years earlier and if Sun Yong's father had not been the deputy director of the Tianjin Municipal Bureau, Jin Yongshun would never have believed it.
It's just that Sun Yong and his son have always been talked about privately in the officialdom of Tianjin. You should know that on the eve of Tianjin being abolished as a municipality and downgraded, the superior competent department basically froze the personnel transfer of Tianjin cadres, but Sun Yong and his son were transferred directly to Beijing at an incredible speed. Deputy Director Sun made a gorgeous transformation to become the deputy director of the Beijing People's Armed Forces Department; and Sun Yong was transferred from the section chief of the Municipal Bureau's Security Brigade to the Security Department of the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, as an assistant secretary, and his administrative rank directly became deputy division level; Sun Yong's wife Lin Nan, the former junior section chief of the Tianjin Women's Federation, was transferred to the deputy director of the Beijing Dongcheng District Government Office, and her administrative rank was promoted to deputy division level; Sun Yong's mother-in-law, the former director of the Tianjin Dongxing Sub-district Office, was directly transferred to the secretary of the Beijing Dongcheng District Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, and her administrative rank was directly promoted from section level to division level.
The reason why all these incredible things happened was because of a name that was like a taboo in Tianjin's officialdom today. Yes, it was Lin Yu.
Last year, when Lin Yu's father Lin Pengcheng encountered enemy spies, he bravely pulled out his gun and fought back, killing two enemy spies on the spot and injuring one. Unfortunately, he was also shot and killed.
Originally, Deputy District Mayor Lin Pengcheng should have been posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr, and the relevant departments in Tianjin had already made the determination and directly notified the Tianjin Municipal Government. However, one of the main leaders of the city at the time, Deputy Secretary Fan, deliberately made things difficult, causing the martyr identification to be shelved.
To everyone's surprise, after Lin Yu drove from Beijing to Tianjin, he did not pay attention to the indifference in Tianjin City, but took people to carry the coffin to bury Lin Pengcheng. After dealing with the funeral, he took his mother, sister, brother-in-law, Lin Pengcheng's second wife and young son directly back to Beijing.
Just as Lin Yu was burying his father Lin Pengcheng, dozens of bodies of enemy spies were suddenly hung on the electric poles on both sides of the main road in front of the Tianjin Municipal Government.
It caused a great sensation in Tianjin at the time. What ordinary people didn't know was that Deputy Minister Yan from the relevant department in Beijing came to Tianjin in person and took charge. He not only arrested a large number of hidden enemy agents, but even the city's Deputy Secretary Fan was taken away for investigation and never returned to Tianjin. Soon afterward, all the leaders in Tianjin were criticized in letters from Beijing, and it was said that several major leaders were given demerits.
From then on, the name Lin Yu became a taboo in Tianjin's officialdom.
