Chapter 705 Return
Before leaving the Tianjin Martyrs Cemetery, Lin Yu left all the fruits and meats to the old man in the duty room at the gate. He also left him two bags of flour and two bags of rice, as well as some cigarettes, alcohol and daily necessities, which could be regarded as a token of his appreciation to the old soldier.
When the three jeeps returned to Gutang Fishery Company, all the purchased seafood had been loaded onto the trucks. Fortunately, it was a cold season, so these frozen sea fish and large prawns were simply wrapped in sacks and stacked directly in the truck trunk.
As soon as Lin Yu got off the jeep, Guan Dajiang walked over quickly and whispered, "Secretary, Manager Jin of Gutang Fishery Company gave us and the steel mill a lot of extra sea cucumbers, abalone, and scallops. What do you think we should do?"
Lin Yu certainly understood what Manager Jin meant. These were gifts given privately by Gutang Fishery Company. They did not appear on the purchase list. They were just for the handling personnel to handle various relationships after they returned.
So Lin Yu smiled and asked, "What does Deputy Director Li mean?"
Guan Dajiang scratched his head. He was not stupid, so how could he not understand what Gutang Fishery Company meant? However, he came here with Secretary Lin, so he still had to listen to the Secretary's instructions. He smiled bitterly and said, "Deputy Director Li didn't say anything, but asked someone to load those things on a separate truck."
Lin Yu nodded slightly, turned around and told Sun Yong, "Go ask Zhou Hong for six packs of Camel cigarettes and deliver them directly to Manager Jin. We'll prepare to return to Beijing right away."
Under the eager gaze of Manager Jin Yongshun and several other cadres of Gutang Fishery Company, the convoy consisting of three jeeps and twelve trucks slowly drove away.
Today was a fruitful day for the Gutang Fishery Company. Not only did it sell 65 tons of various marine fish and large prawns at unplanned prices at one time, with a total transaction amount of 50,600 yuan, the company made a profit of more than 10,000 yuan from this transaction alone. This year, the company will be able to give more benefits to the company's cadres and employees during the Chinese New Year. It will not be like last year, when they only gave everyone a few fish and a few pounds of large prawns. To be honest, for the cadres and employees of the Gutang Fishery Company, they eat fish and shrimps in the cafeteria almost every day at noon, and they have definitely had enough. Now that they have more than 10,000 yuan of unplanned income, they can buy some chickens, ducks, pork and flour as benefits for the cadres and employees.
Gutang Fishery Company also formally signed a three-year supply contract with Beijing Red Star Steel Mill. According to the contract, Gutang Fishery Company will supply Red Star Steel Mill with 30 tons of marine fish every month. Of course, the price is still implemented according to the plan. This contract alone can ensure that Gutang Fishery Company will live a rich life in the next three years.
As for the sea cucumbers, abalone and scallops presented to the Red Star Steel Mill and the Security Department in Beijing, they were part of normal business entertainment and were of course reimbursed by the company. In addition, Consultant Lin left six cartons of Camel cigarettes, and Deputy Director Li of the Red Star Steel Mill also gave four cartons of Peony cigarettes and two pieces of cloth as return gifts. These things were distributed privately among the cadres present.
In order to ensure the safety of the goods on the truck, each truck is equipped with two armed security team members in addition to the two drivers. The comrades from the logistics department can only sit in the truck compartment, wrapped in thick military coats, guarding sacks full of seafood.
Nowadays, most long-distance drivers carry weapons. Even so, we often hear about drivers meeting with accidents or having their cargo looted.
When returning to Beijing, Li Huaide of course got directly into Lin Yu's car. With such a comfortable jeep to ride in, he was not stupid enough to suffer in a truck that could make a person's intestines pop out.
Li Huaide leaned back in his chair comfortably, smoking and whispering, "Advisor Lin, I asked them to load the sea cucumbers, abalone and scallops given by Gutang Fishery Company on your security department's truck. They gave me a total of 30 kilograms of sea cucumbers, 100 kilograms of abalone and 200 kilograms of scallops. I don't plan to give these things back to Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe and the others. Unload them directly to your training base warehouse. Leave me 10 kilograms of sea cucumbers, 40 kilograms of abalone and 60 kilograms of scallops. I have to send them to my father-in-law."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "We will share these things in half. You still have to deal with some relationships outside. If you need any gifts, just go to Sun Yong. I have some imported milk powder, chocolates, and candies. Just give him a list of what you need."
Li Huaide was not going to be polite with Lin Yu, so he said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll take advantage of the New Year to visit a few comrades and leaders who have a good relationship with me. By the way, one of my comrades works in a cotton mill. I got a batch of defective cloth from him some time ago. Does your security department want it?"
Lin Yu nodded: "If you have any extra, give some to the Security Department and distribute it to the comrades below."
Li Huaide waved his hand nonchalantly, "I used some unplanned steel produced by the steel mill to exchange for 200 bolts of so-called defective cloth from the cotton mill through my old comrades. I can give 60 bolts to the Security Department. When I return, I can ask them to go directly to the logistics department of the steel mill to get it."
The convoy drove quickly towards the capital in the cold wind. It only stopped for half an hour to rest at noon. Everyone ate some steamed buns prepared in advance to fill their stomachs. Lin Yu told everyone that they should go to the canteen of the Security Department Training Base to have a good meal after returning.
For the drivers of the four light trucks of the Security Department, unless they are on a mission, they eat in the canteen of the training base almost every day. They have two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish every day, and as for steamed buns and rice, they are plentiful. The canteen of the Security Department's training base has clear regulations that no one is allowed to bring in food. To eat in the canteen, each person only needs one vegetable ticket and one meal ticket for each meal. The food is sufficient, but waste is strictly prohibited.
The drivers and logistics staff of the steel rolling mill had already heard about the food quality of the canteen at the training base. Now, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill only has four to five thousand kilograms of pork supplied each month. Every time the canteen supplies so-called meat dishes, only a little bit of minced meat can be seen in everyone's lunch box. There is no other way. Tens of thousands of people can only be supplied with such a small amount of pork each month, which averages out to less than three or four taels per person.
I heard that the canteen at the Security Department Training Base has two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish every day, and they are pork and beef respectively. Many workers at the steel mill complained privately.
