Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 152: At least twenty times the profit (first update)
Two minutes later, the deaf old lady left Deputy Director Li's office with a complicated expression.

What they didn't expect was that as soon as the two men left, Wang Dong and Director Zhou from the kitchen were called into the office.

Deputy Director Li did not hide anything and said straight to the point: "Just now, He Yuzhu's grandmother and Yi Zhonghai from the first workshop came to me to plead for him, hoping that the steel rolling mill would give He Yuzhu a lighter punishment..."

"I didn't want to agree to it!"

"But I didn't expect that He Yuzhu's grandmother's family background was more substantial than I thought. She just offered a few hundred yuan and a few small yellow croakers!"

"Plus, they also went to see Director Yang, and I couldn't go against him at the factory meeting because of this matter. After all, he is the director of the steel mill!"

"It won't be good for me if it gets out!"

"So the steel mill's punishment for He Yuzhu is definitely not as severe as you think!"

After saying that, he took out a small yellow croaker and two hundred yuan from the drawer.

"This is part of the price He Yuzhu paid for a lighter sentence!"

"If it weren't for you two last night, He Yuzhu wouldn't have been caught by the security department, and there wouldn't be such a big surprise waiting for us this morning!"

"You two can divide it among yourselves, and I'll take the rest!"

Wang Dong never thought of killing He Yuzhu with one blow.

If He Yuzhu was really kicked out of the steel mill, the original plot of "Siheyuan" would definitely change, and many memories in his mind would become useless in the days to come.

In that case, it would be better to leave He Yuzhu in the steel mill to have some fun.

Anyway, he had the development process of the steel mill in the next 10 to 20 years in his mind, so he was not afraid of He Yuzhu making another move.

With the temptation of small yellow croakers and two hundred yuan on the table, he could not refuse Deputy Director Li's proposal.

He reached out and took two hundred yuan from it and said, "Director..."

"My family is in financial difficulty... I don't earn much, and I'm short of money, so I'll just take the two hundred yuan..."

"I have no use for something as precious as the yellow croaker, so I'll give it to the director!"

Deputy Director Li looked at Wang Dong with admiration.

The value of the small yellow croaker is far more than two hundred yuan. Wang Dong took the initiative to give up the small yellow croaker, which shows that he is a person who is not greedy for credit and knows when to advance and retreat.

Director Zhou also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

The fact that Wang Dong gave the lion's share of the benefits to me showed that he was a grateful person and it was worth it for me to be so nice to him.

Seeing that both leaders were looking at him with smiles on their faces, Wang Dong knew that he had made the right choice.

Then he showed an embarrassed expression and said: "Two leaders..."

"I need your help with something else!"

"Supplies in the city are becoming increasingly scarce!"

"Now even the food supply is becoming less and less, and the proportion of coarse grains in the rations is getting higher and higher!"

"You know my family..."

"Either they are elderly people who have been injured, or they are children who are in school."

"If you eat whole grains for a long time, your body will definitely not be able to bear it, and it may even aggravate your injuries due to malnutrition!"

"I wonder if you can help me exchange these two hundred yuan for flour!"

"Just exchange it according to the price in Pigeon Market!"

"If the two leaders don't help, I may not be able to buy food even if I have the money!"

There is a shortage of supplies in the city of Sijiu, but this is only for ordinary people. Cadres like Director Zhou certainly have no shortage of food.

According to the policy, their monthly grain supply, meat coupons, grain coupons, oil coupons... were more than twice that of ordinary people.

Moreover, they were in charge of the logistics of the steel mill. Every day, 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of food, various pork, and vegetables passed through their hands. Even a little bit that leaked through the cracks of their fingernails was enough for many people to eat. Otherwise, where would Director Li get so much money to invest in building a factory after he left the steel mill?

The factory director's monthly salary is just over 100 yuan, which is only 2,000 yuan a year without food or drink. In 20 years, the total is only 40,000 yuan, which is not even a fraction of the investment in building the factory.

Because of these reasons, Wang Dong believed that they must have channels to help him get food.

Maybe they have a lot of food hidden in their hands.

Of course, there was another reason why Wang Dong asked them to help buy food!
Many times, people can only be bound together by interests if they help each other and have give-and-take.

If you keep giving, both parties will definitely drift apart.

Deputy Director Li will be the boss of the steel rolling mill for the next twenty years. Following him not only can you eat meat and drink soup, but also avoid various troubles.

As long as it doesn't violate the principles and doesn't break the law, Wang Dong will cling to this thigh no matter what.

Seeing Deputy Factory Director Li nodded, Director Tang of Logistics immediately responded: "Wang Dong..."

"You really found the right person for this matter!"

"Deputy Director Li and I go out every day to purchase food for the steel mill, and we actually have quite a few channels to buy food..."

“It’s just that food is a little expensive now!”

"According to the current grain prices in Pigeon City, two hundred yuan can buy at most five hundred and fifty kilograms of flour..."

"I'll try to find a way to buy you 600 kilograms of flour..."

"Wait until I buy the food for you and then decide where to get it!"

Wang Dong knew that they had food, but he didn't expect them to be so generous and give him so much food.

The retail price of white flour in Pigeon Market has tripled to 50 cents per pound.

I originally thought that it would be good enough to be able to exchange 400 kilograms of flour for 200 yuan, but I didn't expect that they would give me 600 kilograms directly. This was definitely a pleasant surprise.

He immediately said with an excited smile: "Thank you, leader... Thank you so much..."

"With this white flour... our family will have enough white flour to eat for at least the next two years!"

The reason why Director Zhou and Deputy Director Li gave Wang Dong so much flour was not because they did not know the price of flour in Pigeon City.

It’s because they have too much flour on hand, and they sell it in batches each time, which is equivalent to wholesale, and the price is definitely much lower than retail.

In addition, they also wanted to give Wang Dong some benefits and tie him completely to their chariot. After some analysis, they reported the number of 600 kilograms.

Wang Dong didn't know this and didn't want to know.

There was only one thought in his mind now.

How much money can I make from these 600 kilograms of flour in one or two years?

Nowadays, the retail price of white flour in Pigeon City has increased three times.

But the shortage of supplies had just begun. When it reached the final stage one or two years later, the price of flour in the pigeon market increased by at least twenty times, and there was still no demand.

Those most affected are the unemployed elderly and young people.

They had been used to a good life, but suddenly they couldn't even get cornmeal to eat. They would definitely buy food at any price.

Maybe by that time, the 30 kilograms of grain we have now can be exchanged for a small yellow croaker from them.

It’s easy to exchange 600 kilograms of white flour for 20 small yellow croakers.

Of course, if you can exchange them for some antiques of better value, which can easily become worth sky-high prices after thirty or forty years, you can make more money.
