Looking at the message on the BB phone,
Li Xiucheng looked calm and put it in his pocket.
After reaching an agreement with Zhao Xueyao, separate new departments have been established for the sales of hard maple and pine wood.
All shipments involved must go through Li Xiucheng's hands.
But Li Xiucheng couldn't stay at the forest farm every day, so he arranged for a few acquaintances to keep an eye on him at the forest farm.
All in all, these acquaintances only met once.
It was the wall painting workers that Li Xiucheng met when he ran into a wall and left at the forest farm that day.
Under Li Xiucheng's instruction, all distributors who purchased hard maple and pine wood agreed verbally, but in fact, they had to use various excuses to delay time.
Especially Shen Youliang.
"Xiucheng, it's almost time to set off."
Lu Pingnan was already waiting at the door on his motorcycle.
Li Xiucheng turned around and looked at Xiao Daguang next to him: "The fish has taken the bait. They should reply soon about the shipment. No matter what the price is, you can take it. However, the delivery time is scheduled for the morning of the day after tomorrow."
"real?"
Xiao Daguang was slightly stunned. Of course he knew that the fish Li Xiucheng was talking about was Shen Youliang, "Who told you?"
"I can tell fortunes, do you believe it?"
Li Xiucheng smiled lightly and didn't say anything more. He got on the motorcycle and drove away with Lu Pingnan.
During this period, Wu Jiagui was only busy with one thing
That is to have a good relationship with Zhou Yimin.
Zhou Yimin is the deputy director of the Shipping Department of the Dananjiang River Section.
After being introduced by Yang Wanming and Yao Jinshan a few days ago, Wu Jiagui and Zhou Yimin quickly got on the line.
Eat, drink and have fun every day, buy cigarettes and alcohol and give gifts, everything is available.
Finally, he fulfilled his mission and got acquainted with the relationship.
I made an appointment for Li Xiucheng to have a dinner at noon tomorrow.
The location is Wuhu City in neighboring province.
Although it is across provinces, the distance from Xingrong City is not as far as that from Jiang City.
Three o'clock in the afternoon,
Wu Jiagui picked up the two of them at the door of the hotel.
There was a time in the past when the railway network was not sufficiently developed.
Water transport is almost the mainstream of transportation.
However, since the gradual rise of railway transportation, the shipping industry on the Dananjiang River has been severely impacted.
The Dananjiang River is a tributary of the Yangtze River. Due to mudslides, landslides, etc. in some sections of the river, the width and depth of the river channel and the height of the road bridges have limited the cargo ships that can run on the Dananjiang River. The maximum tonnage limit is about 1,000 tons.
Moreover, large ships with a load capacity of 1,000 tons generally do not run this line.
Everyone went to float on the Yangtze River.
Therefore, transportation on the Yangtze River is still prosperous, while shipping on the Nanjiang River is already very depressed.
But the benefits are not without them.
The connection between shipping and the local government in this era was not close, and it was a bit of a school of its own.
After all, a river, even a tributary like the Danan River, passes through two or three provinces and ten cities, large and small.
As for the Yangtze River, let alone that.
Therefore, the main management of ships is the General Transportation Department, which has shipping departments for each river section.
The Shipping Department that now governs shipping in the Dananjiang section is located in Wuhu City.
In the past, the shipping department was naturally a poor job.
But nowadays, most transportation is done by rail, and due to the limited carrying capacity of the Dananjiang River and the lack of cargo, Zhou Yimin is also a deputy, so there is not much oil and water in this position.
Most of the time, I live on a monthly salary of sixty or seventy yuan.
Therefore, Wu Jiagui was able to win over this person in an important position for less than 2,000 yuan.
Repaired overnight.
At noon the next day,
In the highest hotel in Wuhu City, Li Xiucheng and Zhou Yimin met.
Looks close to fifty.
It is the age when there is no hope of promotion and people are waiting for retirement.
"Mr. Li, I have admired you for a long time. I have always mentioned you to me. You are a big entrepreneur. Today I saw you are younger and more promising than I thought!"
Zhou Yimin was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to chat with Li Xiucheng.
no way.
It sounds like he is a deputy director, but in fact, there is really no money to be made in Qingshui Yamen.
It's not easy to have a big boss, and I can't help but hang on.
Li Xiucheng also said politely: "Director Zhou, thank you for the award. Those of us who are self-employed envy leaders like you even more. It's a pity that our abilities are limited. I'm afraid I won't be able to reach a high official position like yours in this life."
"Hey, I've grown a few years old, so I call you brother. Brother, I'm so skinny and slick..."
When people reach middle age, they all have their own difficulties. After a few glasses of wine, Zhou Yimin began to talk about his past.
Li Xiucheng has never liked listening to other people's stories.
However, there is only one exception, that is, this person is useful to you.
After three rounds of drinking,
Zhou Yimin also talked a lot about his difficulties.
But the main thing mentioned in the back and forth is that he has a useless son who is in his early twenties and is still doing nothing.
But the shipping department can't arrange for anyone to come in.
He was a deputy in Qingshui Yamen, but he couldn't find a better job. He was about to retire, and his son still had no job.
Li Xiucheng is a sensible person,
When you say difficult things, you don't just want him to listen, but mainly to let him do it.
"Don't worry, Director Zhou. That friend of mine is absolutely reliable. Taoxian Hardware Factory is also a state-owned enterprise. The main thing is that Director Zhou doesn't dislike it."
"Don't mind it, don't hate it. The hardware factory is great. My son is weak. As long as he doesn't have to work hard, he can do it!"
"How can Director Zhou's son be arranged to do hard work? The last thing he has to do is sit in an office. When I get back, I will let my friend arrange it."
"Excuse me, brother, I'd like to give you a drink!"
Zhou Yimin is in a good mood. In his opinion, no matter what the factory is, as long as it is a state-owned enterprise, it is an iron rice bowl unit.
And for Li Xiucheng.
Three months later it will be time for the hardware factory to turn a profit, and a factory director as big as Chen Weiguo will not deny this honor.
It’s a small matter of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
11pm.
"Pingnan, take Director Zhou home, be sure to be safe on the way."
"Director Zhou, I'm not with you today. We'll get together another day. I'll ask you to trouble me about the other things that will happen in the next two days."
As Li Xiucheng spoke, he waved to Wu Jiagui.
Wu Jiagui quickly took out the two pieces of Chinese hidden behind his back and stuffed them into Zhou Yimin's hands.
"Brother, where did you go? This is all within the scope of my duties. I dare to engage in smuggling under the nose of the shipping department. Fortunately, I warned you. Otherwise, if the news spread, I don't know how big a trap it would be!"
"I'll send someone over tomorrow!"
Zhou Yimin said decisively.
………
"Boss, Director Zhou's son is famous for his idleness. It will be a lot of trouble for you to arrange work for him."
Wu Jiagui reminded.
"No matter how wild the donkey is, it only needs a few whips."
Li Xiucheng smiled and then said: "Jiagui, you don't have to go back to Xingrong this time. The bluestone slabs in Chang'an are almost finished. I will ask him to take the waterway directly and transport it to Taoxian Wharf. You first go to the dock and find a larger warehouse, where the accessories produced by the hardware factory will be assembled and shipped."
"OK!"
Wu Jiagui nodded.
Li Xiucheng paused and added: "Director Zhou did a good job this time. I will give you a salary increase when I get back."
Wu Jiagui smiled sheepishly: "The salary doesn't matter, anyway, I just feel that working with the boss now is very exciting!"
