In the blink of an eye, two days later.
Xingrong City Old Wharf.
It has been raining lightly these past two days, and when it gets bright, some mist is floating on the river.
A cargo ship took advantage of the first ray of morning light and slowly approached the dock.
Thirty loads of hard maple and pine wood were covered with tape on the cargo ship. Shen Youliang's fortune was almost emptied out of this batch of cargo.
After the ship docked.
Two people got off the boat. One was an old accountant under Shen Youliang. He was covered in a raincoat and hiding in the back.
The other one is an old watch who runs boats.
"Where are the people?"
"Cousin, where is Xiao Daguang?"
The old boatman looked around for a moment, but the consignee was nowhere to be seen.
"Don't worry, I guess there's something that delayed me. Just wait."
The old accountant nodded, not wanting others to recognize him, and took out a box of Hongtashan from his pocket: "Smoke a cigarette first."
Snapped!
Just when the lighter was lit.
Wow~! Suddenly, an inspection ship from the Shipping Department suddenly appeared from the river.
"People on the cargo ship in front, stand still, we are the inspection team of the Shipping Department!"
Listen to the trumpet sound,
The old sailor and the old accountant were so frightened that their legs went weak. Without saying a word, they threw away their cigarette butts and ran away.
These days, ordinary people have a kind of reverence for officialdom from the bottom of their hearts.
Several boatmen on the ship were hired on a temporary basis, and when they saw the uniformed inspection team, they were frightened to death.
Plop! Plop!
As waves of water rose, several boatmen jumped into the water and ran away.
The people from the inspection team did not chase him. As long as they caught the boat, the monks could escape but not the temple.
A group of people went up and lifted the tape and took a look at the piles of wood inside. Then the leader said: "The goods are sealed."
…
"What! How could this happen???"
Shen Youliang of the lumber factory had his feet up, waiting to count the money today. It was five times the market price. He couldn't even think about the oil and water involved.
But after waiting for a long time, the news came that all the goods had been seized by the shipping department's inspection team.
"Director, we don't know what's going on, but the inspection ship is coming just now..."
The old accountant is still worried.
If my cousin and I hadn't reacted quickly and ran away, we would have been caught on the spot.
Although the investigation of speculation has become less strict in the past two years, after all, it is wood from state-owned forest farms, and it is resold privately, which adds to the crime.
"Didn't you promise that there will be no problem? Tell me! What should I do now!!"
Shen Youliang felt his legs were weak, and he was now worried about more than just thirty carts of hard maple and pine wood.
But if this matter is traced to him, he will be jailed.
The old accountant said tremblingly: "Director, if you ask me, I don't know... Now if you want me to tell you, I have no choice but to run away."
"right!"
Shen Youliang nodded vigorously and said: "Let your old cousin run away, run as far away as possible! As long as the inspection team can't find him, they won't be able to accuse me!"
The old accountant hurriedly said: "But where can my old cousin go? The family is still waiting for him to support him."
"Why bother with so much at this point? How many people does his family have? I'll just raise him for a few years!"
Shen Youliang quickly opened the drawer, counted five hundred yuan from it and handed it to the old accountant.
The old accountant pursed his lips: "This little money..."
"What? Five hundred is still less?"
"Director, it's enough to support the family, but my old cousin runs away like this. I can't just let him float like this. At least I need to give him some capital so that he can have a place outside."
The old accountant is a good person. He knows that now that something has happened, in order to protect his own safety, he can only let his old cousin run away, but if he wants to run away, Shen You must show some blood.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you another five hundred!"
Shen Youliang was also trying to spend money to ward off the disaster, and added a few more bills with a pained look on his face.
The old accountant then collected the money and then added: "My cousin has an old mother who is over seventy years old and is paralyzed. I guess the factory manager will need to help take care of her in the future."
Hearing this, Shen Youliang almost rolled his eyes and fainted.
Damn it, you can't steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Thirty carts of lumber were confiscated, not to mention the huge losses, but in the end, I even picked up a mother to provide for myself!
"Director, if you don't provide for the elderly, I'm afraid my cousin won't leave."
"Okay, okay! I'll provide for you!! I'll provide for you until I die!!!"
Shen Youliang grabbed his hair and shouted hysterically.
"Then...then I'll go over first, director."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the old accountant quickly took the money and ran out.
Shen Youliang slumped in his chair. This time he really lost a lot of money!
The money I made from the five loads of lumber I shipped a few days ago pales into insignificance compared to what I'm losing now.
But think about it again.
The Shipping Department in the Dananjiang Section is now almost a decoration, and rarely takes the initiative to send inspection teams to patrol the river.
To meet him by such a coincidence, someone must have tipped him off!
After much deliberation, the only suspect in this matter is Xiao Daguang! !
And who is behind Xiao Daguang?
it goes without saying!
"You bastard Li Xiucheng! When I get through this catastrophe, I will never be done with you!!"
Shen Youliang's face turned red with anger.
Di ring bell~~!
Then the phone rang.
When I picked it up, I heard the voice of Niu Futang from Xinxin Furniture Factory.
"Director Shen, when will today's lumber be delivered? Work here is about to stop!"
Niu Futang's voice was urgent and angry.
Shen Youliang, a stingy owner, tolerated the fact that the wood was divided into pieces and delivered every day.
But it’s already noon today and it hasn’t been delivered yet.
"The goods were not delivered today? How is that possible? Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to deliver it to you right away."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Youliang rubbed his forehead.
Then he quickly called the warehouse delivery workers over.
"What's going on! The goods from Xinxin Furniture Factory were not delivered today?"
Hearing the boss's question, the worker looked embarrassed: "Director, this warehouse is empty, what should I give away?"
"empty?"
Shen Youliang was stunned: "Didn't Jiangshi Forestry Farm tell them to arrange delivery two days ago? The goods haven't arrived yet??"
The worker shook his head and said: "No, I asked people to wait at the train station from yesterday until now, and there is not even a trace of the goods from Jiangshi Forestry Farm."
"What the hell is Manager Wang doing?"
Shen Youliang frowned and quickly picked up the phone and called the forest farm.
"Hey, Manager Wang, I'm Shen Youliang. I'm sorry to disturb you. I have the batch of goods I sent two days ago. Have they been shipped?"
"Oh, your batch of goods can't be shipped for the time being."
Hearing this, Shen Youliang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked: "Why? Manager Wang, don't kid me. Didn't you say that it was ready to be shipped out of the warehouse? Why can't it be sent out suddenly?"
"I'm kidding you, the forest farm has decided to close the hard maple and pine forest areas for half a year for afforestation. I just received the news yesterday, so if I want these two types of wood, I'll have to wait another half a year."
"Dudududu..."
The other party hung up the phone immediately after finishing speaking.
Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Shen Youliang's face instantly turned pale, and his heart felt cold.
He knew very well what consequences would come from the sudden closure of the forest farm for afforestation at this time.
"Director, what do you say over there?"
"Director??"
The workers next to me asked a few questions.
Shen Youliang was stunned, as if he didn't hear it.
Bang~!
The cigarette butt hanging from the corner of his mouth fell onto his thigh, burning him so hard that he finally woke up, jumped up and down, and bared his teeth.
"Ouch! Hiss~~"
"People are so unlucky that their teeth are blocked even when they drink water!"
