Today, the biggest shortage in various industries may be money.
But what was really in short supply at that time were the means of production.
Especially in the early 1980s, various production fields in our country were scrambling to increase production and expand production.
If there are not enough raw materials to guarantee production, will industrial enterprises suffer?
This has undoubtedly become the biggest worry for industrial enterprises.
Generally, when local factories encounter a shortage of production materials, they often go to the local industrial management department and ask for allocation.
However, some factories in special industries, especially large-scale state-owned factories, are directly under the leadership of central ministries and commissions.
They had no other choice but to go to Beijing to solve the problem.
Needless to say, a bowl of water can never be truly level.
Therefore, some business leaders who understand this truth will send special personnel to the capital almost every once in a while to cry out for help.
Not to mention, a child who cries will be fed milk.
Just crying and begging like this can often bring about unplanned supplies.
But over time, this became a well-known "secret".
Every unit is crying out for food, which naturally causes everyone to follow suit.
Therefore, it is inevitable that this kind of competition will escalate year by year.
And this kind of war over articles of approval...if it can be called a war, is of course becoming increasingly difficult to fight.
When everyone is able to act in a sad drama, the most important thing is their communication skills.
Polyethylene is known as the rice of industry.
Coal is called the blood of industry.
These two items are the most scarce supplies because of their wide range of uses.
Especially in the plastic product processing industry, without these two things, work will have to stop completely.
Therefore, Chang Huanhuan, deputy director of the Southern Red Sun Plastic Products Factory, has been making two trips to the capital in the middle and at the end of each year since last year.
But this time when he came to Beijing, the deputy director who boasted that he was well versed in the capital city and always had immediate success was worried.
Just when he was about to pick up the goods, he encountered an unexpected situation.
The ministry suddenly received instructions from its superiors to allocate a large amount of materials to support the production tasks of two military industrial enterprises.
There were supplies originally intended for him, which immediately reduced the value of his approval slip by half.
Although the person who approved the note was considerate of his difficulties and wrote another note to fill the gap.
But the trouble is that this note has to be transferred from a large factory in the capital under another ministry.
Chang Deli uses himself to judge others, and of course he knows that what other factories have swallowed, how can it be so easy to spit it out again?
As the saying goes, it is better for the county magistrate to take charge now.
Although the gods in the ministry are high above others, they will never refuse to do something when given an order.
But if you really have to deal with him in a perfunctory way, it's not impossible.
Ask him to wait for ten and a half months, and then tell him that he has tried his best, but if he really can't be mobilized, what can he do?
Even if we look for leaders, we can't really stop the production line, right?
Therefore, it depends on communication and treating guests to dinner.
You have to get "Twenty Rings" (cigarettes), "Hand Grenades" (wine), "Explosive Packs" (high-end food), and have good relations with the factory for this batch of strips to be effective.
But the key issue is that the gifts and souvenirs he brings are all calculated on the basis of the number of people in the ministry.
It's okay to treat guests, just spend money to set up a few tables and that's it.
But giving gifts is difficult. You have to collect them as you go.
But he has no such connections in the capital, so where can he get the good smoke and good wine?
Even in a place as big as Beijing, the best things you can buy in stores on the market are Class B cigarettes and wine that costs two or three yuan a bottle.
It's a bit hard to use for running errands.
At the very least, you have to get a few bottles of Luzhou Laojiao and a few peonies for friendship to be real, right?
This is really the case in social interactions. It is better not to give something inferior than not.
Because it is very likely that people will misunderstand and offend others, which is called the loss outweighs the gain.
So, what he is worried about now is whether he should inform his factory to send someone to deliver gifts quickly.
It’s better to find ways to find ways in the capital and try our best to get something that can be put on the market.
The key is to be quick, because if someone's production plan is arranged, the raw materials will really not be available.
Or if other manufacturers ask for approval first, wouldn’t it also increase the difficulty?
Anyway, trouble!
Don't tell me, God is really starving to death.
There is a thing in the world where if you want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow.
Just when Director Chang was scratching his head every day and having nowhere to look, tobacco and alcohol were delivered to his door.
And this Lord, who was like an angel in times of trouble, rescuing Jesus in times of trouble, was none other than the merciful Zhang Shihui.
Speaking of which, Zhang Shihui and Director Chang are no strangers to each other.
Because when Director Chang came to Beijing for the first time, it was Zhang Shihui who helped him find out the specific address and drew the route map on the map. Director Chang even gave Zhang Shihui a toad mirror for this purpose.
So after just reaching a consensus with Ning Weimin, it's not surprising that Zhang Shihui first thought of Factory Manager Chang.
After all, it is the most natural choice to start a situation with acquaintances, and it is not embarrassing to encounter a wall.
It was precisely because of this that when Zhang Shihui got off the night shift the next day, she changed her clothes.
With the intention of giving it a try first, I knocked on Director Chang's door.
He received his first part-time business smoothly.
"What? Xiao Zhang, can you get good cigarettes and good wine?"
After opening the door and hearing Zhang Shihui's intention, Factory Director Chang immediately shouted, bulging his eyes and trying his best to open the ditch.
Instead, it was like seeing a miracle.
He really didn't believe that he was just worrying about tobacco and alcohol, so why did someone just come to his door?
"Really, really," Zhang Shihui nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
He saw that there was a way out, and there was a light of hope in his eyes.
I was also thinking in my mind, wouldn’t it be so smooth?
Director Chang was still a little in disbelief.
"Ah? Where did you come from? Are you reliable?"
"Of course it's reliable. This is the capital, I'll go there..."
At the same time as Zhang Shihui answered, he looked around cautiously.
He wasn't careless, but he didn't want to be caught by someone from the housekeeping department.
"No, can you let me in?"
"well……"
Director Chang woke up and quickly let Zhang Shihui into the room, closed the door and hurriedly asked about the source of the things.
Zhang Shihui and Ning Weimin had already made plans.
He claimed that his relative worked in a sugar, tobacco and alcohol company and had just become a small leader.
"Xiao Zhang, what can you get? I don't want ordinary things, I just want good ones, the best ones, can you do that?"
This issue was also discussed yesterday, and Zhang Shihui was not afraid at all.
"Moutai or Wuliangye? Zhonghua or Peony?"
"Ah? Maotai... OK, you!"
Director Chang was stunned for a moment. He was really a little surprised and looked at it with admiration.
Ask again later.
"What's the price of Moutai, Zhonghua? What's the price of Peony and Wuliangye?"
"Maotai and China Tobacco are both...20 yuan, and Wuliangye and Mudan Tobacco are both fifteen yuan."
"Is it fast? If I want it, when can I get it? How many can you get?"
"This...it only takes you half a day to do it. Don't worry about the quantity. You can get as much as you want?"
To be honest, Director Chang was already tempted by this time.
But after all, he is a person who always runs in the outfield.
He could see that Zhang Shihui was a little guilty when he said the price just now.
I rolled my eyes and felt that the price was worth it, but I still had to fight for it.
So I tried to price it.
"Isn't the thing a bit expensive? How much is the official price in the store? It can't be more than double, right? Can Maotai and Zhonghua Fifteen be good?"
"That's... okay. How much do you want?"
Hearing this, Director Chang was ecstatic.
Because the market outside was selling Maotai 18 bottles, he never expected that Zhang Shihui agreed without counter-offering and actually took advantage.
"Okay, then I want eight bottles of Maotai and eight sticks of Chinese cigarettes. Hurry up, I'll wait for you for a day at most."
After he made the request, he added more for the sake of Wan.
"But there's one thing. I have to see the thing first before I can pay for it."
"No problem." Zhang Shihui's eyes also shone, and the muscles on his face were completely stretched.
Then he remembered something and quickly added, "Please prepare the money, we only need cash."
