Chapter 994 Private Transactions
What is the most precious thing in the world today?
For each group, there are different opinions.
What the chaebols need is higher technology and better equipment, which can be used to protect their own interests without worrying about money and survival.
What the people need is a stable life and more money to live a better life without having to worry about starving to death.
The refugees just want to fill their stomachs, no matter what they have, as long as they can eat enough.
People of different social classes naturally pursue different things.
Take Yin Deyong for example. Although he is not a top dignitary and does not like to compete for power, the Food Administration Department controls the food mobilization of the entire Lu chaebol. Even if he does not compete for anything, the food in his hands
The power is also quite huge.
It can be said that, standing in Yin Deyong's class, his quality of life is quite high. Even the richest people in the old world may not live as well as him.
The higher you stand, the more you see things. If a chaebol leader who stands on the top of a tower and cannot have close contact with the people says that he can understand the sufferings of the people, it must be nonsense, because he doesn't even know
If you dare to walk alone on a civilian street, even if you go to inspect, you may find that all the people on the street are officials and soldiers pretending to be officials and soldiers, and there are not even any real common people.
It is impossible for a person from a poor family to sit in Yin Deyong's position. From the day he was born, his family status has been quite prominent, and he has almost no contact with the lower class of society. He has never left Daosui City before graduating from college.
, Later, after work, I went to inspect other fortresses, but I was coaxed around by the officials below.
Yin Deyong is over fifty years old, but he does not really understand the world. However, he is very happy, because from his perspective, under the leadership of the chaebol, the quality of life of the Lu people is quite rich and they can live
In a world that is exactly the same as TV news, as Lu Qingwei said, media reports are for people like them. The people below are like coaxing fools, fabricating all kinds of lies to deceive every day.
They are the officials of the capital city.
The power of chaebols has become a game. Participants in this game cannot be selected from civilians, but will only be selected from this small circle. This is one of the main reasons why the separation between the official and the private sector has become increasingly serious.
, and it is not without reason that Lu Meng, a person who truly understands what the world is like, has become an outlier in this circle.
There are two ways to deal with the old grain that has been eliminated by the General Food Administration. The first is to destroy it directly according to the degree of mold. The second is to treat some grain that is below edible standards as waste and dispose of it at a low price.
As for the old grain that is processed at a low price, the people below told Yin Deyong that it will be sold to feed mills and processed into feed for livestock.
Yin Deyong did not believe this. He always believed that these grains must have been sent to the refugee areas and became the rations of the refugees. In his opinion, the refugees were so despicable that even though he had lived to be over fifty years old,
, but so far I haven’t even said a word to any refugee.
But the actual situation was actually more unexpected than Yin Deyong imagined.
The old grains that were collected at low prices were all distributed to remote fortresses, mixed with normal grains, and sold to the people in the fortresses.
The refugees are not even qualified to eat Chen Liang, which is garbage in Yin Deyong's eyes, because they eat cheaper brown rice and sweet potatoes with larger yields.
Lu Meng suddenly came to the door and wanted to buy the old grain from the five major fortresses. This kind of thing made Yin Deyong very puzzled. He couldn't help but ask: "Lu Meng, you should know how much old grain is eliminated by the five major fortresses every month, right?"
"I have conducted a survey and found that at least six to seven hundred tons of grain are replaced every month in the five major granaries, and this month happens to be the annual large-scale replacement period of the granaries, so at least two thousand tons of grain are eliminated!"
After Lu Meng answered Yin Deyong's question, he continued: "Uncle Yin, as far as I know, you are responsible for the replacement of old grains of the WFP. Director Lu has a lot of things to do and will not interfere in this matter at all, so I bought it
Chen Liang, it’s just a matter of your words, can you please show your support and help your nephew?”
"Two thousand tons of old grain, do you know what this means?" Yin Deyong and Lu Meng looked at each other: "That's 40,000 bags of grain. If such a large batch of grain is piled together, it can become a mountain! You
What do you want it to do?"
"Uncle Yin, it doesn't matter what I want it to do. What matters is what I can bring to you!" Lu Meng did not directly answer Yin Deyong's question. He licked his lips and said, "I worked at the WFP.
I also know something about the sale of old grain. This kind of grain is sold to Erdao dealers for only one-tenth of the normal grain price. But if you are willing to sell this batch of grain to me, I am willing to pay five times the price, and
This money does not need to go through public accounts, but can be traded privately with you."
Yin Deyong smiled: "Are you bribing me?"
"It's not considered a bribe, and what I did did not cause any loss to the interests of the chaebol. I will pay the same acquisition fee as others in accordance with the rules. As for the extra money, it is considered as tea fee for you.
The favor you helped me with, I can't let you work in vain." Lu Meng had a moderate smile on his face: "Uncle Yin, after all, I have worked under you for so long, and this is the first time I open my mouth.
And there is no violation of law or discipline at all. You won’t refuse me this small favor, right?”
"If you want to ask me for thirty or fifty tons of grain, it's not a big deal, but if you want to take away two thousand tons of grain at once, the noise is a bit too big." Yin Deyong thought for a moment: "Let's do this.
At seven o'clock this evening, let's go to Huxi Restaurant to have a casual meal together, and I'll call a few colleagues in the department and let's talk together."
When Lu Meng saw that Yin Deyong said that he wanted to talk privately, he immediately felt that this matter was interesting and said with a smile: "Uncle Yin, if that's the case, then I will book a private room in advance and wait for your arrival!"
Yin Deyong smiled: "Okay, I still have work to deal with. Let's talk about these things in private."
The two exchanged a few words, and Lu Meng took the lead to leave. Yin Deyong thought about it in the office for about half a minute, then walked to the desk, picked up the phone's receiver, took the handwritten phone book next to him, and started reading page by page.
