On August 12, before leaving get off work, Section Chief Li called everyone together again because the rice matter was finally settled.
"Each person has 15 bags, each bag contains 50 kilograms. The total is 750 kilograms. The rice is hybrid rice and the taste is not very good. Please bear with me."
Gao Yuemei was the first to speak: "Section Chief, you are out of touch. You are very lucky to be able to buy rice. Who cares about the taste."
Others also expressed their gratitude one after another. The 750 kilograms of rice was one or two hundred kilograms more than previously expected. Everyone was too late to be happy, so how could there be any complaints.
"Section Chief, how much is the total? I will transfer it to you right away." Xiang Xin said carelessly.
Section Chief Li smiled and replied: "Everyone is lucky this time. The other party is eager to take action. A bag of rice only costs 2,800 yuan."
2,800 yuan is indeed a reasonable price. Xu Dong bought rice for his family before. Even the cheapest hybrid rice, the official price has risen to 10 yuan per catty.
As for Panjiayuan, the price is often several times the official price. There is nothing surprising about seven or eighty yuan per catty.
"Section Chief, what is the background of this seller?"
Xu Dong wondered, even at this time, the other party still had so much rice in his hand. Either this person was a reborn person like him, or he had great energy.
Section Chief Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Originally, this matter should be kept secret, but the other party is going abroad soon, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Everyone listened attentively.
"This seller's family originally ran a large supermarket. Otherwise, this businessman is more sensitive than us. When he saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately stocked up dozens of tons of rice.
But recently, the situation has become increasingly grim. The other party no longer wants to stay in the country and plans to immigrate his family to New Zealand.
However, the higher authorities have completely banned the export of grains. This batch of grains cannot be taken away, so the other party can only find acquaintances to slowly take action.
I was also lucky. I happened to know this big boss, so I grabbed this batch of rice. If we had been later, we probably wouldn't have been able to grab even a single cent."
"Section Chief NB!" Many people started cheering.
"Okay." Section Chief Li waved his hand and said:
"I rented a warehouse near the South Fourth Ring Road, and all the rice was shipped here last night.
I'll take you over when I get off work later. I've only rented the warehouse for two days, so you should quickly take your share back!"
"Thank you, section chief."
Next, everyone began to transfer money to the section chief. One bag of rice was 2,800 yuan, and 15 bags was 42,000 yuan.
However, everyone discussed it and everyone transferred 45,000 yuan. After all, the section chief had to pay extra for renting the warehouse and transporting the goods. We must not let the section chief repay the money.
"You guys!" Section Chief Li smiled and shook his head, but he didn't refuse.
…
After get off work, five cars from the security department drove straight to the South Fourth Ring Road.
The warehouse that Section Chief Li rents is not so much a warehouse as a facade house. With the recent recession in all industries, such vacant facade houses can be seen everywhere on the streets.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Gu, Lao Jin, Lao Liu, Xiang Xin and the others don't have cars. Could you please send one for them?" Section Chief Li ordered.
"No problem." Xu Dong and the other four nodded in agreement.
The electric power company pays well. It's not that Xiang Xin and the others can't afford to buy a car. The main reason is that they can't bear to spend a lot of money to repair the car. Some are simply too lazy to repair it and have booked new cars early.
Xu Dong has a good relationship with Gao Yuemei, so her home was the first place he sent it.
"You must be Xiao Xu, thank you very much for the milk powder."
Gao Yuemei's lover came forward and handed him a cigarette. Judging from his dress, he must be an engineer.
"You're welcome, I didn't help much." Xu Dong said politely.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone started moving the rice. Gao Yuemei's home was on the fifth floor. Fortunately, there was an elevator, so it didn't take ten minutes to finish moving.
Gao Yuemei poured a glass of water for Xu Dong: "Xiao Xu, I'm bothering you again this time. You have a large family. Do you want me to share a few bags of rice with you?"
"No need, I also bought a lot of food in Panjiayuan, enough to eat."
Xu Dong quickly waved his hand. These rice might be life-saving food in the future, but he didn't dare to get his hands on it, not to mention that his family was not short of food, so there was no need.
"Okay then, talk to eldest sister again when you need it," Gao Yuemei insisted.
Xu Dong took a sip of water and said casually: "Let's talk about it later!"
After finishing the delivery to the first house, the second house is my colleague Lao Chen. He lives with his son and his family. The house at home is quite big, it seems to be about 200 square meters.
"Xiao Xu, sit down and have a rest."
Xu Dong wiped his sweat and sat down on the sofa: "Uncle Chen, why didn't you see Auntie?"
"She went to buy groceries, Xiao Xu, stay and have a meal together in the evening."
"No, Uncle Chen, there's still rice in the car, and I want to go home early!" Xu Dong resisted.
"Why are you in a hurry? It doesn't matter if you go back later. I have something else I want to discuss with you." Uncle Chen tried to persuade him.
In this way, Xu Dong was left behind.
At a little past seven o'clock in the evening, dinner started at Uncle Chen's house. There were seven people sitting at a large round table. The food was good, including braised fish and stir-fried diced pork, which was quite rich.
Because I still had to drive, I didn’t drink.
After the meal, Uncle Chen called his eldest grandson to him:
"Chen Yang, this is your Brother Xu, please say hello quickly."
"Hello, Brother Xu."
"Hello, Xiao Chen, which university did you graduate from?" Xu Dong asked.
Chen Yang seemed a little embarrassed: "Yanjing City College."
"Good...school."
Xu Dong had never heard of this school at all. It was probably not a famous university.
After chatting with each other for a few polite words, Uncle Chen finally revealed his inner thoughts:
"Xiao Xu, Chen Yang just graduated this year. I want him to join our security department. Lao Li and I have agreed that there happens to be a vacancy in your north gate. Please take care of him more in the future."
The establishment of a power company is generally a fixed number.
Uncle Chen planned to let his grandson join the company first, and after working for two or three years, he would be able to take over his job, so that he could legitimately get the formal establishment.
"Uncle Chen, I agree to this, so don't worry!"
As for favors, Xu Dong certainly knows how to do it.
"Chen Yang, why don't you thank you, Brother Xu."
"Thank you, Brother Xu."
Xu Dong thought for a moment, Uncle Chen must have other ideas for spending so much time on it, so he simply sent Buddha to the west:
"That's good. Our North Gate still lacks a vice-captain, so why not let Xiao Chen be the captain?"
"Thank you, Brother Xu." Uncle Chen didn't need to remind him this time, Chen Yang immediately thanked him.
Xu Dong patted the young man on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement: "Work hard, our security department can also produce talents."
It wasn't until after eight o'clock that Xu Dong accepted a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of Maotai wine from Uncle Chen, and finally left in his Daben.
