Master Zhou said: "I know he spent money to buy it, but I don't want it for nothing."
Qian Duofu said: "Master Jun's hot water system uses almost fifteen square meters of stainless steel plates. Sixty cents per square meter, which is nine yuan here. I can help you talk to Master Jun. It will be given to you for free.
Yes, but there is nothing I can do about the other cement, sand and red brick ones. You still have to hire a plasterer. You also have to buy sprinklers and valves yourself, which all cost about ten yuan."
When Master Zhou heard that stainless steel plates cost nine yuan, and he had to buy cement, sand and red brick valves himself, he really couldn't afford it for only twenty yuan.
He opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to say no, so he could only say: "Stainless steel can be cheaper."
Qian Duofu smiled: "Master Zhou, the stainless steel plates were bought for 60 cents per square meter. How cheap. Even so, I still had to go to the military commander to intercede, because the stainless steel plates were also in short supply, and he spent a lot of money.
It took a lot of effort to get it back. If you want him not to make money, it’s okay, but if you want him to lose money, it’s not good.”
Master Zhou's face turned red and blue for a while, and he said vaguely: "I'll think about it again."
Then he left.
Master Zhou got more and more angry as he thought about it on the way back. If he had wanted to make something before retiring, he would have just brought back the raw materials from his team.
Now that he is retired, he can't even build a hot water stove.
He was so angry that he ran directly to the agency office to find the head of the supply and marketing department.
The head of the supply and marketing department did not dare to offend these retired front-line workers and received Master Zhou politely: "Master Zhou, what brought you here today?"
Master Zhou snorted: "I'm retired and no longer useful, so I'm being bullied."
The section chief was startled and said quickly: "Who dares to bully Master Zhou?"
Master Zhou said: "I want to make a hot water stove, but I can't find stainless steel plates. Your supply and marketing department is trying to find a way to get some stainless steel plates." The section chief secretly complained: Why is it the hot water stove again?
He replied: "It's not that we didn't find a way to go to the city's steel plant to purchase goods. But this kind of thin-walled stainless steel plate is a hot commodity. Li Wenjun alone bought up the inventory of the city's steel plant for several months. We couldn't buy it even if we went there.
"
As long as the supply and marketing section chief can clear up his relationship, he will dare to tell any nonsense. Master Zhou has no way to verify it anyway. However, his words are also half true and half false, and thin stainless steel plates cannot be bought by everyone.
When Li Wenjun bought it back, everyone was still sighing that Li Wenjun was indeed quite capable.
Master Zhou was so angry that he slapped the table: "In other words, all the stainless steel plates in the mining area are owned by Li Wenjun. He is practicing monopoly. What is the difference between him and a capitalist? Don't you think of something to do?"
The supply and marketing section chief said in his heart: Li Wenjun bought the stainless steel plates with his own skills. No matter how brutal the mining area is, he cannot force Li Wenjun to take them out.
But he didn't dare to say it directly, so he could only say to Master Zhou: "Master Zhou, Li Wenjun is from the electronics factory. You know, the things in the electronics factory are not under my control. The supply and marketing department only takes care of things in the mining area. There is nothing I can do."
Master Zhou asked: "Who are you looking for?"
The supply and marketing section chief said vaguely: "Let's go to Li Wenjun's leader."
Who is Li Wenjun’s leader? Li Wenjun has no leader! He has the final say in the electronics factory.
Master Zhou tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems that only the mine manager can control Li Wenjun. I'll go find the mine manager."
The head of the supply and marketing section couldn't stop him. He stopped him and couldn't explain clearly, so he had to let him go. These retired workers were not highly educated, they only believed in dead logic and couldn't explain the truth.
-----
Master Zhou went straight to Guo Jianguang's office.
Guo Jianguang happened to be alone here. When he saw Master Zhou coming, he stood up quickly and said, "Hey, Master Zhou is here. Is there anything wrong?"
Guo Jianguang came from the front line and has great respect for retired front line workers.
Master Zhou said angrily: "I want to complain."
Guo Jianguang said with a smile: "Who dares to make Master Zhou so angry? Just tell me and I will educate him."
Master Zhou: "I'm not Li Wenjun from the electronics factory yet."
Guo Jianguang was stunned: "Ah, what did he do again?"
Master Zhou said: "I want to make a hot water stove and want to buy some thin-walled stainless steel plates from the mine, but after asking around I found out where all the stainless steel plates are. Li Wenjun. The electronics factory is getting more and more excessive now. Even
Production originally had to be monopolized, but if this continues, it will be okay. No one will be able to control it in the future."
Guo Jianguang sighed secretly: Don't talk about the future, no one can care about it now.
He was a little embarrassed: "Steel plates are the raw material of the electronics factory, and the mining area has no access to the electronics factory. The agreement was signed when the electronics factory was established..."
Master Zhou said: "I don't care, mine director Guo, do you care or don't care. This is a welfare issue for retired employees."
In fact, the hot water stove is small. The main reason is that Master Zhou's son wanted to join the electronics factory, but Zhao Lin and others refused to let him in, saying that he was not suitable.
Master Zhou held his breath in his heart. It was just that this incident became a fuse to ignite the explosives, or an excuse to find trouble with Li Wenjun.
Guo Jianguang's heart was bright and he smiled: "No matter. I'll call Li Wenjun and ask him to sell you some stainless steel plates. It's not a difficult task, and he won't lose money."
Master Zhou heard where he was. He originally wanted Guo Jianguang to force Li Wenjun to sell him the stainless steel plate at a cheap price, preferably for free.
As a result, Guo Jianguang said this, and it was hard for him to speak.
Guo Jianguang saw his embarrassment and secretly laughed: Do these people still want to use stainless steel plates for free? Even if they are from the mining area, it is impossible.
He picked up the phone and dialed Li Wenjun's office.
-----
Li Wenjun was busy talking to Zhao Lin about several new contracts when he heard the phone ringing and answered it.
"Hello, hello, I'm Li Wenjun."
Guo Jianguang: "Comrade Li Wenjun. I am Guo Jianguang."
Li Wenjun replied politely: "Hello, Mr. Guo."
Guo Jianguang: "Master Zhou wants to make a hot water stove, but he can't buy stainless steel plates. See if you can sell him some at cost price."
Li Wenjun said: "Okay."
Guo Jianguang said: "Let me just say it. Comrade Li Wenjun is a reasonable comrade and it is impossible to disagree. Then I asked him to come to you."
Li Wenjun said: "Okay, I'm in the office, just ask him to come directly."
Guo Jianguang said: "If there are comrades who want stainless steel plates in the future, I will ask them to come to you directly. There is no need to go through me again."
Li Wenjun said: "Okay, got it."
-----
Guo Jianguang hung up the phone and said to Master Zhou: "I have made an agreement with Comrade Li Wenjun. You can go directly to him."
Master Zhou thanked Guo Jianguang angrily and came out.
Guo Jianguang's last sentence just now was actually meant for him, asking him to tell others not to go to Guo Jianguang about this matter again.
