Chapter 63 Barter

 Li Xuewu looked at the clock on the wall. It was past 12 o'clock and it was already Friday.

Li Xuewu leaned on the sofa and smoked, and did not enter the room to wake Li Xueli.

After sitting for more than twenty minutes, the second aunt came back first.

"Xuewu, Director Su has agreed that it will cost 3,000 kilograms, but he doesn't have a convenient warehouse there, so I have to ask your second uncle."

The second aunt hesitated for a moment and then said, "Director Su can't withdraw that much money at this late hour, so he can only exchange it with you for the welfare products in the warehouse. They are all Northeast specialties. He wrote an order and marked the prices at the back."

Come on, let’s see what you want.”

Li Xuewu was looking for Northeastern specialties to exchange for, so he quickly took the list and looked at it, comparing it with the prices in the capital.

Liquor costs 80 cents, which is 1 yuan per catty in Beijing;

Cabbage costs 1 cent, which is also 1 cent per catty in Beijing;

A radish costs 1 cent, which is also 1 cent per catty in Beijing;

Potatoes cost 1 cent and 5 cents, but in Beijing they cost 2 cents per catty;

Frozen hairtail costs 5 cents, which is 5 cents and 5 cents per catty in Beijing;

Frozen river fish costs 6 cents and 5 cents per pound, but in the capital it is 7 and 5 cents per pound;

Rice costs 1 cent, which is 1 cent, 4 cents and 3 cents per catty in the capital;

White flour costs 1.5 cents, compared with 1.7 cents and 6 cents per pound in Beijing;

Cornmeal costs 7 cents, but in Beijing it is 9 cents and 5 cents per pound;

Soybean oil costs 7 cents, which is 7.5 cents per pound in Beijing;

There aren’t many samples, and we can’t get as many rich New Year benefits now.

The second aunt pointed at the liquor and said, "It's Da Linquan at Laojiaokou. Hairtail is from Andong, frozen river fish is from Chagan Lake, carp, crucian carp, catfish, mixed, grain and oil are all local."

It's obvious that Director Su knows the market price. The difference is not big, but he still makes a profit.

Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "Second Aunt, it's not easy to get cash so late, so let's exchange it all."

Li Xuewu wrote a price of 2,400 yuan on the list, and also wrote the required amount after each category.

1,000 kilograms of white wine, 5,000 kilograms each of cabbage, radish, potatoes, and cornmeal, 200 kilograms each of frozen hairtail and frozen river fish, 1,000 kilograms each of rice and white flour, and 850 kilograms of soybean oil.

Li Xuewu handed the written receipt to the second aunt and asked hesitantly, "Second aunt."

Auntie, do you have so many things in your unit’s warehouse? The other one is 3,000 kilograms of large white pears, which your unit can’t eat, right?”

Taking the order, the second aunt put it on the table and looked at it carefully. She raised her head and said to Li Xuewu, "Director Su is 30 years old this year. You said he is so young, why did the leader let him be the most important director of the logistics department?"

Why are there so many kinds of materials in the warehouse?"

"Furthermore, this is the Northeast. We say we are the richest. Who in the country dares to say no?"

Li Xuewu understood instantly that putting the right people in the right positions is the core of leadership work.

What the Logistics Director should do is to provide logistical support to the workers. If you can’t get anything done, why not be the Logistics Director?

Secondly, the Northeast was really wealthy at this time, with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas, abundant products, developed heavy industry, a large proportion of workers, and a good economy.

Seeing Li Xuewu's understanding look, the second aunt said, "Which department in Spring City does not need the help of the railway? It is easy to communicate with each other. If you don't keep all the 3,000 kilograms of pears, we can just exchange them."

After the second aunt finished speaking, she stood up, took the list, and went out to find Director Su without further explanation to Li Xuewu.

In less than ten minutes, the second aunt came back and said that she had gone over there to prepare and was waiting for your second uncle to call.

In this way, Li Xuewu continued to wait for his second uncle at home with his second aunt, and his second uncle came back about half an hour later.

The second uncle asked the second aunt, "How much does Lao Su want?"

The second aunt answered while helping the second uncle change clothes, "It costs 3,000 kilograms and it has to go through the forestry warehouse. We don't have a hidden warehouse, and it's all about material exchange. Xuewu has already placed an order."

The second uncle sat down and took a sip of water, and then said, "First come, first served, Lao Yang is ready to come, so give Lao Yang 3,750 kilograms. The location will be at the wood processing factory warehouse of the 213 Forestry Farm outside the city. I will come soon."

I’ll take you there, it’ll take more than half an hour by bike.”

The second uncle also took out a bill from his pocket and handed it to Li Xuewu. He looked at him and said, "It's so late and in such a hurry. Lao Yang can't come up with so much cash. I know the profit of the forest farm.

I’ve placed an order for you, let’s see if it works.”

Li Xuewu took the order and checked it.

Mink skin, deer skin, wolf skin, tiger skin mixed fur, each price is 10 yuan

Zhang Suan asked for 100 pieces for 1,000 yuan, all of which were cooked leather.

Wild mushrooms, black fungus, and golden needles are all dry goods, and the price is 2 yuan per catty. Each of them costs 50 catties, and the total is 300 yuan.

Jujubes, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pine nuts are all dried fruits. Calculated at 1 yuan per catty, each costs 200 catties, which is 800 yuan.

Six silly roe deer, each weighing about 60 kilograms, each kilogram of meat is priced at 5 cents, which is 180 quick bucks.

Timber, 3-meter-long logs, cost 2 yuan each. I asked for 300 logs, which cost 600 yuan.

120 yuan in cash.

Li Xuewu knew that he was going to make money on this trip, and he already had several thousand yuan.

"Okay, Second Uncle, I'll do as you wish. I'll call now and ask them to send it there in an hour. Is it easy to find a place?"

The second uncle smiled and said, "The people in your office are all locals. I don't know where they are. Even if it's dark at night, you can see them from a long distance during the day."

The second uncle stood up and walked to the window and pointed to the guard room and said, "I have already agreed with the guard, old Sun, you just go."

Li Xuewu said hello to his second aunt and went downstairs. He walked two steps into the guard's room. There was an old man sitting in the guard's room. Li Xuewu politely handed him a cigarette.

The doorman, Old Sun, asked and went out to smoke.

Li Xuewu picked up the phone and pretended to dial a number with his back behind his back. He muttered a few words and then put down the phone. He walked out the door and handed the guard a pack of Beijing's economy cigarettes.

The doorman didn't say anything and went back to the house.

After a while, my second uncle came over pushing a cart.

Li Xuewu took over the handlebars, carried his second uncle on his back and rode out of the city according to the instructions. After riding for about half an hour, he arrived at the dark wood processing factory.

The wood processing factory only works during the day, with only an old man on duty at night. The warehouse door is built outside the factory to facilitate shipments.

The second uncle entered the factory gate, entered the duty room, took the key, took Li Xuewu to the warehouse, unlocked the door, and opened the gate.

When you turn on the light, you will see that the warehouse looks very big, with processed wood placed on the walls.

The second uncle pointed to the large warehouse and said, "There is enough space. When you are done, you can go to the factory guard room to find me. I will go and chat with the guard for a while."

Li Xuewu saw the wood and grabbed his second uncle's hand and asked, "Second uncle, what kind of wood are these? How should I choose? I asked them to pick up the wood first."

Load large logs and carry them away”

Seeing Li Xuewu's eyes wandering around the wood area, the second uncle pointed at the wood area and said, "Over there are red pine, white pine, birch, callas, paulownia, basswood, and ash. Count down what's inside.

tell me"

Li Xuewu nodded and said yes before sending his second uncle out.

I smoked two cigarettes at the door, peed again, and walked around to find that no one was there.

It's almost 2:30 now, so I have to work quickly.

Li Xuewu closed the warehouse door and stacked baskets of large white pears in the space against the wall.

After struggling for more than 20 minutes, I went to the lumber area to plant logs one by one, and installed a total of 300 square meters of logs, each of which was three meters long. They were neatly stacked in the space. They looked like dry wood and smelled very fragrant.

.

I sat there for another half hour.

Li Xuewu pushed open the door, squatted on the wall and smoked two cigarettes before walking to the guard's room. Without entering the house, he knocked on the guard's door.

Seeing his second uncle coming out, Li Xuewu winked at him, leaned into his ear and said, "Everything is packed equally. The ones that were transported didn't go far. I'm waiting for the letter."

The second uncle nodded and went into the house to make a phone call, but hung up before he could get through.

The second uncle went out and led Li Xuewu to the warehouse. He saw densely packed bamboo baskets with big white pears in them at the base of the wall.

Li Gan didn't think too much about it. He didn't hear the sound of a car just now. It seemed that a livestock truck was coming. He sighed inwardly that there were capable people at the sales office of the steel rolling mill.

The two waited for more than 20 minutes. Two trucks arrived and more than ten people got off.

A man who looked like a cadre followed the second uncle into the warehouse. After a while, the cadre went out and waved his hand, and the truck and people went in. The second uncle followed and closed the door from the inside.

Except for the sound of cars, there was no sound from the personnel.

Li Xuewu didn't follow him in. He just stood in the dark corner of the factory guardroom and smoked. He was really sleepy.

It was dark on the other side of the warehouse, and I didn't hear any other sounds from here. After more than ten minutes, the truck left the door and disappeared into the darkness.

More than ten minutes later, two more trucks came, both carrying people, and they entered the warehouse without hesitation, and left half an hour later.

After the second uncle came out, he gestured to Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu walked this way. The second uncle walked to the guard's room, slapped him in the face without saying a word, took the cigarette Li Xuewu handed him, and went to the guard's room.
