Chapter 251 Ordering at the Agricultural Machinery Station
Reporter Yuan feels that this matter is usually mentioned in some work meetings to do a good job in spring plowing, increase summer grain production, prevent droughts and disasters, etc. There is no need to mention it in particular, right?
Seeing Reporter Yuan's expression, Xu Erlong didn't take this matter very seriously.
It makes sense when you think about it, why do people make irresponsible remarks in newspapers based on a few words of yours without any evidence?
"Do you want to be promoted? Do you want to become a well-known reporter?" Xu Erlong came closer and asked reporter Yuan.
Reporter Yuan glanced at him, and the meaning was obviously clear.
Who doesn’t want to get promoted? Who doesn’t want to make further progress?
"If you dare to make an urgent reminder about the drought on the front page of the newspaper, I guarantee that you will be promoted within three months." Xu Erlong used this to seduce him.
This is simply inviting people to commit crimes. Can such a thing be done casually?
"Opportunities are often fleeting. Think about it, if you put an urgent warning about drought in the newspaper now, when the drought comes true, will everyone praise you for taking precautions? Whether it is the people above or the people below,
I will all remember your goodness." Xu Erlong continued to seduce.
Reporter Yuan was really tempted.
Sure enough, risks and opportunities coexist.
If he is warned in advance and the bet is right, he will definitely gain reputation. If the bet is wrong, he will definitely be punished.
"It depends on how you think about it." Xu Erlong said.
It was impossible for him to hold a knife and force reporter Yuan to write this report.
After reporter Yuan went home, he compiled today's press releases.
In my mind, it seemed like what Xu Erlong said.
Do you want to become a famous reporter? Reporter Yuan thinks so.
When Xianyu still wants to stand up, as a reporter, of course he also wants to have his own influence and become a well-known reporter.
He sat in front of the writing desk, holding a pen, hesitating again and again, not knowing how to write.
Finally, reporter Yuan decided to take a chance.
However, he also took a chance. He added the name Xu Erlong to this urgent reminder and early warning of drought, and it became - according to Xu Erlong's analysis.
If the game is correct, Xu Erlong will become famous, and he will also become famous in the circle.
If the bet is wrong, then Xu Erlong will be called a liar, and he will be punished a little. The biggest problem is that he did not understand the truth of the matter carefully and carefully, and listened to rumors and other criticisms.
After repeated consideration, reporter Yuan wrote the manuscript and handed it to his editor-in-chief.

Xu Erlong didn't sleep well all night.
In addition to giving everyone an early warning, this also requires some more practical operations.
The most practical operation is, of course, to purchase a water pump in advance. When there is a severe drought, water can be pumped from below to above step by step to irrigate crops.
Xu Erlong rarely finds sources of goods now, and he doesn't have so much time to find sources of goods.
Early the next morning, Xu Erlong rode his bicycle and ran to the county agricultural machinery station.
In the early 1980s, townships (then called communes) generally had seven stations and eight offices.
The seven stations mainly refer to agricultural technology stations, forestry stations, agricultural machinery stations, animal husbandry and veterinary stations, economic and management stations, water conservancy stations, broadcasting stations, and fishery technology stations set up in coastal communes; while the eight stations refer to the finance station, police station, taxation station, and grain station.
Post and telecommunications station, power supply station, civil affairs office, judicial office. If there is only one person in some stations, they are called assistants, such as economic management assistant and financial assistant. And if there is only one person in the police station, they are called public security commissioners.
The agricultural machinery station is mainly responsible for repairing various machinery and equipment for farmers and collecting and planting crops on collective land.
Xu Erlong now went directly to the county agricultural machinery station and asked to buy ten sets of water pumps.
"Buy ten sets?" The comrades at the agricultural machinery station were all shocked by his rich appearance.
You know, their main business is to sell sprayers and the like, and they only have one set of them.
Where can I buy ten sets like this?
Besides, they don’t have any in stock either.
"I'm sure I want ten sets." Xu Erlong said with certainty: "I can pay the deposit now, and you can organize the transfer of goods. I will come to pick it up when the time comes."
Xu Erlong happily paid a deposit of 500 yuan on the spot. Moreover, he signed a contract with the agricultural machinery station and paid a deposit of 500 yuan first, and the remaining funds will be paid later. If he fails to pick up the goods after the deadline,
These deposits naturally belong to the agricultural machinery station.
The director of the agricultural machinery station was extremely tempted.
This is a big deal.
After all, there are many hills here, unlike other plain areas where mechanized operations can be realized, so there are no opportunities to sell and buy large-scale agricultural machinery.
But now, such a large order suddenly appeared, and people even paid a deposit, so of course it must be taken seriously.
Xu Erlong took the initiative to give others reassurance: "Of course, you really can't order so many, it doesn't matter, you can have as much as you can. Even if you don't have any by then, you can just return the deposit to me, you don't
Every penny will be lost.”
This completely dispelled the concerns of the agricultural machinery station administrator.
Think about it, the deposit has been given here. Even if the goods are not available by then, the deposit will be refunded. There is no loss.
The director of the agricultural machinery station smiled and reached a contract agreement with Xu Erlong.
After sending Xu Erlong away, the webmaster started making phone calls, using his channels and connections, and started looking for a water pump.
After making the call, the webmaster sat aside, smoking a cigarette and reading the newspaper.
This is the local newspaper that was delivered today. One newspaper and one cigarette can keep these people busy all day.
The webmaster flipped through the newspaper and saw on the front page that there was a warning that a severe drought was imminent this year and asked the people of the county to be more vigilant and prepare for drought prevention and relief.
This report is conclusive, and what is said above is based on Xu Erlong's speculation.
Xu Erlong?
Isn't he the person who just came here to order ten water pumps from me?
The webmaster was afraid that he might have made a mistake, so he took another look at the contract.
Yes, it's really Xu Erlong.
So, he predicted that there would be a severe drought this year? Not only did the newspaper report the news, but he himself also started purchasing water pumps in advance?
The webmaster didn't even read the newspaper and immediately started calling again: "Hello, Lao Su? It's me, Lao Zhang. I'm sorry to bother you again. Just now, we here didn't bother you to approve the ten stations.
Water pump? No, I don’t want to cancel, I mean, we will add more, ten more... Okay, I will trouble you about this, um, I will try to come over tomorrow to see the goods..."
The stationmaster is working non-stop to prepare this batch of supplies. No matter what, these water pumps must be taken down.
People in Qi'an Commune also read the newspaper.
Unexpectedly, Xu Erlong actually issued a warning through the newspaper. It seems that this matter must be taken seriously.
There are such conclusive reports in newspapers, how can they be false?
