After being stunned for two seconds, Tie Jun dialed Tie Biao's phone. After two beeps, Tie Biao's voice rang out. Like Tao Hua, his voice was also hoarse.
"Hello, who's there?"
"Brother, it's me. What's wrong with my throat?"
After being stunned for a moment, Tie Jun spoke.
"Just drink. You'll be fine in two days! Is Dalin's leg okay?"
After hearing his elder brother's words, Tie Jun was sure that it must be related to Dachun's awakening.
Since the eldest brother didn't want to mention this matter, he couldn't ask more questions and could only follow what the eldest brother said.
After learning about Tie Lin's situation, Tie Jun asked about Qin Shuilan. Tie Biao said that Qin Shuilan was very capable and had already opened a store in Bingcheng.
After saying a few words, Tie Biao praised Tie Jun for being fastidious, and sent Ayiguli here. He went out to play with Liuba every day and freed him.
Then they chatted about Lao Niu, and Tie Biao said that Lao Niu and him were just friends, and it didn’t mean much, so don’t worry about it.
After talking for five minutes, all the questions that needed to be asked were asked. Tie Jun was about to hang up the phone when Tie Biao suddenly said something.
"Army, you can't repeat your life. Cherish the people in front of you and don't leave any regrets for yourself!"
After saying that, Tie Biao hung up the phone. Tie Jun was confused for a long time and suddenly felt that his elder brother was old.
Continue to call Liu Wenhua and learn that the goods here have been prepared. They are waiting for Tie Jun to come back so that they can confirm the type and quantity of the goods for Su Yi.
Tie Jun was assured of Liu Wenhua's work efficiency. After thinking about it, he told him to pay more attention to heavy machinery, saying that he would start industrial projects next year.
Liu Wenhua was very excited and said he would meet Lao Tie for a drink that night. Tie Jun knew that his industrial heart had never been cold.
Finally, we called the heavy machinery factory and chatted with Lao Tie for almost ten minutes. Tie Jun found that Lao Tie was more talkative than before. "Dad is getting old too." Tie Jun said in his heart.
"Dajun, please come back and stay at home for a while. Your mother has been talking about you these days."
"I know, Dad, I'll fly back right away after I finish my work here."
"Well, take care of yourself!"
"Okay, you and my mother are the same, take care of yourself! Then...I die?"
"Hang up!"
"Dudududu..."
Sighing, Tie Jun put on the phone, paid and left.
"What's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
Liu Shengli, who was waiting aside after making the call, asked with a smile.
"Miss me!"
"Then go home as soon as you're done. People are like this when they get old. They don't want to eat or drink. They just want their children to be by their side to chat with them."
"Well, let's go. A manager has come from Tianshui and is waiting at the Yuanshan Purchasing Station!"
"Damn it, with this efficiency, your friend can't be a veteran!"
"You can put anything on your soldiers, you are a big scoundrel!"
The two of them left the post office while talking, got in the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight to the purchasing station.
In just one day, the buying station was still the same buying station, and Lao Wang was still the same Lao Wang, but the boss was changed, a capable man in his early thirties.
"you?"
Lao Wang was nodding and bending to report his work with a ticket holder. When he saw Tie Jun and Liu Shengli walking into the purchasing station, he frowned and asked.
"Is this Manager Liu Haitao, right? My name is Tie Jun."
Tie Jun ignored him and looked at the capable man.
"Oh, Boss Tie, I arrived yesterday afternoon and wanted to go up the mountain. They said you must come down today, so... hahaha!"
The two shook hands, and Lao Wang stepped aside in a disapproving manner.
"This is Liu Shengli, my eldest brother, from the Lanzhou Military Region."
Tie Jun introduced Liu Shengli, and Liu Haitao quickly shook hands.
"Brother Liu, my whole family, by the way, I am also from the Northeast, from Daxinganling."
"Oh? Where is Daxinganling? Several of my comrades are over there!"
"Aershan Forestry Bureau."
"Aershan? Then you are from Inner Mongolia!"
"We are further north than the Northeast!"
"Hahaha, that's right, your name...is called Aershan Town, Xing'an League Keyouqian Banner, divided into local areas and forestry."
Liu Shengli supported his family, and Tie Jun also knew about Aershan and that it would become a city and a tourist attraction for future generations, but he couldn't say it and could only pretend to be envious.
"Ah, I have met someone who understands. Haha, my dad drives an ivy, and I graduated from Nei Lin. I just took a leave of absence without pay the year before last and went out to make a career."
"Sure, you dare to smash your iron job and go out into the world, you have courage.
I have a comrade in the Zhalantun Armed Forces. I went to see him a few years ago and even stayed in Aershan for two days. It’s a great place with beautiful scenery!”
As the two chatted, Tie Jun couldn't get a word in. Lao Wang was even more confused and didn't know whether to leave or stay.
"Don't fool me with your false accounts. Just sort them out and report them again!"
Liu Haitao waved his hand at Lao Wang, and Lao Wang quickly nodded.
They were asked to go to the stationmaster's office and some tea was served. Tie Jun spoke first.
"Manager Liu, do you think you have officially taken over the Yuanshan Acquisition Station?"
"To tell you the truth, this is our first time coming to collect mountain goods."
Tianshui City governs 2 districts, 5 counties, 138 townships, and 11 towns. There are more than 200 purchasing stations like this.
Every year they collect it, sell it to us, and collect it at our doorstep. They invest too much manpower and financial resources."
"I understand, you came to your door because of my phone call?"
Tie Jun suddenly felt uncomfortable. He could have just waited in Tianshui for him to be taken over, but he was looking for trouble for his eldest brother and wanted special treatment for him.
"Boss Tie, don't say that. We have made it clear to you that we must handle this matter clearly. Look, I'm here!"
Liu Haitao panicked a little and quickly explained, cursing in his mind that he couldn't speak and had offended the person in front of him, so he should get out.
"Okay, that's it now. I've recorded the favor, and I won't say anything frivolous.
I'm just curious, why is there such a big difference between the price of pepper you gave and the price of pepper collected at Yuanshan Purchasing Station?"
"Oh, just talking about Sichuan peppercorns, we divide the price according to type and quality. The 17 villages in Shanmen Town grow Dahongpao, which is twice as expensive as ordinary Sichuan peppercorns."
"How much did you pay for Dahongpao last year?"
"Dahongpao grows older every year. Last year our purchase price was 12 yuan per catty, but this year it has grown to 15 yuan per catty."
"I understand, the Yuanshan Purchasing Station collects the pepper at the price of ordinary pepper and sells it to you at the price of Dahongpao."
"Well, it was only when I got here yesterday that I came to know about this kind of trick played by the Yuanshan Purchasing Station."
"Damn, it's so dark."
Liu Shengli cursed.
"It's all the fault of the mountains. There are no roads, so a lot of pepper cannot be transported, and companies like ours don't come to the door, so these small purchasing stations are cheaper."
Tie Jun nodded and asked again: "Then please calculate how much extra freight it will cost to transport these peppers to Tianshui per kilogram?"
"What's the point of this? The boss pays the bill, so don't embarrass me."
"Okay, I'll call and ask for someone else!"
"No, no, no, it's not easy for me to offend a young manager. If you call me, I will definitely move Tudou."
Okay, I said, it’s almost 1 yuan per pound.”
"Okay, I'll open the skylight and tell the truth. We'll pay the freight ourselves, and we'll settle it at 14 yuan per catty."
"Boss Tie, please don't embarrass me. If you do this, I will be even worse off."
Liu Haitao jumped up with a grimace on his face, as if the sky would fall if he saved the company 1 yuan.
