Nowadays, the factory directors of these state-owned factories all have administrative ranks.
The other party was just using a fancy sedan chair to carry people, and said it casually.
If Gu Yunyang really thinks he's so great, then he's not seeing his own place.
"Director Zhuang is joking. What about our stuff?"
Lao Zhuang clearly noticed that Gu Yunyang wasn't swayed by his few kind words.
Clearly, this young man is quite good.
Even though the other party isn't part of the system and may never be as good as him in this lifetime, there's no need to make things difficult for him.
Moreover, my current situation isn't good either, so their visit can be seen as a way to get me out of this predicament.
"The fertilizer factory has accepted the goods. However, you need to transport them to another location for me first."
Gu Yunyang nodded readily in agreement.
This made Laozi and Zhuangzi look at them in a different light.
"Aren't you afraid that if I take the things, I won't give you the fertilizer?"
Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "What's the big deal? Captain Tan is right here. You wouldn't do this out of respect for Captain Tan."
Besides, it's just a few hundred pounds of lychees. It's nothing much; we don't have many things, but we have plenty of lychees. Giving them to Director Zhuang wouldn't be a bad idea.
"It's just that our brigade is really short of fertilizer; otherwise, we wouldn't even dare to offer these lychees."
Lao Zhuang gave Gu Yunyang a deep look. His attitude—well-mannered and neither arrogant nor humble—was quite good.
He was transferred from the military and didn't really like those glib-tongued people.
He could tell from Gu Yunyang's few words that Gu Yunyang was being sincere.
Gu Yunyang genuinely looked down on these hundreds of kilograms of lychees.
To be honest, a few hundred kilograms of lychees wouldn't seem like much to locals a month later.
But it's only the beginning of June!
Lychees that hit the market early have a different value.
Immediately, Lao Zhuang began to value Gu Yunyang even more.
He felt that although Gu Yunyang was only a brigade secretary at the moment, it was not impossible for him to advance further.
We might need it in the future.
However, these are all things for the future.
For now, let's accept these lychees.
"Here's what we'll do. Old Tan knows where I am. You go with him and get the stuff over there. I'll bring you as much fertilizer as you need."
Gu Yunyang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Gu Hanping.
Gu Hanping gave him a look that said, "You decide."
Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "Then we would definitely like as much as possible. Director Zhuang, as you know, our countryside is particularly short of fertilizer. If you could spare some fertilizer, we would definitely want as much as possible."
Lao Zhuang nodded; he also knew about the scarcity of fertilizer.
"However, even if your 400-plus jin of lychees are relatively scarce due to their early market availability, I can only charge you 4 mao per jin. As for the fertilizer, I'll charge you 5 mao per jin at the factory price. I can only give you 320 jin of fertilizer."
To be honest, lychees at four cents a pound are not cheap.
If it hadn't been released early, this stuff might not have sold even at a penny per pound.
Local production is too large.
Even in Baishi Commune, there were lychee trees in the courtyards or behind the houses of those people.
Even if you were to pay money to buy it, no one would be willing.
Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and said, "We'll have several hundred catties of lychees ripening every day from now on. We can probably provide another 1,500 catties in the next two days. I wonder if Director Zhuang would like them?"
Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and decided that if he worked overtime these past two days to accelerate the ripening process, he could increase the yield.
If we go up the mountain again and cause some trouble, we might be able to scrape together some more.
If Lao Zhuang doesn't want it, he will still try to find the supply and marketing cooperative.
Of course, the price wasn't as high as what Lao Zhang offered.
This matter can still be tried in the next few days, but after a while, when it is listed in other places, there will be no room for maneuver.
Old Zhuang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, give it all to me. I'll say you got 1900 jin, which is 760 yuan. I'll give you 1520, no, 1600 jin of fertilizer, is that okay?"
Gu Hanping almost fell over; his heart was pounding too fast.
1600 jin?
