"Are you saying that Jia Dongsheng played a role in this incident?"
After calming down for a while, Li Huaide stared and asked seriously.
"That's right."
Fang Zhuo nodded. "I reported this to you before, asking all the kitchen staff to help with the factory's purchasing. Didn't you agree then?"
"Yeah, I know about that."
"After I spoke to the kitchen staff, Jia Dongsheng was very proactive. He had previously purchased live fish and other supplies for the factory."
Fang Zhuo recounted Jia Dongsheng's performance and continued, "A week ago, Comrade Jia Dongsheng told me that Qinjiagou Commune went hunting in the mountains, and he was able to purchase the prey he caught."
"It's just that the people from Qinjiagou Commune don't want money, they only want food. That's why they brought all the prey to the factory today."
"Well, it seems that Comrade Jia Dongsheng is very enthusiastic about his work. This is a good thing, and we should support him more."
"Director Li is right. We really should give more support."
Fang Zhuo had no objection to this. He had a very good impression of Jia Dongsheng. After all, he was a good cook and could contribute to the canteen. Which leader would not like such a subordinate?
"We support exchanging food for prey."
Li Huaide smiled and said, "For our factory, it's easy to get 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of grain. The main problem is that meat is too difficult to get."
"Yes, Director Li is right."
Fang Zhuo agreed and continued, "So, I'm thinking that the people from Qinjiagou Commune really can't transport more than 20,000 kilograms of grain at once, so shouldn't our factory transport some?"
"Should be no problem."
Li Huaide did not hesitate about the transportation and agreed directly. He could hunt several thousand kilograms of prey at a time, so helping to transport a little food was no big deal.
"I'll call the people in the loading and unloading department and the transportation department and ask them to go to the cafeteria to help move and deliver food."
"Hey, please excuse me, Director Li."
Hearing this, Fang Zhuo felt relieved and in a much better mood. However, there was still one thing he needed to report, but he didn't know if it would cause any trouble.
"My subordinates are too capable, and the pressure is enormous."
After thinking for a while, Fang Zhuo said, "Director Li, there is one more thing I need to report to you."
"Anything else?"
Li Huaide frowned and asked in confusion: "What else is there? Purchasing the prey this time doesn't require any money. Helping with the transportation has nothing to do with your cafeteria!"
"Well, it's about the double purchase order issued before." Fang Zhuo said with difficulty. This was a matter of more than 2,000 yuan. If the factory did not agree and was unwilling to give it to Jia Dongsheng, would Jia Dongsheng agree?
This is not a small amount of money, more than two thousand yuan. He has been working for half his life and has not saved a few thousand yuan.
If Jia Dongsheng makes a fuss and the factory finally investigates the matter, it will be his fault.
But he can't take the blame for this!
"Double purchases?"
Hearing this, Li Huaide couldn't help but frown. This was really not a trivial matter.
Two thousand yuan is certainly not a big deal for a steel rolling mill, but it is only given to one worker. Although there was a policy in this regard, when Li Huaide agreed, he never thought that there would be someone in the kitchen who could help purchase supplies worth more than two thousand yuan!
"This is a bit difficult to handle."
In Li Huaide's heart, he was willing to give more than 2,000 yuan.
If it were someone else, of course they would have to explain it differently. If that didn't work, they would just put the blame on Fang Zhuo. But the money was for Jia Dongsheng, so it was a different story.
Jia Dongsheng is his younger brother, and his happiness for the rest of his life depends on Jia Dongsheng. The better Jia Dongsheng is, the happier he will be.
However, with more than 2,000 yuan, Li Huaide was a little overwhelmed.
Li Huaide certainly has the right to approve such a large sum of money, but if he gave it to a worker without authorization, even if there was a reason, it would be a flaw and a handle.
It's fine normally, but it can be fatal at critical moments!
"No, I need to inform Yang Huaimin about this matter. He's the boss. This matter is a major issue for the factory and directly affects the factory's mission. I can't make the decision alone."
Sitting in the chair, there was silence for a long time. Li Huaide said, "Lao Fang, please wait a moment. I will go to report to Director Yang."
"Okay, I'll wait. I'll wait."
Fang Zhuo didn't expect that this matter would alarm Director Yang. If it got out of hand, he would have to take the blame.
As Fang Zhuo sat there anxiously, time passed quietly. Half an hour later, Li Huaide pushed the door open and walked in again.
Fang Zhuo immediately stood up and looked at Li Huaide with a pounding heart, wanting to know what the explanation was for this matter.
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
After returning to his seat and sitting down, Li Huaide did not speak. Instead, he picked up the water cup and drank two sips of water. When he was reporting to Yang Huaimin just now, the other deputy factory directors were worried because of this matter, so they held a short meeting to finally settle the matter.
"Haha...don't be nervous, this is a great achievement for the factory."
Li Huaide was in a good mood and smiled, saying, "The factory's workload is getting heavier and heavier, and this batch of meat arrived at the perfect time. Therefore, the factory finally decided to continue to follow the previous policy."
"Comrade Jia Dongsheng, since you were able to purchase this batch of meat, give him the money."
"After all, according to the order you issued earlier, the money should have been his."
"However, from now on, this policy needs to be changed. You can't just double the price of whatever the kitchen staff buys. Instead, you have to pay a 50% premium. Got it?"
"I know, I know."
Fang Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was completely over. At the same time, he secretly envied Jia Dongsheng. The factory agreed to the money, which meant that Jia Dongsheng really earned 2,400 yuan!
What a huge sum of money!
Fang Zhuo was a little envious and jealous, but he understood that this required connections and abilities, which he didn't have at the moment. However, it also gave him a direction.
Since Jia Dongsheng was able to get everyone in a commune to help him hunt, could he also find a commune or a brigade to do the same?
Li Huaide had no idea what Fang Zhuo was thinking, but even if he knew, he would only be happy. The factory was not short of money, but of meat.
If Fang Zhuo had Jia Dongsheng's ability and could help the factory purchase so much meat, then purchasing it at a 50% premium would be very worthwhile.
"Well, I'll go with you to the cafeteria to greet them. They've sent so much prey, so we should make some good friends. They'll probably choose our factory next time."
"Director Li is right."
What else could Fang Zhuo say? Of course, whatever Director Li said was the final word.
