Chapter 166: Playing Tricks
"Manager Liu, even if I can get the wood, you know that the railway station doesn't have our approval, so it's hard to get the wagons. And I know that the three northeastern provinces suffered a disaster this year. Even if I want to get the wood, I'm afraid the roads there are blocked."
Fan Jianguo exaggerated the problem, but the difficulty is a fact anyway.
Manager Liu smiled and said, "Xiao Fan, there are certainly difficulties, but we are socialist cadres and we must face them head-on. It is not our style to retreat when we encounter difficulties. Xiao Fan, I believe in you. I will give you a letter of introduction and a note. You can make the contact. From what I hear from you, you want to travel around the three provinces in the north and east.
This is a good idea. There are many forest farms over there. Although there was a disaster this year, there are always places that are not affected by disasters. If you go and take a look, you may be able to help our city solve this problem. Then you will be a great contributor to our city.
I patted my chest in front of my superiors and promised to complete the task. I believe you can do it. The more capable you are, the more work you will do. Xiao Fan, your work ability is one of the best in our entire industry.
Work hard, your future will definitely be bright, and my position will definitely be yours in the future, the young are really formidable."
Manager Liu wrote the letter of introduction and approval without any hesitation.
He didn't make things difficult for Fan Jianguo at all.
Anyone who hears this will see it as a model of leadership with a big picture.
When Fan Jianguo received the approval slip and letter of introduction, he cursed in his heart, thinking that this old fox had forced him into this position with just words, and he thought he didn't have the ability to do it.
It's really your fault that you are blind and crippled, which made you meet a fox ancestor.
"Manager Liu, you are flattering me. I don't have the ability to do this! If I really can't complete the task, you will have to bear the consequences."
Fan Jianguo looked so embarrassed, like a complete coward.
"Xiao Fan, that won't do. I know your abilities, and you must complete the task. Let me tell you, if you fail to complete the task, I will hold you responsible! I have already made a promise in front of the city leaders. When the time comes, if I am held responsible, I can't escape, and neither can you. If you don't complete this task, I tell you come back, and I will fire you as the director."
Manager Liu spoke half-truthfully, and his original purpose was to bring down Fan Jianguo.
Do you really think that with just a broken phone you can sit in this position forever?
I’m afraid that once you sit on it, you won’t be able to sit steadily.
Look, it’s not stable now!
Don't even look at who is in charge.
Fan Jianguo looked embarrassed. "Manager Liu, I will try my best, but it is true that the three provinces in the northeast and northeast have been hit by disasters this year. And I really don't know what the situation is over there! I have made several phone calls, and my friends over there said that because of the serious disaster, all the forest farms have closed the roads.
I'm afraid this is really difficult, all I can say is give it a try."
Manager Liu laughed and said, "Don't praise me anymore. I know who you are. I told you this, this is a military order. If you can't complete the task, I will really fire you. This is not a joke.
Don’t let me down! Don’t let the leaders above you down either.”
Fan Jianguo sighed and had to go out with the approval slip and letter of introduction.
As soon as Fan Jianguo left, Manager Liu put away the smile on his face.
"Bah! You dare to take on this porcelain job without the diamond drill? I'll let you know why the flowers are so red."
Pick up the phone and call your friend at the train station.
"There is a man named Fan Jianguo in our department store. If he comes with a permit and asks you for a carriage, you cannot approve it."
"Why?"
"You don't know that Fan Jianguo is very undisciplined under my command and always likes to show off. How can I not teach such a person a lesson? Just remember not to give him the wagons, and don't worry about the rest. We are not doing anything illegal or criminal.
Don't worry, how could I possibly get you into trouble?"
"By the way, the Panasonic TV you mentioned last time, the 18-inch color TV, will be arriving in two days, come pick it up then. We are friends for so many years, don't worry, I take your affairs to heart."
Coercion and inducement.
"That's fine. It's just a matter of not approving it. It's nothing! Just wait for me. I will make sure it's done for you."
…………
After getting the letter of introduction and the approval letter, Fan Jianguo went straight to buy a train ticket to go to Kenqing Farm.
Although Jiang Xiaoxiao said it was all good and Mu Tou would arrive soon, he knew in his heart that if he didn't go in person to meet and take over the matter, there might be problems.
This is what they should do as salespeople.
After buying the train ticket, he made four or five phone calls.
Being able to reach the position of Director of the Supply and Marketing Department, the network of contacts I have made is vastly different from before.
These people were leaders of some companies and the Foreign Trade Bureau in the city whom he met after he became the director of the Supply and Marketing Section. Of course, they all had the same channels as him. To put it bluntly, they were all in the same circle, and they shared information with each other and could help each other with any problems.
Of course, one person cannot defeat so many people alone.
Sure enough, when he told the story, many people were surprised.
You should know that the tasks assigned by the city are not just about receiving foreign guests.
Every company and unit of theirs needs wood, but wood is not something you can get just by wanting it.
Many people have to use their connections to find people and get approval from others to get these things.
Especially in winter, wood is a hot commodity, because in winter, the mountains are often closed due to heavy snow at this time of year, and many forest farms cannot transport wood. So this thing is really a hot commodity.
It’s a good thing that you can’t get even if you have money or approval.
As soon as everyone heard that Fan Jianguo had connections, they immediately started thinking about it.
The result was like a snowball, and the number of square meters of wood that Fan Jianguo needed was increasing.
Fan Jianguo thought for a moment and felt that it would be inappropriate to just go there empty-handed. Jiang Xiaoxiao could guess without him saying anything that they had started exchanging wood for food.
So what the three northeastern provinces are short of now is food.
But it’s a little better on their side.
I have a few friends who work at the grain station.
If we use the money from the wood to exchange for some food and transport it over for barter, I'm afraid the forest farm will welcome it very much.
My niece should be valued by others there, so isn't there a shortage of food in the production team?
They were so happy that they had food, how could they not be willing?
I have to say that Fan Jianguo really has a good idea.
By then, it will be considered as paving the way for Jiang Xiaoxiao. If anything good happens in the future, the production team leader will not be able to ignore Jiang Xiaoxiao.
As his uncle, how could he not understand this?
Jiang Xiaoxiao originally wanted to keep it a secret from both sides, but unexpectedly, Fan Jianguo actually helped her to obtain more than 5,000 kilograms of grain.
Fan Jianguo had made the arrangements, so he took the approval slip to the train station to find the director of the freight office.
The freight office said directly that their director was on a business trip and would not be back for three to five days.
Fan Jianguo was a little anxious, as he was taking the night train tonight. How could he survive if the grain wasn't delivered as soon as he got on the train?
After haggling with the freight office staff for quite some time, I finally got two packs of Marlboro.
The staff of the freight office secretly revealed to him that their freight director was not on a business trip, but went home specifically to avoid him.
He still needed to think of a way to deal with the issue of the carriage and figure out if he had offended anyone.
If you offend someone, just apologize immediately and let the matter go. After all, they often come and go from the station.
Fan Jianguo knew in his heart that it must be his manager Liu who did it.
Otherwise, the director of the freight station has a good relationship with him, so how could he do this?
Most people don't want to offend the sales staff. After all, no one can ask for help from anyone else.
Now I am really at a loss.
