Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "They must have so much food. If they can't even get this much through smuggling, why would they engage in this business that could get them killed?"
Everyone laughed. Wang Laigui said, "Haha, Xiaoye, go talk to them. The factory's bottom line is 70 cents per jin, which is 1,400 yuan per ton. One hundred tons of grain costs a total of 140,000 yuan. Of course, if you can lower the price a bit and save the factory money, that would be even better."
Ye Zhiqiu asked worriedly, "The annual food quota for our factory is probably around 100 tons, right? If we bring back so much with such fanfare, won't the impact be too severe? I'm really worried that because of this contact, I'll be detained for questioning..."
Chen Yimin sighed and said, "Our factory's food shortage is already about 20 tons a year. It's impossible that they only provide 4 taels of grain per meal. Who among us can be full with 4 taels?
"Xiao Ye, don't worry about other things. Lao Wu will take the blame for this incident. The credit belongs to you, and the risk belongs to Lao Wu. We are not reckless people. We can't ask you to take risks and take the blame again."
Wu Shengli nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoye. I've made up my mind. If the old leader can't handle this matter, I can take on everything. I have a big favor that I owed you, and this favor can help me offset this matter, so you can rest assured."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Wu Shengli with curiosity, wondering how big a favor he had that he dared to say it could offset such a big thing.
Liao Yegu explained, "Xiao Ye, don't be curious about this. You just need to know that Lao Wu saved several lives on the battlefield before. Some things are not good to know. We are all in the same boat. We use our connections and favors to overcome difficulties together."
Since Liao Yegu said so, Ye Zhiqiu put aside his curiosity. He was not really afraid anyway. If it really didn't work, he would just run away with his family!
After some discussion, Ye Zhiqiu directly asked them to arrange a convoy to set off tomorrow morning and get there early. He would then go and contact the other side by himself.
So everyone got busy. Chen Yimin went to coordinate production arrangements, Liao Yegu went to contact people to borrow vehicles to transport the goods, and Wang Laigui went to the security department to coordinate the security of the escort personnel.
Wu Shengli was the most important, and he immediately set out to report the matter to his old leader. After all, the need for so much food must be to prepare a large batch for the old leader.
They only had a brewery, but their old leader was short of food in many other places.
The factory's goal was to keep 20 tons to fill the gaps and take another 10 tons as an emergency reserve. The rest should be handed over; no one could keep it all to themselves! Without higher-ups' approval, their trucks, loaded with food, wouldn't even be able to leave Tianjin.
As for Ye Zhiqiu, even the transport team wouldn't let him go back and directly drove him out of the factory to negotiate the transaction price of grain.
And who could Ye Zhiqiu talk to? Talk to himself?
But he was not idle either. After leaving the factory on his bicycle, he went to purchase a batch of sacks and had them delivered to a remote intersection.
Using the excuse that their factory's truck would be here soon, they unloaded the sacks from the tricycles and sent them away.
There are fifty sacks in a bundle, and there are a total of forty bundles of 2,000 sacks in total. We definitely won’t use so many, but it’s just to be prepared.
Ye Zhiqiu spent the entire afternoon in the space, fiddling with the task of loading the food. Fortunately, it didn't require much effort, otherwise he would have been exhausted to the point of vomiting blood.
One hundred tons of grain were packed into bags, and the entire space was now filled with bags, at least more than 1,100 bags.
After sending out his spiritual power and realizing that no one was around, Ye Zhiqiu took his bicycle and left the space. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
He put the prepared bacon and sausages into the basket of the cart. He made them himself in the space, and they were all dried in the sun, not smoked.
He got on his bicycle and rode back home.
When he returned home, he was surprised because Feng Xiaomei told him that there were guests at home.
After he walked in, he was surprised to find that the person who came was Chen Erbao!
Ye Zhiqiu was a little worried. It was impossible that he had just fabricated a smuggling gang and they would come to arrest him, right?
He forced a smile and asked, "Uncle Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Erbao nodded and gestured for him to sit down. Then he stood up and quietly asked the people in the living room to move aside and give them some private space to chat for a while.
After Chen Yuqing and the others left with worried expressions, the middle-aged man who came with Chen Erbao pulled out a manila envelope from his briefcase and said seriously, "Read it carefully and memorize everything on it. Remember the confidentiality clause and don't leak a single word of the information on it to anyone else!"
Ye Zhiqiu swallowed his saliva, wondering if they were so mysterious and had something to tell him.
But he had already realized by now that it was not because his handling of supplies had been discovered, but that the unit might be assigning him a task.
He opened the seal on the manila envelope, took out the contents and read them carefully.
As he flipped through the contents, his heart surged like waves!
Because these are the files of three people, one is the bald lurker, and two are traitors!
And without exception, these people have already fled the country and are currently in Hong Kong at that time!
When Ye Zhiqiu turned to the last page, his pupils suddenly dilated, because this was the Ye family's file!
Not only is all the information about the Ye family listed on it, but also the family member information of Ye Zhiqiu's grandfather, eldest aunt, second uncle, and third uncle are all written on it!
Seeing that it was written that Ye Tianya's real name was Ye Zuxin, Ye Zhiqiu swallowed hard. He tried hard to restrain himself and tried to suppress the urge to put Chen Erbao and the other man into the space to silence them.
He asked with difficulty: "So, Uncle Chen, are you coming here to arrest our Ye family?"
Chen Erbao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "Go to hell! If I were to arrest you, would I even need to show you this? Besides, your family is patriotic, why would I arrest you?
The senior leaders above have already labeled your grandfather a patriotic capitalist. From now on, your Ye family can disclose information openly and honestly, without having to hide it all day long! Regarding the Li family's affairs, our unit will take action and will not let those people take action against them again.
It was because the old man of the Ye family, who spent all his wealth to support our army, that we were able to purchase the necessary armaments and supplies. Plus, your second and third uncles have always contributed to the country, constantly helping to purchase the supplies needed domestically.
So your Ye family is different from the capitalists who were investigated. What's going on in your heads every day?"
