If there was no other way, who would be willing to take the risk to do this?
Ye Zhiqiu whispered to everyone about the person he knew who was working in the black market in Tianjin and smuggling supplies back to the country.
Everyone was excited. After all, this was much easier for them than joining forces with the Second Textile Factory!
The main thing is to unite with them and make everyone feel aggrieved and bullied. They have to use their connections to get through and not be intercepted by the other side. They also need to pay back the favors they have spent.
But they, relying on their cloth, refused to be treated equally, charging a premium for it and even taking the lion's share of the grain they received in exchange! How could they tolerate this humiliation? So the talks ended in acrimony, no one wanting to endure this humiliation.
Liao Yegu slammed the table, startling Ye Zhiqiu. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Ye, don't worry about anything. Just contact those people and we'll buy their food!
The plan to form a joint fleet with the Second Textile Factory is now null and void! You only need to take the money and the fleet over there to transport the food back. This time, Lao Wu, you have to work harder and come with me. I will go and ask the old leader to say hello. We won't be bullied by them anymore! "
Wu Shengli stood up and said angrily, "Alright! I'll lead the team this time, and Xiaoye will be in charge of contacting and trading with the people over there! We can't stand this anymore. Screw the premium, screw the 60% share, let them have their fun!"
Watching the factory leaders cursing one after another, Ye Zhiqiu was a little confused! What kind of excessive conditions did they put forward to force these leaders to disregard their image and curse people?
Next, everyone asked Ye Zhiqiu how long it would take to contact the people over there so that the factory could get ready to set off.
Ye Zhiqiu thought that he couldn't act too quickly, as that would be a bit unreasonable, so he said to everyone, "I'm not sure either. How about I take care of this for the next two days? I'll let you know once I'm sure."
Chen Yimin nodded and said, "Okay, let's arrange it this way! Xiaoye, you go all out on this matter, and don't worry about the transport team for now. After all, 100,000 jins isn't too much, and 50,000 jins isn't too little. We'll take as much as we can!"
Is the brewery short of money?
Really not short of money!
According to the information Ye Zhiqiu learned, the amount of money the brewery submitted to the higher-level finance department at the end of last year was a full 530,000!
Therefore, the funds that the factory can mobilize are at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
But this wasn't food being traded on the black market, so the price couldn't be too high. Ye Zhiqiu was thinking about a suitable price, not too high, not too cheap either.
You should know that the food in Hong Kong can be sold at a price of more than 30 cents. If the price is too low, it is not smuggling, but charity!
Fortunately, there was still time for this matter, so he thought he could just think about it slowly. The meeting ended successfully.
Anyway, we have already discussed it here. When the time comes, we will dispatch a certain number of fleets for transportation based on the quantity and price of the other party.
At that time, Wu Shengli will lead the team, and he will only be responsible for customs clearance. After Ye Zhiqiu and other convoys arrive there, they will be responsible for negotiating with people.
He would take the money and drive to load the grain, and then drive an empty car with the money. He would come back with the grain and drive a second car to ensure everything was safe.
After returning to his own office in the transport brigade, Ye Zhiqiu sat on the chair and let out a long sigh. This was really fucked up!
For so long, I have been telling myself not to do anything rash, but the factory has forced me to do so again and again.
But now that things have come to this, if there's no escape, then let's do it! There's really no other way, the worst that can happen is to take my family and Feng Xiaomei and run to Hong Kong!
According to my aunt, my uncle is doing quite well in Hong Kong, and my cousins not only have many children but also have their own businesses.
Besides, Ye Zhiqiu knew that he was being restrained. If he were to go to a foreign country, he would not treat those people as human beings!
But he would never do such a thing in his own country, as he still has deep feelings for his nation and country.
A son will not dislike his mother's ugliness, and a dog will not dislike his family's poverty!
As I was smoking and thinking about things, time passed very quickly and the announcement of getting off work rang out.
Ye Zhiqiu put out his cigarette, stood up, and walked outside. He unlocked the bicycle shed, and Li Jie ran over. He whispered, "Brother Ye, this morning, our section chief said he was arranging a convoy to Sui County. How come he didn't notify us after get off work?"
Ye Zhiqiu asked in surprise, "What? Brother Li, were you assigned to follow the car?"
Li Jie smiled bitterly and said, "I don't need to make any arrangements. Usually, when a long-distance bus is taken, I, as the deputy section chief, have to accompany the bus and escort it. It's become a habit."
He hadn't heard of this, so Ye Zhiqiu whispered back, "We didn't reach an agreement, so we probably won't have to go to Sui County. We'll know where we're going in two days. I'll be following the car anyway, so don't worry. I'll let you know if there's any news."
Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he was an old man, he was still very nervous about running such a long-distance escort mission!
The main reason is that the people on this road are extremely tough and there are always bandits. What's more, supplies are so scarce now, and they are transporting food, so the risk factor is even higher.
If he had a choice, Li Jie would never want to run such a long distance, but he had no choice!
After chatting for a few sentences, someone came to push the bicycle, and the two of them stopped discussing the matter.
Ye Zhiqiu got on his bicycle and slowly rode back home. Ye Tianya had to wait in the guard room for Qian Dafu and the others to go back together.
When I got home, I heard voices coming from the kitchen. It seemed that it was the voices of Chen Yuqing and Wang Xiaolan after Wang Xiaolan got off work.
After Ye Zhiqiu parked his bicycle, he pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Feng Xiaomei was also there. He greeted the three of them and saw the dish stewed in the pot. It turned out to be dried fish, cabbage and tofu!
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said to Feng Xiaomei and her daughter, "I don't know what my mom was thinking yesterday. She stewed dried fish, cabbage, and tofu in a pot. It turned out to be surprisingly delicious! She said at the time that she wanted to stew it for Xiaomei to taste, and today she actually did it!"
Feng Xiaomei explained, "We can buy tofu over there today, and since we're planning to come over here for a few days, we decided to bring some with us."
Wang Xiaolan said proudly, "That's what they call a constant thought, and it will definitely pay off! I was thinking about stewing this dish for you guys to try, and you brought tofu with you. Wasn't it destined to be this dish? And this thing should be even better with rice, so I steamed rice tonight."
Chen Yuqing said happily, "Then I have to try it tonight to see what everyone likes."
