The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 192, not even a bone

Time flew by, and more than a month passed quickly.

The reduction of rations for the residents of the imperial capital has subsided, but the impact is still slowly brewing quietly.

Steel rolling mill, factory office building.

In front of the deputy director's office on the fourth floor.

Secretary Xiao Wu knocked on the door with a bunch of documents in his arms.

"Please come in."

"Director." Xiao Wu pushed the door in familiarly and closed the door smoothly.

When Li Huaide heard the sound, he looked up and saw that it was his secret skill Xiao Wu who had come in. He put down the documents in his hand and asked with a smile: "It's Xiao Wu. What's the matter?"

"Director, this is about the canteen. Several workshops have reported that workers have fainted from hunger during work. I hope the logistics department can find a way to increase the nutritional supply of lunch." As he spoke, Xiao Wu walked closer and put his hands on The documents inside were handed over.

Li Huaide took the document handed over by Xiao Wu, glanced at it briefly, frowned and asked: "Isn't the food allocated for this monthly ration already in the warehouse? Each canteen has a planned daily ration expenditure. How could this happen? Are workers fainting from hunger?”

Xiao Wu looked bitter and explained: "Director, the main reason is that the rations for urban residents were reduced last month. Many employees did not have enough rations at home, so they were reluctant to eat more for lunch. The rest were taken home from the factory. The result was fatigue and fainting during work.

Coupled with the current lack of food, oil and water, it is difficult to maintain some high-intensity work such as sand foundry and forging, which seriously affects the production efficiency of the workshop. Therefore, the workshop has reflected this, and I hope the logistics side will find a way, otherwise it will not happen again. If this continues, it will be difficult to complete the monthly production tasks. "

Li Huaide put down the document in his hand, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and remained silent.

The current environment is difficult, and every unit is similar. The support that superiors can provide is very limited. Most difficulties have to be overcome by your own unit. But now everyone is tightening their belts, and it is not easy to get unplanned supplies. .

As the head of logistics, he had already expected the situation in the factory, but he did not expect it to be so serious and have affected production efficiency.

The steel rolling mill has fixed production tasks every month. Although the materials have been reduced, the tasks have not been reduced. The steel rolling mill still has to submit the work to the superior leaders at the end of each month.

The more Li Huaide thought about it, the uglier his face became. For the first time, he felt that his position was a bit hot. Although it was good to be in charge of logistics and had a lot of power and money, he was also under a lot of pressure, especially in the current season.

The monthly production tasks are related to the performance evaluation of their leaders. If the production tasks cannot be completed due to logistical reasons, he will be blamed for delaying production.

Li Huaide's mind kept churning, silently thinking about who could help.

After pondering for a moment, Li Huaide thought of the leader of a cooperative unit with whom he usually had a good relationship, so he picked up the old-fashioned telephone on the table and shook the number, deciding to give him a try and ask for a favor.

After a while, the switchboard operator helped transfer the call, and he was quickly connected to the director's office of the Fifth Meat Factory.

The Fifth Meat Factory in the Imperial Capital, this side of the factory director's office.

Factory Director Gu has also been a little anxious recently. Due to the lack of supplies, he has been calling more and more to seek favors. Every morning after work, his phone calls have not stopped, and they are all asking for meat.

The interpersonal relationships in the officialdom are intricately intertwined. It's not right to refuse, but it's not right not to refuse, which has made him very irritable recently.

It was almost time to get off work. Factory Director Gu, who had been annoyed by the leaders of various units all day, finally took a moment to take a break, but was interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing on his desk.

Director Gu rubbed his eyebrows and walked to the phone impatiently and picked up the receiver.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Lao Gu, I am Li Huaide."

"Oh, Lao Li, haha, why did you call me when you had time?" Director Gu smiled politely and became wary at the same time.

"Lao Gu, I haven't called you for a long time. I miss you. Come to our rolling mill to inspect and give some guidance when you are free." Then Li Huaide began to build relationships and get closer.

As soon as Lao Gu heard this, his head started to hurt.

Well, here comes another person asking for supplies.

He was so familiar with these routines that he could recite three or five of them with his eyes closed, but few had any new tricks.

Sure enough, after the polite exchanges, Li Huaide got down to business.

"Lao Gu, you also know the situation in our steel rolling mill. The employees in the factory are basically engaged in heavy physical work. If the nutrition cannot keep up, it is easy to cause problems."

At this time, Li Huaide told Factory Director Gu through the phone, how miserable and miserable the workers in the steel rolling mill were, and he almost burst into tears.

"Please do me a favor, I don't want more, 30,000 jins! Just 30,000 jins of unplanned meat bones! I also know that your meat joint factory is in trouble, and I don't want your fresh meat. You can give me some meat bones, and it will last for the time being. Just get over this difficulty. You can ask for anything. As long as it can be done, we at the steel rolling mill will have nothing to say."

Director Gu couldn't help but frown wildly after hearing Li Huaide's request. With 30,000 kilograms of meat and bones, he really dared to speak.

Now let alone thirty thousand kilograms of meat and bones, he doesn't even have three hundred kilograms of clean bones.

There are hundreds of units in the entire imperial capital, all pointing to their few meat factories. Now there is a huge fifth meat factory, which does not even have many tasks of slaughtering poultry and livestock. Where can he get 30,000 yuan for Li Huaide? Kilograms of meat and bones.

Not to mention meat and bones, now even the bones and scum are booked by units with strong connections, so there is no unplanned profit and water.

Factory Director Gu has a headache. It's not good to refuse, and it's not good to not refuse. He can't get anything good from inside or outside.

Director Gu has been dealing with this situation for a while and is considered experienced. He hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes, put the microphone away, found a blank piece of paper, and rubbed it into the microphone. stand up.

"Katsu katsu."

"Hello, hello, Lao Li? Can you hear me?" Then there was a "click" and the phone was hung up on him.

Immediately afterwards, the phone line was unplugged, and I went straight to get off work, loving it.

"Hello? Hello. Lao Gu Lao Gu?"

"I'm sorry!!"

Li Huaide threw the phone away angrily and cursed without caring that there were still people in the office.

"What a hook. Everyone at the wine table calls each other brothers and wishes they could wear the same pair of trousers. Now that they have something to ask for, they pretend to be deaf and mute and use this trick to fool me. What a big factory. Long, don’t even give me a bone#￥%@”

Xiao Wu on the side saw that Li Huaide was so angry that he didn't dare to speak. He shrunk his head and stood aside honestly, waiting for him to turn off the engine.

After cursing for two minutes, Li Huaide stopped, took a few deep breaths, grabbed the enamel tube on the table and took a deep sip of tea.

In fact, there is nothing you can do about it. The meat factory is a department-level unit like the steel rolling mill. However, in the years when supplies were scarce, it was more popular than the steel rolling mill. You were a head above others. If they wanted to talk to you, just talk to them. You, if you don’t want to talk to you, there’s nothing you can do about it.

There are unplanned supplies, but there are not many people. Whether they can get them or not depends on the relationship and whether they are strong or not. Since his family knows his own affairs, Li Huaide can only curse a few words.

After venting his anger, Li Huaide then remembered that Xiao Wu was still there, so he took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, adjusted his mood and said, "Xiao Wu, it's okay. Leave the documents here with me for now. I'll think of a solution later. "

"Yes, factory director." Xiao Wu responded, turned around and went out.

Just when Xiao Wu was about to walk to the door, Li Huaide suddenly remembered that he seemed to have other channels, and there was no need to lick his face to ask for help.

So he clapped his hands and called Xiao Wu quickly: "Hey, wait a minute, Xiao Wu, go and call Deputy Li of the Security Department. I have something to ask him."

"Okay, director."
