The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Yes, this is our letter of introduction. We are from the Sijiucheng Steel Rolling Mill. Our factory director should have spoken to Director Lin Feng on the phone."

Liu Minghui answered politely.

"Okay then, you guys wait here, I'll go in and report."

After reading the letter of introduction, the young man spoke to several people.

After a few minutes, the man came out and said to Liu Minghui: "Go in, go to the left, the first office is Director Lin's office."

The young man showed them the way and let them in.

"Thank you, comrade."

Liu Minghui and Wang Wen walked in. It seemed that the management of the port was quite strict, and large trucks entering and leaving needed to be inspected and registered.

Several people came to the door of the port administration office. Liu Minghui knocked on the door and waited.

"You are sent by Director Li, right? Please come in."

A man in his thirties opened the door, looked at the few people and let them in.

"Hello, Director Lin, I'm Liu Minghui, the deputy director of the purchasing department of the steel mill. Director Li sent me here."

After Liu Minghui sat down, he introduced himself.

"The two people next to me are my colleagues who came here with me."

"I see. Director Li also told me about this. We talked on the phone yesterday."

Lin Feng nodded, indicating that he knew a few of them.

"Director Lin, we are all here now, so let's talk about the supplies first."

Liu Minghui didn't want to talk too much, so he got straight to the point.

"No problem, I'll take you there later. The fishing boats are almost back now."

Lin Feng also said directly.

He also introduced the surrounding situation. Because there are many small fishing villages near the sea and a lack of arable land, each village has many fishing boats that go out to sea to fish.

When I was talking on the phone with Li Huaide some time ago, I heard Li Huaide say that the steel rolling mill needed it, so I planned to make some connections and take Liu Minghui to a few fishing villages later.

"Thank you very much."

Liu Minghui expressed his gratitude and said that it would be much easier with someone leading the way.

After sitting for a while, several people came to a small pier under the leadership of Lin Feng. This is the place for these fishing villages to go out to sea.

When the few people arrived here, a ship happened to dock.

"Director Lin, how come you have time to come here today?"

As soon as Lin Feng came over, several people came over to greet him.

"These are the village heads from the nearby villages. This is the head of the purchasing department from the Sijiucheng Steel Mill. He wants to purchase a batch of fish from you. Please discuss it with us."

Lin Feng did not reply, but introduced both parties.

The old men's eyes lit up when they heard this. For a section chief of a steel plant, the purchase amount should not be a small amount.

"Comrade, no matter how much fish you need, we in Jinghai Village will provide it all."

This is what an old man in good spirits said directly.

"Hey, that's not very honest of you. I told you that we have all the Wanghai Village covered."

"It just so happens that this is my fishing boat unloading."

The old men nearby were unhappy and started to speak out.

Liu Minghui was stunned by what he saw. What he didn't know was that these fishing villages near the sea were very tired of these sea fishes. No one would be happy to eat these delicious things every day.

Everyone thinks that they can buy something after selling it.

"Everyone, please stop arguing. I only plan to purchase a truckload of goods this time. We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Liu Minghui could only give a few words of advice.

This time I only drove a car here, and it could only carry two thousand kilograms at most.

"Comrade, how much can it hold?"

A village chief asked Liu Minghui.

"About 2,000 kilograms. I don't know how the price was calculated."

"It's only two thousand kilograms. I'll charge you 20 cents per kilogram."

Said the man who was watching the fishing boat unloading.

"Sure, I'll drive the car over later, load the fish directly into the car and then take it back immediately, otherwise it will be bad if the fish die."

"Okay, comrade, you go drive."

Liu Minghui left Wang Wen and the other man to weigh the fish, then went to drive the car, which was still parked on the side of the road outside.

When Liu Minghui drove the car over, he saw them putting fish into baskets.

"Chief, these fish won't live long after coming up here, so we should hurry back."

Wang Wen walked over and said, these are sea fish, even if they are kept in the carriage they will not survive to the steel mill, so just put them in a basket.

"Well, I don't know where all the fish they caught went."

Liu Minghui shook his head and said, this is the only way now.

"There are several canneries nearby. We can ship these fish there and make them into canned food."

Wang Wen has already found out a lot of information.

"Well, watch them load the truck, and be sure to ask them for some ice to put on the truck."

Liu Minghui gave an instruction.

"Director Lin, it looks like we have to go back soon, otherwise it will be too late."

Liu Minghui said to Lin Feng who was standing aside and watching.

"That's fine. I was thinking of inviting Chief Liu to have dinner with us."

Lin Feng spoke politely.

"How can that be possible? Next time you come, I will have to treat you."

Liu Minghui and the other person chatted for about ten minutes while the loading of the truck was completed.

"Chief, we got it done."

Wang Wen shouted towards this side.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui looked at Lin Feng and said, "Director Lin, I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, come sit at my place next time you come."

After saying goodbye, Liu Minghui walked over to take a look and found that the truck was already fully loaded and the roof was covered.

"Let's go, get in the car."

Liu Minghui asked the two to get in the car.

After waiting for people to come up, Liu Minghui drove away from the port. He had just filled up the gas tank, so it should be no problem to return to the steel mill.

Then came the boring driving time. It was now past ten o'clock. If everything went well, we should be able to return to Sijiu City in the evening.

Liu Minghui drove carefully along the way, not as fast as when he came here, mainly because the car was fully loaded.

The road was bumpy, so Liu Minghui didn't dare drive too fast, otherwise he would overturn the car.

Nothing happened along the way, which made them feel much more at ease. They returned to Sijiu City around seven in the evening, which took them much longer than before.

Before Liu Minghui returned to the steel rolling mill, he drove back to the courtyard. He bought so many fish today, and the chief of Jinghai Village gave them a lot of gifts.

This part belongs to the extra income of several people and of course cannot be taken to the steel mill.

"Minghui, what are you doing?"

Yan Bugui, who heard the sound of a car, walked out to take a look, and saw Liu Minghui getting out of the car with a bag in his hand.

"Uncle, you went to Tianjin and bought some fish."

After saying that, Liu Minghui walked into the yard and headed towards his home.
