Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

The Palace Museum has been renovated and reopened to the public. Although there are not many fine exhibitions on display, it is still worth seeing. The most important thing is that the classification is very detailed and accurate.

How could Xu Damao miss such a good opportunity? He had a pass, so he didn't even have to buy a ticket.

It just so happened that work was not very busy during this period. For the people in the factory propaganda department, there was basically nothing important to do, not to mention that Xu Damao was a projectionist. He now focused his main energy on the museum and basically came here every afternoon to report. It turned out that the people he had the most contact with at the museum were teachers Ruan Fangshui and Yu Pulin.

Mr. Ruan specializes in porcelain, while Mr. Yu specializes in the arrangement and restoration of miscellaneous items, especially carvings, of which he is an absolute expert. He has mastered so many bamboo, wood, ivory and horn carvings that even he himself does not know.

Yu Pulin liked Xu Damao very much. He thought Xu Damao was very smart and good at studying, and was worthy of his training. So when Xu Damao sent food to his home before the New Year, he also said a lot of sweet words to Xu Damao, telling him that if Xu Damao wanted to collect antiques, he could focus on one, after all, his energy and financial resources were limited.

He also lent his own experience and some professional books to Xu Damao. Of course, the books had to be returned. He could make copies, but the originals had to be returned.

With someone to guide you, you will make rapid progress. It has been three years since Xu Damao met Teacher Hu Tianhua. In addition to his own rural life and the recycling of materials, Zhang Lingyun helped him collect things, and he was able to get started with a lot of things. Of course, this is inseparable from Xu Damao's extensive knowledge of history and literature. Is there any spiritual energy? Of course, there is, otherwise I would not have been admitted to Beijing Normal University.

A teacher is someone who teaches, imparts knowledge and resolves doubts. Xu Damao now has someone to teach, impart knowledge and resolve doubts, so his progress is fast. "Rapid progress" can definitely be used to describe him now.

The museum's collections broadened his horizons.

Because of the tight schedule every day, time seems to pass very quickly. In the blink of an eye, spring has arrived, the temperature has gradually risen, and the capital city has begun to be covered with green again.

The factory also started to get busy. Li Huaide actually gave Xu Damao a task even though he didn't go to the countryside to show movies.

"Xiao Xu, let's see. Right now, there is a shortage of supplies across the country. Although our factory is currently undertaking an important task, we will not be short of supplies, but there is a first-come, first-served issue. During this period of time, you can contact all the supply-related units of our logistics. If they want to watch a movie, we will show it for them. If they want to come to the factory for a meal, we will treat them. Ensure that the logistics supplies can arrive on time, and you will have done a great job. You can work at your own pace, but the business units must be well maintained. Can you do it?"

"Director Li, don't worry. Just give me a list and I will definitely make this happen for you."

Li Huaide handed the two pages of the list that had been prepared to Xu Damao, who folded them solemnly and put them in his pocket before leaving.

From the moment he walked out of the office, Xu Damao didn't expect that he felt like he had changed his job, from a film projectionist to a buyer.

It is a bit busy, but there are benefits as well.

Xu Damao returned to the information room and looked at the list given by Li Huaide. Most of them were material supply units, including those from the Grain Bureau, the Commercial Bureau, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the Material Transport Department, the Food Factory, the Textile Factory, ... basically everything related to food and clothing.

Xu Damao was delighted when he saw the two complete sheets of paper with contact persons, phone numbers and addresses of dozens of material production and supply units.

This is a gold mine. It depends on how Xu Damao digs it.

Soon, Xu Damao got into the role.

After running around for a week and contacting more than a dozen important units with asterisks, I went to the Dongcheng Material Transport Office in the second week. After a round of greetings and introductions, Fan Changlong, the section chief of the Transport Office, said to Xu Damao,

"Secretary Xu, indeed, your factory does have a quota for a batch of salted dried kelp next month, and the quantity is five tons. However, Secretary Xu, our transport department can only give you four and a half tons, and we have to reserve half a ton for transfer to other units. Do you want to report this matter and reply? Or can you sign and confirm this number now so that we can prepare early and your factory can send a truck to pick it up at the appointed time next month?"

Xu Damao had already received Li Huaide's promise in this regard, and he immediately agreed that he could make the decision.

This really makes Fan Changlong look more highly upon.

Xu Damao signed the document according to the instructions given by Section Chief Fan, but he did not leave immediately. He always felt that there was something fishy going on. However, he had been in the system for four or five years, and he had seen and heard of many tricks in the future.

"Chief Fan, thank you for your joint transport department's strong support for our Red Star Factory. Our factory is now burdened with a heavy task, and some parts need to be produced on time, so the food and clothing guarantee for the employees is particularly important. Since it's almost time for dinner, how about I do you a favor and invite you to have a meal together at the restaurant outside?"

Fan Changlong had never seen Xu Damao invite him to dinner. Generally, if you give less materials to a large enterprise, it would be good if they don't stick to you and make trouble. This is still polite to invite him to dinner. Not bad.

Xu Damao knew that he had to treat everyone, so he treated everyone well. The dishes were three dishes and one soup, with meat, fish, and vegetables, and Fenjiu. After eating and drinking together for an hour, Fan Changlong and Xu Damao became close friends.

Xu Damao wanted to take the drunk Fan Changlong back to work, but Fan Changlong refused. He patted Xu Damao on the shoulder.

"Brother, next month, you must come on time to pick up the 4.5 tons of cargo. However, if the price of the remaining half-ton cargo is raised by 30%, I will still sell it to you, but the original price will be on the invoice. Do you understand me?"

Xu Damao couldn't understand what this meant, he wasn't stupid. My goodness, the official supply price of this salted kelp is now 1.2 yuan per catty, 30%, that is, 3.6 yuan, half a ton, and 36 yuan more.

The account was still balanced, and there was no such account for thirty-six yuan. This was not a small amount.

Xu Damao's meal today was worth it. He had originally wanted to ask his company to reimburse him. Forget it. He thought about it and decided to eat the half ton of food himself.

There are still more than twenty days left, so there is plenty of time to prepare.

He suddenly felt that this era had opened a very friendly window for him.

Money is very important. Without money, you can't do anything. Although he knew that Lou Xiao'e was rich, he really didn't want to rely on her too much. If a man relies too much on a woman, he will lose his dignity. He had to take risks to make money. Only with money can you buy a courtyard house, buy antiques, and wait for the price to rise, so that you can live comfortably in the near future.

Today, Fan Changlong taught Xu Damao a very profound lesson: no matter when, interests are always the biggest temptation.

Yes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

As long as the operation is done properly, Fan Changlong can dig out more shares. Didn't you hear him say that according to the rules, a part of it must be reduced and always ready to be given to units in need. What a high-sounding reason. Which unit needs it is still up to Fan Changlong himself or his group to decide.

Xu Damao understood it immediately.

Although he was a little drunk, his mind was clear.

This is a huge window; a window to the world.
