Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Xu Damao didn't expect that Cui Dake had so many similar experiences with him.

In particular, Cui Dake had a broken finger, and Xu Damao also had a missing ear.

Both of them are physically disabled, and the more they talk, the more they feel that they met too late.

Cui Dake finally took the opportunity to put forward his own ideas.

After the steel rolling mill merged with several small factories, the two worked together privately and acted in unison towards the outside world.

Xu Damao agreed to this matter after a little thought.

This matter will only benefit him, but of course he will not really open his heart to Cui Dake.

He believed that if one day their interests conflicted, Cui Dake would be the first to stab him in the back.

Just like he would be the first to backstab the other person.

The plastic friendship between the two is only maintained by common interests.

Li Huaide reached a preliminary agreement with a number of factory committee directors.

In the following period of time, the steel rolling mill began large-scale personnel changes.

Li Huaide also took the opportunity to place a large number of his own confidants and relatives in key departmental positions.

Just as Li Huaide said, Xu Damao's greatest ability is to bring down anyone he wants.

During this period, Xu Damao defeated several workshop directors, a deputy factory director and several department heads.

Most of those people were Director Yang's men or neutrals.

Anyway, anyone who is not in the same mind as Li Huaide will be defeated.

Even Wang Jianjun's purchasing department was affected.

Because Chief Wu of the Purchasing Department was also knocked down.

Section Chief Wu replaced Li Xinmin in the Purchasing Department. He is from Director Yang's faction.

In theory, the purchasing department is under the management of logistics, and logistics is Li Huaide’s base camp.

The things purchased by the Purchasing Department are specifically for serving those leaders.

There was no need for Li Huaide to overthrow Section Chief Wu.

So when Wang Jianjun learned that Section Chief Wu had been brought down, he was somewhat puzzled.

Section Chief Wu and Wang Jianjun have a good relationship.

This Section Chief Wu, like the previous Section Chief Wang, has always taken good care of Wang Jianjun.

Section Chief Wang was not much better off. He was also knocked down and sent to the sanitation department to sweep the floor with Section Chief Wu.

And Wang Jianjun happened to know the person who replaced Section Chief Wu.

Li Yuanfang.

The two newcomers I chose at the beginning.

One is MCA and the other is Li Yuanfang.

Ma Hua is almost becoming his brother-in-law now.

As for Li Yuanfang, his relationship with him became distant because he had defected to Li Xinmin.

Later, when Li Xinmin was transferred, Wang Jianjun never thought of making things difficult for him.

But I didn’t expect that this guy would actually get close to Li Huaide.

Now he is the head of the purchasing department.

This guy changed his face immediately after he became the head of the purchasing department.

Wang Jianjun felt a little uncomfortable with the way he looked down on others.

Li Huaide's main purpose of replacing the people in the warehouse and purchasing department with his own people was actually to make money more easily.

Li Huaide had previously obtained a lot of gold bars and antique jades through house searches.

But he couldn't keep copying.

After all, rich people are only a minority. In more than a year, Li Huaide copied everyone around him who he could.

There are risks in doing this too much.

There was a director of a certain committee who took advantage of the house searches to gain personal benefits, but ended up being reported and imprisoned.

Li Huaide has finally achieved what he has today, and he doesn't want to give it all up.

So he turned his attention to steel mills.

Li Huaide originally worked in logistics, so he naturally knew how much grain and meat a factory with 10,000 employees consumed every month.

There are also things purchased from the purchasing department.

There is a lot of room for maneuver here.

As long as you slightly modify the account numbers and do a good job of accounting, you can earn hundreds to thousands of dollars every month.

This method was learned and perfected by Li Huaide and Cui Dake.

Ever since Cui Dake became the director of the committee, he even came up with a special "bitter memory rice" to make money.

The white flour steamed bread in the cafeteria was directly replaced with wild vegetable steamed bread made with wild vegetables mixed with corn flour.

Wild vegetables are not valuable, but 70% of this steamed bun is made of wild vegetables.

Only those who have eaten this thing know how disgusting it is.

During the three-year disaster, many people survived by relying on this thing.

It is politically correct to eat this thing to recall the past.

Cui Dake originally wanted to save most of the grain by this method and resell it for money.

But there just happened to be a Nan Yi who went against him.

Nan Yi was a kind-hearted person. He sympathized with the workers' poor food, so he tried to find a way to improve the wild vegetable steamed bread.

After some attempts to improve the recipe, the wild vegetable steamed bread turned out to be so delicious that even people who had eaten it felt that white flour steamed bread was not as delicious.

So much so that the workers lined up to buy the wild vegetable steamed bread that day, and Nan Yi had no choice but to buy it.

When Cui Dake saw what was going on, he immediately stopped Nan Yi and sent him to do odd jobs, and found a kitchen helper to make wild vegetable steamed buns.

Although the kitchen helper kept saying that he didn't know how to cook, the more he said so, the more Cui Dake asked him to do it.

It’s right that you can’t do it. That’s what we want.

The wild vegetable steamed bread that was finally made was so unpalatable.

It's almost on par with Goubuli.

Cui Dake also deliberately put a lot of sand in it, making it hard, throat-irritating and teeth-grinding to eat.

Even dogs wouldn't eat this kind of food. Many workers were unhappy and started making a fuss in the cafeteria.

But Cui Dake's few politically correct words left people speechless.

You dare to question this bitter rice? Then you are a hedonist, a posture-seeker.

Who can bear to be accused of such a big crime?

The workers thought it was better to do less than more and either endured it and ate the wild vegetable steamed bread, or brought their own food.

Cui Dake took the opportunity to sell the excess food to Pigeon City and make a fortune.

Cui Dake's action also gave Li Huaide an inspiration.

He greatly appreciated Cui Dake's approach of recalling the bitter past and thinking of the sweet present, and expressed his desire to promote and learn from it in the steel rolling mill and other branches.

And asked Cui Dake to come to the steel rolling mill to specifically guide this work.

Cui Dake was a little surprised at first, wondering if Li Huaide was out of his mind to actually want to promote his Yikusihan rice.

But after talking for a while, he finally understood what Li Huaide meant. It turned out that Director Li wanted to make money just like him.

Cui Dake was delighted. Li Huaide's greedy look was exactly what he wanted.

He immediately patted his chest and promised to do a great job.
