Sail across the sea

Chapter 226 Uncle He Is Really Tall
"Uncle He, do you mean that Mr. Liao is hinting at me?" Gao Fan asked.

He Jinbao nodded: "It's obvious. He doesn't need to tell you what he does after get off work. But he specifically said that he would go to the black market to buy eggs and oil. Isn't that implying you?"

"That is to say, he dare not take money, but if I give him some eggs and oil, he will take it."

"Yeah, it's definitely not acceptable to collect money, but if you collect some souvenirs, it's just a courtesy, which can happen to any unit, and it doesn't violate the principle."

"So, Uncle He, you also accepted it?"

"This one……"

He Jinbao made an embarrassing look, groaned for a while, and then said: "Our office, which is a Qingshui Yamen, no one will give us things. However, sometimes the brothers' units walk around each other and send some local specialties , such things are inevitable.

"A small specialty product is not worth much. The main reason is that if you don't accept it, people will think you look down on him, which will be bad. Our office is to deal with people, and we can't do without good relations. ,is not it?"

"Ha, don't be nervous, Uncle He, I didn't mean to say you're wrong." Gao Fan comforted with a smile.

He Jinbao's performance just now is actually more acting than real.As he said, the office is a department that deals with people. During the holidays, He Jinbao is responsible for giving gifts to some units in the province. He also needs to contact suppliers and customers at ordinary times. Gift giving and receiving are commonplace.

Fertilizer is a commodity that is in short supply. Some cadres in the unit live in the countryside and need to buy some fertilizer, so they will find the office through their connections.Out of the consideration of building a relationship, the office will naturally meet their requirements, but these cadres will often send some gifts to the person in charge, that is, He Jinbao, "meaning", this is completely an open secret.

He Jinbao put on an embarrassing look in front of Gao Fan, in order to prove that he is not good at receiving gifts, and occasionally he has no choice but to do so.In fact, Gao Yiping knew these things a long time ago. As long as He Jinbao didn't go too far, the factory would not pursue it. Gao Yiping understood the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

Even so, He Jinbao must do the necessary gesture, which is also a kind of routine.

"Do you think Mr. Liao will be satisfied by giving him some eggs and tea oil?" Gao Fan returned to the topic and sincerely asked He Jinbao for advice.

He realized that the saying that three people must have my teacher is really too wise.Such an office director who usually looks harmless to humans and animals can teach himself so much valuable knowledge.

"Since he said this, we can try it first. Later, I asked someone to ask where Mr. Liao lived, and then we bought 10 catties of eggs and 5 catties of tea oil, and said it was a door-to-door visit. Visiting, no one can say anything." He Jinbao suggested.

He said "we" one by one, and he had already placed himself among Gao Fan's subordinates.He saw what Gao Fan did in the labor service company.In fact, the cadres and workers of the fertilizer factory have already discussed in private, saying that Lao Gao's son is more capable than Lao Gao, and that he may be able to take over from Lao Gao in the future and become the director of the fertilizer factory.

He Jinbao is a well-rounded person, so there is no reason why he didn't flatter him early.

"How much is 10 catties of eggs and 5 catties of camellia oil worth? He told me that if the trip to Cangtang is just a business trip subsidy, an extra 15 yuan a month is meaningless," Gao Fan said.

He Jinbao smiled and said: "It's not easy. As long as he accepts the eggs and tea oil, it means he has agreed to do this. He dare not accept money, but he dares to accept souvenirs. 10 catties of eggs Not enough, we can add more, 10 catties per month, plus 10 catties of meat, 10 catties of fish, a chicken, a salted duck, 20 catties of rice noodles..."

"Enough is enough..." Gao Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this wouldn't be Lao He's ideal in life. When he talked about these chickens, ducks and fish, tears of excitement dripped from the corners of his mouth.

"You mean, just send some souvenirs?"

"Other things are fine. For example, he does research every day, so it's normal to give him a watch to keep track of the time, right? It's normal to send a bicycle when he works in other places and it's inconvenient to commute to and from get off work, right? After working, the things are worn out, and it’s useless for the company to take them back. Let him buy them at a discounted price. It’s okay to take them home and use them, or else..."

"Here, I'll give you the pen, and you write!"

Gao Fan directly took the pen and paper from the desk and handed it to He Jinbao.

Who are you, you are the author... Ah no, you are the protagonist or I am the protagonist, why do you have more lines than me!

He Jinbao laughed loudly and said, "Xiao Gao, let me tell you, in principle, things are dead and people are alive, as long as they are willing to find a way, the living will definitely not be suffocated to death by urine.

"This Liao Derong, I also see through it, is just an old fritter. He refuses to tell you these methods, because he is worried that you are too young and don't know the rules, and you will mess things up when the time comes.

"Let me make a bet with you, if you don't talk to him from now on, he will take the initiative to contact you in three days at most. Like him, the family's finances must be very tight , looking forward to a chance to earn some extra money.

"You don't need to satisfy him now, and catch him slowly. If he does a good job, you reward him. If he doesn't do a good job, you pretend that you forgot what you should give him."

"Tall! Uncle He is really tall!" Gao Fan raised a thumbs up and praised.

Speaking of this, Gao Fan really understands these routines of the city people.You can't touch money, and if you touch money, you won't be able to tell.Anything other than money can be regarded as souvenirs, and it’s okay to charge a little appropriately, and the standard of “appropriate” is also very broad.

Things other than souvenirs can be regarded as treatment, such as watches, bicycles, and work clothes.Gao Fan even thought, if it doesn't work, let Lao Liao go to Hong Kong Island to inspect foreign equipment. Is there anything wrong with that?
The most magical point is the routine that He Jinbao said to buy at a discounted price. This is really a great invention.Give you the watch you use at work. After you leave the job, this watch is also old and can no longer be used by others. Well, you pay 5 yuan to buy it, and the watch will belong to you.

From a financial point of view, everything is reasonable and there is nothing irregular.As for how old this watch is, that is a matter of opinion.

Hearing Gao Fan's praise, He Jinbao's face glowed, and he waved his hands and said modestly:

"What kind of high am I? You, Xiao Gao, are young enough to be able to sell things to Japan and make money from the little devils. That's what you call high. I'm just thick-skinned and help your father run around the province. These relationships, do something to serve people, nothing else will work."
