The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 192, not even giving a bone
Time flies, and more than a month has passed in a short time.

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

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 in it 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: "The factory director, the main reason is that the ration rations of urban residents have been reduced last month. Many employees don't have enough rations at home, so they are reluctant to eat more for lunch. The rest are brought home from the factory. As a result, I fainted from exhaustion during work.

Coupled with the current shortage of food, oil and water, it is difficult to maintain some high-intensity work such as foundry and forging, which seriously affects the production efficiency of the workshop, so the workshop has reflected it. I hope the logistics side can find a way, otherwise If this continues, the monthly production tasks will be difficult to complete. "

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 rolling mill has fixed production tasks every month. Although the materials have been reduced, the tasks have not been reduced. At the end of each month, the rolling mill still has to hand over homework to the superiors.

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 task is related to the performance evaluation of their leaders. If the production task cannot be completed due to logistical reasons, then he will be responsible for the delay in production.

Li Huaide's mind kept rolling, 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 operator on the switchboard helped to make the transfer, and soon connected to the director's office of the Fifth Meat Factory.

The No. [-] Meat Factory in the Imperial City, over to the factory manager'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 at this moment, and Director Gu, who had been annoyed by the leaders of various units all day, finally took a moment of leisure when he was interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing on the desk.

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

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"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.

"Old Gu, I haven't called you for a long time. Didn't I miss you? I have time to inspect our rolling mill and give me some guidance." Then Li Huaide began to make friends.

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 politeness, Li Huaide started to talk about business.

"Old Gu, you also know the situation in our rolling mill. The workers in the factory are basically engaged in heavy physical work. If the nutrition is not up to date, problems will easily occur."

At this time, Li Huaide performed with Director Gu through the telephone. The workers in the rolling mill are so miserable, so miserable, that they almost burst into tears.

"Please do me a favor, I don't want more, [-] jins! Just [-] 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 [-] 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 large and small in the entire imperial capital, all pointing to their several meat factories. Now there is a huge No. [-] meat factory that doesn't even have many slaughtering tasks for poultry and livestock. Where is he going to get [-] yuan for Li Huaide? Pounds of meat and bones.

Don't talk about meat and bones, now even the bones and dregs are reserved by units with strong relationships, so there is no unplanned oil and water.

Factory Director Gu had a headache. It was wrong to refuse, and it was wrong not to refuse. There was no way to please him 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.

"Kats Kats."

"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.
"Hello? Hey, old Gu, old Gu?"

"I am!"

Li Huaide threw the phone away angrily, and yelled at him regardless of the people in the office.

"What a hooker. Everyone at the wine table called each other brothers, wishing they could wear the same pair of pants. Now that they have something to ask for, they just pretend to be deaf and dumb, and use this kind of routine to fool me. He's a big man. 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 scolding for 2 minutes, Li Huaide stopped, took a few breaths, grabbed the enamel tube on the table and took a sip of tea.

In fact, there is no way to do it. The level of the meat joint factory is the same as that of the rolling mill. It is a department-level unit, but in the years when supplies are scarce, they are more popular than the rolling mills. They are a head higher than the rolling mills. If they are willing to talk to you, you can talk to them. You, if you don't want to talk to you, there is nothing you can do.

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

After venting his anger, Li Huaide remembered that Xiao Wu was still there, so he took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and adjusted his emotions: "Xiao Wu, it's okay, put the documents here first, and I'll think of a way later. "

"Yes, factory manager." Xiao Wu answered, turned and went out.

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

So he clapped his hands and quickly stopped Xiao Wu: "Wait a minute, Xiao Wu, go and call Deputy Section Li from the Security Section. I need to find him."

"Okay, director."
