Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 86 It’s definitely not Lao Wu!

Yao Weijun came to the county today. In addition to purchasing mushroom strains, he also had to find relevant units to buy basswood sticks for cultivating the strains. There is a total of three acres of greenhouses, and the demand is not small.

Of course, getting to know the vegetable seller was also part of his plan, so he readily agreed to You Damin's suggestion. The two of them left the agricultural technology station on their motorcycles and headed in the same direction.

About 20 minutes later, You Damin slowed down in front of a factory near the outskirts of the county.

When Yao Weijun caught up, he nodded towards the factory building and said, "Hey, we're here."

"Brother You, what's this guy's name?"

"Oh, I forgot about this for a moment. His surname is Lin, he seems to be called Lin Yongtian, but I usually call him Fatty Lin. You are my friend. We will go in later. He has to treat him to Fatty Lin for lunch. , you don’t have to worry about it!”

"..."

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of the factory building.

As soon as the people inside saw You Damin, they quickly pushed open the iron gate and raised their hands to say hello with smiles on their faces.

"Brother You, please come in and I'll call Brother Lin for you right now!"

"No, I'll go to the office to find him by myself. You're busy!"

While Yao Weijun parked his motorcycle, he took stock of the environment in the factory area.

The yard is not too big, and upon entering is a huge factory building made entirely of wood.

There was an old Jiefang brand car parked near the door of the factory, and several workers covered in green vegetable stains were loading the car, with tired looks on their faces.

"Let's go directly to Fatty Lin's office!"

You Damin led the way, leading Yao Weijun around the factory building and up the wooden stairs from the side door.

Arriving on the second floor, there were three offices in total, and they walked all the way to the innermost door.

"Boss Lin, you've been asleep so early in the morning, haven't you? Haha..."

You Damin said, opened the door and walked in first.

"Hey! The leader is here. Please come in quickly and take a seat!"

A deep voice sounded from the office, and Yao Weijun also entered the room.

I saw a fat middle-aged man rubbing his red eyes and hurried over with enthusiasm. He wiped his hands with his clothes before shaking hands with You Damin.

"Leader, is this the distinguished guest you mentioned to me?"

This person was exactly what You Damin called Fatty Lin. After noticing Yao Weijun, he immediately smiled and said hello, "Hello, comrade, my name is Lin Yongtian. You are a friend of the leader. From now on, just call me Fatty Lin. Haha... Hurry, please come inside!"

"Hello, my name is Yao Weijun. Boss Lin is very polite. Please!"

Yao Weijun smiled and shook hands with him, and after exchanging pleasantries, the three of them sat down on their respective chairs.

Fatty Lin's office was built by himself out of wood. Although it was quite spacious, it was built next to the factory and the only small window was closed at this time, so the light was very dark.

When Yao Weijun walked in from the sunny environment outside, he couldn't see clearly the specific layout of the room.

"Comrade Yao, please smoke!"

Fatty Lin's face was covered with fat. In the dim light, he smiled like Maitreya Buddha, but he was very enthusiastic. As soon as he sat down, he started passing out cigarettes.

"Leader, take one too!"

He handed You Damin another cigarette, immediately picked up the kerosene lighter, and lit the cigarettes for the two of them with a smile. It can be said that the hospitality was extremely warm.

"Wei Jun is a good friend of mine. He is also a businessman. The scale of his business is not smaller than yours. When we were drinking together, we occasionally talked about your cooking. I thought there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so I specially invited him to come over and get to know you."

You Damin introduced lightly while smoking a cigarette.

"Oh! That's really my honor, Boss Yao, please take good care of me in the future!"

Fatty Lin, who was a businessman by trade, had already become proficient in superficial skills. After hearing this, he immediately stood up again and leaned over to shake hands with Yao Weijun.

"Since we are all friends of Brother You, there is no need for us to be so polite. Let's help each other out from now on. Let's make money together!"

Yao Weijun stood up and responded with a smile.

"Ah, yes, yes, let's make money together, haha... I like hearing this. Boss Yao seems to be a cheerful person at first glance. I haven't asked Boss Yao what kind of business you do?"

Fatty Lin asked at the right time, taking advantage of his enthusiasm.

"Oh, thanks to Brother You's help, I was lucky enough to participate in the pilot projects of several communes outside the city of the Agricultural Technology Station in my personal capacity. I deal with the land every day and can't talk about any business. But when the pilot shows results next year, maybe we can work with You, Boss Lin, really have a chance to cooperate."

Yao Weijun said calmly and vaguely with a faint smile on his face.He had just gotten angry with You Damin outside. Of course, the latter didn't want Fatty Lin to know about the source of the speculation, so he changed his excuse.

After hearing this, Fatty Lin looked at Yao Weijun with a different look. He was enthusiastic on the surface before, but now he was excited from the bottom of his heart.

In his opinion, it was not important in what capacity Boss Yao participated in the agricultural technology station pilot project, but when he heard that what the other party was doing was also dealing with land, he became interested.

He is a vegetable seller. In addition to grain, he can sell all the crops that grow on the ground.

"That's great, haha... I just said that there were magpies sitting on the roof of the factory early this morning. It's really a good thing!"

Fatty Lin put out his cigarette butts and rushed out to order people to start buying food and drinks to entertain Yao Weijun and You Damin ceremoniously.

If it was a banquet for Yao Weijun himself, he would definitely go straight to the restaurant, but with You Damin present, according to their previous habits, they would buy the ingredients and eat and drink.

Fatty Lin doesn't need to explain this. You Damin already said it before he came.

The lunch banquet was held in a private room in the cafeteria. The interior was cleaner and tidier than that of a hotel. It was completely different from the dirty and messy environment outside. I guess Fatty Lin entertained many 'distinguished guests' here.

After a few glasses of wine, Yao Weijun and Fatty Lin gradually became familiar with each other.

After drinking for three rounds, Yao Weijun put down his wine glass, pointed to the wooden factory building outside through the window, and asked curiously:
"Brother Lin, your factory is all made of wood. It seems to me that it's not elm or locust wood from around here. It seems like you brought it here from other places?"

"Haha... Brother Yao is really well-informed. He can tell at a glance the wood in my factory. Yes, they are all high-quality logs from the Northeast. A friend of mine is a purchaser at the Chengnan Timber Factory. I asked him to help me complete the truck. Shipped back!"

After a few glasses of wine, Fatty Lin felt more generous and continued: "If Brother Yao needs to use a large amount of wood in the future, I can help you negotiate, but we have agreed that the quantity is too small. After all, it is not worth it." Yes, right? Haha..."

"Then don't do it later, I really need it now." Yao Weijun once again lamented the importance of personal connections. Things that originally took time to solve, but now with Fatty Lin's friendship, maybe It can be done in just a few sentences.

"Oh? Brother Yao, tell me, what kind of wood do you need? I'll call you now and ask!"

Fatty Lin put down his chopsticks and asked seriously.

"Basswood, but the trunk part that is too thick is not used. Generally, sticks with calf thickness are best. If such raw wood is available, I need to buy a batch now."

"Basswood..." Fatty Lin was startled for a moment. He quickly thought of something and nodded: "Oh, I know. Brother Yao is planning to use it to cultivate mushrooms, right? I know a little about the amount of mushrooms after looking at the vegetables over the years. Yes, indeed, the quality of the ones grown with basswood will be much better."

Yao Weijun smiled and said nothing, without explaining much.

"In that case, then I'm going to go outside and call the lumber factory to ask if there is any fresh wood in this field recently. Brother Yao, leader, you guys have a drink first. I'll be back soon!"

At this moment, Fatty Lin was even more convinced about Yao Weijun's participation in the agricultural technology station's overseas pilot village. For the sake of future cooperation, he immediately left the meeting.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he came back sweating profusely.

"Brother Yao, it's done. The Chengnan Timber Factory really has the basswood you need. I'll accompany you after dinner."

"Thank you, Brother Lin!"

Yao Weijun was in a good mood after hearing this and took the initiative to pour wine for Fatty Lin.

After the three of them finished eating and drinking, You Damin had something to do at the agricultural technology station in the afternoon, so he left first. Yao Weijun took Fatty Lin on a motorcycle and rushed to the Chengnan Timber Factory.

Everything went smoothly, and within half an hour, Yao Weijun met Ge Huaiqing, Fatty Lin's friend who worked as a buyer in the lumber factory.

The price of the required basswood materials was quickly negotiated, and it was agreed that the factory would send a truck to the village tomorrow for settlement on site.

After Yao Weijun finished talking about the basswood business, he sent Fatty Lin back to the factory and then left.

……

"Hey! Yao Weilin, why are you so dazed! If Ma De continues to be lazy, remember, don't take any of your wages this month!"

At this time, Yao Weilin was loading and transporting trucks. A middle-aged man saw him looking at the door in a daze. The latter shouted angrily.

"It's not Brother Liu. I just heard the sound of a motorcycle and looked over. I thought I saw my biological brother, but why did he come here? Hiss...it's weird!"

Yao Weilin asked his wife's mother-in-law to come to the county town to load and unload vegetables. By coincidence, the boss of the company was Fatty Lin.

I was really tired during this period. Before I came here, I felt that a bag of vegetables didn't weigh much, so I didn't take this job seriously at all. But when I got here, I realized that going out to do the work was completely different from farming at home.

A bag of vegetables is not heavy, but it can’t sustain working day and night, especially in the middle of the night in a hurry. The busy work is more tiring than the autumn at home.

Originally he wanted to give up the job, but he felt that going back like this would make the villagers laugh, especially his wife, who would have a hard time with her. If he went back halfway, he would definitely scold him for this matter for several years!
So for the sake of earning money every day, he decided to wait until the end of the year before returning to the village.

During the gap between loading and unloading, Yao Weilin glanced at the gate from the corner of his eye and saw a familiar figure leaving on a motorcycle, which made him stunned.

Because the figure from the back looks so much like Lao Wu, I really can’t be sure. After all, the person’s status seems to be quite high, because even his boss, Boss Lin, personally stood at the door to see him off. Lao Wu... can’t do that!
"Hey! You are really successful! Open your eyes and look carefully, that is Brother Lin's distinguished guest! If you have such a capable brother, why come here to do the work?"

Brother Liu sneered and said sarcastically:
"You are a lazy ass grinding your shit and peeing a lot every day. Understand that the work is for you. If you don't want to make money, you can get out of here as soon as possible. No one will stop you!"
Don't do this in the future, otherwise I'll open the restaurant with the guy who introduced you here, Lao Yan, and you won't be able to carry the vegetables in a hurry? ! "
