Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Director Pan hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face: "Director Li, why did you come down in person?"

This stylish man was about forty years old, not tall, only about 1.7 meters, with his hair parted in the middle and a fair face. He looked like a leader.

"This is Xiao Qin, right?" The leader smiled reservedly and stretched out his hand.

Qin Dabao put out his cigarette and reached out to shake his hand.

"Brother, this is Deputy Director Li of our steel mill. He is in charge of the personnel and logistics of the entire mill."

Director Pan is a smart guy. The last sentence is not nonsense, but the point, which points out the status of Deputy Director Li in the steel rolling mill. He is second only to the director.

"Hello, Director Li, I'm Qin Dabao."

"Comrade Xiao Qin, on behalf of the steel mill, I want to thank you. Thank you for bringing us warmth during our busy production period."

Qin Dabao's heart was churning with anxiety at the official rhetoric. "Is this just warmth?" he asked. "I'm even offering a sauna!" "Does this guy not want to pay me?"

"You're welcome." Qin Dabao said this in a dry voice.

Director Pan came over and said, "Director Li, Xiao Qin is not an outsider. He is a family member of our factory."

"Oh?" Deputy Director Li smiled even brighter and shook Qin Dabao's hand. Qin Dabao was so angry that he almost shook him off. "How long have you been holding my hand? Do you think I'm a little girl?"

Little did they know that Qin Dabao's hands were more delicate than most women's, and Deputy Director Li was reluctant to let go.

"Is there anyone from Comrade Xiao Qin's family working in our factory?"

Qin Dabao pretended to be embarrassed, pulled his hand out and scratched his head.

"My father works in our factory's locksmith workshop. His name is Qin Qingyou."

"Oh...it's Master Qin. He's a model worker in our factory. I gave him a certificate of honor."

This conversation was a bit awkward, one person was speaking in official language and the other was not being serious, which made the atmosphere a bit dull.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu came over with the paper. This scoundrel was not afraid of Deputy Director Li. A cook, especially a skilled cook, had to be given some face by the director.

"Oh, Director Li, you've come to visit us. What would you like to eat for lunch? I'll prepare it for you."

Deputy Factory Director Li's eyes darted, "I heard there's bear meat? That's a rare commodity."

"It has to be braised. We also have dried shrimps here. Director Pan, please bring me a piece of Jinhua ham later. I will prepare the whole dish for the director to taste."

"Okay." Deputy Director Li swallowed his saliva. He didn't come down just to get to know Qin Dabao. He was just greedy.

"Comrade Xiao Qin, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. From now on, if you have any good things, please send them to me. Don't worry, our steel mill is not stingy."

"Okay, thank you, Director Li."

Deputy Director Li walked away with his hands behind his back, smiling. Director Pan hurried over and said quietly, "Director, there are a few large fish in this batch, each weighing seventy or eighty kilograms. I'm leaving some for you as a New Year gift."

Deputy Director Li still smiled, but his eyes were much warmer. "Old Pan, our logistics work is not easy. I've told Director Yang that after the New Year, we'll have to put more pressure on you. You should be prepared."

Director Pan was so happy that his tongue could be seen: "Thank you, leader, thank you, leader. I, Pan Daqing, will always be your soldier. I will fight wherever you point me."

"Hmm." Deputy Director Li was very satisfied with this expression of loyalty: "This Xiao Qin can get so many good things. He is very capable. You must protect him well."

"Yes, I have prepared two boxes of wine and will give them to him later."

Deputy Director Li nodded and said, "Give him another piece of Jinhua ham. When Zhuzi mentioned it just now, I saw that he was a little interested."

It’s said that leaders have sharp eyes. Qin Dabao noticed some subtle changes in his expression.

"Okay, okay."

Deputy Director Li left and Director Pan came back.

Sha Zhu held up the paper and read: "One thousand and one hundred catties of pork, six hundred and twenty catties of bear meat, three thousand catties of fish under five catties, twenty-eight thousand catties of fish over five catties, and twenty thousand catties of fish over twenty catties."

Director Pan must have instructed that all the small amounts should be brought up so that they can be rounded up for settlement.

Director Pan went back to the room, took out an abacus, and started typing away. He wrote down the calculated amount of money and handed it to Qin Dabao.

"Brother, do you think this is right?"

Qin Dabao opened it and saw: 2200 kilograms of pork, two yuan per kilogram, which is yuan.

1364 kilograms of bear meat, yuan per kilogram, yuan,

Fish under five catties, three thousand catties, three cents per catty, is 900 yuan,

For those weighing more than five jin, the price is 14000 jin, and the price is cents per jin, which is yuan.

Twenty thousand kilograms of fish weighing more than 16000 kilograms, at 34464 cents per kilogram, is yuan, totaling yuan.

When the money was counted, Sha Zhu was shocked. He couldn't earn so much money in three lifetimes.

Qin Dabao couldn't withdraw this much money from the Finance Department. Director Pan had to get Deputy Director Li to sign it. Director Pan went there in person.

Qin Dabao and Sha Zhu smoked and waited, chatting idly. They had so much money, and it came from legitimate sources, so they were not afraid of anyone checking. This made Sha Zhu very envious.

Qin Dabao breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, he was not afraid of taking out any good things, because the money was all on the right track.

After a while, Director Pan came running over breathlessly with a black leather bag in his arms and handed it to Qin Dabao.

"Brother Dabao, please check."

"Well, why should we investigate among ourselves? Do I not trust Director Pan?" Qin Dabao was holding his briefcase.

"Wait a moment, brother." Director Pan stepped forward again. After a while, he came back holding a huge Jinhua ham, followed by a cafeteria apprentice holding two boxes of Maotai liquor.

"Brother, the New Year is coming soon, and Deputy Director Li asked me to get you some New Year's goods."

Qin Dabao didn't pretend and accepted it directly. After all, it was paid by the government, so it would be a waste not to accept it.

After saying goodbye to Director Pan, Sha Zhu saw Qin Dabao out of the factory.

"Brother Zhu, come to my house tonight. I'll make two dishes and we can have a drink together."

"Okay, brother, you prepare the dishes and I'll cook them when the time comes."

Qin Dabao valued this point about Sha Zhu: he never spoke or acted in a hypocritical manner, but was always sincere.

After parting with Sha Zhu, Qin Dabao found a deserted place, put away the wine and ham, and strolled home.

Passing by the street office, he took out two cold-water fish from the space. He only had the cold-water fish for himself, and the other one was the big fish.

But even if it is a cold-water fish, one fish weighs seven or eight kilograms, so two of them are considered a big gift.

He didn't go to the main office, but went directly to the director's room. He knocked on the door and Director Wang called him in.

Qin Dabao went in carrying the fish. Director Wang was lying on the table writing materials. He looked up and smiled.

"Dabao, I heard from your mom that you are very busy at work now. How do you have time to come to my place?"

Qin Dabao held up the fish and said, "I caught a few fish today. I'll give you two to try."

Director Wang really didn't have the courage to refuse this gift. It was so difficult to get some meat nowadays.

"You kid... all right, I'll take this gift." Director Wang's face was stern, but his eyes were full of smiles. From ancient times to the present, who doesn't like others giving them gifts? There are only two kinds of people who don't like it: one is a fool, and the other is a hypocrite.

Director Wang opened the drawer and took out a stack of tickets.

"Your gift is accepted by Auntie. Here are some coal coupons. You can accept them too."

Qin Dabao was happy. Isn't this a good idea? He was just thinking about getting some coal tickets from Na Tao and buying some coal to send to his grandfather's house.
