Baiyue Cave Master

Entering September, the temperature in Northeast China began to drop rapidly, and the mud bricks on the brick drying floor of the red brick factory did not dry as fast.

During the weekly meeting, Wang Yuanchao instructed that the dried mud bricks must be sent to the brick kiln as soon as possible to be burned into red bricks.

Because once it starts snowing, it's not a question of whether the mud bricks can dry.

Moreover, the mud bricks produced will be damaged and cracked by freezing.

By then, all the mud bricks and tiles that everyone has worked so hard to produce will be destroyed.

At one time, the number of kilns in the red brick factory doubled, and the kilns were operating 24 hours a day.

Wang Yuanchao stood by the window of his office, looking at the northwest wind blowing under the sunshine outside.

The whole weather was overcast, and I couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas, I guess by October our red brick factory will also stop production and start hibernating."

Cheng Xi was used to Wang Yuanchao's sudden exclamations.

"There's nothing we can do. The weather in Northeast China is like this. The temperature is zero degrees.

The bricks and tiles produced will be frozen.

I can’t go into the kiln, so I have to take a holiday, otherwise the loss will be even greater.”

Wang Yuanchao nodded and ordered:

"Go and ask Manager Yu from the Purchasing Department,

At the end of this month, we at the Red Brick Factory will have a big dinner and give everyone some meat, frozen pears, and apples as a New Year's gift.

We need ten pigs, and each employee needs a box of frozen pears and apples.

Let him do it quickly.”

"Okay, director."

Cheng Xi replied.

Then he immediately went out to find Yu Zhaolin from the Purchasing Department.

Suddenly, the phone on Wang Yuanchao's desk rang.

Wang Yuanchao walked over, picked up the phone and said:

"Hello, this is Wang Yuanchao from the Red Brick Factory."

"Yuan Chao, I'm your brother Binzi, and I have something good to tell you."

"Haha, if Brother Binzi said it's a good thing, then it must be a good thing."

"Well, our department has a GAZ-69 jeep.

It was the northern countries that aided our country in the past.

Although it has been used for many years, it has never been overhauled and can still be used.

Does your factory have any ideas? "

Wang Yuanchao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly replied:

"Of course I have an idea, Brother Binzi, what do you think?"

"Hey, we've had this car for years.

It has never been opened.

So our minister plans to take it out and exchange it with the enterprise for a batch of materials,

It’s enough to buy supplies worth 10,000 yuan.”

“Is red brick okay?”

"Red bricks are fine. It just so happens that housing is in short supply in the county right now, so our armed forces department plans to build a dormitory building to give everyone rooms."

"But Brother Binzi, as far as I know, it takes more than 21 red bricks to build a three-story tube building.

Your car is worth 7.7 yuan, which is only worth red bricks.

How can we prepare so much?"

"How about using money as collateral?"

"It's no problem to pay with money. Let's put it this way, Brother Binzi, this is a big deal. I need to communicate with the higher authorities.

I don't think the problem will be too big. I will ask our sales department to go to your place to sign the contract.

Then I will pay you the red bricks as soon as possible, how about that? "

"Okay, now that you've communicated, give me a call as soon as possible. I'm waiting to report the situation to the minister."

"Okay, no problem. I'll go talk to you now and give you an answer today, okay?"

"OK, no problem."

"Haha, okay, if this is done, Brother Binzi has to arrange a reliable driver for me."

"No problem, this is exactly what I'm in charge of. I'll arrange a reliable person for you when the time comes."

"Okay, Brother Binzi, that's it. I'll go and discuss this first. Wait for my call."

"Okay, go ahead."

Wang Yuanchao hung up the phone, went to the Human Resources Department to get a request document, and then went out to the village committee.

When Wang Yuanchao arrived at the village committee, he remembered that today was the first day of autumn harvest in the village.

The team leader was in the fields all day, supervising the villagers and educated youth to harvest in autumn.

But Secretary Kong and Captain Liu were all there, so Wang Yuanchao gathered everyone in the village committee square, handed each of them a cigarette and said:

"Branch Secretary, Captain Liu, Director Yang, Accountant Yu, I came here today because I have good news to tell you all."

Secretary Kong and the others naturally knew that Wang Yuanchao would not come to the temple for no reason, so they asked curiously:

"Director Wang, you don't come to our village committee for no reason. What good news do you have?"

Wang Yuanchao smiled at everyone embarrassedly and said:

"I just received a call from our county's armed forces department.

There is a housing shortage in the county now, and they are planning to build a tube-shaped building to provide housing for the staff of their department.

He planned to use a second-hand GAZ-69 jeep and some cash to buy 22 bricks and tiles.

I thought that our Red Flag Brigade didn't have any cars yet.

When the time comes, our red brick factory will replace the jeep with a new one. When the leaders go to the commune or the county for meetings, it will be much more convenient to have a jeep.

I came here to report to the leaders."

Secretary Kong and others were very happy after hearing this. Secretary Kong especially asked excitedly:

"How much does the county armed forces department want to pay for this jeep?"

“It’s worth 1 yuan.”

"It's about the same. Now a Beijing 212 military jeep produced in Sijiucheng only costs about 1 yuan.

It's just that we can't buy one. Now our Red Flag Brigade has a jeep, and we can have face wherever we go for meetings. Haha, not bad, not bad, Director Wang, you have brought us all great news."

Although Captain Liu and others were from different factions than Secretary Kong, they were also very happy that their team would soon have a jeep.

Wang Yuanchao said upon seeing this:

"Then I will prepare to sign a contract with the county armed forces department and bring the jeep back home?"

Secretary Kong waved his hand happily and said loudly:

"Get it back quickly. We must get it back."

"Okay, I'll have the sales department go to the county this afternoon to sign the contract.

Let the county armed forces department take the jeep as a deposit and get it back first."

"Hey, Director Wang, why do we have to wait until the afternoon? We are engaged in revolutionary work and we must seize every minute to get things done. Let's go now and handle it quickly, haha."

"Yes, Director Wang, we need to act quickly. If this news gets out from the county armed forces,

I’m afraid someone will come and intercept me, which will cause trouble.”

"Yes, Director Wang, speed is of the essence in war. We must seize the opportunity as soon as possible."

Wang Yuanchao saw that the time was almost right, so he took out the request document and handed it to Secretary Kong, saying with a smile:

"Then please ask the branch secretary and all the leaders to sign and stamp the official seal, and I will do it right away."

Secretary Kong saw that it was a request document and knew that Wang Yuanchao did not want to take responsibility. He lowered his head and thought about it. The company itself has the right to purchase vehicles.

As the superior department of the red brick factory, the village committee was obliged to sign and stamp the request from the red brick factory. They thought there was no problem, so they took the pen handed over by Wang Yuanchao.

He quickly signed his name, handed it to Captain Liu and others to sign, and then handed it to Accountant Yu and said:

"Accountant Yu, please have Hu's office stamp Director Wang's seal."

"Okay, Secretary Kong."
