"Serena Williams mentioned before that they also do electronic watch wholesale, and the volume is quite a lot."

Zhang Weiwei explained as he walked to the railway freight station with Li Lu.

"I don't know about that." Li Lu asked, "Where did he buy the goods from?" ”

"It's not a big deal, and I heard that electronic watches are better selling and the profits are good, so Xiao Wei didn't say anything. It seems to be from Qionghai. Zhang Weiwei said.

Li Lu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

There was a middle-aged woman sitting at the counter of the freight station, perming her curly hair, putting a round mirror on the countertop, grabbing a handful of melon seeds in her hand, looking in the mirror from time to time while snorting melon seeds, occasionally carefully helping the mousse's hairstyle, and gently dusting off the melon seed skin spilled on her trousers from time to time, and smiling happily.

The military uniforms worn by Li Lu and Zhang Weiwei today are all affixed with red collar bands, and the red collar badges on the collar of green military uniforms are a symbol of status. Usually in the factory, the people in the security department rarely wear red collar badges, and when they come out to do errands, they will hang them up.

When the fashionable aunt saw the two coming over, Li Luman thought that she would receive her politely, but the results were very different - the fashionable aunt just swept them from the corner of her eye, and continued to eat melon seeds and look in the mirror.

"Comrade, let me find your leader in charge of freight." Li Lu knocked lightly on the counter.

The fashionable aunt pointed to the right with her hand, "Go in over there, find it yourself." ”

It's not that they are army cadres, and this aunt won't care at all. Li Lu can also be regarded as having seen the bullishness of the railway department.

Finding the door, the two walked in.

The long hallway, flanked by a door number nailed to the top of the door frame, is a little crooked and looks like it has some years. The walls on both sides are mottled in color, and some of the wall ash is peeling off to reveal the stone bricks inside. The grass-green doors were wide open or half-hidden, and the occasional staff member in a dark or white short-sleeved shirt hurried by.

For the two cadres of the army who suddenly appeared in the corridor, the staff members who came and went just glanced at it, but did not pay more attention to it. Some people thought it was a military transport representative who came to coordinate the military transport.

A middle-aged man came out of an office with a brown paper bag in his hand, turned around and buckled the door lock, he carefully sorted out his bangs of seventy-three points, and walked towards him with a figure-eight step.

Li Lu looked at his feet, he was wearing a pair of leather shoes, so he took a few steps and greeted, "Comrade, work hard." I have a letter of introduction issued by the city government here, and I want to contact several provincial cities to our dry port wagons. ”

Zhang Weiwei took out the letter of introduction from his satchel and handed it over.

The seventy-three middle-aged man stopped, glanced at Li Lu, his expression was not very impatient, took the letter of introduction, glanced at it, and came back and said, "You can take this and do it." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the office in front of him, where there were more people in and out, and the people left.

Li Lu was slightly stunned, and walked over with Zhang Weiwei, there were at least seven or eight people working inside, all of whom came to contact the wagon. There are state-owned factories, shops, and public institutions, and self-employed people have also begun to have active brains, collecting fruits and vegetables from farmers, and then contacting wagons to transport them to the provincial capital, earning considerable price differences.

At this moment, the two men were arguing.

The middle-aged man who was neatly dressed and carrying a briefcase was a cadre of the Beiyun Vegetable Company, and another young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old had a shaved head, wore a dirty linen short-sleeved shirt, his trousers were rolled up to his knees, and the liberation rubber shoes under his feet were dry yellow mud.

"Liang Guangbo, are you going to transport pickles to the provincial capital? I warn you! All pickles must be purchased by our Beiyun Vegetable Company! The cadre pointed at the inch-headed young man and reprimanded.

The inch-headed young man stiffened his neck and said, "Why! You only gave a dime and a half catty, and I pulled it to the provincial capital myself** This is much more! ”

The people are awakening, and Li Lu and Zhang Weiwei glanced at each other.

"Don't make noise, don't make noise." The staff who registered for the review procedures stood up and waved impatiently, "You, you, you can't do bulk consignment, let's go, don't make trouble here!" ”

The cadre pushed the inch-headed young man out, "Go and go, I'll settle accounts with your village party secretary when I go back!" ”

The young man with Liang Guangbo's inch head shook off the cadre's hand angrily, so sad and angry that tears rolled in his eyes, wiped his face fiercely, glared at everyone with hatred, and left.

Li Lu glanced at Zhang Weiwei, Zhang Weiwei understood, turned his head and went out.

The staff member saw Li Lu in a military uniform, his attitude was a little relaxed, and asked, "Comrade, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Oh, I'll contact a couple of wagons." Li Lu said and handed over the letter of introduction.

When the cadre of the Beiyun Vegetable Company heard this, he smiled disdainfully and said, "Comrade, you still contact a few wagons, and you know how many things can be loaded in one wagon." ”

Li Lu smiled, "I probably know." Which Beiyun vegetable company do you have? Xihe County, right? ”

"You know me?" The cadre smiled and raised his chin slightly.

The efficiency of Beiyun Vegetable Company is very good, and the people who work there are very nourished. So much so that they simply do not realize that their miserable days will soon come. When people find that there are more channels to sell the crops harvested in the fields for more money, they will abandon the current unified purchase method and choose other channels.

Li Lu shook his head.

The cadre said, straightened his collar, and said, "That's right, I'm from Xihe County Beiyun Vegetable Company." ”

At this moment, the staff put down the letter of introduction and asked, "This comrade, what kind of company is your Fenyuan company?" ”

Li Ludao, "It is a Hong Kong-funded joint venture, and the city has a key point." You need about five wagons from the provincial capital to the dry port a month, no problem, right? ”

"Hehe, that's a big problem." The staff sneered and stuffed the letter of introduction into Li Lu's hand, "How tight the capacity is now, you need five wagons when you open your mouth." I've never heard of you, Fenyuan. I'm sorry, you can't do this. ”

Li Lu was very surprised, with a letter of introduction from the city government, this thing can't be done?

The staff waved his hand and called the next one, and the cadre of the Beiyun Vegetable Company in Xihe County went up to go through the formalities with a smile. Every time their Xihe County Beiyun Vegetable Company goes out, it is either a special train or occupies most of the wagons of the entire train, and he just comes over routinely to go through the formalities.

Li Lu stood there frowning and thought for a while, and then walked away helplessly.

He understood why Yu Jiahao didn't think about railway transportation at all, and these people didn't even give face to the city government.

Outside, Zhang Weiwei and the inch-headed young man named Liang Guangbo were smoking near the door, Zhang Weiwei hurriedly asked, "Boss, is it done?" ”

Li Lu sighed and said, "It's hard to do things with ugly faces, it looks like you're going to ask someone from the city government to come forward." ”

Liang Guangbo snorted and said, "The people in the government are afraid that they can't do it, their railway bulls are very angry, and no one will give face." I was lucky last time, and secretly sent a batch of goods in the name of Beiyun Vegetable Company. He-mom-dripping didn't expect that dog-face to be discovered today. ”

Li Lu looked at Liang Guangbo and asked, "Little brother, I heard you say this, your business is doing a lot. ”

Liang Guangbo felt very weird, this person looked younger than himself, and he actually called himself a young man, and he was too capable of pretending, for the sake of Zhang Weiwei's cigarettes, he said, "It's not that big, I went from house to house to collect 10,000 catties, and I shaved out the freight, but in fact, I didn't make much money, it was much better than farming." ”

It is not easy for people who have the brains and the courage to take this step, and in the minds of many people, doing such things will be attacked, especially in 1981, when many policies were not yet clear. What is gratifying is that there is an enlightened leadership group in the inland port area that closely follows the pace of reform and opening up.

Li Lu smiled, "Little brother, I invite you to go down to the restaurant." ”

As he spoke, he went to the 212 jeep.

Zhang Weiwei patted Liang Guangbo who was stunned, and said, "Comrade, don't be stunned, let's go, it's good for you." ”

Cadres driving 212 jeeps.

Liang Guangbo hurriedly threw away his cigarette butt and ran over.
