Chapter 1085 Trading again
"Xiao'e, where is your father?" When we arrived at Lou Xiao'e's house, Lou Xiao'e was swinging on the swing under the pergola with a doll in her hand.

"Dad is in the factory, dear brother, what do you want to talk to my dad about?"

"So good!" Lin Hao touched Lou Xiao'e's forehead and then said with a smile:

"But your father and I are of the same generation, so you have to call me uncle!"

"But you are much younger than my father!" Looking at Lin Hao's handsome face, Lou Xiao'e said seriously.

"Hahaha, if you tell your father about this, he will definitely say that your little cotton jacket is leaking!" Lin Hao said with a big laugh.

"Here, these are all for you!" Then he took out toffee, biscuits, chocolates, and some small cakes from the space.

I have to say, this girl is so likable and she always speaks the truth.

Then Lin Hao took a piece of milk chocolate, tore open the packaging, and fed it directly into Lou Xiao'e's mouth.

"It's delicious, fragrant and sweet. Brother Lin, is this chocolate?" Lou Xiao'e sucked it for a while, then said with a smile:

"My dad bought me some before, but the chocolate was very bitter!"

A rich girl like Lou Xiao'e must have eaten a lot of snacks on a daily basis, so it was normal for her to have eaten chocolate. These snacks of Lin Hao were all shipped from the United States by Xu Zhongyi, and they were much better than those made in China.

"Okay, uncle is leaving first. He's going to look for your dad!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Lin."

"Goodbye, Xiao'e!"

You know what, this girl is quite polite. Then Lin Hao rode his bicycle to Lou’s Steel Rolling Mill.

The steel rolling mill is a little far from Dongjiaomin Lane. It takes at least half an hour to walk there. It is much faster to ride a bicycle. It only took seven or eight minutes to reach the steel rolling mill.

The most unique symbol of the steel mill is the several large chimneys. He has been there several times.

Look at the thick smoke billowing out of this chimney. This is the surging power of industry. These days, the taller the chimney and the thicker the smoke, the more developed the productivity.

At the factory gate, there were several guards carrying Hanyang-made rifles, and they looked very strict.

This is also a last resort. The steel mill is a key unit and no one will ignore its existence.

Perhaps because Lou Zhenhua had reminded him, or perhaps because Lin Hao had been here several times, the security guards basically knew him.

Seeing him coming, he greeted him and let Lin Hao in, then called Lou Zhenhua to report.

Lin Hao came to the factory director's office. The door was open and Lou Zhenhua was not the only one inside, so he knocked on the door.

"Brother Lin, you are here. Please sit down for a while. I will talk to them!" Lou Zhenhua greeted Lin Hao when he saw him, and then continued to talk to the employees:

"Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Guo Da~, you guys are considered to be a group of people with relatively high potential in our factory, but you must not be proud and complacent, and learn technology with a humble attitude!"

"I spent a lot of money to hire these senior technicians from Germany. They are all experienced technicians with decades of experience and are absolutely top-notch in their professional fields!"

"But they will have to return to their country at the end of the year, so from now on, you only have half a year to learn their advanced technology!"

"How much you can learn is up to you, and how much your salary can be increased in the future will depend on your technical level."

"If you want to earn 10 or 15 dollars a lifetime, that's your business."

"But if you have a goal, are willing to make progress, actively learn technology, and improve your level, whether you will get 30 yuan, 50 yuan, or even 100 yuan in the future, it all depends on your own efforts!"

Lin Hao listened from the side and felt that managers in any era were very good at making promises.

Of course, most of Lin Hao’s attention was not on listening to Lou Zhenhua’s promises to employees.

His attention was focused on two of them, namely Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. After all, in Love in Siheyuan, these two people left a strong mark in Siheyuan.

When the story begins, Yi Zhonghai is already a level 8 fitter with a monthly salary of 99 yuan.

He is hypocritical and likes to stand on the moral high ground, but he is actually quite normal in the early stages.

But as he grew older, the old lady and his wife passed away one after another, the issue of elderly care became more and more prominent, and his mentality became more and more distorted.

Even in his later years, in order to make Sha Zhu provide for the three of them in their old age, he once again used moral blackmail to prevent him from accepting his biological son.

In a word, in order to find a sucker to support him in his old age, he would do anything to achieve this goal.

As for Liu Haizhong, at the beginning of the original story, he was a level 7 blacksmith with a monthly salary of 86 yuan.

He is a power-obsessed person who even wants to be a minor official like workshop director.

He is a pure villain, but he has a slightly low IQ and low cultural level. Not only can he not beat Xu Damao, a real villain, he can't even deal with Sha Zhuzi, a reckless man.

At the same time, he is a person who is extremely violent at home. He does nothing but beat his son. He has no family affection. To be more precise, he is a person without a sense of morality.

At this time, there is no so-called system of worker grades, there are only junior workers, intermediate workers and senior workers.

These two people should be mid-level workers, otherwise Lou Zhenhua would not have talked to them alone in the office.

It is difficult to find highly qualified workers these days, and a mid-level worker is already considered the best in a factory.

"Okay, go back and think about it carefully. Do you just want to be an ordinary worker, or do you want to be the best among the workers?"

"I spent a lot of money to hire these foreigners to be your teachers. I hope you will not let me down."

After the three people left, Lin Hao smiled and said:
"Brother Lou, you specifically looked for these people. It seems that they are the best in your factory."

Lou Zhenhua nodded and said, "Indeed, although these people's education is a little lacking, they all have good talents, especially Yi Zhonghai, who is really talented and is a good fitter!"

"Unfortunately, I feel like his mind is no longer on work recently. I don't know why!" Lou Zhenhua sighed.

Lin Hao's heart moved when he heard this. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai discovered that he might not have children in the future?

In fact, Lin Hao suspected that the reason why Yi Zhonghai had no children might not be because of the aunt, but maybe Yi Zhonghai himself was unable to have children.

Because now you can take a concubine, if it's a problem with the aunt, at most you can take a concubine to give birth to a child for yourself. Thinking of this, Lin Hao had an idea in his mind, maybe he could help the couple and cure the problem of infertility, then the plot of the Siheyuan in the future will definitely change again.

The topic went a bit off topic, so Lin Hao changed the subject:
By the way, the main reason I came to you today is about the 3000 tons of steel pipes. The letter should have been sent to me by then, right?"

Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua smiled, then nodded and said:
"Yes, there has been a reply. All 3000 tons of steel have been received!"

My brother, you are really efficient. Not to mention that the railway out of the customs has been blown up."

"Even if it wasn't blown up, the way out of the customs has been blocked by humans. I didn't expect you to be able to deliver it back so quickly with such a heavy load!"

Lou Zhenhua really admires Lin Hao's transportation efficiency.

You have to know that due to reasons related to railway technology, the speed of current trains is very slow, especially freight trains.

The average speed is about 30 to kilometers per hour, and kilometers per hour is generally considered good.

Moreover, they have to stop and go along the way to load and unload goods. Although the distance between Beijing and Jinzhou is not very far, it usually takes three days to transport the goods.

This is actually nothing. The key is that the roads outside the pass were blocked by both the Red and Blue sides. Not to mention transporting goods out of the pass, even the supply of the Guo army in Shenyang was cut off, and they could only fly planes to drop supplies every day.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to deliver 3000 tons of cargo, not to mention seamless steel pipes that have been rifled and come in all sizes.

If the Guo army finds out about this, they will be in big trouble, losing their heads would be the least of their worries.

Therefore, Lou Zhenhua not only admires Lin Hao's abilities, but is also full of gratitude towards Lin Hao.

"Brother, this time it's all thanks to you. In fact, this matter is very dangerous. I didn't want to trouble you, but I really had no other way before."

"On the one hand, the capital has suddenly strictly checked the contraband materials entering and leaving, and on the other hand, the transportation routes inside and outside the pass have been cut off. In short, no matter what, if you have any problems in the future, just speak up!"

Lin Hao accepted Lou Zhenhua's gratitude calmly. In fact, when it came down to it, Lou Zhenhua's sending of steel pipes to the red team was just a gamble and a pre-bet.

But it must be said that Lou Zhenhua was extremely bold in making these things in his own steel rolling mill and then shipping them outside the customs, but the rewards were indeed generous.

Lin Hao smiled and said:
“In fact, I chose to help you because I saw how courageous Brother Lou was. Not everyone has the same idea as you!”

"Ah, actually I have no other choice. Look at the capital now, it has been ruined!"

"I also want to end the civil unrest as soon as possible. I don't want to see the people here suffer anymore!"

"Look, the Suppression Headquarters, the Bureau of Secrets, and the Party Communications Bureau are all biting each other. They are busy fighting among themselves!"

"Now there's the gold yuan coupons. Those who don't redeem them will be punished. They really don't leave people a way out!"

“Only by ending the civil unrest as soon as possible can the common people live a good life and people like us can run our business with peace of mind!”

"Okay, let's stop keyboard politics!" Lin Hao smiled and then said:
"Actually, I came here for another reason. I brought back another batch of grain when I came back from outside the Great Wall. This time there are 300 tons. Do you want some?"

"The more food, the better!" Lou Zhenhua's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he said happily, "I'll take as much as you can get!"

At this point, Lou Zhenhua said with some embarrassment:
"But this time I want to sell some of it to others, otherwise I won't have enough funds. After all, as you know, I just gave away 3000 tons of steel, so I don't have much money on hand!"

"Moreover, the price of grain has been skyrocketing recently. I thought the grain I bought before would last for a long time, but the gold yuan coupons exchanged by the Guo Mansion this time caused many workers' families to suffer heavy losses!"

"Seeing how pitiful they were, I softened my heart and sold some of the grain to them at the same price I paid from you."

"If you still offer the same price as last time, I'll take it all and pay in gold!"

Hearing that Lin Hao had received another batch of grain, Lou Zhenhua became even happier and his excitement was beyond words.

Lin Hao was speechless after hearing this. Lou Zhenhua did sell it to ordinary people at the purchase price from him.

But the problem is that Lin Hao sold it to him several times, and the price was different each time. He sold it to him according to the market price!

The first time I went to Tangshan, the price was 30 jin for one dollar. In the subsequent transactions, the price was 20 jin, 15 jin, and 10 jin for one dollar.

The price that Lou Zhenhua sold to ordinary people was based on the last price, which was 10 yuan for one flour.

Hundreds of tons of grain, and only accepting silver dollars and gold, Lou Zhenhua definitely made a huge profit with the increase in grain prices this time.

Not to mention the cost of buying food, even the money for the 3000 tons of steel pipes given to the Red Army has been earned back long ago.

Even so, it is still much cheaper than the food in the city now. The price of food has reached a level where one dollar can only buy seven or eight kilograms.

In the eyes of others, Lou Zhenhua is definitely a great philanthropist. When the price of grain skyrocketed, he still sold grain at a low price. I don't know how many people worship him like a living Buddha.

It's like gaining both fame and profit, being the good guy on both sides.

But this Lin Hao has no connections, and it is impossible for him to go out and set up a stall to sell food.

Ordinary people have a hard time. If they sell at too high a price, they can't get over it mentally. If they sell at too low a price, they always feel like they are losing out.

This is also the reason why Lin Hao sold it to Lou Zhenhua. No matter how high or low the price is, he has no psychological burden.

"Don't worry, it's definitely the same price as last time!" Lin Hao said nonchalantly:
"The food is still in the same warehouse as last time. Here is the key to the warehouse. You can go get it anytime!"

Thinking of the situation in the city, he reminded again:
"But you'd better go at night. If people see you pulling truckloads of food into the factory during the day, various forces might not be able to resist intervening."

"Indeed!" Lou Zhenhua said with emotion:
"These people will not do anything without profit. Once they see something profitable, they will definitely rush over like flies smelling stench!"

"But I still want to thank you for your reminder, brother. I have been doing business for several years, so I understand this!"

At this point, Lou Zhenhua whispered: “Isn’t it just sneaking into the village without firing a gun?

“Hahahaha!” Lin Hao also laughed and said, “How can I compare myself to the Japs!”

"Then let's make it a deal!" Lin Hao said as he prepared to get up and leave.

"Wait!" But Lou Zhenhua stopped Lin Hao and said, "I'll give you the money now!"

"You haven't even seen the goods yet!" Lin Hao said in surprise, "Do you trust me so much that you're just going to give me the money so easily?"

Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua said casually: "This is not the first time we have traded volume, and I still believe in Brother Lin's credibility!"
