1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 99: Iron Chain Across the River (3)

The so-called distribution center is actually a black market formed by a group of traders gathering together... In this kind of distribution center, one can not only collect scarce materials for the northern trade, such as duck feathers, dog skins, clothes, shoes and hats, but also "exchange" various industrial products and "private goods" brought back from the north.

Of course, if you think that these distribution centers are doing business honestly, you are too naive.

Long before the country began macro-control, these distribution centers, which are widely distributed across the country, became transit points for counterfeit, substandard and shoddy goods.

As long as there is a need, any compliant, non-compliant, qualified or unqualified products and spare parts can be found here... More than 80% of the credit for the rapid growth of the three major counterfeiting centers in recent years should be attributed to the thousands of distribution units and these countless distribution centers.

Hearing the name "Shanghe", the deputy general manager's head veins jumped twice, and then asked cautiously: "Boss Wang, although Lao He made a mistake this time and did not purchase from the refrigerator factory with targeted production qualifications, isn't this to save the company more money... For such a small matter, the inspection team doesn't need to come to our door, right?"

Seeing that this guy wanted to smooth things over, Wang Yinuo smiled and said, "We'll talk about the illegal purchase of refrigerators from unqualified companies later... According to the investigation, the low-pressure pipes used in those 310 freezers are all unqualified second-hand parts... This is also an important reason why the franchise stores of Mo Mo Baizha have serious waste of raw materials... Haha, the low-pressure pipes leak all the time, how can those freezers lower the temperature?"

Glancing at the vice president with a somewhat stern look, Wang Yinuo retracted his gaze: "Although the 310 freezers have serious problems and have caused serious losses to the company, this is not the main reason why the inspection team came."

Not that freezer thing?
When the vice president heard this, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, his heart became even more anxious and his face turned pale.

Wang Yinuo saw his expression, and a trace of undetectable disgust flashed across his eyes, but his tone became indifferent: "In the previous raw material procurement process, Section Chief He reached a private deal with more than eleven cooperative units... The service team signed a long-term procurement contract with them and promised that they would have priority when renewing the contract... But in return, these units need to purchase a batch of medium-sized refrigeration equipment to expand their own cold storage."

At this point, Wang Yinuo's tone was a little cold: "At first glance, this condition is reasonable. Brother units can support each other and make progress together. No one can find fault with it;"

"But... there aren't many real fools in this world, and this trick played by the service team is nothing new!"

"If those medium-sized refrigeration equipment were purchased from a designated manufacturer, that would be fine...but is the township enterprise designated by Section Chief He a designated manufacturer?!"

Sitting back in his seat, Wang Yinuo lowered his eyes gently: "The refrigeration equipment used in the factory cold storage is different from the freezer. Once an accident occurs due to quality reasons, the loss is state-owned assets... The nature is different, and the consequences are very different... It just so happens that the country is severely cracking down on counterfeit and shoddy products, especially counterfeit and shoddy electrical accessories that will cause serious losses;"

"Section Chief He actually dared to commit a crime at this juncture... Ha, do you really think that the inspection teams touring various places are just there to eat and do nothing?"

The deputy general manager's head was covered in cold sweat and his eyes were dripping with sweat.

The first principle of state-owned enterprises is to have a precise positioning and keep up with the country’s pace in the general direction at all times... This is a red line that no one dares to cross and a high-voltage line that no one dares to step on.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Section Chief He stepped on the high-voltage line this time, and he stepped on it very accurately and correctly... In this kind of situation, even the God himself couldn't save him.

Moreover, it is very obvious that the Discipline Inspection Department has not yet sent him over for questioning, and the two guests just now did not mention his name, which has already proved that Wang Yinuo is covering up for him and pleading for him... Generally speaking, although it was Section Chief He who crossed the line, as a senior executive in charge of logistics, he also has to bear joint liability.

To be honest, he should thank Wang Yinuo for being able to escape unscathed from such a crisis. Even if he didn't have to kowtow on the spot, at least he didn't have the nerve to continue standing against him. But there was nothing he could do. Being in a high position, the causal relationships he was entangled in were dense and complicated, and there were some things he couldn't decide whether he wanted to or not.

Glancing at someone beside him who hadn't said a word the entire time, the vice president sighed secretly, then pleaded, "Boss Wang, Lao He's mistake was unintentional after all... Can you please ask the two customers to let him off this time... Mo Mo Bai Zha is at its most critical moment right now. If Lao He gets into trouble, there will be no one to appease and coordinate follow-up work for those raw material suppliers who have also gotten into trouble... Once there's a problem with the raw material supply, Mo Mo Bai Zha may go bankrupt immediately!"

At this point, the vice president's tone seemed a little urgent: "This concerns the employment of hundreds or even thousands of family members. We are all state-owned enterprises. The higher-ups can't just sit there and watch so many people lose their jobs, right?"

At this point, the difference between central enterprises and ordinary state-owned enterprises becomes very obvious.

If it were an ordinary state-owned enterprise, encountering such a fatal problem at such a critical juncture, it would not have had enough time to cut off its tail and protect itself, so how could it dare to plead for others?
But state-owned enterprises are different. These are real sons. Some things can be kept behind closed doors and they can be negotiated and smoothed over with a family attitude... Although the drilling company's situation is somewhat special, the matter at hand can be big or small if you look deeper. As long as Wang Yinuo, the top leader, is willing to lower his posture, this matter is not without room for maneuver.

Of course, it is indeed shameless to ask Wang Yiming to bow down and speak for his own people as an opponent.

Wang Yinuo glanced at him and said in a neutral tone, "Plead for mercy? I don't have that much face... The seven departments haven't left the capital yet, and I'm the first to come out and cause trouble for them?... Do you really think I'm Sun Wukong, who can withstand a blow from the Nine Heavens Thunder?"

As he spoke, he sighed: "You are right, the reason why the Momo Baizha incident is important is because it concerns the jobs of hundreds of employees' families, but..."

At this point, Wang Yinuo looked at the two vice presidents meaningfully and said, "However, Momo Baizha is not the only one who can solve the employment problem of employees' families."

"So... don't mention the matter of pleading for Chief He anymore;"

"As for the placement of those family members... I will take care of it myself!"

! ! ! ? ? ?
The two vice presidents looked horrified.

Own considerations?

Does that mean you plan to give up the Momo Baizha project?

Could it be that... today's incident was actually a premeditated move to take advantage of the situation?

Iron chains across the river!

At this moment, the two vice presidents felt cold all over, and deeply felt the despair of being in a dilemma...
