60s: I have a store

Chapter 178 Zhou Zhiwen "Delivery"

The next day, the villagers, led by the old branch secretary and the team leader, began to build greenhouses.

Based on Zhou Yimin's description, they roughly knew what to do.

When Zhou Yimin went to visit, several houses had already been built. He found them to be more beautiful and practical than he had expected. The villagers also made corresponding optimizations and improvements based on his ideas.

"Yimin, what do you think? Does it need to be changed?" asked the old branch secretary.

After all, this greenhouse is different from what Zhou Yimin said yesterday, and they are really afraid that it will not meet the standards. You know, Zhoujiazhuang has invested a lot of money this time.

"Very good! Just like expected, it's built this way."

Zhou Yimin gave his affirmation generously.

For some things, we really can't look down on people in the past, and we can't underestimate their imagination and hands-on ability.

After hearing Zhou Yimin's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and worked even harder. After all, their work was recognized, which obviously increased their enthusiasm.

Seeing that the villagers performed better than he had expected, Zhou Yimin stopped interfering.

He drove the car and left Zhoujiazhuang with the truckload of rosewood.

In a deserted place, he conveniently put the yellow rosewood on the truck into the store backpack. After a round, he returned to Zhoujiazhuang and asked someone to help him load the truck. After three or four trips back and forth, he finally got all the wood in his bag.

These old pieces of Huanghuali wood would be worth at least tens of millions in the 21st century.

Don’t even think about making over 100 million.

Those records of Huanghuali wood auctioning for over 100 million yuan are all Ming and Qing furniture, which is very different from wood. One is a finished product that can be used as a work of art, while the other is raw material.

Even if the raw materials are rare and precious, they can never be compared with the finished product.

……

At this time, Zhou Zhiwen, who had just been working for about two days, began to "deliver goods" to the research institute for the first time.

Originally, he planned to be cautious and do small things, but after hearing what Zhou Yimin said, he had to increase the "supply". For example, this time, he moved a basket of eggs and 100 kilograms of bacon from the basement of the courtyard.

Even though Zhou Zhiwen became a purchaser for the research institute, he still had to be inspected when entering and leaving. He had no objection to this. The soldiers guarding the gate checked and found that they were all eggs and bacon, and they couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

The soldier saluted: "Comrade Zhou, please come in. Sorry! Inspection is the rule."

Zhou Zhiwen smiled and nodded: "It's okay! I understand."

After entering, Zhou Zhiwen went straight to the cafeteria. He did not run around in the research institute or ask around. He just did his own thing quietly and ignored everything else to avoid getting into trouble.

Director Huang, who was sitting in the office, could no longer sit still when he heard that Zhou Zhiwen had purchased eggs and bacon for the research institute, and hurried over.

"Wow! So many?"

Director Huang was very happy to see the basket of eggs and the small pile of bacon. This job is worth giving out! Isn't it just an extra salary?

As long as we can get food, it's not a problem.

In this era, money is not even as valuable as food stamps.

Zhou Zhiwen smiled and said, "Director, they told me that there will be another batch in a few days."

"Okay, that's great. Tell them that price is not an issue and they must keep it for our research institute. Hurry up and put it into storage as soon as possible and settle with Zhiwen." Director Huang said urgently.

He also didn't ask about the source of the items, that was every buyer's secret.

Besides, those things are not important to him. What he wants is the results, food and other food materials, and he is not responsible for anything else. What he needs to do is to find ways to ensure the nutrition of scientific researchers. The comrades who are doing the statistics and registration of the storage took action immediately.

With Director Huang's intervention, the purchase price was about 2 cents higher than usual.

This is not in compliance with regulations. But nowadays, food is really in short supply, and many so-called regulations are actually meaningless.

If you don't do this, your unit won't be able to purchase food, and that would be dereliction of duty on the part of Director Huang and others.

Therefore, this is the only thing we can do.

If you purchase at the normal market price, you really can't expect to get a grain of rice outside the plan. Just think about it, if your price is the same as the market price, why should I provide it to you? Can't I provide it to other units? Maybe I can get some other benefits.

In this situation, do you think the big guys above don’t know?
The big guys are well-informed!
The reason why we turn a blind eye is that if the rules are strictly enforced, the situation will be even worse and may even trigger a series of social problems.

Take places like Pigeon City for example. The authorities are well aware of their existence, but they have not completely cleared them out. Instead, they have left a gap for ordinary people to breathe.

After receiving the money, Zhou Zhiwen asked again: "Director, Zhoujiazhuang has planted a lot of vegetables that were not planned. It is estimated that they can be harvested in one or two weeks. Should we try to get some?"

Zhou Zhiwen also knew that the village had cooperation with the steel plant. Those vegetables would not have trouble selling, but if the research institute also needed them, he would try his best to get some.

After all, I'm getting paid by the research institute, so I have to consider the institute.

"What vegetables are there?" Director Huang was curious.

"The first to be harvested is rapeseed, followed by mushrooms, cabbage, radish, tomato, beans, pumpkin, etc. Of course, there will also be chickens and ducks in the future." Zhou Zhiwen might as well reveal a few things to Director Huang.

The more Director Huang listened, the brighter his eyes became. In the end, he even wanted to instigate Zhou Zhiwen to talk to Zhou Jiazhuang and ask Zhou Jiazhuang to sell all the chickens, ducks and other poultry they raised to their research institute.

It's all meat!

"Zhiwen! Go back and tell your old Party branch secretary that the price that the steel mill can offer is also what our research institute can offer. Please try to give priority to us."

Director Huang already knew the relationship between the village and the steel plant.

This is not difficult to check.

After meeting Zhou Yimin a few days ago, he asked about things related to Zhou Yimin.

"Ah! That may be a bit difficult." Zhou Zhiwen told the truth.

The steel plant first donated to the village school, and then provided medical support, etc. These were all real benefits!

Therefore, the village’s output must first be supplied to the steel plant.

"Do your best!" Director Huang patted Zhou Zhiwen on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask the old branch secretary and the team leader."

In fact, they wanted to ask Zhou Yimin. But outside, they all tacitly agreed not to mention Zhou Yimin, so as to avoid being used by those with ulterior motives to make a fuss.

After leaving the research institute, Zhou Zhiwen returned to his private courtyard and found Yimin was there too, eating a kind of melon he had never seen before with Dapeng and the others.

"Brother Zhiwen, you're back just in time. Let's have some Hami melon." Zhou Yimin greeted him.

Zhou Zhiwen handed the money to Zhou Yimin, and then ate the melon while repeating what Director Huang had just said.

Thanks to the three brothers Bai Sir, 08a, and zsx Woodpecker for the rewards!
