Chapter 389: Frustrated Li Huaide

Wang Fuyi looked at Liu Jinshan with a smile and felt disdainful in his heart.

A grassroots person really thinks he is a big shot

If it weren't for the fact that you are the representative of all the workers in the factory and have one vote in the factory committee, you would still have the qualifications to bargain with me.

But he whispered

"Comrade Jinshan, please don't let your ideological burden be too heavy."

"This is a request from our superiors to carry out the activity of recalling the bitter past and thinking about the sweet past. Think about it, what did our ancestors eat when they crossed the grassland?"

"It's the grass roots, it's the belt"

"Now I just want everyone to feel the hardship of those years, so what?"

"Another thing is that the factory is not short of supplies, but our country as a whole is still in a state of shortage, right?"

"Comrades from brother units are all working for the country's development in difficult circumstances. We can't say that our comrades are eating the best food and letting others starve."

“Where is the spirit of dedication?”

Wang Fuyi's idea is very sinister

He knew that he couldn't defeat Zhang Renkang and his gang in the factory.

So after discussing with the people behind, I decided to expand the conflict at the Xinxing Automobile Factory.

Especially since other units in the manufacturing industry are struggling, how can the Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant live a good life behind closed doors?

As long as we cut off the supplies from Zhang Renkang

Wang Fuyi doesn't believe the workers will continue to support him

This factory is a national treasure. How can it become a one-man show for Zhang Renkang?

Liu Jinshan couldn't think of such a profound question.

But the proposal in hand is fatal

This is a call for the factory to cancel the current meat subsidy and holiday welfare subsidy, and an initiative for all comrades in the factory to learn from hard work and struggle.

The canteen was required to provide meals according to the standard of 25,000 yuan that year.

And raised labor standards, calling on all factory workers to work harder for construction and produce one more hour a day.

Liu Jinshan was originally a grassroots worker. He had just been elected as a representative less than a year ago. How could he not know the real thoughts of the people at the bottom about this kind of thing?

Oh shit

This guy is treating people like cattle and horses.

If I don’t eat enough, I have to work one more hour?

Even an animal couldn't come up with this stupid idea.

Let him bring it up. If Liu Jinshan dared to say so, his glass would have been smashed that night.

Tomorrow someone will dare to hit him with a club on the road

Liu Jinshan smiled bitterly

"Commissioner Wang, the comrades below are already having a very difficult time right now"

"Since the beginning of this year, our factory's meat and vegetable supply has dropped from three times a week to once a month."

"Moreover, the production targets are increasing. If the workers continue to be hungry, it will cause public outrage."

Wang Fuyi looked at Liu Jinshan with dissatisfaction and said with a humph

"Public outrage?"

"What public outrage?"

“I think someone is deliberately inciting the crowd.”

“Let these workers who don’t know the truth come forward”

"Don't worry, I have already made the arrangements. As long as someone dares to take the lead, Xue Long will lead people to solve it."

"Comrade Jinshan, our conditions are much better now than they were back then. Everyone should fully understand the difficulties our country is facing now and the hardships we experienced when we started our business back then."

"I have already assigned the Propaganda Department to do this work. All you have to do is to present this initiative at the conference tomorrow."

"Don't forget, if you want to be a good people's cadre, you must start from the perspective of the people."

"After this success, I will promote you to be the deputy director of the Propaganda Department, and you may even have a place in the manufacturing plant in the future."

"Go ahead"

Liu Jinshan looked sad. Although he was unwilling, he had to obey Wang Fuyi's orders.

He can't get off the boat anymore.

Not only did Wang Fuyi promise to promote him to be a real cadre

More importantly, he has publicly refuted and stood on the opposite side of Zhang Renkang's faction

After I walked up, I realized that I couldn't retreat.

……

Private room on the second floor of the second canteen of Red Star Steel Rolling Plant

Zhang Renkang smiled and clinked glasses with the untidy-looking Li Huaide.

After discussing with Niu Junjie and Liu Feng in the morning, he asked Tang Qi to drive him to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in the eastern suburbs.

Li Huaide laughed and said

"I didn't expect that you guys are developing so fast."

"About two years. The scale benefits are not much different from our factory."

"If I had known, I would have gone with you to be a lazy secretary. It's better than being bullied here."

Li Huaide and Zhang Renkang were in the private room.

Li Huaide also spoke more casually

Over the past year, the personnel changes at the Red Star Steel Mill have become more and more serious. The Zhao family and several of their allies have almost replaced all the core positions.

The main departments such as personnel, finance, warehouse management, and production all became Zhao Jianjun's team.

Although Li Huaide is the son-in-law of the Zhao family, the couple has been at odds in recent years, and the Zhao family has joined forces to take control of several units of the Ministry of Industry, so his role is no longer that important.

Zhang Renkang smiled and poured Li Huaide a glass of chrysanthemum white.

The three white imperial wines of Sijiucheng: Chrysanthemum White, Lotus White, and Imperial White

Too bad there aren't many left.

Zhang Renkang bought this jar of Chrysanthemum White from an old man a while ago. He said it was a treasure passed down from the time of Emperor Tongzhi.

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Brother Li, this is a different time. Sometimes coming down may not be a bad thing."

"The higher you go now, the faster the reckoning will come."

Li Huaide frowned, glanced at Zhang Renkang and asked in a low voice

"Is there wind?"

Zhang Renkang released his senses and tried to find that Gao Ying had cleared the area around the second floor. There was no one else except Tang Qi who was guarding not far from the door.

Feeling helpless, Li Huaide was forced by the Zhao family today to choose whether to take the initiative to transfer his position or wait for them to arrange it. He was depressed and went to drink with him.

Seeing Li Huaide so decadent, Zhang Renkang felt a little uncomfortable.

He is a nostalgic person, especially he is grateful to Li Huaide who has done him a favor.

Whispered

"Just understand it in your heart. This kind of thing is fatal."

Li Huaide's eyes flashed, and he listened to Zhang Renkang's whispered instructions.

"Can you please calculate when we started?"

"Are the troops stationed in the north?"

"Think about it, how many of us have experience in the North?"

"Why is there such a big commotion across the country this time?"

"Think about it again. Among the people who have been captured in our Sijiu City, where are they mainly from?"

"If you want to kill us without bloodshed, what is the minimum price?"

"What did the Japanese establish in North China and Nanjing?"

Li Huaide is not stupid. Zhang Renkang's words seem to have cleared the fog and allowed him to see the truth.

Li Huaide covered his mouth, opened his eyes like a leader, and gasped for breath

He stammered.

"You mean"

"Huangqiao-Bing"

Zhang Renkang put his hand on Li Huaide's shoulder and whispered

"Now that you have figured it out"

"I've been thinking about one thing. We can't always bear the pressure from the two major camps, right?"

“There will always be a time when one is pulled and one is beaten”

"Although the domestic economy has stagnated in recent years, it is not completely non-developmental. In the next five years at most, the government will definitely focus on economic development and improve national strength."

"Who is walking the most happily now? What do you think will happen to them when the wind turns southeast?"

"If I were you, I would take the initiative to find a branch factory, develop a good foundation, and wait for the right opportunity."

Li Huaide leaned back in his chair, breathing heavily

He was having trouble digesting the sudden bombshell from Zhang Renkang.

Their horizons are limited to the country, or even to one place or one region.

So many people seem to have never thought about the changes in the country from a global perspective.

Li Huaide calmed down. He had to go back and digest this news.

Then he raised his glass and laughed and said

"Come, drink, drink"

"You have a lot of connections, right? There aren't many Chrysanthemum White left in the world, right?"

"You can get them all?"

"I heard that Renhe Distillery got the recipe, but the taste of the wine they produce is far inferior to what it was back then. This small jar of yours is priceless."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"This happened a while ago. I helped an old man who used to supply wine to the palace solve a small problem."

"His son studied mechanics and studied abroad at a university in Moscow. He will be sent to Gannan to herd sheep."

"I'm thinking about this. Talents are foreign-educated ones. It would be a pity to leave them alone."

"I specifically went to find the company and got it from me to develop the chassis structure of the car."

"His father insisted on giving me this jar, and I heard it was Chrysanthemum White from the Tongzhi period."

"Okay, I bought it for twenty bucks."

"Well, you just called me, let's just drink it together, so that no one will worry about you anymore."

Li Huaide smiled and nodded

“This is a bargain for you.”

"This jar weighs more than a pound. If it was sold more than ten years ago, people wouldn't even look at you if you didn't have ten small seafoods in it."

"such a pity"

"Come on, let's drink, so that no one will miss us."

They both drank a sip.

Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief and said softly

"Do me a favor"

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"you say"

Li Huaide smiled and glanced out the window. It was the cold wind of December, and a layer of frost had solidified on the window. The blurry scene outside was unclear whether it was frost or tears.

"Xiao You, find a way to arrange for it to be with you."

"If I close the branch, I won't be able to take care of it."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, the one at home has gone crazy"

"I haven't dared to let Xiao You follow me to work recently."

Li Huaide recalled the idealistic young man who first worked in the Northeast after graduating from the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and then participated in the liberation of Sijiu City. After returning from Hainan, he was first responsible for the transformation of Sijiu City's handicraft industry, and then was introduced to the Zhao family by the leader at that time.

After much hesitation, he married the eldest daughter of the Zhao family.

The two have been married for many years, and he is like a servant at home. He relies on his father's power to call him and dismiss him at will, or he doesn't even show him a good face.

The Zhao family has a male heir, so political resources will naturally be used for their own family members.

As a son-in-law, Li Huaide was nothing more than a protector in their eyes, and they would always ask him to sacrifice himself. As for the family, that tigress was not like a daughter-in-law at all. People who didn't know would think that Li Huaide had married a woman.

Especially after having a daughter, that tigress dared to scold me in front of her daughter.

Li Huaide couldn't remember when he started to give up and started thinking about leaving the Zhao family and starting his own business.

It's not like Li Huaide has to eat the Zhao family's food.

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Okay, Sister Li is still in charge of the Personnel Department now, right?"

Li Huaide smiled and said

"The current name of the Personnel Department is Qian, and Chunhua is now at the trade union responsible for the workers' negotiations."

"Don't worry about Xiao You's personnel relations. I will take care of it and let her bring her to you."

"I, your brother, have to take care of things in this factory, otherwise no one will have a good life."

Li Huaide glared. He could choose not to fight, but if Zhao Jianjun made things difficult for him, then the Zhao family wanted him to cooperate in taking control of the Red Star Steel Mill.
