Chu Yue took the bus to the Municipal Light Industry Bureau.
This was his grandfather's workplace.
Chu Yue found his grandfather's secretary, Zhao Gang, through the gatehouse.
Zhao Gang was in his forties. He was a cautious person and had been his grandfather's secretary for more than three years.
"It's Chu Yue. Chief Chu is in a meeting. If you want to see him, you'll have to wait a while.”
Zhao Gang asked.
"Uncle Zhao, I do have something to do, but you can handle it. If you can, you don't have to trouble the old man.”
"What is it?"
"I want to make an international call to Big Brother. Do you think you can approve it?”
Chu Yue asked.
Zhao Gang pondered for a moment.
It was not easy to make international calls in 1989.
The cell phone was still in its infancy. The first mobile phone would only appear in the country half a year later, and only the rich bosses could afford it.
If you wanted to make an international call, you needed to go to the telephone and telegram office.
Moreover, he could only call Big Brother.
A one-minute international call cost 25 to 50 yuan, and it was charged in sections.
Now, a university graduate who had just entered the government would only get a basic salary of 86.50 yuan and bonus in his first year.
A two-minute phone call was equivalent to a month's salary for a basic clerk or a factory worker.
They still had to line up.
Chu Yue didn't have that much money, but he could use his face.
His grandfather valued him very much. As the secretary of the leader, Zhao Gang knew that he should still give him some face.
Anyway, Zhao Gang wasn't paying for it himself.
Sure enough, Zhao Gang thought for a moment and nodded."Okay, I'll help you get a note from the Light Industry Bureau. You can go to the telephone and telegram office to get the note and make a call.”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. I'll tell my grandfather when he gets home that you've helped me a lot.”
Chu Yue said with a smile.
Zhao Gang also smiled. He had helped Chu Yue with this matter because he hoped that the leader would think that he was sensible.
Soon, Chu Yue received the note and headed to the telephone and telegram office.
In Rong City, there were only two places where international calls could be made, and this was one of them.
The other place was the government building in Rong City.
Chu Yue went to the telephone and telegram office, found the telephone service department, and directly found the person in charge. He handed over a slip from the Light Industry Bureau and successfully obtained the right to use the telephone.
The phone was a black landline, and it didn't dial with a button. Instead, it was a dial with a circular disk.
Chu Yue took out a number left by his cousin from his pocket.
His eldest cousin, Tan Bing, was the first batch of people sent to the branch office of Rong City in Mosco after the rapprochement between the police and his elder brother.
Chu Yue had heard Tan Bing boast in his later life that he knew many high-ranking officials from his big brother's side.
"I hope he's not bragging."
Chu Yue made a call.
The call went through and was transferred. The person who answered the call was a female operator from Big Brother.
At this time, calls had to be made to the operator and then transferred.
Chu Yue spoke in Russian, which he was not very familiar with, and told the other party that he was looking for Tan Bing.
After three to four minutes, Tan Bing's voice sounded on the phone.
"Chu Yue? Is there something urgent?"
Tan Bing asked.
International phone calls were not cheap. No one would call to chat if it was nothing serious.
"Brother, I want to ship a batch of domestic light industrial products to Big Brother. Do you have any connections to contact the buyer? The reliable kind?"
Chu Yue went straight to the point.
"You? Trade with Big Brother? Are you serious?" Tan Bing was obviously surprised.
"When have I ever made such a joke with you? Ever since I was young, what have I done that wasn't reliable?”Chu Yue asked.
"This…is true." Tan Bing said.
Chu Yue smiled slightly. The character he had accumulated in the past was now put to use.
"Brother, don't tell me you haven't met anyone after hanging out with Big Brother for a few months?”Chu Yue continued.
Tan Bing was anxious.
"Do you think I'm a real nerd? Chu Yue, don't try to goad me. I can't stand this!”
"Isn't it just doing business with Big Brother? I can really do this!"
"But what do you plan to send over?”
Tan Bing asked.
"Canned food, clothes, thermos bottles, and other daily necessities.”Chu Yue said.
"Smart!" Tan Bing immediately became excited when he heard that.
"Looks like you've put in some effort!"
"Canned food is not afraid of spoiling. Clothes, thermos bottles, and the like are cheap in China and easy to load. I've seen idiots send a few tons of meat and vegetables to big brother, but the meat stinks when they reach the place!”
"Then can you find a buyer to buy the goods? I only do wholesale, not retail, and the quantity is very large.”Chu Yue struck while the iron was hot.
"I can find a buyer, but I'll have to make some connections first. If you're sure you want to do this, I'll help you contact them. The military forces on Big Brother's side are reliable.”
"But don't give up halfway. That will put my credibility in the line!”Tan Bing said.
"Don't worry, I've always been reliable.”Chu Yue once again used his personal character.
"Alright, then I'll start moving. I'll send you a telegram if there's any news.”Tan Bing said.
"Hurry up. I'm preparing very quickly. Don't give me any news after half a month.”Chu Yue said.
"Don't worry, the results will be out in three days! I'm not bragging about my ability to do things!" Tan Bing said confidently.
Chu Yue smiled and said," Alright, I'll give you a big gift if this matter is done!"”
"Don't play this game with me. I'm going to contact someone.”
"Good!"
Chu Yue hung up the phone.
The first step of his plan had been completed, and there was finally something going on.
As for the goods…Chu Yue did not have any money at the moment. His entire fortune was less than fifty yuan.
It was a little difficult to get enough goods to trade with Big Brother for 50 yuan.
However, Chu Yue was able to brush his face.
Chu Yue squeezed into the bus and went straight to the canning factory where his father worked.
He wanted to convince his father, who had a very square personality, to give him canned food on credit!
