He Yuzhu was slightly tipsy. With their appetite, they quickly finished the leftovers they brought back. Before leaving, Xu Damao gave him two bottles of sweet potato wine.
He Yuzhu did not stand on ceremony. He knew that Xu Damao was not short of money.
Xu Damao shaved his teeth, feeling as if he had forgotten something.
Glancing at the calendar, he cursed inwardly and slammed the table.
Lou Xiao'e!
At that time, he had promised to pick up Lou Xiao'e on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. However, a week had passed in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, he had been playing movies and bringing Qin Jingru around the city. This matter had already been forgotten.
Thinking about it carefully, it was a good thing for him that Lou Xiao'e did not expose the divorce to the Lou family.
Although Xu Damao had a clear conscience, borrowing the Lou family's power to rise to the top, he could protect the entire Lou family in the future. This was an equivalent exchange.
But other than Xu Damao, who knew what the future would be like?
Director Lou was mainly helping Xu Damao because of his status as his son-in-law.
If this bubble was popped, then there would probably be many variables.
However, it seemed inappropriate to bring Lou Xiao'e back to the Siheyuan. There were many people in the Siheyuan, and Qin Jingru would come to the Siheyuan from time to time. He did not want the Asura Arena to erupt.
"Looks like I have to earn my first bucket of gold and buy another house in the city.”
Xu Damao made a decision.
The next day, Xu Damao signed in as usual. The reward was a pleasant surprise.
"Sign in successful! [Accumulated for one month. Reward: Temporary Storage Talisman.]”
As the name suggested, this storage talisman could hold an entire large warehouse's stock. It could store non-living objects, but it could only be stored for one day.
This solved Xu Damao's urgent need.
He was still worried about how to ensure the safe use of the Mirror of Reproduction. He couldn't possibly stay in the warehouse 24 hours a day after sending the copied meat to the warehouse for transfer, right?
This was too suspicious.
With this Temporary Warehouse Talisman, Xu Damao could copy it anytime and anywhere, then store it in the temporary warehouse. When it was time to pull the goods, he only needed to release it, and the goods in the warehouse would come to life.
It was perfect!
It was also the same day.
Xu Damao was officially appointed as the canteen director at the factory leadership meeting.
Director Zhao of the canteen was promoted to the director of the logistics department.
This appointment was approved by half of the leaders. With Deputy Factory Manager Li as the leader, his influence was still very strong. In addition, Director Lou had connections!
Factory Manager Yang also had a deep impression of Xu Damao. He knew that Xu Damao was highly regarded by the big leader, so he did not express any objections.
Hence, Xu Damao could take up his post from now on.
The entire Red Star Rolling Mill was in an uproar as soon as the appointment was made.
Xu Damao wanted to be promoted across industries, but he originally faced many problems, such as seniority and length of service.
Fortunately, the current situation was different. The higher-ups also supported the promotion of promising young people, so it was not difficult to take office.
The only problem now was that Xu Damao did not have any outstanding achievements or abilities. Now that he had suddenly risen to a high position, it really made many people jealous. They were also cursing in their hearts, guessing how long it would take for Xu Damao, an outsider, to lose his job and leave dejectedly.
Xu Damao was very calm. The first thing he did was to go to Deputy Factory Manager Li's office to express his gratitude.
"Manager, thank you for your training. I promise I won't embarrass you.”
Deputy Factory Manager Li was very satisfied with Xu Damao's lack of arrogance and impatience after he took over the position. He came to his office to express his loyalty immediately.
"Director Xu, the canteen is a big place. You can't relax at all. Especially since you promised to get the meat that wasn't part of the plan. Hurry up and put it on the agenda!”
"I came here to tell you about this!”Xu Damao smiled." I still need your approval and proof."”
"Oh? How much is the meat?" Deputy Factory Manager Li asked curiously.
"Pork is 75 cents per catty, beef is 45 cents per catty, and mutton is 55 cents per catty. For example, those sheep offal, pig offal, internal organs, and the like were free. As long as the purchase was large, people were willing to give them away for free!”
"So affordable?"
Deputy Factory Manager Li's eyes lit up. This price was only five cents higher than the market price. The main point was that these were not part of the plan. They could be bought with money. There was no need to take the indicators and bills issued by the higher-ups.
The only thing he cared about now was how much Xu Damao could get. The workers in the rolling mill did not see any meat every day. How could the young and strong workers survive the high-intensity work with only potatoes and noodles?
More importantly, the supply, marketing, and purchasing were all handled by Deputy Factory Manager Li. Usually, when customers were invited to dinner, they would not see any meat or fish. Who would be willing to come again?
"For now, we'll get 3,000 catties of pork, 500 catties of mutton, and 500 catties of beef. When the partnership was established, he could gradually increase the quantity in the future.”
These days, fat pork was the hard currency. No one bought lean meat here. They only focused on the fat meat. Not only did they eat it to replenish oil, but they could also refine the pork and stir-fry it. Even if they added some soy sauce directly to the rice, it would still be delicious.
Cattle, sheep, and fish were not very presentable. The main reason was that the calories were too low and did not resist hunger. Sometimes, after lunch, she would be hungry before it was dark.
It was only because later generations paid attention to nutrition and body shape management that beef, sheep, and fish meat gradually became popular.
For example, fish meat was not considered meat in the eyes of the common people. If the calories were too low, they could only eat occasionally. In order to save on seasonings, the fish meat in the big pot always had an earthy smell, and there was little oil. Sometimes, if they ate too much, they might even scrape out the remaining oil in their stomachs.
This was also the reason why people would still starve to death in times of famine.
"Alright, I'll give you the approval now.”
Deputy Factory Manager Li didn't waste any time. He gave him an approval slip of 2,750 yuan. He only needed to go to the finance department to stamp it and he could receive the money directly.
"It's not enough to just have a letter of approval. I'll give you a letter of recommendation. If you need anything else, feel free to look for me.”
Deputy Factory Manager Li attached great importance to Xu Damao's actions, so he gave Xu Damao the greatest support. If they could transport a large amount of meat this time, they would definitely be able to shut everyone up and secure their position as the director. These were the results of his own faction, which showed that he knew people well.
With the letter of introduction, it could prove Xu Damao's identity as a steel mill buyer. No matter how much money you had, no one would dare to sell things to you without a receipt and a letter of introduction.
Now that he had Deputy Factory Manager Li's protection, and the level of the rolling mill was so high, no matter how the wind blew outside, as long as he didn't court death, no one could do anything to Xu Damao.
Xu Damao left the office and went to the finance department to stamp the approval slip. Then, two thick envelopes of money were handed to Xu Damao. The envelopes were almost full.
To him, this money was pure profit. Even if he was now the head of the canteen and his salary was fifty-six yuan, he would have to eat and drink for most of his life to earn it. Moreover, when the consumption of meat increased, it would not be a problem for him to earn fifty to sixty thousand yuan a month.
He carefully put the 2,700 yuan into his storage space.
Only then did Xu Damao come to the cafeteria with satisfaction.
Coincidentally, it was lunchtime. He Yuzhu was drinking tea in a ceramic jar calmly. From time to time, he would scold Ma Hua loudly. His voice was so loud that it could be heard from afar.
"Yo! Everyone stopped what they were doing. The canteen director was here!”
When Liu Lan saw Xu Damao walking over, she jokingly called out to the others to welcome him. As the direct descendant of Deputy Factory Manager Li, Liu Lan did not dare to bully Xu Damao. Therefore, she was very attentive.
He Yuzhu was calm. Xu Damao had talked to him last night when they were drinking. He also knew that he would have to make things difficult for him soon.
"You're really willing to give up such a good job as a projectionist. Why do you have to worry about coming to the canteen?”He Yuzhu's mouth was as cheap as ever.
"The screening work is just that much. It's actually easier after leaving the publicity department.”
In the publicity department, screening was a small matter. As the face and mouth of the rolling mill, they had to rack their brains every day to prepare the broadcast script, which was the most troublesome.
As for the job of a projectionist, it was not difficult. There were many people who wanted to be Xu Damao's apprentice in the cinema of the lower branch factory. When the time came, they would directly recruit two smart and sensible people. The daily screening tasks could be guaranteed. The official position of the projectionist was still in Xu Damao's hands. He could still receive the salary of 42.5 yuan per month as usual.
After all, apprentices used their master's quota, so it was only natural that what they received belonged to their master. This was the rule.
Even so, the cinemas in the lower branch still fought for the apprentice spot.
Because Xu Damao was willing to guarantee that the apprentice would be allowed to play movies in the countryside, he could keep half of the gifts he received in the countryside!!
Everyone knew that being a projectionist in the countryside was a lucrative job. It was a conservative estimate to earn half a month's salary in the countryside. When Xu Damao offered such generous conditions, the competition was very fierce.
