Of course, Chen Yu didn't want to eat instant noodles for another half a year. The nauseating feeling he felt when he smelled it made him shudder.
Moreover, in her previous life, she had been too focused on eliminating these things to realize that this thing was still a temporary food.
He had to find a way to sell it, or else Chen Weidong would be criticized for the 500,000 yuan deficit.
At this time, the grain station and the grain office were monopolized units. After the production was contracted to each household, the enthusiasm of the farmers increased, and the grain production also increased. The excess grain could only be sold to the grain station.
However, the grain station had always bought them with IOUs, which meant that they would give them to the farmers when they had money.
The 500 tons of grain involved a 500,000 yuan IOU, which was not a small amount in the 1990s when the average monthly salary was just over 200 yuan.
If they couldn't make up for this money, it would be called a deficit!
In his previous life, Chen Yu didn't remember much. He only knew that it was his old uncle, Tang Zigui, who helped him settle the matter in the end.
Tang Zigui, his uncle, was a regiment-level cadre who had been transferred to civilian work. He was currently the director of the Liao Province Food Reserve Bureau.
Food was the most important thing for the people. In this day and age, it was better to have food than a gun.
Therefore, Tang Zigui had a wide network and held great power. He had a lot of say in the provincial party committee.
Although Chen Yu didn't want to eat food that had expired for half a year, he couldn't shamelessly go to his old uncle at this time.
He was wondering if there was a good way to sell the five million packets of instant noodles. It would be best if he could make a big profit to make up for Chen Weidong's deficit!
"Dad, do you still have the approval for the grain to be shipped out at the beginning of the year? I'll see if I can think of a way to get rid of this thing.”
Chen Yu eagerly looked at Chen Weidong. At this time, the food stamps had yet to be canceled. Regardless of whether it was an individual or a unit, they had to approve the purchase of a large amount of food.
Raising his head, Chen Weidong exchanged glances with Zhang Lan before suspiciously looking at Chen Yu.
"Xiao Yu, I definitely kept the approval slip late, but why would a young man want it?”
"You still want to cancel it? Xiao Yu, do you know how many instant noodles there are in that warehouse? Together with the cardboard boxes, there were at least three to four hundred tons! It would take more than 10 train skins to transport them!”
"Besides, who would squander and buy something that's about to expire?”
Zhang Lan looked at the two of them angrily.
Chen Weidong was really generous. As he spoke, he actually took out the approval slip.
After receiving the approval slip from the grain office, Chen Yu, who was now the Creditor of the Fumanduo Food Factory, said to his parents,"
"Dad, Mom, now that we can't collect the money from the food factory, we can't make up for the deficit in the grain office. We'll have to drag everyone into eating instant noodles for half a year. So, why don't you let me try to flip over?”
Chen Weidong frowned when he heard the words " flip over ". He was born in the northeast and naturally knew what it meant.
Since the end of the 1980s, there had been many big and small profiteers in the northeast. With his keen sense of smell, experience, and connections, he often jumped around the borders of China and the Soviet Union and earned a lot of money.
However, the nature of this matter was not good. He still hoped that his son would take over and lead a stable life.
Zhang Lan also felt that Chen Yu was indulging in wishful thinking. Snatching food wasn't a trivial matter.
Besides, you're just a young man who's not familiar with the place. How would you know how to sell it?
Chen Yu thought to himself,'It's impossible to explain the principles of reform and opening up to them.' He directly waved the approval slip in his hand, hinting at how to resolve the deficit.
This time, the whole family fell silent. In the end, it was Chen Weidong who asked,"
"Then, Xiao Yu, have you found a good market? How could he transport more than ten train carriages?”
Zhang Lan also glared at him. If this kid couldn't say anything today, he would obediently prepare to go to work!
"Dad, Mom, have you forgotten about your uncle? He had been in the army for so many years, so he definitely had connections at the border! As for the sales, I've already thought it through. I'll sell it to the Russians…"
The couple nodded when they heard the word " uncle ". This kid was quite smart. His plan clearly stated that he needed the support of his uncle.
His brother-in-law's influence at the northeastern border was still quite great. Even if this matter couldn't be resolved with his help, Chen Yu wouldn't be in any danger if he went to the Su Nation.
Thinking of the 500,000 yuan deficit, the husband and wife were also very anxious.
It was good that Chen Yu was willing to share his burden. In any case, they had no way of dealing with the Fumanduo Food Factory.
In the afternoon, Chen Weidong gave his brother-in-law, Tang Zigui, a phone call. After that, Chen Yu brought the approval slip to the Reserve Bureau.
When he saw his uncle, Tang Zigui smiled warmly and said,"
"Kid, you really came with a letter of approval. Are you determined to do business with the Russians? Aren't you going to take over?"
Chen Yu had a very good impression of his uncle. He had a righteous personality and took special care of Chen Weidong's family.
" Uncle, the country is focusing on economic development now. The southerners have begun to engage in large-scale trade. I think it's time to open up all trade. I'm selling food because I want to help my family solve the deficit and also to try my hand…"
Tang Zigui rubbed his desk. After hearing Chen Yu's explanation, he couldn't help but slam the table and nod at Chen Yu with a stern expression."
"Little Yu, you're right. The higher-ups do intend to open up trade. In fact, when Weidong called, I already wanted to pay for the 500 tons of food, but since you want to try your skills, I'll let you experience it…"
Chen Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. With Tang Zigui's words, the situation at the border could be considered settled.
In his previous life, he was a fool. After seeing others make money, he was envious. He did not say hello to his old uncle and rushed to the train to steal food. In the end, he lost both his life and money.
Tang Zigui had been in the army for many years, and he had connections with the leaders of the Soviets in Moscow.
As long as he stepped forward to greet them, Chen Yu's goods would definitely not have any major problems crossing the border.
It was convenient to have more than a dozen train carriages. The Reserve Bureau usually sold a lot of grain. Tang Zigui also had connections in the Northeast Railroad Bureau. He just needed to tell them when the time came.
"Xiao Yu, I'll help you pull strings at the border, but when you arrive in Su Country, who you should contact and how you should sell your goods will depend on your own ability. I've seen many big and small men, but not many of them have managed to make it to the top…"
Tang Zigui explained his relationship with the Russians to Chen Yu as he gave him the approval slip.
These words were spoken in earnest and earnest, as if they were a warning, but also as if they were encouragement. Chen Yu's heart trembled when he heard them.
Tang Zigui was the director of the reserve bureau. Over the years, he had seen many people go up and down. His own unit had openly sold grain.
However, Chen Yu's nature as a profiteer wasn't too good. On one hand, he offended the Russians in the Su Nation, while on the other hand, he was a profiteer in China.
Not only did it sound bad, but there were so many profiteers in the northeast. How many of them had succeeded?
There was only Mou Qizhong.
It seemed that he really had to treat the stolen goods carefully. He could not let his guard down.
