Chapter 129: Getting Rich Overnight (I)
Liu Zhiye laughed heartily upon hearing this, his words revealing a kind of generosity and enthusiasm. He said, "Director Li, since you have spoken, of course I will do as you say..." He thought, it doesn't matter who I sell it to, and it's also a favor.

When Director Li Mao heard his words, an expression of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face. He picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said generously: "Brother, let's be fair, I'll drink first to show my respect..."

Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became increasingly heated, like a raging fire in a furnace.

Li Huaide, the director of logistics, was standing nearby, staring at Liu Zhiye with his eyes fixed on him. His eyeballs were like two flexible pearls, rolling around as if he was daydreaming about all sorts of possibilities in the future.

Relying on his father-in-law's deep network of contacts, he has a wide network of contacts and a wild way of dealing with things. He can be said to be rich in resources and highly skilled in means.

His personal interpersonal communication skills are also admirable; whether it is relatives, friends or strangers, he can handle all kinds of complex relationships with ease.

Now he set his sights on Liu Zhiye, because he also urgently needed some supplies to build and consolidate his network of relationships so that he could have a smoother journey in the future.

While everyone was immersed in joy and not noticing him, Li Huaide carefully asked Liu Zhiye to leave the room.

The two avoided everyone's sight, came to an empty warehouse, and talked in silence.

"Director Liu! Come and have a smoke, try this..." Li Huaide said as he handed over a box of cigarettes.

Liu Zhiye took the box of cigarettes and examined them carefully. It turned out to be British Dunhill. To be honest, he had smoked this typical British flue-cured tobacco brand before and didn't think it was anything special. After all, during the Korean War, he had seized a lot of British military supplies, including this cigarette.

"Wow! Dunhill!"

"Director Li! You have really wide connections. You can even get these British goods." He pretended to be amazed and gave Li Huaide a thumbs up.

But he secretly guessed in his heart that Li Huaide really had a strong background, extensive connections, and abundant resources, and could even easily get foreign cigarettes. These days, even if you have money, you can't buy foreign goods.

Liu Zhiye gently opened the cigarette box, and a faint smell of tobacco wafted into his nose. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. The familiar smell of tobacco instantly filled his mouth and nose.

He closed his eyes, as if he was back in the battlefield filled with smoke, recalling the days when he fought side by side with his comrades.

Li Huaide smiled mysteriously. He had just been transferred to the new environment of Red Star Factory. Since he was not familiar with most people, he was inevitably a little nervous, worried that Liu Zhiye would look down on him as a newcomer.

In order to prove his strength, he deliberately showed off his "muscles", hoping to leave an unfathomable impression on the other party.

Liu Zhiye, smoking a cigarette but putting the remaining cigarette in his pocket, said: "Director Li! You have a big family and a big business, so I won't be polite to you."

Li Huaide smiled when he saw this. The scene he had been expecting finally appeared. This was exactly what he expected. If Liu Zhiye was distant with him, things would become more difficult.

"Director Liu! We were not very familiar with each other before, and you may not know me very well. I love making friends the most. After you have been in contact with me for a long time, you will know what kind of person I am!" Li Shude said solemnly, and his words sounded sincere and earnest.

Liu Zhiye responded with a smile: "Director Li, I have heard of your good reputation. Old Lu and I have a close relationship. He has talked about you many times and praised you highly!" He deliberately brought up Lu Dachuan to show his favor in front of the new leader.

After hearing Liu Zhiye's words, Li Huaide's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he silently remembered his image in his heart.

He came to the Red Star Factory alone, and deep down he was in urgent need of a few reliable people to support his work and help him open up the situation. This Lu Dachuan undoubtedly became an important focus of his attention.

……

Back at the banquet table, Li Huaide began to respond and frequently showed goodwill to Lu Dachuan, which made him feel a little confused and bewildered.

He found that his new boss, who had been somewhat alienated from him, had a radical change in his attitude towards him after just a short pee, which made him confused and curious.

However, this was exactly what he liked to see. So the two of them, one in love and the other in interest, soon "hooked up".

----

In the afternoon, Lu Dachuan followed Liu Zhiye into his bright office as promised and began a detailed discussion.

When the new logistics director Li Huaide was mentioned, Lu Dachuan suddenly realized that it was Liu Zhiye who said good things about him. "Director Liu! Thank you so much!" Lu Dachuan said with emotion.

Liu Zhiye pretended to be indifferent and said, "Old Lu, why are you trying to trick me like this? Don't you need to be grateful to me enough?"

Lu Dachuan burst into laughter when he heard this, but his eyes became more sincere. This friend is really good.

They chatted for a while longer and then got down to business.

"Old Lu, how did the talks with Lou Bancheng go?" Liu Zhiye asked seriously.

Lu Dachuan patted his chest and immediately replied: "Everything is under control. They have their own car, and they also promised that if they want more than 10,000 kilograms of seafood, two trucks can take it away."

"Don't worry, I'm the middleman, so you don't have to show up. They prepared fifty-eight 'big yellow croakers' according to our requirements," he continued.

After hearing his words, Liu Zhiye couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart that Lu Dachuan's ability to get things done was really admirable.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Old Lu. My friend said that after the matter is done, you will definitely benefit from it." Liu Zhiye patted Lu Dachuan on the shoulder and said gratefully.

He was thoughtful, just like if you want a horse to run fast, you have to let it eat grass.

Lu Dachuan's position has a wide range of friends and channels that are safe and reliable, which may be of great use to him in the future. Therefore, Liu Zhiye must give him some sweet treats to win him over.

Lu Dachuan didn't care about it at all. He waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "Your friend is willing to sell the supplies to me, which has helped me a lot. I, Old Lu, am not the kind of greedy person..." His voice was gentle and sincere, full of gratitude.

"..."

After a while, still following his usual habit, Liu Zhiye set out without hesitation and came to the familiar yard alone, quietly waiting for the arrival of the logistics department's car.

This is a quiet farmyard on the bank of Liangma River, which was rented by Liu Zhiye with his unique vision and carefully turned into a secret trading place.

A few hundred meters in front of the courtyard is the quiet Liangma River, and behind it are low hills. The left side of the view is suddenly open, and the road is close at hand, with vehicles shuttling between them; the right side of the view needs to be seen from afar, and the outline of the village can be vaguely seen. The environment here is quiet and secluded enough to make people feel like they are in a paradise.

About half an hour later, five mighty Liberation vehicles suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Old Lu walked in with a dozen people, looking calm. Even Lu Dachuan, who was used to big scenes, was shocked.

Inside and outside the house, thousands of square meters of space seemed to have turned into an ocean of seafood, with whole baskets of seafood piled up, some of which were still jumping around, dazzling the sight.

These seafoods are of various types and colorful, which are dazzling and show the magic and charm of the ocean.

Lu Dachuan and others were very puzzled. How did such a thing get in? It seemed to appear out of thin air, which made people feel a little incredible.

They couldn't help wondering, could it be water transport? This mysterious and inexplicable phenomenon aroused their questions and curiosity.

However, these people were all familiar faces and they knew the rules and didn't say much.

After that, Liu Lu and the others didn't waste any more time and immediately started to arrange the weighing and loading matters.

"Captain Lu! The weighing is complete. The total amount of seafood is 104,000 kilograms. There are more than 56,000 kilograms of sea fish, more than 10,000 kilograms of shrimps, and 15,000 kilograms of crabs..." Accountant Yu, who came with the car, came over to report, and then handed him a receipt for him to review.

Lu Dachuan thought about it, then signed and stamped it.

"Director Liu! I calculated that the total price is less than 90,000 yuan. I will make it an even number and pay 90,000." He said without hesitation.

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "Okay! On behalf of my friend, I would like to thank you, Chief Lu, for your generosity. Hahaha..." He was in a very happy mood. He had almost recovered his investment after selling only a quarter of the quantity, which made him feel very satisfied.
