Chapter 161 Director Huo’s Olive Branch

"Oh, what do you mean?" Director Guo responded immediately after hearing this.

Xu Shifang smiled at Liu Zhiye and said softly, "The captain really put a lot of thought into providing nutrition for the team members. A few days ago, he ran around looking for connections to get supplies, and he took great pains to get these shrimps."

Director Huo glanced at Liu Zhiye with a half-smile and said, "Comrade Zhiye, it seems you still have this ability. Did you make any mistakes?"

Liu Zhiye responded quickly: "Please rest assured, Chief, I have absolutely not done anything illegal or disorderly.

The thing is, one of my comrades-in-arms was very convenient in buying seafood at Tianjin Port, and I would occasionally ask him to bring back some fresh seafood from there.

He purchased seafood privately and never used the planned supplies, I can guarantee that." He added.

In fact, this kind of adjustment has become a tacit understanding among some people in private. As long as it is not exposed, everyone will tacitly not interfere.

Director Huo smiled and waved his hand, saying kindly: "Comrade Zhiye, don't be nervous, we are just concerned about your work, we have no other intentions.

To tell you the truth, the headquarters also often faces the problem of material shortages, isn't it also solved by adjustment? As long as you don't deliberately disrupt the market, I believe everyone can understand and will not use you as an example to attack. "

What he said was actually an excuse for Liu Zhiye's behavior, implying that everyone should not be overly sensitive when encountering similar situations in the future. This is tantamount to endorsing and supporting Liu Zhiye's behavior.

Other leaders also expressed their opinions, saying that in fact the higher-ups condone this kind of behavior, but sometimes they just turn a blind eye.

Liu Zhiye was not reselling state-owned assets, nor was he blatantly hoarding supplies, buying low and selling high, or disrupting the market.

Liu Zhiye did not resell state-owned assets, nor did he blatantly hoard materials, buy low and sell high, disrupt the market, etc. He just used his spatial advantages within a reasonable range to discover and seize some opportunities in the market, thereby realizing his wealth growth.

Although he makes a profit, without him, seafood may not be sold smoothly. This is not only beneficial to him, but also to consumers and sellers, forming a win-win situation, and the nature becomes more positive.

At the end of April, Hao Shun's side expanded the scale of their fishing trips, with twelve boats and nearly three hundred people participating. This time, they traded 600 tons of seafood, totaling 1.2 million kilograms.

Although the transaction cost was reduced this time, with an average of only 2 cents per pound, they received a total of 24 yuan in payment for the goods.

The shipowner received a share of 100,000 yuan, and the rest of the people also received about 500 yuan each. This is equivalent to earning in one month what a worker can only earn in a year. How can such a result not make them ecstatic?
Now, Liu Zhiye has almost become an irreplaceable god of wealth in their hearts.

The Red Star Factory, Cotton Textile Company, Beijing Transport Company, Red Star Farm, Jiaodaokou Street Office, Dongcheng Branch, Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Steel University, Railway Bureau and many other units' logistics and procurement departments are his clients. It is not a big problem for him to trade only seafood, not to mention that he never shows up in person.

More than 20 enterprises and institutions, together with some wealthy old men, worked together to buy up all the more than one million kilograms of seafood that arrived that day, which earned Liu Zhiye more than 700,000 yuan in cash, more than 200 "yellow croakers" and two to three hundred pieces of precious antique jewelry.

Although the trading volume seems to be large, the total annual trading volume is only 800 tons. Compared with the capital's population of nearly 2.5 million, each person can only get kilograms per year on average. This is simply a drop in the bucket, just a drop in the bucket!
Although seafood is rich in nutrition, it is not as nutritious and anti-starvation as pork, which is indeed a disadvantage. However, in the absence of meat, it is very rare to eat seafood.

Therefore, both the public and private sectors expressed their gratitude to Liu Zhiye for his timely help. Everyone tacitly kept silent and would not intentionally destroy this hard-won good thing.

…………

In the afternoon, the training brigade held a wonderful exercise in front of all the leaders, including shooting competition, fighting and grappling, uneven bars, climbing, on-site rescue, explosion prevention, explosive removal, hostage rescue, etc.

The atmosphere at the drill was tense and orderly, and the team members showed amazing skills and tacit teamwork. They performed various tasks quickly and accurately, just like a well-trained army.

These subjects not only test the team members' superb physical fitness and professional skills, but also hone their psychological quality of keeping calm in the face of danger and their ability to respond flexibly.

During the drill, the team members not only had to face simulated enemies, but also had to deal with various emergencies, demonstrating their excellent emergency response capabilities. They were highly praised by important leaders such as Director Huo, Deputy Director Guo, and Political Commissar Nie.

After the inspection, Director Huo publicly praised Liu Zhiye and other brigade leaders, and asked them to compile the report on the establishment and training of the public security brigade as soon as possible so that the department can conduct in-depth research.

He pointed out that the promotion of this model needs to be further discussed in the ministry, and the specific details need further research and demonstration to ensure its feasibility.

At the same time, Director Huo also emphasized the importance of the public security brigade and reminded them to remain vigilant at all times to ensure the safety of the city.

Many leaders present at the meeting expressed their appreciation for Director Huo's decision, and Liu Zhiye and others were also aware of the heavy responsibility. They all said they would go all out to ensure the smooth progress of the work.

After that, in the following days, they will concentrate on preparing the report and do their best to polish the organization and training model of the security brigade to perfection.

Director Huo finally gave instructions: "Comrade Zhiye and all comrades, you can just send them here. I hope you can be patient and do your work well. I also look forward to your successful completion of the task."

At the camp gate, Liu Zhiye and others saluted the leader with serious expressions after hearing the leader's instructions, and responded: "Yes! Chief! We promise to complete the task."

After Liu Zhiye, Xu Shifang and others saw off the leaders, they suddenly felt relieved. They felt exhausted, as this work of welcoming and seeing off guests was indeed not easy.

"Instructor, you guys go back first. I'll go to the village to visit the old man." Liu Zhiye remembered that he was so busy accompanying the leaders today that he forgot about his grandfather and uncle, so he decided to go and visit them in person.

Instructor Xu Shifang nodded in agreement. He reminded: "Then you should go quickly. It's really unreasonable that we don't go back often to check on the place when we are so close."

"Okay! I'll be back before lights out. If there's anything important, send someone to inform me." Liu Zhiye gave a few instructions and left in a hurry.

After he walked away, he saw that there was no one around him, and his mind suddenly moved. He suddenly had two large net bags of seafood in his hands, which were heavy, and there were several huge crabs struggling with their claws and teeth bared. Judging from the amount, it must weigh dozens of kilograms.

When we arrived at the old house, we saw Grandpa sitting on a recliner at the door, enjoying the afterglow of the setting sun and leisurely enjoying the afternoon. He smiled and greeted Liu Zhiye's arrival. His kind face made people feel very cordial.

Liu Zhiye sat on the big bluestone and asked with a smile: "Grandpa, did you go to see the fun today?"

Grandpa sat on the recliner and responded with a smile: "Yes, you guys really had a great time today."

"I also saw Tielin. He was in great spirits. He is totally different from when he was at home!" Grandpa said with emotion.

After hearing this, Liu Zhiye showed a satisfied expression on his face. They then chatted about family matters and enjoyed this ordinary and warm time.

"Grandpa! Take a look and see what I brought you." Liu Zhiye handed the seafood in the net bag to the old man and asked him to take a look.

The old man took a closer look and said, "Wow! Such a big conch? And some shrimps, what are these?" He pointed at the intestine-like thing.

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "Hehe! This thing is good. It's called 'sea cucumber'. It's very fresh when fried with leeks. It's a famous dish in our hometown of Dongshan." This thing was very expensive in later generations, costing seventy or eighty one kilograms, but now there are plenty of them in the sea, and they are very big. Liu Zhiye specially asked Hao Shun and others to prepare some for him.

Liu Zhiye suggested with a smile: "Master, I will accompany you for a drink tonight, and then I will call my brother-in-law and the third uncle to come over for a gathering."

The old man asked softly, "Do you have anything to discuss tonight?"

Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded.
