Chapter 1442 Zhao Jun Receiving Team Pays
The fundamental reason why Zhao Jun does not accept yellow leaves and gray skins is not because he thinks they have low profits, but because his family does not have enough money.
I just paid back the money I owed to Yongxing Brigade today. You can’t come back to borrow again in two days, right?
Zhao Jun couldn't open his mouth.
At home, no matter how they collected it at the beginning, they could only do so. The villagers near home collected Lao Zhang's, so it was impossible for them not to collect Lao Li's.
People from other towns and villages came all the way to Yong'an Zhao's house to sell yellow leaves and gray skins. Considering they came so tired, we had to buy their products.
But when they arrived in Yongxing, they were about to go to the Little Redwood Forest Farm. This was a door-to-door purchase, so Zhao Jun wanted to take the money he had and start with the bear gall and skin, which had high profits.
When we go to Hebei after the New Year and sell the two golden bear gallbladders, the Zhao family will no longer have any financial difficulties. By then, no matter what, we can buy anything.
When Tao Fulin heard Zhao Jun say he had no money, he put the fried fish he had taken a bite of next to his wine glass. The old man looked at Zhao Jun in surprise and said, "Boy, you still don't have any money?"
"That's right." Tao Dabao said with a smile, "You already drive a 212, how can you not have money? I haven't heard of any family in the surrounding villages that can afford a 212."
"Uncle Tao." Zhao Jun smiled bitterly, "A yellow leaf costs thirty or forty. How much are a hundred? The gray leaf is even more expensive. How many can I get for my car?"
"That's right." Tao Xiaobao, who had just come back from seeing someone off, said after hearing what Zhao Jun said, "My uncle, the third uncle, has rarely been up the mountain, but he's still teasing around with twenty or so yellow leaves."
After hearing what Tao Xiaobao said, Zhao Jun realized that the man was Li Yunxiang's third uncle. He thought that it was a good thing that he agreed directly.
"Brother Tao." At this time, Wang Qiang said to Tao Dabao, "There must be more mountain runners on your side than on our side, right?"
Although this is a production team, it is similar to the countryside. Most people in the team do not have formal jobs. When the farming season is slack, a large number of people go into the mountains to run around.
Especially since their brigade has a hunter team, the hunter team can take guns from the brigade, and then the neighbors, relatives and friends can all use guns.
With guns in hand, more people will come to hunt.
"A lot!" Tao Dabao picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, saying, "I have nothing to do recently, so I have been running to the mountains."
"Ah..." After hearing what Tao Dabao said, Zhao Jun turned to Tao Fulin and said, "Master Tao, I have something to trouble you with."
"Tell me." Tao Fulin agreed readily and said, "What's the matter, kid? Tell me and I'll do it for you."
"I was thinking that when you go for a walk, you can help me arrange some things." Zhao Jun said, "I will buy the bear gallbladder and the bear skin at the price of the supply and marketing cooperative at the foot of the mountain. Whoever has them can sell them. When I come back here in a few days, I will buy them all."
"Okay." Tao Fulin raised his glass and gestured to Wang Qiang. Before drinking, he said to Zhao Jun, "I'll help you with this."
Zhao Jun thanked Tao Fulin, and at this moment, the sound of a door opening was heard from the outer room.
Then came the sounds of Li Yunxiang and Jiang Lan greeting people. When they heard them shouting "Secretary Yu", everyone put down their wine glasses and chopsticks and looked towards the door.
Seeing Yu Xuewen enter the room, Tao Dabao asked, "Old Yu, you're back so early?"
"I'll be back after finishing my work." Yu Xuewen responded, and at the invitation of Tao Fulin, Tao Dabao and Tao Xiaobao, he took his seat between Tao Fulin and Zhao Jun.
After receiving the bowls and chopsticks brought in by Li Yunxiang, Yu Xuewen smiled and said to Zhao Jun: "Zhao Jun, thank you for the crabs and fish you brought me."
"You're welcome, Secretary Yu." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I have to thank you."
"Oh." Yu Xuewen knew what Zhao Jun wanted to thank him for. He smiled and waved his hand, raised his head and pointed out the window, saying, "Zhao Jun, you drove that 212 outside, right? Did you buy it?"
"Ah, I bought it." When Zhao Jun said this, Yu Xuewen's eyes lit up and he said, "You must have made a lot of money on this trip."
Hearing Yu Xuewen say this, Zhao Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly. More than one person had said this to him today.
Zhao Jun said the same thing to Yu Xuewen as he did to Tao Fei and Tao Dabao.
Then, Tao Dabao took over the conversation and said to Xuewen: "Zhao Jun and his men went to Hebei and encountered robbers on the road."
"Ah?" Yu Xuewen frowned. After listening to Zhao Jun's account of the encounter with the robbers, Yu Xuewen smacked his lips and exchanged glances with Tao Dabao.
The two had worked together for many years, and they exchanged opinions with just a glance. Seeing that Yu Xuewen had the same idea as himself, Tao Dabao said to him, "Old Yu, I think we should stop trying. After that, we can just let our team sell the bear gall and skin to the Zhao army."
Tao Dabao said this on behalf of Zhao Jun.
"Ah?" Yu Xuewen was startled and said, "Why are there only bear gallbladders and bear hides? How many of those things can there be? The people in our team have collected a lot of yellow leaves and gray hides."
If there were more bear bile and bear skin, it would be worth it for the Yongxing Brigade to take the risk and go to Hebei.
The key point is that after more than ten years of spring hunting, the number of black bears and brown bears in Yongxing Brigade has become very small.
As for the sable, it has certain requirements for the mountains where it can live, and it is rarely seen in Yong'an Brigade.
After replying to Tao Dabao, Yu Xuewen looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Zhao Jun, I want to tell you something. Just now, I saw Qin Dongzi when I came here. He heard that you only collect bear gallbladders and bear skins, and he has a lot of yellow leaves at home, and he wants you to collect them for him."
Because of Wang Dalong’s incident before, Qin Dong and his friends were dealt with by the Tao family, so Qin Dong knew that Zhao Jun was at Tao Xiaobao’s house and didn’t dare to come here to find Zhao Jun.
After hearing Yu Xuewen's words, before Zhao Jun could reply, Tao Fulin said, "Xuewen, it's not easy for this kid to do business. The family doesn't have enough money to collect so many things."
Yu Xuewen blinked his eyes upon hearing this, and smiled bitterly at Tao Dabao, then said to Zhao Jun: "I was thinking of learning from you, and then we will organize a trip to Hebei. I specifically told the team members not to go down the mountain to sell leather during those two days."
"Ah..." Zhao Jun couldn't say anything and could only agree faintly.
"Hey, kid?" Tao Fulin suddenly called Zhao Jun, "We're giving you our brigade's money, so you have to buy a pig for the brigade, right?"
Just as Zhao Jun was about to answer, Tao Dabao smiled and said, "Dad, why are you still worried about this? Zhao Jun has already given us the pig money."
After saying this, Tao Dabao paused for a moment, then added: "They gave me more."
"Oh!" After hearing what Tao Dabao said, Tao Fulin said to Xuewen and Tao Dabao, "Xuewen, Boss, the money in our team will be useless even if it is kept in the team. You might as well give it to Zhao Jun first."
"Huh?" Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao were stunned, and then they heard Tao Fulin continue, "Our team lent money to Zhao Jun, and this kid bought things from us at the big store price. Doesn't this save the team from running down the mountain?
Let's say it's freezing cold, and the road is slippery. If you go up and down the mountain, you'll bump into things. Isn't that worth it?"
The old man's words moved Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao. According to Tao Fulin, lending the money to Zhao Jun and letting him use the money to collect the yellow leaves and gray skins from the team would also be beneficial to the team.
"Zhao Jun." Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao exchanged a glance. Seeing Tao Dabao nod slightly, Yu Xuewen asked Zhao Jun, "Zhao Jun, Dabao and I trust you. But we need this money for farming in the spring. So I have to ask you, if we lend you the money, when can you pay us back?"
"Hmm..." Zhao Jun thought for two seconds before saying to Xuewen, "We will leave after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year and should be back around the fifteenth."
The seventh and seventeenth day of the lunar month are special days, called “human days” here, and people have to eat noodles on those days.
The fifteenth day is the Lantern Festival, and Zhao Jun will try to get back as soon as possible. Because this year, with the support of Chu Anmin, Yong'an Forest District will follow the example of Yongxing Brigade to hold a spring hunt.
As the most famous hunter in Yong'an Forest District and the leader of the forestry protection team in Yong'an Forest District, Zhao Jun must be in charge of the overall situation during the spring hunt.
From today to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is only one month left. Yu Xuewen felt that there was no problem, so he asked Zhao Jun: "Zhao Jun, if you think there is no problem with what the old man said just now, then we will give you another 50,000 yuan."
"Secretary Yu, do you think this will work?" Zhao Jun said, "I have to go to the Little Redwood Forest Farm today. I have a mission there. Then, I will be back in two or three days. During the two days I am away, I want my Master Tao to help me with the arrangements.
I will take all the gray skin, big skin, bear gall, yellow leaves, wild boar sand, and hanging sheep blood. Whatever the total cost, I will count it as borrowing from our team. Do you think it’s okay?”
Zhao Jun's intention was very simple. He wanted to collect mountain products from Yongxing Brigade. No matter how much it cost, he would not pay a penny and would borrow all from the brigade.
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Yu Xuewen glanced at Tao Dabao, and then said to Zhao Jun: "That's fine, that's no problem, we'll pay for it for you when the time comes."
"Yes, Secretary Yu." Zhao Jun said, "Let's do it the same way as last time we borrowed money. When I pay you back, I'll buy you a pig."
"That's easy." Yu Xuewen said so, and the matter was basically settled. Zhao Jun thanked Yu Xuewen and Tao Dabao, and then cast a grateful look at Tao Fulin.
If the old man hadn't spoken for him just now, Zhao Jun would have been too embarrassed to ask Yongxing Brigade for money again.
"Don't bother the old man." At this time, Yu Xuewen said to Zhao Jun, "I will go to the brigade headquarters after dinner and broadcast it to you through the loudspeaker, asking anyone who has things to sell to get them ready.
When you come back from Little Redwood, call the brigade headquarters in advance and let us know, and I will broadcast it again for you."
It was even better when Yu Xuewen said so. Once the loudspeaker at the brigade headquarters broadcasted the news, it would spread to all ten teams in Yongxing. It was much better than Tao Fulin going out to do business.
The deal was a happy one for everyone.
Considering that Zhao Jun and his men would leave in the afternoon, the Tao family did not let Wang Qiang, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen drink too much.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Jun and his six men said goodbye to Yu Xuewen and the Tao family, left Yongxing Brigade in two cars, and headed straight for the Little Redwood Forest Farm.
The jeep was in front and the Liberation truck was behind, going down the mountain, through the city and into the forest area.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhao Jun and his team arrived at the Little Redwood Forest Farm.
At this time, the foresters were about to get off work.
The jeep stopped outside the mail room, the rear door on the left side was opened, and Li Ruhai got out and went into the room to register.
Originally, Wang Qiang wanted to drive in and find the secretary of the forestry farm. But Li Ruhai said that was against the rules and that they had to register first. He used to be a security guard and was familiar with this.
The old man in the mail room is almost sixty years old. He has been a security guard for so many years and has seen all kinds of people.
But the moment he saw Li Ruhai, the old man was stunned.
The young man had a green face and was obviously not very old, but the outfit he wore was something that even their director and secretary didn't have.
"Uncle." Li Ruhai smiled at the old man and said, "I came from our Yong'an Forest District. I came here specifically to help you solve your problems."
Old man: “…”
Five minutes later, Li Ruhai was escorted out of the mail room by the old man.
After Li Ruhai got into the car, Wang Qiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked, "No, Ruhai? Where have you been? It took you so long to register? I was just waiting for you, but you didn't come out. I was just waiting for you, but you didn't come out."
"Uncle, why are you in such a hurry?" Li Ruhai said with a smile, and raised his hand and pointed forward, saying, "Brother, drive forward."
Zhao Jun started the jeep and drove along the route indicated by Li Ruhai. Li Ruhai did not stay in the mail room in vain, and pointed Zhao Jun to the office of the secretary of the forestry farm.
The scale of Little Redwood Forest Farm is far smaller than that of Yongan Forest Farm. They don't have an office building either. The offices of the leaders and several major work groups are all bungalows.
Jeeps and Liberation trucks drove over, and many people saw them from the windows.
When Zhao Jun got off the car, he saw the door of the bungalow open and two people walked out.
"Hmm?" Zhao Jun recognized one of them and immediately greeted him, "Chief Li."
"Hey, Zhao Jun!" Li Chunming, with bubbles all over his mouth, saw Zhao Jun and felt like he saw a savior.
Li Chunming inherited the true teachings of Zhao Youcai. After feeding the Siberian leopard two sheep, Wei Huaixin, the secretary of Little Redwood, called and reported the matter to Chu Anmin.
This made Director Chu very angry!
Chu Anmin was angry, not because Li Chunming failed to take down the killer leopard, but because before Li Chunming came, Chu Anmin thought he was not good enough.
But the problem is, Li Chunming insisted on coming!
Not only could they not solve the problem, but they also let the forest farm take away two sheep. This was why Chu Anmin was so angry.
That day, Chu Anmin told Wei Huaixin on the phone that he would ask Zhao Jun to come and deal with the Siberian leopard, and he did not say to let Li Chunming go back.
But Li Chunming did not give up and insisted on staying in the Little Redwood Forest Farm.
Seeing people getting off the bus one after another, Li Chunming stretched his neck to look for the person he was familiar with.
When Wei Huaixin heard Li Chunming calling out Zhao Jun's name, he hurried forward and shook hands and chatted with Zhao Jun enthusiastically.
Not to mention that Zhao Jun came to help them, Wei Huaixin could tell from the phone call that day that Zhao Jun was a favorite of Director Chu.
Zhao Jun and his companions entered the house and found that the conditions in the small redwood forest were quite harsh. There was no heating in the house, and the only way to keep warm was to burn the stove and the furnace tube.
But this room is spacious enough, and maybe they sometimes hold meetings here, so there are long benches.
Zhao Jun and others sat down one after another. Based on the principle that human life is of paramount importance, Zhao Jun asked Wei Huaixin, "Secretary Wei, how is it today? Did that leopard hurt anyone again?"
When asked this by Zhao Jun, Wei Huaixin glanced at Li Chunming beside him and said to Zhao Jun, "Well... today, the leopard really didn't hurt anyone, but Old Wu, who was herding sheep for the production team, said that the leopard had robbed their sheepfold."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this, and Li Chunming next to him blushed.
