Chen Zhaozhao thought about the failure of making bean curd in a soy sauce factory in his previous life.
Combined with what Liu Dajun said now, King Liu said he would only accept his tofu. Given the quality of Liu Dajun's tofu and his personality, it is self-evident what will happen to the fermented bean curd produced.
Lin Xisi carefully introduced the entire incident, characters, and relationships to Chen Zhaozhao.
There is nothing to say about the relationship, just what Liu Dajun said.
The soy sauce factory wants to produce fermented bean curd, which is a project that Liu Dawang applied to.
Nowadays, the standard of living materials is getting higher and higher. Although it is still relatively scarce, it is different from the era of extreme scarcity.
Many people in Huixi County make their own soy sauce, and the soy sauce produced by the county soy sauce factory is sold outside the county or even outside the province.
But because it doesn't taste good, soy sauce is increasingly unsaleable, and the efficiency of the soy sauce factory is getting worse and worse.
As the factory director, Liu Dawang decided to start another project to sell bean curd for the sake of the survival of the factory.
Originally, according to his intention, the tofu should be purchased directly from the factory, but at the county meeting, someone raised objections and requested that the materials be provided through the supply and marketing cooperative.
Although King Liu was not satisfied with this, he had no objection.
"But he found me privately after the meeting and asked me to collect Liu Dajun's tofu, but I didn't agree." Lin Xisi said. "Because Liu Dajun is not trustworthy..."
Liu Dajun is a thirty-five-year-old native of the county. He is the youngest son in the family. He has always been favored and loved to do mischief since he was a child.
In the early years, he went to the countryside to work as an educated youth. After he returned to the city due to illness, he had been doing nothing and doing nothing all day long.
Given his family background, it's not that he can't find a job, but that he's too lazy to work.
I actually learned how to make tofu and sold it on the black market, but because the tofu was not well made and could not be sold, I stopped making it.
In the past two years, as he grew older and society changed, he began to want to make money.
It just so happened that the soy sauce factory had such a project, and his elder brother gave him this opportunity to make money.
"The ancestors of the Liu family made their fortune by making soy sauce and tofu. Later, times changed and they no longer engaged in this business. However, the craftsmanship is still there, but although it is a craft passed down from ancestors, the craftsmanship passed down to this generation is not good.
Liu Dajun kept an eye on this opportunity and never thought that someone else would come out halfway."
Chen Zhaozhao nodded after hearing this. She thought for a while and asked solemnly: "Liu Dajun is only thirty-five?"
Lin Xisi, Yu Jinggui, "..."
I thought Chen Zhaozhao was serious about asking questions, but...
Lin Xisi smiled and nodded, "Yes, I only turned thirty-five this year."
Chen Zhaozhao clicked his tongue and shook his head. He didn't expect that Liu Dajun was actually so much younger than he looked. "I thought he was in his forties."
Lin Xisi, "..."
Chen Zhaozhao looked at Yu Jinggui, "By the way, you told me that there might be something else going on in the soy sauce factory's production of tofu. What is it?"
Yu Jinggui frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Originally I just made a guess and didn't fully investigate it, but now this guess can basically be confirmed.
When Liu Dawang proposed making fermented bean curd, he was not sincerely considering the development of the factory, but wanted to use this to make collective money into his own pocket."
"You mean he just wants to make money?" Chen Zhaozhao suddenly realized, no wonder the production of fermented bean curd in his previous life failed spectacularly.
"Money trap?" Yu Jinggui smiled, "Yes, that's a good explanation. King Liu is old and is retiring. Not to mention that there is no one in his family who can take over. Even if there is, the soy sauce factory is not running well. He
I don’t want my children to spend time in this small soy sauce factory.
He arranged for his children to work in large factories in the provincial capital. I guess he just wanted to make a fortune before abdicating."
"Yeah." Chen Zhaozhao nodded in agreement.
Lin Xisi also nodded, "King Liu is not a gentleman to begin with, and he is not someone who thinks about the collective. I was still wondering why he suddenly became enlightened."
"It's impossible for a selfish person like him to gain enlightenment," Yu Jinggui said.
"In that case, Director Lin and I are a stumbling block on their way to making money, and they will definitely not let us go," Chen Zhaozhao said.
"The main stumbling block is Director Lin." Yu Jinggui said and glanced at Lin Xisi.
A sneer flashed across Lin Xisi's gentle face, "I will trip them up directly and make it difficult for them to get up again."
"The Liu family's relationship network in Huixi County is complicated. How can you, a foreign supply and marketing cooperative director, fight with them?"
"You don't need to worry about this. I will take care of it."
"Then what are you going to do about it?"
"Uproot these rotten trees."
"This rotten tree in the Liu family has many knotted roots and is not easy to pull out."
"It has to be pulled out even if it is difficult to pull it out. I will not allow anyone to do such things that harm the collective interests for their own selfish desires under my eyes."
"Then you have to take every step carefully. There are a lot of people watching from your position, and they are watching too."
"I understand." Lin Xisi's face was solemn and he pursed his lips.
This is a huge challenge.
If he wins, he will be able to secure his position as director of the supply and marketing cooperative and move up steadily.
If he loses, he is finished.
Suddenly, Chen Zhaozhao thought of the incident in his previous life where the fermented bean curd could not be sold and the soy sauce factory put the blame on the supply and marketing cooperative, and an idea flashed in his mind.
"Liu Daquan is trying to kill two birds with one stone~"
"What kills two birds with one stone?"
Chen Zhaozhao explained his speculation: "One is to make money, and the other is that King Liu doesn't want to succeed in making fermented bean curd. When the blame comes from the superiors in the future, he will definitely put the responsibility on Director Lin.
Now, no matter what tofu is collected from the soy sauce factory, the soy sauce factory's production of fermented bean curd will eventually fail.
He must also be planning to use this matter to get the position of director of the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Yeah." Yu Jinggui nodded, "It's very likely."
Lin Xisi's expression became a little colder.
Chen Zhaozhao asked, "Is the tofu sold by the supply and marketing cooperative now made by the Liu family?"
"Yes." Lin Xisi nodded, "It was made on Liujia Street."
Chen Zhaozhao nodded clearly, "No wonder Liu Daquan is so hostile to me. I guess they want to monopolize the tofu market in Huixi County, and my appearance is a thorn in their side."
Soybeans in Huixi County are cheap and tofu has a large profit margin. This is a big cake that belongs to them alone. In such a social environment, they are even less willing to have their cake taken a bite by others.
But she insisted on this cake!
"I have a method that can quickly uproot the Liu family."
"What method?" Lin Xisi and Yu Jinggui were both surprised and looked at her curiously.
Chen Zhaozhao smiled "hehe" and said, "Leave it to me and see what I do."
Lin Xisi and Yu Jinggui looked at each other and then looked at Chen Zhaozhao.
Chen Zhaozhao smiled mysteriously, "Director Lin, can you lend me a pen and paper?"
Lin Xisi nodded and took some paper and pen from his desk to Chen Zhaozhao.
Chen Zhaozhao took it and thought about it for a while, and when he was about to start writing, he remembered the bean dregs meatballs.
She put down the pen, opened the bamboo basket containing the meatballs, and handed it to Lin Xisi, "Director Lin, how about you try this first?"
