Chapter 271 Stone Tumbler

I found out from someone before that Deputy Director Na Lei lives at No. 328 Shengfu Road.

Xing Yi asked Yang Linxiang to park the car, find a place to play, and wait here in an hour.

Deputy Director Lei got up from his nap and sat in the small courtyard in front of the door to rest, smoking a cigarette and thinking about attending the ceremony at three o'clock in the afternoon. Yong, Xi Chu called you before. He came to visit you. He only takes up 10 minutes of your precious time. He will leave immediately after talking.

He sat on the wicker chair diagonally opposite Deputy Director Lei and placed the gifts behind the wicker chair.

Deputy Director Lei crossed his arms on his chest, raised one hand, held his chin with three fingers, and asked, "Which place is it?"

Xing Yi bowed forward: "I just want Xi Chu to tell Lei Ju first that I am a close friend of his and I am coming to visit. But now I feel that we have actually met before."

"Oh, you and I have met before? Where was that?"

"Wulixiang, it's the hotel in the eastern suburbs of Jinxi City."

"So you are from Jinxi?"

"I am from Jinxi, but I have been working here in Jinyang and only go back on weekends."

"Which department are you in?"

"I'm in Shizuishan Development Zone."

"Development Zone, what do you do?"

"I work regularly and use some of my spare time to engage in the tertiary industry, which means I opened several small factories down there to produce sand and gravel."

"You are engaged in sand and gravel production, and you come here to see me. What do you want?"

"I'm not playing at Xi Chu's place. He likes bonsai and other things. While I helped him carry the rockery rocks, I listened to him talk about relevant knowledge. During his talk, he introduced a minefield. There is one at home. It’s an art showroom, it’s amazing, I really want to visit it.”

"Xi Chu told you this? Then what do you know?"

"I actually don't understand anything. I'm just a primary school student in front of the Lei Bureau. I'm here to visit you, and I don't really want to see your art. I'm not qualified yet. I have something to do. No, Jinxi area is not Do you want to build a hundred base stations? You need a lot of sand and gravel, so I thought this is it, my opportunity has come."

"Then you go to Telecom or the post office. Aren't you getting the wrong person?"

"That's right. The Jinxi District Telecommunications Bureau has Director Baoming. He is in charge of this matter. I would like you to say hello to him."

"Baoming, he's in Jinxi and I'm in Jinyang. He works for telecommunications and I work for the postal service. How do you say hello?"

"Lei Bureau can still joke. Hao Chu told me that Baoming was originally your subordinate. You promoted him step by step. Without your care, how could he become the director of Jinxi Telecom?"

"Why can't I remember the Hao Chu you mentioned? He was the director of that department."

"The administrative office."

“The administrative office of the provincial government or the municipal government?”

"Probably so. I don't ask too many questions when it comes to more private things. We also know each other because of business contacts. He does things quickly and neatly without leaving any sequelae, so he trusts me very much. He also I was warned to ask the mine bureau for help, and then go away without leaving any clues, including my home address and phone number."

"Then tell me, how can I help you?"

"In fact, the matter is not complicated. Just call Director Jinxi Baoming and tell him that one of your old subordinates in your original unit has opened a sand and gravel yard in Jinxi. If you need sand and gravel for the construction of base stations, just ask them to supply it."

"Just make a phone call?"

"Of course, we can tell him about the quality assurance of the sand and gravel, responsible for delivering it to the point, and the low sales price."

"Just make a phone call, and then your sand and gravel will be sent over, sold to them, and you will make money. Is it that simple?"

"How come I, a businessman, don't know the market situation? Let's put it this way, if you agree and say hello, our sand and gravel will be selected and used, and we will give you a commission of [-]% of the total sales. You think it's okay? No?"

"Of course, if Lei Ju thinks it's unreasonable, then you can open your mouth and see if we can bear it."

Deputy Director Lei's fingers touching his chin stopped, and together with the other three fingers, they unfolded into a palm and waved in front of his eyes.

"You want 5.00%?"

"A lot?"

"Certainly, they have never calculated this way. The weight of the sand and gravel supplied to them this time will not be too large, so."

"What do you mean it's not too big? There are one hundred base stations in this phase, and the cost of each one is 20. Five points, how much is that?"

"It doesn't matter how much it is. Even if it doesn't make money, as long as it maintains capital and makes a small profit, it can cover employee wages, operating costs, and prevent the sand and gravel plant from suspending production."

"How do you pay?"

"You hand over an account and I will transfer money into it every month."

"How do I know the progress of your marketing?"

"This is not simple. Baoming has it. If I don't pay in time, you will notify him to stop the checkout and deduct the remaining balance."

"Well, it seems you know the rules very well."

"That's it."

"Let's go, I'll give you another 5 minutes so that you won't have any regrets."

Take Xing Yi to the art showroom.

It is a house of more than fifty square feet, with no windows and a louvered ceiling to ensure ventilation.Light strips are installed on the roof to adjust the light brightness.There are three walls, one with hanging scrolls, one with porcelain, pottery pots, and other antiques, and the third with stones, about twenty or so in odd shapes, some of which are marked with the prizes they won.

Xing Yi saw the stone five steps away. He was so happy that he walked over in three steps and two steps. He squatted down, stared at the stone, and said, "What's going on? Why is this roly-poly stone here?" ?”

Deputy Director Lei followed him: "Why, do you know this stone? Do you know it's called a tumbler?"

Xing Yi straightened up: "Excuse me, Lei Ju, where did this stone come from?"

"How did it come about? I bought it with money."

"Where did you buy it? Was it in Jinxi?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? What do you want?"

"This is a soapstone, a unique one in your house."

"So what?"

Xing Yi bowed, looked at the stone from three different angles, and said, "The more I look at it, the more it looks like. I can't believe it. Can I touch it?"

"Are you afraid that the color will fade if you touch it? Just touch it."

Xing Yi came closer and squatted down, stretched out his hand, first touched the head and face of the stone, then the body, then went down and touched the bottom of the stone twice.

Standing up, he let out a big sigh of relief; "It scared me."

"Anything weird?"

"I once had a stone that was exactly the same as yours. It was called a roly-poly. I asked to touch it and thought, I hope it's not my stone."

"Have you ever had a stone exactly like mine?"

"I've touched it. It shouldn't be the case. It's just very similar. They say that there are no two identical leaves in the world, so there are no two identical stones. That stone stayed with me for a year. Later, it was okay It was easy to take action and transferred it to a civil servant in the agency."

"A very similar stone has been transferred. How much did it cost?"

"I sold it casually for 500 yuan. I even hesitated whether it would be considered unethical to let it harm others."

"Harming someone else? What do you mean?"

"How to put it, it's hard to describe everything that happened. I am an atheist. I believe in facts and don't believe in nonsense. But in the end, I can't believe it anymore."

Deputy Director Lei's eyes squinted and his nose wrinkled.

"Leiju, I won't tell lies when I meet a real person. I spent 500 yuan to buy this stone from someone I didn't know. No, it was that stone. I put the stone into the trunk of the car and left. I was driving on the way home, less than ten kilometers away, when suddenly there was a loud clang in the trunk. I was a little anxious at the time and wanted to increase the accelerator to speed up and go home quickly. The loudness of the accelerator was blocked by the rocks in the trunk. The movement was overwhelmed.”
