Chapter 394: Plan Implementation and Yi Zhonghai's Achilles' heel
Early June.

Early in the morning, Wang Mengde arrived near Qianmen Railway Station.

Today is the day Liang Mancang takes the train back to Northeast China.

“Brother Liang, due to time constraints, only a few hundred thousand bottles of “Palace Emperor Pills” have been produced. You can use these first.

Once we work overtime to produce a batch, we will ship it over in time. If you need more, please give me a call and I will report to my superiors and allocate two more pharmaceutical factories to produce this medicine."

Next to the train, Wang Mengde said to Liang Mancang.

More than ten days ago, the leader of the health and family planning department contacted several departments and briefly explained the smuggling issue with the Far East.

Unexpectedly, the leaders of those departments agreed unanimously without even thinking about it, and expressed their full support.

The reason why they are so excited is because of the benefits here.

Previously, the health and family planning departments exported medicines and earned a lot of foreign exchange, which made them all envious.

Only the relevant departments, by chance, got the perfume export business and made a big profit, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange every year.

No matter how envious other departments are, they have never had the opportunity to get involved.

Now, the health and family planning department has sent them a big gift, so there is naturally no reason for them to refuse it.

As for the risks involved, they were ignored by the leaders of these departments. If there were no risks, they would not have been able to get this good thing.

Besides, this is a very profitable business.

China only needs to provide the "Palace Emperor Pills". Although this medicine is very popular abroad, its price is not cheap.

In fact, the cost is not that much. Most of the raw materials are very cheap things such as Chinese herbal medicine and flour.

It can also be produced manually, and the cost of workers is very low.

What it gets in return are industrial equipment and industrial products, as well as various resources that the country urgently needs.

These things used to require foreign exchange to purchase, but now they can be exchanged for medicines at a negligible cost.

Anyone who is smart knows how big the profit is.

So the leaders of several departments met together, and after discussing the matter, they joined together to write a report application to their superiors.

They originally thought that it would take a long time to get a response to this report, but they did not expect that the higher-ups would give instructions in less than three days.

The words "You can try it, but be careful" made the leaders of several departments very excited, and they immediately began to implement the plans they had prepared in advance.

The first thing is naturally the production of drugs, which is the basis for determining the success or failure of smuggling.

Fortunately, Wang Mengde reminded his superiors a few days ago, and with sufficient raw materials and the integration of various pharmaceutical factories, production capacity has greatly increased.

Within half a month, hundreds of thousands of bottles of "Palace Emperor Pills" were produced.

It happened that Liang Mancang was due to return, so a train was dispatched to send them to the Northeast together.

"Meng De, thank you for your troubles during this period. I called the leaders of the reclamation group a few days ago and asked them to contact the Russians in the Far East. Now they are waiting for me to return with the medicine.

If the first batch goes well, I will communicate with Beijing in time and produce more medicines in exchange for industrial equipment, resources and industrial products. "

Liang Mancang said excitedly.

Because of this, he has been praised a lot by his superiors these days, who said that he has made a great contribution to the department.

This is no exaggeration.

According to estimates by relevant personnel from several departments, if this smuggling business can really be carried out smoothly.

Although foreign exchange cannot be earned, the resources, equipment and industrial products of the Far East are still rare "treasures".

Especially since it is so close to the Northeast Industrial Zone, as long as the above-mentioned can be transported to the Northeast region continuously.

Domestic industry, especially heavy industry, will definitely take off.

The departments that participate will also receive recognition from above, which is more attractive than money.

"Okay, Brother Liang, I'll wait for your good news."

Wang Mengde said with a smile, and then he estimated that the time was almost up, so he urged:
"It's time to drive. Brother Liang, please get in the car."

After seeing Liang Mancang off, he and Dai Botao walked out of the train station.

On the way, Dai Botao also talked about He Shengwu's work situation.

The formalities are currently being processed, and it is estimated that in about a month, his brother-in-law will be able to transform from a driver in the car team to a clerk in a certain department.

"Brother Dai, are you about to move?"

"Haha, Meng De, I won't hide it from you. I have been working in my current position for two years. If I want to move up, I will most likely be transferred to other provinces, cities or regions to take up a position of real power.

I will also consult with some old leaders to see which province or city is better to go to.

But don't worry, even if I leave, your brother-in-law will not be left out in the cold in his current unit. The person who takes over will most likely be one of my old subordinates."

Dai Botao whispered the truth.

Such personnel changes are confidential and should not be disclosed to the public.

But Wang Mengde is not an outsider, and the other party is very powerful and knows more leaders than him, so it doesn’t hurt to talk about it.

"Well, Brother Dai, this is an essential process. It's not bad to stay abroad for a few years. Once you have achieved some results and have some activities, you can come back."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

He wasn't worried about his brother-in-law's work situation at all.

Even if Dai Botao left, and his successor was not his old subordinate, it would not prevent others from being involved.

Not to mention those from other places, all the leaders, big and small, in Beijing know his reputation and his excellent medical skills.

Things in the world are unpredictable. People who eat all kinds of grains cannot avoid getting sick, so no one wants to offend a doctor with superb medical skills who can save lives at critical moments.

“Once I’m sent out, I don’t know when I can come back.

As for Lao Liang, if he can handle this matter well, he will probably be able to return to Beijing next year, and he will even hold an important position. "

Dai Botao shook his head.

He knows his own business. Even though he has many old leaders, many of his comrades are doing well.

But it is extremely difficult to come back after being released.

With my current status, every step I take is extremely difficult, let alone in the capital.

Wang Mengde was powerless to do anything about this kind of thing.

He knew many leaders, many of whom were well-known in his previous life, but the transfer of personnel relationships required a lot of favors.

Therefore, those relationships will not be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

Return to my home in Nanluoguxiang.

Just in time for lunch.

As soon as Wang Mengde arrived at the front yard, he smelled the aroma of meat. Without asking, it was most likely coming from his home.

The old Yan family.

Yan Bugui sat on a stool, sorting the fishing lines and fishing rods, twitching his nose from time to time and swallowing his saliva occasionally.

When he saw Wang Mengde, he smiled and said:

"Meng De is back. I went to the middle courtyard this morning and saw your mother killed a big rooster. The rooster must have weighed at least five pounds, and she chopped off a small bowl of meat.

I estimate it has been stewing for nearly an hour, and the aroma has even drifted to the front yard." As he spoke, his face was full of envy.

There are more than 20 families living in this courtyard, and the situations of most families are similar.

We could eat meat two or three times a month, but at the end of the month when food coupons were about to be distributed, we could only eat half full.

of course there are exceptions.

Sha Zhujia from the Central Courtyard works as a chef at a steel rolling mill. He has outstanding cooking skills and people can bring lunch boxes home every now and then.

Those were the meals that the factory leaders prepared to entertain guests, and they were very greasy.

Therefore, there is a lot of meat in their home, and neither adults nor children will go hungry.

There is another special one, that is Lao Wang’s family.

Since Wang Mengde was able to bring a large amount of supplies from his workplace to his home, his family had no shortage of food, clothing, and daily necessities.

When other families could only eat steamed corn bread, they could eat white flour and rice for every meal.

When other families can only eat meat two or three times a month, and each meal only has three or four taels of meat, which needs to be shared by several members of the family.

Their family can now eat meat every day, and the amount is unlimited.

Whether it is pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, fish, eggs, etc., as long as Wang Mengde wants, he can bring ten or eight kilograms home at any time.

Even dozens of kilograms are no problem.

After all, the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital receive too many supplies donated by foreign patients every month.

Most of these were given willingly because Wang Mengde could cure their illnesses.

Therefore, in addition to handing over most of the supplies and keeping a small portion in the logistics department, the superiors and senior leaders had already asked Wang Mengde to use these supplies at will.

Of course, he would not take too much, just enough for his family, his father-in-law, and his grandparents' home in Tiangezhuang.

"Haha, Uncle Er, I'll go back first.

By the way, if you catch some big crucian carp, please remember to leave a few for me. I will exchange them for industrial coupons or food coupons."

Wang Mengde didn't care about his envious look and wanted to go straight to the central courtyard, but suddenly he remembered that his wife was pregnant, so he stopped and said.

"Meng De, are you still willing to exchange industrial vouchers for fish from me?

Don't worry, I'll go fishing after lunch and I promise to bring you a few big crucian carp in the evening."

Yan Bugui said in surprise.

He couldn't quite believe that Wang Mengde was actually willing to exchange industrial coupons with him.

You know, now no matter what industrial products you buy, you must use the corresponding tickets, unless you have industrial coupons.

Whether it is buying daily necessities such as iron pots, washbasins, kettles, sewing needles, towels, etc., or large items such as alarm clocks, radios, sewing machines, bicycles, etc.

All of them need to be purchased with industrial vouchers.

Even cigarettes, tea, liquor, etc. outside the quota can be purchased with industrial coupons.

It can be said that industrial coupons are particularly useful to ordinary people.

Because most families can get three per month, which is considered a lot.

We need daily necessities, and we can’t save much in a whole year.

That is to say, Wang Mengde's family not only had a lot of industrial coupons, they could get more than a dozen a month, and they basically didn't use them. Most of the materials they needed could be brought home from the unit.

A few days ago, he heard He Shengnan say that many tickets in the boxes at home were about to mold, and it was difficult to take them out and dry them in the sun.

I was troubled by this for a while.

That's why Wang Mengde exchanged industrial coupons for fish.

"Second uncle, I have never fooled you, so what I said is of course true.

As long as you catch a few big crucian carp and ask Jie Kuang to send them to my home, I will give you an industrial voucher immediately."

"Okay, okay, Meng De, just wait for my good news at home."

After hearing his assurance, Yan Bugui immediately became very motivated and wanted to go out right away to catch a few fish so that he could exchange them for an industrial voucher.

Middle Court.

Wang Mengde arrived home.

The big rooster stewed in the pot is ready.

Ran Xiaomei opened the lid and a fragrance spread along with the hot steam.

At Sha Zhu's house, little Sha Zhu was leaning against the door looking over here, his mouth almost drooling.

Wang Mengde stood by and waved to Xiao Shazhu. When he came up to him, he whispered:
"Little Shazhu, go home and bring a big bowl over. I'll fill some chicken for you to eat."

"Thank you, Mr. Mengde."

When Xiao Shazhu came back, he was holding a large blue and white porcelain bowl in his hand. Wang Mengde took a spatula and filled the bowl with chicken, beans, vermicelli, etc.

After a while, just when they were about to eat, Sha Zhu walked in from outside with a small porcelain basin in his hand.

"Uncle, aunt, Meng De, this is the cucumber I pickled. It's very appetizing. Please have a taste."

Just now his son brought back a big bowl of meat dishes. After he asked for details, he directly took out a small bowl of pickled cucumbers from the jar at home to return the favor.

Old He’s house.

Yu Li looked at the big bowl of meat and vegetables, a plate of mapo tofu and fried eggs with garlic sprouts on the table, and said to Sha Zhu:

"Shazhu, the food today is good, let's call the old lady and Uncle Yi over to eat together."

Since she married into the He family, she was quite clever and quickly sorted out the relationships in the courtyard. She knew that the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai and his wife were all her own family.

"Okay, Uncle Yi and I can have a few drinks together."

Sha Zhu nodded and then instructed his son: "Son, go and call your wife and grandparents to come over for dinner."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shazhu took a piece of chicken in his hand, ate with oil dripping from his mouth, and ran out quickly.

He first went to the backyard and said something to the deaf old lady, then went to the east wing and said loudly at the door:

"Grandpa Yi, my parents asked me to invite you over for dinner."

In the living room, Yi Zhonghai was about to have dinner. After hearing what Xiao Shazhu said, he was stunned for a moment, then asked with a stiff smile: "He Yu, who told you to call me Grandpa Yi?"

Before, Xiao Shazhu always called him grandpa directly, but he didn't expect that he would add a surname today, which made him feel very alert.

This matter is really strange and we have to be on guard.

He is very sensitive when it comes to issues related to retirement.

"Grandpa Yi, my grandpa taught me to call you that yesterday, right?"

Little Shazhu raised his head naively and answered.

"Haha, little guy, you can continue to call me grandpa in the future. Grandpa will buy you some candy later. Let's go to your house for dinner."

Yi Zhonghai said with a kind face.

When He Yu turned around, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He Daqing, you touched my weak spot, and you asked for it.
