Chapter 271 Successful Purchase of Timber on Demand
Lu Yao quickly and seriously explained:
"No, it's a custom in our village. When you're doing something, someone pats you on the back as a sign of support and blessing, meaning they're helping you out."
Ju Wen feigned anger and said, "But you can't just take pictures randomly!"
"But I can't just slap your face!"
"Get out of here! See if you dare to take pictures again."
Ju Wen walked out with her face flushed.
He appeared angry, but his mind was in turmoil.
Under these circumstances, Ju Wen would have no choice but to do her best to help Lu Yao.
First, find County Chief Hao, who has just finished a meeting, and then go to the director of the Planning Commission for approval.
Ju Wen's route from top to bottom was correct.
The county head has agreed, so the planning committee can't possibly block the process.
This is a big deal for ordinary people, but for the leaders it's just a matter of a word.
Although resources are scarce, a county town's resources are not so scarce that it would be like having a truckload of timber and some daily necessities.
Lu Yao's approach of starting from the bottom and working upwards is also correct.
First, establish a relationship with the factory manager below. He asked Yuan Hai and Jing Yiming for help, and they would definitely push him upwards.
Once they receive approval from above, they will no longer make excuses to shirk their responsibilities.
And they must admire their own abilities.
They don't yet feel like they're sitting on the stove and on the kang (heated brick bed), using their connections to pressure them.
Things will be much easier from now on.
Lu Yao has a deep understanding of human nature, which makes him very successful in social situations.
If you apply for this yourself, there's a 99.9% chance it won't work.
However, with Ju Wen's help, given her eloquence, ability, status, and background, this matter was not a big deal.
Sure enough, Ju Wen returned shortly afterward.
Both application forms were stamped with a large red seal.
Even Hao Limin personally signed it.
Ju Wen was overjoyed: "Xiao Lu, look, it's all set!"
Lu Yao took it and looked at it.
Ju Wen was still praising him from the side:
"When I first brought this up, County Chief Hao completely disagreed. He said we couldn't set this precedent. I spoke up for you, saying that this was all for the collective's revenue, and there was no personal gain involved. Especially for a hero like you who risked your life to save others, how could you possibly be seeking personal gain? Comrade Lu Yao's mind is entirely focused on doing good things for the benefit of the people."
Lu Yao gave a thumbs up.
Ju Wen continued, "The county magistrate really listened. Considering your situation, it's certainly commendable that you're already working to improve the production team's situation while your injuries are still healing. However, he also added that it was for my sake!"
Ju Wen revealed a slightly smug expression, which was very cute:
"Shouldn't you treat me to a movie?"
A girl he sexually assaulted then asked him to take her to a movie.
Therefore, her feelings for herself are self-evident.
Lu Yao suddenly leaned forward and kissed her cheek with a "pop":
"Thank you, Sister Wen."
Ju Wen covered her face, looking caught off guard and taken advantage of, her eyes wide open:
"What are you doing? This is the workplace, someone might see us..."
Lu Yao reached out and slammed the door shut, pinning Ju Wen against the door panel.
"Since no one can see this time, give me a kiss, it's only fair!"
"Go away, I won't kiss you."
Ju Wen kept pushing against his chest.
Her face looked like it had been scalded by hot water; it was red and hot.
"Then I won't let you go."
"Little Lu Yao, get out of my way, or I'll get angry!"
"Then give me a kiss."
Lu Yao pressed both hands against the door, his arms enveloping Ju Wen.
The two were face to face, and their breaths could be heard.
Ju Wen blushed deeply and avoided Lu Yao's burning gaze:
"Stop messing around, I'm older than you."
"That's not necessarily true; it depends on the location."
"Oh dear, why are you so good at interrupting?"
Ju Wen felt hot all over from being flirted with by this little hooligan.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door:
"Xiao Ju, Minister Wang wants to see you."
Ju Wen quickly pushed Lu Yao: "Get out of the way, I have work to do."
"Kiss me and let go, otherwise I won't."
Ju Wen was helpless.
People outside are waiting for a response.
"Okay, just one bite."
"Um."
Ju Wen swallowed hard and then kissed Lu Yao on the cheek with lightning speed.
Lu Yao smiled.
This secretary is definitely under my control.
Make way.
Ju Wen peeked through the crack in the door, looking as disheveled as if she were fleeing in panic.
Lu Yao obtained the approval from the county government, left the county committee office, and headed to the timber company.
He went directly to Yuan Hai, and once they got to know each other, he no longer needed Yuan Shumei to guide him.
When they arrived at the timber company, Yuan Hai was very polite to him.
Let him into the office.
They poured tea and chatted for over an hour.
Lu Yao didn't mention borrowing timber at first.
First, I discussed Yuan Hai's proposed invention with him.
He drew detailed sketches of furniture designs and claimed to have an improved formula for wood glue.
In short, it completely piqued Yuan Hai's interest.
Then he took Lu Yao to visit the timber factory behind the company.
Lu Yao's appropriate release point provides suggestions for improving the band saw.
The suggestion is to think about planes in reverse: the steel blades of the plane are embedded in a motor and rotate on their own, similar to the principle of a band saw.
Then push the wood over it, and you can quickly plan the wood smooth.
This is much more convenient and faster than using a planer by hand.
It's actually just a simple electric planer function.
I saw the workers still using hand screwdrivers to tighten the screws.
Lu Yao then drew a simple diagram of an electric screwdriver.
As long as you follow the blueprints and have the machine tool mechanic make it, and connect the power switch, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Yuan Hai, a carpenter by trade, found the story delightful.
Just then, Lu Yao brought up the matter of wanting to use timber from the timber company again.
Yuan Hai looked apologetic: "I'm really sorry, Xiao Lu. Shumei also told me about this, but it's not something I, as the factory director, can decide. It needs approval from the planning committee and the county government."
Getting things done these days requires going through hurdles one by one; without connections, none of them are easy.
Lu Yao knew that Yuan Hai felt he had gained a lot of knowledge from him and had developed a great liking for him.
He could receive the rewards from above if he succeeded in any one of these things, but to actually produce anything, he still needed to consult with himself.
Therefore, I won't deliberately make things difficult for myself anymore.
So he took out the application form personally signed by Hao Limin:
"Uncle Yuan, I don't quite understand. Look at this form, I asked a friend to help me apply for it, and County Chief Hao has signed it. Is anything else needed?"
Yuan Hai took a look and was quite surprised:
"Xiao Lu, that's great! If you can get this, then I have nothing to say. It's just two truckloads of timber, I can give it to you on credit, and at the lowest price."
Then, they took him directly to get the paperwork done, and all Lu Yao needs to do is bring a car to pick him up.
Lu Yao was very happy.
It seems that my network of connections wasn't wasted.
We are getting closer and closer to success.
Just then, an employee jogged over:
"Director Yuan, we received a call from the winery saying your daughter is injured and is at the county hospital. You should go and see her soon."
What?
Yuan Hai and Lu Yao were both taken aback.
How did Yuan Shumei get injured?
