Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 417 Connections
With an eye on straightening out the overall relationship between the Forestry Bureau and the Forest Police Brigade, Yue Feng packed a few more portions of tiger bones and tiger meat from his home store according to demand.
This includes the share promised to Director Du last time, as well as an additional share from Director Lu Liu from Qiao Saner’s side, the captain of the Forest Police Brigade, and even Zhao Kai.
At around nine o’clock in the morning, Yue Feng rode his bicycle into the city and headed straight to the Forestry Bureau.
In the winter, the Forestry Bureau has very little business pressure in terms of forest fire prevention. It only has some trivial tasks such as daily inspections and ensuring production, so it is relatively free most of the time.
Yue Feng rode his bicycle into the Forestry Bureau with ease, carrying a bag of “specialties”, and went straight to the door of Du Chonglai’s office.
Bang Bang Bang!
“Please come in!!”
Soon Yue Feng pushed the door open and walked in: “Uncle, are you busy?”
“Hey, Xiaofeng is here! Come in and sit down! Last time you asked me to contact you, have you figured it out now? Are you here to deliver the goods for me?”
Du Chonglai didn’t know that Yue Feng was almost caught by the forest police. He thought that Yue Feng came this time simply to deliver the promised tiger bones and tiger meat.
“Well, it was done quite well, but I got beaten up, and I’m a little unwilling to accept it!!” Yue Feng came here to ask Director Du for help, so he started complaining right away.
“What the hell? Why are you being punished? Who punished you? Aren’t all the procedures and files prepared for you?” Hearing these sensitive words, Du Chonglai frowned slightly.
“It should be that there is a lack of coordination and communication between your departments! Yesterday I…”
Yue Feng followed up the conversation and recounted exactly what happened yesterday.
In particular, he mentioned the joint law enforcement between the forest police and the Forestry Bureau, as well as the bridge that the deputy director surnamed Liu helped to build for Qiao Saner.
“You mean, the forest police squadron that Lao Liu contacted? Wait a minute, I’ll make a phone call and ask them. If this matter is not handled properly, it will really be a mess. I didn’t inform them about this matter!”
Hearing Yue Feng’s complaints, Director Du immediately picked up the phone and dialed an internal number. He was in charge of logistics and was a powerful deputy in the unit. He usually had a good relationship with these leaders of the same level.
I asked a simple question indirectly on the phone, but the other party did not give a direct answer. Instead, he said that he was in the office and would come over soon.
Less than a minute after hanging up the phone, a fat man with a red face and a big belly pushed the door and walked in.
“Old Liu, look at you. You can make things clear in a few words on the phone, but you still have to come over. How inappropriate! Quick, Xiaofeng, come here. This is your Uncle Liu! This is my nephew, Yue Feng. You can just call him Xiaofeng. He’s your own child!!”
When Du Chong saw the other party coming, he immediately stood up politely to greet him and introduced him to Yue Feng.
“Uncle Liu!” When Yue Feng saw the person who was going to deal with him, he immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.
“Oh! Okay, okay!” Director Liu agreed repeatedly, looked him up and down, and shook hands with Yue Feng, giving him enough face.
“My nephew was almost beaten up by Zhao Kai and his men from the Forest Police Squadron yesterday because of some unfounded incident. Today he came to me to complain.
When I heard this, I knew there must be a misunderstanding. We are all family, and talking it out is better than anything else. What do you think, Lao Liu? ! “
Seeing that the opportunity was right, Director Du immediately turned the conversation to business.
“This matter was asked to me by someone introduced by a friend! Indeed, I don’t know much about it!
Look how awkward it is now, as if there is some rift between us brothers!!”
After hearing this, Director Liu’s tone and attitude were obviously much lower than Du Chonglai’s.
“Can you tell me what happened? My nephew was handcuffed, his head was pressed, and he was taken to the forest police station.
If it weren’t for my friends who spoke up for me, I’d still be locked up in the fence!” Director Du continued to ask.
“Hey, there’s nothing to hide, there’s a guy named Qiao Saner who asked my nephew to find me!
He said there was a small case of poaching rare animals and he wanted me to coordinate with the forest police for help!
You know the ins and outs of this kind of thing, so I didn’t think too much about it and just started a conversation and did you a favor!
I didn’t expect that this job would harm our own child. This old man is really not sincere.
I’ll deal with my naughty nephew later. He’s only bringing trouble to his uncle!
Lao Du, it’s almost the end of the year, you can’t make things difficult for our office because of this matter!!”
Du Chonglai: “Hahaha, what are you talking about?
What happened is over, it’s over. How can I be so petty about an unintentional mistake? Besides, given our relationship, I would never do that!”
They are all experienced old foxes, and Yue Feng, an outsider, really can’t tell which one is true and which one is false.
However, from the communication between the two, Yue Feng was able to draw some useful information.
The first point is that Uncle Du’s rank in the unit must be slightly higher than Director Liu, otherwise the other party would not have such an attitude and tone.
Secondly, no matter how powerful Qiao Saner’s connections are as rumored, that’s not necessarily true. He used connections to get things done through trickery. To be honest, Qiao Saner’s background in the Forestry Bureau is not as strong as that of little Karami himself.
Seeing that the attitude and key information were obtained, Yue Feng saw that the time was right and moved one of the snakeskin bags forward. “Uncle Liu, you are overthinking it. My uncle contacted you mainly to let me get to know you, so that I won’t meet you and not recognize you as my family when I meet you later!
This is some cheap mountain produce that my nephew brought you when he came here. Try something new from home!!”
When Director Liu saw the bag, he was slightly stunned. This was planned in advance. It seemed that they were not here to call for punishment.
“This…” Director Liu turned his head and glanced at Lao Du.
Du Chonglai grinned and said: “Why are you looking at me? My nephew brought this for you. It’s just a token of his appreciation. It doesn’t violate any discipline. What are you afraid of?
Don’t you feel uncomfortable in your joints in winter? Soak these bones in wine and the effect will be quite good!”
When Director Liu heard about soaking bones in wine, he reacted immediately.
There are only a few kinds of bones that can be used to make wine. Qiao Saner asked me for help because of the tiger, and now what he brought me is the most iron-clad tiger bone.
“Then I won’t be polite to my nephew! Do you want me to call Qiao Saner and my nephew to come over and get to know each other? It’s always better to have more friends than more enemies, what do you think, Lao Du!!”
Du Chonglai smiled and shook his head: “It’s just a little misunderstanding. We can just talk it out behind closed doors. There’s no need to mobilize a large force and call in outsiders! Why are you talking about all that nonsense!!
By the way, didn’t I bring you bear paws and bear meat last time? It was Xiaofeng who brought me, Lao Hou, and Lao Zou to the mountains to hunt them!
When we have a chance, we can make an appointment in advance and let Xiaofeng take us to the mountains to hunt! ! “
“Okay! I’ve heard a lot about Xiaofeng’s hunting skills. Let’s look for an opportunity later!”
Yue Feng nodded: “No problem!”
……
After such a simple blending, the knot in Yue Feng’s heart was initially resolved.
A few people chatted in the office for a while. Just then, someone came outside to ask Lao Liu for something, so the other party took the opportunity to leave Du Chonglai’s office.
Yue Feng glanced at the time and felt that it was time for him to withdraw.
“Uncle, the meat and other things we agreed on last time are all here! I still have to go to the forest police station, so I won’t waste your time here!”
“Okay, it’s over now, we haven’t been wronged, and getting to know more people will be good for your future! Keep a calm mind!”
“Well then!”
……
After coming out of Du Chonglai’s office, Yue Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Uncle Du’s say in the Forestry Bureau is slightly greater than he expected. As for Director Liu, Yue Feng at least became familiar with him, so he completed the first stop easily.
Yue Feng has some knowledge about relationships.
They knew each other, but if they wanted to develop a closer relationship, it would require continued investment in the later stages. However, they had made a good start in the morning and Yue Feng got the information he wanted.
On the other side, after returning to his office to deal with trivial matters, Director Liu pondered the situation for a while and quickly called the Forest Police Squadron.
There must be something special about this kid who can get the help of this old fox Du Chong. The reason behind this must be made clear to prevent him from offending other people without knowing it, which is a big taboo.
After some inquiries, the information Director Liu got from Captain Lin really made him a little nervous.
The arrest yesterday did happen, and the person was taken to the base. As a result, the Municipal Bureau called directly to inquire about the matter, and there was actually the shadow of a young master from Beijing involved.
Thinking about how Zhao Kai, a squadron leader, could be made to kneel down and slap someone in the face to apologize, Old Liu broke out in a sweat.
Deeper information and intelligence are not yet clear, but what we have is already in front of us.
There must be a reason why Yue Feng, who is not very old, is called “nephew” by Lao Du.
Now he has come to my house in person and brought a gift, which is really a great honor. No matter what, as long as we have a good relationship with him, it will definitely be much better than the guy named Qiao Saner that my nephew knows.
Thinking of this, Lao Liu called his nephew’s workplace and when he met his nephew in person, he scolded him to his face. Of course, this is all a story for later.
On the other side, after the Forestry Bureau exceeded its plan, Yue Feng rode his bicycle and strolled to the forest police station.
Yesterday he was brought here in handcuffs, but today he came here on his own initiative, and his mentality is completely different.
Captain Lin, Zhao Kai, and Yue Feng all went for a walk with their things.
I won’t go into the details for now, but the main point is that there is no acquaintance without fighting, and I won’t eat all the benefits alone. Captain Lin and Captain Zhao, who had already known a little about the “background” of Yue Feng and others, were naturally flattered after feeling the goodwill that Yue Feng took the initiative to exude.
In less than one morning, Yue Feng had sorted out all his new connections. The gains in expanding his connections were definitely a new breakthrough. (End of this chapter)
