Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Although the general public is still unaware of the severity of the disaster, Li Huaide's father-in-law, as a senior official, must be aware of some internal circumstances.

Li Huaide then understood what action he should take. He decided to seize the opportunity when everyone was not fully aware of the truth, actively expand logistics procurement channels, and store a large amount of food and meat to meet the workers' living needs.

As long as Li Huaide can use his abilities in this disaster and go all out to guarantee the logistical supply of the steel mill and ensure the smooth completion of the steel mill's production tasks, it will be a major political achievement.

Therefore, Li Huaide took action immediately after learning the news from his father-in-law.

First, he urged the Purchasing Department to find ways to increase the purchase volume, and repeatedly put pressure on the head of the Purchasing Department and Zhou Jin, but the effect was not significant.

Secondly, he used his connections with his father-in-law to reach an agreement with the leaders of the grain department and the meat processing plant to give a slight preference to the steel rolling mill in the planned allocation.

But as time passed, the food shortage became more and more serious. Other departments and factories also learned the severity of the disaster and all flocked to the food department and the meat processing plant.

In order to balance the supply issues of all departments and factories, the grain department and the meat processing plant had to implement the original standards. As a result, Li Huaide’s previous efforts were basically in vain.

The little extra food and meat given in the past few months is nothing but a drop in the bucket compared to the food provided to tens of thousands of people at the steel mill.

In this environment, Li Huaide knew that even if he used all his connections, he would not be able to solve the problem, so it would be better to save them for later.

So now if Li Huaide wants to support the logistics of the steel rolling mill, he has to rely on the purchasing department. He can only put pressure on them and ask them to find ways to open up more purchasing routes and increase the purchasing volume.

August is just a few days away. According to the current situation, Purchasing Group 3 will not be able to complete this month's task. It is a good opportunity to hold a meeting for them and put pressure on them.

Time quickly came to August 1st. After Zhou Jin got up in the morning, the familiar system sign-in sound rang on time.

"Ding, the host is detected in the courtyard, and meets the sign-in conditions. Would you like to sign in?"

"Sign in."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning ten kilograms of beef."

"Ten pounds of mutton"

"Ten pounds of pork"

"Four space upgrade fragments"

"Five high-level Sirius robots"

"All items have been placed in the system space, please check them yourself."

Zhou Jin was also surprised when he heard about this monthly signing reward. The other rewards were easy to understand, after all, he had received them before, but this Sirius high-level robot was indeed the first time he had heard of it.

So Zhou Jin quickly finished washing up, cooked the steamed buns and porridge, then returned to the study, locked the door, and started communicating with the system.

"System, what is this Sirius high-level robot? It feels so high-end."

"Reply to the host, Sirius high-level robots are industrial products of the high-level civilization Sirius. They are high-tech products. They look exactly the same as humans. At the same time, they all have the ability to change their appearance and body shape.

All robots can be controlled by the host and can be visualized within a one-kilometer radius with the host as the center.

Once materialized, the robot will become a living person with a legal identity in this society, no different from a normal person, with emotions and desires, and can get married and have children. The only thing that will not change is its loyalty to the host.

The initial lifespan of each robot is set at one hundred years, starting from the moment of materialization. The gender of the robot is also determined by the host.

At the same time, these robots possess a large number of high-level skills, such as grandmaster-level fighting skills, master-level medical skills, master-level mechanical proficiency skills, master-level industrial research and development capabilities, master-level identification capabilities, advanced business management capabilities, advanced firearms proficiency and advanced negotiation capabilities.

Each robot can be equipped with different skills to adapt to different scenarios. High-level robots can be equipped with two skills. The host has the right to choose skills for the robot.

But once confirmed, it cannot be changed. Please choose carefully. Now please match the skills of your five Sirius high-level robots."

After listening to the introduction of the system, Zhou Jin felt that this robot was too humane. It could also match skills independently, and most importantly, it could get married and have children. He couldn't help but sigh that the civilization of Sirius was indeed amazing.

Of course, now is not the time to lament about these things. Zhou Jin has to match the appropriate skills for these five robots. In this case, they must conform to the current environment and Zhou Jin's needs for the future.

So Zhou Jin started thinking about his plan in his mind. The most urgent task now was to deal with the person in charge of the black market material trading. It just so happened that these five robots perfectly met his requirements.

Since you are in charge of the black market, the necessary skill is grandmaster-level fighting skills. The black market is a mixed place with all kinds of people, from all walks of life, and from both the black and white worlds everywhere. Protecting your own safety is the first requirement.

Secondly, this transaction requires dealing with the black market, so business management and negotiation skills are needed. At the same time, what you need to exchange for materials are gold, antiques, high-end cigarettes and alcohol, and cultural relics, so identification skills are a must.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin already knew how to match the skills of these five robots. In order to facilitate communication, Zhou Jin gave each robot a name, namely Dragon One, Dragon Two, Dragon Three, Dragon Four, and Dragon Five.

First of all, the first skill is grandmaster-level fighting skills, and then Dragon One is equipped with advanced negotiation ability, Dragon Two and Dragon Three are equipped with advanced business management ability, and Dragon Four and Dragon Five are equipped with master-level identification ability.

After dealing with the skill matching problem of the five robots, Zhou Jin thought of another problem, that is, how to communicate with these five robots. After all, there are no mobile phones or video calls now.

"System, how can I communicate with them? There are no such things as mobile phones now."

"Host, all robots have been upgraded through system transformation and have become associated with the system. The host can treat robots as branches of the system and communicate in the same way as the system, using consciousness.

At the same time, after obtaining the host's authority, all robots can also freely dispose of items in the system space."

Not only did Zhou Jin get the answer he wanted, but he also unexpectedly received a pleasant surprise. The robot could control the supplies in the space, which saved the process of finding a warehouse and stockpiling supplies.

At that time, we only need to find a good place for these five robots to live, and then regularly give them control over materials. This will be both safe and convenient.

Zhou Jin loves System Dad so much, because he always provides the most reasonable support when he needs help the most.

Now the robot issue has been almost dealt with. We are just waiting to find two suitable houses, deploy the robots, and then issue commands from home.

This solved all the problems Zhou Jin was facing, and he left the study room happily. The little girl just woke up, so Zhou Jin asked Zhou Xin to wash up quickly, and he went to the kitchen to bring out the hot steamed buns and porridge.

Then simply stir-fry a plate of shredded potatoes, cold cucumber salad, and add pickled Sichuan pickles, and a delicious breakfast is ready.

After the two finished their meal, Zhou Jin took Zhou Xin to his grandfather's house first. Although this was troublesome, it had its advantages. First, it allowed the old couple to take care of Zhou Xin and teach him knowledge in advance.

Secondly, Zhou Xin can accompany the two elderly people so that their lives will not be too lonely.

The third is to prevent Zhou Xin from being bullied in the courtyard or being influenced by those people’s thoughts.

After Zhou Jin made arrangements for Zhou Xin, he rode his bike to the steel rolling mill. Today was August 1st, and the factory was going to hold a cadre meeting, and all cadres had to be present.

Moreover, Zhou Jin was planning to find Director Yang and Deputy Director Li today to resolve the issue of material supply. As for why he didn't just purchase the materials directly from the steel rolling mill himself.

That must be for safety. In the current environment, if a small deputy section chief like you can suddenly take out a large amount of food and meat, how could it not attract other people's attention?

If he happened to run into one or two second-generations, Zhou Jin would probably be eaten alive with his background, so he had to confront the two factory managers.

Only by having them stand up to the pressure can Zhou Jin safely cash in the materials, and he doesn't have to worry about the two factory directors' disagreement.

After all, they are under much more pressure than Zhou Jin now, and the source of this pressure is only one: lack of food.

Deputy Director Li is in charge of logistics. If he cannot get enough food to feed the workers and cannot guarantee the production of the steel rolling mill, he will bear a great responsibility.

Li Huaide was also helpless. Since he was promoted to deputy factory director a few years ago, his job has been stable. The steel rolling mill is a labor-intensive factory and the state has always provided sufficient supply. He also vigorously developed the purchasing department and regularly purchased some unplanned materials from the countryside. Everything has been going smoothly in the past few years.

However, since the beginning of this year, natural disasters have broken out on a large scale across the country, and food supply has been reduced in all aspects, with meat supply being pitifully small. Now that food rations have been reduced again and again, he is also trying hard to find a solution, and for now, he can still hold on.

But the workers who do heavy physical labor cannot survive without oil and water. They eat steamed corn bread and corn noodles all day long, and the dishes are full of soup. The small canteen has not been open for a year, and the canteen workers have not packed up leftovers in half a year.

The whole country was having a hard time, and the workers all knew it, so no one was causing trouble.

But knowing is one thing, even if your mind knows it, your body won’t agree to it.

Recently, many workers have fainted while working. They are not getting enough nutrition and have no strength. Fortunately, nothing serious has happened, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

Later, after investigation, we found out that these people had family members with rural household registration and did not have enough food to eat. At that time, the Jia family was not the only one who took advantage of the country.

Moreover, most of them are elderly people and women with rural household registration, including children. Now asking them to go back to the countryside is like murder for money.

Someone said that you can go hunting at the steel mill, but if someone has a gun, sorry, he can't go.

First of all, the guns and artillery belonged to the security department, and he could not mobilize them. Even if they reached an agreement privately, they could not enter the mountain.

There aren't many deep mountains in the capital, and the resources there aren't many. When the food crisis occurred, the surrounding villages had already made agreements and marked out their territories. If someone hunted with a bow and arrow, no one would care.

If you go hunting in groups with guns, the village chiefs will bring their militia to kill you as an enemy spy.

If we discuss it with the village in advance, I'm sorry, but we have to say hello to the surrounding villages and give them food, which is not worth it.

Not only people were affected by the disaster across the country, but animals were also affected. Many animals became rare species at this time.

As the factory director, Yang Weimin is responsible for the entire steel rolling mill. Although he is mainly responsible for production, he must bear leadership responsibility no matter what problems arise in the factory.

Especially now that food is scarce, the steel mill cannot guarantee the workers' work needs by relying solely on materials planned by the state. If the workers are not well fed, how can they have the energy to produce?

Therefore, the most anxious people in the steel mill right now are Director Yang and Deputy Director Li. After all, they are the most powerful people in the entire steel mill. If they want more power, they must take on more responsibilities.

In order to achieve his own political achievements, Director Yang took the initiative to sign a pledge with the leaders of the Ministry of Industry when he attended a meeting at the ministry last year, stating that the production target of the steel rolling mill this year would be increased by 10% compared to last year, and that it would be guaranteed to be completed on time and in full.

But now more than half of the time has passed, and the production task has not been achieved even half. Even if the leaders of the department have food problems at that time, they will not blame him too much.

But it would also leave a bad impression on those leaders, so Director Yang was so anxious to hold this meeting with Deputy Director Li in order to pool their wisdom and see whether three cobblers can really be as good as Zhuge Liang.
