After receiving the purchase price list, Li Qin left Wang Dawei's office.
After coming out, he said goodbye to the recorder Chang Xia and the purchasing agent Feng Guang, and then left the purchasing department.
Without any delay, Li Qin went straight to Li Huaide's office.
"Xiao Qin, you're here!"
At this moment, Li Huaide's office door was open, and Li Qin knocked on the door and went straight in.
Of course, this was because there was no one else in the office except Li Huaide, which made the atmosphere much more relaxed.
If there were other people around, Li Qin would also be careful.
"Uncle Li, I came here to tell you that I plan to leave soon."
Considering that they were about to leave, Li Qin did not sit down, but stood directly opposite Li Huaide.
Upon hearing his words, Li Huaide immediately stood up;
"In that case, let's go to the security office to get our guns first, and then we'll get our bicycles."
As he spoke, Li Huaide handed him a piece of paper.
Li Qin didn't even look at it before taking it and putting it away.
He knew without even looking that this was proof of his purchases in the countryside, so that the militia wouldn't mistake his identity and arrest him.
Seeing this, Li Huaide simply smiled and said nothing.
The two then went to the security department's armory.
Because Li Huaide was with him, and it was common for purchasing agents to carry guns when they went out to buy supplies, Li Qin soon found himself with a gun.
Type 51 military pistol!
This is a firearm that was copied by a domestic arsenal in 1951 from the Soviet-made 7.62mm TT30/33 "Tokarev" pistol.
It was designated as the Type 51 7.62mm pistol.
This marked the beginning of China's domestically produced handguns.
Although the firearms look a bit old, they are well-maintained and their performance is still fine.
Of course, Li Qin didn't even consider using the gun.
Most importantly, Li Qin had never used a firearm before; at most, he knew how to pull the trigger. So, the thing he was holding was more of a vibrating tweezer.
If something really happens, he will definitely have even more faith in his magic.
"Xiao Qin, there's not enough time for you to familiarize yourself with the pistol this time. After this matter is finished, I'll have the security personnel teach you how to use it."
Li Huaide handed ten bullets to Li Qin.
Normally, purchasing staff can only collect a maximum of five bullets when they go out. Considering that Li Qin has never used a pistol, his accuracy is even more questionable.
If something really happens, five bullets definitely won't be enough.
Taking all this into account, Li Huaide gave them ten bullets.
Li Qin did not refuse and nodded to accept it.
After completing the registration, the two went straight to the bicycle shed:
"Xiao Qin, although the logistics department still has some bicycles, most of them are only about 50 or 60% new. This one is slightly better, about 80% new."
From now on, this bicycle is yours to use. I've prepared all the paperwork for you. When you come back, remember to come to my place to pick it up. Li Huaide pointed to a bicycle in the bike shed.
Although the bicycle will be used by Li Qin in the future, the ownership still belongs to the steel rolling mill.
However, to prove this, the steel mill will also issue relevant certificates to the people who distribute the bicycles.
This way, even if someone asks, the origin of the bicycle can be proven.
Li Qin looked in the direction Li Huaide pointed and immediately saw a bicycle that was about 80-90% new.
Upon closer inspection, I was surprised to find that it was still a Phoenix brand bicycle.
Actually, the Phoenix brand bicycle originated from Tongchang Bicycle Shop, which was established in 1897. It was the first bicycle shop in China.
On January 20, 1956, through a joint public-private partnership, Tongchang Bicycle Shop was officially transformed into Shanghai Phoenix Bicycle Factory and began producing Phoenix brand bicycles.
In other words, this car has only been on the market for a few months at most, no wonder it looks 80-90% new.
Li Qin even suspected that the car might have been specially found for him by Li Huaide.
Otherwise, how could such a good bicycle have ended up in the hands of a purchasing agent?
Li Qin simply smiled and accepted Li Huaide's kind offer.
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
Li Huaide knew from Li Qin's expression that the other party was aware of his good intentions, and then he smiled as well.
However, he suddenly thought of something else and looked at Li Qin with some uncertainty, asking;
"Xiao Qin, can you ride a bicycle by yourself? Do you need me to find someone to teach you?"
Bicycles were relatively rare in that era, so there were also few people who knew how to ride them.
Li Qin used to be a day laborer, so his chances of coming into contact with bicycles were extremely slim.
Therefore, Li Huaide's concerns are not without merit.
To his surprise, Li Qin spoke with an air of confidence.
"Don't worry, Uncle Li, I can ride a bicycle. I learned from my friend."
Li Qin couldn't say that he knew how to ride a bicycle before he time-traveled, but he also didn't want to pretend that he didn't know how to ride a bicycle, so he could only say that he had learned from a friend.
Li Huaide knew that the friend Li Qin mentioned was no ordinary person, so it was normal for him to have a bicycle.
Therefore, he did not doubt Li Qin's words.
Li Huaide gave the car keys to Li Qin.
Li Qin took the keys and then tried out the bicycle.
Although I was a little rusty at first, I quickly became proficient.
Seeing this, Li Huaide was finally relieved.
"Uncle Li, I'll set off now. If all goes well, I should be back before I get off work."
Li Qin rode his bicycle and stopped in front of Li Huaide.
Li Huaide nodded;
"Xiao Qin, thank you for your hard work."
At other times, there is naturally no need to be in such a hurry.
Li Qin went to the countryside today. Even if he comes back early, he doesn't need to go back to the steel rolling mill, so it doesn't matter.
But Labor Day is just a few days away.
Before that, they had to sort out the meat issue, so they had to rely on Li Qin.
However, Li Huaide also remembered Li Qin's efforts, and he was already thinking about what reward he should give Li Qin after this matter was over.
After saying goodbye to Li Huaide, Li Qin rode his bicycle out of the steel rolling mill.
However, when Li Qin was passing through the gate, he was stopped by the security guard on duty because he was riding a bicycle and it was during working hours.
Only after Li Qin produced the purchase certificate and other documents was he able to leave the steel rolling mill smoothly.
While a bicycle isn't as fast as using Apparition, it's much faster than walking.
Soon, Li Qin had already ridden his bicycle out of the north gate of Beijing.
His target this time was some areas in the north of Beijing. The north of Beijing mainly includes the CP District, Mentougou District, and FS District.
Within these districts are numerous villages, including Beishi Village, Shuangxiao Village, Xinzhuang Village, Niukouyu Village, and Xifen Village...
Qin Huai's maternal home, Qin Family Village, is also located in the north of Beijing and belongs to Changping District.
During this trip to the countryside, Li Qin plans to visit all the nearby villages.
For no other reason than to familiarize myself with the route.
To prepare for future rural procurement trips.
After leaving Beijing, there were far fewer pedestrians on the road.
Moreover, most of the people on the road were farmers dressed in very simple clothes.
When these people saw Li Qin riding a bicycle, their eyes flashed with curiosity and envy.
In fact, it wasn't just these people; when Li Qin rode his bicycle through Beijing, pedestrians on the road would also look at him with similar eyes.
During this period, the number of bicycles in Beijing was relatively small.
Naturally, people would find it strange.
