Chapter 37: Candid Negotiation
Chapter 37: Candid Negotiation
Li Kailang returned to the factory, handed the three lists to the finance department, and then went back to the transport team's lounge.
I saw a group of masters who had just delivered supplies, smoking and chatting there.
"Xiao Li, you're back." asked a master.
"I'm back, Master Yang." Li Kailang replied.
"How is it, how does it feel to drive these days?"
"It's okay, not as difficult as when I was an apprentice." Li Kailang replied modestly.
"It is indeed difficult when there are no apprentices!" Upon hearing this, the masters nodded.
We are all experienced people. When we were apprentices, we all studied very hard. On the one hand, it was to pass the exam and get a driver's license, and on the other hand, it was also to save fuel.
Apprentices are learning to drive, but there is no gasoline subsidy. The money is saved bit by bit by each driver.
The more money is saved, the apprentice can have one more chance to practice driving, and one more chance to practice driving means a higher success rate.
At that time, gasoline was dependent on imports, and domestic oil fields had not yet been discovered.
"Perhaps I can tell the higher-ups about the Daqing Oilfield, but this requires long-term consideration." Li Kailang thought to himself. At this time, he attached great importance to strange people and things.
Li Kailang also didn't want to be caught and sliced for research.
As if nothing happened, Li Kailang and a group of masters smoked and chatted.
After a while, Li Kailang couldn't stand the smoky lounge anymore. He coughed twice and left in a hurry.
"Hahaha, Xiao Li, you still need to practice!" The masters burst into laughter when they saw Li Kailang's embarrassing look.
Taking advantage of the free time now, Li Kailang plans to find Wang Changjun and talk to him about buying pigs.
Li Kailang only brought 2 taels of candy to the purchasing department.
It’s not that Li Kailang didn’t want to take more things, it’s just that some things were difficult to take out, such as canned beef.
The purchasers have no shortage of some things, such as basic daily necessities, and each person has two packs of cigarettes every month.
Although it is not as good as Daqianmen, it is not an economical cigarette either. Generally speaking, it is not bad.
Only things like candies, which are hard to collect with tickets, have some weight when taken out. However, Li Kailang did not just take out these things, the most important thing was pork.
At this time, the pork ration for each family is not much, and most families only buy it at the end of the month. Unless they have money and buy it on the black market, there is not enough to eat.
Li Kailang went all the way to the Purchasing Department, passed Purchasing Department One, Department Two, and finally to Department Three.
There are four sections in the procurement department, each with about ten people and a section chief.
Section One is responsible for purchasing raw materials for the steel rolling mill, and Section Two is responsible for purchasing daily necessities for the factory. Both departments have connections.
These people staying in the factory can ensure the normal operation of the steel rolling mill.
Departments three and four are the ones that actually do the work in the factory. Both departments purchase materials outside of the plan, but one is more focused on the factory meals, while the other is more focused on the small kitchen in the cafeteria.
Wang Changjun is from the third department. Just like the local pigs last time, most of the pork is used for workers’ meals.
The fourth department tends to prepare small meals, purchasing small ingredients such as chickens, ducks, geese and fish, and is responsible for entertaining leaders and "guests".
Both are different, but both are for the better operation of the steel mill.
"Brother Wang." Li Kailang saw in the office of Purchasing Department 3.
"Brother Li, why are you here!" Wang Changjun said in surprise.
"I'm free now, so I came to see you."
"Brother Li, you are too polite."
"Brother Wang, why do I see you are the only one in the office? Where are the others?"
"It's all thanks to my brother. The local pig asked me to complete this month's purchasing task. Now I have some free time."
"As for the others, they have all gone out purchasing. After all, it's only the middle of the month and everyone hasn't completed their purchasing tasks yet." "I see. But Brother Wang, why is your section chief not here too?" Li Kailang asked puzzledly, but he mainly wanted to ask whether the section chief was in the factory.
"Brother, this is the purchasing department. The section chief also has to go to purchase. It can't be that only our buyers do the purchasing." Wang Changjun said with a smile.
"Too."
After a while, the two of them started talking about a topic.
"Brother Li, you come to me for no reason. Is there something wrong? As long as I can help you, I will do it without hesitation." Wang Changjun vowed.
"Brother Wang, I do have something to tell you." Li Kailang then talked about buying pigs in Qin Village.
After Li Kailang finished speaking, Wang Changjun asked, "Brother, what are you going to do with this pig? You're not going to send it to the factory, are you?"
"Don't worry, Brother Wang. I won't cause any trouble for you. I bought this pig privately for my own consumption. I won't sell it to the factory."
"Is that so?" Wang Changjun thought for a moment, "Then it's okay. Although this pig is within my purchase range, since you bought it privately and didn't sell it to the factory, I can't do anything about it."
"He paused, and then said: "But, brother, I also have something to trouble you."
"Brother Wang, you go ahead."
"It's this pork. Can you sell me some? Don't worry, I bought it privately."
"How much does Wang want?"
"About 10 to 20 kilograms."
"No problem! Besides, I bought the pigs from your territory, Brother Wang, so how could I not give them to you, Brother Wang?" Li Kailang agreed readily.
"Thank you, Brother Li." Wang Changjun bowed.
"No, no! I still need to apologize to Brother Wang." Li Kailang also bowed.
"However, Brother Wang, you have to wait for this meat. It will not be available until the end of the month at the earliest," said Li Kailang.
"It's okay. As long as we can eat pork, it's worth waiting." Wang Changjun said.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, Brother Wang, I'll leave first. You should have a good rest."
"Brother Li, you go and do your work first and don't worry about me," said Wang Changjun.
After Li Kailang left, Wang Changjun touched his chin and said, "This kid has such a big appetite that he dares to buy a whole pig."
As a buyer, Wang Changjun had thought about buying pigs, but pigs were not cheap. Besides, one person could not finish all the pork, and there would be risks if he sold it.
"However, with this meat, my rank can be upgraded and my salary can also increase."
Wang Changjun had made a name for himself in front of the factory leaders because he had purchased local pigs last time. He planned to use the pork to pave the way and see if he could increase the purchase amount.
There are also levels in procurement. Different levels require different procurement funds and can purchase different things.
People at the level of section chief no longer purchase small amounts of agricultural and sideline products, but are now responsible for purchasing certain materials for the factory, such as food.
The food station also has a fixed amount of food supply to the steel mill, which is mainly to ensure the basic food needs of the workers.
If meals were prepared according to this ration, the employees would certainly not be able to eat enough, which would inevitably affect the output of the steel mill.
If the factory's performance is not good, the supply of various materials will be reduced accordingly.
One link after another, closely connected.
Therefore, how to increase food rations has become an urgent problem that section chiefs need to solve.
But these had nothing to do with Li Kailang. After talking with Wang Changjun, Li Kai returned to the transport team happily.
