Chapter 656 Change 11

Time is like the gurgling stream, silently but unceasingly rushing forward, and the years are like the shuttle on the loom, shuttling back and forth quickly and passing in a flash. In these days that seem long but pass in the blink of an eye, the brothers Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu have really worked hard in the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill and have experienced countless ups and downs.

Looking back, they entered the field of procurement with great joy, full of vision for the future. They thought that they would have a smooth journey ahead, but reality gave them a setback. The business process of procurement was as complicated as a tangled mess that could not be untied, with one thing after another, making people dizzy. Moreover, there were so many unfamiliar categories of materials that people were stunned, such as ore for steelmaking, parts for production lines, and all kinds of office supplies. Just remembering their names was enough to give people a headache, not to mention having a deep understanding of their various characteristics and requirements.

At that time, the two brothers were full of confusion and anxiety. They felt like two small boats lost in the vast ocean. Surrounded by endless sea water, they could not find the direction to move forward. They could only drift helplessly in the rough waves. They were extremely worried.

Fortunately, they have a spirit of not admitting defeat, perseverance, and diligence, just like finding a beacon in the dark that illuminates the way forward, which always supports them. They know that if they want to gain a foothold in this procurement field, they must work step by step and do it steadily. So, they always come to the factory early every day to learn from experienced masters, starting from the most basic material classification, and understanding the purpose, specifications and quality standards of each material little by little. When they encounter problems that they don’t understand, they really break the casserole to ask questions, pestering their colleagues to ask questions until they understand the problem. In this way, through day-to-day accumulation, they slowly mastered the essentials of procurement work, just like people groping in the dark finally found a way out and saw the dawn of hope.

Now, if you look at Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu, they are completely different from the past. They are no longer the two rookies who knew little about procurement and were uneasy when faced with problems. After a long period of training, they have become like steel that has been tempered a thousand times, and have become mature and steady. When they deal with things, they are decisive, without any hesitation or hesitation.

When faced with all kinds of complex procurement tasks, they are like experienced helmsmen, who can always maneuver among them with ease and solve problems with ease. They can even handle many important matters on their own with their own abilities.

Liu Guangqi, in particular, after spending a lot of time and energy to gain an in-depth understanding of the details of various types of materials, fully demonstrated his outstanding talent in controlling details, just like a pearl that was originally covered with dust, finally brushing off the dust and blooming with dazzling light.

Whenever Liu Guangqi receives a task to check the specifications and quality of goods, he will do his best to prepare like a soldier preparing for the battlefield. He always carries a small notebook with him out of habit, which is his "secret weapon". He will sit at his desk in advance and list all the items to be inspected for the goods to be inspected, one by one, carefully, with a serious look, as if he is carving an invaluable work of art.

When he arrives at the place where the goods are stored, he will find a place with good lighting and start the comparison work with full concentration. At this time, you can see that his eyes are as bright and hot as a burning torch, and it seems that he is a scanner that has been debugged with high precision and is extremely accurate. Any slight deviation, even if it is just an extremely insignificant flaw or error, even if the error is so small that it may be difficult to detect with the naked eye, will definitely not escape his sharp eyes like an eagle. As long as he finds a problem, he will immediately stop what he is doing, his expression will become serious, and then quickly record the problem in the small notebook, and will also mark his own views and judgments in detail next to it. His rigorous and meticulous attitude really makes people can't help but give a thumbs up.

His control over details is not only to complete the task, but also because he knows that these seemingly small details play a vital role in the entire production process. It is like a precision machine. Even if there is a problem with a small screw, it may cause the entire machine to not operate normally. Therefore, he never dares to slack off and always maintains such a high degree of concentration and rigor. It is precisely because of this that he gradually won the recognition and respect of everyone in the department and became a trustworthy colleague in everyone's eyes.

I remember one time, a supplier delivered a batch of key parts for production. These parts were crucial to the company's production progress. If there were any quality problems, it would seriously affect the normal operation of the entire production line.

Therefore, Liu Guangqi was extremely cautious during the acceptance process. He carefully compared the parameters marked on the contract and carefully checked the size, material and other indicators of each component. At this time, he suddenly discovered that although the size of a small number of parts was almost the same as the values ​​specified in the contract, there were still some subtle differences that were not easy to detect. Although these differences seemed insignificant, Liu Guangqi knew very well that a thousand-mile dam was destroyed by an ant hole, and this small mistake in details was very likely to cause a series of unpredictable troubles and hidden dangers in the subsequent production links.

Therefore, Liu Guangqi did not hesitate to question the supplier and firmly demanded that the supplier replace the substandard parts immediately. Faced with the supplier's attempt to muddle through with a few simple explanations and pleas, Liu Guangqi was not moved at all. He pointed out the problem righteously and emphasized the importance of product quality to the company, and that no carelessness or compromise was allowed. In the end, under Liu Guangqi's insistence, the supplier had to admit the mistake and replaced all substandard parts in a timely manner as required, thus ensuring that the quality of this batch of goods fully met the company's production needs.

When the supplier first saw Liu Guangqi competing so seriously, he couldn't help but wonder why this person was so stubborn and inflexible. However, when Liu Pingan learned the whole story, he gave Liu Guangqi high praise without hesitation. Liu Pingan said loudly in front of everyone: "This is the rigorous attitude we should have in our procurement work! Every detail cannot be missed. Only in this way can we ensure that we buy good and cheap things and protect the company's interests from loss." These words were like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze that shrouded Liu Guangqi's head, making him straighten his back instantly, with a proud smile on his face. After listening to Liu Pingan's words, other colleagues also cast admiring and appreciative eyes on Liu Guangqi. From then on, Liu Guangqi's status in everyone's mind became higher and higher, and he was recognized and respected by more people.

As for Liu Guangfu, after a period of hard work, he gradually made a name for himself in the field of negotiations with suppliers. He is enthusiastic and cheerful, as if he has a natural affinity, and he can quickly get along with others wherever he goes. Therefore, before each formal negotiation with a supplier, Liu Guangfu can always rely on his excellent interpersonal skills to take the lead in establishing a relatively harmonious relationship with the other party. This good communication atmosphere is like a bridge, which shortens the distance between the two parties and makes the subsequent negotiations go more smoothly.

However, although Liu Guangfu is usually cheerful and unruly, once it comes to core issues such as price and key terms, he immediately becomes a different person, his eyes become sharp and his words become aggressive. He skillfully throws out the factory's bottom line and various requirements. He seems to be chatting and laughing, but in fact he is pressing step by step and not giving in at all. In this seemingly relaxed and happy atmosphere, there are actually mysteries. If you are not careful, you may fall into the trap carefully set by Liu Guangfu.

Another time, the factory urgently needed to purchase a batch of expensive new raw materials. Faced with such a difficult task, Liu Guangfu did not back down. He spent a lot of time and energy doing his homework in advance. He not only learned in detail the quotations given by various suppliers in the market for this batch of raw materials, but also conducted in-depth research and analysis on important information such as the cost components of this raw material. It was precisely because of such thorough preparation as a solid backing that Liu Guangfu seemed to be at ease and full of confidence in the subsequent negotiation process.

He sat calmly at the solemn negotiation table, his eyes sparkling with wisdom. He held the key information tightly in his hands, like a sword of infinite power. He had a fierce and wonderful confrontation with the other party's representative.

The two sides exchanged sharp words, showing wisdom and strategy. He skillfully used the information advantage he had, sometimes speaking in a roundabout way, sometimes speaking directly, and every word hit the point just right. After several rounds of tense and exciting bargaining, he finally succeeded in lowering the price to a level far below expectations and successfully won this batch of vital raw materials.

This brilliant achievement not only stunned everyone in the factory, but also saved the factory a considerable amount of expenses. Liu Pingan, who had been paying attention to the negotiation, was particularly impressed by him, with his eyes full of appreciation and admiration. When other colleagues in the factory heard the news, they also gave him compliments without hesitation, praising Liu Guangfu for his ability!

The outstanding performance of the brothers Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu has undoubtedly become the focus of the entire factory. Their success has made Liu Ping'an, the elder brother, very pleased, and has also filled the entire purchasing department with an unprecedented positive spirit. Everyone has taken them as role models and has become more serious and responsible in their daily work. Everyone has worked hard to do their best.

As time went by, the benefits of this good atmosphere gradually emerged. The entire procurement department has significantly improved both work efficiency and business quality. However, in the face of such remarkable achievements, Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu did not become complacent or proud. On the contrary, they always maintained the humble attitude and strong desire for knowledge when they first entered the workplace.

Whenever they encountered some complicated contract terms or difficult negotiation situations at work, they would go to Liu Ping'an's office without hesitation to ask for advice. Liu Ping'an never refused his brothers' requests for help, and would always patiently analyze the interests involved for them and impart his valuable experience accumulated over the years to them without reservation.

On a sunny day, the factory was bustling with activity, as a unique department exchange meeting was being held. The purpose of this meeting was to promote communication and collaboration among departments and to share experiences and achievements. The most eye-catching team was the Purchasing Department, which performed particularly well.

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu stood side by side and walked up to the podium confidently. They were dressed in neat work clothes, smiling, with determination and pride in their eyes. Facing the expectant eyes of the audience, Liu Guangqi cleared his throat and spoke first: "Hello, colleagues! I am honored to be here today to report to you on our work on behalf of our purchasing department."

Then, he began to talk about every detail of their procurement work in detail. From the initial ignorance when entering this field, to the gradual accumulation of experience and continuous growth; from the anxiety when encountering difficulties such as suppliers and market fluctuations, to the relief after unremitting efforts to find solutions. Every detail seemed to be vivid, making the people present feel the same.

Liu Guangfu added some specific cases to make their stories more vivid. When talking about how to successfully reduce procurement costs and improve material quality, there were bursts of exclamations from the audience; and when talking about the difficult moments of negotiating with suppliers day and night, many people nodded secretly and expressed admiration.

The whole speech was brilliant, and the colleagues in the audience listened attentively, afraid to miss any wonderful moment. Sometimes someone nodded thoughtfully, sometimes there was a low discussion, but more often, they were moved by their experiences and couldn't help but burst into warm applause. This applause was not only a recognition of Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu's personal abilities, but also a praise for the hard work of the entire procurement department.

Their stories are like a beacon, lighting the way forward for other young people in the factory, and making everyone realize that no matter what position they are in, as long as they have dreams, are willing to study hard, and work hard, they will be able to play their own value and contribute to the development of the factory.

As time went by, the factory's business continued to expand and its scale grew. At the same time, the challenges faced by the purchasing department also increased day by day. However, Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu were no longer the rookies who had just started out. After years of hard work, they had grown into capable assistants to the factory director Liu Ping'an.

Whether it is a complex and ever-changing market environment, tight delivery pressure, or a sudden supply chain crisis, they can always respond calmly. With their rich experience and keen insight, they can quickly find the key to the problem and develop effective solutions.

Under their leadership, the entire procurement team worked closely together and supported each other. Everyone gave full play to their own strengths and took the initiative to take responsibility. Everyone worked together to overcome one seemingly impossible task after another.

It is precisely because of such an excellent purchasing team that the factory has always maintained a stable supply of production materials. The product quality of the steel rolling mill has been effectively guaranteed, the output has been steadily increased, and the market share has gradually expanded. In the fierce competition in the industry, the position of the steel rolling mill has become increasingly stable, and its reputation has become better and better. It is striding towards a more brilliant tomorrow!
