Reborn in the 60s, starting with going to the mountains and countryside

"Xiaoye, get ready. Come with me to the Northeast tomorrow." I heard Master Zhang say as soon as I arrived at the Purchasing Department office this morning.

"Master Zhang, why are you going to the Northeast?"

"In the past few years, there has been insufficient steel across the country. A few days ago, the director of the machinery factory came to our Materials Bureau to cry for poverty, saying that there was no steel and they would stop production. However, the quota above was only so much, so the leader asked us to Go to Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and see if you can get unplanned steel."

"Okay, what do you need me to prepare?"

"Just prepare your own clothes."

Early the next morning, Ye Hao came to the purchasing department with his bag on his back.

"Xiaoye, put your bag down first and wait until we take the bus to the train station. There will be a ride."

It was almost noon, and Ye Haocai and Master Zhang got on the truck of the Materials Bureau.

"Xiaoye, this is your first business trip. There are many ways inside. Please be more careful when you go out alone in the future."

"Uh-huh"

"First of all, you can ask the leader to approve the note in advance and advance some money. Otherwise, with the money you have, I'm afraid you won't have enough money to return to the capital..."

To put it bluntly, the ticket is only reimbursed for the hard seat. If you want to take a sleeper, you have no choice. Of course you can pay for it yourself, but you need to see the hard seat ticket when reimbursing.

Accommodation is also reimbursed, but only ordinary single rooms are reimbursed at most.

Meals are included in the subsidy. They get two yuan for a day's business trip. As for how much they eat, it's up to you. For Dunton, corn tortillas and steamed buns, the rest is yours. If Dunton wants to eat meat, you may have to pay extra.

As for those business expenses, as long as the task is completed, they will usually be reimbursed. After all, their procurement is not like those of later generations. The supplier is begging you to purchase his things.

In this day and age, everything is in short supply, so people don’t have to worry about selling their stuff. Whether I can sell it to you depends on your ability.

bang bang bang~

Ye Hao, who had only returned to the capital for less than half a month, boarded the train out of customs again.

Ye Hao and Master Zhang have become very familiar with each other during this time, and the journey was not boring. Master Zhang told Ye Hao many interesting stories about his previous purchases.

Master Zhang had a background as a dock worker. After the company became publicized and collectivized, he was assigned to the Purchasing Department to give full play to his expertise.

Ye Hao and his wife arrived in Shen City the next day. After getting off the train, they went to a state-owned hotel for a hot meal. All they ate on the train were dry pancakes.

Each person ordered a bowl of hot noodles and drank the soup and noodles.

"I finally recovered, Xiaoye, are you full?"

"I am full."

All the expenses this time were paid for by Zhang Huazheng, who applied for the business trip expenses for the two of them in advance from the finance department.

After dinner, the two got on the train to Anshan again. This time it was much faster. When they arrived in Anshan, it was still dark, so they stayed at the guest house in Anshan. It was getting late, and Zhang Huazheng didn't want to visit Angang's leaders so late.

The whole night was silent, and the next morning, the two of them had breakfast at the guest house.

"Xiaoye, pick up that box and follow me. The main purpose of your visit this time is to study. Talk less and watch more."

Ye Hao followed Zhang Huazheng carrying a box. Ye Hao didn't know what was in the box. Zhang Huazheng had been carrying this box since he set off.

The two of them were stopped by people from the security department at the factory gate. Master Zhang told them his purpose. The two waited for a while. The security officer who ran to notify them came back and took them to the factory office.

"Director Zhao, congratulations. I haven't seen you for a few years. Now you are the director of the factory."

"Old Zhang, haha, I haven't seen him in a few years. He's not the director of the factory. I'm just a deputy in charge of logistics."

The two chatted for a while.

"Old Zhang, what are you doing? Haven't they all been collectivized? Are you still running around the dock?"

"I am also working for the government now. I am currently working as a purchaser at the Capital Materials Bureau. It is not that there is a shortage of steel there. This does not allow me to come and see if I can get some unplanned steel."

"As you know, there are shortages everywhere now. I'm just a logistics person, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"Can you please let me see the leader of your factory? I can't help it. I'm waiting for the steel to start the machine in the capital."

"Okay, we have been friends for so many years. Let's do it this way. I will make arrangements here at noon, and you can tell the factory leader then."

……

The lunch dinner was a success. Zhang Huazheng's mouth was worthy of being a man running the dock. It was quite slippery. He originally spent money to buy things. Everyone spent money to see who could do things better. Zhang Huazheng knew the interests and hobbies of the factory leaders in advance. , all the bosses said at the wine table liked to hear, drink well with the boss, plus the box of small gifts, I got the unplanned steel.

After a meal, Ye Hao also saw that today's buyers are just like the salesmen of later generations, but the relationship between supply and demand is different.

Ye Hao also contributed a lot to today's meal. After all, there were many people at the wine table. Zhang Huazheng alone would definitely not be able to accompany them all. Ye Hao's drinking capacity is such that he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Putting three people across from each other made the factory leaders shout loudly.

Ye Hao helped Zhang Huazheng, who had drunk too much, back to the guest house. It wasn't until it was getting dark that Zhang Huazheng woke up leisurely.

After briefly washing up, they went to the restaurant to eat.

"Xiao Hao, your drinking capacity is quite good. Those guys are all natives of the Northeast, and you have let them down. It's amazing."

"Hey, I don't know how they fell down so easily."

"Xiao Hao, honestly, how much can you drink?"

"I don't know, I haven't tried it."

"With your drinking capacity, you really are a natural buyer."

……

The next morning, Ye Hao followed Zhang Huazheng to Director Zhao's office. Zhang Huazheng also brought a small package with him.

"Lao Zhang, what's the matter? Didn't it be decided yesterday?"

"I drank too much yesterday. I'm not here to borrow your phone. I'm going to call the Materials Bureau and ask them to remit money to you."

Master Zhang called the Materials Bureau and explained the situation here. They asked Zhang Huazheng and Ye Hao to stay here for a few days until the remittance order arrived and the steel was loaded onto the truck before going back.

"Director Zhao, thank you. Then we won't disturb your work and go back to the guest house first." As he said this, Zhang Huazheng placed the small package in his hand on the chair in Director Zhao's office.

"Well, if you need anything here, just come to me." Director Zhao glanced at the package on the chair out of the corner of his eye.

……

"Ye Hao, we are going to live here for a while. If you feel bored staying in the guest house, go out and walk around."

"I understand, Master Zhang. Then I'll go out for a walk."

"You must be careful outside. You must come back at night. You are not allowed to spend the night outside..." Zhang Huazheng warned Ye Hao again before letting him go out.
