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

Zhou Jin returned to the office and first glanced at the crowd to confirm that everyone was there. Then he spoke without further ado.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I have good news for you today.

After the meeting just now, Director Yang called Deputy Director Li, Section Chief Liu and me to go to the director's office.

The two factory managers said that they found a food supply channel through their own channels and connections, which can provide our steel rolling mill with food and meat in a long-term and stable manner.

Basically, it can ensure that the workers in our factory can have enough meals every day. In this way, the pressure on our purchasing department is greatly reduced.

I also know the current situation outside. I have to go to the countryside to purchase supplies every month. It is really difficult to purchase supplies outside now.

It so happened that the factory leaders have solved this big problem, and we no longer have to work as hard as before. So I applied to the two factory managers and they agreed to no longer issue purchasing tasks to everyone, and everyone can do their best.

Of course, this is definitely subject to prerequisites. It is impossible for the factory to pay you wages and you really do nothing, and then support you for nothing.

After our discussion, we decided that starting from today, there will be a three-month probation period. The top five people who purchase the materials within three months will receive rewards. As for what the reward is, I can’t tell you now, but it will be very generous anyway.

Of course, there are requirements for the top five. At least half of the previous procurement tasks must be completed before the ranking can be calculated, so everyone must work hard.

For those who rank in the bottom three for two consecutive inspection periods, the factory will transfer them to other positions based on the actual situation, and they will most likely be transferred to the production workshop.

Of course, if anyone wants to go to the workshop now, they can report to me and I can report it immediately.

Although I will no longer issue purchasing tasks to you in the future, I still hope that you can work hard for your own future.

Of course, you can rest assured that if you meet the requirements for calculating the ranking but are still ranked low, I will not let you go.

I have finished what I want to say. If you have any questions, please ask them immediately. I will be very busy in the coming time, and you may not be able to find me then. "

After listening to Zhou Jin's words, the buyers began to whisper and discuss with each other.

After about three or four minutes, they answered in unison that there was no problem.

Indeed, there is definitely no problem with this. Canceling the procurement task can relieve everyone's pressure. As for increasing the assessment, that is what should be done. We can't let the steel mill run in vain.

Zhou Jin suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, I suddenly thought of something. We can't buy food now, but we can try to get some seafood from the coastal areas, such as Tianjin Port. Although people don't like to eat that stuff, it is meat after all, don't you think?"

Everyone started discussing again. Zhou Jin waited for a minute and saw that they were about to stop, so he interrupted them.

"Okay, let's stop discussing this for now. I'm just giving you a suggestion. As for whether or not you're willing to go, and how many people will go, it's all voluntary.

Those who want to go should report directly to Section Chief Liu and tell him that it was my suggestion. He will go to the Security Department to coordinate. All those who want to go must carry weapons with them. After all, the journey is so far and safety issues must be taken seriously.

If you have no questions, please adjourn. Finally, please be careful when you go there."

Zhou Jin waited in the office for a while, and when he saw that no one had any questions, he went to Liu Jun's office, told him about the suggestion to go to Tianjin to purchase seafood, and then rode his bike to Grandpa Jin's house.

After Zhou Jin left, the purchasing agents from Group 3 started to move one after another. Some went home directly, and some went to the section chief's office.

In the end, out of the twenty people in the three groups, except Zhang Li, there were still five people willing to go to Tianjin to give it a try. These people didn't have any connections, but they didn't want to just sit there and wait. In the end, they were transferred to the workshop, so they decided to give it a try.

Although the journey is long and there may be risks to one's life, once this road is opened, one can basically lie down and rest.

The rest of the people either had their own connections and channels to get supplies, or they planned to keep everything as usual in case they were lucky enough to purchase supplies.

Zhou Jin didn’t know what these people would face in the future. After all, they chose their own path in life, so it was enough as long as they didn’t regret it.

For these people, Zhou Jin can only try his best to provide them with a relatively fair environment and offer some appropriate help. The rest depends on themselves.

Zhou Jin was in a very good mood all the way. So far, everything was developing according to his ideas. Now he had solved the problem of the steel mill and also solved the problem of purchasing pressure for his buyers.

Now for Zhou Jin, there are only two more important things left to be resolved this year. The first one must be to meet Lou Xiaoe, and it would be best if they could get married this year.

As for the second thing, that leaves the black market. With the current output in Zhou Jin's planting space, a steel mill alone is far from enough. In order to prevent his warehouse from bursting, he must develop the black market, and he needs to develop two black markets.

In fact, since Zhou Jin had these five robots, the matter of developing the black market has become very simple. Before this, Zhou Jin had already taken a fancy to two courtyards. Their locations are relatively close to the two largest black markets in Sijiu City, which is very convenient.

After bringing Zhou Xin home, Zhou Jin can find a place to materialize them, so that Long Yi can find a way to buy these two courtyards and use them as their daily residence.

As for the warehouse, when the time comes, let Long Yi and the others find a few warehouses similar to the one Zhou Jin found. Anyway, they are all for concealing the truth and are not really used as warehouses. As long as there is a place, it will be fine.

Then Long Yi can take Long Er and Long San to negotiate with the boss behind the black market. After all, it is impossible for Zhou Jin to sell such a large amount of goods directly in the black market.

Therefore, the most convenient and effective way is to cooperate directly with the black market bosses. We provide the supplies and they are responsible for selling them.

The only thing you need to worry about when cooperating directly with the black market boss is the black eating the black. But given the current situation, anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that anyone who can still come up with a large amount of food at this time must have a strong background.

Therefore, with the level of a black market boss, he will definitely only make friends and not enemies. However, it is different for the small thugs under the black market. They cannot reach such a high level and will only pay attention to the immediate interests. If they go to the black market to sell goods, they will definitely be targeted.

The second is convenience. After all, if you go directly to the black market to buy bulk goods, although the price will be a little higher, you can only buy in small quantities, otherwise it will affect the market price. This method is only suitable for small operations.

If you cooperate directly with the black market boss, you just need to negotiate the price in advance, agree on the delivery time and place, and then just deliver it when the time comes. It's so convenient.

Finally, it is stability. The output in Zhou Jin's space will only get bigger and bigger. It cannot be dispersed by just a few robots. Once cooperation is reached with the black market, it will be a long-term, stable and large expenditure.

This is why Zhou Jin chose these skills for several robots. Long Yi’s negotiation skills are for the purpose of obtaining the highest benefits from the black market through negotiation.

The business capabilities of Long Er and Long San are mainly to control the supply of materials to the black market in real time, accurately judge the supply and demand relationship in the market, and thus make the most profitable supply plan.

As for Long Si and Long Wu's identification ability, it is very simple. After all, Zhou Jin wants to exchange grain for gold, antiques, cultural relics, high-end cigarettes and alcohol. If there is no one who can identify the authenticity, then he will be a sucker.

So after Long Yi had negotiated the black market, Long Er and Long Si formed a group, and Long San and Long Wu formed a group, each responsible for a black market, while Long Yi was responsible for supporting them at any time.

Although all five of them have grandmaster-level fighting skills, Zhou Jin will still give them permanent access to the armory. After all, no matter how skilled a person is in martial arts, they are still afraid of kitchen knives, let alone hot weapons. So they should be prepared for any eventuality.

At about twelve o'clock, Zhou Jin arrived at his grandfather's house. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Zhou Xin acting coquettishly in Grandma Yang's arms, not knowing what she wanted.

As soon as Zhou Xin saw Zhou Jin coming, she hurriedly got down from Grandma Yang's arms, ran to Zhou Jin, and opened her arms for a hug.

Zhou Jin had no choice but to pamper his sister. He quickly parked the bicycle, picked up Zhou Xin, and then followed the routine procedure, lifting her up high and putting her on the plane.

The little girl was laughing non-stop for joy. The two old people were also very pleased to see such a beautiful scene. They probably felt that they were so lucky.

After playing with Zhou Xin for a while, Zhou Jin put her down, chatted with the two old people for a while, took down the bag hanging on the bicycle, and went straight to the kitchen.

Because the weather is hot now, food cannot be kept well, and Zhou Xin is basically at the old couple's place during the day, so Zhou Jin also comes over to cook every day.

After a while, I heard the sound of "ping pong" coming from the kitchen, followed by a burst of fragrance.

Although the three of them had been eating Zhou Jin's meals for quite a while, they still couldn't help swallowing their saliva every time they smelled the fragrance.

Grandma Yang also returned to the restaurant to clear the table, went to the kitchen to take out the dishes and set them aside, and waited for dinner.

Because of the food crisis, Zhou Jin did not dare to cook meat openly. After all, the smell could not be hidden. He could only cook cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers, and eggs. The only thing he could do was to add more oil.

As for the meat, Zhou Jin would just braise it in the space and then take it out and serve it cold, so that there would be basically no smell.

As for why they didn't prepare it in the space and take it out directly, it must be because it was inexplicable. If a plate of meat appeared out of nowhere, everyone would probably think it was a ghost.

So this is how it is in this era. There is nothing we can do but try to be careful and not attract other people’s attention.

Today's dishes are mashed potatoes, egg custard, cold beef, cold cucumber and cabbage and tofu soup. This summer is too hot and no one has much appetite. Of course, this is for people like Grandpa Jin and Grandma Yang who don't have to work.

So Zhou Jin mainly makes some cold dishes, which are appetizing and can encourage people to eat more.

As Zhou Jin brought dishes to the table one by one, everyone found a seat and started to eat. Although the ingredients were not good, Zhou Jin's cooking skills were there, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

Especially the little girl Zhou Xin. Zhou Jin has been feeding her with good food and drink for the past six months. She has been fed with milk powder and malted milk all the time, and meat snacks are also fed to her every now and then. She is almost becoming a little fat boy, but she is so adorable with her milky voice.

Under Zhou Jin's care, grandparents' health is getting better and better. The old age diseases that were previously diagnosed were also slowly cured under Zhou Jin's herbal medicine and therapy.

With their current physical and mental conditions, as long as nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely have no problem living to be 100 years old.

After all, for old people of their age, especially lonely elderly people like Grandpa Jin, their biggest worry, apart from food and accommodation, is retirement.

Now that Zhou Jin has solved these problems, his mood naturally improves. And with the little cutie Zhou Xin around, they are all smiling all day long.

If you are in a good mood, everything will go smoothly.

It was already past one o'clock when everyone finished their meal. After Zhou Jin cleaned up the kitchen, he chatted with Grandpa and the others for a while, and then took Zhou Xin back to the courtyard.

On the way, Zhou Jin passed by a supply and marketing cooperative and took Zhou Xin to buy three pieces of clothing. They also wanted to buy milk powder, malted milk and milk candy, but they found that they were all out of stock. The salespeople were all chatting in groups of three or four.
