Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

"Okay, I won't say too much. From now on, just call me Section Chief when you are at work, and call me Brother after work."

"Okay, Chief Qi, I'll call you Brother Qi after work."

Zhang Jialiang knew what Section Chief Qi meant. Since they were both from Li Huaide's faction, the two of them should of course be more friendly with each other. Zhang Jialiang had no objection to this as it was all a matter of face.

"Liangzi, I heard from Director Li that you are very wild and can find a lot of prey in the wild.

Our department has been criticized by many leaders recently, and I am under a lot of pressure. You will have to work harder in the future."

"Okay, Chief Qi, I will do my best, but my personal strength is still small. I can only find some prey, and the quantity will not be too large.

The situation is not good this year. Most of the animals we can get are small animals. There are only a few large animals a year. We can only rely on luck. "

“Okay, just do your best.

Don’t be fooled by how easy our purchasing department seems to be in the eyes of outsiders. In fact, only we ourselves know how hard it is.

Although we don't have to do physical work, going out to purchase goods is still laborious and if we go to the countryside, we will consume a lot of physical energy.

The key is that good things are hard to find. You also know the mission of our department, which is to get some high-value and rare things, which are not easy to get!

But no matter what, we must exert our subjective initiative and actively complete the tasks assigned by the leadership. Now our main task is to make all kinds of meat. You are good at this, so you must win face for me!"

"Okay, I promise to complete the task!"

Looking at Zhang Jialiang's attitude, Qi Zhiyong was quite satisfied. Although he was introduced by Director Li himself, Zhang Jialiang was still quite respectful to him. He was not like the young man who acted arrogantly because he thought he had connections with the higher-ups.

"Liangzi, do you have a bicycle?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

“That’s good, otherwise I would be in a real pickle. The number of bicycles allocated to purchasers by our three departments is insufficient. Since you have your own bicycle, it will be easy and convenient for you to carry out your work.

You ride your own bike, and you will receive a three-yuan transportation allowance every month.”

"Okay, Chief Qi, I understand.

I wonder how our department arranges its working hours? "

"The working hours of our three-department purchasers are relatively free and flexible. We hold a morning meeting every Monday morning to assign tasks, and a meeting on Saturday to report on the completion of tasks. It is relatively simple. As long as the tasks are completed, the working hours can be arranged by themselves."

After hearing Chief Qi's job introduction, Zhang Jialiang was quite happy. The work hours of a purchasing agent were indeed relatively flexible, with only two meetings a week.

As long as he completes the tasks assigned by the factory, he can arrange most of his time by himself, which very much meets Zhang Jialiang's requirements. It seems that even though he has started working, he will not have many constraints in the future, which is very good.

Since today is neither Monday nor Saturday, which is not a meeting time, after Section Chief Qi introduced the work situation to him, Zhang Jialiang was left to arrange the rest of the time on his own.

The basic task of each buyer in the third purchasing department is to purchase supplies worth 60 yuan per month, mainly various types of meat.

It sounds like there aren't many tasks, but there are indeed a lot of tricks involved, and these tasks are not so easy to complete. After Chief Qi's introduction, Zhang Jialiang now knows how the purchasing staff of their Procurement Section 3 work.

The steel rolling mill does not care about the working hours of their purchasing department's third purchasing staff, nor does it have any requirements for their work location. It doesn't matter what method is used, as long as the required materials can be purchased.

But these materials are not so easy to purchase, and the materials purchased by the three departments are all unplanned materials.

Take meat for example. The normal procurement of meat that comes out of the slaughterhouse through formal channels can be handled by the section chief, and there is no need for their purchasing staff at all.

Their buyers' target is the unplanned meat, but this kind of thing is difficult to get and it is impossible to get it without certain connections.

At the same time, the price at which buyers purchase materials will also be restricted. After all, they are still employees of the steel mill and purchase materials on behalf of the steel mill.

Their purchasing prices cannot be much higher than the prices of materials planned by the supply and marketing system. Otherwise, if so many factories and buyers in the capital raised prices arbitrarily, the prices of various meats would have been disrupted long ago. This is not allowed by the government, and companies dare not do so.

For example, the current price of pork is 8 cents per pound, and without a ticket it is 1 yuan per pound. If you purchase it with money, you have to follow this price. However, there are so many people who want to buy it at such a price, so why would others sell it to you?

Every policy has its own countermeasure. Since the price cannot be too high, we can use other means, such as providing other equally valuable bills for exchange, such as cotton bills, cigarette bills, wine bills and other bills.

Precisely because of their rarity, there won’t be too many of these bills. Plus, since they are almost equal exchanges, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye to such operations in the factories.

It is precisely because of this kind of operation that they have the Third Purchasing Department. Otherwise, if everything goes according to plan, there would be no need for the steel rolling mill to set up the Third Purchasing Department.

So on the surface, each buyer's monthly task is 60 yuan worth of supplies, but these are all exchanged for rare bills, and the actual price is at least 100 yuan, or even higher. Especially in difficult times like now, meat is even harder to get, so the workload is really not small.

However, these are not a problem for Zhang Jialiang. He can now directly hand over a portion of the various prey he originally traded on the black market to the steel mill.

It’s just that what we exchanged before was money, but now a large part of what we exchanged is various rare bills.

However, these bills can also be exchanged for money, and there are benefits. For example, many rare bills that Zhang Jialiang himself or his family need no longer need to be exchanged on the black market, which saves money and is convenient.

Therefore, working in a steel rolling mill has many benefits for Zhang Jialiang. It is equivalent to having an additional risk-free and stable trading channel, and he can also get a salary, which is very cost-effective.

Now Zhang Jialiang has received various labor protection items distributed to workers by the steel rolling mill, including two sets of summer work clothes, two sets of winter work clothes, two pairs of single-layer rubber shoes, two pairs of winter cotton-rubber shoes, a towel, a bar of soap, three pairs of white-line gloves, and so on.

Holding a pile of items, Zhang Jialiang felt that it was indeed a big factory. He had just joined the factory and had not done anything yet, but so many things were distributed to him. If he bought these things outside, he would have to spend dozens of dollars.

This is just a temporary worker. Regular workers will receive more items. It seems that working in a steel rolling mill is still a good choice, not to mention the benefits during the Chinese New Year and other holidays in the future.
