Era: Start as a buyer

He didn’t introduce much about the team leader Liu Yong himself. But as a team leader, even if he doesn't have some connections of his own, he is still responsible for some things. For example, the number of employees in each factory is limited to a certain number in meat factories, poultry factories and some units. This quota has a certain range up and down. It doesn't matter if you can, but you can curry favor with the people in charge of those factories and increase the quota appropriately for the machinery factory, you can be considered capable.

Anyway, the purpose of the entire purchasing department is that you can purchase quantities beyond the quota. Some small factories only have a few dozen people in total, and those without a purchasing department can still live in the same way.

The material purchasing team had taken the initiative to introduce them, and then if Luo Cheng knew the rules, he would introduce his abilities.

Luo Cheng could only honestly say that he had connections in the town where he lived and could get some prey and fish.

Luo Cheng didn't deliberately whisper when he spoke. There were about ten people in the Purchasing Department, and no one was avoided. But as soon as the words were said, it was obvious that people in other groups had heard them.

These days, everything is in short supply, but food is the most important thing for people, so the most important thing that is in short supply is food. Luo Cheng dared to say that he could get mountain goods, prey in the mountains, and fish.

Anyone who says this is either very capable or just out of his mind. First of all, their purchasing department is a purchasing department within a machinery factory, not a local unit purchasing station or the like. Other purchasing stations have natural purchasing advantages over factories and companies.

For example, in a township, the township leaders belong to the local office staff, and the local purchasing station also belongs to the local office staff, so the purchasing station can directly negotiate with the local leaders. The machinery factory is a factory and an enterprise. Even if you have a high level, people can ignore you.

If you don't cooperate with local units to purchase, you can only collect them door-to-door. But rural people are not stupid. They don’t give tickets and the prices are higher. Unless they are in urgent need of money, they basically don’t sell them.

A very simple example, a pound of meat costs more than 60 cents. If you don’t have a ticket, you can spend a dollar to buy what others have. But if people have money and want to buy meat, they have to spend 1.2 or even 1.5 on the black market. People will sell you, so why not just go to the black market and sell it?

If you want to say that selling things on the black market is illegal, you can't always use the black market as an excuse. But if you leave aside the black market, then this matter cannot be discussed.

Liu Yong is someone who has been here before, so he almost didn’t ask Luo Cheng directly, even if the people from your hometown went to the mountains to hunt down a bunch of prey. You have to consider the current situation. First, whether other hunters are willing to sell you cheaply. Your favor is worth having someone sell you at a loss. Secondly, the people in their purchasing group all knew about the establishment of communes in the towns below, so if they caught prey, it might not be the hunters but the managers of the commune who had the final say.

And there is another point. People who are doing procurement now know that collective public canteens are being set up in the villages and towns below. This is another blow to some people who purchase goods in the villages and towns.

In the past, rural farmers still raised chickens and ducks, and some capable people also raised pigs. When a buyer goes to the countryside, he is diligent and well-spoken. It is not difficult to buy some eggs, chickens and ducks. It is just a question of how much. Now there is no need to think about it. In the countryside, individuals don’t even have a pot. Some people raise chickens and ducks to improve their lives. But if you eat in a collective canteen, you don’t have a pot during the New Year and holidays, and there is no place to cook chickens and ducks.

Anyway, everyone has the same food. If the towns and villages are not organized, what is everyone doing?

Luo Cheng said he would go to towns and villages to collect things. If Director Sun hadn't brought him to the Purchasing Department two days ago, everyone would have thought he was a bit reckless. But now~~could it be that he has a special relationship? If he really wants to get something, he is in the same department and cannot take care of him.

No one deliberately said anything sarcastic. After all, those who can work in the procurement department are all capable people. You go and make fun of people, just in case they can really get it.

But the current situation is that many buyers in factories and enterprises are applying to be transferred from their posts.

In the eyes of outsiders, buyers are very glamorous, but only internally do you know that it is all superficial glamour. Nowadays, it is popular to say that the eight members of the inner and outer circles are the conductor, salesperson, driver, postman, nursery worker, waiter, hairdresser and cook.

The eight internal staff refer to the planners, statisticians, budget staff, quota staff, labor and wage staff, cultural learners, technical safety staff and welfare staff within the factory.

This daily welfare worker refers to the daily material purchaser, and the purchaser is also called a purchaser.

They all envy the welfare workers, who can get welfare supplies, and can even get some for their own homes. And when I don’t ‘work’, I either sit in the office or go out for a walk.

You can even apply for food and drink funds. As long as you can get supplies and treat anyone to dinner, you can reimburse them with invoices. If there is no invoice, we can replenish it in the form of bonus.

Now the entire purchasing department is basically just chatting. The weather is hot in summer, and I don’t want to run outside. Moreover, it is still the beginning of the month, so the task is not urgent.

Of course, as a newcomer, Luo Cheng couldn't just chat when he arrived. Team leader Liu gave Luo Cheng several forms and information and asked him to write them down. There were no printed ones in the factory. If he couldn't remember them, just write them down on white paper. These are the market prices of various items. Some items may not be specifically marked, but they are generally available.

Rice looks old, new rice costs about 16 cents, and old rice is a cent or two cheaper. Hairtail costs 30 cents per pound. This is basically a reference. It is sold in the market, but the place of origin is not here, and the city here is not close to the sea. Green vegetables cost two cents, Chinese cabbage costs one cent. Meat is about 65 cents, whole grain stick noodles are 5 cents~~ and so on.

There is a lot of food alone, and some information sheets are for other supplies, such as coal, matches, soap, cloth, etc. And these things can all be charged at an appropriate price, and the proportions are marked, and they cannot exceed the proportions marked later. Because if you exceed it, you will be easily reported.

Another point is that rice cannot be harvested. It is a staple food and can only be purchased and harvested by the local government plus the public grain paid by the local government. Harvesting grain is courting death.

There is no specific price for pheasants, rabbits and the like in the mountains. But as long as it doesn’t exceed the price of pork, it’s basically no problem. The other thing is fish, which is divided into small and large fish. Small fish should be collected at about 40% of the meat, and large fish should be collected at 60 to 70%.

It's just that Luo Cheng saw that the ratio could be increased. To be honest, if he didn't have time and space in the future, he would definitely not be able to be a buyer. For example, eggs can be increased by 20%, but an egg originally sells for about five cents, so you only add one cent.

A penny is indeed valued in rural areas, but unless you need to change money to buy daily necessities. Otherwise, not many people would be willing to sell them, and most of them would save some eggs to exchange for food. You can exchange grains for almost the same price, but you don't have to pay for food stamps.

This price list can only be a reference for Luo Cheng. In the future, he will get some things from the future time and space and sell them directly to the machinery factory in the name of purchasing. If you really ask him to collect things at this price, come on, Ergouzi's sack may trap him.
