Chapter 96: Base Camp

"This purchaser is one of the eight major personnel. During the first two years when food was in short supply, many lives were lost. Carrying a gun with you can always ensure your personal safety at critical moments."

Wang Gensheng nodded vigorously after hearing this. It turned out that purchasers could legally obtain guns through this channel in this era.

As long as he is not being targeted by someone, his personal safety is fine, and Wang Gensheng doesn’t care much about it.

His purchase of food and supplies was just a small amateur effort, and it was considered as an explanation to the street office.

Wang Gensheng himself didn't know that what he did was really no small matter.

With the guidance of Chief Wu of the Security Department, Wang Gensheng went to see Chief Liu of the Purchasing Department in the afternoon. It would be easier to get things done if he had an acquaintance, so he asked him to help approve a gun permit.

I took a note to the security department and received a pistol and a magazine.

This made Wang Gensheng very happy, even though he already had the gun and bullets.

But there are clear rules: Every day, you have to report the number of guns and bullets you have, and if you use them properly, where you use them, and why you use them. You have to make a written report!

Now, Wang Gensheng has become Xu's disciple. He goes there on Saturdays and Sundays to learn calligraphy and Chinese painting. He doesn't have time to go back to his hometown in the countryside to accompany his parents.

Wang Gensheng wanted to take advantage of the job opportunity to return to his hometown and turn his hometown into his own purchasing base and use it as his future grain purchasing point.

When he got home, Wang Gensheng told Lao Wang about this.

After hearing this, my father hesitated for a moment and murmured:

"You've made great progress. You didn't stay in the Propaganda Department, but were transferred to the Procurement Department. This is a big leap."

"I can't help it. It's all because of my boss's care. He wants to train me more and let me take this opportunity to practice more."

Finally, my father smoked a bag of dry tobacco, thought for a while, and decided to rely on the old reputation of the militia leader and visit the production team leader and the village chief.

This face is still useful. The old village chief made a decision that in the future, all grain and other things sold in the village would be shipped from Wang Gensheng first.

Of course, as a child from Wangjia Village, Wang Gensheng must give the greatest support in terms of price.

The two sides reached a tacit understanding!

When the village chief heard that Wang Gensheng was a buyer for the Red Star Steel Mill, his face immediately blossomed like a flower.

He walked over with a smile and patted Wang Gensheng's shoulder with trembling hands.

"The Wang family boy is really promising. It just so happens that the village chief has something he wants you to do for him."

This made Wang Gensheng completely confused. Why was he asked to help the village before he even received the grain?

But now that things have come to this, Wang Gensheng has no choice but to accept it.

With a forced smile on his face, he asked in an uncertain tone, "Grandpa Village Chief, if you have anything to say, I can only pass it on for you. I really can't make the decision on the business of the steel mill."

The village chief was a reasonable man, and said with a smile:

"I know you're a kid, but I won't let you make the decision. Just talk to the leaders of your factory."

It was just a rumor. Wang Gensheng breathed a sigh of relief. This was easy to handle.

The task given by the village chief is actually very simple.

Because of the nationwide steel-making campaign in the previous two years, the pots of every household in the village were smashed, and even the bolts and door handles on the doors were pried off to make steel.

Even the production team’s tools and farm implements did not escape this fate, and now the production team’s farm tools are in great shortage!

The village wanted to exchange food supplies and the two big fat pigs raised by the production team for a batch of steel farm tools from the steel rolling mill.

In theory, Wang Gensheng has no say in this kind of business.

However, it seems that the steel rolling mill has some stock of this kind of agricultural tools in the production workshop warehouse. I just need to bring this news to Chief Liu, the purchasing officer.

Let him report this to his superiors, and it should be done.

The only issue that needs to be discussed is the price.

"The first batch from the village can produce 800 kilograms of corn flour and a large fat pig weighing nearly 300 kilograms. As for how many farm tools can be exchanged, Wang Gensheng needs to discuss it with the steel mill."

Of course, as a fellow villager, Wang Gensheng still needs to show the greatest sincerity to the steel rolling mill in order to have long-term cooperation in the future.

Originally, this would have exceeded the monthly grain trading target.

However, Wang Gensheng was not happy.

Because he was not a full-time buyer for the steel mill, what he needed to do was to buy grain for the street office, not for the steel mill.

However, it is impossible for the street office to solve the problem of agricultural tools for the village.

So Wang Gensheng secretly discussed it with the team leader again.

"Can you take out 200 kilograms of corn flour and trade it with banknotes? I can take it back to the street office for the task."

After the two discussed the situation, they decided on the deal.

When Wang Gensheng rode his bicycle back to the steel rolling mill in the afternoon, he went to report the matter to Chief Liu of the Purchasing Department.

The excited Section Chief Liu praised Wang Gensheng again and again:

"Oh, Gensheng, you are really a lucky guy for our purchasing department! As soon as you showed up, you got two fat pigs from our purchasing department. Haha, those are two big fat pigs!"

Wang Gensheng also laughed along.

"This time we got two fat pigs and 2 kilograms of corn flour. But the most important thing is that the village collective asked us to pay with farm tools from the steel mill, and they didn't want any receipts."

After listening to this, Section Chief Liu nodded vigorously.

He took two sips of the water cup, then put it down heavily and said:

"Okay, Gensheng, you don't have to worry about this matter. I'll risk my reputation and ask the production director for help."

"We haven't seen pork in our factory for two months. I think if we spread the news of these two big fat pigs, the workers will be more enthusiastic about their work and will work overtime to produce more farm tools."

Section Chief Liu and Wang Gensheng negotiated the number of farm tools and finally reached a consensus.

Under the leadership of Section Chief Liu, we found the director of the production department and arranged production tasks.

The production director is in charge of production, but he does not have the authority to issue production targets.

He can arrange the work tasks and make a production plan. The next step is to report the production indicators.

After getting Director Yang's signature, the order for the production of agricultural tools can be completed.

Unexpectedly, this pork purchasing work could be reported to Director Yang.

Wang Gensheng was helpless and could only hope for a good result.

Who would have thought that pork, which can be easily bought in the modern world, would have to go through so many twists and turns in this era!
