The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

After Tong Xiao finished speaking, he seemed to be hesitant to talk.

Liu Minghui saw it and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you being so shy?"

Tong Xiao is usually carefree, and Liu Minghui was a little confused when he suddenly showed such an attitude.

"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that the villages that some of our buyers are in charge of are a bit unreasonable."

"Some buyers have larger territories, so it's easier for them to complete their tasks. Some buyers only have one or two villages to purchase from, which is a bit unfair to them."

Tong Xiao told what he knew.

Liu Minghui also knew about this situation, but the problem was that he couldn't do anything about it. These were channels that others had found, and it was impossible for them to hand over the channels with just one word from Liu Minghui.

"I don't have any good solution. I can just ask those people to run away. If they can bring a large amount of supplies, I can help drive a large truck to bring them back, so that it can also be counted as their purchase."

Liu Minghui had never been to many villages before, and basically relied on his own space. This was all he could do according to what Tong Xiao said.

Just let the buyers go farther away. In fact, the villages near Sijiu City also need competition. Many factories have purchasing departments. If so many buyers go to the countryside to purchase, no one will be able to buy anything.

So it would be better to just let them run away.

"Okay then, I'll talk to them."

When Tong Xiao saw that the matter was settled, he picked up his things and left.

Liu Minghui didn't have much to do in the office. Usually he just had to sign orders for them.

It was almost ten o'clock when the steel mill's radio sounded.

"Zizizizi, good morning to all the workers in the steel rolling mill. I have an announcement for you now."

"After the decision of the factory committee and the approval of the higher authorities, the current purchasing section of the steel rolling mill will be changed to the purchasing department, and the director of the purchasing department will be Li Weiguo, the former head of the first purchasing section."

"Zhang Zhi, the current head of the Second Procurement Section, will be transferred to the position of head of the First Procurement Section."

"Comrade Liu Minghui from the Second Purchasing Section has been promoted to Deputy Section Chief of the Second Purchasing Section by the Factory Committee, with full authority to manage the Second Purchasing Section."

"Please be informed that the relevant documents will be posted on the notice board."

The broadcast was repeated three times in a row, which caused many workers to talk about it.

However, compared with the workers who did not know Liu Minghui, those who worked in the steel rolling mill in Siheyuan were shocked.

"This Liu Minghui was promoted to deputy section chief, can it be fake?"

Sha Zhu, who was working in the kitchen, thought the announcer must have said something wrong.

"Master He, you heard it right, it's Liu Minghui from the Purchasing Department."

The aunt next to him heard Shazhu's mumbling and said.

An older lady nearby also came over.

"I heard that Liu Minghui is a capable man. He can buy two big fat pigs every month. If he doesn't get promoted, who else can?"

The workshop workers may not know Liu Minghui, but their kitchen deals with purchasing every day, so everyone knows Liu Minghui's abilities.

In the workshop, Liu Haizhong was hitting a steel billet with a big hammer when he suddenly heard the broadcast. He immediately put down his work and listened carefully.

In the end, he was shocked to hear that Liu Minghui was appointed as deputy section chief. You know, he had worked hard all his life but couldn't even become a team leader.

Liu Minghui became a deputy section chief when he was only in his twenties. This made Liu Hai feel extremely unbalanced. He felt that the leaders of the steel rolling mill were blind and could not see his talent.

In the fitter workshop, Yi Zhonghai, who was teaching Jia Dongxu, heard the broadcast and began to think carefully.

He didn't know whether having a new leader in the courtyard would have any impact on him.

"Master, look at this kid who has become a leader. The factory leader is really blind.

Jia Dongxu who was standing next to him also heard it and said with a jealous look on his face.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Dongxu's expression, he knew what he was thinking.

He said calmly: "Liu Minghui is capable, and there is nothing wrong with having a leader in our courtyard."

But Jia Dongxu wouldn't listen.

You have to know that Jia Dongxu is not much older than Liu Minghui, but Jia Dongxu is only a first-level fitter now, while Liu Minghui has become a cadre. How can he not be jealous?

Without mentioning the reactions of the people in the courtyard, Liu Minghui packed up and went to Li Weiguo's office next door, intending to have a talk with his immediate superior.

Although Li Weiguo was promoted to director, his office was not moved far away. He just cleaned up an office upstairs.

When Liu Minghui came upstairs, he saw Zhang Zhiqiang waiting at the door.

"I knew you would come. Let's go in together."

It turned out that Zhang Zhiqiang was waiting for Liu Minghui. He knew that Liu Minghui would definitely come to Li Weiguo after hearing the broadcast, so he waited outside for a while.

The two entered Li Weiguo's office. It must be said that Li Weiguo's office was much better than Liu Minghui's.

At least the configuration is better. When I came in, I saw Li Weiguo sitting at the desk.

He wasn't surprised to see the two people come in, he was just waiting for them.

"Come, come over here and sit down and talk."

Li Weiguo led the two of them to sit on the sofa.

He picked up the kettle and poured water for the two of them before continuing, "I've been waiting for you for a while, so just tell me what you want to say now."

Li Weiguo is very direct. He is a retired soldier who has changed his job and still retains his vigorous and decisive style.

Zhang Zhiqiang spoke first. He was mainly here to hand over the work of Purchasing Section 1 to Li Weiguo. The two of them were talking while Liu Minghui sat there listening.

After the two finished their conversation, Li Weiguo looked at Liu Minghui.

"What about you? What's up?"

"I want to ask about the mission objectives of Section 2 this year."

This year, the Purchasing Department’s task target has increased by nearly half compared to last year. Now each buyer needs to purchase nearly one hundred yuan worth of materials every month.

Liu Minghui just saw this this morning, so he needed to come over to ask for clarification.

Li Weiguo nodded.

“You’ve also seen the slogans posted outside.”

Liu Minghui and the other person nodded. When they came to work today, the steel rolling mill had indeed added many new slogans, all of which were aimed at promoting production.

"This year, our steel mill's task target has almost doubled. I heard that the factory leaders are planning to recruit a group of workers."

Liu Minghui and Zhang Zhiqiang looked at each other. Neither of them expected that the number would increase so much.

"So with more workers, the food problem is not easy to solve. Otherwise, how could our purchasing department be upgraded?"

"So now you just need to find a way to complete the task. The procurement department can add a few more people this year."

"Just wait until we start recruiting workers in a while."

Li Weiguo explained the details to them.
