I messed up the Siheyuan

"Don't mention it. We thought it was simple before."

"You think it's simple?" Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Isn't it just exchanging coarse grains for meat and eggs?

The factory has allocated us coarse grains, and we can take them to the countryside and exchange them for meat and eggs. What's so difficult about that?"

"Tsk!..." Li Guangwen curled his lips, "If everyone does things like you, Changhe, our factory will be in chaos."

"Uh!..." Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he dared not say anything.

"Hey!..." Li Guangwen sighed helplessly, and then said: "We, the Purchasing Department 3, used to receive the purchase money from the factory and then go to the countryside to purchase various materials.

Now we suddenly need to exchange the purchase money for food, how can the factory enter this account? How can we use food to exchange for meat and eggs...

Is it okay if these things are not settled?

I spent most of the day doing these things."

"Then..." Zhao Changhe hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What did the factory decide in the end?"

“Before, every time before you went to the countryside, you had to go to the Finance Department to advance 30 yuan for purchases.

It’s still like this now…” Li Guangwen said: “However, the amount of money has become less, only ten yuan.

After receiving the money, you still have to go to the Gastroenterology Section (Canteen Management Section) of the Logistics Department.

I used the ten yuan I received to exchange for fifty kilograms of millet or cornmeal.

Then, you can take these grains and go to the countryside to exchange for things.”

"Wow!...The price set by the factory is not low!" Xiao Yougui on the side sighed: "According to the price set by the factory, a pound of coarse grains is 20 cents.

The market price is more than double that of normal years.”

"These are the factory's own money and food. Why do you care how much they set? They are just wandering around the factory anyway."

At this point, Li Guangwen said in a slightly serious tone: "I have already made an agreement with you. The ten yuan will be passed through your hands once.

Every time after receiving the money, he would quickly exchange it for food for me.

Don't mess around with this, make something happen for me."

As soon as Li Guangwen finished speaking, everyone responded immediately.

"Chief, don't worry! We are all experienced purchasers, how can we not understand such a small matter?"

"Yes! Chief, don't worry!"

"Chief, please put your mind at ease!"

.....

Seeing several people making guarantees, Li Guangwen nodded with satisfaction.

After a while, he took a break, patted his butt, and stood up from the chair.

"That's all! You can go to the Finance Department tomorrow to get money in exchange for food.

Oh! ...By the way...the factory has also set the exchange rate for your coarse grains in exchange for meat and eggs."

As he spoke, he showed a relaxed smile on his face, "Don't worry, the price offered by the factory is quite generous.

Eggs are: one egg can be exchanged for half a pound of coarse grains.

As for meat, whether it is bacon or other game, the price is always 'one pound of meat for ten pounds of coarse grains'."

After saying these words, Li Guangwen was a little confused.

Instead of the enthusiastic response he expected, he got...

The five people surrounding him all looked miserable after hearing what he said.

"This..., what's wrong with you? Is the price set by the factory not good enough?"

Zhao Changhe smiled bitterly and explained, "Section Chief, in the countryside around the old city, the cheapest exchange right now is one egg for one pound of coarse grain.

However, it will be difficult to exchange it at this price!

The general exchange method is to exchange one egg for one pound and three or four ounces of coarse grains.

There are also higher prices, with one egg exchanging for 1.5, 1.6, 1.5, 1.7, 1.8, or even 1.1.

The most expensive thing is one egg for two kilograms of coarse grains.

As for meat, I haven’t come across it yet, so I don’t know what the price is.

However, it shouldn’t be cheap.

I think that exchanging ten kilograms of whole grain for one kilogram of meat is a bit too much.”

"Damn it..." Li Guangwen was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Is this too low?

Then..., let's make some extra money!

One egg can be exchanged for two kilograms of whole grains, and one kilogram of meat can be exchanged for fifteen kilograms of whole grains...Ah! ...No...let's set it at twenty kilograms!

Look, what do you think? "

Several buyers looked at each other and nodded.

"That's fine. I'll report it according to the standard of 'one egg for two kilograms of coarse grains, one kilogram of meat for twenty kilograms of coarse grains'." Li Guangwen walked out. "Damn it, this is a hassle. I have to run it again..."

But before he could take a few steps, he dodged and came back.

He was standing at the door with his eyes wide open, looking at everyone seriously, "Hey guys...what's going on...?"

Although his words were unclear, except for Wang Ping, everyone else in the room was an experienced purchaser.

They understood what he meant immediately.

Zhao Changhe spoke first: "Section Chief, we are not new to this, we all understand..., it must be right..."

Others also responded.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ... Don't worry! ... How could we make such a mistake?"

"Yeah yeah!..."

......

Li Guangwen nodded with satisfaction, dodged and ran out again.

From the corridor, there came the sound of "Dang! Dang! Dang!..." as his fat body rolled past.

Everyone in the room began to disperse and returned to their seats.

However, after walking a few steps, Zhao Changhe turned around and pulled Wang Ping out of the office.

In a corner of the corridor, he whispered to Wang Ping: "Xiao Zhao, do you know what our section chief said when he came back just now?"

Although Wang Ping had some guesses in his mind, he shook his head in order to hide his ignorance.

"That's fine! Today, I'll break this matter down and explain it to you..." As he spoke, he lowered his voice unconsciously, "Take eggs for example, the factory stipulates that we can exchange one egg for two kilograms of coarse grains.

But we can't do it this way.

This standard is too high.

If we follow this approach, everyone will know that we are making a profit from the price difference.

Over time, something bad is bound to happen.

We... have to do this...

for example!

If one egg can be exchanged for one pound and three ounces of coarse grain, when we report it to the factory, the maximum amount cannot exceed one and a half pounds.

Do you get me? "

"It is indeed so!" Wang Ping thought.

Coming from the 21st century, he is very familiar with these things.

Isn't this just the middleman taking the difference?

However, in order to hide his incompetence, he still replied blankly: "Uh! ..., Brother Zhao, what you mean is that if we report less, no one will find out."

"That's right!" Zhao Changhe nodded. "If you only report one or two more each time... hehe... even if a god comes, he won't be able to find out..."

"Brother Zhao, then..." Wang Ping said with a chuckle, "I understand. From now on, I will just...report an extra pound..."

Zhao Changhe paused for a moment. He smiled awkwardly, "Okay! It's okay to report less. At least it's safe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guangwen's fat figure appeared again at the door of the corridor in the distance.

When he saw the two people from a distance, he immediately shouted, ""

"I'm so unlucky! This day... is killing me...

Xiao Wang, it's great that you are here.

The matter of your house has been settled.

You should go home quickly, get the documents, and go to the Real Estate Department, and try to get it done today.

If you do it tomorrow, it will delay your trip to the countryside."
