Siheyuan: Reborn in 59 years of famine, with a wife and daughter

Hou Ping looked at Gao Guoshi curiously and said, "Minister Gao, if Zhao Shengli becomes the leader of the second purchasing group, who will take over the position of the previous director of the materials department? And who are the members of the second logistics purchasing group? You don't want to take part of our first purchasing group, right? Minister Gao, we don't have many people in the first group."

Gao Guoshi took one look at Hou Ping and knew what he was thinking. He knew that he was worried that the second group would take people from them. Those buyers were all trained by Hou Ping, and he didn't want to let Zhao Shengli get away with it.

Gao Guoshi said: "Don't worry, the second group will not snatch people from you. The members of the second group are all brought by Zhao Shengli from the Materials Department. As for who will replace Zhao Shengli, you don't have to worry about it, and it's not your business to worry about.

After all, the work in the Materials Department is relatively easy now, and the more people there are, the more idle they will be. The most important thing now is to solve the logistics and procurement problems so that the more than 30,000 employees in the factory can have enough food. This is the top priority.

Employees are the foundation of our factory. If they don’t have enough food to eat and can’t do their job well, how can our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill develop and produce in the future?”

"Yeah, that's true." Hou Ping nodded in agreement. As long as they were not trying to poach him, everything would be fine.

Moreover, if Zhao Shengli wants to compete with him for the position of deputy minister, it’s impossible. The people brought in by the Materials Department are in charge of logistics procurement. Can they be as capable as the procurement specialists he brought in?

The buyers under him all have rich purchasing experience and a certain network of contacts. They are also familiar with all the precautions in purchasing.

It is simply a dream to think that the people Zhao Shengli brought in temporarily can compete with him. They are clearly sent to be his stepping stones.

Hou Ping felt proud in his heart.

Lin Qiye, who was standing by, noticed that the topic the two were talking about had shifted away from himself, to what group in the procurement department, what procurement competition they were organizing, and what position of deputy minister they were competing for.

It seemed like it had nothing to do with him at all.

Just when Lin Qiye was about to turn around and leave.

However, Gao Guoshi called him.

He smiled and said, "Young man, I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Lin Qiye smiled helplessly. His opinion of Minister Gao had changed a lot now, but it seemed that there was no point for him to stay.

"Minister Gao, I don't think this has anything to do with me, and you don't plan to cooperate with me..."

"Who said it's none of your business? Didn't I just say that their first purchasing team doesn't want you? Why don't you join the second purchasing team?"

"join in?"

When he heard this word, Hou Ping's eyes widened.

You have to know that joining and cooperating are two completely different concepts.

Joining means that Lin Qiye joins the purchasing team, and cooperation only allows Lin Qiye to sell the prey he hunts to the steel mill.

Hou Ping wondered if Minister Gao had used the wrong word.

This is definitely the wrong word. Since when did the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill become so casual in recruiting people?

Even Lin Qiye was a little shocked.

"Should I cooperate with the people in the second group, or should I join them?"

Lin Qiye asked again to confirm.

Gao Guoshi smiled and said, "You heard it right. You are asked to join the second purchasing team and become a member of their team. You will become a purchaser of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, but you will be a temporary purchaser, not a formal employee.

However, if you perform well within this year, rank among the top in purchasing, and complete the purchasing tasks every month, then I promise that after one year, I will transfer you to a full-time employee of the purchasing department."

Hou Ping was dumbfounded when he heard this. He had just been making things difficult for this guy, but now Minister Gao wanted to recruit him.

I quickly protested: "Minister Gao, this is inappropriate. This is not in line with our factory's regulations."

Gao Guoshi glared at Hou Ping and said in a scolding tone: "Hou Ping, we are in procurement work, which requires flexibility. Logistics procurement work is so difficult now. You can't complete the procurement task every month. More than 30,000 employees of the steel rolling mill are not getting enough food and are complaining. If you continue like this, I am afraid that more than 30,000 employees will go on strike to protest.

The top priority now is to solve the food problem for more than 30,000 employees. Under the current difficult conditions, we should recruit talents, purchase food and solve the food crisis.

Moreover, at the company meeting a few days ago, President Lou clearly pointed out that we need to recruit more employees in our purchasing department. I think this young comrade is good, so why not let him have a try? If he can really complete the purchasing task beautifully, it will prove that he is a purchasing talent. It will be reasonable to recruit him as a formal purchasing specialist. What do you think of President Lou's decision?"

Seeing Gao Guoshi's stern expression and hearing Gao Guoshi's words, Hou Ping instantly wilted.

Even though he was reluctant for Lin Qiye to join the purchasing department of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, he had to hold it in.

Seeing that Hou Ping did not dare to challenge him again, Gao Guoshi looked at Lin Qiye and said, "Young comrade, are you willing to join our purchasing department and become a temporary buyer?"

Lin Qiye felt a little confused, but joining the purchasing department was not a bad thing after all.

Lin Qiye said: "Minister Gao, I am willing to be a temporary buyer in the purchasing department, but I have a request."

"Tell me."

"If I become a buyer for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, can I not go to the factory to sign in? I just need to complete the purchasing tasks every month."

Hou Ping was unhappy when he heard this and said, "Lin Qiye, you are wishful thinking. Our factory buyers have two regular purchasing analysis meetings every week. If you say you can't come, then don't come. This Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is owned by your family..."

After hearing what Hou Ping said, Gao Guoshi glared at Hou Ping again and said, "Comrade Lin Qiye is not an official purchasing specialist of our factory. He is just a temporary purchaser and does not have to follow these rules."

Then, he looked at Lin Qiye and continued, "I can agree to your request. As long as you can complete the purchasing task, it doesn't matter even if you don't go to the factory for a whole month. But I have to say this in advance. If you fail to complete the purchasing task, the salary deduction will be twice that of others."

“Okay, I have no objection to this.” Lin Qiye thought to himself, he is a master of hunting, and he also has an amazing breeding and planting space, so why should he worry about not being able to complete this purchasing task?

His golden fingers were born for purchasing.

Hou Ping looked at Gao Guoshi in confusion. He didn't understand why Minister Gao admired Lin Qiye so much, because from beginning to end, Lin Qiye had never demonstrated any extraordinary abilities in front of Minister Gao.

In fact, to be fair, if the young man in front of him was not the person that Mr. Lou wanted to help, Gao Guoshi would not have done this.

Gao Guoshi is a wise man.

Helping Lin Qiye is equivalent to helping President Lou. President Lou will never forget his contribution today.
