In August, it has entered the annual flue-cured tobacco purchase season.

This year, the "flue-cured tobacco acquisition management system" introduced from a commercial software development company will be fully put into use. More than 100 flue-cured tobacco purchasing points in eight counties and one district in central Yunnan have begun to use computer system software to assist in the purchase of tobacco leaves.

Qi Jingtao was designated to be in charge of the county company's information construction business, and as a professional, he had to cooperate with the business departments responsible for the county company's flue-cured tobacco production and grasp the county company's information work.

Recently, I accompanied my colleagues from the flue-cured tobacco department to inspect various tobacco purchasing stations to collect first-hand information on the actual use of computer software, and to urge commercial software companies to improve the functions and quality of the software. These have become Qi Jingtao's main tasks. He's going to go down to the county again, and he's going to wander around the world.

The annual flue-cured tobacco buying season is a battle that lasts for months for county-level tobacco companies. There are many tobacco purchase sites distributed in the flue-cured tobacco planting area, and the county company has a limited staffing staffing, so it is generally assigned 1 to 3 regular employees to preside over the tobacco purchase work, and they lead the short-term contract staff recruited from the local village committees to carry out the procurement work.

These temporary staff recruited from the society include flue-cured tobacco inspectors with unified training and rich experience, full-time weighing personnel, independent bookkeeping personnel, warehouse handling and packaging personnel, accounting settlement and verification personnel, cash payment personnel dispatched by the local Agricultural Bank, and logistics security and transportation personnel. In all directions, small-scale tobacco purchasing stations need 50 or 60 people, and large-scale tobacco purchasing stations need more than 100 people to be ready to get up early and carry out tobacco sorting and inspection, purchase and warehousing, packaging and shipping work to meet the tobacco purchase task.

In the past, in the process of purchasing flue-cured tobacco, tobacco farmers lined up with their own flue-cured tobacco. Finally, after the grading and weighing, I have to take the weighing voucher and wait in line again for statistical settlement and cash payment. Waiting and waiting, tobacco farmers come to the tobacco station to sell a flue-cured tobacco, often have to delay for a day, and even take two or three days in the peak area, often causing complaints.

Qi Jingtao has sold tobacco leaves many times before, and he has personal experience and experience. The family finally completed the last process of flue-cured tobacco planting - flue-cured tobacco grading, and transported the tobacco leaves to the local tobacco purchasing station for sale. Waiting in long queues, constantly carrying and moving the burden of loading tobacco leaves; after grading and grading and weighing, they lined up again with a few thin pieces of paper written by hand; waited for the accountants with abacus on the tables to settle, register, and audit in a slow and orderly manner; and continued to queue up for a longer time with the settlement triple bill issued by the tobacco station, waiting outside the cash payment window of the Agricultural Bank of China, waiting for them to re-examine in an orderly manner, and go through the procedures for cash payment or local storage.

Every time I go to the tobacco station to sell tobacco leaves, I don't need to talk about other situations. A toss of the sales process can definitely make the people who sell flue-cured tobacco want to die and be exhausted. Selling tobacco leaves is never a pleasant process for tobacco farmers, and going to tobacco stations to sell tobacco leaves is a chore.

This time, the "flue-cured tobacco acquisition management system" has been fully put into use, and the biggest change is the change in the accounting and settlement process of the tobacco station, resulting in the improvement of settlement efficiency.

Qi Jingtao has long been familiar with the technical affairs such as the construction of the "flue-cured tobacco acquisition management system" software, development tools, functional module settings, business processes, etc. The quality of using software also depends on the actual application effect.

The role of Qi Jingtao in coming to the tobacco purchase station is to evaluate the actual application effect of the software of the "flue-cured tobacco acquisition management system", and to provide professional user opinions and suggestions for the next improvement and upgrading. In this information system project, he is not a developer and designer. It's the group of people who pick on the thorns as professional users.

Arriving at a tobacco leaf purchasing station, Qi Jingtao habitually wandered around the tobacco station. He stood casually next to a weighing point, just in time to see a grading officer accompany the tobacco farmer to weigh it. The inspector shouted loudly to the weighing personnel: "The flue-cured tobacco household number is 2110089, and Li Chaodong's family weighs it." ”

"2110089, right?" the weigher shouted to confirm the information.

"Yes 2110089 number. ”

"Li Chaodong, Li Chaodong, Li Chaodong come and weigh!"

"Come on, come on, go down orange one. ”

With the sound of answer, a thin black man happily came to the scale, holding in his arms the lower orange flue-cured tobacco, which had just been mined and roasted, and was rated as the best flue-cured tobacco in the lower part of the tobacco leaves.

The thin black man loudly agreed to the shout of the weighing officer, put the flue-cured tobacco in his hand on the scale, and hurriedly trotted back to the grading point to pick up the sorted tobacco leaves.

Qi Jingtao, who was wearing a work badge, glanced at it a few times, slipped to where the weighing staff knocked on the door, and entered the computer operation room next to him in a grand manner. Seeing the information displayed on the computer screen in front of the computer speculation personnel, flue-cured tobacco household number: kf0802-2110089, address: group 10, Fanyang Village Committee, Tonghongdian Township, Huajiao County, head of household: Li Chaodong, planting area: 17.6 mu, estimated yield of 6600 kilograms, variety: safflower Dajin Yuan .......

There are more than 10 projects, accounting for half of the screen, which is the basic information of flue-cured tobacco growers that has been established by the "Flue-cured Tobacco Acquisition Management System". This is a bit cumbersome, and it's tiring to look at it, but the interface design should still be as simple and practical as possible.

The top row shows the basic information of the operator.

The following is the weighing list, the operator typed the word "X1F" on the keyboard, and waited for the tobacco farmer named Li Chaodong to carry all the flue-cured tobacco of this grade, and waited for the weighing staff outside to report the number to her.

"Lower orange one, 139.65 kg, 139.65 kg, 139.65 kg. The number of the weighing staff came in. The smoke station was crowded with people and noisy. The weighing personnel must shout loudly and repeat the number three times to ensure that the computer operator can hear clearly and record it.

The scale scale can also be seen clearly from the position of the computer operator, but the number shouted by the weighing staff must prevail. If she finds that there is an error in the data reported by the weigher, she can ask for the weighing again.

Anyone who has ever weighed on an old-fashioned scale knows that weighing is not just about the scale, but also about calculating the weight of the weight. If it's an electronic scale, it's much better, it's clear at a glance. Moreover, the data weighed by electronic weighing has been collected by technical means very conveniently and quickly and directly transmitted to the computer system. Qi Jingtao knew that this set of technology had already matured, so why didn't this flue-cured tobacco acquisition management software be directly adopted? This situation must be recorded.

After watching the computer speculation personnel confirm the number, type 139.65, and press enter to confirm.

"Lower orange two, 187.23 kg. ”

……

"Lower orange three, 208.5 kg. ”

……

"Lower Lemon IV, 21. 25 kg. Finished. ”

After the computer operator finished the entry, he reached out and took the record book of another manual recorder standing next to the scale, checked the number of flue-cured tobacco grades on the computer screen one by one, and confirmed that the data was completely consistent, and then pressed the settlement button to finally confirm the weighing data. The printer quickly prints out the settlement list of the quadruple bills, and the manual recorder next to it tears off the printed list, confirms the data, signs and seals the vouchers, and gives the other triplicate bills to the tobacco farmer named Li Chaodong.

The man named Li Chaodong wiped his sweat and wanted to take orders, but he felt that his hands were too dirty and covered with sweat. Awkwardly wiped his hands clean on his body, and then carefully took the triplicate sheet, checking the number on it item by item, of course, the most concerned is the data of the group of representative funds in the lower right corner representing his income today.

After making sure that the data was correct, Li Chaodong happily went to the entrance of the tobacco station, where the Agricultural Bank of China, which cooperates with the tobacco company, set up an on-site office to handle cash business for the tobacco farmers.

This black and thin man named Li Chaodong, his flue-cured tobacco sales task today is basically completed. It's time to take the money home!

Qi Jingtao habitually looked at his watch, from the beginning of the weighing to the tobacco farmer named Li Chaodong getting the triple order, the whole process lasted 12 minutes. The main reason is that Li Chaodong holds the tobacco leaves on the scale, and after weighing, he holds the tobacco leaves from the scale and puts them into the warehouse, which delays a lot of time. Hurry up and hurry, so busy that it still takes about ten minutes to complete the weighing process of a tobacco farmer. As for how much time it took for that Li Chaodong to wait in line, this is not in Qi Jingtao's statistics.
