Chapter 109 The Farmers' Trading Company Has Started
Riding a motorcycle to the agricultural trade company but did not see Shi Lei, Shi Lei took people out of the neighboring county to collect mushrooms and did not come back, Zhang Jinglei, the manager of the administrative department, took them to visit the company's planning and layout.
After more than half a month to come back again, the original farm tool factory store has changed greatly, the four shops on the street have been transformed into agricultural products purchase stores, the left two purchase the wild mushrooms in the peak season, and the right two as the purchase of storage and transportation department business negotiation room.
The upstairs of the store was originally the office of the farm tool factory, with a passage and two stairs, and five rooms isolated from each other, which happened to be arranged as the office of the general manager, the administration department, the finance department, the sales department, and the storage and transportation department. In the early days of the business, the organization and staffing gave priority to meeting the production line, the administrative logistics staff now have two or three kittens, and there are usually only Zhang Jinglei, the manager of the administrative department, who is alone, and the accountant Lao Pan of the finance department, and Jiang Lihong, the cashier, work in the office on the second floor.
In the compound, the left and right and the back row are one-story tiled houses, the four rooms on the left are arranged with a guard duty room, three temporary collective dormitories, the right is the canteen, and the five large rooms with a depth of 20 meters in the back row are warehouses, after all, they were originally warehouses of the farm tool factory, and those farm tools are not light objects, and they need to use a lot of space. Even if the wooden mechanism is designed, the space of the house is naturally not too low like the design of the private house, and the height and depth are moving towards widening.
When I entered the warehouse, there was no stock, and it looked empty. A large number of empty bamboo baskets were piled up along the corners, which were used to hold the purchased mushrooms, and one basket could hold about 20 kilograms of mushrooms. Storing the fungi in this way can best keep the fungi intact and easy to transport and handle.
There is also a pile of folded and stacked packaging cartons next to it, with three different specifications: large, medium and small. Printed with exquisite wild mushroom patterns and the logo of the Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company, contact phone number and other information, these should be used to make gift box packaging for unit customers.
The one on the left is equipped with a row of large freezers for temporary freshness of agricultural products that need to be kept fresh.
The floor of the warehouse is 1.4 meters higher than the yard, which can not only prevent the backflow of water in the yard on rainy days, but also facilitate getting on and off the bus. The seven-metre-high single-storey warehouse has wooden shutters on the upper floors to keep it bright and well ventilated. The air circulation in the warehouse is good, and it is very cool.
At noon, those who went to other counties and mountains to buy mountain goods had not yet returned, and there was not much business in the company, and there were only seven or eight people on duty.
The three of them walked around the rooms, and Zhang Jinglei also introduced Su Min, the financial manager, to several employees in the company, and everyone got to know each other. As for Qi Jingtao, that is an idler, the old watch of Shi Lei, the general manager of the company, came to the company to play with his old watch, so there is nothing else to introduce.
Back in the administrative office, the office furniture inside is still preserved from the original farm tool factory. The office furniture built by the farm tool factory itself is a bit old-fashioned, but the materials never cut corners and are very strong and durable. Four old-fashioned solid wood desks and chairs are still in good condition, a few low wooden backrest chairs, and a solid wood coffee table enclose the reception room.
Zhang Jinglei looked at Qi Jingtao with a smile and asked, "Xiao Qi, the company has just started, and the company's office environment is still acceptable because of the humble layout of the company's office environment?"
"Aunt Zhang, this is already very good. You have come forward to do things with us young people. In such a short period of time, it is much better than I imagined to keep this place in order, thank you. ”
"It's hard to talk about, and it's more annoying and tiring for me to retire and do nothing at home. Hehe, I'm still worried, you work in a large group, and you're used to the high-end and high-end office environment, so you can't get used to seeing me as a small family!" Zhang Jinglei said calmly, carrying the hot water bottle and preparing to make tea for the two of them.
Qi Jingtao hurriedly walked over and took the hot water bottle from Zhang Jinglei's hand, and Su Min also took the teacup and tea leaves by himself, and made two cups of green tea. I helped Zhang Jinglei fill her water cup before returning to the wooden chair and sitting down.
"Aunt Zhang, how many wild mushrooms can I put away in a day during this time?, is the company's liquidity enough?" Qi Jingtao asked with concern. The main reason why he can help the company now is the problem of funds, seeing the current scale of the company, the starting capital of 500,000 is still too little.
"It's not much, it's seven or eight tons. Every day after 3 p.m., those who run the mountain will send the mushrooms they bought that day to the company, and we will also send a car to several purchase points in neighboring counties to pick up the goods. We centralized sorting and packing, and those that need to be sent to Spring City will be sent over that night. One car can be sent every day, and when there is a lot of goods, two cars, about five or six tons of wild mushrooms are sent to Spring City. There are 15 sales staff stationed in Spring City, and two mini cars are reserved for distribution and pick-up and drop-off sales. At present, there are three batch stalls, plus the 47 hotels and restaurants that have been contacted, each with an average daily consumption of 30 kilograms, which can basically be sold out.
The purchase price of mushrooms is the highest for spicy mushrooms. During this time, the average is 130 yuan a kilogram, and only about 200 kilograms can be received a day, and the output is too small and in short supply. The second is miscellaneous bacteria, with an average of 20 yuan a kilogram,......
Working capital needs about 200,000 yuan, at present, basically the purchase and sale are cash spot, no credit, after the initial turnover, we can at least be ready at any time 250,000 to do liquidity, so much liquidity is enough......" Zhang Jinglei took a notepad from the desk, sat down and told Qi Jingtao and Su Min the basic situation of the company.
"Cousin, the company now has 29 people and five cars, and the cash flow generated every day is not small. You and Ah Tao are chatting, I'll go to the finance department first. "Su Min is here to do things, not to chat. When she came to the company, she couldn't sit still and was ready to go to the finance department where she was also in charge.
Qi Jingtao grabbed her, "Amin, don't be busy." Aunt Zhang has invited back the original accountant and cashier of the farm tool factory, they are all old financers, and they are very familiar with the industrial and commercial tax bank in the town. As we have just seen, the financial system is also in place, and there will be no problem with them being responsible for the company's daily financial processing. Hehe, your financial manager is not a bookkeeper, don't get bogged down in the daily things of accounting processing. ”
Zhang Jinglei sat calmly, drank saliva, and said with a smile: "Xiaomin, what are you doing in a panic? Sit down, listen to what the boss has to say, what can the financial manager do if he doesn't handle the company's accounts?"
"Hehe, Aunt Zhang, our company is almost 30 people just starting now, and after this season of wild mushrooms is done, there may be a few fewer temporary recruiters, and a private company of more than 20 people is not small. The company needs an experienced executive like you, as well as a financial manager. ”
Qi Jingtao paused for a while, took a sip of tea, looked at the two thoughtful department managers, and continued: "Amin is not an ordinary cashier accountant, but also a certified public accountant, you must know better than me what financial management is. I don't know about finance, I only know that financial management is an economic management work that organizes the financial activities of enterprises and deals with financial relations.
You still have your own work to do, you can't be resident in the company, and the daily accounting work is handled by full-time accountants and cashiers. You need to do a good job of financial supervision from the financial system and grasp the financial situation. When you come to the company in the future, you don't have to get caught up in the affairs of doing accounts and auditing, you should talk to Aunt Zhang, Shi and other managers more, understand and grasp the company's business situation, and help them make financial analysis and financial decisions from the perspective of financial management. ”
Qi Jingtao does not understand the specific financial business, but he has grown into an experienced qualified programmer, doing the software development and design of the internal management system of the enterprise. This made him develop a very bad habit, and he never looked at the problem from the point, from the surface, and from the specific daily work of the enterprise. Instead, it is based on the whole, optimizing the business process of the system, analyzing and dealing with the problem, at least from the operation system of a business system to analyze, sort out and look at the problem.
In the words of their own commanders, they are programmers who have to do the most basic work, with the heart of the top leader, focus on the overall situation, optimize and analyze, and only then can they develop and design practical application software.
Now, he habitually brought this bad habit to the farmer's trading company, and began to point fingers at Su Min, the new financial manager.
