The petrochemical plant is about half an hour's drive from the school where Lu Tao studied, and Lu Tao still remembers that in his senior year, the school arranged an internship in the quality inspection department of the petrochemical plant.

The time when Lu Tao came over was 9 o'clock, mainly because of the transfer, but he was not in a hurry, Zhang Yatao said on the phone, the main thing is some reagents and consumables, and the instrument is not at all, after all, it has been a factory for so many years, and the instrument that should be bought has already been purchased, and it is not to engage in any scientific research, and under normal circumstances, no new equipment will be added.

The petrochemical plant covers a large area, and the entire plant area is full of pipelines and various devices, Lu Tao followed the location of the quality inspection department in his memory all the way, and then found a place and went directly to the second floor.

Zhang Yatao was doing a viscosity test, and a woman next to him had a black piece on her hand, which should have just taken the sample.

"Brother Zhang. Lu Tao walked in and said directly.

"You go to the office on the far right and wait for me for a while, I'll go look for you when I'm done, I'm too busy today. Zhang Yatao stared at the blender and said directly.

Lu Tao had no choice but to come to the office again, there was no one inside, so he chose a random place to sit down, and waited boredly.

After about 20 minutes, Zhang Yatao came in, and he didn't have any polite words, so he said directly: "Now we have a batch of consumables and reagents in the quality inspection department, you can see if you can do it there, if you can do it, I will report your company to your side at that time." ”

In fact, like in a petrochemical plant, if you only do oil testing, reagents and consumables are not quite the same as those engaged in scientific research.

"Brother Zhang, what about the invoicing on your side?" Lu Tao asked.

"Ah, I really forgot to tell you about this, our settlement here is basically settled every three months, so maybe in the early stage, you have to advance money. Zhang Yatao replied. This is also a tradition in many factories, because a department buys things, basically every day, so it usually chooses two or three suppliers, and then there is a cycle of payment methods.

Lu Tao roughly calculated, the payment at the test center is faster, because atomic absorption is a more commonly used equipment, so it is in stock in China, the delivery period is not long, and the contract has been signed for a few days, and the arrival of the goods is quite fast, that is to say, if he can get the money here, it will be much faster, and it is enough to think about it.

"That shouldn't be a problem. ”

"Okay, you see, this is some of the reagents and consumables we need. Zhang Yatao took out a stack of documents directly from the drawer.

Lu Tao didn't look at it at all, took it directly, and asked, "Don't you have that special supplier in your petrochemical plant?"

This part, he understands more clearly, some units basically have fixed suppliers, some are biennial, some are triennial, and some are once a year, and the bidding is not the same, that is, the bidding is carried out in the form of supplier shortlisting. During this time period, it is impossible to purchase from other companies, otherwise you will not even be able to make the payment.

"Hehe, do you understand quite clearly?" Zhang Yatao couldn't help but look at Lu Tao and said with a smile.

If it is really to do oil testing, in fact, Lu Tao doesn't really want to do it at all, first, he didn't do this at all in his previous life, and he doesn't know much about some instruments and equipment, at most he knows the name. For example, oil testing, viscosity testing, etc., the most important point is that petrochemical plants are not as good as others, which can be regarded as the lifeblood of the country, and many things are not currently available to him.

But now that Rosen has introduced him, there is a bit of a list here, and it is not a big problem to make a little money in the early stage, and he has to understand some of the key points, otherwise he will not know if he offends people when the time comes.

Even if he is a reborn, what he can touch and what he can't touch is still a little bit bottom.

"Brother Zhang, I'll take it back first, I haven't been involved much here. How's your purchasing department going?"

"They, the main thing is that I will report the plan here, and when the time comes, they will inquire about the price, and whichever one has the lowest price will do it. Zhang Yatao didn't think about it, and said directly.

Lu Tao smiled in his heart, this Zhang Yatao doesn't seem to understand it at all, if this kind of petrochemical plant is really so simple, I'm afraid it will have been carved up by other companies a long time ago, where can I get my turn.

"Well, I'll go back and make an offer for you first, and then we'll talk about it later. Lu Tao thought about it and said.

"Well, we have to do it as soon as possible, we're running out of what we had before. Zhang Yatao was still smiling and urging.

Lu Tao turned in his mind, thought of a way, and said: "Brother Zhang, if this is the case, why don't you talk to the purchasing department here to see if you can buy it first, and I will order the goods first, and then sign the contract later?"

"This ...... The process still has to be followed. Zhang Yatao said with some embarrassment.

"You just said that you are in a hurry, and the supply speed here is relatively fast, anyway, mention it to the procurement department first, see if it works, if it doesn't work, you can follow the normal process, and there is no loss, right?" Lu Tao looked at Zhang Yatao.

If he goes to the purchasing department, I'm afraid people don't care about it very much, and now he has a good relationship with Zhang Yatao, so he naturally doesn't want to run into a wall by himself, and it is easier to start from the inside than to slowly make a relationship by himself.

This situation is not unencountered, Lu Tao had a lot of dealings with some salesmen in his previous life, and occasionally heard people talk about this. Some units are very strict in management, and there are also fixed suppliers, but it cannot be said that there is no way to do it. For example, what Lu Tao just said, let the person directly responsible for the experiment and technology go to the procurement department, or say that another person has a spot and he needs to be in a hurry, or that only one can meet the requirements, etc., anyway, the procurement department is basically an inquiry job, and I don't know much about technology.

In this way, even if there is a fixed supplier, there will still be a way, either let the long-term cooperative supplier go through it from its own side and make a little difference by itself, or completely bypass that one and choose to buy directly from its own side.

Seeing that Zhang Yatao was still hesitating, Lu Tao said: "Your side is also in charge of technology, and they must still listen to your opinion." ”

"Then I'll try it, I'll call you when the time comes, and you'll go back and quote a price first." Zhang Yatao thought for a while and said.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, I'll wait for your good news. ”

In fact, such a small thing can be done with a phone call and a fax, Zhang Yatao had to ask Lu Tao to come over, but he came over, and he was a little confused.

"The gap with Dr. Luo is a bit big. Lu Tao said in his heart.
