Yang Jinming, manager of the company's purchasing department, reported to the white hand that the inventory of rebar was urgent.

The white hand is very disapproving, whoever lacks raw materials will not be able to lack his head.

Under normal circumstances, the supplier takes the initiative to deliver goods to the door, and the procurement problem can be solved by sitting in the office.

The two core materials, such as steel and cement, are signed long-term contracts with the factory, and there is only a price problem, and there is no shortage problem at all.

Flipping through the report handed by Yang Jinming with his white hands, he read several key data several times.

"Lao Yang, there are nine types of rebar bars, and six are out of stock, and you, the purchasing manager, want to burn your ass."

The white hand has its own unique requirements for the inventory of each raw material, and when it comes to steel, there must be a seven-day inventory.

On the report in front of me, there is no problem with other steels, that is, these six kinds of threaded steel bars, the inventory is only six days, and the few are only four days, and one of them is only two days.

If the supply of raw materials is not available, it will cause the construction site to stop, and the loss is difficult to calculate.

Yang Jinming smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my responsibility. It was the steel mill that reformed the sales system and did not notify us, which was tantamount to a surprise attack and caught us off guard. ”

"How did they get the reforms?"

"In the past, it was the sales department of the main factory that had the final say. Now each branch has set up a sales department, which gives a lot of autonomy. The sales department of the main factory only plays a guiding role, and no longer specifically manages the sales business. ”

Bai Shou said: "This doesn't affect us." People are not discontinued, production will not decrease, and sales will not decrease. ”

Yang Jinming said: "I heard that they signed a big customer and contracted two-thirds of the output of these six kinds of threaded steel bars at once, and signed a ten-year contract. We are big households, so we have the greatest impact on us. ”

"Damn, this is a monopoly."

"Xiaobai, my grade is not enough, and you have to come forward in person."

Put down the report with your white hand and reach for the phone.

Yang Jinming said: "Looking for Chen Qingxiang?" He's not in charge of sales now. ”

Chen Qingxiang is the deputy director of the steel mill and a friend of his hands.

While dialing the number, he smiled and said, "You have to find an original partner for divorce." ”

The phone was connected, and it was Chen Qingxiang who answered the phone.

"Lao Chen, I'm white-handed. Lao Chen, what's the matter with you? Dropped the ball? Dismissed? ”

"Haha...... You kid, do you want me to do well? I'm still the deputy factory director, but I'm no longer in charge of sales, I'm now in charge of logistics and administration. ”

"Grandma, you're still hard-mouthed, and it's no good to care about logistics, isn't this tantamount to dismissal in disguise."

Chen Qingxiang smiled: "Don't talk nonsense. Now the autonomy of each branch has been expanded, and the sales department of our main factory is virtually non-existent. Xiaobai, it's very different from before. ”

Bai Shou asked, "Which deputy factory director is in charge of sales now?" ”

"Deputy Director Yao Deming, you've met."

"Yes, the good old man is in charge of sales, it's really useless."

"Xiaobai, you're done. The reality is that in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the branches, various powers are decentralized, including sales. ”

"Damn, no matter what, you have to respect our contract."

"What's the situation?"

The white hand said that this situation of the inventory of threaded steel bars is urgent.

"Xiaobai, you put down the phone first. You wait, I'll contact you after I understand the situation. ”

More than ten minutes later, Chen Qingxiang's phone call came back.

"Xiaobai, I'm sorry. They signed a big contract, 10 years long, and the purchase volume accounted for 65 percent of the production. Now they are paying with one hand and delivering with the other, taking more than half of the rebar bar. ”

"Who? Who is so powerful? ”

"Your neighbor, Huxing Construction Engineering Company."

"Lao Chen, this is not very in accordance with the rules."

"There's no way, Liao Huxing, the owner of Huxing Construction Engineering Company, his uncle is an old friend of the branch director."

The white hand sighed, "Help me think of a way, the rivers and lakes are in emergency." ”

Chen Qingxiang said: "I'll go to the branch factory to see if there is any superfluous, and give you adjustments." Well, I can't guarantee it. You yourself should hurry up and think of a way, I believe in your ability, the living will not be suffocated by urine. ”

After answering the phone, he looked at Yang Jinming with white hands, "Tell me, what measures are your procurement department going to take?" ”

Yang Jinming said: "First, I will send someone to the steel mill to keep an eye on it and try to get some." Second, contact your peers and see if you can get points from them. Third, go to the trading market to run, if it really doesn't work, buy some at the market price to solve the urgent need. ”

Nodding his head in approval.

"Lao Yang, have you noticed that we feel a little controlled by others in terms of steel procurement?"

Yang Jinming nodded and said: "There is indeed this problem, even if there is no big customer to intervene, this problem will be exposed sooner or later." Because although we have five steel suppliers, in fact, they are one. ”

The white hand pondered: "The dignified Tengfei Group Company was stuck in the neck by a few steel bars, and it must be laughed to death when it is passed out." ”

"Or, or?" Yang Jinming hesitated, and stopped talking.

"Something to say."

"Huxing Company will definitely not use so much steel, and it will definitely be sold on the market. Otherwise, I'll go find them......"

Bai Shou hurriedly waved his hand, "Old Yang, have you forgotten what I said?" ”

Yang Jinming hurriedly said: "Other companies can communicate, but this Huxing company can't have any contact." ”

Bai Shou nodded and said solemnly: "Therefore, even if the construction site is suspended, I will never buy a single steel from Huxing Company." ”

"Xiaobai, we have to have a long-term plan."

"In addition to Shanghai, the surrounding cities, such as Ningbo, Suzhou and Wuhan, all have steel mills, all of which supply steel. Lao Yang, you personally lead people to run around and sign one or two long-term contracts. ”

Yang Jinming said: "Okay, I'll hurry up and implement it." But there's a big problem. Our purchasing department has calculated that the planned price of steel from other places, plus freight, is about 50 yuan per ton more expensive than the planned price in Shanghai. Of course, it is still much cheaper than the market price in Shanghai. ”

Bai Shou made up his mind, "The price is not a problem, you can hurry up and do it." ”

The white hand is calm on the surface, but the heart is uneasy.

After Yang Jinming went, he thought for a long time with his white hands and got up and went out.

As soon as the white hand arrived at the side of the car, before he opened the car door, he heard the horn of the car outside the courtyard gate.

It is Zeng Yushan and Hu Xiangrui, two fellow villagers and peers.

Zeng Hu and the others didn't get out of the car, so they had to come over with white hands and get into the back seat of Zeng Yushan's car.

"Xiaobai, is there a shortage of goods in the warehouse?" Hu Xiangrui said with a smile.

Bai Shou was stunned for a moment, "Hey, how do you two know?" ”
