Chapter 53: The Art of Procurement
When Zhang Daquan heard that his identity was seen through, he didn't talk nonsense, and took out the remaining half of the big front door and stuffed it directly into the man's hand
"Comrade, I'm here from Sijiu City, and I've come all the way overnight just to get the pigs, see if you can help call the secretary of the commune"
Which man saw Zhang Daquan standing up, and stuffed the cigarette into his pocket. Then he looked at Zhang Daquan with a smile on his face and spoke
"It's not impossible to take you there, it's just that you don't have food in your stomach and can't walk"
Zhang Daquan smiled, didn't pull with the man, and directly took out a food stamp from his pocket, Li Ping'an couldn't see how many catties it was, and directly stuffed it to the man opposite.
If you do this kind of thing, you have to be prepared to be slaughtered, why should people sell pigs to you and not to local factories? If you sell it to a local factory, you can also give it to your village in the future, so that the people in the village can earn some money. Sell to factories in other places, and factories in other places will not give you manual procurement tasks.
Therefore, if you want to buy pigs, you can't have anything to do with the village, and you have to give them for some small things. The envelope that Chen Youfu gave before coming was used for this purpose.
The man on the opposite side took the food stamp, leaned in front of the headlights to look at the face value, and then loaded the food stamp with satisfaction. Turning to the three of them, he said,
"Okay, you comrade is an old purchaser at a glance, you know the rules, let's go, I'll take you to our secretary"
Zhang Daquan sent it away as soon as he saw a food stamp, and he was also relieved in his heart, and hurriedly asked people to get in the car and lead the way.
The group of four soon arrived at the door of the commune party secretary's house, and the man jumped out of the car first to call the door. After a while, the door opened, and an old man in his fifties walked out, who should be the secretary of their commune.
Which of the men who led the way first pulled the old man aside and said something, and then came back again
"Come with me to the office of our commune, and the secretary will be there later."
After the four of them came to the office, the man poured water for Li Ping'an and the three of them, and then introduced
"Hello to the three purchasers from Sijiu City, I am Song Wei, the militia captain of Tagou Commune. You wait here for a while, and when the secretary and the leaders of the commune come, you can talk again."
After finishing speaking, he ignored the three of them, and sat on the side to smoke by himself.
In addition to Zhang Youcai, who was more nervous among the three, Li Ping'an and Zhang Daquan also lit a cigarette each, and the old god smoked it.
Li Ping'an felt that someone was pulling the corner of his clothes, so he turned his head to look over, and found that Zhang Youcai was covered in sweat, so he couldn't help asking
"Brother Youcai, what's wrong with you?"
With Li Ping'an's words, the people in the whole room instantly looked at Zhang Youcai
Zhang Youcai saw that everyone looked over, and said to Li Ping'an a little embarrassed
"Brother Ping'an, can you give me a cigarette?"
Li Ping'an saw Zhang Youcai like this, knowing that he hadn't experienced this, he was a little scared. Nodding his head, he handed over a cigarette.
Zhang Youcai took the cigarette a little nervously, and Li Ping'an struck the match for him. Zhang Youcai clumsily imitated the way others smoked, leaned his head over, lit it with his hand and took a deep breath
"Ahem, cough, cough"
A violent cough rang out in the somewhat quiet office.
Song Wei laughed exaggeratedly when he saw Zhang Youcai's appearance
"You can't do it, you young man, how can you not smoke when you do shopping? You need to practice more."
Zhang Youcai heard Song Wei laughing at him, his face turned red instantly, and he didn't know if he was blushing or feeling embarrassed to blush.
Li Ping'an came out to relieve him
"Captain Song, this is an intellectual, a cadre of the finance department of our factory, not us workers who do procurement."
Song Wei heard that this young man was an intellectual, so he immediately put away the mocking expression on his face, and a respectful expression resurfaced on his face
"It's an intellectual, since this comrade can't smoke, don't learn to smoke. Intellectuals should devote themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of the country, and it is useless to learn these things to deal with people."
Li Ping'an couldn't help but glance at Song Wei deeply, hoping that he would still maintain his respect for intellectuals when the wind started next year, so that the teachers who were delegated to them would be a little better.
Song Wei's words opened an opening for communication between the four of them, and Zhang Daquan immediately began to talk to Song Wei, trying to get Song Wei to help say a few words when the procurement negotiations were deadlocked.
Before the two of them could say a few words, the door was pushed open, and more than a dozen people walked in, all of whom seemed to be leading cadres in the village.
After a few of them came in, Li Ping'an and the three of them hurriedly stood up, and Zhang Daquan took the initiative to shake hands with everyone one by one and introduce each other.
After all the introductions were completed, Li Ping'an found that all the cadres in charge of the commune had come, from the secretary of the commune to the captain of the production team. None of them were there.
After everyone sat down with each other, the secretary of the Tagou commune spoke first
"Comrade purchaser, I already know your intentions, but the whereabouts of the unplanned pigs in our commune have been allocated, and many of the buyers of our local factories have already greeted us in advance.
Listen to the sound of words and listen to the sound of gongs and drums.
This commune secretary is an old fox, and the previous words can be listened to as, if they don't want to sell pigs, not all the cadres will come, and in the end they didn't say that they would not sell to you, but that they would sell to you and we were very embarrassed.
The focus is on the word "embarrassment".
What does this mean, Li Ping'an heard it, and then it was said that Zhang Daquan was an old purchaser.
"Secretary Song, I also know that it is a bit unruly for me to come to the door at night, and now it is eleven o'clock, and I can't help waking up the big guys. In this way, let's not talk about the pig problem first, wake up the big guy, I also don't want to go, in order to compensate you, on behalf of our rolling mill, I will send a one-pound national grain stamp to all of you here as an apology for disturbing you comrades tonight."
After Zhang Daquan said this, he kicked Li Ping'an's leg, and then handed over the envelope given by Chen Youfu under the table.
When the cadres of the commune heard Zhang Daquan say this, they also hurriedly excused themselves. Among them, the secretary of the commune refused with a righteous face
"Comrade purchaser, what do you mean by this, it's just that it woke us up to sleep, how can I ask you for an apology? We rural people are not so expensive."
So he said so, but none of them stood up to stop him.
