Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 212: Trip to Northeast China

If the people from Purchasing Section 1 don't leave, only Purchasing Sections 2 and 3 will be left.

Director Zhang decided that Purchasing Section 2 and Purchasing Section 3 would go together.

My goodness, Zhang Weiguo was stunned.

Why am I here again?

Moreover, Zhang Weiguo and the second section chief have no connection at all, and this person is not easy to get along with.

"Director, can you not go?"

"No, you have to go."

"How many people are going?"

"That much food is too much for two people to carry."

"So much food can only be transported back by train."

“It takes a lot of people just to transport the food to the train station.”

"We also need to protect the safety of food on the road, and all of this requires people. We can't do without enough people."

The issues mentioned by Zhang Weiguo are all issues that need to be considered.

This is not something that can be done by just two people going there.

The two of them don't have such great ability.

Neither of them was familiar with the place, so it was difficult to get food. The first problem was where to buy food.

The second question is what the price is, which is not just one or two hundred kilograms.

How can I carry so much money?

A range of issues need to be considered.

The more I talk about this, the more questions arise. I can't answer them all in just a sentence or two.

For many things, Director Zhang cannot have the final say alone.

How much does this belt cost, and what is the price of food?

All of this requires a plan; Zhang Weiguo and his team cannot just spend as much money as they want.

It would be great if Zhang Weiguo and his people could spend as much as they wanted, as Zhang Weiguo could make a lot of money from the difference.

This trip alone would be enough to pay Zhang Weiguo half a year's salary.

Director Zhang went to discuss the problem with the factory director.

Zhang Weiguo and his team went back and prepared their things for departure.

It’s cold in Northeast China. Even though it’s summer, the temperature should be lower than here.

You should prepare some thicker clothes as I will be away for more than a week this time.

It will take at least ten days or half a month.

With such a long time, we still need to prepare a lot of things.

The most important thing is the national food coupons.

Without national food coupons, you can’t even eat.

Local food coupons are restricted and can only be used in one place and cannot be used anywhere else.

National food coupons are different and can be used anywhere.

This requires the preparation of national food coupons, which the factories should be able to prepare.

But, certainly not too much.

It’s better to prepare more so that you can eat better when the time comes.

Zhang Weiguo also wanted to buy some ginseng because the ginseng there was the best.

Zhang Weiguo wants to buy some aged ginseng.

And sausages and stuff.

It is not yet certain when we will leave, but it will probably be within the next two days.

Now it depends on the outcome of the meeting.

The factory director called together all the leaders above the director level to hold a meeting.

The main thing was to discuss how many people would be needed to purchase grain and how much grain would need to be sold.

There will definitely be a lot of people going this time, and it will be unsafe if there are fewer people.

This time we need at least ten people.

They have also heard about the chaos in Northeast China.

As for manpower, we must have enough, and we cannot let anyone steal the food.

Director Zhang said that the people who will go this time are the two section chiefs of Procurement Section 2 and Procurement Section 3.

Since there are two section chiefs going, each of them will bring two assistants.

These are the six people, and they are mainly here to purchase food.

The next step is to choose the people who will protect the food.

Ten security guards were selected to protect the food.

They all need to be equipped with guns and also need to consider gun certificates.

After choosing the person, the next thing to consider is how much money to bring.

After discussion, it was decided that the two section chiefs would purchase separately, with each section chief bringing 10,000 yuan.

The two section chiefs are at the same level, and neither wants to take orders from the other.

One is to purchase separately, so that we can see who purchases more food.

There are benefits to this. If you don't know the purchase price, there is room for manipulation.

This is also to prevent the two from enriching themselves.

After things have been discussed, the next step is to select the people.

Select ten people from the Security Department.

As for guns, you cannot carry long guns as it is inconvenient. You can only carry pistols.

When carrying a pistol, you have to consider how many bullets to bring. One magazine holds seven bullets. To be on the safe side, each person should be equipped with another magazine, which means fourteen bullets.

Fourteen bullets are enough to deal with any unexpected events.

This was mainly for precautionary purposes, not for war.

All ten security guards need to be equipped with guns, as do the two section chiefs.

The remaining four assistants are no longer needed.

Their job is just to do some chores and they don't need to be equipped with guns.

After the meeting, Director Zhang went to see the two section chiefs.

Talk about the results of the discussion.

The two section chiefs led their respective teams, each carrying 10,000 yuan.

How much food you can bring back depends on your ability.

Each person selected two assistants and then waited for train tickets.

Zhang Weiguo asked the people in the third purchasing department if anyone wanted to go to the Northeast. They could sign up proactively as there were only two spots available.

There are actually two people who signed up.

"Go home, pack your things, and tell your family. I guess we'll be leaving tomorrow."

After the two left, Zhang Weiguo told Liu Wen that she would take care of anything.

If you really can't solve the problem, go find the director.

Be sure to keep an eye on them.
