Vice President Sun frowned as he took the questionnaire.
"We need to buy all these things. How much will it cost? Chief Fei, can we pay for it with our account?"
Everyone looked at Fei Meilan.
Fei Meilan said slowly, "It depends on how much Chen Xia plans to buy."
Chen Xia smiled. "How much I plan to buy depends on the budget you leaders have prepared. If the budget is large, I'll buy more, with more varieties. If the budget is small, I'll buy less."
Chen Xia, the head of the General Affairs Section, only has executive power but not decision-making power.
Zhang Zhizhong suggested, "Our hospital has 560 employees, 410 of whom are regular employees and 150 are temporary workers. It's rare that the General Affairs Department is so enthusiastic this year. How about a standard of 30 yuan per regular employee and 15 yuan per temporary employee?"
Dean Gu stated, "I think Secretary Zhang's proposal is a good one, but there's one caveat: the budget needs to be adequate. The regional leaders would like to use our funds to distribute some New Year's gifts to their regional offices. I think we should budget 30,000 yuan."
Fei Meilan nodded. "30,000 yuan is not a big problem. I even hope to get more benefits, haha."
Chen Xia had no objection to this budget. If you pay more, you can buy more; if you pay less, you can buy less.
"Leaders, I have another question, which is about invoices. To be honest, all supplies are in short supply during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, Chief Luo wouldn't have been so depressed after being scolded. So the accounts I want to use are not from regular units, which involves an invoice issue."
Zhang Zhizhong didn't quite understand and asked, "What's wrong with the invoice? Whether it's expensive or cheap, just issue it."
Chen Xia explained, "Secretary Zhang, what I mean is that I want to make purchases outside of the plan and not through the supply and marketing cooperative, so I may not be able to get the invoice."
Oh, so that's how it is. Everyone looked as if they had suddenly realized something. To put it bluntly, Chen Xia was planning to engage in "speculation and profiteering".
Dean Gu asked, "Are you confident that you can get so many New Year's goods?"
Chen Xia nodded firmly. "I'm confident. In fact, I've been looking for a way recently. The price is a little higher than normal, but the quantity and variety won't be a big problem. Also, I don't have a formal invoice. I wonder if the boss will accept it?"
Fei Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Accounting is simple. Our finance department is independent, so we just need the leaders to sign and approve it. Also, the unit price shouldn't be too outrageous. It's okay if it's half the market price, but it would be hard to justify if it's more than that."
Gu Wei, Zhang Zhizhong and Sun Jianshe nodded in agreement.
"Well, the leaders just talk, and the employees run around. Now that the senior leaders have agreed, I'll go and prepare it right away."
"Hahaha, fuck you! If you can't get these benefits, not only will you be scolded by the employees and become depressed, but your position as section chief will also be gone."
When Dean Gu said this, everyone laughed.
When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Anyway, Fei Meilan has already drawn the bottom line, and no one is afraid that Chen Xia will be too greedy. He is the great contributor for being able to get so many benefits.
It's normal to have some benefits. If you don't give this kid any benefits, you won't be able to eat such delicious beef hotpot in the future.
After the meeting, Chen Xia thought about it and decided to purchase all the pork from Xipu Commune. According to the feedback from Fourth Grandpa, the price was 20 cents per catty more expensive and the farmers were very enthusiastic about purchasing. This could be considered a deal and he just had to wait until before the New Year to purchase it.
Such a large amount of seafood could definitely not be handled in Yuezhou, so Chen Xia decided to go to the Zhoushan Islands in the east of Zhijiang, which was the place of origin.
In the early 1980s, transportation in the Zhoushan Islands was very inconvenient. There was no highway connecting the islands, and transportation to and from the mainland was limited, relying only on two passenger and cargo roll-on/roll-off ships.
It's easy to tell that the wholesale price of seafood there is absolutely dirt cheap, and there is profit even when shipping it out.
Melon seeds and peanuts were also easy to deal with. The "Silly Melon Seeds" that later became famous throughout the country was located in Wuhu City, Huiqing Province, only a day or two's train ride away from Yuezhou. Chen Xia also decided to go there in person to purchase them.
As for fruits, this is a bit troublesome. The main producing areas of apples and pears are in the north, and Chen Xia has no time to rush there. It seems that he can only go to the provincial capital to find sources of supply. I believe that with money, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Luo Jiacheng has now become a small soldier in the General Affairs Department.
But he had no complaints. He just felt refreshed and comfortable after retiring. He went to and from get off work on time, did not eat, drink or socialize, and even his blood lipids dropped.
After Chen Xia returned to the General Affairs Department, he handed over the work for the next few days to Luo Sicheng, asking him to be the "caretaker government manager."
It was already the end of December, and the Chinese New Year was just over half a month away. Chen Xia had to devote all his energy to purchasing New Year's goods.
Hearing that Chen Xia was going on another business trip, Gu Lin was quite unhappy. She had hardly seen Chen Xia in the past month, and accordingly, all her snacks were almost gone. How could a big foodie tolerate this?
In the plum garden.
Chen Xia said with a smile while packing his things:
"Isn't it your father, the dean, who's to blame? I have nothing to do but run around all day. I'm almost exhausted."
Gu Lin was munching on a big apple while rummaging through things in Chen Xia's room.
She had already searched the room and found a bag of beef jerky, two kilograms of tangerines, and a large box of White Rabbit milk candy, and then confiscated them all with justification.
"How many days will it take to go to Wuhu this time?"
"It won't take more than five days. I have to go to Jinling and transfer to another train. It would be great if there was a high-speed train. It can travel at 300 kilometers per hour and arrive in two hours."
"What is high-speed rail?"
"It's a train that flies high in the sky, like an airplane, flapping its two big wings and flying."
"roll."
The two of them joked around for a while, and Chen Xia suddenly thought, "I'm going to the Zhoushan Islands after I get back from Wuhu. Are you interested in seeing the sea?"
Gu Lin's eyes lit up. "Really? I want to go! I want to go! I've never seen the ocean in my life! Are there any shells to pick up on the beach? Can I eat coconuts? Can I go swimming in the sea now?"
Chen Xia was speechless. "Miss, it's winter now. You can enjoy the sea view, eat your fill of seafood, and swim in the sea. Just prepare a frozen hairtail fish."
The little girl was already jumping up and down. "Anyway, I just want to go out and travel. Chen Xia, you're so kind to me. Thank you. I'll go back and ask my dad for leave."
"Don't mention that I'm going alone. The old man definitely won't agree. Go and call Wang Hongjuan, Kong Zhenzhen, Guo Mutou and the others. If we go with more people, I guess your father won't object. Hey, walk slowly. Did you remember what I said?"
"I know~~~"
When he said this, Gu Lin was already outside the gate.
