The pharmaceutical company acted quickly, probably because they were really anxious. By noon, all the needed fruits were transported to the Fourth Hospital.
In this way, all the New Year's goods that Chen Xia promised were distributed without any discount.
Every regular worker receives 5 jin of pork, 5 jin of hairtail fish, 5 jin of pomfret, 5 jin of melon seeds and peanuts each, in addition to 10 jin of apples and 10 jin of pears.
Temporary workers were halved.
So many New Year's goods caused a sensation not only in the four courtyards, but also in Yuezhou area.
Many units now have money in their accounts, but they are struggling to find sources of goods. The supply from the supply and marketing cooperatives cannot be guaranteed at all.
But if these units were asked to follow the Fourth Hospital's example and provide their own welfare benefits, firstly, their leaders wouldn't dare, fearing mistakes. Secondly, they simply didn't know where to source the supplies.
For example, the New Year’s goods for the Fourth Hospital this time, the Shazi melon seeds are in Huiqing Province, and the seafood is in Zhoushan Islands. The transportation alone is not something they can solve.
So now everyone can only see the Fourth Hospital eating and drinking well, and then they see those lousy and inferior things issued by their own units and they get angry.
On that day, countless leaders in charge of logistics in various units were scolded by their employees, and countless general affairs section chiefs had their windows smashed to pieces.
The happiest people must be the Yuezhou regional office. The Fourth Academy also prepared some New Year's goods for them, which allowed these office cadres to have a good year.
Decades later, no matter if they are PhDs or returnees, everyone is trying their best to take the civil service exam.
But in the 1970s and 1980s, if a university student was asked to choose between working in a government agency or in a business after graduation, the vast majority would choose to work in a business.
Because state-owned enterprises offer good treatment and benefits.
On the contrary, the government agencies at that time were all poor. The money belonged to the country and they had no right to use it. They could not create wealth either, so where did the money come from to provide welfare?
So during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, they all hope that their subordinate units can be more sensible and give them some benefits.
When the leader heard that the New Year’s goods for the Fourth Hospital had been delivered, he went to take a look. There was both meat and fish, and the quality and quantity were guaranteed, and he was very happy.
It also gave him a deeper understanding of Chen Xia's business capabilities and gave him an inspiration:
Encouraging the free flow of goods is what the people want and the general trend.
Chen Xia was sitting in the hospital's finance office at the time, counting the bills for Fei Meilan with his fingers:
"A pig costs 120 yuan, apples are 0.45 yuan a pound, and duck pears are 0.4 yuan. So, the total is 4,800 yuan and 5,822.5 yuan respectively."
These are all traceable in the accounts, and Chen Xia doesn't want to cheat, so he reports the expenses truthfully.
Anyway, a pig sold for more than 20 yuan more than in previous years, and the villagers of Qingfeng Village and the surrounding areas also made a small profit, so this favor naturally fell on him.
"In addition, melon seeds, peanuts, and seafood were all allocated outside the plan, so their prices are a bit higher than the market price. Melon seeds are 5 cents per pound, peanuts are 6 cents per pound, hairtail is 7 cents per pound, and pomfret is a bit more expensive, at 8 cents. That's 7,535 yuan and 1,000 yuan respectively. The total cost of these four New Year's goods is 0.5 yuan, which is within the 30,000 yuan budget provided by the hospital."
Fei Meilan's calculations were clacking, and Chen Xia looked at her guiltily.
"Also, you have to reimburse the transportation, accommodation, and food expenses when you go out to purchase, as well as some social expenses."
After saying that, Chen Xia looked at Fei Meilan guiltily again.
Fei Meilan flicked her abacus and stopped calculating:
"Anyway, it's up to you how much to spend, as long as it doesn't exceed the 30,000 budget. Fill out this funding form, clearly indicating the unit price and total amount, and I'll get the leader's signature later. Everyone is super satisfied with this year's benefits, and I want to thank you on everyone's behalf, hehe."
After saying that, she put on a forced smile and looked at Chen Xia meaningfully.
Chen Xia didn't dare to look at her. This woman didn't look like a good person.
"Since Chief Fei said there's no problem, that's good. I can report back. Here's the remaining 1,567.5 yuan. Please take it." After Chen Xia finished speaking, he patted his butt and left the Finance Department.
Experienced financial officers like Fei Meilan are all experienced foxes. Although she has no evidence, some unspoken rules cannot be hidden from her. Chen Xia thought that he would give her 20 kilograms of beef in return. As for the Moutai liquor, forget it, it is his treasure.
Returning to the General Affairs Department, he couldn't wait to go into his office to calculate the real accounts.
The wholesale price of fried melon seeds was 20 cents per pound, fried peanuts was 23 cents, and the wholesale price of hairtail and pomfret was 20 cents each. Chen Xia made a total of almost yuan this time.
The author is not trying to whitewash Chen Xia. The quotes Chen Xia gave to the hospital were all normal market prices before the New Year. As for how much he got at cost, that was his ability.
What's wrong with him running around the country at the age of 18, risking jail time, and making a little profit?
It doesn't harm anyone's interests.
No one knows his supply channels and cannot find out even if they want to. Another important point is that local government agencies also have a share in these New Year goods. Those who check the accounts will feel obligated to do so, so how can they be interested in taking care of these things?
Do the staff of the Fourth Hospital have any objections? They've received so many New Year's gifts and benefits, what else do they have to say?
Deputy Section Chief Chen has been traveling to other provinces, islands, and every household in the countryside to collect live pigs. He is so tired that he has a fever. Do you have any opinions?
If you have an opinion, are you still human?
As for the leaders, well, haha. As the saying goes, when the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
They naturally thought that Chen Xia must have paid a lot of red envelopes in order to get so many New Year's goods. These were accounts that could not be made public, so they naturally let Chen Xia solve them himself.
Moreover, with so many New Year's goods in front of them, they didn't think Chen Xia could make much money, and it was even possible that he really didn't make a penny.
Especially his fever at the last moment was a godsend, which made the leadership of the Fourth Hospital have a very good impression of him.
So Chen Xia made a huge profit with tears in his eyes. This one profit made him a rare millionaire in those days.
Chen Xia thought in the office, no wonder those who worked in purchasing and supply marketing in enterprises made a fortune in the 1980s and 1990s, there was really too much gray income.
In fact, these are just small profits. How much can he get from taking kickbacks? The total amount is only more than 20,000 yuan of payment for the goods.
The key point is the extra melon seeds, peanuts, seafood and pork he bought, which is where he makes the most money.
But if he wanted to sell so many things, it would take him forever, and the possibility of getting caught would increase exponentially.
The best way is to sell it to the same company. With his current connections, only Lin Steel Plant has the ability to do so.
Chen Xia took advantage of the fact that no one was in the General Affairs Department at noon and called the homes of Qian Jin and Fang Zhe, who had given money to the Lingang Steel Plant.
