"Look, if this continues, not to mention the people coming to buy things, we ourselves won't be able to make ends meet." Li Wenhua pointed at the data in the account book and showed it to Lin Tian with a bit of helplessness.
"Oh!" Lin Tian could only sigh helplessly.
Lin Tian couldn’t say that this was just the beginning and it would be even more difficult next year.
"By the way, now that you are in charge of logistics, I have to tell you, regardless of whether the food in our cafeteria is delicious or not, I think there may be nothing to eat in the cafeteria for some time to come." Li Wenhua said.
"Ah? That shouldn't be the case. We have such a big store, how can we be without food in the cafeteria?" Lin Tian was a little confused by what Li Wenhua said.
You have to know that although the canteen has a certain amount of funding, if it relies on the funding, the canteen will have to eat coarse food every day. Therefore, the canteen has been using the store’s small treasury. Although this cannot guarantee that every meal will be full of fish and meat, at least they are ordinary meals that can fill people up.
"We can't lack food, but we can't use up the store's bill just because of a bite of food. Who dares to take this responsibility?"
"The business in our store is getting worse and worse. I asked Yu Meili about it before, and the small treasury is almost empty. If the food in the cafeteria is not good by then, these people will definitely rebel." Li Wenhua whispered to Lin Tian the whole story and the causes and consequences.
"Ah..." Lin Tian let out a long sigh.
"This is something I need to think about."
After hearing about Li Wenhua's story, Lin Tian fell into deep thought.
Although there are supplies in the store now, they are limited, and the difficult situation has also led to the store’s small treasury being almost depleted.
If the cafeteria is short of supplies, Lin Tian can still think of a way to get some out of the space to feed the store employees.
But the problem now is that the store has supplies but lacks money.
"Brother Li, do you have any good ideas?" Lin Tian couldn't think of any particularly good solution for a moment.
"The supplies from above have been reduced by 30% now."
"I went to various factories in the city and tried to get some support, but it's just a drop in the bucket. You see, now we don't dare to sell the things in the warehouse. If they are all sold out at once, we won't be able to explain it." Li Wenhua said he had no good solution for this matter.
"After I calculated this, the largest treasury in the store now is the pigs that Wang Mingyu got, right?" Lin Tian suddenly thought of this.
"That's it. I can sell them all and save some money."
"In the past two months, I just took the pork to the cafeteria and shared it with everyone. If I exchanged it for money, I wouldn't be able to buy that much pork."
"But it's still sustainable now. If the pigs there really run out someday, I think these people in the store will cause trouble."
After listening to this, Lin Tian nodded. Wang Mingyu really did some good things in the past, otherwise he would be in a very difficult situation now.
Just when Lin Tian was having a headache about this matter.
Li Wenhua came up to Lin Tian and said, "You can't make money, but someone can. As long as we have more money in our treasury, with our connections, are we still worried that we won't be able to buy food for the canteen?"
Lin Tian suddenly realized that it was true that he couldn't make money on his own, but he had someone to help him.
"You mean thank you..." Lin Tian also replied in a low voice.
"That's right, he must have a way. There is no way for him to think about it. If it really doesn't work, he can still ask for it from above." Li Wenhua said with a smirk.
"Haha, Brother Li, you still have a way." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Look, this is such an easy thing to do." Li Wenhua stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
"Yes, as long as he can solve the money issue, everything else can be easily solved." Lin Tian nodded.
Lin Tian sat in the purchasing department for a while and talked with Li Wenhua about what had happened in the store recently.
"I'm leaving." Lin Tian raised his hand to check the time and said to Li Wenhua.
"Where are you going? At this time?" Li Wenhua asked with some confusion.
Lin Tian raised his head and gestured backwards.
"I'll go take a look at the back." Lin Tian said.
Li Wenhua understood when Lin Tian gestured to the back that Lin Tian wanted to go and check on the situation in the cafeteria. A new official has to do a lot of things when he takes office, so Lin Tian had to do some of the work.
"Go, go." Li Wenhua waved his hand.
Lin Tian came out of the office area with a smile on his face and headed straight for the cafeteria in the alley behind.
As soon as he reached the door, Lin Tian heard laughter and scolding coming from inside.
"Eat less! Leave some for me."
"No, you always eat the most."
"Stop talking nonsense. I am your elder brother."
Lin Tian stood outside and listened for a while. It turned out that the people in the cafeteria were quarreling over food for some unknown reason.
“Bang!”
Lin Tian kicked the door open from outside.
Suddenly, the back kitchen of the cafeteria fell silent, because even though Lin Tian rarely came to the cafeteria before, he could still be recognized.
After seeing that it was Lin Tian.
There was a hot-tempered employee who pointed at Lin Tian and said, "What the hell are you doing? You scared me."
Lin Tian did not say anything, but instead looked at Wei Dafa, the person in charge of the cafeteria.
Wei Dafa was also shocked. He didn't expect that his brother was so cruel and actually started to curse him. If Lin Tian held a grudge against him and targeted the cafeteria in the future, he would be in trouble.
"Old Four, shut up! This is our new deputy director Lin, who is in charge of our cafeteria!"
The man called Lao Si was also startled, but he still looked unconvinced after hearing it, and looked at Lin Tian with squinted eyes.
Lin Tian ignored Wei Dafa and walked towards the kitchen.
In the center of the room they were surrounding was a plate with slices of meat on it, which had obviously been partially eaten.
"Hehe." Lin Tian looked at the plate and sneered twice.
Now, several people including Wei Dafa were dispirited. Although it was not a big sin for a cook to eat a little, the time was now.
It was a time when supplies were in short supply, and the employees in the store were lucky to have two pieces of meat every two or three days. But they were actually eating meat in the kitchen. If this got out, these people would eat them.
Then Lin Tian took another look around the kitchen, it was so dirty and messy!
"Comrade Wei Dafa, you manage the kitchen very well. We have delicious food and drinks every day." Lin Tian said to Wei Dafa with a sneer.
Wei Dafa was already feeling guilty, and after hearing what Lin Tian said, Wei Dafa almost broke out in a cold sweat.
"No, no, I didn't do well. Please give me more criticism, leader." Wei Dafa said stutteringly.
"Not good? I think it's pretty good. Gathering in the kitchen to steal food, and look at the hygiene in the kitchen, it's as clean as a pigsty. It's really good." Lin Tian's voice came out coldly.
