Lin Tian has been quite annoyed recently because many goods have not arrived yet, but when he goes to urge for the goods, he often returns in vain.
You have to know that in this era, as more and more industrial products are designated as unified purchase and sales, you don't have to worry about it at all. You just have to wait for the quota to expire.
For example, the recent gold pen and fountain pens. Usually, there may be one or two gold pens in the store, as well as some quotas for fountain pens.
Sometimes these things can be forgotten if they arrive a few days late. Lin Tian was too lazy to care about it. It was nothing unusual.
But there are some things that he can't keep from giving you, so you have to go find them.
The main reason is that the production of gold pens is low in this era, maybe only a few are produced a year. Sometimes when they come, the store leaders and salesmen will just divide them up and they are gone. This time, Deputy Director Wang Jing, who is in charge of logistics, asked Lin Tian several times.
For these two or three gold pens, Lin Tian went to the superior department twice. The superior department said that they had sent the documents to the cultural company. At this time, the gold pen factory was under the management of the cultural company, with unified purchase and sales.
Then Lin Tian went to the cultural company again, and the cultural company said: The document has been sent to the factory.
So, out of desperation, he went to the Beijing Fountain Pen Factory again today.
"Hey, isn't this Lin Tian?" Lin Tian had just registered with the security guard when he heard someone calling him.
Lin Tianyi turned around and met his old classmate.
At this time, Lin Tiancai remembered that his junior high school deskmate had given him a pen when he was in school. You know, a pen at that time cost more than one yuan, which was a very valuable item.
"Zhu Zhixin, Fatty Zhu!" Lin Tian also remembered this old classmate.
"Haha, why are you here?" The two hugged each other; they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"I came here to do some work today. If I had known that you also came here to work, I would have come here earlier." Lin Tian was still very happy to see his old classmate.
At least things should go more smoothly today. Zhu Zhixin was a good student in school, and he was loyal and protected Lin Tian a lot.
"I remember you said when we graduated that you went to a grocery store, so why are you here on business?" Zhu Zhixin asked in confusion, then suddenly thought, "This is not the place. Let's talk in my office."
The two men walked through the factory and came to a small room in a row of bungalows at the back.
"Not bad. You've got an independent office." Lin Tian said after coming in.
"What? We have a lot of space here, and it would be more comfortable for you to have a room of your own." Zhu Zhixin poured a glass of water for Lin Tian and said.
Then Zhu Zhixin also sat down and said, "Tell me why you are here."
"My previous grocery store has been converted into a grocery store, and I have become a purchasing agent for the grocery store." Lin Tian said simply.
"Oh my!" Zhu Zhixin slapped the table and continued, "You are so lucky, you can even catch up with such a thing."
"It's pure luck. That's why I came here today to urge for the goods." Lin Tian explained.
"How much goods do you want? Let me see." Lin Tian handed the order form transferred from the higher authorities to Zhu Zhixin.
"That's all. I'll ask you later." Zhu Zhixin took charge of the matter directly.
"Since you're here, you can't just do this. You have to do something unplanned for me." Lin Tian wasn't polite. He had always had a good relationship with Zhu Zhixin when they were in school, so he spoke directly.
"Okay, it's no problem for me to get you ten or eight in a month. Our monthly output is over ten thousand now." Zhu Zhixin didn't care, it was just a small matter.
"What do I need those for? They're quite expensive and hard to sell. Just get me ten later and I can go back and distribute them to the people at work." Lin Tian said.
"No big deal." Zhu Zhixin said.
"It looks like you're doing pretty well."
"It's just so-so. You know my parents both work in the factory, and I'm not cut out to make pens. I can only run errands for the boss at work."
Lin Tian suddenly remembered something. He had vaguely heard that there was a very talented master craftsman in the pen factory at that time who was very good at making pens.
"I heard that you have a very good chef here." Lin Tian asked in a low voice.
"You are talking about Master Wang, right? The cars he rides are all special supplies. Do you know all this?" Zhu Zhixin was a little curious.
"I've heard people mention it occasionally before. Can you make one for me? I'll pay for it myself." Lin Tian said.
"Okay, I'll ship it out of the warehouse outside the normal plan later, and then you can just give me Master Wang's."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. If I had money in my pocket, I would give it to you."
"What's wrong? Are you no longer obsessed with the girls in your class, but are obsessed with the Eight Great Hutongs?" Lin Tian said with a laugh.
"What? I have to hand in all my salary, and my mother only gives me a few dollars a month for pocket money." Zhu Zhixin said aggrievedly, and then asked Lin Tian: "What about you?"
"Me? We split up and I live on my own now."
"That's good too. At least you can have the final say on everything." Zhu Zhixin was a little envious.
"Each has its own merits."
"I'm telling you, I'm engaged, and I wanted to give you a letter when we get married. My mother said that after we get married, she will give her salary to my wife to manage." Zhu Zhixin said.
"You're going pretty fast. I'll definitely go when the time comes. But you're not old enough yet," Lin Tian asked.
"I am one year older than you, you forgot. But this is not the key point. My wife who is not yet married is quite difficult to deal with. She is a well-known fierce girl in the alley." Zhu Zhixin said aggrievedly.
"Haha, my auntie has good vision. You need to find someone tough to take care of you." Lin Tian said with a smile.
The two chatted about current affairs for a while, and then talked about their former classmates for a while.
Then Zhu Zhixin took Lin Tian to go through the procedure of picking up the goods. As for the money, it would be considered as the grocery store's debt and the accountant would handle it when the time came.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to a couple of drinks." Zhu Zhixin said after Lin Tian finished his work.
"Oh, that won't do. You helped me today, so I'm treating you. Besides, you're already so miserable. I won't plunder you, haha." Lin Tian said.
The two of them found a small bar outside the factory and had a couple of drinks.
………
"Leader, we've finished the work at the Fountain Pen Factory." After Lin Tian came back, he reported his work to Deputy Director Wang Jing immediately, smelling of alcohol.
"It seems that their factory cannot spare the manpower, so no one has been taking care of this matter. Now everyone goes to get it. In addition, they have approved 10 more than planned." After Lin Tian finished speaking, he put the documents and a pen he had brought back on the table.
"Good, thank you for your hard work. Let's treat them to a drink. Record it as a treat with the accountant later." Deputy Director Wang Jing was quite capable and did not let Lin Tian pay for it himself.
Then he continued, "You can ask the various logistics departments if anyone wants to buy these gold pens, and then give out five of them."
"Yes, Director."
"Well, go ahead."
You have to know that gold pens in that era were quite expensive items. Only those with connections in grocery stores who were not short of money could afford them. It was probably equivalent to the price of buying a luxury bag in later generations.
