After returning to the company with Wu Changfeng, Wang Chao attended the morning meeting and then went back to his office.
Just as I was about to contact the construction site in Jiangcheng about the cement delivery, a colleague from the human resources department walked in.
He was holding a stack of documents.
Wang Chao was taken aback. People from the HR department? They've been busy with employee insurance payments lately, so why are they here?
The HR staff placed the documents in front of Wang Chao and said in a somewhat displeased tone, "Minister Wang, you should take better care of your subordinates. If there are any changes, please let us know in advance to avoid us doing duplicate work."
"Huh?" Wang Chao asked politely, "What's wrong?"
"Hey, one of your purchasing agents, Zhang Wei, has resigned," the HR department continued. "He didn't even go through the normal procedures, he didn't want his salary, he just left. We still need to delete his insurance information."
"Luckily we haven't started paying yet, otherwise we'd have to close the account, which would be a huge hassle."
Wang Chao recalled that there was indeed a purchasing agent named Zhang Wei.
This person's work was decent; they were able to complete the procurement on time. Why did they suddenly resign?
Wang Chao said, "I really don't know. This person has never shown any dissatisfaction with the company or boredom with the job. Maybe he has found a better option."
The HR department nodded: "That's possible. Minister Wang, please complete the paperwork. As for his salary, just freeze it."
"good."
Wang Chao quickly signed the approval document, granting Zhang Wei's resignation.
Wang Chao thought it was just a simple employee turnover, but little did he know that things were only just beginning!
After the personnel department staff left, Wang Chao began to investigate who was in charge of Jiangcheng Cement.
I had no idea until I checked, and it turned out to be Zhang Wei!
From the time Zhang Wei joined the company until his departure, he was responsible for almost all of Qimingxing's cement procurement, and the order volume was not small, after all, the cement floors in the newly built workshops required a lot of cement.
Wang Chao frowned and checked the purchase price, which was about the same as the market price.
Without giving it much thought, Wang Chao called the others and took over Zhang Wei's work.
After an employee named Li Li took over, she began contacting the supplier, boss Qin Tianhe.
Qin Tianhe is a private business owner in Jiangcheng who deals in building materials such as cement and steel bars.
He personally went to the manufacturers to transport all the products he had.
In this era, product information and logistics are underdeveloped.
Qin Tianhe needs to travel to other places from time to time to personally pick up the goods with the truck.
When he received Li Li's call, he was somewhat bewildered and angry.
They actually called?
So what if we change players?
I'll still curse them!
Qin Tianhe shouted into the phone, "Didn't I say? I'm not doing this business with you! You Qimingxing are powerful, if I can't afford to mess with you, can't I at least avoid you?"
"Don't call me! I'm not a philanthropist!"
Li Li scratched her head: "Boss Qin, why are you getting angry for no reason? Are you sure you don't want to cooperate with us anymore?"
Li Li also has a temper. We are a prestigious company called Qimingxing. So many people are eager to cooperate with us, and you still give me attitude.
You've spoiled us! Fine, don't cooperate then, just remove us from the supplier list. What are you pretending for?!
Qin Tianhe shouted into the phone, "No cooperation! Not only will I not make money by cooperating with you, but I'll also lose money! Are you trying to fool me?"
"By the way, where's Zhang Wei? He's too ashamed to talk to me, so he sent you to lie to me, is that it? Let him answer the phone!"
Li Li said, "Zhang Wei has already resigned, and I've taken over his work. As for what happens between you two, I don't care. I just want to ask you, can you deliver the cement? If you can, hurry up. If you can't, I'll find a new supplier."
Qin Tianhe's heart skipped a beat.
Has Zhang Wei resigned?
well?
What's going on?
Qin Tianhe shook his head, clearing his dizziness, and said, "Why did he resign?"
"How would I know?" Li Li said, getting a little annoyed. "Can you stop dawdling? Are you going to deliver it or not? Phone calls cost money, don't they?"
Qin Tianhe swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "How many points do you want?"
"Huh?" Li Li was dumbfounded.
How many points do I need?
Is it really that blatant?
Li Li asked, "Have you and Zhang Wei always been like this?"
"It's more than that!" Qin Tianhe sighed. "Not only do they try to drive down the price, but they also demand a commission. I'm practically breaking even."
"Wait a minute." Li Li checked the purchase price and asked, puzzled, "This isn't right. Zhang Wei bought your cement for 230 yuan per ton. Isn't that the normal market price?"
"Didn't our finance department settle the payment to you at 230 per ton?"
Qin Tianhe said in a low voice, "Li Li, are you new here? You must know all the ins and outs here, right?"
Li Li snorted: "I understand, but I didn't expect Zhang Wei to have connections with everyone, and you to be an accomplice!"
"This..." Qin Tianhe smiled wryly: "It's serious. We suppliers really have no choice but to do this in order to increase sales volume, otherwise we won't get rebates from the manufacturer."
"To be honest, Zhang Wei is really good at driving down prices. I'll be frank with him, the price I offered him was 190 yuan per ton, and even then I had to give him a rebate. I didn't make any money at all!"
“A few days ago, he wanted cement again and tried to lower the price. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I refused.”
"Now that he's gone, we can have a proper talk."
Li Li's mind was buzzing.
It seems I've heard a shocking secret.
How much money did Zhang Wei make?
The cement roads in the factory area and the cement surfaces in the workshops require tens of thousands of tons of cement!
