Director Gong was still a little worried when he heard this: "What if there are any bumps along the way and the broken parts are damaged, won't we have to bear the responsibility?
That would be a huge loss, I think we should just give it to them this time, and let them pull it themselves in the future."
Actually, what Director Gong said makes sense. The nearby cities are not very close to each other.
A round trip consumes a lot of fuel, and if something happens on the way, the entire truckload of goods will be lost.
Don't you have to bear the loss yourself?
Lu Zhiye took a sip of the tea in his hand and said, "Director Gong, I have a different idea from you.
You must have something special to be able to work in a cannery."
When Director Gong heard what Lu Zhiye said, he subconsciously coughed lightly and straightened his body.
Then I heard Lu Zhiye say again: "What is the reason why our county and the neighboring county don't have canned food? I think it should be similar to the city.
They chose to abandon this food because it was difficult to transport.
We only need to solve the transportation difficulty and then add the transportation cost to the selling price.
As for the bumps and scratches you mentioned, I did an experiment some time ago. As long as you fill the carriage with straw and then tie it up with hemp ropes, there will basically be no big problems.
Of course, except for special circumstances, such as tire blowout and car rollover.
But this situation is unavoidable in any cargo transportation, and it is also within our loss range, what do you think?"
Director Gong lowered his eyes, thought about it carefully, and felt that what Lu Zhiye said made sense.
He then asked, "We have 80,000 cans in our warehouse right now. If we continue to produce for another two months, we estimate that we will have 200,000 cans.
You need to visit more cities and, if possible, counties as well. You can’t just leave all this stuff in your hands.”
Lu Zhiye nodded, pursed his lips and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about it hitting your hands. The shelf life of canned food is very long, and they are all steamed at high temperatures.
During festivals, we sell another batch of canned food and the price may be higher.
Then I can try to make some canned peaches and hawthorns."
Director Gong's eyes lit up; he was also dazzled by the order from his superiors.
He was afraid that this was his first time as the leader of a cannery and he would not be able to develop the profitability of the cannery.
When I went back to the county to attend meetings at major factories, I felt bad.
"Okay, why don't you go to a few cities first and see how the sales performance is?"
Lu Zhiye put down the teacup: "Then I will deliver this batch of goods to the next city, and then go to Harbin!"
"Go ahead, here's the list, don't forget to sign it at the warehouse."
Director Gong looked at Lu Zhiye's tall back with a look of pity in his eyes.
You need to have a flexible mind and know how to maneuver and adapt.
It’s a pity that with this identity, I’m destined to never achieve anything great.
Originally, the cannery was unwilling to give him this position, but no one knew what connections this young man had found that made the leaders of the commune agree to his decision.
Director Gong took a sip of tea and leaned back in his chair happily.
He has already begun to imagine his future, in which he would give passionate speeches in front of major companies.
He picked up the office phone and dialed the glass factory.
"Hello, Director Ge, it's me, Lao Gong, the person in charge of the cannery.
Hahahaha, I wish you good luck, I wish you good luck.
I want to order another batch of cans today, starting with 100,000 bottles."
Director Ge on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Lao Gong, the quantity you want is a bit large, but we can still make it by working overtime.
But can you please stamp the initial fee and settle it?"
The cannery had already ordered 50,000 cans from him, but had only been paid for 20,000.
Director Gong's originally high spirits suddenly became depressed. He coughed slightly and said, "Director Ge, can't you be flexible?
Our cannery has just been established and its reputation has not yet been made known.
I just sold a batch and the money has not come back yet. I will transfer it to you when the money comes back."
Director Ge felt very painful because the county leaders recently issued an order to provide certain assistance to the newly built cannery.
That's why he didn't ask for the payment before. Now Director Gong wants another 100,000 bottles. What should he do?
After thinking about it, Director Ge said, "Old Gong, let me give you 50,000 bottles first, and I will do the rest after you settle the bill.
The factory is not doing well right now, and I can’t keep reporting to my superiors, right?”
Director Gong nodded repeatedly, and when he thought that Director Ge couldn't see it, he quickly opened his mouth to thank him.
After hanging up the phone, both parties breathed a sigh of relief.
Their position may look glamorous on the surface, but in reality, it is not that easy to do things.
Lu Zhiye took the letter and was about to drive to load the goods when Director Gong stopped him and said, "Xiao Lu, wait a while before driving. Go to the glass factory first and bring the cans over.
This is the purchase order, I have already made it."
Lu Zhiye reached out to take the thing and nodded in agreement.
"Also, when you talk about finding someone at the agricultural machinery station, should I go talk to Secretary Wang, or will you go to the agricultural machinery station in person later?"
Listening to Director Gong's words, Lu Zhiye smiled and said, "Just give me a certificate and I'll go to the agricultural machinery station."
"That's fine, go quickly and come back soon."
When Lu Zhiye came out of the cannery, it was almost noon.
