Chapter 46 Procurement
I have been working in the supply and marketing cooperative for nearly a month.
It was not until she saw the familiar villagers from Taoshan Village selling eggs that Liu Qingqing remembered that the supply and marketing cooperative had the right to purchase eggs on its own.
The supply and marketing cooperatives purchase not only eggs but also various vegetables, dried vegetables, and vermicelli and rice noodles.
Eggs from the supply and marketing cooperative are the most scarce commodity, although villages from several brigades below them will bring eggs to sell.
It still cannot solve the problem of out-of-stock.
Private items can only be sold to supply and marketing cooperatives.
The agricultural and sideline products collected by the supply and marketing cooperatives will also be sold to other units.
You can even sell local products all over the country. This is all legal and compliant.
However, the supply and marketing cooperatives here basically purchase products from other places and sell them back, and there are very few products for export.
After discovering this problem, Liu Qingqing felt that her eggs had a market, but it was impossible to sell grain and meat.
The village paid all the grain as public grain, and the pigs were also handed over.
Selling it privately is a crime.
She didn't think about this matter privately. When submitting the accounts in the evening, Liu Qingqing brought up the matter in a casual manner.
"Ren, I think we never have enough eggs to sell here."
Li Yiren nodded: "Yes, many people bought it."
Liu Qingqing pretended to feel sorry: "Today, an aunt from our village came to sell eggs. She walked for too long and lost her balance, so she fell. By the time she got to our place, there were only a few left. She was crying as she left."
"Indeed, eggs are afraid of being bumped."
Seeing that Li Yiren wasn't interested in chatting, she quickly changed the subject: "Yiren, what do you think? If our supply and marketing cooperative arranges a car to go to the village to buy goods once every two weeks, can we make more money than we do now?"
Li Ren raised his eyes and glanced at her, then he realized that she had some idea.
"Xiao Liu, if we go to the village to buy, we will have to bear the losses caused by damage during the journey. In addition, there are labor costs and transportation costs, which will all be included in the cost."
Liu Qingqing nodded in agreement. "I see. Actually, this can be solved by increasing the total purchase price. For example, eggs are currently four cents each. If we go to the village to purchase in bulk, saving the villagers time and money, we can buy them for three cents each. Also, our village doesn't just have eggs. We also make delicious vermicelli noodles. In autumn, when pine nuts, hazelnuts, and walnuts come down from the mountains, we can have the villagers pick them and we can collect them together. They're easier to transport, and they're rare, so the price is lower."
Because the wild nuts in the mountains are very heavy, there are not many people picking them to sell, and it is too difficult to transport them.
Li Yiren was also somewhat tempted after listening to it. He didn't care much about eggs. As for the vermicelli and the like that Xiao Liu mentioned, not only were they easy to transport, but the cost was indeed low, and it would be easier to sell them to other regions.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
Liu Qingqing retreated readily. This matter was not something that could be settled with just a few words from her.
Although she thinks it is very feasible, the final decision lies with the leader.
We have done everything we can, and now we just have to wait for the leader.
On the one hand, she wanted to export the products legally, but on the other hand, her work was about to expire, and she couldn't keep looking for new buyers.
Then you will become bald sooner or later.
It’s better to create a job for yourself.
A few days later, Li Yiren smiled at Liu Qingqing, who was delivering the report, and said, "Your suggestion that day was good. I've researched the acquisition and it seems feasible. The only problem is transportation."
The transportation team of their supply and marketing cooperative is very busy. They have to go to other places to purchase things every few days. How can they go to the village for this job?
"What do you think, Li Ren?" Since he said that, he must have his own ideas.
"Why don't you go and take care of this matter and let the production team organize the manpower and vehicles to deliver it themselves, or use a donkey cart, which our cooperative has." Their place is the head office of the Wuning Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the other cooperatives are not far from here, so they can use donkey carts to replenish goods.
Liu Qingqing was speechless. Isn't it the same? Take Taoshan Village for example. How far is it? There are even many villages that are farther away than Taoshan Village. How much can a donkey cart or an ox cart carry? The speed is slow and the road is unstable.
"Ren, I see that the vehicle of our supply and marketing cooperative's transport team is often parked at the back." It means that it is idle.
"Xiao Liu, the car is idle, but the people are not. We, the team members, are all working overtime to transport supplies back and forth. We are out on the road for several days, and we can't stand it if we don't have a rest when we come back." Li Yiren tapped the table rhythmically.
"Li Ren, I have a suggestion, but I don't know what you think. I'll first negotiate the purchase with the brigade below, and then you can send a truck driver to go with me. I'll try to learn how to drive in one trip, so we don't have to trouble these drivers in the future. When the truck is idle, we'll let the brigade prepare the things to collect." Liu Qingqing said tentatively.
Li Yiren listened and suddenly laughed: "Xiao Liu, you think driving is easy? Even grown men need a period of time to learn it. You want to learn it in one trip? Don't crash our supply and marketing cooperative's car." Cars are much more precious than people.
Liu Qingqing...
If all actions didn't have to be justified, she would have wanted to give him a lap right away.
"Li Yiren, don't look down on me. I'm very good at memorizing everything I see. Don't even think about asking me to learn it once. Even if you find someone to teach me right now, I can learn it in one go." Liu Qingqing pretended to be unconvinced.
Li Yuren...
The toad yawned—what a big tone.
He wanted to send her away, but when he looked down, he saw another jar of tea on the table.
Oh, forget it.
Xiao Liu is usually quite perceptive.
It seemed that he had almost finished his tea, so another box was secretly sent to him two days ago.
"After get off work tomorrow, I'll have Li Jun teach you. Once you've mastered it, we'll talk about it."
Li Jun is his nephew, so he can be ordered around by the family.
Just consider it as payment for drinking tea.
