Chapter 51 and the West Brigade
The county town where Liu Qingqing lived had ten towns and thirty-five people's communes under it. Each commune had about ten production brigades, and each brigade had about ten production teams under it.
The Hexi Brigade they want to visit belongs to Wuning County, and Taoshan Village is a production team in the Hexi Brigade. In addition to Taoshan Village, there are six villages under the Hexi Brigade.
Of course, production teams were not divided according to villages. Some villages had more people, so more production teams were divided.
It is rare for the entire Taoshan Village to be just one production team.
The captain of the Hexi Brigade, Lu Pingjin, is older than the village chief of Taoshan Village.
The village chief brought Liu Qingqing into the brigade headquarters. After a brief greeting, Liu Qingqing began to introduce herself.
"Captain Lu, I'm Liu Qingqing, a purchasing agent from the Wuning Supply and Marketing Cooperative."
Lu Jinping was confused by the arrival of Ning Nanhai and the other man, but that didn't stop him from extending his hand with a smile on his face.
"Oh, it's Purchaser Liu. Welcome, welcome. Our Hexi Brigade hopes that knowledgeable people like you will come and provide guidance on our work."
After they sat down, Liu Qingqing told Lu Jinping about the supply and marketing cooperative's purchasing plan and program, mainly explaining in detail the benefits of this model of acquisition of Wuti.
"Captain Lu, we don't just collect eggs and vermicelli noodles. We also harvest mushrooms, hazelnuts, and walnuts from the mountains. Taoshan Village alone harvests quite a bit every year. Then there's dried vegetables. Every village in our brigade dries vegetables in the fall. Now that we have the supply and marketing cooperative as a sales channel, shouldn't every household try to dry more? If we can sell all of these to the supply and marketing cooperative at a fixed time, every household in our brigade will be able to live a prosperous life."
Lu Jinping nodded repeatedly, this is great.
"Thank you, Purchaser Liu, for bringing such encouraging news to our team."
Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "We're all serving the people. Besides, I'm from our West Brigade. When the supply and marketing cooperative leaders had this idea, I thought of our West Brigade first. I was afraid that we'd be left behind, so I took the initiative to take on this task."
Lu Jinping secretly felt lucky that the people came from their team and they would think of their own people when good things happened.
"Purchasing Manager Liu is right. We are all family. Let's come up with a set of rules. Once they are agreed upon, I will hold a meeting with each production team tomorrow."
Liu Qingqing took out the list she had prepared and said, "Captain Lu, take a look. These are the prices of the agricultural products our supply and marketing cooperative is currently planning to collect."
Lu Jinping took it and frowned: "Isn't the purchase price of these eggs a bit low?"
Although the price per jin is probably only two or three cents less than what normal villagers get from selling it at the supply and marketing cooperative.
But even with just a few days of this, there are still many people who would rather do it themselves than seek this convenience.
Liu Qingqing was not worried about this. At the beginning, some people would definitely mind the price difference, but over time, everyone would be influenced by the herd mentality and slowly change their habits.
The main reason is that she had these in the early stage and was able to slowly smuggle them out.
Later on, when she stopped taking care of this stall, the purchase volume was almost the same as at the beginning, and there was no problem on the books.
Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "Eggs are fragile, so we're taking the risk of transporting them. Captain Lu should know that even if farmers are careful on the way, they might still get damaged. We collect them from each village. This distance is much safer for the farmers, transferring the risk to us. Of course, we have to control the price."
Lu Jinping didn't understand what risk transfer was, but that didn't stop him from bargaining.
If the price is set too low, the acquisition will be useless.
The two of them discussed this matter for the entire afternoon.
The final price was within the range approved by Director Li, and Liu Qingqing did not insist on it. She was already bothered by the high purchase price, and as long as the supply and marketing cooperative approved it, it would be fine.
Liu Qingqing calmly took out another piece of paper and handed it to him.
Seeing that the other party was well prepared, Lu Jinping's eyelids twitched.
