The more Ye Zhiqiu thought about it, the more he felt it was suitable, because he really didn't want to work in the kitchen. It would be so much better to be a buyer!
So he quickly explained to them, "Master Uncle has always wanted me to work in the kitchen because the cafeteria is still short of a director, and he wants to appoint one of his own, who seems to be a section-level cadre!
But as a buyer, I have the resources and connections. Besides, the job of a buyer is so lucrative, I don't even want to be a cadre!
"Master, once you go there, you'll be able to become the canteen director with the help of your uncle. This way, Master, you'll be a cadre, and we'll have face when we tell others about it!"
Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head and said, "Disciple, stop talking. That's the path your master paved for you. What would happen if I went there? Competing with my own disciple for a position? I can't afford to lose face!"
Ye Zhiqiu could see that Wang Lei was a little tempted. After all, being a boss is nothing these days, being a cadre is the real deal!
He quickly persuaded, "Master, I really don't want to work in the kitchen. You've been teaching me for so long, and I brought a lot of ingredients, right?
How many people have this ability? If I go to work, I won't be able to maintain this ability! In the future, if anyone wants to order some ingredients, they have to go out and tinker with it themselves. What's the point of that?
Now you take your senior brother with you. Once you become the director, you can let your senior brother be the kitchen team leader. How face-saving it will be when you tell others about it?
Besides, the three of us, master and apprentice, are in the same factory, which makes it convenient for me to learn cooking. It's a win-win situation for everyone! I believe that my uncle will be very happy to know that you are willing to go there!"
It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted, because being a cadre these days is indeed what everyone pursues! Even a first-class chef is still quietly studying his cooking skills in the kitchen, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a cook!
Ordinary people don’t know what your level is or how good your treatment is. They will only remember that you are a cook!
Just like that five-star review followed by a comment like "cook and servant", this kind of situation exists in modern times, let alone now!
We normal people all have the same professions, but dogs see people as different, and there is nothing we can do about it!
So the word "cadre" really touched Wang Lei's heart. And after Ye Zhiqiu's persuasion, he also understood that he really didn't want this apprentice, and it was not just a casual excuse.
Huang Dahe just listened quietly. He was not a talkative person, and he really respected his master Wang Lei, so he would just listen to and do what he said.
So he actually wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't open his mouth, because his master's own choice was the one he followed.
Wang Lei asked doubtfully, "Disciple, you really don't want to be a cadre? Why? Everyone wants to be a cadre, why don't you?"
Ye Zhiqiu explained with a smile: "Hey, Master, let me tell you two, don't tell anyone else!
Do you know how much I've made in the past two months? Over five hundred yuan! I know someone who can help me get fish and meat for a low price, sell it to companies that need it, and then we split the difference.
Master, do you know how much a section chief earns a month? Just 114 yuan! I earn half a year's salary in just two months!
Even if there are no such good opportunities in the future, I can still earn the salary of a section chief in one or two years in a year! Why should I work so hard to earn such a small salary?
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu was just exaggerating. It is true that purchasing agents do make money, but it is not so exaggerated!
However, this was also a well-considered choice by Ye Zhiqiu. As a buyer, he didn't have to go to work every day, he didn't have to be caught when dealing things, and no one would suspect him of bringing something home!
The most important thing is that there will only be more and more supplies in his space. Without a buyer, the backlog will only get bigger and bigger!
Wang Lei and Huang Dahe looked at each other in bewilderment, because they couldn't possibly make that much money. Not to mention the reduced supply this year, even when they were doing business casually before, they couldn't make more than a few hundred yuan a month!
Huang Dahe couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Ye, is being a buyer really that profitable?"
Ye Zhiqiu gave the two of them cigarettes, lit them, and then explained with a smile: "The job of a purchaser is not about making more money, but the one who makes money is the purchaser who can get the supplies! Let me give you an example. Before I became a disciple, I had established relationships with the people in Sanlitun Village.
I helped the factory collect fish from a pond and earned over 200 yuan. Of course, this kind of profit from the price difference is not something you come across often.
So the more people you get to know, the more people will give you things to sell to, and the more profit you can make. For example, I know a lot of people who deal with fish, so I was able to bring fish here every day to learn how to cook them a while ago.
Master, aren't you having a headache? You've taught me so many fish dishes, and there are no new ones to teach me, so I don't keep bringing fish.
Otherwise, I could bring fish here every day, all year long! Anyway, I can get fish cheaply, and that’s what sets me apart from other buyers.”
Wang Lei finally understood that his apprentice really didn't like being a cadre!
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand why the apprentice only loves to make money and does not pursue status!
After all, as a purchasing agent, he now has cooking skills and can help himself and his junior brothers to take on wedding banquet work!
If I had the ability to sell supplies, the money I could make from the wedding banquet would be better than running a restaurant!
Because Wang Lei and Li Bicheng met and talked about it. Although Wang Lei himself has never done such a thing, Li Bicheng has done it!
The cost of preparing a wedding banquet table is three dollars, you can’t get away with it! And if the dishes are well cooked and satisfy the host and guests, there will definitely be extra rewards!
