Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

"Dongsheng, you go report first. I'm going to look for my dad first."

Xu Damao drank the soda and finally calmed down. Then the two of them went to the steel mill. After arriving at the steel mill, Xu Dongsheng saw various slogans. Although they were just ordinary words put together, they seemed to be full of power and made everyone full of energy.

Xu Damao was going to the Propaganda Department, while Xu Dongsheng was going to the Cadre Building. Although Xu Dongsheng's job was just a purchaser in logistics, workers these days were not ordinary people, so the first person to meet him was the factory director.

"Please come in."

Xu Dongsheng came to the factory director's office and knocked on the door. A moment later, he heard a call from inside. Xu Dongsheng pushed the door open and saw a slightly plump middle-aged man with a square face sitting in the office, seemingly reviewing some documents.

However, because someone came and stamped the document, the signing pen was still placed steadily on the side and the ink had not dried yet.

"Hello, boss. Is this Director Yang?"

Xu Dongsheng stood at the door and did not go in directly. Although it was written as the factory director's office, it was his first time here after all. If this person was not the factory director, it would be embarrassing. And most importantly, it was politeness.

"Yes, it's me. Comrade, please take a seat. What can I do for you?"

When Director Yang heard that someone was looking for him, he immediately asked Xu Dongsheng to sit down and asked him what he wanted.

"Director, my name is Xu Dongsheng. I graduated from junior high school. I felt that I was not sure whether repeating the year would be a good option. I thought that I should not waste my time and should join the construction of the motherland as soon as possible. So I went to the street office to apply for a position. The director of the street office recommended me a buyer for our factory. Here is the letter of introduction. Please take a look."

After sitting down, Xu Dongsheng told Director Yang about his situation and handed him the letter of introduction given to him by Director Tian.

"Yes, comrade, you are very conscious and strive to become our outstanding employee. I have signed here. You can go to the logistics office to find Director Li and ask him to arrange a job for you. The logistics office is on the second floor downstairs."

When Director Yang heard Xu Dongsheng's introduction, he could feel Xu Dongsheng's enthusiasm. He then opened Xu Dongsheng's letter of introduction, signed on it, and handed it back to Xu Dongsheng, asking Xu Dongsheng to report to the Logistics Department.

"Okay, thank you, Director. I won't disturb you from working now."

The factory director didn't say much. Anyway, these leaders appreciate everyone, but they treat everyone the same. If you don't produce anything, people won't pay much attention to you. Xu Dongsheng thanked the factory director gratefully and left immediately.

After Xu Dongsheng came out of the factory director's office on the fourth floor, he immediately went to the second floor, found the logistics office, and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

After Xu Dongsheng knocked on the door, a voice came from inside and the door was opened at the same time. It was the person inside who opened the door for Xu Dongsheng.

This logistics office is different from the factory director's office. There are eight desks and eight people in it, all of whom should be in logistics. Director Li, the logistics director, sat in the innermost seat. Xu Dongsheng asked the same question, confirmed the person, and then went in.

"Hello, Director. My name is Xu Dongsheng. I just went to the factory director to sign. The factory director asked me to come to you to report. Please help me arrange work."

Xu Dongsheng introduced himself as usual and then handed over the letter of introduction.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, welcome to join us. We have a new strong man in logistics. You graduated from junior high school, so you will have no problem doing our purchasing work. However, Comrade Xiao Xu, I need to explain some of our logistics situation to you."

After listening to Xu Dongsheng's introduction and reading his letter of introduction, Director Li immediately felt that Xu Dongsheng was a talent, because Xu Dongsheng only graduated from junior high school. He thought it would be no problem for such a person to work in purchasing, as he had good cultural and calculation skills and good physical strength.

But after Director Li praised Xu Dongsheng, he changed the subject and spoke to Xu Dongsheng seriously.

"Director Li, please speak."

Xu Dongsheng didn't know what Director Li was going to say, and thought, maybe there were not enough logistics staff?

"The situation is like this. This year's procurement task has become difficult since May, whether it is grain, oil, or fruits and vegetables. There are floods in the south and drought in the north. The autumn harvest season is coming soon, and we estimate that there will be a large shortage of grain.

This is why our steel mill has sent invitations to multiple streets to recommend people to be buyers. Our purchasing department, including the purchasing director, now has a total of 180 people. However, our steel mill now has more than 5,300 people, and the daily consumption is not simple. Let's not talk about other things, just the food.

The employees in our factory are basically all heavy manual laborers, and they need 5,000 to 7,000 kilograms of grain every day. The quota allocated by the higher authorities is large, but what we can purchase can only meet two-thirds of the demand at most.

Therefore, we have to find a way to meet the missing parts. Therefore, the task of our purchasing department is very difficult. Comrade Xiao Xu, are you ready to endure the hardship? "

Director Li introduced the current situation of the purchasing department to Xu Dongsheng with a heavy face, and then solemnly asked Xu Dongsheng whether he was ready.

"Always be prepared. I am a brick in the country's development. I will move wherever I am needed. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will always forge ahead and not fall behind. I will strive to be a pioneer and contribute to the construction of our motherland."

Xu Dongsheng immediately stood up and answered Director Li's question in a firm tone.

"Okay, not bad, you are energetic, motivated, and bold. Come, let me introduce you to Comrade Zhou Zhenghua, the head of the Purchasing Department. He will be your future leader. Your work in the future will mainly depend on the arrangements made by Section Chief Zhou. If you have any questions, you can ask Section Chief Zhou. If Section Chief Zhou cannot solve a problem, you can also ask me. Section Chief Zhou, please talk to Comrade Xiao Xu about the arrangements for him. I will leave him to you now."

While Xu Dongsheng was talking to Director Li, a man who looked to be about 40 years old with some gray hair stood next to them. After Director Li finished speaking, he introduced him to Xu Dongsheng.

"Hello, Section Chief Zhou."

"Comrade Xiao Xu, since you have joined our purchasing department, you will be one of us from now on. Director Li has just told you about the situation of our purchasing department, so I will not say much. Let's be frank. In our purchasing department, you have to make a living based on your own strength. The more things you can purchase, the greater your gains will be.

And because this year is special, the method of regularization in our purchasing department has changed. That is, as long as you can get 2,000 kilograms of grain within two months, you can be regularized immediately. After regularization, you will be assigned as an eighth-level clerk and paid at the twenty-sixth-level salary level, which means you can get a monthly salary of thirty-three yuan per month.

But if you still can't get 2,000 kilograms of grain in two months, your position will be downgraded by one level for every additional month. If you still haven't gotten 2,000 kilograms of grain in more than four months, then you should be able to realize that you may not be suitable for the job in the purchasing department.

During the period before you are officially hired, you will be paid the lowest-level clerk's monthly salary, which is the level of level 30, 23 yuan a month. As for how to raise it later, one is time, and the other is personal performance. What do you think, Xiao Xu, do you have confidence?"

Zhou Zhenghua was not like the previous two leaders of higher rank. He talked directly about the hard stuff, which was to work as a clerk in the purchasing department. It was very important to get a regular job. Although it was not like the three-year apprenticeship of a worker and then take an exam, the pressure was not small. Two thousand kilograms of food in two months meant an average of thirty-four kilograms of food a day.

Although it doesn't sound like much, you may not be able to buy any food if you go to the countryside to purchase food. A few dozen kilograms of food, or thirty-four kilograms of food, is enough food for one person for a month, no, even two months.

In some rural areas, people may not even have two taels of grain a day, which means they only have six kilograms of grain a month. Thirty-four kilograms of grain is the monthly food ration for a family of five. How could they possibly give it to you?

Moreover, now that rural areas are like big canteens, it is even more difficult to get food.

"Have confidence."

Although it sounds quite difficult, Xu Dongsheng was not that worried. He nodded firmly to indicate that he had no problem.

“Okay, I just put pressure on you, but I also have to tell you the benefits of our buyers.

Our buyers don't need to show up on duty. As long as you have the ability, you just need to come to take the task on Monday morning every week and settle the task before Sunday. It doesn't matter if you don't come for a week in the middle.

In addition, everyone in our purchasing department will be equipped with a Fei Ge bicycle. You only need to pay five dollars a month for the vehicle fee, and the bicycle will be yours after two years. However, if the bicycle breaks down in the middle of the journey, you will need to repair it yourself.

As for other hidden benefits, it depends on you to discover them.

Okay, your report is successful. You can walk around the steel mill by yourself later and get familiar with the factory environment before going back. The day after tomorrow morning, report to the purchasing department on time to get your work permit and bicycle. "

Section Chief Zhou looked at Xu Dongsheng's high morale and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, these days, everyone seems to be full of energy and naturally all the same. So he didn't look at Xu Dongsheng differently just because he was handsome or had a good temperament.

After telling Xu Dongsheng the benefits of being a buyer, he let him go back. Xu Dongsheng thanked him, left the purchasing department, and walked around the factory.
