Guan Boyong was thinking about another question, is there anything fishy about procurement?
In fact, they all understand that after a long time in the purchasing business, few can survive the mud.
There is no other way. If you stick to yourself today, you will stick to yourself tomorrow. It may not be the day after tomorrow.
And if you give money, you won’t be charged. If you give other gifts during the holidays, will you be charged?
As time goes by, people's minds tend to wander easily.
You can still withstand the test at first, but in this society of interpersonal relationships, not many people can withstand the test all the time.
As the purchasing manager of Xuemeng Food Factory, Xiang Zhengyan can withstand the test?
Guan Boyong was unsure, and Wang Zhifeng was even more uncertain.
Even when Guan Boyong is in the sales position and Wang Zhifeng is in the personnel position, they also have many temptations.
Thinking about it this way, whether it was Guan Boyong or Wang Zhifeng, they thought of Cao Shujie's attitude during the meeting that day, and they felt that they had solved the mystery.
The three of them drank until the end, but they couldn't come up with a solution.
Wang Zhifeng suggested to Xiang Zhengyan that he should talk to his boss in person and solve any problems.
After all, the company's commonly used consumables still need to be purchased, and this matter cannot be stuck here.
Xiang Zhengyan also knows this truth, and as a party involved, Xiang Zhengyan must face this matter.
After the group broke up, the three of them went back to their respective homes.
However, when Guan Boyong was halfway there, he called Wang Zhifeng again and asked him to find another place to chat.
In a small teahouse in Qingshi Town, the two of them gathered together to make a pot of tea, order two plates of snacks, and eat slowly to kill time.
Guan Boyong took the initiative to tell Wang Zhifeng about his speculation just now.
"Old Wang, to be honest, I always feel something is wrong." Guan Boyong said.
"Tell me about it." Wang Zhifeng said.
Guan Boyong told them: "I think there may be a big problem in the purchasing department. Lao Wang, do you believe it or not?"
Wang Zhifeng must believe that, in fact, based on some recent events in the company, Wang Zhifeng realized that there was a problem.
He felt that during the meal just now, Xiang Zhengyan did not tell the truth and concealed many key points.
"Lao Xiang must be hiding a big problem." Wang Zhifeng said.
They both joined the company at the same time and worked hard together during that period. They still have some affection for each other, but this affection is not deep.
Besides, if something really went wrong as they suspected, it would definitely not be a simple matter. So the calm in front of them made the two of them even more worried. They wondered whether this was the calm before the storm.
"If I guess correctly, the boss must have a back-up plan," Guan Boyong said.
As the person who single-handedly founded Xuemeng Food Factory and led Xuemeng Food Factory to where it is today, he never thought that Cao Shujie was a very kind person.
There is a saying that goes like this: Compassion does not control soldiers.
Guan Boyong looked at Wang Zhifeng and suddenly said: "Manager Wang, you will be very busy next."
…
It was calm for two consecutive days, as if nothing had happened.
The boss's assistant He Ruijia sent a notice to all departments. The notice mentioned that the purchase plan for commonly used consumables for the first quarter of 2018 should be tentatively submitted this month, and the purpose and usage of the consumables must be stated in the submission plan.
All departments are required to keep records of collection.
After this notice was sent out, most people didn't think much about it.
However, a small number of people became suspicious when they saw this email notification.
For example, Guan Boyong, Wang Zhifeng or Shi Jingxiu, or financial manager Hu Youcai.
Unlike others, Cao Shujie approached Hu Youcai alone and arranged a task for him.
Check the accounts!
Hu Youcai didn't understand why his boss asked him to do this, but when he saw this email notification, Hu Youcai seemed to understand something.
But Hu Youcai didn't say anything. He didn't tell anyone about the work assigned to him by his boss, he just worked quietly.
In order to avoid publicizing this matter, Hu Youcai did not assign it to other employees, but took charge of it himself.
This is due to the company's perfect process. Every item purchased has a clear record, and the relevant records are very detailed.
This will make it well-documented.
As the end of the year approaches, Xuemeng Food Factory has more work.
Several projects within the company are also being delivered one after another.
Two newly built dormitories, the experimental building of the second factory, the production workshop, and the new office building built in the second factory.
All this indicates that Xuemeng Food Factory seems to be entering a more glorious future.
Amidst the cheers, the red confetti from the firecrackers were exploded and scattered in all directions, like dancing butterflies, making people's hearts soar into the sky.
After the acceptance of several major projects, Xuemeng Food Factory also celebrated.
At the celebration banquet, the managers of each department took their team members to drink. At this time, Cao Shujie also held a wine glass and toasted to each department.
Especially when he was drinking with Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi, Cao Shujie specifically asked Tong Jiayi to clink glasses and said, "You do it, I'm free to do it."
God is so free!
Tong Jiayi often complained about Cao Shujie in his heart.
But he didn't dare to say it, and watched as Cao Shujie drank about 1/4 of it.
The others didn't know the inside story and were still making noises, trying to get Tong Jiayi to finish the drink quickly.
Only Fu Xianghui felt a little strange and looked at Cao Shujie and Tong Jiayi frequently.
He had already heard from Tong Jiayi about going to Cao Shujie's house for dinner.
But looking at the current situation, the boss seems to be 'revenge', and Fu Xianghui is still thinking about why Tong Jiayi is so unlucky.
But there was nothing he could do, and he was helpless.
Giving Tong Jiayi an encouraging look, Fu Xianghui drank half a glass with him, which was very interesting.
What can Tong Jiayi do?
In full view of everyone, he still drank the glass of wine.
Cao Shujie took the wine glass and went to drink with others. No one thought about what was different when drinking just now?
After Cao Shujie left, Fu Xianghui asked Tong Jiayi: "Brother Tong, didn't you say you had been to the boss's house? What happened just now?"
"He always wanted to drink me a drink." Tong Jiayi also understood, but after drinking this glass of wine, he also felt that his tongue was a bit big, and he felt a little numb when he opened his mouth to speak.
I'm really speechless!
…
After finishing the meal, Cao Shujie returned to Caojiazhuang and held a "big banquet" with the whole village.
This is also a new collective activity that has emerged in their village in the past two years and involves everyone in the village.
On New Year's Day every year, everyone who belongs to Caojiazhuang gathers together to have a reunion dinner.
More than 1,000 people in the village gathered together to have fun. The lively scene was unforgettable.
In the past, there wasn't even a place to eat, but it's different now. The large conference room was so packed that we couldn't even sit apart, so the men might as well go sit in the courtyard. Anyway, they are strong and can withstand the cold.
Cao Shujie, as the leader of Caojiazhuang, the village party secretary and village director of Caojiazhuang, his participation in such a scene is definitely inevitable.
And he himself is the initiator of this activity.
This year's banquet is still a little different from the previous two years. This year, both the Agricultural Planting Cooperative and Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative have paid dividends. Everyone has more money, and the quality of the food at the banquet has obviously gone up two levels.
They celebrate not only for themselves, but also for a good harvest in the coming year.
For the big guys, they can't manage too far away, they just need to manage their own one-third of an acre.
So many people feel that 2018 has arrived in a hurry, as if it is coming quietly, but in the first month of the new year, someone who was secretly watching made a cold shot.
When many people were not prepared, Lao Te's team announced that it would adopt global safeguard measures for four and three years on imported large-scale washing machines and photovoltaic products, respectively, and impose tariffs of up to 30% and 50% respectively.
After this news spread through various forms from the other side of the distant ocean, many people who were still immersed in the joy of the upcoming New Year were caught off guard and were confused.
At the same time, various 'rumors' were also spread privately, which made people feel a bit incomprehensible.
But these rumors still cast a shadow on people's hearts.
For a time, not only the products of these two industries were turbulent, but other industries were also turbulent.
There is a feeling that one hair affects the whole body.
But this is just the beginning. Some people still feel that their worries are unfounded and have nothing to do with them.
But Cao Shujie knew that this was indeed the beginning, but what happened next would be very uncomfortable.
He once again convened a meeting with managers above the supervisor level from all departments in the company. This time at the meeting, Cao Shujie asked each department to think about the problem according to the most serious situation. What should Xuemeng Food Factory do if it encounters these problems?
The series of problems brought about by the 'trade war' will also affect the development of the domestic economy.
How should they face these problems?
Wang Zhifeng and Shi Jingxiu in the crowd immediately thought of the time they went to Cao Shujie to report the annual plan last year. Cao Shujie mentioned this matter at that time. At that time, they thought that the boss was worrying too much.
But when they saw the news from the other side of the ocean about tax increases on "large washing machines and photovoltaic products," the two of them felt heavy.
They don't know how their boss predicted it in advance, but facts speak louder than words, and a war without smoke is likely to start at any time.
"Manager Shi, what do you think?" Wang Zhifeng asked her in a low voice.
He felt very heavy.
Shi Jingxiu frowned and thought. She actually had some plans, but the situation was not as serious as she expected. Now it seems that she lacked consideration.
"This matter is quite troublesome, and judging from the current situation, there should be other targeted measures in the future. It will be very sad this year." Shi Jingxiu said.
Wang Zhifeng nodded.
The key point is that it’s just the beginning of the new year, and it feels like it’s off to a bad start. How should we get through the rest of the year? (End of this chapter)
