Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0583: Blocking is worse than Unblocking
Nan Yi asked He Ping to go to the department store together, both to buy things and to pave the way for something else.
What I bought was not a rare item, just a fountain pen, but a rather rare version, a Venus brand 50% pure gold pen produced in 1954, codenamed "Zuo Du".
When it comes to fountain pens, most people only know about Yingxiong, which is the most famous. However, when it comes to high-end domestic fountain pens, it has to be Jinxing, especially the 50% pure gold, and the versions that can be read left or right, generation after generation, are very popular among consumers.
Hearing that the department store had found some inventory, Nan Yi came over to do some shopping.
It is not expensive, it makes you look elegant others, and people who consider themselves cultured will be happy to receive it. The most important thing is the price, it is neither expensive nor cheap, so there is no pressure for both giving and receiving.
After walking out of the department store, Nan Yi said to He Ping, "Cashier He, do you have a dinner date? If not, I'll treat you to dinner at the French restaurant at the Great Wall Hotel. I have a large-denomination meal voucher in my hand. My wife and I probably can't finish it all by ourselves, so please help us finish it."
"This is not good. Will your wife have any objection?"
"It's okay. We're an old married couple. We're not having a candlelight dinner. I just feel bad that the meal voucher is about to expire."
"Haha, General Manager Nan, you are only a few years old, why are you talking about an old couple?" He Ping chuckled.
"You don't understand because you're not married. Once a couple has a child, most of their attention will be on the child, and the things between the couple will fade. An old couple doesn't mean they've been married for a long time, but a state of mind."
"Really?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on the person. Anyway, it's like this for me. My wife and I are just like friends now."
As they were talking, they got back into the car. The front wheels turned and the rear wheels followed. In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the Great Wall Hotel.
When he reached the entrance of the hotel, Nan Yi saw Liu Zhen standing next to the glass revolving door.
Nan Yi walked quickly to Liu Zhen's side, tucked Liu Zhen's scarf and said, "How long have you been here? Why don't you wait inside?"
"Just arrived, three minutes at most. Is that He Ping behind you?"
"Yes, let's not talk about it for now."
Nan Yi turned around and said to He Ping who was approaching quickly, "Cashier He, let me introduce you. This is my wife Liu Zhen, who works at the Universe Bank."
"Hello, Madam Liu, I'm He Ping."
"Haha, Sister He, don't call me Madam, just call me Liu Zhen." Liu Zhen smiled, took a step forward, and took He Ping's hand. "It's cold outside, let's go in first."
"Okay."
The two walked in hand in hand, with Nan Yi following closely behind.
In the next two hours, Nan Yi acted as a bystander and listener, watching the two women go from strangers to being as close as sisters, and making plans to go shopping together next time.
After returning to the old house and washing up, Nan Yi and the other person lay on the bed and whispered to each other.
"What do you think?"
"I think He Ping is quite simple and doesn't have any bad intentions."
"Yeah, that's pretty much what I think. Not too far, not too close. Just show some kindness. I don't have any intention of asking her to influence my opinion."
"I know. You don't need the scale to tilt for you. You just need it to stay balanced."
"Borrowing the power of the scale is like borrowing money at high interest rates. The interest is compounded every year, and you have to pay back three times the original amount. It is better not to borrow. I can build my business without taking shortcuts. I don't ask for openness, but only for not building dangerous walls."
"Wouldn't it be better to be frank?"
"Of course it's good. You are very open-minded and have a clear conscience. You can sleep like a dead pig every day. Forget about me. I will practice martial arts and talk well. I will have to fight with King Qin Guang even after I die. If I can beat him, I will fight. If I can't, I will talk to him."
"Hehe, if you can't win, is there any point in talking?"
"The mouth can not only be used to reason, but also to sing praises. My father and mother are not as dear as the King of Qin Guang..."
"Haha, even if King Qin Guang fools you, there's still the Ninth Palace King of Hell behind you. What are you going to do?"
"I'm not some big shot who needs ten devils to serve me. Just stay awake for a while. I don't know when my precious son will poop."
"No sleep, I want it."
When Nan Yi heard this, he sat up suddenly and said earnestly: "Comrade Xiao Liu, we still have a long life ahead of us. Don't live every day as if it were your last. You can't eat good things three times a day. You need to be moderate."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
"How about we sleep in separate rooms?"
Late at night, no one was talking, and the sound of clothes being pulled suddenly arose... Suddenly, a cry came from hell: "Power on the Third Biopharmaceutical Company, and the Sildenafil Project will be launched!"
…
Ding-dong, ding-dong, black particles fell into the can.
Nan Yi shook the bottle, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and poured out an estimated twenty grams.
He opened the stopper of the thermos and tested the water temperature. It was too hot. He left the bottle open and let it cool for a while before Nan Yi poured water into the can.
"My young master is only 11 years old, but he has ended up soaking wolfberries in a can. Alas, he just finished his confinement and can't afford to offend! It's a pity that Lao Ai was torn to pieces by a chariot. Otherwise, we could go to his tomb to see if there are any secret manuals left behind."
Gulp, gulp, Nan Yi drank up the water in the bottle before anyone came to his office, and then destroyed the body.
At 8:12, Nan Yi went to knock on Lin Deqing's office door.
After some greetings, Lin Deqing did not let Jiang Yuanchao, who worked in the same office with him, take action. Instead, he refilled Nan Yi's can of water himself.
No. 88 Yannanyuan has barely eight offices in total, with two chairmen and one general manager occupying three of them, and Lin Deqing occupying the largest one; the Finance Department, Planning Department, Transportation Department, and Personnel Department each have one office, and the remaining one is temporarily used to store sundries.
The Finance Department and the Personnel Department are not suitable to share an office with other departments. The Planning Department has more personnel planning, and as for the Transportation Department, no one is willing to share an office with them. The three assistants can only add a desk in the office of the leader they serve.
"Xiao Nan, yesterday you said you had some immature ideas about the purchasing department. Tell me what exactly they are." After refilling Nan Yi's water, Lin Deqing said.
"Director Lin, the purchasing department is a very important department. It is not only related to the operating costs of Yaqing, but also to the quality of goods in the two shopping malls of Yaqing. At the beginning, my idea was that the personnel of the purchasing department should be dispatched by the shareholders of our Genzhengmiaohong Company.
There is one thing to say, don't blame me for being too blunt, but in Yaqing Company, our shareholders have invested real money, and all the money spent is shareholders' money. When it comes to cost control, shareholders are more concerned than anyone else.
As for the government, I won’t say anything, but Director Lin should understand what I mean.”
Lin Deqing nodded calmly, "Indeed, although I don't want to admit it, Xiaonan, what you said is true. You said this was your initial thought, so what is your current thought? Has it changed?"
"There are some changes, and the call came only yesterday. After leaving your office yesterday, I saw that I still had time, so I thought of calling District Chief Min to report on the establishment of the Procurement Department and ask what the district had to say.
Secretary Chu answered the phone and told me that District Chief Min was not in the office, so I asked him to pass the message to District Chief Min.
Who knew that when I got home last night, Secretary Chu called me and asked me to take care of his brother in the future. Mr. Lin, what do you think Secretary Chu meant by this? "
Nan Yi's words were half true and half false. The two phone calls were real, but the active and passive relationship was false. In fact, Nan Yi gave Chu Fan a hint during yesterday's phone call, which led to the call he received in the evening.
No matter which company, the purchasing department is a sieve. Those who do purchasing have some benefits, such as rebates, gifts, food and drink, and at least one of them must be taken. Even if the purchaser is diligent and law-abiding, the suppliers who know how to do their job will give them some favors.
Can’t do it?
Buyers will take the initiative to call suppliers and say, "Hey, Mr. XX, our company is going to hold an end-of-year party. Please sponsor us."
The supplier has no choice but to sponsor, as the purchasing agent will directly deduct the money from the payment for the goods.
In cases like this, the order prices are suppressed very strictly, and the suppliers have no profit at all and cannot "behave themselves".
For those with higher profits, the means of operation are really varied.
Company A wants to purchase from Company B, but the contract is signed between Company A and Company C. As for who the beneficiary behind Company C is, you can just guess.
The buyer passed a message to a few people - money was short, so he had to sell Tang Bohu's "Chicken Pecking Rice"; the supplier pulled out the supply list and the calculator started beeping... Oh, the weather was getting cold, so it was just right, so he bought the painting for 180,000 yuan and brought it home to light a fire to warm himself up.
These two examples are relatively complicated operations. The simpler one is directly in the KTV room. Duang, the supplier puts a stack of money on the table and says, "The whole consumption will be paid by the buyer's son!"
This is too explicit. A more subtle approach would be to put it in a yellow envelope, a black plastic bag or something like that to block the alluring golden light and also to increase the imagination.
You can imagine that if ten million were placed directly in front of you, the temptation would definitely be greater than putting them in a box; but if there were only fifty, six, seven or eighty thousand, then it would be bulging in an envelope, and people would not be able to look directly at its brilliance, but would instead see a pile of them together.
Although you can guess the exact number of 10,000 after just a quick glance, you can't help but have associations in your mind - what if there are one or two missing or three or four more in this stack? Is this a new or old note? How thick is a 10,000 note that is 80% new? How thick is a 70% new note?
The most seductive thing is that she holds the Pipa with her face half covered. When doing that, Nan Yi always asks Liu Zhen to tie a No. 0.08 fishing line on her body .
"The Haidian District should be ready to send a purchasing section chief. In that case, we don't need to discuss it any further. Once the purchasing section chief is in place, we can discuss the candidate for deputy section chief together." Lin Deqing remained calm and collected.
"Well, since the section chief has been chosen, I will go back and make a suggestion to the shareholders. We don't need to appoint a deputy section chief. We can just send an ordinary purchaser.
If the company adopts my suggestion, you should worry about the selection of the deputy section chief, Director Lin. I need to take care of the land issues for the dormitory building in the next two days."
"There's no rush for this. Let's discuss it together after you're done."
"No, I don't know much about personnel matters. I'd better focus on business, which is my expertise." Nan Yi waved his hand and said.
"You, you." Lin Deqing nodded at Nan Yi and said reluctantly, "Okay, then I'll think about whether there is a suitable candidate. When I think of one, I'll call you over to discuss it."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my office."
"good."
As soon as he returned to the office, Nan Yi took out a document and started reading it.
Nan Yi had already decided yesterday on the positions of chief and deputy chief of the purchasing department, and he didn't want either one.
After the two shopping malls are completed, he will propose to set up a quality inspection department. The main function of this department is to check the quality of goods. If one unqualified product is found, they will get a bonus. The more unqualified products are found, the higher the bonus will be.
The purchasing department has set up KPI assessment. If an unqualified product is found, the relevant purchasing personnel will have points deducted. If the points are deducted to a failing level, they will be fired directly. If anyone dares to complain, the evidence will be collected to charge him with bribery.
The sieve of the purchasing department cannot be blocked. Instead of guarding against it strictly, it is better to learn from Dayu who controlled the flood and guide the flow.
As long as the defective rate of goods remains within a certain range and the cost does not exceed the warning line, we can turn a blind eye.
As for why Nan Yi didn't want the position of the head of the purchasing department to fall into Lin Deqing's hands, it was entirely because Nan Yi didn't want to see anything go wrong in the purchasing department. You know, once something goes wrong it will cause losses, and he would have a big share of the lost money.
After reading several documents, Nan Yi picked up the phone and called Yang Kaiyan, asking her to come to his office.
