Seeing Man Cheng coming in in a hurry, Yao Yuan couldn't help but feel angry: "If you don't learn from a good person, how can you learn a stinky thing? What's the point of selling it blindly? Tell me about the good and bad things!"
Mancheng chuckled: "Hey, I got the car certificate! From now on, I will be an official driver!"
As he spoke, he raised his head proudly.
Yao Yuan pointed at the room with his finger: "Whoever here doesn't have a car, I think you are the stupidest. You have to make up the exam. You have embarrassed the company, you know? What is there to be happy about? Tell me quickly, what is the bad thing?"
The joy in the city was dampened by Yao Yuan's words, and his face was a little unhappy: "Those meat dealers said that there is swine fever, and they can't supply tomorrow's goods!"
Oops, this is a big deal. Dang Jianguo’s face suddenly became serious: “What?! Why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing earlier?!”
But there was no tension on Mancheng's face: "Old Ban, don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly."
Several retired cooks never cared about what Dang Jianguo was called "big brother", let alone "manager" or something like that. Instead, they followed the way they were called in the army and called Dang Jianguo "old squad leader" for short. "Old class".
"I suspect these butchers are holding back their bad intentions and want to join forces to raise prices for us!" Mancheng said bitterly.
"At first, Lao Si Mao said that there was swine fever in their village and they couldn't collect the goods. Even the slaughterhouse was shut down. I believed it. I also found a few dealers who had supplied us with goods before, but they all said the same thing. , and then I got a little panicked." Mancheng has learned the Pingcheng accent well now, except for the pronunciation of a few words, it is generally difficult to recognize his foreign accent.
"Then I thought something was wrong! Our Pingcheng city must be several hundred kilometers in radius. These dealers are from east to west, north and south. It is impossible for swine fever to spread over such a large area. If this happens, it will be a disaster, even if it is broadcast on TV If we don’t report it, the vegetable vendors and other suppliers who supply us all live in the suburbs, so it’s impossible that they haven’t heard of this!” Mancheng slowly analyzed it. Since the last time Mancheng was appointed as the person in charge of procurement, This country boy burst out with great enthusiasm for his work.
What is the position of purchasing? !
The company’s job responsibility system states very clearly that the purchaser belongs to the finance department, reports directly to the company’s head accountant, and is responsible for the procurement of original ingredients for the entire company!
Is this okay? !
In Mancheng's mind, purchasing is a key position in a store. If someone is not a close relative of the boss, it is impossible to be assigned to this position.
And he was the first to get together with Yao Yuan. Later, because his cooking skills were the worst, he was gradually excluded from the kitchen. Although Mancheng himself has been working very hard, he has lived in a different environment since he was a child. He has never seen many new things before, he has never even heard of them, and he cannot learn many things in the kitchen at all.
This has nothing to do with hard work or not. It is purely a cognitive gap. If you want to learn skills as well as others, you will need a lot of time to slowly polish them.
For this reason, Mancheng was particularly disappointed.
But Yao Yuan did not forget him after all, and actually handed over such an important position to Mancheng. The reason was that he had raised pigs before and was very familiar with the properties of food ingredients. This reason is simply nonsense.
Mancheng knew this very well. This was because Yao Yuan was nostalgic, and it also reflected that the two people in the company had the deepest friendship, and Yao Yuan trusted him the most!
For this reason, this young man from the countryside is grateful and works conscientiously in his new position.
Although I have been away from the kitchen since then, it is a pity to lose the skills I just learned.
Well, actually we don’t have any skills to lose. It’s not easy to make a living in the kitchen. Now we go in and out of the finance room with bright and clean windows. We are under the leadership of the revolutionary veteran cadre Manager Ma, and I have learned from Manager Ma. It seems to be taller.
Mancheng, which already has some business capabilities, will definitely not allow a group of suppliers to get in its way. After several rounds of games, it finally smoothed out the relationship between those suppliers and also smoothed the relationship with the group of suppliers who always liked to make trouble. The businessman governs me obediently.
Unexpectedly, people's revenge is coming.
Those who can go out to do business these days do not have fuel-efficient lamps, especially those who make a living by selling meat.
And the butcher "Old Si Mao" who supplies them to Hongqi Company is even more extraordinary. He can easily buy hundreds of thousands of goods for Hongqi Company, so this old Si Mao's net worth must be at least one million!
How could such a person really think highly of a small potato from the northwest countryside? It is even less likely that he will be manipulated by Mancheng casually.
Therefore, the so-called swine fever is just a means for him to join forces with several other meat dealers to put pressure on Mancheng. There are two goals: either to increase the price, or to sell out Mancheng.
If a meat shop owner cannot buy meat, or can only buy high-priced meat, it becomes a joke, and no one can let him continue to work.
Lao Si Mao definitely has the strength and can definitely do it.
The current market supply has not completely broken away from the dual-track system. In addition to the state's guaranteed supply, it must be supplemented by free market vendors.
It’s a joke, but it’s also true. When Pingcheng’s first self-employed restaurant opened a few years ago, when it first opened, the only meat on the menu was duck.
The reason is that on the one hand, the only meat that ordinary people can buy freely without relying on supply is duck. The market at this time is called a supply-side market, and it is a market where the supply side has the final say.
Although food stamps have been canceled for two years now, there are still two systems for commodities, one is the free market, and the other is the state-run supply and marketing cooperatives.
When it comes to the price of pork, there is a rare price inversion, that is, the price of the supply and marketing cooperative is higher than that of the free market.
It is said that the price of pork in supply and marketing cooperatives is subsidized by the government and should be sold cheaper, but it may be that from pig farms to slaughtering to cold storage to sales terminals, there are too many workers who need to be paid, and there are also too many retired workers who need to pay wages. Pension, right? Pork is expensive in state-owned stores, and it’s hard to explain why.
Moreover, there is another trouble when buying from state-owned channels. The cuts of meat used in braised pork shops are very different from those in ordinary retail. The supply and marketing cooperative will definitely not customize it for you according to your requirements.
Therefore, since its opening, Hongqi Company has been purchasing ingredients from private individuals.
Normally, it shouldn't be difficult to switch to another supplier if you lose an old man. However, the current situation is a bit special.
Butchers are a very special group. Like some animals, they have their own sense of territory.
Qianjiakou was conquered by Lao Si Mao and several other butchers in a bloody battle. After several years of operation, the market in Qianjiakou has long become their cornucopia and back garden. It is absolutely impossible to allow it to be reopened. There are other butchers involved.
Mancheng introduced the situation bit by bit, and Yao Yuan began to gnash his teeth: "Isn't it disgusting? This is bullying and domination! You didn't tell Lao Si Mao, if he dares to do this, I will arrest him at the police station! "
A hint of joking flashed across Mancheng's face: "Come on, Master Yao, he's already done this, what reason do you have to arrest him?"
Gao Yang slapped the table: "It's okay! Mancheng, you can ask other butchers to deliver the goods tomorrow. I'll be waiting at the door to see who dares to cause trouble. I won't pinch the shit out of him! He'll sell it all Damn it, don’t even look at who are the people in our Hongqi Company?!”
As he spoke, he punched twice in the air, his big fists making the wind.
Li Tie added leisurely on the side: "Tie Zi, you can handle it, you can fight it, right? Even if they make trouble, they won't do it in front of us. Besides, do you think if you make a move, Can that big black-faced man spare you?"
Gao Yang was speechless for a moment, Yao Yuan was also speechless for a moment, and everyone fell silent.
The current business environment is really good. I’ve heard of seafood guys getting killed in order to grab land. I didn’t expect that I would actually meet them. Nowadays, even a small braised meat shop can attract local butchers. Use various means.
Mancheng saw that everyone was a little silent, and quickly came up with a solution: "Don't worry, everyone, I have already found the claw mother, and the mother is at the Qianjiakou non-staple food store. I will get the goods from her in the next few days. Let’s smooth it out for a while, it won’t delay anything, and then I’ll continue to think of a solution. But the purchase price may be 10% higher than it is now.”
Yao Yuan felt a little proud in his heart. When he was the first to sell braised pork, he thought that he had to walk on two legs when purchasing goods. Don't let one of the suppliers take advantage of him. Now he actually used it.
This is called foresight and foresight!
Before he could express his position, he heard someone slamming the table. Dang Jianguo shouted loudly: "What are you thinking about in this city?! Is it pig manure? Why do you want it in my kitchen?" Use raw materials that are 10% more expensive? The price you purchased from a non-staple food store is 10% more expensive. I don’t know how much less my yield is? Tell me how many % of the profit margin is left?! You are so reckless with your purchase. Is that so? If you can do it, do it. If you can’t do it, get out of here!"
People with military backgrounds are outspoken, and so are the cooks in the kitchen, so it is inevitable to hear a few people cursing in the courtyard, but everyone is doing it for work, and no one will really take it seriously.
But it seems different now. Brother Dang is really angry. I have never seen him lose such a temper.
The position of the party eldest brother is the general manager. Of course, it is no problem to train a purchaser, but I seem to have heard someone say that it is required not to report beyond the level, let alone manage beyond the level. This is called modern management.
Shouldn't the procurement issue be managed by Manager Ma?
Even if the general manager feels there is a problem, he should report it to Manager Ma, right?
Everyone in the room was a little confused.
Mancheng was immediately stunned by the reprimand, and couldn't help but stand at attention: "Old class, what do you mean? I didn't tell you what I did, and I will change it!"
