The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Guan Boyong was thinking about another question: Is there any trick in the procurement?
In fact, they all understand that in the purchasing business, few people can stay clean after working in the mud for a long time.

There is no way. You have to insist on yourself today and you will insist on yourself tomorrow, but not necessarily the day after tomorrow.

And if you don’t accept cash, will you accept other gifts during festivals?
Over time, people's hearts tend to be fickle.

You can withstand the test at the beginning, but in this society where personal connections are important, not many people can always withstand the test.

As the purchasing manager of Xuemeng Food Factory, can Xiang Zhengyan stand the test?

Guan Boyong was uncertain, and Wang Zhifeng was even more uncertain.

Even Guan Boyong, who was in sales, and Wang Zhifeng, who was in human resources, also faced many temptations.

Thinking of this, both Guan Boyong and Wang Zhifeng recalled Cao Shujie's attitude during the meeting that day, and felt that they had solved the mystery.

The three of them drank until the end, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

Wang Zhifeng's advice to Xiang Zhengyan was to talk to his boss in person and solve any problems he had.

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 the person involved, Xiang Zhengyan must face this matter.

After the party, the three of them went back to their respective homes.

However, halfway through his journey, Guan Boyong called Wang Zhifeng again and asked him to find another place to talk.

In a small teahouse in Qingshi Town, the two of them gathered together again, brewed a pot of tea, ordered two plates of snacks, and ate slowly to kill time.

Guan Boyong took the initiative to tell Wang Zhifeng about his previous guess.

"Old Wang, to be honest, I always feel like something is not right." Guan Boyong said.

"Tell me about it." Wang Zhifeng said.

Guan Boyong told them, "I think there might be a big problem in the purchasing department. Do you believe it, Lao Wang?"

Wang Zhifeng definitely believed it. In fact, based on some recent events in the company, Wang Zhifeng realized that there was a problem.

He felt that Xiang Zhengyan had not told the truth during the meal just now and had concealed many key points.

"Old Xiang must be hiding a big problem," said Wang Zhifeng.

They all entered the company at the same time and worked together during that period. They still have some feelings for each other, but these feelings are not strong.

Besides, if something went wrong as they guessed, it would definitely not be a simple matter. The fact that everything seemed calm at the moment made them even more worried. They wondered if this was just the calm before the storm.

"If I'm not mistaken, the boss must have a backup plan." Guan Boyong said.

As the person who founded Xuemeng Food Factory and brought it to where it is today, he never thought that Cao Shujie was a very kind person.

There is a saying that goes, "A kind army cannot be commanded."

Guan Boyong looked at Wang Zhifeng and suddenly said, "Manager Wang, you will be busy from now on."

……

The sea was calm for two consecutive days, as if nothing had happened.

The boss's assistant He Ruijia sent a notice to all departments, stating that a temporary purchase plan for commonly used consumables for the first quarter of 2018 would be submitted this month, and that the purpose and quantity of the consumables must be clearly stated in the submitted plan, and that all departments were required to keep records of receipt.

After this notice was issued, most people did not 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, and the financial manager Hu Youcai.

Unlike others, Cao Shujie met with Hu Youcai alone and assigned a task to him.

Check the accounts!

Hu Youcai didn't understand why his boss asked him to do this, but when he saw the email notification, Hu Youcai seemed to understand something.

But Hu Youcai did not say anything. He did not tell anyone about the job assigned to him by his boss. He just did his work quietly.

In order to avoid publicizing this matter, Hu Youcai did not assign the task to other employees, but did it himself.

This is due to the company's perfect process. Every purchase of goods has a clear record and the relevant records are kept in great detail.

This way, there will be documentation available.

As the end of the year approaches, there is more work to do at Xuemeng Food Factory.

Several projects within the company have also been completed one after another.

Two newly built dormitories, the second factory's laboratory building, and the production workshop, and a new office building were built at the second factory.

All this indicates that Xuemeng Food Factory seems to be entering a brighter future.

Amid the cheers, the red confetti from the firecrackers flew everywhere, like dancing butterflies, making people's hearts soar to the sky.
After several major projects were completed and accepted, Xuemeng Food Factory also held a celebration.

At the celebration banquet, managers of each department drank with their own team members. Cao Shujie also raised his glass and toasted with all the departments. Especially when drinking with Fu Xianghui and Tong Jiayi, Cao Shujie specifically asked Tong Jiayi to clink glasses and said, "You drink, I'll do whatever I want."

God, he's so casual!

Tong Jiayi complained about Cao Shujie a lot in his heart.

But he didn't dare say it out loud, and watched Cao Shujie drink about 1/4 of it.

The others didn't know the inside story and were still making a fuss, hoping that Tong Jiayi would hurry up and finish his drink.

Only Fu Xianghui felt something was unusual and looked at Cao Shujie and Tong Jiayi frequently.

He had heard Tong Jiayi talk about going to Cao Shujie's house for dinner.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that the boss is "taking revenge on personal grudges", and Fu Xianghui is still wondering why Tong Jiayi is so unlucky.

But there was no way, he could do nothing to help.

Giving Tong Jiayi an encouraging look, Fu Xianghui drank half a cup with him, which was very considerate.

What can Tong Jiayi do?
In full view of everyone, he still finished the glass of wine.

Cao Shujie picked up the wine glass and went to drink with others again. No one thought about what was different about the drinking just now?
After Cao Shujie left, Fu Xianghui asked Tong Jiayi: "Brother Tong, didn't you say you went to the boss's house? What happened just now?"

"He's been trying to get me a drink." Tong Jiayi understood that, but after drinking this glass of wine, he felt his tongue was a little big, and it was a little numb when he opened his mouth to speak.

I'm really speechless!
……

After finishing the meal, Cao Shujie went back to Caojiazhuang and held a "family banquet" with all the villagers.

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, all the people belonging to Caojiazhuang get together to have a reunion dinner.

More than 1000 people from the village gathered together to have fun, and the lively scene is unforgettable.

In the past, there wasn’t even a place to eat, but now it’s different. The large conference room is packed and there’s not enough space. So the men simply sit in the yard since they are strong and can resist the cold.

As the leader of Caojiazhuang, the village party secretary and village director of Caojiazhuang, Cao Shujie is definitely involved in such scenes.

And he himself is the initiator of this activity.

This year's banquet is somewhat different from the previous two years. This year, the Agricultural Planting Cooperative and the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative both received dividends, so everyone has more money in their hands, and the quality of the food at the banquet has obviously gone up two levels.

They celebrate for themselves and also for a good harvest next year.

For big guys, they can't manage things too far away, they just need to take care of their own little piece of land.

So many people felt that the year 2018 came a little too hastily, as if it was coming quietly, but in the first month of the new year, someone who was lurking in the dark fired a cold shot.

When many people were not prepared, Trump's team announced that it would take global safeguard measures on imported large washing machines and photovoltaic products for a period of 4 and 3 years respectively, and impose tariffs of up to 30% and 50% respectively.

After this news was transmitted from the other side of the ocean in various forms, many people who were originally immersed in the joy of the upcoming New Year were caught off guard and were all stunned.

At the same time, various "rumors" were also spread privately, which made people feel a little incomprehensible.

However, these rumors still cast a shadow on people's hearts.

For a time, not only the products of these two industries were in turmoil, but other industries also followed suit.

There is a feeling that one move can affect the whole body.

But this is just the beginning, and some people still think that they are worrying too much and it has nothing to do with them.

But Cao Shujie knew that this was indeed just the beginning, and what would happen next would be very uncomfortable.

He once again convened a meeting of all department managers and above in the company. This time at the meeting, Cao Shujie asked each department to think about the problem based on the most serious scenario. 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 deal with these problems?

Wang Zhifeng and Shi Jingxiu in the crowd immediately thought of the time when they went to Cao Shujie to report their annual plan last year. Cao Shujie mentioned this matter at that time, and they thought that their boss was worrying too much.

However, when they saw the news from the other side of the ocean about the tax increase on "large washing machines and photovoltaic products", they both felt heavy-hearted.

They don't know how their boss could have predicted it in advance, but facts speak louder than words, and a war without gunpowder may break out at any time.

"Manager Shi, what do you think?" Wang Zhifeng asked her in a low voice.

His heart was heavy.

Shi Jingxiu frowned and thought. She actually had some plans, but she had not expected the situation to be so serious. Now it seems that she had not considered it enough.

"This matter is quite troublesome, and judging from the current situation, there should be other targeted measures in the future. This year may be very difficult," said Shi Jingxiu.

Wang Zhifeng nodded.

The key is that it’s only the beginning of the year, and it feels like a bad start. How should we get through the rest of the year? (End of this chapter)
