Era: Start as a buyer

In about ten minutes, we arrived at the machinery factory. When members of the security department in the guard room of the machinery factory saw the engineer Dai Tiande, they immediately stepped forward to say hello and the iron door opened.

Dai Tiande explained to the security guard, but a distant nephew came to work to report. There was no need to explain based on his identity, but Luo Cheng was a stranger after all, and Dai Tiande didn't want any privileges.

After saying hello, the two entered the factory and first found a place to park their bicycles. If you join the company normally, you would go to the Human Resources Department, but if you go directly to the Human Resources Department, why would you ask Dai Tiande to do it? So Dai Tiande went directly to the factory director. In front of the factory director, Dai Tiande showed Luo Cheng's letter of introduction to him.

Then the factory director called the head of the personnel department over. Without telling the head of the personnel department the reason, he just asked which departments in the factory were currently short of people for general positions.

The head of the Human Resources Department understood it as soon as he heard the words, and even said it directly. It's obvious that someone needs to be placed, and the department has not been designated to ask this question.

Workshop operator apprentice, mechanic apprentice, welder, electrician, sheet metal worker~~, if the workshop doesn't like it. The Propaganda Department, Security Department, Medical Office, Canteen, and Logistics Department are in charge of warehouses, deployment, and even purchasers.

Although there are just one machine repair shop department, various work contents can be subdivided into one department.

Luo Cheng was a little confused when he heard that there were so many types of work, but the human resources department knew how to be a good person. When he met the factory director and Dai Gong (Engineer's abbreviation), he seemed to be letting the young people in front of him choose. I directly asked people to get some job information sheets to see what types of jobs are generally done, so that I can make better choices.

Luo Cheng took the information form and looked at it carefully, analyzing it in his heart. Those jobs that require hardship but appear to have potential should be eliminated directly, such as various apprenticeships. After learning skills, they will be assessed and rated in the future. Senior workers can earn a lot of money a month.

But Luo Cheng is not short of food and drink, so he has to choose something easy. The Propaganda Department is relatively relaxed, but there are cultural requirements. You must be able to read and write announcements. In the security department, you don't have to do much work, but you do have to work night shifts sometimes, and the working hours are longer than those of workers.

Not to mention the infirmary, even if you don't know how to see a doctor, you still need to be able to bandage and give injections like a nurse. In the canteen, if you don't know how to cook, you can only work as an apprentice. The logistics department has many categories, and those who manage warehouses may seem simple, but they also need to be able to write and take notes. When someone comes to ask for something, you, the person in charge of the warehouse, don’t even know where it is.

There is also deployment work, responsible for the maintenance of some off-site machinery. Finally, Luo Cheng's eyes rested on the buyer.

There are many types of buyers. One is the purchase of mechanical parts and materials, which may require business trips. One is the procurement of employee welfare, such as work clothes and gloves, which are distributed to each employee. The warehouse has stock, but every one or two years I have to go to the garment factory to order some. There are also quotas for this. You don’t just buy as much as you want, but you have to get the employee list to order.

Work clothes and gloves are a must, just for running errands. It is truly a welfare product purchase. Daily necessities and food are both welfare products. For example, soap, matches, coal stamps, cloth and cloth stamps, and even shit stamps, etc., are all included in the purchase scope. Not to mention food, which can only be eaten and used as welfare. Even if you can buy dozens of tons of sweet potatoes, which are considered miscellaneous grains, everyone will be happy. Even if it is rice bran used to feed chickens, ducks and pigs, it is still needed if the amount is large.

As for the food perk that excites workers, it's meat. Whoever can get meat beyond the quota will be thanked by the whole factory. Moreover, buyers of daily necessities and food have a high degree of freedom as long as they report to their supervisor. Especially if you can get good things, you can go out every day.

The more I look at this position, the more it seems like it was tailor-made for me. As long as it works well and with this identity, I can bring something from the future time and space into my own era.

When the time comes to get a few hundred kilograms of pork, people will see that he is a buyer at a machinery factory. Their first impression will be that he is capable of purchasing pork, rather than wondering where he got the meat. Of course, the machinery factory has to make up a reasonable source of supply.

Besides, Luo Cheng doesn't need to be in a hurry to show off. There's no reason why he has to buy so many good things as soon as he becomes a buyer. Moreover, he found out through future time and space that drought would occur in the next three years, causing the roots of bark and grass to be eaten away. At that time, let alone meat, just getting something edible would be regarded as a very capable person.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that being a buyer in the logistics department was the most suitable choice. Besides, aside from the fact that he had a future, he also had reasons to choose to be a buyer.

Therefore, in front of the three people, Luo Cheng said that he thought of the buyer directly and gave the reason. He basically knows all the hunters in Longjin Town, and with the current collective policy in the countryside, he can go back to the town to organize the hunters to go hunting in the mountains and buy them when the time comes.

Not only in his town, there are actually some connections between hunters in other places, so you can give it a try. All the ones where he wanted to be a buyer and go to the villages and towns to buy supplies.

The other three people did not expect that Luo Cheng would choose a job as a buyer, and it was still a job in the countryside. You must know that this is the job that no one wants to do among buyers.

The reason is very simple. The factory cannot give tickets for purchasing things. Although the price has increased to a certain extent, it is certainly not cost-effective for anyone to sell it on the black market. But if the price is too high, even if the factory can afford it, it won't be able to pay it. If someone reports it, it will directly disrupt market prices, and even the factory director can't bear it.

When the simultaneous use of money and bills was implemented, there were factors that suppressed some people from raising prices. Even after collectivization was implemented in rural areas this year, private-to-private transactions were no longer allowed.

However, transactions can be conducted privately to the public or from public to the public. For example, if you raise a pig, you can sell it collectively to a local unit or factory, but you cannot sell it to an individual yourself. The male-to-male relationship is even simpler. Even if Luo Cheng goes to the villages and towns on behalf of the machinery factory to collect prey, it is considered male-to-male.

Because now there is a collective system, the prey caught in the mountains also belongs to the collective, and the collective belongs to the public. Then organize the hunters to hunt some prey, and Luo Cheng will give the purchase money to the commune, which is considered a business-to-business relationship.

Even if Luo Cheng has the status of a buyer, buying things from individuals is considered a business-to-private affair, which is also allowed. For example, if you go to someone's home to collect eggs from chickens, it also represents a factory. If Luo Cheng were not a buyer, he would not be able to collect it.

But the buyer in the countryside has a disadvantage, that is, he doesn't have a ticket to buy things, he can only give money. Money is not available in the black market, and many people do not sell to buyers even if they have something.

Let's put it this way, let alone the prey in the mountains, if you can buy hundreds of kilograms of eggs a month, you are considered a capable person.
