The Great Era of Siheyuan

Li Huaide took him directly downstairs. People on the street looked at Li Wenqiang who was being led by Li Huaide, and they all showed curious expressions on their faces.

The two walked all the way to the Personnel Department, and Li Huaide pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hello, director!"

"Hello, director!"

……

When the people in the room saw who was coming, they hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"Don't be so polite. This young man will be our factory's purchasing agent from now on. Please help him with the employment process now."

"Okay, I'll do it right away! Comrade, please fill in the information!"

A man nodded and said with a smile.

There was no such nonsense as "there are enough quotas" or "who he is". He was brought here by the factory director. He should think he is a capable pig and a pig with connections. What the leader does has nothing to do with a small clerk like him.

"sorry to bother you!"

Li Wenqiang made some casual pleasantries, then took his employment registration form and started filling it out.

The man from the personnel department was not idle either. While he was filling out the information, he picked up a work ID and filled it out himself, stamping and signing where necessary.

After Li Wenqiang filled in the information, he took over and supplemented it. In less than five minutes, Li Wenqiang officially became the new buyer of the steel mill.

"We are colleagues from now on. Please keep this work permit. If you lose it by accident, you can come to me anytime to get a replacement."

The man from the personnel department said with a smile, a little flattering on his face. The person who could be brought here by the factory director must be extraordinary.

"OK, thanks!"

Li Wenqiang responded casually, not caring at all about his flattery.

We are all not on the same level, so talking too much is a complete waste of time.

"It's time for lunch. How about staying for lunch? I can introduce you to some people."

Li Huaide's voice came from the door. It turned out that he had been standing at the door and had not left. Now that the matter had been done, he wanted to invite Li Wenqiang to meet the people on his side.

In the future, when Li Wenqiang does purchasing, he will inevitably have to deal with the logistics department, and these are his people. Getting to know them today will make things easier in the future.

Li Wenqiang naturally knew what he meant. He smiled and agreed directly.

"Then I'll trouble Director Li!"

The group arrived at the canteen of the steel mill, where many people were already eating. There was a long queue in front, and everyone was waiting for their food.

I took a look at what was in their bowls. It was the pumpkin that I sold them. I could just cook it into soup and pour it over rice or dip it in steamed buns. It was sweet and delicious.

Passing by the food window, Li Wenqiang saw from afar Sha Zhu sitting at the back, sticking his head out of the window and drinking tea leisurely. He seemed to be living a pretty comfortable life.

Li Huaide took Li Wenqiang straight to a table in the corner where several people were already sitting.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Li Wenqiang, our factory's new purchasing agent. Please take good care of him in the future."

Li Huaide said with a smile.

"It should, it should!"

Several people at the table quickly stood up and said with a smile.

Several people looked at Li Wenqiang with confusion, wondering why the factory manager wanted to introduce a newly hired buyer to them. Was he someone's relative?

"Hello there!"

"Hello there!"

Li Wenqiang smiled and exchanged pleasantries with everyone.

"Comrade Wen Qiang, these people are the backbone of our factory's logistics department. If you have any problems in the future, just look for them. This is Wang Dawei, the head of the logistics department, Wang Jianjun, the head of the security department, Qian Fuguo, the head of the production department, and Zhang Xuewen, the head of the personnel department..."

Li Huaide then introduced other people.

Everyone stood up and greeted Li Wenqiang, and Li Wenqiang responded politely, looking at them carefully.

Wang Dawei was a chubby middle-aged man who looked like a ball. He seemed to be well-off and was probably Li Huaide's confidant. Wang Jianjun was tall and strong, and he looked very strong. He was a gatekeeper. The others were all old scholars wearing glasses and had a cunning look in their eyes from time to time. They were probably not very smart minions.

This was their first impression of Li Wenqiang, and he would have to observe how they would turn out in the future. However, he obviously had no intention of making close friends with them, and just wanted to fool around with them to save face. He earned thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan a day outside, so he had no intention of scheming with them.

Li Huaide smiled and said, "Don't stand anymore, sit down and eat."

Everyone sat down and started to eat. During the meal, Wang Dawei, the head of the logistics department, talked with Li Wenqiang about some things related to factory procurement and also introduced some precautions to Li Wenqiang.

Li Wenqiang pretended to listen seriously and nodded from time to time. These were experiences and knowledge that would be useful in his future work, but there was one thing he didn't understand: he was not an ordinary buyer at all.

After lunch, Li Huaide said to Li Wenqiang.

"Wen Qiang, follow them this afternoon to get familiar with the work environment and procedures."

"Okay, Director Li."

Li Wenqiang responded without refusing. No matter what, even if it was just a name, he had to get familiar with the working environment to avoid being clueless when the time came.

To be honest, he was also quite curious about what was inside.

Afterwards, Li Wenqiang followed Wang Dawei and started wandering around the factory.

Wang Dawei first took Li Wenqiang to the warehouse and introduced him to the storage and management regulations of various materials. Then he took him to the office of the purchasing department and explained to him some daily work processes and details.

As he spoke, Li Wenqiang nodded. The main point is that no matter what you say, I don’t care and I will give you a thumbs up.

Li Wenqiang spent the whole afternoon learning from Wang Dawei. He found that the job of a buyer seemed simple, but it was actually even simpler. There were not many things to pay attention to, and anyone could do it.

Of course, this is a bit exaggerated. You still need to know some math. It would be fun if you make a mistake in the calculation.

It’s similar to collecting scrap. As long as you have a bottom price and a purchase price in mind, and pay attention to the transportation loss and shelf life of the ingredients, it will be fine.

"That's basically it. It sounds a lot, but it's actually very simple. I forgot to take you there. That's the small warehouse in our cafeteria. The rice, flour, grain and oil we purchase are basically stored here. When leaders from our sister units come to entertain us, we get the food from here. I'll take you to have a look."

Wang Dawei continued to lead him to the cafeteria. They had just seen some places managed by the logistics department. The people in the office were idle and raised fish. In the warehouse, there was nothing but a small pile of grains and broken rice to barely maintain operation.
