Chapter 251 Yuan Zhi's Doubts
With Li Qin's introduction, Yuan Zhi basically opened up purchasing channels in Huangjia Village.
As for whether Yuan Zhi will be able to purchase anything here in the future, that depends on his own abilities.
Li Qin couldn't help the other party with this; Yuan Zhi had to rely on himself.
After exchanging pleasantries with the village chief, Li Qin immediately got down to business:
"Village chief, I brought Yuan Zhi to our village this time to see if we can buy some things to take back with us."
Li Qin looked at the village chief, his eyes full of sincerity, and said:
"Just like before, as long as there are no quality issues, I will still purchase at the highest price and will never let the villagers suffer losses."
The village chief believed Li Qin's words.
This wasn't Li Qin's first time coming to their village to make purchases.
In the past, the prices offered were always very high whenever we made purchases.
However, at this moment, a look of helplessness appeared on the village chief's face;
He sighed first, then said softly:
"Xiao Li, purchasing agents have been coming to our village to buy things from time to time this month, and now the villagers probably don't have much left."
The village chief expected Li Qin to show a strange expression after he said this.
However, to his surprise, Li Qin's smile did not change at all after hearing his words.
Li Qin spoke in a steady tone:
"It's okay. It would be best if we could receive something, but it's alright if we can't."
Hearing Li Qin say this, the village chief was immediately relieved.
Not long after, the village loudspeaker blared.
Suddenly, everyone in the village knew that the steel mill's purchasing agent had arrived.
Anyone with surplus supplies at home who wanted to exchange them for money would bring those supplies to the village chief's house.
This saved Li Qin from having to collect supplies from each household individually.
Of course, this is because Li Qin had already established a certain foundation in Huangjia Village, which enabled him to enjoy such treatment.
Ordinary purchasing staff do not enjoy this benefit.
Although Huangjia Village has been thoroughly emptied by many purchasing agents this month, the villagers still have some stock left.
After hearing the announcement over the loudspeaker that Li Qin was the person who came to make the purchase, almost everyone who had extra items brought them along.
It could be some dried goods, a few eggs, or dried wild game...
Although each villager brought only a small amount of goods, the total amount added up to several kilograms of dried goods and two or three kilograms of eggs.
In the end, they even managed to collect three catties of dried wild game.
Li Qin kept his word. As long as the quality of the goods brought by the villagers was not a problem, Li Qin would purchase them at the highest price within the stipulated range.
As a result, almost every villager who brought something left with a smile on their face.
When Li Qin was making the purchases, Yuan Zhi followed behind him the whole time to help him.
If Li Qin gave any instructions, Yuan Zhi would do his best to carry them out.
Throughout the entire process, Yuan Zhi never asked Li Qin for the reason, even when something happened or he didn't understand.
He kept it all in his heart.
Yuan Zhi knew very well that this was a rare opportunity, and what he should do now was to observe more, listen more, learn more, and speak less.
Even if there are problems, Li Qin will wait until after the procurement is completed and when he has time to consult with them.
Li Qin didn't care about these overt channels, so he didn't hide anything when making purchases.
Instead, they presented everything completely to Yuan Zhi, hoping that the other party could learn more.
During the procurement process, Li Qin also devoted some attention to Yuan Zhi.
Seeing that the other person had been observing and learning diligently, Li Qin didn't say anything, but a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
After completing the purchase, Li Qin declined the village chief's offer to stay, and then pushed his bicycle, taking Yuan Zhi with him, and left Huangjia Village.
After they had completely left Huangjia Village, Li Qin said to Yuan Zhi beside him:
"So, how was it? After this round of purchasing, do you have a better understanding of the purchasing agent's job? Is there anything you don't understand?"
Upon hearing his words, Yuan Zhi did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment.
A thoughtful look flashed across his face.
After a while, Yuan Zhicai spoke:
"After watching Brother Li's purchasing process, I now have some basic ideas about the work of a purchasing agent, but I still need to continue learning."
Although Li Qin had not held anything back at all and had shown everything to Yuan Zhi.
However, Yuan Zhi did not think that witnessing it once was enough to completely master the procurement work.
If I could watch it a few more times, that would be much better.
Li Qin didn't know if Yuan Zhi was being modest or something else.
However, he still admired Yuan Zhi's spirit.
"Brother Li, I'm a little curious," Yuan Zhi continued.
Before I joined the purchasing department, I had heard people talk about some unspoken rules in the purchasing work:
It is said that by taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase goods in rural areas, one can profit from the price differences.
But Brother Li, you're always buying within the stipulated range at the highest price. Doesn't that mean you're not making any profit?
At this moment, Yuan Zhi looked at Li Qin with some hesitation in his eyes.
This doubt already existed when he saw the purchase price offered by Li Qin.
He was initially hesitant about whether or not to ask.
After all, this doesn't seem like something that can be discussed openly.
This question had been troubling Yuan Zhi, and since Li Qin seemed quite approachable, he couldn't help but ask.
When Li Qin heard this question, the smile on his face suddenly vanished.
He first gave Yuan Zhi a deep look, then said:
There are actually several reasons why I offer the highest price when purchasing;
Firstly, I live alone, so I'm the type of person who only needs to feed myself. My salary as a full-time purchasing agent is enough for me to live comfortably.
Therefore, I don't need to acquire money through such means.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a look of understanding flashed across Yuan Zhi's face.
After a brief pause, Li Qin continued:
"The second point is that there are quite a few purchasing agents in Beijing, but the number of nearby villages is limited. In other words, the amount of supplies that can be purchased is actually limited."
As a newly hired purchasing agent, I need to use some methods to get a certain amount of supplies from the other purchasing agents.
The most direct and effective way is to let the villagers know that they can get more benefits by giving me their goods, and then the villagers will naturally be willing to hand over their supplies to me.
That's how I was able to establish myself in these villages and even have a relatively stable income from supplies each month.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi immediately thought of himself.
He was also a newly hired purchasing agent, and even one who hadn't been officially hired yet.
Even with Wang Dawei's help, he still needs to complete the purchasing department's purchasing tasks if he wants to be promoted to a permanent position.
Only in this way can things be presented in a respectable manner, and only then can Wang Dawei make his move.
To accomplish the tasks assigned by the purchasing department, a stable purchasing channel is required.
From this perspective, he can simply copy and use Li Qin's method.
