Chapter 21 The dean is the best supporter
Modern people will think that the "Purchasing Department" is a fat job.
You must know that there are many tricks in the purchasing process. Isn’t it the buyer who has the final say whether the purchase price of a pound of angelica is 1 yuan or 9 cents?
The buyer level will give you a slight increase, and the price can be increased. Once the purchase quantity is large, the extra money will be a huge sum of money.
Even if you give your buyer a 1-cent rebate for every kilogram of medicinal materials, you can still make the buyer happy and become the first 10,000-yuan household in the unit.
It would be a huge mistake to think so.
The era when buyers were getting fat would have to wait until the 1980s and 1990s. Who would want to be a government official at that time? Everyone wants to be a buyer in a company. It was definitely the golden age of buyers.
In the 1950s and 1960s, public-to-public transactions were less elaborate.
Of course, in private, it is still possible for you to go shopping locally and be treated to a meal or some agricultural and sideline products, and the quantity will not be large.
After all, if you don’t have enough to eat, how can you give you bags of rice and pig legs as gifts?
Besides, they don’t ask you for anything, it’s all a public matter and everyone can just do it business.
Even if this is good, protectionism is obvious in some places, or certain medicinal materials are in short supply locally. The cake is so big, and the local government does not welcome your overseas units to purchase it, which will affect the interests of their local supply and marketing cooperatives or hospitals.
Then the buyers had to be sneaky and negotiate like they did underground work back then.
Finally, there is a transportation issue.
There were no bank transfers in the 1950s, so dealing with drug farmers or rural cooperatives required cash.
The buyers carried thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in cash, and one or two buyers rushed to other places and traveled over the mountains and ridges. Do you really think that the local green forest heroes are dead?
There is no surveillance and it is an uninhabited place. Who knows whether the person you encounter is a human or a ghost?
Money is always attractive.
Okay, okay, even if everything goes well, you, the buyer, will either have to squeeze in a train or take a truck and travel hundreds or thousands of kilometers. Needless to say, the hardships along the way.
So being a buyer in the 1950s was definitely a hard job within a hard job.
Lin Sophora and Jin Caifeng were both internal employees of the hospital. Naturally, they knew what the buyer position was, so they deliberately did not want their youngest son to go.
But Lin Sanqi doesn't understand. Isn't this his "dream love post"?
You can often run outside without being restricted by the work unit, and you can be free. The key is in the process of purchasing Chinese medicinal materials in other places, and you can do a lot of things here.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly:
"Dean Shen, this is good. The job of a buyer is more suitable for me than the job in the library. I am willing to go to the Purchasing Department."
Jin Caifeng was anxious: "You kid, this buyer has a hard job. Didn't you see that no one in our hospital is going to the purchasing department?"
Lin Sophora did not dissuade him. He was very Buddhist anyway, and his children would love him as much as he wanted.
Dean Shen doesn't want to work anymore. He finally tricked a strong laborer into doing procurement, so he can't just run away.
"Comrade Jin Caifeng, I'm going to criticize you for this. Your ideological consciousness is not as high as that of Comrade Sanqi. Revolutionary work allows us to be picky? If you don't purchase it and he doesn't purchase it, then do we still need to run the hospital? Do you still want to serve the people?”
Jin Caifeng was speechless for a moment. He could think some words in his heart, but it would be different when he said them out of his mouth.
Instead, Lin Sophora flavescens nodded slightly:
"Okay, just listen to Dean Shen. Anyway, the fact that Qizai is still safe and sound after wandering outside for 10 years shows that he is smarter than we thought and more adaptable to this society. As parents, we must have confidence in him." Dean Shen Chang Yi slapped the table: "Old Lin is right. Being a parent is a burden. When the children grow up, it's time to let go."
Upon hearing this, Jin Caifeng could only sigh, holding her son's hand and not knowing what to do.
Dean Lin quickly wrote the letter of introduction and handed it to Lin Sanqi:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, in this way, you have finally found a home, and you can take the opportunity to rest for a while. After a month, you can take the letter of introduction to the organization and personnel department to report. From now on, we will be comrades in the trenches.
Although the work of the purchasing department is hard, it is very important to the hospital. Without the purchasing department, our doctors would not be able to prescribe medicines. This is equivalent to the fact that the soldiers on the battlefield have no bullets. How can we defeat the Japanese and Chiang Kai-shek? ”
Lin Sanqi received the letter of introduction, her heart was full of joy, she stood at attention and raised her chin:
"..." (What the protagonist said is not written anymore)
Shen Guomin, Lin Sophora, and Jin Caifeng were so frightened that their faces changed.
Only then did Lin Sanqi realize that this was not a university dormitory, and some jokes were not allowed, so the horse changed his face and said:
"Just kidding, I will definitely live up to the trust and trust of the organization. I will devote myself to work wholeheartedly, serve the people, contribute to the construction of the motherland, and make my own contribution!"
Dean Shen wiped his sweat and then forced a smile:
"Okay, okay, do a good job."
Coming out of the dean's office, Jin Caifeng tapped her son's forehead:
"Zai Zai, the work unit is different from other places. Some jokes can be made and some jokes cannot be made. Especially since you have been missing for 10 years. Don't cause unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, you will be in trouble and you won't be able to explain it. .”
Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly. This little episode also sounded the alarm for him. In this era, he must keep his mouth shut.
Thinking of the mouth, Lin Sanqi suddenly had an idea.
He went to the Procurement Department because he wanted to work freely and easily, but in this era, everything he did was as rigid as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, which would greatly affect his "traffic monetization" plan.
It seems that I need to find a supporter in the hospital. It is important to be able to tolerate my own misbehavior.
My cheap dad seems unreliable. Although he has good medical skills, his personality is too Buddhist and he is useless at critical moments.
The eldest brother and the second brother are too junior to be his protective umbrella.
Then Dean Shen in front of me seems to be a good candidate, and as the president, he is the biggest in the hospital and is the direct leader. There is no more suitable backer than this.
But if you have no family or relatives, how can you protect yourself?
Lin Sanqi thought for a while. Leaders in this era would definitely not accept money. Besides, having money was of no use. So in 1959, when people all over the country were hungry, what better gift could there be than food?
Lin Sanqi asked casually: "Dad, where is Dean Shen's hometown?"
"His hometown is in Suzhou."
There is heaven above, and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Intellectuals from the land of plenty, who are not gourmets of food, must be interested in this stutter.
Lin Sanqi had an idea in her mind. She didn't have any rice to eat at home, and the grain station didn't have to buy it. I think Dean Shen's family must be eating cornbread.
So if you carry a bag of rice to your door, is this considered a big gift?
Just do it...
