Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 243

Two days later, near lunch time, the manager of the regional agricultural supplies company arrived in the county. Under the guidance of Shen Danrui, he immediately went to Dongfang Fertilizer Factory to discuss the sale of fertilizers with Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang invited him and Shen Danrui into the reception room, and brought Chen Xiaoen with him.

"Manager Tong, sit down."

Xu Jichang said hello.

"Hey, thank you, Director Xu."

The other party quickly said with a smile, and sat down next to Xu Jichang, but only half of his butt landed on the chair, and his attitude was very respectful.

Although he is the manager of a regional agricultural supplies company and is nominally higher in rank than Xu Jichang, he is the one begging Xu Jichang today.

Who is to say that chemical fertilizer is a scarce commodity, let alone fifteen tons at a time.

"Slow use."

At this time, Chen Xiaoen carried a thermos bottle and poured tea for everyone.

"Thank you."

Manager Tong held the tea cup with both hands, still smiling.

"Director Xu, I heard that your factory has a batch of fertilizer supply quotas this time, so I came over to ask you."

"Excuse me, what is the specific condition of this batch of fertilizer?"

After the polite words were over, Manager Tong asked Xu Jichang.

"This batch of fertilizers is a flexible sales indicator."

Xu Jichang leaned back in his chair, put one hand in his pocket and put the other on the armrest of the chair. He said with a relaxed expression, "It's an unplanned sales amount."

"Oh...that's it. What's the price?"

Manager Tong remained nervous and said politely.

It was not easy to get some fertilizer, and he was afraid that if something was not done well enough, the supply would fly away.

Xu Jichang moved his eyes to the window without looking at him.

Chen Xiaoen understood and took over the conversation according to the pre-arrangement: "42000 yuan per ton, only payment in advance is accepted. Transportation is your own responsibility."

42000?Isn’t the planned price thirty-five thousand?

After listening to Chen Xiaoen's statement, Manager Tong felt a little puzzled, but he still kept it in his heart and did not say it out loud.

"That's all fine. How long will it take for you to deliver?"

Manager Tong asked Xu Jichang.

42000, just 42000. Being able to get the goods is more important than anything else. You can put the price aside for now!
"Now you can."

Xu Jichang said calmly, "But there are still quite a lot of units looking for us. I'm wondering if we should even out some of the 15 tons."

"It wouldn't be good to give it all to you, right?"

Manager Tong quickly shook his head: "What's the matter?"

"As long as your organization is willing to supply us with 15 tons of chemical fertilizers, we will cover all of your agricultural products for one year starting from today."

"Guaranteed to be of high quality and low price, no matter how young or old you are."

Oh?
Are there any such benefits?It was an unexpected gain.

Xu Jichang raised his brows slightly and raised his lips: "Since Manager Tong is so polite, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."

"Let's do this. All 15 tons of fertilizer will be given to you. Just keep a low profile afterwards."

"Yeah, thank you, we promise to keep a low profile."

Manager Tong said hurriedly.

"Don't thank me too much. It was Dan Rui who told me that you were short of fertilizer, and that's why we had this deal today."

Xu Jichang raised his hand and pointed at Shen Danrui, who had been smiling silently.

Manager Tong woke up from a dream: "That's right, Comrade Shen Danrui has really made great contributions to the unit this time."

"I'll go back and discuss it with the deputy managers to see how to reward her appropriately."

Next to her, Shen Danrui felt very warm when she heard what Xu Jichang said: Sure enough, he remembers himself all the time.

However, she was still very polite on the surface: "I really don't need a leader. Jichang and I are high school classmates, and we found out about this through an occasional chat. Isn't it right that I report it to you?"

"No, no, you deserve a reward for your merits."

Manager Tong waved his hands quickly, then quickly turned to Xu Jichang, "Then... we've settled on selling fertilizers?"

"Yeah. Let's stay for a meal."

Xu Jichang got up and said.

He doesn't need to invite Manager Tong to this meal. After all, it's the other party who wants something from him.

But in line with the good relationship he had built over the years, Xu Jichang felt that he could still entertain him.

"No, no, I should treat you to a meal..."

Manager Tong waved his hand quickly.

From his perspective, a 15-ton chemical fertilizer gift package fell on his head, and the other party wanted to treat him to a meal?How embarrassing.

"Don't be polite, let's go."

Xu Jichang greeted, and Chen Xiaoen also started to persuade him.

Manager Tong stood up with an embarrassed look on his face and walked out to the cafeteria with the two of them.

Lunch was held in a small private room on the second floor of the cafeteria of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory, and Xu Jichang paid for it.

Because he felt that whether or not he had this meal would not affect his official duties, it was not appropriate to pay the factory's accounts. It would be better to pay privately.

The content of the meal is not complicated, just three simple dishes and one soup, which is enough to eat with the large Northeastern dishes.

No wine was served in the middle, because the other party had to go back after dinner, and he had to go to work in the afternoon.

The two had a very relaxed and pleasant conversation during the meal, chatting about each other's work and local customs.

In the middle, Manager Tong mentioned that their agricultural supplies company had introduced a batch of new iron-rod yams developed by the Agricultural Science Research Institute, but due to a lack of interest among the production teams, they had not been able to promote them.

"New yams planted? Where is the new one?"

Xu Jichang's thoughts moved and he looked at Manager Tong and said.

"The yield is large, five times that of previous varieties. It grows and harvests quickly, and the quality is excellent. It's just that everyone has an instinctive rejection of new things, so they keep it in the warehouse."

Manager Tong introduced in detail.

"Oh, then I'd like to buy a batch."

Xu Jichang said with a smile.

He wants to engage in farming in his hometown.The information provided by Manager Tong seemed to him like someone was giving him a pillow when he felt sleepy.

Manager Tong was shocked when he heard this and waved his hands quickly: "Why don't you buy it? I'll send someone to deliver it to you directly."

"No, I can't take advantage of it in vain. You tell me what the supply price is, and I'll pay it."

Xu Jichang shook his head.

Be soft on others.At the negotiation table, he can bargain with Manager Tong for the benefit of the public, but he will never take the opportunity to take advantage of himself.

Manager Tong still refused, and after a lot of pushing and shoving between the two parties, in the end he still couldn't match Xu Jichang's persistence.

For a total of 15 yuan, I bought ten acres of yam seedlings and the goods would be delivered tomorrow.

After seeing off Manager Tong, Xu Jichang looked at his figure and sighed silently in his heart: This meal was worth it!

……

The next day, the fertilizer payment from the regional agricultural input company arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the transport convoy also came.

The convoy was basically empty, with only the last car containing yam seedlings wrapped in quilts.

It's cold in winter, so the other side is obviously afraid that the yam seedlings will be frozen, so they do this carefully.

Xu Jichang collected the yam seedlings, transported them home and put them directly on the shelves in the space, preparing to hand them to Shunzi for sowing when the weather gets warm next year.

The 15 tons of fertilizer sold this time brought a total sales of 63 to Dongfang Fertilizer Factory.

In today's era, even for a large unit like Dongfang Fertilizer Factory, it is a considerable number.

This is because only part of the quota that is usually planned to be supplied is for trading, and part of it needs to be supported free of charge.It's not easy to see so much cash at once.Not to mention, regional agricultural supplies companies also contracted the supply of agricultural products.

"Boss, everyone in the factory is talking about flexible sales."

In the afternoon when the fertilizer loading was completed, Chen Xiaoen excitedly reported to Xu Jichanghui.

"Oh. What did everyone say?"

Xu Jichang was reading the newspaper on the table and asked without raising his head.

"They are all praising you for your ability and saying that you have solved a big problem for the factory."

"With the supplies provided by the regional agricultural supplies company and the Lianhua Township Commune, at least the people in our factory don't have to worry about food in the future."

Chen Xiaoen was happy for Xu Jichang from the bottom of his heart, "I think everyone must be very grateful to you now."

"Just be grateful, it's not a big deal."

Xu Jichang put down the newspaper and said casually, "The public is always forgetful."

Ah this...

Chen Xiaoen didn't expect that he would take the initiative to chat to death, and was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Leader, are you... unhappy with something in your heart?"

After a few seconds of silence, she asked cautiously.

"No, I'm not unhappy. The deal is done, and I'm very happy."

Xu Jichang said with a relaxed expression, "I just remembered something and expressed my feelings."

In fact, it was all before he traveled through time. Otherwise, his various experiences after traveling through time would not have been enough to have such an understanding.

"Oh, let me change you to a cup of tea."

Chen Xiaoen didn't know whether he should continue asking, so he simply walked up to Xu Jichang, picked up his tea cup, poured out the tea leaves and water, and made a new pot of tea.

Xu Jichang looked at Chen Xiaoen's graceful posture while making tea, and remained silent for a long time, thinking about something silently in his heart.

At this time, Chen Xiaoen noticed Xu Jichang's gaze and couldn't help feeling ashamed.

After finally making tea, Chen Xiaoen quickly returned to his seat, not daring to face Xu Jichang again.

……

A few days later, after returning from studying abroad, Director Gao was very happy to hear Xu Jichang's sales results.

He called Xu Jichang into his office, briefly understood the negotiation process between the two parties, and finally gave Xu Jichang a thumbs-up: "Well done, kill two birds with one stone."

"In addition to sales work, the logistical problems of our factory have also been solved by your hands."

"Now I want to ask you, do you have any ideas about the next stage of flexible sales?"

"Uncle Gao, you make the decision."

Xu Jichang declined.

Flexible sales is a big deal, and logically it should be decided by factory leaders.He couldn't be the one to get on the pole. As soon as Director Gao asked him to say it, he said it.Maybe the other person is just being polite.

"Tell me what you think. As someone who has experienced it personally, you have a deeper understanding."

Director Gao continued to insist.

"Okay, Uncle Gao, you asked me to say it."

Xu Jichang looked into Director Gao's eyes and spoke slowly, "I think this matter should be slowed down."

Factory Director Gao originally thought that Xu Jichang wanted to pursue the victory, but he did not expect him to say these words. He was stunned for a moment and then showed an interesting look: "Huh? Why do you say that?"

"After all, it's just a pilot, and we're already doing pretty well."

"As far as we are concerned, we have done our best. When the superiors see it, they will be satisfied with what we have done."

"If we don't slow down in time, it will be superfluous."

"The ancients often said that things overflow when they are full, and too much is too little. We are now in a state that is about to reach perfection."

"Oh? Is this what you are thinking? It makes sense."

Director Gao was silent after listening, with some thoughts in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll do as you say and suspend flexible sales."

After nearly a minute of silence, Director Gao stared at Xu Jichang and said, "You reminded me today."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. Uncle Gao, you should be busy here."

Xu Jichang stood up and said goodbye.

The initiative to suspend flexible sales may seem unexpected.

In fact, Xu Jichang had already thought about it.

For something of a pilot nature, there is no need to be too aggressive, as long as you can give a satisfactory answer.

As for when the big announcement will be made?Of course we have to wait until the spring breeze blows.

However, I may not have been at Dongfang Fertilizer Factory at that time.

……

When Xu Jichang returned home at noon, after lunch, Shen Danrui came to the door.

Shen Danrui was seen holding two bags of things in his hands, and his face was filled with happiness.

"Do we still need to give something away?"

Xu Jichang was sitting at the table in the living room and said with a smile when he saw Shen Danrui.

"I must thank you. Because I was promoted to deputy director of the county agricultural supplies station."

Shen Danrui placed the bag of things on the table and said to Xu Jichang excitedly, "He was appointed by the regional company."

"Congratulations to you, you won't forget me as your friend after your promotion."

Xu Jichang deliberately teased.

Shen Danrui blushed: "There is no formality."

"Let's talk about how we can become friends."

"What is that not a friend?"

Xu Jichang asked deliberately, making Shen Danrui look embarrassed.

Yes, Xu Jichang's real girlfriend is Du Xiaojing, so what is his identity?

"I won't bother you with this anymore."

Shen Danrui pretended to be angry and said, "Anyway, I have to thank you properly this time."

"No employee in the company expected that I would be promoted this time."

"Haha, it also depends on your own hard work."

Xu Jichang said, then he thought of a question, "By the way, now that you have become the deputy webmaster, will you be even more reluctant to leave here?"

"Leave? Where to go from here?"

Shen Danrui said in surprise, "My family is from here."

"Forget it, when I didn't ask."

Xu Jichang waved his hand and said, "Anyway, congratulations, you can shine in a higher position."

"Gather everyone in our courtyard to have a good meal tonight to celebrate you."

"That's troublesome."

Shen Danrui waved her hands hurriedly.

"If you find it troublesome, just help Qimei cook when the time comes and share some of the burden with her."

Xu Jichang said with a smile, "I'm treating you to wild food."

After deciding to have a dinner party in the evening and seeing Shen Danrui off, Xu Jichang went to the yard and took back two roe deer skins and one wolf skin.

After many days of continuous drying, the two pieces of fur have completely lost their moisture and are very dry to the touch.

Xu Jichang found a mallet at home and beat the three pieces of fur several times until they were completely soft.

In the afternoon, he rode a bicycle to deliver the furs to a state-owned garment store and entrusted the store to help with tanning.
