"You want the goods?" Bureau Chief Tan's eyes lit up.
He thought that Chu Junjie had something else to trouble him with. Although it wasn't that he didn't want to help, he was more or less cautious.
A favor was a favor, but everyone was afraid of trouble.
Chief Tan was also worried that Chu Junjie would make unreasonable requests.
However, when he heard that Chu Junjie wanted the goods, Director Tan became excited.
"Come, Junjie, have a seat and drink some tea. Tell me what you want.”
Chief Tan stood up and poured a cup of tea for Chu Junjie. Chu Junjie wanted to stop him but couldn't.
At this time, Director Tan no longer put on airs when he saw Manager Zhu. Instead, he was very easy-going and directly brought a cup of tea in front of Chu Junjie. Chu Junjie smiled and took it without drinking it.
" I need a batch of canned toys, shoes, and leather clothes," he said." I just happened to have a list. Uncle Tan, take a look."”
"I heard from Factory Manager Zhu that his canned food is sold at a 30% discount."
"Uncle Tan, can you help me see if there are any factories that are in a hurry to use money?”
Chu Junjie put down his teacup and took out a list, handing it to Chief Tan.
After Chief Tan heard this, he took a look at the list. After glancing at it, he was surprised.
"Junjie, you want so many things? 100,000 cans just for canned food? There are also 7000 pieces of leather clothing, 20000 pieces of toys and various shoes, as well as blankets and other supplies…"
"What do you want with so many things?”
"It's not the time to go into the sea. I want to do something too.”Chu Junjie laughed.
"Your dad knows?" Director Tan asked.
"Yes, I told him. He supports my choice.”
"But even if he doesn't support it, I'll still do it. Besides, this matter doesn't have much to do with him. It has a lot to do with your business, Uncle Tan.”Chu Junjie said.
Chief Tan nodded slightly.
This matter really had something to do with him.
He was the director of the light industry bureau. His job was to plan the production of light industrial products.
As for those factories, such as who they sold their goods to and where they sold them to, it had nothing to do with him, so Bureau Chief Tan didn't care about the sales volume of these factories.
Selling was not his business.
He was worried about something else.
That was, if those factories could not pay wages and the workers caused trouble, what would happen?
As the old saying went, in the capital, the emperor was at his feet. If anything happened, he, the director of the Light Industry Bureau, would not be able to bear the consequences.
Chu Junjie wanted to buy goods, which was equivalent to reducing the financial pressure of the factory.
As long as the factory had money to pay wages, the workers would not cause trouble. If they did not cause trouble, there would be no trouble. Director Tan would be relaxed.
Thus, Chief Tan helping Chu Junjie was equivalent to helping him reduce his own troubles.
Therefore, Director Tan was very concerned.
Chu Junjie saw the expression on Chief Tan's face and knew that this matter might have a chance.
Chu Junjie wasn't sure if Chief Tan would really help.
Although Chief Tan and Chu Junjie's family had a good relationship, work was work, and favors were favors. Everyone knew which was more important.
Work was the foundation of life, and favors were just icing on the cake.
Therefore, Chu Junjie didn't come today to say that he was certain of success. He just wanted to do his best to complete this matter.
If he wanted to complete this matter and achieve Chu Junjie's goal, he had to prescribe the right medicine.
However, it seemed that Chu Junjie had grasped the key and took out Director Tan's pulse.
"Alright, Junjie, let me take a look at the list.”
Bureau Chief Tan picked up a pen and wrote some calculations on a piece of draft paper on the table.
After a while, Bureau Chief Tan said,"I've calculated. We can contact the manufacturer for you if you want this batch of goods.”
"You've seen it for yourself in the capital now. Many factories are busy, and the things they make are piled up in their hands and can't be sold.”
"Everyone is looking for sales. Just now, Manager Zhu of the canned food factory came to me to complain.”
"You probably heard it too. He would rather lose money than sell the goods. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the money to pay his salary.”
"Junjie, even with a 30% discount, you'll need at least two million yuan. Do you have that much money on hand?”
Chu Junjie said,"I got some funds, but like Uncle Tan said, I heard what happened just now.”
"Although I have this money on hand, I still have other uses. I can't spend it all.”
"What I mean is, pay 30% of the deposit first and pull the goods.”
"Then, I'll make up the balance after the trade is over in a month or two. What do you think, Uncle Tan?”
When Chief Tan heard this, he couldn't help but ponder.
Director Tan thought carefully.
This matter was not just about the favor, but also his working relationship.
One of the important tasks and responsibilities of the Light Industry Bureau was to coordinate the production of light industry factories in the capital.
Many of them were state-owned factories.
Their inability to pay their salaries, the stockpiling of goods, and even causing trouble affected Chief Tan.
This was a mistake on his part.
If something really happened, then this matter would be big or small.
If it were to become a bigger matter, such as a street riot or even a protest, Chief Tan would also be criticized.
This would not affect his financial interests, but his career.
Therefore, it was in Chief Tan's interest to settle these matters as soon as possible. At least, it was not a big mess.
After all, if the workers had no money, they could do anything.
The family members of the factory workers might go to Beijing and cause some trouble. It was impossible to hide things under the emperor's feet. If something happened, it would be very bad for Chief Tan's future development.
Chu Junjie doing this was a great help to Chief Tan.
Therefore, Bureau Chief Tan was more than willing to help.
Chief Tan was mainly calculating how to arrange the benefits.
After thinking for a while, his thoughts became clear.
Chief Tan was thinking that if the factory didn't pay back the wages, the workers would definitely cause trouble. It might even become a group incident.
That would be ugly.
Chu Junjie was buying the goods now. Although the deposit was small, he still asked for a 30% discount from the cost price. This was already a fracture price...
However, it wasn't Director Tan who paid for it, nor was it the Light Industry Bureau.
The ones responsible for the costs were the factory managers.
Moreover, even if those factory managers suffered losses, they were all willing.
After all, they were waiting for cash to save their lives. If they had goods but no cash, they would still not be able to pay their salaries. It was better to sell the goods cheaply and find some cash.
In this way, Director Tan didn't have to bear any additional responsibility, nor was there much risk. He could also do the factory owners a favor and gain face in front of his childhood friend Chu Tianying.
After thinking about it, Chief Tan felt that this could be done.
"Alright, Junjie, 30% deposit it is!”
"Now, more than half of those factories are eating with their belts tightened. The employees can't even eat their next meal.”
"Even a 30% deposit from you can solve the urgent problem.”
said Bureau Chief Tan.
"Alright." Chu Junjie nodded.
"Oh, right, Uncle Tan, there's something else. It's related to this batch of goods I ordered.”
"I remember that you have connections with the Beijing railway bureau? Can you get the K3 train wagon?”Chu Junjie asked.
