Zhou Feng was a little surprised when he heard Manager Wang's words. From the looks of it, Manager Wang seemed to be quite supportive of him spending money to buy supplies.
Is it so easy to take out public money now? Didn't they say that it was a planned economy now? The money in the factory had to be handed over to the country and couldn't be used casually?
Could it be that there was something he didn't know about? Or could it be that the leaders of the factory were seriously corrupted and really dared to use public tools for personal use?
"Manager Wang, although I can get the supplies, can the factory approve the funds?”
Zhou Feng had some doubts about Factory Manager Wang's words. He was a little worried that Factory Manager Wang could persuade Secretary Liu to approve his funds.
One had to know that no matter what era it was, it was not easy to use the funds in the factory.
This was not something that could be decided by one or two people. There were too many links in the middle. If one person did not agree, the funding would not be approved.
If it was leaked, then the matter would be big. The risk was really too great.
"Comrade Zhou Feng, you don't have to worry about the funding problem. As long as you can get the materials, I'll solve the funding problem.
You don't know, but it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. The leaders of the factory are all worried about giving benefits to the workers.”
When Manager Wang heard that there was a chance, he quickly assured Zhou Feng. Now that the rolling mill was short of funds, no one would interfere in the matter of giving benefits to the entire factory.
If anyone dared to stop them in this aspect, they would be making an enemy of the entire factory. They would not be able to survive in the rolling mill.
Therefore, Factory Manager Wang was confident that he could approve the funds.
"Alright, but I wonder how many supplies the factory needs? I'll see if I can get them.”
Seeing that Factory Manager Wang was so sure, Zhou Feng no longer doubted it. It seemed that this matter was a tacit understanding between the leaders and not a decision made by Factory Manager Wang alone.
"How about this, Comrade Zhou Feng, let's go to Secretary Liu's office now and report to him. As for the lack of supplies, let's discuss it with Secretary Liu.”
As he spoke, Factory Manager Wang called Zhou Feng over to Secretary Liu's office.
The two of them went to Secretary Liu's office. After knocking on the door and entering, Factory Manager Wang told Secretary Liu that Zhou Feng could get living supplies. Secretary Liu's eyes instantly lit up.
"Xiao Li, can you really get these supplies?”
Secretary Liu's face was also full of anticipation. The supplies were really too scarce now. If there was a chance, he had to grab it tightly.
"Secretary, I can indeed find my former comrades to transfer a batch of supplies, but I can't guarantee the quantity yet.”
Seeing Secretary Liu's expectant expression, Zhou Feng did not dare to make any guarantees. He really did not know if his space could meet the needs of the factory.
At the moment, he could only confirm that his space could indeed duplicate complex items, but he was not sure how many he could duplicate.
After all, he had not done any specific experiments. He had to slowly explore it himself.
Therefore, Zhou Feng did not dare to guarantee the quantity of the supplies. If there were too few of them and his space was not enough, he could still find his comrades to think of a way. However, if there were too many of them, he could not do anything.
From this point of view, Zhou Feng was not lying. He did have many old comrades who had transferred to the local area. He could still get some supplies by using his connections.
This was also the prerequisite for Zhou Feng to have the confidence to ensure that he could get the supplies.
"That's great. The more the better, but you don't have to feel too much pressure. Just do your best. There are so many leaders in our factory.”
Hearing Zhou Feng's affirmative reply, Secretary Liu smiled. This was really an unexpected surprise.
He did not expect Zhou Feng to give him such a big surprise on his first day at work.
"How about this, Xiao Li, wait for a while. I'll ask Director Li from the logistics department to come over. He knows the most about these problems.”
Secretary Liu called Director Li and asked him to come to the office.
Director Li came very quickly. Recently, he had been having a headache over the welfare of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that he heard that someone was willing to share his worries, how could he not be enthusiastic?
"Secretary Liu, Manager Wang, I'm here. I've brought the current list of supplies.”
As he spoke, Chief Physician Li went forward and held Zhou Feng's hand. He said enthusiastically,
"Section Chief Li, thank you so much. You've really helped us a lot.”
"Alright, alright. Director Li, hurry up and show Comrade Zhou Feng the list of materials that are lacking. This is the top priority now.”
Secretary Liu stopped Director Li from speaking, making him feel like he was getting down to business.
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at me. I forgot about the proper business in my excitement. Come, Division Chief Li, this is the list of supplies. Take a look at what you can solve.”
Director Li quickly handed the list of supplies to Zhou Feng, afraid that he would go back on his word. If that happened, he would have a headache.
"Chief Physician Li, you're too polite. Let me take a look at the list first and see if there's anything I can help with.”
Zhou Feng took the list and looked at it. Soon, his brows furrowed. There were too many materials on the list.
It made sense. After all, it was a large factory with a few thousand people. The amount of resources needed was indeed shocking. However, Zhou Feng really did not expect that the shortage of resources would be so huge.
Looking at the contents of the list, there weren't many types of resources, but there was a huge gap in quantity! At present, the materials in the factory were not even half of what they needed. How much welfare materials would these thousands of people need?
The first item on the list was pork, 3500 pounds!
This was the most important item in the entire supply chain, but even this most important item had a deficit of 3000 pounds. 3,000 catties of pork. Based on the weight of live pigs in this era, 3,000 catties of pork would require about 20 live pigs.
With so much pork shortage, even the breeding farm would not be able to allocate it to you.
The number of pigs in the pig farm was fixed. Even if there were more, it would only be a few for emergency use. How many farms would they have to run to gather more than 20 pigs?
Zhou Feng continued to read. The second item was vegetable oil. The amount was not much, only half of the amount of pork.
However, in this era, cooking oil was harder to get than pork, so naturally, there was a huge shortage. However, this gap was still okay because Director Li had promised to solve the problem of 500 pounds. He was only short of 200 pounds.
The third item was pastries. This was easy to solve. They had gathered enough and there were no gaps.
Just as Zhou Feng heaved a sigh of relief, the fourth item made Zhou Feng frown because the fourth item stated 500 catties of aquatic products.
