Era: Start as a buyer

Is it difficult to manufacture bicycles? Like many industries, it is not difficult for those who know it, but not for those who are not.

Luo Cheng woke up in the future era. The job he arranged for himself today was to ride an electric bike around and find a suitable place to open a cement yellow sand store.

However, I wasn’t in a hurry to go out when I was looking for a shop. When I woke up in the morning, I first checked out some bicycle manufacturing videos. There are so many awesome people on the Internet, and some of them who are good at manufacturing can actually make bicycles out of wood, and the wheels are all made of wood. It can be ridden, and the speed is not slow. The only drawback is that it can only be used for entertainment.

There is no problem when riding on smooth roads, but in places with poor roads, it is not shock-resistant and the parts are easy to wear. But what’s even more interesting is that in a place in Africa called Rwanda, there are people there who specialize in making wooden ‘bicycles’. In fact, that kind of bike looks more like a two-wheeled balance bike.

That kind of car has no internal power and relies entirely on external force. It glides directly on the downhill section and relies on balance to control it. There are no brakes. It is used for pushing uphill, and it is actually good to use it in some special areas.

"Why do you always watch some weird videos? I'm going to my dad's house today. Are you free to come with me? It should be about my cousin's car mortgage."

"I'll forget it. Your dad's store doesn't open in our area. I plan to find a store to open a store."

"Looking for a store again? A store that sells native chickens. Didn't you say that the number of native chickens raised has not increased, and the stores have enough."

"I want to open a store selling cement and yellow sand."

"What, what kind of store do you want to open? Selling cement and yellow sand? Do you know this industry?"

"The owner of Private Kitchen Week knows someone who is engaged in civil engineering, and he can provide him with a supporting business."

"How much investment does it cost to open a store?"

"It only costs tens of thousands of yuan. It mainly covers the rent. It doesn't cost much to prepare the goods."

"You just like to toss, pound vegetables, and now you still sell cement and yellow sand. I won't be surprised if you open a supplies store one day."

"You are serious. I am in a serious industry and you can get involved in it. I have a formal team to run it. If I can open that store, don't be laughed to death."

"Okay, but the logistics department you established is really good. I am completely relieved and can play mahjong with peace of mind. By the way, let me tell you something. My cousin's shop is asking you if you want to buy it. Then. My cousin wants to come to work with us again, can you arrange it?"

"Cousin, Zhou Ruoyu?"

"Well, that's her."

Luo Cheng was a little hesitant when he heard that Zhou Ruoyu was coming. This week Ruoyu looks petite, but in fact she is not short, at least 1.6 meters tall. When it comes to work, he is also very serious and responsible.

But that girl looks gentle on the outside, but is actually very courageous. Luo Cheng was actually a little afraid of her. When Luo Cheng first expanded last year, the first batch of cashiers he hired were Liu Xiaofei's cousins.

But towards the end of last year, both sisters stopped doing it. It’s not that they don’t want to do it, it’s that their parents have come here to open a shop, so they will definitely go back to their own shop to help.

Now Luo Cheng no longer provides wild eels, and his cousin Liu Sixin’s parents have also switched to aquatic products to sell fish and shrimp. Zhou Ruoyu's parents didn't want to work anymore. They were in the aquatic products industry and without Luo Cheng to provide supplies, they got up very early to purchase goods. And I don’t know what the business will be like in the future, so I don’t want to do it. The store also wants to transfer out.

Luo Cheng had a good impression of Liu Xiaofei's two younger sisters at first. Although they were not good at reading, they looked well-behaved. I don’t go out to play around, and I basically play with my phone at home after get off work.

But Luo Chengzhen is a little afraid of Zhou Ruoyu, mainly because it is difficult to face him. This was also the sequelae of letting Liu Xiaofei's two younger sisters live in the next room.

If the diaphragm in the room doesn't work, forget it. Liu Xiaofei couldn't help but make loud noises at first, but she can't help but forget it. When the two younger sisters heard the sound in the room, they were not shy, but excited and took the initiative to stick to the wall to listen to the sound.

Luo Cheng also forgot the day when she was alone with Zhou Ruoyu by chance, and she boldly told Luo Cheng that she heard the voices of Luo Cheng and Liu Xiaofei, and asked Luo Cheng if he was very good in that area.

It is said that half of a sister-in-law's butt belongs to her brother-in-law, but that refers to Liu Xiaofei unless she has a biological sister. There seems to be no such explanation for this cousin. Anyway, Luo Cheng knew that Zhou Ruoyu was not so well-behaved on the surface.

But thinking about the local chicken restaurant where he was making chips, Zhou Ruoyu and Zhou Meng both had the same last name. If Zhou Ruoyu is willing, Luo Cheng thinks it would be a good idea to arrange for her to work as a cashier there.

And when Luo Cheng told Liu Xiaofei his idea, now there were enough employees in other stores, and they were basically in a relaxed state of work. If the rain is coming this week, it will indeed be difficult to arrange. And her academic qualifications are low, so she is not qualified to join Luo Cheng's logistics team.

"You opened a local chicken restaurant, why didn't you tell me about this, and now you're getting into catering?"

"We sell local chicken, so wouldn't it be appropriate to open a local chicken restaurant? I have just rented this local chicken restaurant, and the decoration may only start today. You know how to play mahjong every day, and I usually tell you about opening a store. It’s still annoying.”

"Your local chicken restaurant is different from other stores. I can take my card friends to shop. I take my friends to go shopping, but I can't take them to see our store selling local chicken. This local chicken restaurant is It’s different, this is a restaurant. Tell me where the address is and I’ll drive there in two days to have a look.”

"This~~, okay, I'll send you the address on your phone. You can handle the matters at your cousin's side yourself. As for the matters at her parents' store, you, the boss lady, can just go to the logistics department and bring someone over to take a look. TV series Not all of them are bosses who lead their men to buy other people’s stores. Why don’t you show off your domineering attitude and lead your men to inspect it?”

"This is good, this is good. Don't worry about the matters at my cousin's store. I'll take care of it."

Seeing Liu Xiaofei's excitement, Luo Cheng smiled inwardly. She behaved childishly and had watched many online dramas, but it was just like that. Luo Cheng knew that she was falling for it. As a woman, it’s normal to have vanity in order to save face, but as long as you’re not pretending deliberately, that’s fine.

The two chatted in the room for a while and then went about their own business. Luo Cheng went out on an electric scooter, which is what he did without a driver's license, but in fact it was much more convenient to find an electric scooter in a store than a car. To park a car, you have to find a place at every turn, which is really not as convenient as a battery car.

The only troublesome thing is that electric vehicles can only travel in nearby areas, but the place where Luo Cheng lives is close to the suburbs. The shops selling sand, gravel and cement are actually located in dilapidated and dilapidated places.

Unless you have your own yard, you are not allowed to pile sand and gravel in a place with a little formal management. After wandering around for a long time, Luo Cheng couldn't find a suitable place. The main reason was that no matter how large the area was, what Luo Cheng saw would still be foggy.

He didn't understand why there was such a fog against him, but the way to break the fog was very simple. As long as someone took the initiative to collect it on his behalf, even taking a taxi could break it.

Every time he saw the mist, it was as if the world was telling Luo Cheng that he did not belong to this era. Even though I have been living in this era for more than a year, my thinking, aesthetics and some concepts are all integrated with this era, but I still cannot do it if I want to fully integrate into it.

In the end, Luo Cheng unknowingly returned to the warehouse where he stored his things. There were ten tons of chili peppers. Luo Cheng only planned to get half of them for his own time and resell the other half in this time.

I contacted a lot of vegetable sellers, most of whom were retail sellers. After all, Luo Cheng’s shops are mostly located in vegetable markets. I've done some cooking a few times before and got to know a lot of retail investors. It is cheaper for retail investors to buy food here in Luocheng than at the wholesale market. Because the vegetables that people in the wholesale market get are equivalent to passing them through the vegetable sellers.

It's just that such retail investors can take up to a hundred catties at a time. Retail investors rely on volume. I contacted more than 20 retail vendors selling vegetables at once and heard that there were good peppers. The sales cycle is long and they won’t go bad after a day or two. They all agreed to come and pick up the goods at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. For vegetable sellers, the time between two and three o'clock is the most leisurely.

While Luo Cheng was at the warehouse, he suddenly discovered that this place that used to be a waste recycling bin was a very good place to sell cement and yellow sand. There is a yard and a ready-made awning, and the hall in the room is also empty. It is actually easy to find a new warehouse, but difficult to find a suitable store.

And this place is actually big enough. Luo Cheng's selling of cement is just a cover, and he mainly sells yellow sand and gravel. You also have to come here when you 'transport' yellow sand and gravel, and here you can also set aside space to store vegetables.

Luo Cheng was one of those who just did it when he thought of it. He immediately sent the address to accountant Wang Fang and asked her to come over.

"Okay, take a taxi here. From now on, when you go out to work, the taxi expenses will be reimbursed. You ask Wang Shanshan to record it in the department system."

It's hard to take care of employees in this era. I just had someone come over here. In fact, it's not that far from the private houses. It only takes ten minutes to ride an electric bike. But they all asked him whether he came by taxi or how he came.

Thinking about my own time, if I had to go to a place that could be reached by walking for half an hour to do business, the bus would not do it. Luo Cheng took Zhang Hongxiu to the garment factory and lumber factory, both using his own bicycle. After leaving the commune of Xiaxian Township, Luo Cheng did not ask his employer to reimburse him for other travel expenses.

Civil Housing, Logistics Department.

"BOSS agreed?"

"Well, it's cool. BOSS is so generous. From now on, when I go out to do errands, I don't need to squeeze into the bus or take the subway. I'm allowed to take a taxi directly."

"What did the BOSS call you to do?"

"It seems that I have to open a store again, and I have to apply for a business license. This is also considered a job within my responsibility."

"Opening another store. Who would have thought that our humble headquarters would have more than ten stores."

"Yes, my human resources department is also under great pressure. The number of employees under it is about to exceed fifty, which is huge."

"Haha~~, Xiaofang, go quickly, future financial manager."

"Well, Director Shan, are you going to inspect BOSS's chicken restaurant these days?"

"That's natural, but tomorrow I want to go to the breeding base in the suburbs first. Chen Yan, you should go too. There are about a dozen employees there, although they are all older and cannot pay the five insurances and one housing fund. You should also keep statistics and records here."

"Okay, then we will get meal allowance when we go on business trips. The food should be standard. As for the activity funds, Wang Fang joined me at the same time. We don't have company accounts now. We won't have to pay for the expenses in advance. "

"Director Wang, you are the treasurer, you have to solve this matter."

"How should I solve it? I'm not a real supervisor, just a small accountant. The boss calls me over. I may have to pay for the taxi fare."

"Then let BOSS transfer the money, tell him the situation, and apply for funds."

"How to say it, Sister Shanshan, please teach me."

"This is not easy. Bring your phone and I'll send a message to BOSS."

"Don't you have BOSS's contact information? Why are you using my mobile phone?"

"This is about money. You are the treasurer. You don't need to use your mobile phone to contact anyone."

"I'm just a little accountant. Okay, please pay attention to your wording when sending a message. This is my first official job."

~~~

A few minutes later, Wang Fang hurried out. The boss had something to do, so he went all out.

Wang Shanshan and Chen Yan were left with big eyes and small eyes. When they asked for funds just now, they also asked for travel expenses and food expenses. If it really cost a few hundred, it would be enough for them to use it for a long time. But there was almost no nonsense from BOSS, and the money was transferred instantly. One 1, four 0's. I read it several times and realized it was not a thousand, but ten thousand.

The standard for working meals when going out is set at 20. At 20, you can have a great meal. Save your money and order a nice spicy hotpot and a drink.

Wang Fang arrived at Luo Chengfa's location ten minutes later and saw the boss in an old courtyard room.

"In this place, I plan to open a store that sells cement. You can help me apply for a business license. If it is approved, let Chen Yan recruit two strong people to move cement and resist sand and gravel. Forget it. Okay, let’s recruit three people, so that everyone can relax and have someone to take over when they need a break.”

"What about the salary?"

"Go check the porter's approximate salary and we'll make a decision."

"oh."

Wang Fang responded and wrote down all Luo Cheng's requests in her notebook. It's just that when applying for a business license, she only knows the process. After all, she is a fresh graduate. There are some things that she just knows but does not necessarily know.

But everyone has a first time, Wang Fang is not timid, and this is also a work matter.

Wang Fang didn't stay here longer. It was still early. She planned to go to the place where she applied for a business license to find out what information was needed. Like Luo Cheng, asking department staff to handle the matter actually requires many more steps than doing it individually.

Luo Cheng is a legal person. If you need to sign, you need to find someone to do it. Not only do you need to sign back and forth, but you also need to sign a power of attorney. For an inexperienced person like Wang Fang, it is basically impossible to apply for a business license without going through it more than five times.

After Wang Fang left, people who came here to buy food came one after another. Everyone basically took a rough look at the color and quality of the peppers, and then started loading the car. Some came by tricycle, and some came by van.

In fact, Luo Cheng could have called one person to handle such a matter, but he just liked talking to these small retail investors. This is also one of his pleasures. In fact, by talking to them, he can better understand what vegetables are best sold. The demand is more accurate than the traders at the wholesale market.

The retail vegetable sellers who were notified basically all showed up. But they won't stock up on too much. With more than 20 people, they bought just over a ton and a half. Looking at the remaining peppers, he kept the peppers that he wanted to bring to his own time, and the others were actually taken to the wholesale market. Luo Cheng now knew a lot of people there. It was only a few tons of goods, so it was not difficult to handle.

At around four o'clock, Luo Cheng went home and asked where Liu Xiaofei was. This time, he was not at the mahjong parlor, but was shopping in the mall with his cousin Zhou Ruoxue. As for arranging for his cousin to go to the local chicken parlor, we will wait until she comes back. The answer was yes, but I made a small request. The two of them are still shopping in the mall and will discuss it in detail when they get back.

Women, they either play mahjong or go shopping, unlike men, who are content just playing with their mobile phones when they have nothing to do.
