Chapter 651 Securing Distribution Point Quotas from Supply and Marketing Cooperatives

If she were to travel back to the 1970s and had no special skills, Chen Qing's most desired department would be the supply and marketing cooperative!
You can act all high and mighty with customers, there's no sales pressure, you can relax enough to knit sweaters and chat with colleagues, the salary is good, there are plenty of perks, this job is respectable, and it's easy to expand your network, it's great in every way.

Seeing how polite she was, Director Wang figured she must have something to ask of him. He chatted casually with Chen Qing, and the conversation eventually drifted to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Chen Qing: "Director Wang, it's like this, I would like to trouble you to set up a distribution point at the entrance of our Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory. We will provide the location, and we can also solve some of the manpower issues."

A supply and marketing cooperative's distribution point is essentially a small shop.

A normal supply and marketing cooperative can sell large items, such as watches, radios, and telephones, but a supply and marketing cooperative distribution point can only sell daily necessities or food.

Chen Qing was thinking that there was a supply and marketing cooperative two kilometers away. If it was for buying large items, people could accept walking a little further, but it was really inconvenient to walk two kilometers to buy rice, flour, cooking oil, or snacks.

Seeing that she needed his help, Director Wang put on airs: "Director Chen, the supply and marketing cooperative is part of the city's unified plan. You can't just set it up whenever you want. Your factory's location is awkward. Setting up a branch there would be a waste of resources. There are no quotas available right now, so there's nothing I can do."

Chen Qing: "Director Wang, from an official standpoint, this is a great thing that benefits the workers and improves your performance; from a personal standpoint, it's support for our work..."

Director Wang interrupted her, "You make it sound so easy. Stores, manpower, and product allocation—aren't they all troublesome? It's too much trouble for your factory. Director Chen, to be honest, I admire you. If I solve your problem, you have to solve mine."

Speaking of which.

Chen Qing understood.

The supply and marketing cooperative's distribution points can handle it.

But she has to pay a price.

"Director Wang, is there anything I can do to help?"

Director Wang was satisfied; Chen Qing was quite sensible: "It's nothing, my family all like the clothes from your garment factory."

Chen Qing: "Director Wang, how many people are in your family?"

Director Wang smiled and said, "My family members are all doing quite well. We live together as a large family, about forty people. You can estimate fifty."

Fifty people.

It will cost the factory at least a thousand yuan!

Chen Qing smiled and said, "Director Wang's family is really thriving. I think we should leave the matter of 'workers having difficulty buying things' to the labor union. I'm just a young man, too reckless, too ignorant, and too clueless about human relationships, so I'll give up for now."

"What do you mean?" Director Wang crossed his short legs, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Chen Qing dangerously: "You think I want too much? Factory Director Chen, do you think I really covet those few sets of clothes of yours? What don't I have? I only thought of giving you a chance because you're young! Do you think you can keep doing business with foreigners forever? Do you know how big our domestic population is and how much clothing we need? If you want to sell clothes, what are your sales channels? Isn't it just our supply and marketing cooperative? I'm giving you a chance, and you don't even know how to cherish it."

He shook his head regretfully.

He looked at him with a disappointed expression.

Listening to the greasy male leader's usual phrases, Chen Qing felt nauseous. He couldn't say that this kind of person was bad, he was just disgusting. "You're right, we're not in a hurry. After all, it's not a big deal if an employee occasionally takes leave to buy things and delays production. Our garment factory is just a small factory, it's normal that we don't have a supply and marketing cooperative quota. It's because we haven't worked hard enough and haven't let the leaders see us. We still need to improve. Don't worry, when I go back to work, I'll earn more money so that we don't even get a quota for a supply and marketing cooperative distribution point."

She stood up and smiled politely.

Turn around and walk away.

Director Wang, seeing her striding away, quickly called out to her, "Wait, wait..."

"Is there something you need, Director Wang?"

Chen Qing asked with a smile.

"The issue of your garment factory's distribution points isn't something we can't discuss." Director Wang didn't want Chen Qing to cause trouble at the labor union.

If it were really union members urging him to set up a supply and marketing cooperative distribution point, he would lose face.

Chen Qing: "Oh?"

She was tall and standing.

Director Wang felt waves of pressure coming over him and said, "Please sit down first."

"I don't know what girls do with their height these days." Chen Qing sat down, looking at him with a leisurely air.

Director Wang thought for a moment and said, "Your garment factory has a lot of orders right now, are you short-staffed?"

Chen Qing: "It's alright."

Director Wang was speechless.

He set up a supply and marketing cooperative for the Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory, but he didn't benefit from it at all.

Director Wang had a dark expression on his face.

Chen Qing waited patiently.

After Director Wang drank three teacups of water, she finally said, "Director Wang, I heard you have a very smart child, is that right?"

Director Wang: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Although it's unclear who Chen Qing was referring to.

But his descendants are all quite intelligent.

Chen Qing smiled and painted a rosy picture: "Our garment factory is going to have a technical school, and job placement is guaranteed. If you think our garment factory has a good future, you can send your child to our school. As you know, our garment factory is always expanding. Last year it was a blank slate, but this year we have more than 2,000 people. There are plenty of opportunities to become a leader."

Director Wang thought about it.

That makes sense!

At least he's a top student who went to a technical school; he has real skills, and with a grandfather like him supporting him, it will be easier for him to move up in the future.

Having finally gotten some benefits from Chen Qing, Director Wang didn't delay any longer and promised her, "It's really difficult for me to set up this distribution point for your supply and marketing cooperative, but since our Factory Director Chen has already spoken up, there's no reason not to do it. Don't worry, I will definitely get this distribution point sorted out for you."

"Then I'd appreciate it if you could introduce your child to me, Director Wang."

"sure."

The two finished their discussion.

Chen Qing finally left.

Thankfully, there was a vocational school as a buffer.

That way, at least the people who come in will have learned some skills, and won't just be getting paid for nothing.

With the protons left by Director Wang at the garment factory, they can also make a profit.

Although Director Wang was annoying, he was right about one thing: before 1980, if you wanted to sell clothes in China, you really couldn't afford to have a bad relationship with him.

After Chen Qing got into the car, Secretary Zhang drove back to the factory.

Chen Qing plans to complete small projects such as the supply and marketing cooperative, auditorium, and stadium this year, and then work on larger projects such as hospitals and bus stops next year.

Only by preparing everything necessary for the employees can we make everyone's lives more convenient.

Because working in a garment factory is a bit tougher than working in other factories.

There are many rules and the management is strict.

People from the Third Garment Factory would find it difficult to adapt to the summer sportswear factory.

Fortunately, the first batch of employees were all newcomers, which made it easier for Chen Qing to manage the factory and also laid the foundation for the Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory.

Since the workers did a lot of work, Chen Qing wanted to improve their welfare and benefits. He wanted to solve whatever the employees needed so that their hard work would not be in vain.
