Xu Jinjin was stunned: "Not sending employees? What do you mean?"

Wang Yi said: "It's like this. You see, now that reform and opening up has been implemented, the country allows the private economy to develop, and also allows self-employed individuals to develop."

"You know this better than me, so I thought, since self-employed people are allowed to do business, can they imitate supply and marketing cooperatives and do it themselves?"

Xu Jinjin said hesitantly: "Public-private partnerships were possible before 1956, when every village had small shops. I'm afraid it's not feasible now. Our Ministry of Commerce has not yet issued a policy to allow privately operated supply and sales outlets to appear in the market.

"

Wang Yi asked: "You belong to the Ministry of Commerce now?"

Xu Jinjin nodded: "Yes, in January this year according to the "Preliminary Plan for Institutions of the State Council", the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Food and the National Supply and Marketing Cooperative merged to form a new Ministry of Commerce. They were merged in 1958 and 1970. They were all merged several times.

They separated after a year."

Wang Yi was very excited upon hearing this.

Then if you set up a supply and marketing cooperative on the island, you can sell food outside without attracting any attention.

Xu Jingbo continued: "However, we are very independent. This year's merger is different from the previous two. The main reason is that after the past mergers, the provincial and county supply and marketing cooperatives merged with the provincial and county commercial bureaus, resulting in management chaos."

"This time, various regions have summarized the experience and lessons of the past two-in-one and two-part divisions. The vast majority of provincial and sub-provincial supply and marketing cooperatives have not merged with state-owned commerce and have retained independent organizational systems. Therefore, we in Jiangnan established a supply and marketing company to receive support from the Ministry of Commerce.

Jurisdiction.”

"But we are now under the management of the Ministry of Commerce after all, and some policies must be implemented in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Commerce. We cannot act arbitrarily."

Wang Yi said firmly: "Manager Xu, your idea is right, but after the reform and opening up, Comrade Xiaoping said that poverty is not socialism. Our country must develop the economy and activate the economy. You know this better than me.

,right?"

Xu Jinjin remained silent.

Wang Yi continued: "Economic policies will become more open in the future. I am a college student and I firmly believe this."

"So, Manager Xu, you see, without policy support, we can't let private individuals run supply and marketing cooperatives at will, but we can open a sales agency in the village, right?"

"What is a consignment point? You see, now major factories and companies are introducing production lines from abroad. Our country's primary and secondary industries have been booming. The items produced by some factories need to be directly connected to rural areas, and

I’m afraid it’s not possible to rely solely on supply and marketing cooperatives, it’s too rigid.”

"If the supply and marketing cooperatives set up sales outlets for these units in the village, wouldn't it be more flexible? It is not necessary for the supply and marketing cooperatives to provide comprehensive supplies, but to provide selective supplies."

"The supply and marketing cooperatives can flexibly provide part of the goods to rural sales agencies if they think they are suitable for rural sales. Or if some units think that their goods should be sold face-to-face to the people, they can also hand them over to rural sales agencies."

Xu Jinjin clapped his hands and said: "Speak slowly, don't say it yet, your ideas are very novel, and your concepts have some enlightenment for my rigid mind!"

But after thinking about it for a while, he still hesitated: "Is this possible?"

Wang Yi's attitude was firm: "Manager Xu, this will definitely work. As you know, I went to Shanghai last weekend, and people in Shanghai are doing this now."

"Really?" Xu Jinjin asked.

Wang Yi gave an example: "You may not know that the foreign trade market in Hudu has donated money to our school. I am going to thank them."

"Right next to their work building, a TV factory in the capital has rented a house and set up a sales agency. This is not an office in Hudu, but a sales point. I asked about it and they are planning to open it in the economically prosperous area of ​​​​Shanghai.

We must set up sales outlets!”

He is indeed confident in this regard.

In a few years, tuck shops will sprout up all over the countryside, and every village will have a sales department or even more than one sales department.

In addition, some agricultural input companies have also set up sales points in rural areas, cooperating directly with farmers in the villages to reserve seeds, feed, pesticides, fertilizers and other agricultural supplies for sale.

He described this vision to Xu Jinjin.

Xu Jinjin went to him to inquire about the consignment sales model in detail, and finally came to a conclusion: "I will purchase goods according to the needs of the village, and I will only be responsible for the market. In this way, I will prosper the economy, and eventually open all the stores in the countryside. Well, this is called having no father above."

Mother, we are full of children and grandchildren."

Wang Yi laughed: "Yes, there is no father or mother above, but there are many children and grandchildren below."

Xu Jinjin nodded slowly and frowned.

Still undecided.

Seeing this, Wang Yi made a harsh remark: "Manager Xu, you always say that our party secretary is not open-minded enough and not progressive enough. I look at you, hahaha..."

Xu Jinjin glared at him: "You don't have to use provocations on me. You weren't even born when I did this!"

He walked around with his hands behind his back, thinking.

Finally, the decision was made: "At the beginning of the year, the National Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives merged with the Ministry of Commerce. Only the brand name of the National Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives was retained, and the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives Council was established. At that time, the central government spoke and said that the purpose of this was to restore '

Three natures': mass nature, democracy, and flexibility."

"Since we need to mobilize the masses to engage in economic development and develop the economy flexibly, there may be no problem in conducting some experimental operations!"

Wang Yi comforted him: "Uncle Xu, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem."

Xu Jinjin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll go over and talk to your party secretary. Your party secretary has long wanted to set up a supply and marketing cooperative in the team."

"But this is not a supply and marketing cooperative we are talking about, it should belong to the sales department."

Wang Yi nodded.

Sales department?

It's a pretty good name.

As long as I can sell things on the island and have a way to purchase goods, I can just call the toilet!

Xu Jinjin nodded, and things would naturally be easier to handle.

Wang Xianghong is more in favor of setting up a sales department in the team. The only question is where should the sales department be built and who will be in charge.

Wang Yi quickly patted his chest:

I am promoting this matter, so I must be held responsible, because I have to use the existence of the sales department to cover up what I brought back from 2022.

As for the place?

He also chose a place, and he chose it in the granary of one of the barracks!

He explained to the two of them: "For the common people, what is more in demand than food? And now that the supply and marketing cooperative and the Ministry of Food have merged, I will sell food together there, so that the members can buy it when they buy food.

Necessary necessities for daily life, how suitable are they?”

"And the granary is in the school, so students need to be exposed to new things. Why? Because the future of the country depends on them!"

Wang Xianghong said: "Then you are too busy at work."

Wang Yi puffed up his chest and said solemnly: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

Xu Jinjin was moved by these words: "Well said, well said. The greater your ability, the heavier your burden will be. Isn't this how our production team arranges its work?"

"Teacher Wang's awareness is amazing, and his ability is also amazing. Speaking of opening the marketing department, we really need to rely on him. I'm afraid other people's arithmetic skills cannot bear such a burden!"

Wang Xianghong said: "Then it will be hard for Teacher Wang!"

Wang Yi nodded firmly.

As long as you promise me to take care of the sales department, what's the point of suffering? Good days will follow.

The better days are yet to come!

Wang Xianghong entertained Xu Jinjin as usual, but this time Xu Jinjin came here to give Wang Yi a gift to return the favor. The supply and marketing company was really busy, and he had a meeting when he went back in the evening.

So he couldn't stay for dinner, and the reason he used was very clever: he was going to prepare a sales department for Tianya Island right away, and he happened to mention it at the meeting when he went back in the evening.

Wang Xianghong sent him on board the ship willingly.

Before boarding the ship, Yao Dangbing patted Wang Yi's chest vigorously and solemnly announced: "I will definitely watch your watch, and I will come and pick it up as soon as possible!"

Wang Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, it is yours!"

The sales department is located in a granary, and the granary must be tidied up.

Wang Xianghong was also a man who worked vigorously and resolutely. He came to find Wang Yi in the granary that night, with the old carpenter Wang Xianggao behind him.

"In the future, the sales department will hang a lamp." Wang Xianghong said, "Teacher Wang, please write this down and ask the clerk to put a lamp for you tomorrow and take a line from the door of Tingtaoju."

"The layout of the sales department should be modeled on that of the commune supply and marketing cooperative. Didn't the bricks the supply and marketing company sent us last time not be used up? Set up a counter across the door."

"Well, there is space under the counter. You can put two water tanks. I see that the commune is arranged like this. You can put soy sauce tanks, vinegar tanks or even wine tanks underneath."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xianggao asked: "If there is a supply and marketing cooperative in our team, can we sell alcohol?"

Wang Xianghong put her hands behind her back and said, "Yes, you can't forget this wine."

Wang Xiang smiled high and said: "You know me, Party Secretary, we grew up together. There is nothing else in my life other than a few sips."

Wang Xianghong said: "Then you can drink some in the future. I asked Lao Xu if the supply and marketing company can provide us with a dime."

Yimaoshao is the most famous wine in the rural areas of the entire Jiangnan region. It costs one liang and one cent for dry sweet potato wine. This kind of wine is sold everywhere in the market. There is no ticket and no limit. It is the favorite of old drunkards.

good.

One cent per kilo is equivalent to two taels, and only 50 cents per kilogram. This is the cheapest wine you can find on the market, and it can be sold in bulk.

There is another kind of wine that is also very famous in rural areas. It is sorghum wine and costs nine cents a pound, so it is called Jiuling Daqu.

Jiuling Daqu can also be sold in bulk, and its grade is a bit higher than Yimao Shao. For example, when greeting relatives on other islands, you will use Jiu Ling Daqu, and if you drink it by yourself, you will have to drink Yi Mao Shao.
