Chapter 583 Emergency Procurement
"Can I pick a few people to take with me?"
"Of course, no problem. Just submit the list later."
"Budget for purchasing supplies..."
Mr. Fei showed a smile on his face: "The company will directly allocate 100 million to you. You can purchase as much as you can. This task is heavy, so we must do our best in logistics."
The rationing system is still in place in the country.
Even if it is a rescue, you still have to swipe your food card to eat.
So it’s okay to eat well, but it’s difficult to eat well.
"What if it exceeds 100 million?"
Xu Dong wanted to bring more food, which might come in handy in case of an emergency.
"No matter how much it exceeds, the company will reimburse you when you come back."
"Okay, I know."
Mr. Fei finally handed over a document: "This is the list of all rescuers. You will leave for Qingniwa Port at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and officially board the ship and set sail at two o'clock in the afternoon."
Xu Dong took the document and nodded immediately.
When he returned to the office, he immediately called a meeting with his subordinates. Time was tight and he had to hurry up.
There were more than a dozen people sitting in the small conference room.
"I just came back from Mr. Fei. Everyone knows about Nisang. The company plans to send out an electric power repair team, led by myself, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."
Xu Dong comes straight to the point.
"Director, shall I go with you?"
Gu Haiyuan was the first to speak.
Xiang Xin also nodded.
The previous time when we planted a factory, it was a similar situation. The last group of people gained a lot and benefited from it for life. They also didn't want to miss the opportunity to make contributions this time.
Xu Dong was very pleased. The Security Department was his base, and they really had the same heart as him.
"Since you have volunteered yourself, Lao Gu, let me count you as the only one and call Ren Li as well. As for Xiao Xiang, you'd better stay. The security department will be left to you for the time being."
Xiang Xin is a woman after all, so it's a bit inappropriate.
"Director, I..."
Xu Dong waved his hand: "Okay, that's it."
"Director, what about us?"
Chief Xi of the Property Management Department asked.
"Old Xi, please come with me. This mission is dangerous to a certain extent. I hope you can be mentally prepared in advance."
"Director, don't worry, I, Lao Xi, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Section Chief Xi quickly assured.
"Yeah." Xu Dong nodded.
Section Chief Liu of the Traffic Service Center immediately followed up: "Director, can you count me in?"
If you don’t show your loyalty now, then when will you wait?
"No, the three of them are enough. I have another task for you."
Xu Dong opened the water glass and took a sip of water.
"Director, please give your orders directly!"
"When you get back, immediately arrange for several large trucks to be on standby. There is a batch of supplies that you need to transport to Qingniwa Port. We will set off overnight tonight. We must complete the shipment before noon tomorrow."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task."
The meeting lasted for more than an hour.
There is no way, there are too many chores for a team of 800 people, and they all need to be arranged one by one in advance.
"Okay, let's break up the meeting." Xu Dong patted the table, "Lao Gu, Lao Xi, you two hand over the work, and then go straight to get off work, go back and pack your luggage, and meet at the South High-speed Railway Station at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Director, how long will this business trip last?"
Gu Haiyuan asked smoothly.
Xu Dong shook his head: "I don't know. It could take as little as a week or as long as a few months. It's possible. Bring your winter clothes and try to be as prepared as possible."
"I got it."
Lao Gu suddenly realized that the task was not simple.
After his subordinates left, Xu Dong went to the administration department and the finance department in turn. After all, it was a purchase involving hundreds of millions of yuan, and time was tight, so he had to do special things.
Fortunately, Mr. Fei said hello in advance, and both departments were very cooperative.
After everything was done, he called Mr. Mike again and asked him to prepare 100 million supplies in advance and go directly to pick up the goods later.
Mr. Mike agreed immediately.
Compared with the previous two billion orders, one hundred million is really nothing. If it were all used to purchase high-end ingredients, it would probably not even be able to load a small truck.
In addition, the foreign trade situation has been booming recently, and his foreign trade company has also expanded a lot.
…
An hour later, Xu Dong led a group of people to Mr. Mike's foreign trade company, accompanied by three large trucks carrying more than 20 tons.
The vehicles were seconded from sister units.
"Manager Sun, Manager Shang, this is my good friend Mr. Mike. Their company is the leading foreign trade company in the capital area."
"Mr. Mike, nice to meet you!"
"Mike, these two are department managers of our company. They will be jointly responsible for this purchase."
"welcome……"
After some polite greetings, several people came to the warehouse.
Xu Dong asked directly: "Where are the supplies?"
"Follow me, everything is over here."
Arriving at a corner of the warehouse, Mr. Mike pointed at the goods in front of him and introduced:
“There are a total of 20 tons of canned grains, 40 tons of canned meat, 5 tons of salted fish, 300 boxes of ordinary red wine, as well as coffee, chocolate, candies and other snacks, a total of more than 50 boxes.
I heard about the purpose of this batch of supplies from Lao Xu. Since they are relief supplies, I want to do my part, so I will charge the cost price, which is 162.53 million in total. "
Xu Dong coughed hard: "No need for the red wine, just replace it with canned meat!"
Although we need to eat well, red wine is a bit too much, and we can't drink during work.
"Okay, of course no problem."
Mr. Mike nodded.
Xu Dong handed the list of supplies to Manager Sun:
"Old Sun, what do you think?"
Manager Sun looked at the list and hesitated.
Manager Shang of the Finance Department was more direct: "Old Xu, aren't these a bit too luxurious? I won't talk about canned food, coffee, chocolate and candy..."
"Old Shang, these things you mentioned, Mr. Mike was reluctant to sell them, and I specifically begged him to add them. Although the price is not cheap, it is definitely worth it.
You also know the miserable situation in Nisang. The rescue will definitely not be completed in a short time. These things are convenient for replenishing mental and physical strength, which is more conducive to rescue."
Xu Dong hurriedly explained.
Manager Sun helped persuade him, "Lao Shang, what Lao Xu said makes sense. Everyone risked their lives to rescue. Since there are conditions, we should use them all. I think Mr. Fei also means this."
Before leaving, Mr. Fei specifically greeted him and asked him to meet Director Xu's requirements as much as possible.
"Okay, let's sign the contract!"
Lao Shang himself didn't think of objecting.
It's just a statement of attitude.
If things come to a head later, even if there is responsibility, it can't be pushed all on his head.
After signing the contract, Xu Dong pulled Mr. Mike to a corner where no one was: "Mike, how much of my batch of canned food has not arrived yet?"
"There are still more than 1,800 tons."
"Will it arrive before the end of the year?"
Mike shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't be by the end of the year. It will probably be around the Spring Festival."
Plans can't keep up with changes. The originally expected arrival time can only be postponed for another month or two due to the impact of the foreign trade situation.
The only thing to be thankful for is that because the order was placed early and the high penalty for breach of contract, the price has not changed.
"Okay, Spring Festival is Spring Festival, try to be quick."
This volcanic earthquake gave Xu Dong a revelation. Even if there is no war, there may be other disasters in the future, even not inferior to nuclear war.
A sense of urgency came over me.
