Mengzecheng Chamber of Commerce also needs to purchase some things from the outside, and naturally it will have a special procurement department.

In addition to purchasing some essential items, such as food from chamber of commerce members, such as carriages, birds, dragon foals, etc. required for transportation business, there are also very important array materials.

The layout materials are the big head of procurement, Niu Shangming has told himself this.

Of course, I didn't say it too much.

"Since Vice President Wang wants to start from the procurement, that's fine, I have no objection." Zhao Yan did not object.

Wang Lun then asked: "Can Vice President Zhao tell me about the procurement situation of the Chamber of Commerce? Just the general situation."

"…The big part of the purchase is the layout materials, which account for about 60% of the proportion."

"After all, the main business of the Chamber of Commerce is to help others refine magic arrays. In each magic array, spirit stones are an important item that provides energy-driven energy, but there are other items that make up, such as array flags, magic drills used to dig holes, crystal pillars used to support certain magic arrays, etc. The spirit stones are not available from the headquarters of the Lingzong, which is definitely cheaper than purchasing outside. However, other things are not produced in Lingzong, or even if they are produced, they will have no advantage in price compared to mature producers because of their inability to master them. Therefore, most of the materials required for refining magic arrays have been purchased from the outside world. The Chamber of Commerce controlled by Lingzong buys them from the outside world. The ones that are cheaper and have good quality will choose which one."

"In addition to the materials used for array layout, the formation master also needs some props for daily testing of formations, and these props will also be purchased from the outside world."

"There are many items related to the formation business, and the purchase amount is also large, which is naturally normal to occupy 60% of the total."

After hearing this, Wang Lun could understand.

He specializes in his skills. Ling Sect is indeed the strongest sect in comprehensive strength, but not every aspect can be done well.

It’s like a car company that has its own manufacturing platform and can also produce engines by itself. Of course, if you are willing, you can rely on your strong financial resources to set up a new department to produce automotive glass, tires, LCD screens, dash recorders, etc.

But in fact, no automobile manufacturing group will produce all the components that make up the automobile themselves.

Like tires, glass, etc., they are purchased from specialized tire manufacturers and glass manufacturers.

This is because setting up these departments will occupy a large amount of new resources, not only because the tires, glass, etc. produced are difficult to have a price advantage, but they cannot beat those specialized manufacturers at all.

You know, those tire manufacturers and glass manufacturers specialize in this. They have put a lot of effort into this.

The same is true for the Lingzong. The most important item for refining magic circles - spirit stones. The Lingzong itself has spiritual veins to provide. The Lingzong itself has the technology for refining magic circles, but like crystal pillars, magic chisels, array flags, etc., I would rather purchase them than spend a lot of resources to make them by myself.

"How do you do the procurement of array materials?"

Wang Lun wanted to know more clearly.

"Vice President Wu and Vice President Li are responsible for the formation business. Of course, they submit purchase lists to me regularly, and then I will send purchasing personnel to investigate, compare prices, and purchase, and register with the accounting personnel after I come back."

Wang Lun asked: "So procurement and accounting are separated from the formation refining part. Vice President Wu and Vice President Li have no right to intervene?"

"Of course," Zhao Yan felt that Wang Lun asked a little strange. "This can prevent the situation of filling his pockets. If the procurement is also under the responsibility of other vice presidents, there is no need for the internal affairs to exist."

Wang Lun smiled: "It's true

.”

The management system of the chamber of commerce is the same as that of modern companies in the earth. In fact, the former is not as advanced as the latter, and there are more loopholes in preventing personal pockets.

After all, the division of labor in modern companies is clearer and the professionalism of employees is higher.

Wang Lun was not sure if there was any problem with the procurement department, so he didn't ask Zhao Yan at all, and just planned to investigate it himself.

He said a few words to Zhao Yan, and while it was still an hour before noon, Wang Lun went to the procurement department himself.

The procurement department also has an independent building, but only one floor. After Wang Lun appeared, Chen Liang's deputy came over quickly.

"Vice President Wang, welcome you to us." The deputy said that he respected Wang Lun too much, but he was just a normal attitude of reaction from his subordinates to his superiors, and he couldn't even talk about flattering him.

The deputy felt that there was no need to curry favor with Wang Lun.

The head of the procurement here is Chen Liang. They are employees under Chen Liang. Chen Liang reported directly to Vice President Zhao Yan. Vice President Wang only joined the Chamber of Commerce. He has no clear position yet and cannot directly interfere in purchasing here.

One day when Vice President Wang becomes Chen Liang's superior, it will not be too late for them to curry favor with Wang Lun.

The deputy didn't understand the reason why Wang Lun came in here alone, and then said, "Vice President Wang, Deacon Chen Liang and Chen are out."

Wang Lun nodded: "There are new procurement tasks in the past two days. Show me the list. I want to choose one for follow-up, which will not affect your normal procurement."

Even if you don’t know anything, at least you are the vice president, so you don’t need to speak with a negotiated tone when talking to your subordinates.

Wang Lun issued an order.

The deputy wanted to say a few words and shirk it away, but he didn't want Wang Lun to intervene, but suddenly he thought that Wang Lun was the vice president and was much higher than Chen Liang. How could he be so furious? Even Chen Liang would not dare to disobey Wang Lun in person.

"Vice President Wang, please come here," After taking Wang Lun to the local area, the deputy took out several procurement lists and let Wang Lun take a look. "The purchase orders that have not been completed are all here."

Wang Lun didn't look at it and said directly: "Select orders related to purchasing array materials, the most urgent order."

The deputy then realized that Vice President Wang wanted this, so he directly selected the order. Anyway, there was nothing tricky about the order, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Wang Lun took the order and saw that it was delivered to the procurement department yesterday. It contained the list content and needed to purchase crystal columns.

The fifty-meter-high crystal pillar can support the mid-stage foundation-building monks to attack with all their strength, twenty.

A thirty-five-meter-high crystal column...

Twenty meters high crystal column...

There are seventy in total.

Used for the construction of a crystal wall array.

The content is simple, but also very clear.

"Have you confirmed the supplier?" Wang Lun asked.

"Fifteen suppliers who have contacted the Chamber of Commerce and are waiting for their quotations. At the latest this evening, the quotations of each company will come out. At that time, Deacon Chen Liang will select the party with the best quotations and send someone to meet the supplier the next day to check the quality of the crystal column." The deputy replied, this was a process that had been established long ago.

At this moment, someone came in to report, saying that someone wanted to meet Vice President Wang.

"Let him come in." Wang Lun was curious who would be here.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked in. This man was not tall and had a loyal face.

Wang Lun

I have seen this person before. This person works around Zhao Yan.

"Vice President Wang, Vice President Zhao asked me to come over and be your deputy." The middle-aged man said respectfully, behaved humbly.

Wang Lun didn't expect Zhao Yan to be so careful. With an assistant, he could get familiar with the chamber of commerce more quickly.

As for whether this person will supervise and monitor himself, it doesn't matter. When it comes to his own secrets, he has ten thousand ways to keep the other party unaware of it.

"What's your name?" Wang Lun nodded.

"Zhang Da."

"Very good, then you will be my assistant for some time in the future." Wang Lun happened to need such a person.

The next step is naturally to ask Zhang Da to introduce the procurement, because this person has followed Zhao Yan for a long time and has some understanding of all the work in the internal affairs.

Seeing that the other party was a monk, Wang Lun gave the other party a jade slip to send him, but he didn't let the other party follow him all the time. He could just send him to contact him when he had something to do.

As noon approached, Wang Lun asked Zhang Da to leave and would come here again in the evening.

The luncheon was held in the largest restaurant of the Chamber of Commerce, as usual, Niu Shangming and six vice presidents. The meal was to welcome him. Wang Lun drank some wine at the banquet and chatted with Wu Zheng and Zhao Yan and laughed. Shi Yiqing said little, so he naturally didn't communicate much.

Li Hong was explicitly hostile to him and had no communication.

As for Liu Zhibo, he talked a lot at the dinner table and had talked with Wang Lun several times, but this person's mouth was really smelly and he couldn't speak.

The often sarcastic way of speaking made Liu Zhibo feel a little annoying.

However, Wang Lun also discovered a rule that Liu Zhibo is not always a sarcastic person, but only becomes sarcastic when it comes to expressing his opinions on something, and Liu Zhibo himself has an objection to this matter.

For example, when Wu Zheng asked himself if he was a Nascent Soul Cultivator at the dinner table, he replied "Yes". Wu Zheng, Zhao Yan and others would say that he was very powerful and had a strong talent, but Liu Zhibo's words sounded harsh. Liu Zhibo said that if he had enough cultivation resources, even if his talent was not as strong as himself, Liu Zhibo could become a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

So it’s not Wang Lun’s fault for misunderstanding. When he heard this, Wang Lun only thought that Liu Zhibo was jealous and made such a comment.

If Liu Zhibo wants to emphasize that talent is important, but also the factors of cultivation resources should be considered. Many cultivators have good talent because they lack cultivation resources and have little success in cultivation. Then, naturally, they can change to a more suitable method. With Liu Zhibo's ability, it is not difficult to do it.

Since Liu Zhibo likes to speak like this, Wang Lun naturally would not come over and chat with Liu Zhibo enthusiastically.

After the luncheon, Shi Yiqing said goodbye first and left, saying that he was going back to do things soon. Then the others left, and Zhao Yan asked about Zhang Da.

"Thank you, Vice President Zhao, Zhang Da is very reliable in doing things." Wang Lun felt that Zhang Da not only has work ability, but also has a good personality.

"That's good. Anyway, Vice President Wang wants him to do anything, just tell him." Zhao Yan fulfilled his duties. After all, President Niu asked her to help Wang Lun get to know the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible.

Wang Lun later returned to the procurement department, and Zhang Da was still there, talking to Chen Liang's deputy.

"Vice President Wang, seven suppliers have sent quotations for this batch of crystal columns." The deputy presented the quotation.
Chapter completed!
