Chapter 284 Leather Acquisition Annual Incentive Plan

That night, Yue Feng stayed at his girlfriend’s house until almost nine o’clock before returning home.
I had not had a complete rest from the fatigue of the journey, and in the evening I drank half a pound of wine with my father-in-law. When I got home, I soaked my feet and went straight to sleep on the kang without even pouring out the water.

He slept soundly that morning. The crowing of the rooster in the alley did not wake Yue Feng up. It was not until eight o’clock in the morning that the dogs in the house could no longer hold their pee and started whining and scratching at the door. Yue Feng heard the noise and got up.

I am used to sleeping at home. This good sleep swept away all the tiredness of the past few days and made me feel refreshed!

His mother felt sorry for her son being tired after a long journey and didn’t even call Yuefeng for breakfast. Yuefeng took the dog to the thatched house to get some water. When he returned to the house, his mother heard that her son had woken up and added some more fire to the pot.

“Have you slept enough? Are you hungry? I’ve saved some food for you!”

“I’m hungry! Eat something, I have things to do today!”

“If it’s not urgent, just rest at home for two days! Being out for so many days, going up the mountain every day, even the strongest man can’t stand it!”

The mother felt sorry for her son and spoke softly while touching Yue Feng’s angular face.

“Hehe, this matter really can’t be delayed! The cages for these sables are too small. There is no problem with short-term breeding and transportation, but if you want to raise the sables for a long time and raise them well, you have to work hard on the cages!
I’ll ride my bike into town later to inquire about the market price of large hides, and then buy some cage boards and put the new cages in order as soon as possible!”

“Okay, let’s eat first! I made you some steamed egg sauce! I’ll bring it to you right away!”

Soon, Yue Feng finished his breakfast with the careful service of his mother. After eating and drinking his fill, he pushed his bicycle out of the house and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

On the other side, at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Li and her colleague Mao Xiaomin, after finishing their daily cleaning in the morning, sat behind the counter, eating melon seeds and chatting, with nothing to do.

As the outdoor temperature continued to drop, the flow of people at the supply and marketing cooperative dropped significantly after the winter. Li Li and Mao Xiaomin did not have much work to do every day, so they had a lot of free time.

Although they were free, they both felt a little upset.

The superiors conveyed a new document on the fur collection and reward system. Affected by the increase in the country’s demand for fur exports to earn foreign exchange, supply and marketing units at all levels were required to increase their efforts to purchase fur materials.

The original acquisition plan set at the beginning of the year remains unchanged, but the additional rewards added to the original plan are extremely generous.

Originally, Li Li and her colleagues, and even the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative, had basically given up hope. They were lucky enough to be able to complete the original purchase guarantee task and not be criticized by name during the meeting.

But this new bonus is too tempting.

Let me put it this way, if the acquisition task can be completed in full, the bonus that goes to the grassroots tellers will be enough to equal half a year’s salary.

“Xiao Li! The price of leather materials has gone up again! This is today’s purchase price!”

The two were eating melon seeds at the counter when the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative pushed the door open from behind and walked in.

“Brother Wang, how much has it increased?”

Manager Wang held a piece of paper with the table in his hand and read it with his head down: “The price of common types will increase by 7 points from the original price! The price of top-grade perfect fur will increase by 10%, and the price of rare fur lynx, leopard, big fur, and top-grade perfect fur will increase by 15%!

In addition, the rating standards for leather purchases are required to be lowered as appropriate! “

“If I had known the price would go up so much, I should have left the skins to the hunter who came to ask about the price the day before yesterday! Those were three big skins! With those three skins, our supply and marketing cooperative will have completed its basic purchasing task this year!” Li Li said with some regret.

“I’ll ask him when I see him later, maybe he hasn’t sold it!
By the way, Xiao Li, why haven’t I seen your brother recently? Is there a conflict? Didn’t he say last time that he still had some leather to sell?
This price increase is to meet the foreign exchange earning plan before New Year’s Day. According to convention, the price will definitely fall back when the time comes! This has happened in previous years!” Manager Wang continued.

“Are you talking about Xiaofeng? It seems he went on a long trip. He mentioned it to me when he came back last time, but I don’t know if he’s back yet!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and handsome young man pushed open the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.

“Why am I trying to make my ears burn? Who is talking about me?” Yue Feng walked in with a grin, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

“Ah! Xiaofeng, you’re back! Just in time, there’s some good news, a document just arrived!”

Li Li was quite surprised to see her adopted brother. She took the document from Manager Wang and handed it directly to Yue Feng.

“What is this?” Yue Feng was a little confused.

“Take a look! Last time you said you still had some leather to work on, and you’ve raised the price!”

Hearing the greeting, Yue Feng lowered his head and took a careful look, secretly making a plan in his mind.

This price increase is really impressive!
This kind of periodic temporary price increase is usually triggered with a small probability when there is a significant gap from the export target by the end of the year. It is indeed a good opportunity to sell leather.

What does this mean? The relevant country’s export departments will formulate a general export plan every year and sign some contracts with relevant downstream companies.

However, purchasing furs is not like growing crops. Sometimes the year is good and you can harvest more, and sometimes the year is bad and the amount of furs will also be affected.

In order to meet the contracted quantity, when there is a gap, the price will be increased significantly temporarily to strive to meet the contracted quantity. It is rare to be able to take advantage of the country, and sometimes it may not happen once in several years.

Judging from the overall fur purchasing price trend, the purchase price has been rising year by year, but as far as Yue Feng can remember, the annual increase is at most 5% to 10%.

The opportunity to directly increase the price of rare furs by 15% like now is truly rare.

“Wow, it has increased a lot! How is the rating standard lowered at your discretion? Ordinary level one, sold as perfect level one?” Yue Feng joked after reading it.

“This discretion does not refer to quality, quality cannot be compromised, but size can!

Previously, only male skins that met the required size could be counted as perfect top-grade leathers, but now female skins that meet the required size can also be counted! There is not much impact on other things!”

Li Li’s business ability is unquestionable, and she immediately answered her brother’s questions.

“How big is our gap? Apart from the price on the document, are there any other benefits?” Yue Feng did not ask Li Li this time. Instead, he looked at Manager Wang while speaking.

“Why, you still have a lot of leather in your hands?”

Manager Wang listened carefully and knew there was a way, and he immediately became interested.

“Indeed, there is some. It is the accumulation of our hunting team since the beginning of winter! If I can sell it at a high price, I can mention it to our captain! He has a familiar sales channel. Without the price advantage, I can’t ask for it!”

Yue Feng, the black-hearted businessman, came online instantly and spoke nonsense without hesitation.

“If there are enough large hides or lynx, the price can be negotiated!

We are all acquaintances, so I won’t talk nonsense with you. Our supply and marketing cooperative also has a commission of about 5% of the revenue. In order to get the bonus, I can make the decision to give up this part!”

Manager Wang spent a lot of money this time. In order to get the generous bonus, he took out all the commission from the supply and marketing cooperative’s revenue.

Just from here, we can see the advantages and disadvantages of the current acquisition system.

Revenue commission is the profit earned by the unit, which is integrated into the annual profit of the entire supply and marketing cooperative.

As a manager, he has a certain degree of autonomy, but it is very difficult for him to get the money into his hands. Even if he can do it, he will still take great risks.

However, giving up this profit and striving to complete the acquisition task assigned by the superiors is completely compliant and legal. At that time, the bonus will be real money that will fall on your head. In comparison, this is much more cost-effective.

Yue Feng knew about this kind of trick in the supply and marketing cooperative when he was communicating with Li Li before. Now that Manager Wang said it to him in person, Yue Feng was tempted.

Five percent, if it is a weasel skin, it is not a lot of money, but a big skin can easily cost hundreds of dollars, after adding up all the increases, it is very considerable.

“Okay! I’ll come back tomorrow! I’ll buy some leather bags that are a little less moist. Is that okay? Some of the leather bags might not be quite as good as they should be!”

“Big leather? Or what kind of leather?”

“Big skins, not many! Probably about ten! Didn’t my sister say last time that we were short of big skins to complete the planned tasks? I took it seriously and got some through various channels!”

“More than a dozen!!!”

Hearing this number, the three people in the supply and marketing cooperative hall all gasped.

Mink fur is the crown of the international fur market and is a very precious and rare item.

Before there were additional incentives for the purchase plan, for such a large supply and marketing cooperative, if the normal purchase plan for a year was five passes, ten skins would be enough to get the full bonus.

If you really can’t get enough, other items such as lynx skins can also be purchased at a certain ratio.

Even if this purchase incentive was temporarily introduced and the new plan was issued to each supply and marketing cooperative, only 8 more skins would be collected. This has already made the front-line sales staff feel under great pressure.

But Yue Feng is different. He just opens his mouth and talks a lot. If this is true, one person can complete most of the motivational tasks.

“Well, I’ll go back and do some statistics. For single large leathers, there seem to be 11 or 12 sheets! However, a few of them have just been rolled into tubes. The quality of the leather is fine, but the humidity may be slightly above the standard!” Yue Feng said truthfully.

“As long as the quality of the leather is good, we can also bring in the Xuancheng tubes! There is still more than a month left before the deadline for handing in the task, so there is still time!

“Sure, Xiaoyue, I didn’t expect your hunting team to be so powerful! I just don’t know the quality of the leather. It would be great if we could have a few top-quality, perfect leathers!”

“Oh? Are there any quality requirements for this thing? What are the requirements?” Yue Feng’s heart moved after hearing what Manager Wang said.
