Early that morning, Zhang Jing received a call from Jiang Shanlin. The 27 cultural relics that Jiang had requested to be acquired had all been purchased. Of course, the cost was considerable, especially since several of the relics were quite valuable. It took a lot of effort to negotiate, and Zhang Jing spent a total of 1250 million yuan.

It must be said that Jiang Shanlin is a rather "sensible" professional manager. In order to avoid suspicion, he handled the acquisition of these cultural relics very carefully in terms of details. He not only provided the seller's quotation, but also provided the internal appraisal price given by his own appraiser. This price is generally based on the transaction price of similar cultural relics on the market at that time.

Chapter 297 Taking a Chance

Furthermore, because the foundation operates an independent financial system, a representative from the financial department is always involved throughout the entire process of negotiating the purchase of cultural relics. The entire acquisition process is also documented in the form of meeting minutes. Finally, the acquisition price is compared with the market price again, and the final result is included in the performance evaluation of the procurement personnel.

Jiang Shanlin standardized and formalized the entire process of purchasing cultural relics. Overall, although there was still a possibility of loopholes being exploited, Zhang Jing was quite satisfied with the current situation. After all, in any large company, procurement is the department with the most shady dealings. As for whether any problems could be completely eliminated, Zhang Jing felt that the process could be gradually optimized in practice. As long as potential losses could be controlled within a certain range, he wouldn't worry too much. After all, too much purity leaves no room for error, unless he was truly prepared to handle everything personally.
