It all started when the production line resumed in early March.
That day, Lu Wenli, head of production and operation of Shanghai Zhonghua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., went to the warehouse to take stock, and when she looked at the numbers, she was suddenly anxious: the menthol reserve showed 12 tons.
In previous years, this reserve was normal. But this year is different, the epidemic spread abroad, and India, a major exporter of menthol, announced a "lockdown" on March 25. The existing raw materials are only enough for production for more than a month, where will the raw material gap after April be filled?
In a hurry, Lu Wenli sought help from the Shanghai Changning District Taxation Bureau.
Jiang Aijie, director of the Risk Management Bureau of the Changning District Taxation Bureau, listened and thought of a method: since foreign supply is blocked, use the "National Taxpayer Supply Chain Inquiry Function" to see if you can find a domestic menthol supplier.
Searching for the keyword "menthol" on the cloud platform, Jiang Aijie's computer suddenly jumped out of more than 500 enterprise information, spanning trade, manufacturing and other industries.
When is this going to be found?
However, this matter is not difficult to defeat the experienced Jiang Aijie. "The demand for Zhonghua Pharmaceutical is large, the invoice amount is too small to be considered, and 100,000 yuan is the entry threshold." Jiang Aijie moved her brain.
After some screening, 3 suppliers located in Shanghai were finally locked. However, after docking with the other party's tax bureau, the confident Jiang Aijie was a little frustrated: the raw materials of these three suppliers also depended on imports, and they also faced the risk of supply interruption.
In order to solve the dilemma of enterprises, Jiang Aijie decided to readjust the search strategy: commercial and trade enterprises are in the middle of the supply chain and may also rely on overseas imports. Then, simply find the manufacturing industry at the source of the industrial chain!
Jiang Aijie used "professional skills": compare and view the "input invoice" and "output invoice", if the name of the goods is the same, and there is a price difference between the two types of invoices, it means that the enterprise is engaged in buying and selling commercial enterprises. After several twists and turns, the information summary table of 8 Anhui menthol manufacturing companies was finally sent to Lu Wenli's mobile phone.
No, on April 27, the raw material menthol from Anhui was continuously shipped to the factory of Shanghai Zhonghua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
