The past few days were in vain. He had to go to the Jiajiayue Supermarket headquarters tomorrow. He couldn't buy a car at this time.
Besides, considering the capital turnover problem for the later purchase of goods, Cao Shujie felt that every penny spent at this stage had to be broken up and spent. Every penny saved was worth a penny. Buying a car at this time was sheer nonsense.
Yiling City is not close to Haicheng. To go to Jiajiayue Supermarket headquarters, it would be inappropriate for Cao Shujie to go there by himself.
That night, he called Song Baoming and asked him to take a taxi to Yiling City early tomorrow morning, and then drive him to Haicheng, a small city near the sea.
At the same time, he also called his wife Cheng Xiaolin and told her that he was going to Haicheng tomorrow.
"Shujie, please pay attention to your safety and don't drink too much outside." Cheng Xiaolin warned him.
Cao Shujie agreed and told his wife that a driver would drive.
…
Song Baoming came to Xuemeng Food Factory on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. So far, he has been working for more than a month and he is 120% satisfied and recognized with this factory.
Not to mention anything else, Xuemeng Food Factory pays wages on the last day of each month or the 1st of the following month. If it falls on a Saturday, weekend or holiday, the whole month's wages will be paid in advance. How can the bus company he worked for before be paid this time?
Even if the salary is paid before the 15th of the month, it will be delayed for another month during the off-season...
Moreover, after he came to work here, his insurance was renewed the same month he joined the company, and his salary was more than when he was a driver.
Based on these two points alone, even if Song Baoming is forced to leave now, he will not leave.
My gratitude to Cao Shujie cannot be described in words, and I am naturally more devoted to this job.
Cao Shujie called and Song Baoming didn't complain at all.
When he told his wife that night, she repeatedly told him not to delay the boss's affairs.
At around 5 o'clock in the morning on the second day, Song Baoming took the earliest urban and rural bus to Pingyuan County, and then took the city bus to Yiling City at around 6 o'clock. When he arrived at Yiling City, it was only a little past 7:30.
.
When he got off the bus, he called Cao Shujie, asked for Cao Shujie's detailed residential address, and then took a taxi there.
Interestingly, when he was taking the bus from Qingshi Town to Pingyuan County, the driver was his very close colleague. When he was asked about his current work situation, the complex and wonderful expression on his face made Song Baoming feel sad for him.
, and also advised him to apply for a job at Xuemeng Food Factory.
When Cao Shujie saw Song Baoming, he was surprised and asked him if he took a taxi from Qingshi Town?
After Song Baoming finished explaining his itinerary, Cao Shujie said nothing, but in his heart he recognized the driver who had been recruited halfway.
To be precise, bosses often value work attitude more than work ability.
"Master Song hasn't eaten yet. I happen to have two tickets here. You and I go have some food together and we'll leave after we finish." Cao Shujie said this.
The standard room he stayed in had two buffet breakfast quotas.
Song Baoming felt that the boss was really nice, and he couldn't believe it while eating.
After eating, Cao Shujie checked out, and Song Baoming drove Cao Shujie towards Haicheng.
Along the way, Cao Shujie and Song Baoming chatted. He also said that he would have a few bites in the service area at noon and have a good meal after arriving in Haicheng in the afternoon.
This trip covered more than 600 kilometers, and we stopped twice to rest for a while. It was already past 5 pm when we arrived at Haicheng.
At this time, many companies had just finished get off work. Cao Shujie thought about calling Xu Jiao and chatting with him in advance.
Even after making two phone calls, the other party didn't answer the call. Cao Shujie thought that the other party might be busy, or he might have noticed that it was an unfamiliar number and ignored him.
He didn't make the third call and planned to go directly to visit early tomorrow morning.
At almost 7 o'clock in the evening, Cao Shujie and Song Baoming found a place to stay. While they were having dinner, his cell phone rang. When he looked at the number, it was Xu Jiao who called him back.
As soon as the connection was connected, I heard the other party asking: "Hello, I am Xu Jiao, who are you?"
Xu Jiao spoke neither quickly nor slowly, and you could tell from his tone that he was very calm.
Cao Shujie then introduced himself.
Xu Jiao's attitude became more relaxed after hearing that Cao Shujie introduced it to He Wei, the store manager of Jiajiayue Supermarket Five Star Department Store in Yiling City.
"This is the difference between someone and no one." Cao Shujie sighed in his heart.
"Mr. Cao, I'm really sorry, I was busy in a meeting just now." Xu Jiao said.
He said: "How about this? Mr. Cao will come to our company tomorrow morning and we can meet and chat."
This was what Cao Shujie was waiting for, and he was not in a hurry to invite him to dinner now.
We haven't met him yet, so even if he doesn't care about the money for food, people may not dare to believe him 100%.
After Cao Shujie and Song Baoming had dinner, they returned to their accommodation and went to their own rooms. Cao Shujie called his wife and told her the good news that they had contacted Xu Jiao.
Cheng Xiaolin also teased him: "Shujie, you are such a big boss, why are you doing business in person?"
"Nonsense, I'm just trying to open up the market for our company's products," Cao Shujie said.
"Besides, their annual revenue is nearly 10 billion. It would be good if our factory could have a revenue of tens of millions this year. I, the boss, are worthless now." Cao Shujie understood very clearly, and he was not confused at all.
For example, if he invests in Bitcoin, no matter how much money he can make in the stock market, it is something he picked up along the way. He can make money without thinking, but the journey in the past is gone.
And his orchards and factories, which seem to be low-income industries now, are the careers for which he will strive for his whole life in the future.
"Okay, don't wrong yourself anyway. At worst, I won't do it anymore. Selling fruits for several million a year and selling cattle for tens of thousands a year are enough for us." Cheng Xiaolin thought very clearly.
"Besides, I'm making money now," she finally added.
——
On Wednesday morning, Cao Shujie got up early and took a shower. After putting on his clothes, he went to have breakfast with Song Baoming, who had already gotten up and was waiting.
After half past eight, thinking that Xu Jiao should have gone to work, he told Song Baoming the address of Jiajiayue Supermarket headquarters, while he closed his eyes and meditated in the back seat.
Not long after, Song Baoming shouted softly: "Boss, we are here."
"So fast." Cao Shujie opened his eyes in surprise, looked forward, and the three characters "Jiajiayue" came into his eyes.
"This city is not big." Song Baoming explained with a smile.
Cao Shujie couldn't describe what he felt when he saw Xu Jiao.
He is very thin and has a head full of white hair, but his face does not look like that of an old man.
Cao Shujie guessed that his age should be around 45 years old.
He always had a smile on his face, making people less wary of him.
"Mr. Cao, I have been waiting for you this morning." Xu Jiao smiled and stretched out his hand.
When the two shook hands, Cao Shujie also said: "Manager Xu, it's too troublesome for you."
"Mr. Cao, tea or coffee?" Xu Jiao stood up to make tea for Cao Shujie.
Cao Shujie stopped the other party: "Manager Xu, just drink water."
After a while of pleasantries, the two of them got down to business.
Cao Shujie gave a complete introduction to Xuemeng Food Factory, and at the same time handed the preserved fruit sample he brought to Xu Jiao.
Looking at the exquisitely packaged snack in his hand, Xu Jiao felt as if he had seen it before somewhere.
He didn't ask in a hurry. He put the preserved fruit in his hand and turned it over and over. He also tore open the package and took out the preserved fruit inside. Looking at it, he remembered that when he was watching a movie on Youku two nights ago, he seemed to be watching a movie.
He had seen an advertising video for this thing, and he remembered that the video was quite humorous.
"Mr. Cao, have you done any advertising online?" Xu Jiao asked.
Thinking of the advertisement he had seen on Youku, Xu Jiao recalled more details.
He asked: "Mr. Cao, has this preserved fruit been advertised on Youku? I remember that the video broadcaster is quite famous, what is his name orchard?"
"Mengmeng Orchard." Cao Shujie said.
"Yes, yes, that's the name."
"Mengmeng Orchard, Xuemeng Food Factory?" Xu Jiao was not stupid, he immediately realized something.
Cao Shujie nodded: "That's our family's orchard, the orchard named after my daughter."
"Including the factory is also my daughter's name." Cao Shujie said this without any ambiguity.
It seemed like the start was much smoother than he imagined.
Xu Jiao looked at the gadget in his hand and asked: "Mr. Cao, is it convenient for me to tell you about your order in the Taobao store?"
"On the first day, the number of orders was less than 1,000. On the second day, the number of orders exceeded 3,000. On the third day, the number of orders remained at more than 3,000. On the fourth day..."
Cao Shujie knows it by heart. Compared with the same product on Taobao, their product has a lot of orders. Some brands of preserved fruit have less Taobao orders in a month than theirs does in a day.
Xu Jiao also understands the meaning behind these data.
His eyes lit up and he asked: "Mr. Cao, what is the name of your Taobao store?"
"Xuemeng Fruit Shop!" Cao Shujie said.
Xu Jiao blocked Cao Shujie's face and went directly to Taobao to search. He saw the store's orders and the store's reviews.
Xu Jiao also knew that many stores were placing fake orders, but after reading a circle of comments, Xu Jiao understood from his own experience that these orders should be real.
Many people left messages in the comment area from Youku.
Those who place orders will definitely not say that.
"Mr. Cao, you just opened last Friday?" Xu Jiao carefully looked at some information about Xuemeng Food Factory and discovered this fact.
Seeing Cao Shujie nodding, Xu Jiao realized this time that this product might really be a popular snack product.
For products that have a market, this is the goal of Xu Jiao and his purchasing team.
However, when it came to talking about the specific products entering the market, Cao Shujie saw his expertise.
Xu Jiao didn't give in just because he was introduced by He Wei. All the expenses were quite high, and after careful calculation, the various expenses were really not low, and there were so many tricks.
For example, entry fees, terminal fees, stacking fees, annual festival fees, store celebration fees, and year-end rebates, etc., which Cao Shujie has never heard of before, are all detailed in detail.
And that’s just in terms of cost.
If the products of Xuemeng Food Factory want to enter the unified direct procurement system of Jiajiayue Supermarket, they must provide relevant qualifications.
Do you think qualifications alone are enough?
According to Xu Jiao, they will also invite third-party certification agencies to audit and certify Cao Shujie's Xuemeng Food Factory in relevant aspects. Only Xuemeng Food Factory's various links meet the audit conditions, and their product hygiene licenses meet the corresponding requirements.
Only after meeting the standards can it enter all supermarkets owned by Jiajiayue and eventually be placed on the shelves.
There will be no rest tomorrow and we will continue to work every day.
