Seeing the big boss placing orders so rashly, Vice President Gao couldn't help but give him a reminder.
Zhang Hao waved his hand towards the other party, then looked at the factory owner: "Wriston, you go prepare the contract first, we will sign it later."
"Okay, okay, I'll have someone take you to the conference room to have a rest. The contract will be finalized soon."
Everyone at the cannery breathed a sigh of relief.
After Wriston and others left, Vice President Gao couldn't bear it anymore: "Mr. Zhang, the order amount is too big. In my opinion, there is not much market for this kind of low-end canned food. We should think twice before we act?"
”
"Didn't I tell you before? I don't expect this store to make money. These cans are just for advertising. Imagine tens of thousands of tons of cans stacked together. Isn't it very visual impact?" p>
Zhang Hao explained forcefully.
"1.5 billion in advertising fees? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Not much. Compared to the total investment of 10 billion, it is not an exaggeration to spend 15% on advertising. Now is the era of Internet celebrity economy. We must hit the target with one hit and win by surprise.
Moreover, these cans are not really useless. Even if they cannot be sold in the future, they can still be given as gifts to guests, or simply donated to disaster areas. If the wool comes from the sheep, you will always make money back."
Ren Yulong suddenly understood: "Brother Hao, no wonder you want to buy such a cheap can. It turns out there are so many tricks in it, I learned it."
Young people have active minds and are easy to accept new ideas.
In contrast, although Vice President Gao was somewhat convinced, he was still full of doubts. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
It feels like being led by someone's nose.
However, through these days of getting along, he at least knows one thing, that is, the new boss is definitely not simple, and he is not a "reckless" person at all.
"Xiao Ren, you and Lao Ma can stay here for the time being and help me keep an eye on the cans. There are a lot of cans in this batch. It's best to produce one batch and transport one batch away."
Zhang Hao thought for a while and gave the order directly.
"Ah? I only brought a little luggage..."
Zhang Hao interrupted: "Don't worry, I will give you one month's salary in advance, plus a monthly business trip allowance of 20,000 yuan. If you need anything, just buy it."
"Thank you boss!"
Ren Yulong was immediately overjoyed.
Darling, my salary has doubled again.
If you follow the new boss, you will indeed have a bright future.
Vice President Gao on the side showed an envious look, but when he thought about the position of the general manager of the mall, he immediately put his thoughts away. A person must have a long-term vision.
Next, everyone discussed the future planning of the mall and the specific operation plan. Everyone expressed their opinions, and the scene was very lively.
This discussion lasted half an hour.
Until Wriston hurried over with a lawyer and a contract.
"Zhang, the contract has been printed out."
"Lawyer Smith, please excuse me."
For the sake of caution, Zhang Hao also hired a famous barrister from the Big Apple City. He just arrived this morning and the time was very accurate.
After detailed inspection by Smith's lawyer, no problems were found.
However, Zhang Hao took advantage of the situation and made a small request, requiring that the liquidated damages in the contract be increased tenfold, reaching an astonishing three billion yuan.
No matter how high it is, it’s a little too deliberate.
Wriston had no objections to this, and was even happy to see the results. He was even more afraid that Zhang Hao would withdraw the order midway.
The previous batch of unfinished goods had caused him great harm.
After the signing was completed, Zhang Hao tried to ask:
"Wriston, can you advance the delivery time by one month? Six months is too long. I can pay an extra bonus. I don't think so. For every day of delivery ahead of schedule, I will receive a bonus of 300,000.
”
As mentioned before, there will be signs of an eruption of Sulfonite Volcano in early September, and there will be a wave of panic buying. He is afraid that the other party will take the opportunity to break the contract.
Volcanic eruptions are force majeure factors.
The other party has every excuse to break the contract.
Liquidated damages are not a panacea.
"No problem, as long as the raw materials can keep up, we guarantee delivery one month in advance."
Liston patted his chest hard.
Although the profit from this order was not huge, it was small profit but quick turnover, which was enough for them to take a breather.
And if you deliver the goods one month in advance, you can get an extra 10 million in profit, which is pretty good.
"Then please."
Zhang Hao reached out and shook the opponent tightly.
At this point, the stocking plan is more than half completed.
As for the remaining 1.5 billion, he plans to wait until August or September before taking action. At that time, he will take advantage of the panic buying and policy changes to directly bring back a boatload of food.
Although there is no way to maximize profits by doing so.
But at least it won’t arouse others’ suspicion.
The most important thing is that grain trade is different from general trade, and not everyone can get involved. The procedures are very troublesome, so it is better to be more stable.
……
Time flies, and half a month has passed quickly.
On April 15, Zhang Hao returned to Huicheng.
The reason why he stayed for such a long time is very simple. He did a big sweep on the other side of the ocean and bought a lot of food, drink and daily necessities.
The first was a variety of bacon, dried seafood, ham, milk powder, cheese, American ginseng and edible oil and other shelf-stable items, with a total purchase of more than 100,000 kilograms;
The second is clothing for all seasons, and I purchased a total of 500 sets at one time, most of which were warm winter clothes;
Next are 1,000 boxes of red wine, 1,000 boxes of foreign wine, and 800 catties of various teas;
In addition, he also bought a second-hand bulk carrier of 200,000 tons. Due to the sluggish shipping market, he only spent more than 100 million.
It’s a small leak.
This freighter is anchored under the name of Guangdong Shipping Co., Ltd., and is usually operated by the shipping company. The two parties divide the income according to the agreement.
Of course, if necessary, you can take back the boat at any time as long as you inform us in advance.
It is equivalent to spending money to buy a priority right to use it.
Zhang Hao is very satisfied with this. The main reason why he bought this freighter is to facilitate the transportation of grain. Once August and September enter, it will be difficult to find a ship.
Firstly, he has no background, and secondly, it doesn’t matter, he will definitely not be able to steal from others, so he can only prepare in advance.
Otherwise, you can buy food but not be able to transport it back.
That would be embarrassing.
After returning to Huicheng, Zhang Hao immediately rented a large cold storage of 2,000 square meters in the largest logistics park in Huicheng. Summer is about to begin, and with the long-term high temperature here in Huicheng, canned goods are prone to problems. After renting the warehouse, the first batch of goods arrived soon.
The bulk of it was the batch of canned goods, which totaled more than 3,200 sets, totaling 2,500 tons, plus some of the supplies he purchased.
Next, it is estimated that a batch of goods will arrive at the port every half month, and this will continue until the end of September, and it may even be delayed until October.
