In the next few days, Ouyang Xue no longer visited Liu Gen at the team's hotel, but only made a few phone calls to ask about the game.
One evening a week later, Liu Gen received a call from Xiangzi from Nanhai.
"Brother Gen, it seems that the cattle and sheep business can't be done." Xiangzi said on the phone: "The prices offered by several meat joint factories in Nanhai are very low. Excluding the freight and the 100% given to the political commissar's brother,
Fifteen commissions, coupled with the loss of cattle and sheep during transportation, there is almost no money to be made... I really don’t know that the price of beef and mutton sold in the market is so different from the price of live livestock.
It’s big, almost twice the price difference.”
Yanagi heard Xiangzi's tone on the phone, which was obviously a helpless one, but from the last sentence, "nearly twice the price difference," he heard a business opportunity, and said with a smile: "I can't sell live livestock.
Then let’s kill the cattle and sheep and sell them for meat, and the furs can also be sold for money.”
"But our Shiweitian Company does not have a slaughtering certificate. Even if we get a slaughtering certificate, we don't have the space and equipment. Just building a cold storage will cost a lot of money!" Xiangzi seemed to have thought about slaughtering and selling.
thing.
"Don't worry, wait until I get back." Yanagi Gen really didn't want to give up this opportunity to make money, but what Xiangzi said was true. There must be a large slaughterhouse and refrigeration equipment.
"But Lao Jia said that the brother of the political commissar over at the farm is urging me. If we don't sign the purchase and sale agreement as soon as possible, someone else may be the first to do it."
Liu Gen pondered for a while and then said: "You asked Lao Jia to find a way to delay it for a month. I think the farm political commissar brother should know that this commission is not so easy to get, so he should think of a way."
"That's all we have to do." Xiangzi finished the first thing, and then said: "Brother Gen, the decoration work of the branch is almost completed, and the training of clerks is also going on normally. However, those who learn to bake buns from Hao Qiang may
I won’t be able to learn the craft for a while, maybe I can find someone from my hometown..."
"Okay, you and Chen Hao can discuss it. There is also the matter of purchasing a stove, and we should do it as soon as possible. If necessary, let Lao Jia go back to his hometown, and by the way, we can implement the cattle and sheep business with the farm... Well, you can do it
He is equipped with a mobile phone so that he can be contacted in time if anything happens."
"The opening time of the branch will still be August 15th, no change? Will you be able to come back then?" Xiangzi asked again.
When Liu Gen left Nanhai, he asked Chen Hao to officially open the business on August 15th, but now he feels that it is too hasty. After the clerks are trained, they should be given a few days to adapt to the new store's operation process: "Push it back three days.
It will open at noon on August 18th, and I can rush back to Nanhai on the 17th."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Gen lay on the bed and thought about buying and selling cattle and sheep, but he seemed to have entered a dead end. He only wanted to open a slaughterhouse by himself. He thought about where the money for this investment would come from. He made a calculation in his mind.
This amount of money is not a small amount, just to purchase equipment will cost a lot of money. Just when he was thinking about it but still couldn't make up his mind, Ouyang Xue called.
"Liu Gen, did you win or lose today's game?" Ouyang Xue and her mother were on vacation in China. Rather than thinking about the victory or defeat of the Nanhai Medical University team, Ouyang Xue was using this excuse to talk to Liu Gen on the phone.
Talking, almost every time Liu Gen and the others finish a game, they will call.
"If we lose, we are out. The remaining games are all about fighting for honor." Liu Gen told Ouyang Xue that Nanhai Medical University could not participate in the finals of the National Games.
"Then when will you return to Nanhai?"
"There is the last game on the 16th. We bought a train ticket for the early morning of the 17th to return to Nanhai." Liu Gen was talking on the phone with Ouyang Xue, but he was thinking about the slaughterhouse in his heart.
"Mom and I can't go back until the 20th. It seems we can only meet at school. My dad mentioned on the phone yesterday that he wanted to see you again before you return to Nanhai. If you have time, give my dad a call
A phone call."
Ouyang Xue's words immediately reminded Liu Gen, yes, why not ask Ouyang Xiong about the slaughterhouse? Maybe he can point out a clear path for him.
There was no competition the next day. After breakfast, Liu Gen called Ouyang Xiong and was invited by Ouyang Xiong to visit the silk production line of Jincan Group. Liu Gen took a taxi and arrived at the silk production base of Jincan Group in the High-tech Zone. Ouyang Xiong
He didn't have time, so he asked a male secretary to accompany Liu Gen and walk around the factory. At noon, Ouyang Xiong invited Liu Gen to have dinner in the company's employee restaurant.
"Uncle, I have something to ask you about business." Liu Gen sat facing Ouyang Xiong, sitting on the tables and chairs in the restaurant to dine with the group's employees. He no longer looked like he had gone to 'Ouyang Mansion' that day.
So restrained.
"Oh... tell me, maybe I can't help you." Ouyang Xiong seemed to be very happy that Liu Gen could take the initiative to talk to him about business matters.
"That's it..." Liu Gen told Ouyang Xiong in detail about the cattle and sheep business that Jia Hekai had mentioned, and honestly told Ouyang Xiong his current difficulties and his desire to complete the deal.
"Oh... this is a big deal for Shiweitian and you!" Ouyang Xiong said with great interest: "You have figured out the market situation clearly, and your idea is also very good. Sales after slaughtering,
The profit is definitely much higher than that of selling live products, but Liu Gen, you have overlooked one link, and that is transportation. If you transport cattle and sheep to Nanhai for slaughter, the cost and loss of transportation will destroy your high profit.
Eat it."
"So, uncle, you don't agree with this deal?" Liu Gen wanted to know Ouyang Xiong's thoughts right away.
"No, this is the quickest big deal for your original capital accumulation. It should be done, and it should be big!" Ouyang Xiong waved his hand and said: "You can try to cooperate with the meat factory in your provincial capital city. You don't need to sell cattle and sheep.
Ship it to Nanhai, but hand it over to the meat factory to help you slaughter it. In business, this is called outsourcing... In this way, you save the funds for new factories and equipment, and only need to pay the other party a slaughtering fee, or use
The skins are used to offset the slaughtering costs. Finally, the slaughtered and frozen beef and mutton are transported to Nanhai for sale. Of course, your Shiweitian trademark must be printed on the packaging. This is a good opportunity to promote the company..."
Liu Gen was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had been thinking about it for most of the night. He made a decision in just one or two minutes and explained it in detail. He even wanted to use the channels of selling beef and mutton to promote food.
I thought of everything for heaven.
Liu Gen admired Ouyang Xiong so much. No wonder he could accomplish such a big thing.
"Actually, the method I told you is also a way of capital operation..."
"A white wolf with empty gloves." Liu Gen answered.
Ouyang Xiong laughed loudly: "Yes, it's just a white wolf with empty gloves!"
"I understand, thank you uncle." Liu Gen thanked him sincerely.
"Liu Gen, if you complete this beef and mutton business, within two years, the name of your company Shiweitian will be a household name in Nanhai. By then, your store's business will be even more prosperous and expanded.
The speed will soon be on the fast track, and when the time comes, it will be impossible for you to stop." Ouyang Xiong finally told Liu Gen.
After getting the scripture from Ouyang Xiong, Liu Gen returned to the hotel and immediately called Xiangzi, asking him to send Jia Hekai back to his hometown in the provincial capital immediately to negotiate cooperation matters with the local qualified meat factory. He then thought that Xia Yang's father might
If he can help, he asked Jia Hekai to go to the provincial capital and find Xia Tian, so that he could get information about all the meat joint factories as soon as possible and select one or two from them to discuss cooperation. At the same time, he asked Chen Hao to find out the beef and mutton meat production in Nanhai City as soon as possible.
Wholesale and retail channels and entry criteria.
Yanagi made a decision so quickly, which surprised Xiangzi and others.
When Chen Hao listened to everything Xiangzi Liu Gen arranged on the phone, he said loudly: "Brother Gen has achieved the highest level of a businessman with no money in his hands but a rich heart in such a short period of time! We are not following the wrong person!"
"Haha... I should have known that Brother Gen could do great things!" Jia Hekai said, "I cut his left cheek. Not only did he not hold any grudge, but he also helped me to absolve myself of the blame. Not counting my father's surgery fee, every day
For months, in my name, I saved my own money and sent living expenses to my sister Hehuan... These benevolent actions show how broad-minded Brother Gen is as a person. Even if his business fails in the future, he will live on the streets with Brother Gen.
I won’t leave him even if he begs for food..."
"Old Jia, you will set off tomorrow. After arriving in the provincial capital, you will first find Xia Yang's father, Xia Tian, to choose the slaughtering and meat joint factory to cooperate with, and then sign an agreement with the political commissar's brother to purchase cattle and sheep on the farm. If you need money, please call
Give it to Mr. Chen. In addition, we must secure vehicles that can be transported under refrigerated conditions. Once slaughtering and sales begin in the autumn, we must not run out of stock..." Xiangzi began to assign tasks to Jia Hekai.
"However, we still lack cash flow." Chen Hao said with concern: "If the slaughtering fees and transportation costs need to be paid in advance, we will have no money."
"Mr. Chen, don't worry. Brother Gen will definitely have his own way to raise money." Xiangzi has no doubts about Liu Gen's ability. He doesn't think about cash flow, and he doesn't know what cash flow is in the industry.
He never asked Chen Hao how important cash flow was.
When Liu Gen returned to Nanhai, Jia He had already found a state-owned slaughtering and meat joint factory that was about to close down through Xia Tian's help. In addition to using the skins to offset most of the slaughtering fees, he only needed to pay a small part of the fees and did not need to advance funds, but
The other party asked for monthly settlement. He also signed an agreement with the labor camp and paid 200,000 yuan in advance. He only had to wait until October to hand over the cattle and sheep to Jia Hekai for transportation to the provincial capital for slaughter. Jia Hekai had negotiated the settlement of the fees.
It is to pay off the first batch when you get the second batch of goods. In this way, the cash flow that Chen Hao mentioned will have an opportunity to ease.
At noon on August 18th, Shiweitian’s first branch officially opened with great success.
There were only two people who came to congratulate him, one was Wen Hanmei and the other was Li Jiahe.
