Two days ago, Xu Sheng, the financial manager of Jiamei Fireworks, was sent by Gu Jia to the tea factory to do a financial audit. When he got the account books and checked them, he was shocked. The accounts were in a mess and full of loopholes, and there were still several foreign debts outstanding.
return.
I also accidentally discovered that the tea factory's organic certification had expired for half a year... Now I was in big trouble.
Once the organic certification expires, if you want to renew the certification, you will have to go through a three-year organic planting conversion period.
During these three years, chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides, antibiotics and other contraband cannot be used... Unless the production cost is reduced, the tea that can be produced can only be sold at the price of ordinary tea.
Hearing the car horn from outside, he immediately stood up and walked to the gate of the tea factory. He saw a white Volkswagen parked at the door. Then Wang Lidong and Gu Jia opened the door and got out of the car.
He immediately stepped forward and said with relief, "Mr. Xu, Sister Jia, you are finally here."
Gu Jia said anxiously, "Xu Sheng, what's going on with the debt?"
Wang Lidong took two suitcases from the trunk, glanced at the dozen or so villagers surrounding him, and said, "Gu Jia, go in and talk."
Gu Jia immediately realized that this was not the place to talk and immediately followed Xu Sheng into the tea factory.
What you see is a shabby little courtyard, with an area of about three to four hundred square meters and about a dozen two-story wooden attics.
Entering the office on the ground floor, Xu Sheng immediately explained the problems found so far to the two of them in detail... There was only RMB 1.5 left in the tea factory's account, and the debt was about 1.2 million, mainly due to
Fertilizer fees and worker wages, as well as two traceability incidents caused by the failure of organic labels....
"Wait a minute, Xu Sheng...what do you mean when you say the organic label has failed?!"
Xu Sheng handed the organic certification certificate to Gu Jia and explained the difficulty of re-applying when the organic label expired.
After seeing the certificate, Gu Jia was confused. The price difference between organic tea and ordinary tea was more than twice...
Wang Lidong asked, "Tell me about the two pursuits of Shuo Eucalyptus."
"In the first half of the year, after the organic label expired, the tea factory still sold two batches of tea under the name of organic tea, with a total amount of 250,000."
Wang Lidong turned on his mobile phone and searched for relevant laws and cases. A month ago, a vegetable manufacturer in Beijing sold ordinary tomatoes as organic tomatoes. The sales amount was 5,000 yuan. The relevant departments confiscated the sales proceeds and then fined them, which is five yuan.
times the fine... I also checked the relevant laws and found that depending on the severity of the case, the relevant departments can impose a fine of 1 to 10 times.
After Gu Jia found out, her eyes felt like the world was spinning. Wang Lidong reached out to support the shaky Gu Jia, pulled a chair for her to sit down and said, "Xu Sheng, do you know why the organic label has expired?"
Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "I asked the factory director, who is also the head of Wuhong Village, and he said that the contractor has always been responsible for this matter, and he doesn't know."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a dark-faced middle-aged man walked into the office. Xu Sheng introduced this man as the village chief, and introduced the identities of Wang Lidong and Gu Jia to the village chief.
The village chief stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hands and said with a smile, "Welcome, Boss Xu, Boss Gu. Boss Li told me two days ago that the tea factory has changed hands. It has been dark for the past two days, so I will wait for you at the entrance of the village. Wait and wait."
Ah, finally I've been waiting for you.
Boss Gu, why are you looking so pale?
Is this motion sickness?
The mountain roads here are not easy to walk on. I'm going to make two cups of tea produced in our tea garden right away. It will feel better after drinking it."
Wang Lidong grabbed the village chief and said, "Village Chief He, don't worry about the tea. I have a question."
Village Chief He said with a smile on his face, "Boss Xu, you say it, you say it."
Wang Lidong looked at the village chief and asked word by word, "What is the reason why the tea factory's organic certification has expired?"
The village chief smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Xu, Boss Li's people have always been responsible for this organic certification matter. I also learned about the expired organic certification from Manager Xu."
What a nonsense!
The old guy is the biggest boss in Wuhong Village and the director of the tea factory.
He just asked Xu Sheng, except for the financial affairs, all the people in this tea factory are from the village.
It seems that there is something fishy about the expiration of the organic certification...most likely due to the use of prohibited fertilizers or pesticides during the planting process.
Gu Jia said at this time, "Village Chief He, please pour us two cups of tea."
"Okay, Boss Gu, please wait a moment." Village Chief He left the office with a smile on his face.
Seeing that he was the only one left in the room, Gu Jia turned to Xu Sheng and asked how much it would cost to fill in all the holes.
Xu Sheng said, "Sister Jia, the debt is 1.25 million. In terms of compensation, according to the cases found by Mr. Xu, it is estimated to be around 1.25 million, which adds up to around 2.5 million."
Gu Jia took Wang Lidong's hand and said with a guilty look on her face, "Husband, I'm sorry."
"Things have already happened, and the most important thing now is to find a way to solve this matter."
"I'll call Mrs. Li." Gu Jia said, standing up and leaving the office. After a while, he returned to the room with a sullen face. One look at his expression and he knew that the result was not good.
Wang Lidong looked at Xu Sheng and said, "The debt is more than two million yuan. In addition, to maintain the normal operation of the tea factory, we also need a sum of funds, fertilizers, workers' wages, and contract fees for the next year...Xu Sheng, you
Let’s check, how much were the tea factory’s total expenses last year?”
Xu Sheng immediately checked the accounts, "The total operating costs of the tea factory last year were 6.29 million, including 2.65 million for chemical fertilizers, 1.06 million for biological pesticides, pest control and other equipment, 1.26 million for labor, 960,000 for sales, and 360,000 for office expenses.
....”
"Where's the income?"
"Operating income is 5.01 million."
"In other words, we will lose more than 1 million yuan a year." Wang Lidong looked at Gu Jiadao, "There are two ways now. One is to drive down, which is just a bottomless pit.
I suggest direct bankruptcy and liquidation, which will only result in a loss of 2 million, so we should spend money to learn a lesson."
At this time, the village chief came into the office holding two cups of tea. Hearing Wang Lidong's words, he shouted, "Boss Gu, Boss Xu's tea farm cannot be closed. The villagers in Hukou rely on the tea factory to support their families."
Wang Lidong sneered and said, "Village Chief He, what you said is senseless.
We are businessmen, here to make money, not to do charity or poverty alleviation. Only fools would do business that is obviously a loss!
And... whether the people in your village can eat or not has nothing to do with me."
He didn't like the village chief at all. In the TV series, he was either crying about poverty or asking for money all day long.
Just try to fool a self-righteous 'capable person' like Gu Jia.
There is a huge shortage of village chiefs in the world at the moment. The imperial government provides more than a dozen types of subsidies to rural areas. For land cultivation alone, there are grain subsidies, fallow subsidies, etc., which works out to several hundred yuan per acre. Even for one village.
With thousands of acres of cultivated land, these subsidies are worth hundreds of thousands.
For example, for tea factories, Zhengfu subsidizes 1,000 yuan per mu every year. For 330 acres of tea gardens, the subsidy is 330,000 yuan a year. But he just checked the books and found that the factory has not received this subsidy at all in the past few years.
No need to ask, it must have gone into the old guy's pocket.
Village Chief He was scolded by Wang Lidong and was a little unable to get off the stage. Gu Jia hurriedly reached out to her husband, apologized to the village chief, and then said that they still needed to think about it.
Village Chief He hurriedly squeezed out a smile, saying that he understood their mood. Anyone who encountered such a thing would not be in a good mood. He looked at the time and said hurriedly, "It's almost noon, I'll go help you."
Get ready for lunch."
】
After a while, the smiling tiger village head brought several children and several plates of food into the office.
The children were dry and thin, and were still wearing patched clothes. Gu Jia felt compassion and asked about the family situation of the children.
The village chief immediately hit the snake on the stick, pulled several children with runny noses and tears, and told them about the tragic fate of these children.
Several children also had outstanding acting skills and performed the play "Who dares to be worse than me", which made Gu Jia's eyes turn red.
Wang Lidong took a few glances and then lost interest. The routine was too old.
Picking up the rice bowl and working hard, the rice is fragrant and the cooking quality is not top-notch, but it is more natural and tastes like vegetables.
After refilling the meal five times, 80% to 90% of the food on the table went into his stomach.
After finishing lunch and drinking two cups of tea, the village chief proposed to visit the tea garden together. Wang Lidong said that he was tired from the journey and had no interest in seeing the bird tea garden.
However, Gu Jia couldn't stand the village chief's plea and followed him out of the tea factory.
After walking for half a mile, they arrived at the tea garden. The two of them climbed halfway up the mountain. Gu Jia looked at the tea garden, which was layered, well-proportioned, shrouded in mist, and as beautiful as a fairyland... His affection was beyond words.
"Village Chief, why is the tea garden losing money?" Gu Jia looked at the village chief aside and asked the question in his heart.
Director He pointed at the tea trees and explained, "Boss Gu, the tea trees in our tea garden are all new tea trees planted four years ago.
After the tea trees are planted, they can be picked in small quantities in the third year. In the fifth year, they enter a stable period and the output will increase.
Therefore, in the first few years of growing tea, it was definitely not profitable. When Boss Li invested in the tea factory, I also told her, alas... this has reached a stable period. Unexpectedly, Boss Li sold the tea factory.
It’s such a pity.”
Gu Jia's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "This is the fifth year, what is the yield per mu?"
The village chief smiled and said, "The weather this year is very good, with abundant rainfall and high air humidity. I estimate that the yield per mu will reach 150 to 200 kilograms. It is almost double that of last year."
Gu Jia immediately calculated. Last year's operating income was 5.01 million. If it were doubled, it would be 10 million. The cost would be more than 6 million, and he could earn 4 million... This business can definitely be done.
If Wang Lidong were here, he would definitely sneer at this old bastard. With pure organic cultivation, the yield cannot be that high. The maximum yield of fresh leaves per mu is over 400 kilograms, and the dried leaves are only about 100 kilograms.
The village chief dared to say this just because Gu Jia is a 'rookie' who doesn't know anything. If the yield is not reached, the missing part can be filled with old leaves... let alone 200 kilograms, even 400 kilograms.
Get it sorted out for her.
When the two returned to the village, the roadside was already full of villagers, looking at Gu Jia with eyes full of longing and expectation. The village chief added some jealousy, which made Gu Jia secretly make up his mind.
In the evening, she found Wang Lidong, first made some self-criticism, and then told him about the bright future of the tea factory, saying that she wanted to continue operating it.
After Wang Lidong pretended to think about it for a while, he nodded and agreed, "Isn't it just a few million? According to the company's current business, our family can earn seven to eight million a year. But now the company has little money in its account. Tea Garden
The arrears plus future working capital will be at least 4 million, so we can only mortgage the house for the time being."
Gu Jia leaned in his arms and said with great emotion, "Husband, thank you."
Wang Lidong smiled and patted her shoulder gently and said, "Thank you for everything. Our family is in its current situation thanks to you. Wife, you are so powerful, I believe you will succeed.
In the future, the income of the tea garden will definitely be no worse than that of the fireworks factory. In a few years, we will also buy a pair of Monet's water lilies to hang in the living room."
The next day, the two took the high-speed train back to Mingzhu, and then found a bank to apply for a mortgage loan for the house.
The bank staff first evaluated the property price. Since the house originally had a mortgage, the loan could only be granted at 70% of the appraised value, minus the mortgage amount. In the end, a total loan of 6.3 million was obtained.
The day after Gu Jia got the loan, he rushed back to the Xiangxi Tea Factory. He first settled the debt of the tea factory, and then purchased hundreds of tons of organic fertilizer and microbial fertilizer according to the list issued by the village chief.
, and then organized villagers to compost the tea gardens in winter.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! While Gu Jia was working in full swing, Wang Lidong was not idle either. He ran two companies in both directions, and had to go to the kindergarten to pick up his son at four o'clock every afternoon. Then.
I took my son to participate in extracurricular classes and got to know many parents of their children.
A bunch of warblers and swallows made the waiting time not so boring.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
"Please come in."
Sheng Yueyue opened the door and entered the office and reported, "Boss, the agent called and said that the landlord agreed to your offer. But..."
"But what?"
"The agent said that the landlord also has a few cars that he wants to package and sell together..." She handed the information about several cars to Wang Lidong.
He took the information and looked at it. Two Rolls-Royces, a Phantom and a Cullinan. One was bought three years ago and the other was bought half a year ago. The mileage is not much.
There are also two sports cars, a Porsche and a Lamborghini.
He has no interest in sports cars, but two Rolls-Royces are just right for transportation. "How much does it cost?"
"Fifteen million."
"Tell the agent, 5 million."
The next day, at the real estate agency, Wang Lidong signed a house sales contract with the landlord. After completing the transfer procedures, within a few minutes, there was an extra US$13.73 million in the landlord's Citibank account. The landlord stretched out his hand and held it tightly.
He held up his hand and said, "Mr. Xu, when you come to the Kingdom of Mold in the future, remember to contact your brothers."
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Definitely."
After seeing off the landlord, Wang Lidong returned to the newly purchased villa with his secretary, "Find a reliable decoration company to decorate the second bedroom into a 'fairy tale themed' room. Remember to use environmentally friendly materials."
Sheng Yueyue asked, "Which fairy tale is the main theme? Boy or girl? How old are they?"
Wang Lidong thought about his little sister's preferences and said, "A three-year-old girl, the theme is SpongeBob SquarePants."
Sheng Yueyue nodded, "Mr. Xu, are all the toys SpongeBob SquarePants?"
"Half, for other toys, you can ask the toy seller what toys girls around three years old like. By the way, buy two more geese."
Sheng Yueyue asked doubtfully, "Mr. Xu, you shouldn't be able to raise poultry in the villa, right?"
"Pets are allowed. Also, some lotus flowers can be planted in the small pond..." He took his secretary around the villa and explained the areas that needed improvement.
When he came to the underground garage, he saw two sports cars, which he felt were a bit annoying. When he was about to tell his secretary to sell the cars, he found Sheng Yueyue looking at the Porsche sports car with Hello Kitty printed on the body, "I like this"
car?"
Sheng Yueyue nodded, "It's quite beautiful."
He immediately gave up the idea of selling the car. At this time, the phone rang. He took out his mobile phone and saw the caller ID, 'Secretary Youyou', and pressed the connect button, "Hey, Youyou, what's the matter?"
Youyou said in a panic, "Mr. Xu, something happened. Several companies have canceled their fireworks orders. Can you go back to the company right away?"
An hour later, Wang Lidong arrived at Jiamei Fireworks Company and found his secretary Youyou anxiously walking around the gate.
When she saw him, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xu, an hour ago, Mrs. Qian's Time Culture, Mrs. Yu's two theme parks, Mrs. Zhou's exhibition company, and Mrs. Jin's
I called all the 3.8 million fireworks orders and all orders were cancelled."
Wang Lidong glanced at his secretary and said calmly, "Ask Xu Sheng and Zhao Zhisheng to come to my office."
"Manager Xu is still on a business trip in western Hunan."
"Then let Finance Xiaoliu come over."
Walking into the office, 'Tinker Bell' swooped to his feet and meowed twice. He bent down to pick up the little guy, sat on the office chair, petted the orange cat a few times, and said softly, "From now on.
But no one will feed you, and I will take you to your new home in two days."
.............
Xiangxi Alpine Tea Factory
The longer Gu Jia stayed at the tea factory, the more she liked the life here. The air was fresh, the villagers were warm and honest, and the village chief was honest and responsible.
Learning to grow and fry tea from the villagers every day made her understand the hard work and difficulty of tea farmers. This strengthened her determination to make the tea factory a success.
"Ding ding ding," Gu Jia put the fresh tea leaves into the bamboo basket, took out her mobile phone, and found that it was Wang Lidong's call, so she clicked the call, "Hello, hubby."
Wang Lidong said, "Honey, I'll be back soon."
Gu Jia hurriedly asked, "Husband, what happened?"
“It’s because of my wife that I have canceled all the fireworks orders. In addition, two old customers also canceled their orders.”
"boom!"
Gu Jia was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning!
Wang Lidong, "Hey, wifey, are you listening?"
Gu Jia quickly came to her senses and said, "Hubby, are you kidding me?"
Wang Lidong was speechless and said, "Honey, do you think I would joke with you about this kind of thing?"
After Gu Jia hung up the phone, she found the village chief, explained a few words, and took the high-speed train back to Mingzhu's home.
Wang Lidong saw Gu Jia coming back and said, "Honey, have you had dinner?"
"We ate on the train," Gu Jia asked him about the fireworks order.
“How many orders were canceled?”
"Mrs. Qian's family has 2.8 million, Mrs. Yu's family has 13.5 million, Mrs. Zhou's family estimates 6.5 million, Mrs. Jin's family has 3.8 million, and the other two old customers are 2.15 million plus one, totaling about 28 million. Now the company only has 5 million left.
Fireworks order.”
Gu Jia's face turned pale and she kept mumbling, 'How could this happen...How could they do this...'
Wang Lidong said, "I asked about it, and the business operations of several companies are said to be directly ordered by the proprietresses. Wife, have you offended them?"
Gu Jia hurriedly explained that she had not offended many people... It was just that a few days ago when she went to Mrs. Li to discuss the tea factory, she complained to the people in Mrs. Li's circle... In Wang Lidong's case,
Under questioning, Gu Jia explained the content of his complaint, which roughly meant that these rich ladies were parasites and were useless without their husbands...
Gu Jia had an angry expression on her face. She didn't expect these people to be so small-minded.
Wang Lidong chuckled twice.
You say that other people are parasites and are nothing without a husband, but as for you, the purpose of getting into the circle of wives is to beg for food from these parasites.
You, Gu Jia, are not even as good as a parasite. Besides, these people gave you tens of millions of orders, which is definitely acceptable.
But you repaid kindness with hatred and fed an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
