Chapter 575: Fall harder than anyone else (420.01 million)
"Shujie, what did you want to tell me just now?" Cheng Xiaolin put the matter aside and turned to ask her husband.
Cao Shujie told his wife about the parent-teacher meeting in the kindergarten.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "This is a good thing. When I used to work in a kindergarten in Beijing, the school also did this. Besides, school buses are not expensive. I remember that a 50-seat one costs only a few hundred thousand yuan."
, even if some more configurations are added, it will not exceed 200,000.”
It took a long time, and she didn't pay much attention to it, so she couldn't remember the current specific price.
Cao Shujie had never paid attention to this aspect at all. He really didn't know that the price was so cheap.
"It's so low. I thought it would be the same as a passenger car, with a starting price of several hundred thousand and no cap of one million," Cao Shujie said.
"Isn't that nonsense? If it's so expensive, which school can afford it?" Cheng Xiaolin pouted.
She asked: "Sister Qiuling, don't you want your village committee to help buy a school bus?"
"Probably not. I think there is a high probability that there will be a meeting to discuss the issue of reasonably charging school bus usage fees." Cao Shujie said this.
"should be."
Cheng Xiaolin also agrees.
With nothing to do, Cao Shujie came down from upstairs and took advantage of the nice weather to go out for a walk with his grandfather.
The matter of advertising is still fermenting. At 12 noon, which is a time period of the "no one cares" level, Dongshan Provincial TV Station's satellite channel is given away for free, and the familiar opening line of the advertisement appears.
"I'm convinced by the taste, but I still love cute preserved fruits."
The same content follows, but the closing line of the advertisement is changed again: "Fashion loves cuteness, delicious food on the tip of the tongue, and pays attention to your life with nutrition and green."
Some people who saw the advertisement became curious about the advertisement because of the opening sentence.
How delicious is Aimeng Preserved Fruit?
Many people just want to go out for a walk and see where they can buy it.
"They should be available in supermarkets, right?"
Many people have this idea and want to go shopping in the supermarket to find out if there is this snack that is being advertised in the supermarket?
However, this snack is currently available in large quantities only in Jiajiayue Supermarket.
Thanks to sales manager Guan Boyong and his team, they have been constantly developing new customers in the market. Although there are no big customers like Jiajiayue Supermarket for the time being, there are still some small supermarkets or small local wholesale stores.
.
But compared to this huge market, these customers are still too small, just like a drop in the ocean. Most people who want to buy Aimeng preserved fruit have to see if it is sold in the area.
However, in the next stage after the advertising is launched, I believe that there will definitely be an explosive period in the market customer development stage.
The only good thing at the moment is that it is not available locally at this stage, but you can buy it at the Taobao store "Xue Meng Fruit Store" by searching online.
…
When school was over in the afternoon, Cao Shujie went to pick up Mengmeng again and held a parent-teacher meeting on the way.
In addition to him, many parents came over.
There are three villages: Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village.
Li Qiuling briefly explained the reason why parents were invited to come here today.
The general meaning is that the children in the top class will soon graduate and go to the primary school in the town to attend first grade. Considering the safety of the children, the primary school in the town investigated how many people in each kindergarten are willing to take the school bus.
But there is a prerequisite for taking the school bus, which is to pay a monthly bus usage fee of 100 yuan.
Considering the distance from Caojiazhuang to Qingshi Town, 100 yuan a month is not much.
But when it comes to paying money, no one can say what other parents will think.
"The primary school in the town has already said that using the school bus is voluntary. This is not mandatory. Parents of children in the upper class who are willing to take the school bus can sign up with me first, and I will report it to the primary school in the town." Li Qiuling finally said.
said.
After hearing this, Cao Shujie sighed in his heart, "This is really the case."
But he didn't expect that the primary school in the town planned to buy a school bus.
This also makes sense. If schools purchase them collectively, the cost will definitely be lower.
In addition, schools purchase school buses collectively, and the county education bureau and finance department should provide relevant subsidies.
Besides, each child is charged 100 yuan per month, which is neither high nor low, and can even subsidize vehicle expenses to a certain extent.
Based on the calculation of 50 seats in a car, assuming that 50 children take the school bus, the monthly charge for a school bus is 5,000 yuan. This school bus cannot even spend 1,000 yuan on diesel fuel per month.
The remaining 4,000 yuan not only includes the driver's salary and vehicle maintenance costs, but the main unit of the school bus will definitely make some money.
Contrary to Li Qiuling's expectation, most parents agreed that their children should take the school bus.
After all, it is convenient and relatively safe.
Especially in bad weather like wind, rain, and snow, everyone who sends their children to school knows that it is very unsafe and very troublesome.
Spending 100 yuan a month can solve this problem. In the eyes of these parents, it is really worth it.
The people in Caojiazhuang are no longer the people who were reluctant to spend money like before.
Especially when it comes to their own children, they are willing to take action.
The people in Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang Village accounted for the majority of Caojiazhuang's income, and their incomes have also increased greatly.
They are willing to bear the 100 yuan school bus fee.
There are also a small number of parents who are hesitant, or they themselves open shops and do business in the town and can pick up and drop off their children every day, so these people did not sign up.
This registration is voluntary and Li Qiuling is not forced to do so.
The parent-teacher conference was successfully concluded in a short time.
…
On the morning of the second day, Cao Shujie went to the factory in the town.
Tomorrow is the Labor Day holiday. Cao Shujie has not yet received a notification from Jiajiayue Supermarket, and he doesn’t know how the sales of preserved fruits are going at the supermarket?
In the last shipment, a total of three trucks were shipped, each with 645 boxes, and each truck weighed 3,225 kilograms of pure preserved apples.
Calculated based on the sales price, each truck is worth 250,000 yuan.
Of course, this is revenue, after deducting Apple's raw material costs and other material costs, labor costs, company operating expenses, admission fees, etc., and what is left after paying taxes is the profit.
But even so, the profit from selling preserved fruits far exceeds the profit from simply selling apples.
These thoughts were swept away in his mind, and Cao Shujie was also thinking about another problem. Since the official production started, the more than 4,000 tons of apples he bought a year ago have been consumed very quickly.
From the official start of production on March 26 to today, April 29, for more than a month, the consumption of apples in the cold storage has dropped at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In order to ensure safety stock, the company must purchase additional apples or purchase other fruits to produce other preserved fruits.
Rather than just producing one kind of apple preserves.
If there is only one product, there will be no problems in a short period of time, but if it takes a little longer, problems will easily occur.
No one can eat only one kind of preserved fruit for many years, just like no one can eat only one kind of fruit for many years, no matter how delicious it is.
"You have to purchase fruits in advance." Cao Shujie thought to himself.
He stood up and left the office and went to the purchasing department.
When I came over, the purchasing manager Xiang Zhengyan was busy. When he saw him coming, Xiang Zhengyan stood up quickly: "Boss."
"Manager Xiang, sit down." Cao Shujie followed and sat down.
"Manager Xiang, what's the current product inventory situation?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Xiang Zhengyan explained the current situation of finished product inventory and raw material inventory.
According to the company's current production process, 4 pounds of apples can be used to make one pound of preserved fruit, which has reduced production waste to a minimum.
There are even more local ways to make preserved fruits, and it often takes seven or eight pounds of apples to make one pound of preserved apples.
"Manager Xiang, is the procurement plan ready? Let me take a look." Cao Shujie asked him.
Xiang Zhengyan handed the plan he had made to Cao Shujie. The whole plan was very well thought out and considered comprehensively.
Cao Shujie read the story from beginning to end. He nodded frequently, but also said to Xiang Zhengyan: "Manager Xiang, in addition to planning to purchase some apples, we also want to purchase some other fruits."
"Only one product will not go far, we must diversify our production." Cao Shujie said specifically.
Xiang Zhengyan nodded, he had understood the meaning of Cao Shujie's words.
Tomorrow is the May Day holiday, and Cao Shujie is still thinking about which Jiayue supermarket to go to to check the sales of products.
I'll call Xu Jiao later and ask which supermarket nearby delivers the goods.
Unexpectedly, Cao Fei called Xu Jiao before he called him.
I asked him if he had already negotiated a cooperation with Jiajiayue. Their five-star department store store, Jiajiayue Supermarket, had replaced all the promotional posters with promotional posters for Aimeng Preserved Fruit this morning.
At the same time, Jiajiayue Supermarket also placed a promotional advertisement for Aimeng Preserved Fruit on the LED screen at the entrance of their five-star department store.
Cao Fei didn't notice this snack at first. When he was reading the promotional poster, he found that the production address of this food was Xuemeng Food Factory, Qingshi Town, Pingyuan County, Yiling City. At that time, he took this snack
A snack called Aimeng Preserved Fruit is related to the factory where Xiao Cao Shujie was born.
At the same time, I also learned about the time when Fa Xiao placed advertisements on provincial TV stations.
At that moment, Cao Fei only had a blessing smile on his face.
He hopes that Cao Shujie will develop better and better.
"Have our products been distributed in your supermarket?" Cao Shujie also reacted and asked him.
Then I listened to Cao Fei explain the situation.
Cao Shujie made up his mind to go to Jiajiayue Supermarket in the Five Star Department Store in Yiling City tomorrow to check out the sales.
When Cao Shujie returned to the office from the purchasing department, before Cao Shujie could even sit on the chair to warm up, the financial manager Hu Youcai came over.
"Manager Hu, if you have anything to do, sit down and talk." Cao Shujie said.
After Hu Youcai sat down, he said to Cao Shujie: "Boss, we are almost out of money in our account."
The company's public account does not have much money.
It turned out that the money was still a 15 million loan from Cao Shujie. After paying for the cold storage and the second part of the equipment, he also paid more than 5 million in advertising and promotion fees some time ago. The balance of the equipment has not been cleared yet, so there is no money in the account.
Money.
Fortunately, during this period, the volume of online sales has been good, and the daily orders have increased slightly. The advantage of this is that it can collect money in time and fill up the small funds in the company's account. Otherwise, the company would be really poor.
can't be uncovered.
Even so, we are now almost at the point where we have no money to spend.
Hu Youcai came to see Cao Shujie because he wanted to ask the boss to find a way to get some more money.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for the company to operate in the future.
"So fast!" Cao Shujie took a deep breath. This speed of spending money is really not slow.
It seems that since the establishment of this factory, Cao Shujie has never been rich in money.
He said: "Wait a while, I will transfer another 10 million to the company."
This is his private proprietorship, but for any partnership, the money is lent to him by the company, and he has to pay high interest.
Hu Youcai nodded, no need for Cao Shujie to tell him, this kind of accounts must be kept well.
When the company's profits are calculated in the future, the money must be returned to Cao Shujie.
"We need to purchase raw materials soon, and this money alone is not enough. From Jiajiayue Supermarket, the payment will be returned within one month at the earliest and two months at the latest. Manager Hu, please go to the bank with me," Cao Shujie said.
.
"Okay, I'll call the driver right now." Hu Youcai went out to find the driver.
For Hu Youcai, it is normal to take out company loans to live on.
But he did some digging and found that Xuemeng Food Factory had only one loan of 15 million yuan so far, and it was a short-term, low-interest loan. This result surprised Hu Youcai.
After comprehensively analyzing all aspects, he found that the company's net assets were very high.
Because of this, he particularly admired Cao Shujie.
…
Song Baoming drove, Cao Shujie and Hu Youcai arrived at the Qingshi Town Branch of Yiling Rural Commercial Bank on the street in front.
As soon as he parked his car, entered the credit office, and saw credit manager Ma Changrong, Cao Shujie noticed that he was frowning.
"Manager Ma, what's wrong?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Then, without waiting for Ma Changrong's greeting, Cao Shujie pulled up a swivel chair and sat opposite Ma Changrong.
When Hu Youcai saw this, he also sat down on the chair next to him.
"Hey, don't mention it. The crappy thing I bought last year has now dropped below 400 US dollars a piece." Ma Changrong said this.
He frowned and suddenly said: "Why do I feel that what I bought is PetroChina..."
"Haha!" Cao Shujie laughed, this metaphor is really poisonous.
"You mean you can never get back your roots in this life?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Ma Changrong sighed: "I can still get some money back. I heard that the country will introduce relevant policies to combat it."
"I see that some other countries in the world have also announced that they will introduce similar policies. Seeing that this situation is really going to end, I am wondering whether to sell it in advance."
"But if I sell it damn early, I will lose 60% of my principal." Ma Changrong's face twisted when he thought of this result.
"How much is one now?" Cao Shujie asked him.
He doesn't have time to watch it recently.
Besides, he is short of money now and is not in the mood to buy Bitcoin again.
On the contrary, it was Hu You next to him who heard his boss and Credit Manager Ma chatting like charades. He was a little confused. What on earth were they talking about?
It’s so valuable!
Before he could figure it out, Ma Changrong said: "The lowest price a few days ago was more than 310 US dollars. Fortunately, it has risen again in the past few days, floating around 405 US dollars. I don't know if there will be a chance for it to rise to 1,000 US dollars again in this life."
above."
Ma Changrong felt a deep sense of exhaustion. He secretly blamed himself for not resisting the temptation and buying at the highest point.
These are really a pair of magical hands, and he is so angry that he wants to chop them off now.
Cao Shujie couldn't tell him much about this matter, he could only tell Ma Changrong himself.
However, after Bitcoin rose to more than 1,000 US dollars in December last year, it dropped to more than 300 US dollars in just over 4 months. It is truly worthy of it!
