At noon, Cao Shujie arranged at the Fuxing Hotel to invite everyone to have lunch together.
I don’t know since when, Fuxing Hotel became Cao Shujie’s only place to entertain guests.
Wang Leigang also knew that the guests at every banquet hosted by Cao Shujie were either rich or noble, or Cao Shujie's own friends.
Therefore, he made it clear to the store that even in his absence, whenever Cao Shujie brings people to the restaurant for dinner, they will be treated to the highest standards.
Today is no exception.
When Wang Leigang was away, when his wife saw Cao Shujie coming, she immediately arranged for the chef in the store to give priority to Cao Shujie's people and serve the highest standard set menu, regardless of what the others were doing.
So much so that when Cao Shujie hadn't arranged for anyone to order, the landlady told Cao Shujie directly that he didn't need to worry about anything.
Cao Shujie didn't know Wang Leigang's instructions behind his back, but he accepted the favor.
At noon, Cao Shujie sat at a table with Zhu Lingyun and several county leaders.
Neither Liu Furong nor Luo Ningyou are qualified to sit at this table.
Before the food was served, Cao Shujie chatted with Zhu Lingyun, Chi Wensheng, Huang Limin and others.
Zhu Lingyun asked Cao Shujie what the Xuemeng Food Factory's turnover was this year and what was its profit?
Then I heard from Cao Shujie that as of November, the factory's turnover was about 500 million yuan.
This result greatly exceeded the target they set when they opened at the beginning of the year.
In this regard, Cao Shujie admitted that Aimeng Preserved Fruit has brought a lot of revenue to Xuemeng Food Factory after it was promoted on the two programs "The Voice of China" and "Running Brothers".
It also made Cao Shujie realize that although advertising is very expensive, by the same token, the rewards are also great.
At this stage, Cao Shujie is looking forward to the launch of "The Strongest Brain" in January next year.
He wanted to see how effective Xuemeng Food Factory's advertising in "The Most Powerful Brain" was?
That was RMB 230 million in advertising fees, and Cao Shujie feels sick just thinking about it now.
But Zhu Lingyun was indeed surprised when she heard Cao Shujie say that there were still 500 million in sales as of November this year.
"so much?"
Even Chi Wensheng, the top leader of Pingyuan County who was sitting at the same table, was also surprised.
The annual revenue is more than 500 million, and there is still one month of receivables, which is already very good.
Chi Wensheng knew that even in Pingyuan County, there were not many companies with an annual turnover of more than 500 million yuan, let alone in Qingshi Town.
But Cao Shujie still shook his head and sighed: "I'm not making any money."
"Why don't you make money?" Zhu Lingyun was a little puzzled.
With a revenue of 500 million, even if the profit is a little lower, you can still make tens of millions.
Cao Shujie told him that he had borrowed more than 400 million yuan in various loans this year, and now there is still 340 million yuan that has not been repaid after the principal and interest are added together.
In addition, a lot of money was spent on the investment in the second phase project and the third factory project. Strictly speaking, we really made no money this year.
After Zhu Lingyun heard what Cao Shujie said, he understood what was going on.
However, Zhu Lingyun also understands that loans are installments and cannot generally classify all credit debts into this year.
Moreover, Xuemeng Food Factory is an enterprise with a deep asset-heavy operating model.
Because of their large production volume, large investment in fixed assets, and large amounts of working capital, the profit margin of this type of enterprise is not as high as that of other enterprises.
The win lies in stability.
Zhu Lingyun also understood after Cao Shujie's simple explanation.
She encouraged her boss, Cao Shujie, not to be discouraged, and told him that the government had corresponding policy support.
For example, preferential policies such as tax rebates or tax exemptions.
According to Cao Shujie, as of November, more than 36 million yuan has been paid in taxes and fees alone. This is because the company has been in a state of heavy construction this year, and various expenses are relatively high.
Even so, Cao Shujie felt very distressed after paying so much tax.
But on the other hand, Liu Furong and Luo Ningyou have always regarded Cao Shujie as the God of Wealth of Qingshi Town, not just for fun, but because Cao Shujie actually paid tens of millions in taxes.
This money covers most of Qingshi Town's financial expenses.
For Cao Shujie, the only thing that comforts him is that the company's many major asset expenditures this year can be deducted at the end of the year, and some taxes can be refunded by then.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved, Zhu Lingyun and the others went back after eating in the afternoon.
After Cao Shujie sent them away, when he was about to return to the factory, Liu Furong stopped him: "Director Cao, if there is any problem that cannot be solved at the factory, please tell me. If I can't solve it, I can go to the county to find someone to help."
solve."
"Thank you!" Cao Shujie expressed his gratitude to Liu Furong.
"You and I should be polite no matter what." Liu Furong's posture was very upright.
Let’s not talk about the current contribution of Cao Shujie and his Xuemeng Food Factory to Qingshi Town. Let’s talk about the relationship between Cao Shujie, Zhu Lingyun and Xiang Yuheng, the top leader in Yiling City. Liu Furong thinks he should be smarter.
Maybe if he enters another room, or even takes the title of "Standing Committee Member" in one step, he will have to end up with Cao Shujie.
Many times, this relationship takes a roundabout path.
…
Back at the factory, Cao Shujie went back to his office to rest for a while.
Shi Jingxiu, Wang Zhifeng, and Guan Boyong came over together.
When they came in, Cao Shujie was reading a book.
Seeing the three people coming in, Cao Shujie put down the book in his hand: "Manager Shi, Manager Wang, Manager Guan, please sit down quickly."
"What's the matter?"
Shi Jingxiu said: "Manager Guan came to see me just now about a customer visit."
"customer visit?"
Cao Shujie glanced at the calendar and saw that there were only a few days left in December.
He said: "It's time to make a trip. Manager Guan, please make a trip to some of our big clients."
"Forget the rest. When the company celebrates, invite them over to join us," he said.
Guan Boyong nodded and came down.
"Manager Wang, how is the plan prepared?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Wang Zhifeng reported the plan prepared by his department to Cao Shujie.
It just so happened that Shi Jingxiu and Guan Boyong were both there and could also provide some suggestions.
Sure enough, when Cao Shujie asked about the details of Wang Zhifeng's plan, both Shi Jingxiu and Guan Boyong provided a lot of suggestions.
Shi Jingxiu also talked about the second phase project factory building being used as a performance venue.
She told Cao Shujie and Wang Zhifeng that she had already communicated with the construction company, selected a factory building, installed wiring and lights in advance, and used it as a performance venue.
It's just that a factory workshop is never a professional studio, and it has to be greatly compromised in terms of lighting and on-site effects.
However, with more people participating, it seems more lively, which can make up for the shortcomings of the performance venue.
Cao Shujie told them that he was going to invite the people of Caojiazhuang to come and watch the show, and he could also ask the factory employees to invite their families to come and watch the show.
As for the others, forget it.
What Cao Shujie said, Shi Jingxiu and the others did.
Coming out of Cao Shujie's office, the three of them were still discussing the company's Daqing event.
This is considered the most important thing for the company a year ago.
In comparison, other things can be pushed to the back.
…
But for Cao Shujie, after finishing his work in the company, the most important thing is his wife.
Driving back to Caojiazhuang from the town, Cao Shujie was still wondering whether to change to a safer car.
However, there was no strong demand for a while, so Cao Shujie put this idea aside for now.
He thought that after the money came out of the stock market and he had more money, he could consider changing to a better one.
Otherwise, it would be meaningless to make so much money but be reluctant to spend it like a miser.
As the end of December approached, the entire Caojiazhuang was busy with the family banquet. What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that Cao Shuxu came back.
Moreover, Cao Shuxu came to see Cao Shujie. When he saw him, Cao Shuxu seemed particularly happy.
Putting down the things he was carrying for Cao Shujie, Cao Shuxu said with a smile: "Shujie, the shipment volume of mobile phones in the market has increased again this year, and our data cables are also selling well."
"Really, that's great." Cao Shujie was also very happy.
At the beginning of the year, Cao Shujie invested 3 million in the data cable manufacturing factory of Cao Shuxu and his friends.
Cao Shujie does not expect to get back his investment this year. According to his idea, it would be good to get back his investment in two years.
But according to Cao Shuxu’s words, more than half of the original investment will be recouped this year. Next year, not only will the original amount be recouped, but also some profit will be made. Cao Shujie is happy.
"Brother Xu, sit down quickly." Cao Shujie asked Cao Shuxu to sit down.
Hear Cao Shuxu tell him about the data cable manufacturing factory.
Thanks to Cao Shuxu’s previous relationship and connections at Tencent, this time they contacted Xiaomi and began to supply Xiaomi mobile phones.
This was something Cao Shujie didn't expect.
And according to Cao Shuxu, they are continuing to develop customers from other mobile phone manufacturers, such as OPPO mobile phones and Apple.
It's not that they have won all the mobile phone data cable business of these brands, but only a small part of it.
But even this has greatly improved the company's development speed for them.
The only bad thing is that such a well-known mobile phone brand lowers the price very hard. They really follow the path of small profits but quick turnover.
"Next year, we will try to contact vivo. I think the market positioning of these mobile phone brands is very clear, and according to the data we have tracked, the shipments of their mobile phones in the market continue to increase. If we can
With stable supply, both shipment volume and product profits can reach a very ideal state."
Cao Shujie nodded.
Also asked Cao Shuxu how he could help?
"Not yet, but I will definitely let you help later." Cao Shuxu said.
Cao Shujie nodded and was not polite to him.
Speaking of the big banquet, Cao Shuxu came back because of this incident.
He had been in the south before and had seen the clan concept of southerners many times.
Relatively speaking, the clan concept here is much weaker.
The big banquet that Cao Shujie is planning to host, in Cao Shuxu's opinion, is more like reviving the clan concept.
What is reflected is unity.
After working hard outside for so many years, Cao Shuxu can better understand the importance of unity.
He thought that there were more than 1,300 people in Caojiazhuang. Even if there were only one or two people in the same place with him, as long as they could get in touch and everyone could meet and chat, they might be able to help each other if anything happened outside in the future.
After listening to what Cao Shuxu said, Cao Shujie felt that Cao Shuxu had identified the core of this big banquet.
"Brother Xu, you are right." Cao Shujie raised his thumbs up and praised him.
"Actually, Shujie, you take a long-term view and are not afraid of jokes. We are just following you to pick up some bargains." Cao Shuxu looked very humble.
