Chapter 703 If I had known this, why did you reject Cao Shujie in the first place?
"Director Guo, this is an advertisement for our company in advance." Cao Shujie said softly.
"The money I spent on commercials was not wasted."
Wang Zhifeng didn't understand what was going on, but Lian Qijian knew it. Seeing that Cao Shujie didn't say much, he also kept silent.
He is not stupid, and he also knows that the fewer people who know about some things, the better.
There was nothing else going on that day. Lian Qijian went home from get off work at 1 o'clock.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my parents were there, and they were discussing something.
Seeing him come in, his mother Dang Wanli came over with a smile, looked up and down, then left and right: "Jianjian, you are back."
"How about being outside for the past two days?"
During the two days when her son was out, Dang Wanli had been thinking about him very much.
The main reason is that this is the first time that her son has gone out alone to deal with work, and it is also dealing with the provincial TV station. But she knows how many ways there are, and she is afraid that her son will not do well.
Lian Xuezhu patted the empty seat next to him and asked his son to sit down.
"Jianjian, tell me about your business trip these two days and let me know what you think."
"Dad, Mom, let me tell you, I have met a star, a real big star." Lian Qijian looked surprised.
While talking, Lian Qijian took out his mobile phone: "Hey, Dad, Mom, let me show you the photos of me and them."
Unlocking his phone, Lian Qijian looked through the photo album and found a photo, pointing to a group photo of him and Wang Jie, Wang Peigang, Meng Fei, Jiang Changjian, Tao Jingjing, Wei Kun and others for his parents to see.
Not to mention, when Dang Wanli saw these celebrities and hosts, she acted startled and looked particularly surprised.
"Jianjian, that's great. Now you're taking photos with celebrities. Are you going to show this on TV?" Dang Wanli suddenly became interested.
Thinking about watching her son on TV, she suddenly felt that the troublesome things her husband had just mentioned were no longer so worrying.
Dang Wanli asked her son again: "Did you not make a fool of yourself when you held the press conference?"
Lian Qijian shook his head: "No, Mom, they all have a fixed pattern. When I stop there, I basically follow the script. The few questions the reporter asked are not deliberately to make things difficult for others."
"In addition, our company spent more than 200 million yuan on the title advertisement on "The Strongest Brain", and the external quotation was 300 million yuan. This is to give Jiangsu Province TV station a face. At this time, no one is willing to go against the provincial TV station."
"That seems to be the truth." Dang Wanli nodded.
Looking at her son Lian Qijian again, she suddenly became a little dazed.
The little guy who used to rely on her has really grown up now. Although he still seems very immature when dealing with things, he can already take charge of his own affairs.
Lian Xuezhu looked at his son's changes and was very pleased: "Son, you have grown up."
"Hey, Dad, I'm already 24." Lian Qijian said.
"That's so fast!" Lian Xuezhu nodded. Unknowingly, his son was no longer the little bastard who fought for so-called feelings.
"You two, let's chat for now while I go cook." Dang Wanli said.
After saying that, she went to the kitchen to cook.
Lian Qijian still wanted to help, but his mother kicked him out of the kitchen.
"Dad, my mother said two days ago that something happened at your factory. How was it? Is it resolved?" Lian Qijian sat next to his father. He saw an orange on the table, took one and finished peeling it.
Handed half to his father.
I tore off a piece and put it in my mouth and ate it slowly. It was a bit sour and sweet, quite watery, and the taste was really good.
Lian Xuezhu also ate two slices. When talking about the factory, Lian Xuezhu smiled and nodded: "It's okay. It's not a difficult problem. It has been solved."
"So fast, you are worthy of being my dad." Lian Qijian sincerely praised his father.
Lian Xuezhu felt a little embarrassed when his son praised him: "Although I have stepped down, my previous relationship is still there. It's just a phone call. Besides, it's a matter between a few of us. We all know it in our hearts."
If the factory doesn't transform, it will go bankrupt sooner or later."
After hearing what his father said was so serious, Lian Qijian asked him: "It's so risky."
"Otherwise, what do you think? In the past few years, the efficiency of the factory has been poor, and the profit has been getting worse year by year. If it hadn't been for planting cotton on a parcel of land in Changji, Xinjiang in the past two years, it has fundamentally reduced part of the cost.
We may not be able to hold on any longer." Lian Xuezhu was filled with emotion when talking about this incident.
The matter of contracting land to grow cotton was first brought up by his nephew Cao Zhen, and he was also the first to go there to help him solve this problem.
It's just that the guy worked for more than a year, found a wife, and ran away early.
No one expected that the Xinjiang Restaurant he opened in the city would be so successful.
Sometimes Lian Xuezhu thinks that the profits of his nephew's restaurant are higher than the profits of his own factory.
But there is nothing we can do about it, especially in recent years, the manufacturing industry has become increasingly difficult to do.
Even if he had a spider web of connections in Pingyuan County, it would be useless.
Only he knew in his heart that when the products of their factory left this small place and entered a larger market, the network of relationships he had built over the years would be of no use at all.
Outside, there are too many counties or cities larger than Pingyuan County.
There are countless places richer than them.
With regard to their situation, they are often like a frog in the well, causing him to lose himself.
In comparison, Xuemeng Food Factory is several times better than them in the market.
"Jianjian, dad has only one request for you: work hard at Xuemeng Food Factory and try to make a difference, but don't think about coming back to take over." This is what Lian Xuezhu told his son.
After hearing this, Lian Qijian froze there, suddenly at a loss.
His father's tone of voice was completely different from before.
He still remembers that his father once said that he should train at Xuemeng Food Factory for a few years before coming back to take over!
Have you changed your mind now?
Is there a younger brother or sister outside?
This had to make Lian Qijian suspect that something had happened to his father.
"Dad, are you okay?" Lian Qijian asked him again.
Lian Xuezhu shook his head and said: "I used to be a frog in the well. I thought I could run the factory well with the connections I had accumulated over the years. But in fact, once we leave Pingyuan County, what does our factory mean?"
Lian Qijian looked in a daze, so that was it.
At this moment, Lian Qijian suddenly discovered the scene of his father's heroic decline.
He always thought that his father was his supporter. At this time, Lian Qijian suddenly felt that his father was really old.
For a moment, Lian Qijian didn't know what to say.
Mother Dang Wanli made dinner and asked him to serve it.
Lian Qijian hurried into the kitchen, and after a while, mother and son came out carrying several plates.
"Jianjian, go and find the fruit wine that your brother Jie brought over. Let's drink some as a family." Lian Xuezhu said.
"Okay!" Lian Qijian turned around and went to find a drink.
Dang Wanli noticed that her husband looked a little strange and asked him what happened.
But Lian Xuezhu didn't say a single word.
He just said that he was happy to see his son grow up and be able to take on things.
"Okay, I'll have a drink with you today." Dang Wanli said.
Only she understands the pain in his wife's heart.
Let’s go and have some cool tea!
When the tree falls, the hozens scatter!
Describe reality vividly!
…
In the evening, Cao Shujie had dinner with his family and answered two phone calls.
One was called by Abdullah from Xinjiang.
The other one was Wang Kai, deputy director of Jiangsu Provincial Television Station, who called him.
These two phone calls surprised Cao Shujie.
Wang Kai told Cao Shujie that "The Strongest Brain" will be released soon.
Abdullah called Cao Shujie to ask him if he would still accept the apples.
Abdulla told Cao Shujie that the large apple growers they visited last time were now willing to sell apples to Xuemeng Food Factory at a low price.
This made Cao Shujie think that he had heard wrongly.
But in fact this is really the case.
Abdul used a few of them as middlemen and introduced many large apple growers to Cao Shujie. However, those people thought the price was too cheap and wanted to raise the price, so no cooperation was reached in the end.
They want to save the apples and sell them at a higher price. They always feel that the price of apples will definitely rise as the Spring Festival approaches.
Who knew that the price of apples would suddenly and inexplicably drop this year when the Spring Festival was approaching.
And the rate of decline is not slow.
In just three months, apples that used to cost more than 6 yuan now only cost more than 5 yuan. But even if the price dropped by one yuan, the downward trend of apple prices has not stopped.
"Is there such a thing?" Cao Shujie found it very interesting.
But he is very busy now. He will hold the company's all-staff meeting tomorrow. In addition, the Spring Festival is approaching and the company has a lot of things to do. It is impossible for him to go to Xinjiang Changji to talk about Apple at this time.
In addition, he was kind-hearted and negotiated cooperation with those people at a high price. Who knew that they didn't like him, and now they are begging him in turn? What does this mean?
Cheap?
"Abdullah, my friend, I was quite busy last year. I will hold a company meeting tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will start visiting customers, visiting condolences, and the company celebration party. In addition, my wife is pregnant now, and I am really
Can't leave."
"Do you think this is a good idea? I'll take some time to go to Changji to meet you all after the new year, and then we'll talk about Apple."
The meaning of Cao Shujie's words has been made very clear.
Abdullah also understood what Cao Shujie meant.
He was not angry, knowing that Cao Shujie did this and it was understandable.
Moreover, Cao Shujie's wife is pregnant, which is a big deal.
It's understandable that he doesn't come now.
Abdullah also expressed his blessing to Cao Shujie on the phone.
"Okay, I'll tell them we'll get together again after the new year," Abdullah said.
The call lasted quite long, and his wife Cheng Xiaolin even asked him who made the call.
After Cao Shujie explained the reason to his wife, Cheng Xiaolin muttered: "In fact, it is understandable. They just want to make more money, but the price of apples is set by the market, and the price of fruit has indeed been falling recently."
"I've been busy lately and haven't paid much attention to it," Cao Shujie said?
Cheng Xiaolin knew that what her husband said was true and said no more.
On the other side, after Abdullah relayed Cao Shujie's statement to the person next to him, the person's expression immediately changed.
"After the new year?"
"There is still more than a month left. In this month, who knows how much the price of Apple will drop." He was still a little angry.
But Abdullah didn't care at all. He said to this man: "Korla, I told you to sell Apple at the beginning, but you still think the price of 6.8 yuan is low. What now? There is no more 5.5 yuan."
, the price is still going down, it’s definitely going to break 5 yuan, what do you think we can do?”
Korla was anxious.
"I never thought it would be like this. I just wanted to wait. The price could rise a little. Who knew it would drop so sharply in the past few months."
Abdullah shook his head: "Korla, you are also an old fruit farmer who has been growing apples for so many years. You should know very well that the price of apples fluctuates greatly. How is it now? The more the price drops, the less people buy it. Can you still sell your apples?
Are all the apples sold?”
Korla is now experiencing what Abdullah and the others encountered two years ago.
In other words, all apple farmers have encountered this problem.
It seems that after the price of apples rises to a certain level, it starts to decline along the other end of the parabola. They, the so-called big apple growers, want to change this situation, but it is of no use at all.
The price is like running down a sled from a high mountain.
Just like what Abdullah just said, Korla and several other large apple growers are thinking of cutting prices to get rid of the apples, but the problem is that many fruit dealers are chasing the rise rather than buying the fall.
Under this situation, everyone is worried that Apple prices will fall further, and no one dares to ask for more inventory.
In this case, there are no large-scale dealers to take over.
Those small and small fruit wholesalers are not very popular, and there is no way they can handle the goods.
Changji is one of several apple growing bases in Xinjiang, and it is also the largest apple growing base.
Like Korla, there were many fruit farmers with the same idea at the beginning. From this, we can see how big the apple inventory is here now.
As long as you hear that someone is selling on a large scale at a cheap price, you will hear other major apple buyers offering lower prices that day. At this time, many apple wholesalers are also waiting and watching.
It’s hard to expect these fruit farmers to keep their minds on the same page.
Otherwise, Abdullah and others, acting as intermediaries, would not have had any disagreements over price when they introduced Cao Shujie to Korla and others.
Now that he couldn't sell it, in desperation, Korla thought of Cao Shujie. He came over today to ask Abdullah for help, thinking about letting Abdullah act as a middleman again and contact Cao Shujie.
Who would have thought that Cao Shujie could not come over the year before, using the excuse that he was busy.
This means that Korla will have to keep its apples in stock for more than a month.
In this way, not only do you have to bear the cost of cold storage storage for more than one month, but you also have to bear the risk of apple prices continuing to fall for more than one month.
There is no need to guess, Korla knows very well that the price of apples will continue to fall.
"What should I do? What should I do, Abdullah?" Korla asked anxiously.
But Abdullah had no better way. He said to Korla: "Korla, it's not that I won't help you, it's that you can only wait."
"Look at us, after the apples come out, no matter what the price is, we will sell the apples to Mr. Cao at the market price that month. In this way, we don't have to bear storage fees, nor do we have to bear the risks brought by the market, and we don't have to bear the risks brought by the market.
You can convert apples into cash, why can’t you figure it out?”
Korla is down!
…
When another day passed, Cao Shujie went to the company.
During the day, Cao Shujie had been busy summarizing various data. When He Ruijia called him at around 3 p.m., Cao Shujie walked towards the company's large conference room with empty hands. ()
