Chapter 1395 The rich have distant relatives in the mountains (4000 words)
When the two of them arrived in the capital, it was already evening. When they heard the radio saying, "We will arrive at the station in twenty minutes, please prepare yourself." Li Mumu and Yan Jinghua were still discussing who should call the boss.
Call the boss and have a meal with the boss in the evening.
In the end, Li Mumu called Xia Zekai and said something.
Xia Zekai has always taken good care of these capable men under him. When he heard Li Mumu say that he was almost arriving in the capital, without saying a word, he drove over with Wang Yi, Wu Jialei, and Lin Yi, and stopped at the high-speed rail station.
I picked them up and found a place to eat.
During the dinner, Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu told Xia Zekai about Qicheng Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
Yan Jinghua also told Xia Zekai about the insufficient production capacity of dried fruit raw materials.
After hearing this result, Xia Zekai asked: "Isn't it available now?"
"It is also directly related to the fact that last year's dried fruit production was still not large enough. I estimate that this year's production capacity will increase by 30%, but it will still not be enough by then." Yan Jinghua said.
Hearing what Yan Jinghua said, Xia Zekai asked him: "Is there any place to grow dried fruits in Qicheng?"
"Yes, there is, but there is not much available space." Regarding this issue, Li Mumu, a local in Qicheng, has a better say.
He also arranged for someone to inspect it.
He said: "Boss, we should consider cooperating with other cities."
Yan Jinghua also nodded: "Mr. Li, Mr. Lu, I, and we have calculated that even if the dried fruit planting area in Qicheng doubles, it will not be able to fully meet the company's consumption."
He said: "Boss, I think the top priority is that we still need to talk to other cities about developing 'specialty agriculture'. We hope that more areas in Jidong Province will grow dried fruits."
"It would be great if the boss could go to the province and talk to the leaders above to promote the cultivation of dried fruits throughout the province."
Xia Zekai glanced at Yan Jinghua with a half-smile, and said: "Old Yan, you have a beautiful idea, but have you ever thought about it. If the superiors really promote it across the province, we will be able to absorb such a large production capacity.
Come down?"
"Hey!" Yan Jinghua just sat there and giggled, not saying anything else.
The three of them ate, drank, and chatted for a while. Only then did Yan Jinghua talk about Dong Minglun and his party arriving at the Beijing International Airport tomorrow. He said, "Boss, Lao Li and I will go to the airport then."
"Wal-Mart will next be related to a huge piece of our overseas business."
"Okay, you go ahead, I won't go." Xia Zekai said.
The two of them even said that there was no need for the boss to come over.
Xia Zekai asked a question. He said: "I'm thinking that Dong Minglun's visit this time is not just to see our production line and see our production capacity. He may have other purposes."
Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu did not deny this point raised by their boss, and they did not think it was unconventional to ask the president of the international business department of Wal-Mart headquarters to make a special trip just to see the production process of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
…
At 9:35 a.m. the next day, an international flight from Arkansas, USA, stopped at Beijing International Airport.
Minglun Dong, who has black hair and blue eyes, got off the international flight with the team members of Wal-Mart's International Business Department.
After all, this is one of the international metropolises. The presence of more than a dozen foreigners at the Beijing International Airport is not eye-catching.
After they came down, Dong Minglun, who was walking at the front, turned to chat with a tall and burly foreigner behind him. The two of them were talking about the itinerary for their trip to China.
According to the route they planned before arriving, the first stop was to visit Jingtong Industrial Park.
This company's products are very popular in Wal-Mart supermarkets. This result was beyond Dong Minglun's expectation.
He thought that this product only sold better in the United States, but what he didn't expect was that this product was not only a best-seller in the United States, it was sold in more than 600 stores in 5 countries, including the United States.
All very popular.
Because of this, McMillon is now promoting it to be sold in Walmart stores around the world.
As of now, Walmart has more than 6,000 Walmart stores in 26 countries around the world.
If it is also popular in other countries, then their centralized purchase of ‘Jingtong Food’ will no longer be a matter of doubling.
This involves another core issue.
Huge production capacity!
But judging from what I saw when I visited Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. last time, I am afraid they cannot meet this requirement.
"McMillion, is this the capital?" A woman next to her asked Dong Minglun. This was her first time stepping into this land, and everything felt very strange.
This woman was about the same height as him, with a slender figure and a high nose bridge. She was not pretty, but her eyes revealed shrewdness.
Dong Minglun looked outside and said: "Alan, yes, this is the capital. Let's go meet Mr. Xia first, and then go to Qicheng Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. to have a look."
"Mr. Xia? McMillion, are you talking about Xia Zekai, who is ranked 26th on the Forbes rich list?" someone asked.
Dong Minglun nodded firmly: "That's him!"
Immediately afterwards, the expression on his face became particularly complicated: "I didn't expect that in less than a year, Mr. Xia would surpass Jack and increase his net worth by more than 10 billion US dollars. My God, I suddenly felt that
It wouldn’t be surprising if one day he directly tops the Forbes list of the world’s richest people.”
Thinking about the last time he met Xia Zekai in Qicheng, Xia Zekai's total net worth at that time was just over 10 billion U.S. dollars, and he was ranked over 100 on the Forbes rich list, but he didn't even have a year.
His net worth has doubled, and his reputation in the gang has skyrocketed.
This outstanding growth trend is suffocating.
"Is he coming?" A fat man with a big belly asked Dong Minglun.
Dong Minglun nodded: "Mr. Yan said that Mr. Xia is in the capital. You will see Mr. Xia later. Don't talk nonsense then."
"McMillon, don't worry!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They walked out of the international airport lobby together. Before they came out, Dong Minglun heard someone calling him. Following the sound, he looked over and saw Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu waiting not far away.
Behind them, there were two other young people following.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Li, hello." After Dong Minglun passed by, he greeted them in very proficient Chinese.
Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu also shook hands with him one by one, and then said: "Dong, let's go directly. The boss has been waiting for you over there for a long time."
"Let's go!" Dong Minglun was very happy and led his team members to follow Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu out.
Yan Jinghua and the others came this time and drove a business car and a minibus. More than a dozen people got into two cars and the driver drove directly out.
In the villa area of Honolulu, Dong Minglun, who had come all the way, saw Xia Zekai waiting at the entrance of the villa area while still in the car.
After the two cars stopped, Dong Minglun walked in front and walked towards Xia Zekai with open arms.
Xia Zekai also laughed and walked towards Dong Minglun: "Dong, welcome!"
"Mr. Xia, we meet again." Dong Minglun said with a smile.
"Dong, your appearance hasn't changed much." Xia Zekai pointed at him and said.
Then he pointed at himself and said, "Look at me, I've gained a lot of weight."
"Mr. Xia has become richer now. Congratulations to Mr. Xia for becoming the richest man in China. I see that Mr. Xia's mental state is radiant now and is better than before." Dong Minglun said.
Even though he is an out-and-out foreigner, he knows a lot about China.
Xia Zekai burst out laughing and welcomed Dong Minglun and his team, as well as Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu into the villa.
After more than a dozen people sat down, the nanny Ren Ping poured the brewed tea and hand-ground coffee one after another.
"Boss, Mr. Luo isn't here?" Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu were puzzled when they came in and didn't see the boss's wife or the child.
The two of them stayed at a nearby hotel after having dinner last night.
Xia Zekai said: "They went with my parents to see the renovation of the courtyard."
"Siheyuan?" The two of them remembered the word, but they were not curious about the boss's ability.
After the nanny Ren Ping poured the tea and coffee respectively, she cut the washed fruits and put them on the plate and brought them over.
She also brought over some dried fruits.
When they saw the dried fruits, several foreigners became interested. They took some for themselves and began to eat. They chewed slowly and tasted carefully when eating. After eating, they couldn't help but put out their thumbs and said: "
good, good!”
They are quite satisfied!
Xia Zekai burst out laughing: "Eat more if you like. It's hard to say anything else. This is enough!"
“Mr.
The secret?" Dong Minglun took the opportunity to ask this question.
"Lao Yan, Lao Li, tell me, what's the secret to our product?" Xia Zekai asked the two of them with a smile.
Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu did not expect that Dong Minglun would ask this, but they also did not expect that the products from their company were different from those of other brands.
As for the difference in taste, it can only be due to the different proportions of ingredients. The dried fruit raw materials are mainly grown locally in Qicheng. Compared with the dried fruit raw materials from other regions, they are nothing more than fresh.
The two talked about what they had thought of, but Dong Minglun was still puzzled. He asked: "When I visit Qicheng, can I take a look at the production process again."
"There is no problem with this. Our entire production process is transparent, including the batching room!" Xia Zekai readily agreed.
Other companies may regard the formula as a top priority, but Xia Zekai is different. He believes that anything can be shown to others, but the formula ratio is confidential.
Not just for Dong Minglun and his team, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. has received many visiting individuals, companies, or government personnel in recent years. These people include people from the same industry and other industries who come to learn the company's production site management experience.
of.
Xia Zekai never kept secrets from them.
"Thank you!" Dong Minglun expressed his gratitude sincerely.
In the following time, the two parties discussed further cooperation in the future.
One is from the product purchase price. Dong Minglun wants Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. to reduce the price, and Xia Zekai will definitely not agree directly.
He knew very well that some openings should not be opened casually. Once an opening was opened, it would be difficult to do it later.
In addition, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. now supplies a large amount of goods to Wal-Mart, and it is now a dime cheaper. This is reflected in the centralized purchasing volume of Wal-Mart, and their company makes a lot less money.
"Dong, you guys have been tired from traveling. You have just arrived in the capital, so you must be hungry. I'll treat you to a taste of the capital's delicacies, and we'll chat while we eat later. What do you think?" Xia Zekai asked.
The stalemate atmosphere at the scene is really not suitable for continued discussion.
Hearing that Xia Zekai wanted to treat them to Beijing's delicacies, the woman named Allen in the crowd asked with a smile: "Mr. Xia, is it the Beijing roast duck?"
She said: "Before I came, I checked the information on Google and found that the roast duck in Beijing is very famous."
"By the way, the hot pot in Beijing is also very famous. I haven't tried it yet, or let's try this." Someone suggested.
"No problem!" Xia Zekai agreed. What a big deal!
He never expected that these people's demands were so low. One wanted to eat roast duck and the other wanted to eat hot pot. Let's arrange it!
Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu looked at each other and said nothing.
On the way to the hotel, the two of them were in a car with Xia Zekai and Dong Minglun. Dong Minglun also asked Xia Zekai how he felt after he became the richest man in China.
Xia Zekai complained: "Dong, to tell you the truth, I just came to the capital to hide and relax."
"Why?" Dong Minglun didn't understand very much. He thought this was a good thing.
This position also proves Xia Zekai's personal strength to some extent, and also confirms the strength of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
Look at Old Bill in their country. He has been the richest man for more than ten years and he is very keen on pursuing this.
Xia Zekai waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, it's too annoying!"
Hearing what the boss said, Yan Jinghua and Li Mumu seemed to understand what was going on, and they couldn't laugh or cry in their hearts.
In China, too many people are staring at Xia Zekai. In other words, they have been staring at the Forbes China Rich List.
Thanks to this, even Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. has now become a "popular company" and receives calls from people to visit every now and then.
There are even government agencies that bring outstanding local companies across provinces to visit and study.
It really feels like becoming famous all at once.
But Yan Jinghua and the others felt that another sentence was more in line with their current situation.
"Wealth in the mountains has distant relatives."
The evening is gone, I will write a big chapter for a few days, and I will order it even if it goes up or down. Thanks to my friends for their support.
