"Ye Wei, remember to buy something affordable. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Don't buy those with fancy packaging. You won't get anything for your money."
Xia Zekai reminded him. He remembered something and said: "I just remembered that you can find a place to fill some sausages in advance. By then, each person will have 10 kilograms. This thing will be used to entertain guests during the New Year, and you can eat it yourself."
Okay, it’s more affordable than anything else.”
To be honest, Xia Zekai wanted to eat some himself, but he was generally reluctant to buy the vacuum-packed ones in supermarkets because they didn't taste good.
It's better to make it fresh by yourself, cook it at home and store it aside, then reheat it when you want to eat it, the taste will be more delicious.
The boss personally gave the instructions, and Wang Yewei nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll get to work on this as soon as possible."
This thing can be stored for a long time, but it needs to be dried for a long time after filling. Order it in advance and distribute it together when the benefits are distributed. It's just right.
Xia Zekai couldn't remember the rest. He told Wang Yewei: "You can just figure out the rest."
On Saturday, Xia Zekai originally wanted to go to his hometown and take his grandfather to the hospital. His father Xia Weicheng called and his second cousin Xia Yunhui happened to be back in his hometown, so he drove to pick him up.
Xia Zekai went to Zhoucheng, picked up his uncle Xia Weiguo, and went to Jicheng Cancer Hospital to find Dr. Lian to reserve a ward first.
While waiting, his uncle Xia Weiguo asked him about the factory. He also learned about what his nephew did from his son Xia Yunhui.
"The factory was fine last year, but it's not going to work this year. Competition will become more and more intense in the future, costs in all aspects will rise, and profits won't be that high in the future," Xia Zekai said.
This is a fact.
Although product revenue will continue to rise, and even the rate of increase is not low due to traffic, but after doing more in the later period, product profits will not be as high as in the early stage.
Uncle Xia Weiguo didn't understand this. He said: "You have done a good job. In the first few days, your aunts and others even called me and asked me what was going on. Many relatives in our hometown know that you are busy.
This mess is in trouble."
Xia Zekai scratched his head. This was not his intention, but he didn't care now.
When the second brother, grandpa and his father Xia Weicheng arrived at Jicheng Hospital, it was not even ten o'clock, so Xia Zekai and his uncle went down to pick them up.
When passing by the nurse's station this time, he saw a vacant locked wheelchair there, so Xia Zekai went over to register and borrow the wheelchair.
The nurses at the nursing station still remembered that Xia Zekai sent them mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. They had a good impression of him and were happy to borrow them.
After picking up his grandfather, old man Xia Shande kept looking at his little grandson smiling, which made Xia Zekai laugh so hard that his heart went crazy: "Grandpa, just tell me if you have anything to say."
"Zekai, when I go home this time, there are many relatives here, all asking for you."
"..." Xia Zekai was speechless.
He didn't answer, and old man Xia Shande nagged for a while. All in all, he was very satisfied with this grandson.
Xia Weicheng finally patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job and don't let others influence you."
Xia Zekai didn't know why his father said that, and he didn't ask.
After everything was arranged in the hospital, we had a meal together at noon. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Zekai and his second brother each drove a car and started walking towards Qicheng.
After taking the Jiqing Expressway and getting off at the intersection of Qicheng Expressway, the two brothers parted ways. Xia Zekai walked north and his second brother walked southwest. By this time, it was already dark and the street lights were on. Because of the cold weather, after dark
, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased.
…
On the weekend, Wang Yewei and his wife Kang Yuanyuan went shopping together.
After finally having a rest, Kang Yuanyuan thought about going to the supermarket to see what she wanted to buy and replenish the refrigerator at home.
Wang Yewei still remembered the task assigned to him by his boss. He said: "Yuanyuan, after I go to the supermarket to buy things later, you accompany me to the farmer's market."
Kang Yuanyuan was puzzled and asked him: "Why are you going to the farmer's market? Whatever you want to buy, supermarkets have it. They are more complete and fresher than those in the farmer's market."
Wang Yewei told the truth: "Isn't it the Spring Festival soon? Our company is going to give out some Spring Festival benefits, and the boss assigned me this task."
"There is another matter, husband, you are really busy as a director." Although Kang Yuanyuan complained about him, she still agreed.
Not to mention anything else, last month’s salary plus year-end bonus was more than 11,000 yuan, and there are several companies that can give me this amount.
Kang Yuanyuan knew that their department manager's salary last month was just over 4,000, and there was no year-end bonus.
The difference is clear at a glance!
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. I'll go with you to the farmer's market first. What do you want to buy?" Kang Yuanyuan knew how to choose and was very decisive.
Wang Yewei said: "Our boss wants me to find a place to fill up some sausages."
"I know there is a place where the meat is cheap and clean. Let's go." Kang Yuanyuan said nothing and left directly with Wang Yewei.
She usually buys the food at home, and she knows more about this than Wang Yewei.
Wang Yewei didn't say much nonsense. He drove the car and drove wherever his wife pointed.
Finally, we came to a farmer's market and found an empty space to park the car. Wang Yewei was about to walk into the farmer's market, but his wife stopped him.
"Ye Wei, where are you going?" Kang Yuanyuan asked him.
Wang Yewei pointed to the farmer's market: "Isn't it here?"
Kang Yuanyuan pointed to the 'Longda Cold Fresh Meat Store' in the north and said, "You are stupid. The meat in the farmer's market is so expensive, but here it is cheap and affordable. Hurry up and leave."
Wang Yewei was a bit of a hindsight in life. He didn't understand why the meat in the farmer's market was expensive, so he asked his wife: "Why?"
Hearing his question, Kang Yuanyuan had a look of disgust on her face: "It's unfair to call you stupid. Let me tell you, Longda cold fresh meat is competing with Jinluo cold fresh meat for the market. They have been offering discounts recently.
, in a price war, I buy the meat and ribs we eat at home, which is two or three yuan lower than the normal market price, do you understand?"
No matter how stupid you are, you already understand what is going on. Wang Yewei stopped talking nonsense.
The owner of this shop is a middle-aged man in his forties, lean and tall, with black-rimmed eyes. He also wears an apron with the words "Longda Cold Fresh Meat" on his waist.
When Wang Yewei and Kang Yuanyuan came over, the shop owner was busy cutting the ribs with an electric saw. After finishing, he collected the money and gave change and handed the cut ribs to the customer.
Then he cut 5 pounds of skin-on pork belly for another customer, collected the money, and continued to receive the next one.
After observing for a while, Wang Yewei believed what his wife said. Even if he is a living idiot, he also knows that the current pork belly is about 11 yuan, but he just observed that the pork belly in this store is only more than 9 yuan, and the hind leg meat is cheaper.
, 8 yuan appeared.
He thought to himself that it would be nice if Long Da kept negotiating the price with Jin Luo.
When the shop owner saw Kang Yuanyuan, he recognized her: "You are here to buy meat again."
"Boss, my husband is buying it this time. I'll remember that you can also fill it with sausages." Kang Yuanyuan asked on behalf of her husband.
"Guan, let's do this. You wait while I finish the work for the two people at the back." The shop owner pointed at the two people at the back and said.
Neither Wang Yewei nor Kang Yuanyuan refused, so they were done in just two minutes.
There are currently no other customers in the store.
The shop owner asked the couple: "How much do you want to drink?"
Before Wang Yewei opened his mouth, Kang Yuanyuan rushed to ask: "Boss, if we pour too much, can we give you a discount on the price?"
"How much?" the store owner asked.
Kang Yuanyuan looked at her husband. Wang Yewei made a fist with his right hand, spread his thumb and little finger, and made a six gesture.
"Only 6 pounds?"
"No, 600 pounds of sausages." Wang Yewei corrected.
The shop owner blinked and looked at Wang Yewei and Kang Yuanyuan to make sure they were not joking.
Kang Yuanyuan was also surprised. She didn't expect her husband to drink so much.
"So many!" the store owner confirmed.
Seeing Wang Yewei's heavy nod, he continued: "If that's the case, I can give you half the hind leg meat and half the tenderloin. The price is 8 yuan per catty. If you want 600 catties of sausage, you have to use 1,000 catties."
There is another 2 yuan processing fee per pound, which is mainly the cost of materials and casings. I basically make no money on this."
When a boss says he doesn't make money selling things, just listen to what he says, but don't take it seriously.
Even if Longda now engages in a price war with Jinluo to seize the market, the manufacturer will definitely provide generous compensation policies.
"Can it get any cheaper?" Wang Yewei asked profusely.
The shop owner said directly: "Brother, you can go out and ask around. My place is definitely the cheapest. If it's more expensive, I'll give you the price difference."
"Okay, it's ten thousand yuan in total, right?" Wang Yewei asked her.
Seeing the shop owner nodding, Wang Yewei said: "Then you place an order and I'll pay you a deposit first. You can start working on it today. I'll come and pick it up around the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month. Is that okay?"
Today is the third day of the twelfth lunar month, and there is still more than half a month until the 20th. The store owner calculated that it would be no problem even if he added other orders. He said: "Okay, brother, you can pay a deposit of 500 yuan first, and I will
We'll start processing it today, and I'll call you when it's ready."
"Yeah, by the way, pack them separately. Each bag holds 10 kilograms, a total of 60 bags." Wang Yewei made two more bags to be prepared. If he can't separate them, he would leave them to the boss.
The shop owner responded and said, "Don't worry, it's just a little more. I'll give you 620 kilograms of sausages when the time comes."
This was considered to be given to Wang Yewei personally. He also saw that Wang Yewei got it for the company. He also said: "The price is still 600 kilograms."
Wang Yewei understood, and Kang Yuanyuan was also very happy. She didn't expect such a good thing to happen, but it's only human nature.
Wang Yewei finally asked: "Can I issue an invoice?"
"Is it OK to have a fixed amount?" the store owner asked. He had an invoice for a fixed amount.
