At this time, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. was very busy, both in the workshop and in the sales department.
After entering mid-August, the sales of dried fruits increased due to the second phase of production increase, and sales restrictions were completely relaxed regardless of online sales, offline sales, or channel sales. At this time, the three channels went hand in hand. With Jingtong
Development Co., Ltd.'s 100 million donation became known to enthusiastic audiences across the country, and sales really exploded.
When the time entered September, the sales of dried fruits gradually stabilized from the boom. Guo Ying made another suggestion, changing the bulk dried fruits into small packages and sealed bags, and then putting them into gift boxes to present to the outside world as high-end gifts.
sell.
Previously, dried fruits in gift boxes were almost invisible in the market.
Most of the dried fruits that can be seen on the market are in bulk in large bags or in individually packaged bags. No one has ever thought of mixing different dried fruits into a packaging box as a high-end gift.
But having said that, the unit prices of common dried fruits such as pistachios, pecans, cashews, macadamia nuts, almonds, etc. are not low. It is not a shame to give them away. On the contrary, it is very honorable.
Because of Guo Ying's proposal, Yan Jinghua, Li Mumu, Lu Huan, Huang Ying and the two sales managers Zhang San and Guo Ying held a small-scale meeting to discuss the feasibility of this plan.
, Yan Jinghua immediately organized the plans they discussed and reported to Xia Zekai.
Not surprisingly, this plan was quickly approved, and Jiaze Packaging Co., Ltd. was asked to rush to work on a batch of gift box packaging boxes of different sizes. The "Jingtong Brand" dried fruit gift boxes that were put on the market in a hurry were
It's on the market.
But no one expected that this batch of dried fruits on the market would sell surprisingly well.
Whether it is the channel, Jingtong Baby's offline direct stores, or Jingtong Baby's Taobao store, the sales are beyond everyone's expectations.
Jingtong Baby's offline direct-sale stores have really mastered the mechanism. They have the conditions and advantages to match the dried fruits in the gift boxes according to the different price points the customers want or the customers' requirements. This gives customers more choices.
On the contrary, it increased the sales of the company's different products.
Even some products that were not very popular in the past were sold as "gift" accessory products in gift boxes.
This directly led to the continuous rotation of everything in the company from production to sales to warehousing.
During this Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, everyone didn’t even take a break and was working all the time.
What is gratifying is that under such circumstances, no one said they were tired. They were all gritting their teeth and trying to take advantage of the popularity to increase sales and increase sales.
I don’t know how the sales will be in July and August, and whether we can achieve the annual sales target of 5.5 billion in the second half of this year.
But before the results came out, no one gave up. Everyone worked hard and worked hard. Everyone wanted to get a higher bonus at the end of the year.
As for Jingtong's brand of gift boxed dried fruits, just because it donated RMB 100 million last month, customers in the market bought it very much.
When they see that the dried fruits or other foods in the packaging box are of sufficient quantity and are not simply packaged like other products, customers will have a higher recognition of this brand's products.
Everyone was rushing to buy it, thinking it would be a great honor to give it as a gift.
It’s just that this idea was brought up a bit late. Offline direct stores in Jidong Province are okay, but offline direct stores outside Jidong Province do not have a large volume of goods due to distribution problems. Instead, Jingtong Baby
Taobao stores contributed a lot of sales.
Apart from the company, the most tiring ones are Zhao Ting's logistics and express delivery and Xia Zejiang's Jiaze Packaging Box Factory.
To be honest, they were really exhausted!
Jiaze Packaging Co., Ltd. operates three shifts 24 hours a day to produce various gift box packaging boxes for Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. was forced to hire a large number of people due to the huge order and the demand for packaging boxes. Xia Zejiang faced the risk that there might not be enough orders in the future and hired a large number of people. He started working in two shifts and turned into three shifts.
High efficiency increases output.
In addition to his side, YTO Express is even busier.
With the repeated expansion of production capacity, Jingtong Baby Taobao store also ushered in "retaliatory consumption" from netizens with donations from Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. Zhao Ting and his workers simply followed suit and worked three shifts.
I am constantly busy with logistics and express delivery. To put it bluntly, even going to the toilet has become a luxury time.
But busyness always pays off, and the sharp expansion of orders has brought about a sudden increase in their income.
After the project was completed in August, Xia Zejiang considered finding a time to pay back the 1 million he had lent to his brother.
There was no way, now that he was indeed rich, he would not feel comfortable if he still owed the money to his brother.
…
One day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xia Zejiang received a call from his brother, asking them to go there to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xia Zekai and Shen Jiayi originally thought of taking a day off during the Mid-Autumn Festival and returning to Zhoucheng to spend the holiday with Shen Jiayi's parents, but their eldest brother called and after thinking about it, he agreed to go to his place at noon to meet his parents first.
Grandpa reunited with us and returned to Zhoucheng in the afternoon.
Shen Jiayi also happily agreed.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two of them packed their luggage early, loaded the gifts they wanted to bring with them into the car, and drove to the Purple Jade Garden Villa area.
Zhou Yinghong was particularly happy to see them coming.
"Zejiang, Jiayi, why are you two here so early? Come inside and sit down."
"Mom, why do I think you look younger again now?" Shen Jiayi looked at her mother-in-law carefully for a while and then asked doubtfully.
She also said to her husband Xia Zejiang: "Zejiang, please see if what I said is true."
Without waiting for her younger son to observe, Zhou Yinghong subconsciously touched her face and asked, "Is it true or false? I didn't even notice."
The eldest daughter-in-law Luo Xiyun has been buying her various moisturizing and cosmetic products during this time. Zhou Yinghong didn't know how to use them at first, but with the eldest daughter-in-law Luo Xiyun guiding her, she also knew which ones should be used at what time.
Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Shen Jiayi said: "Mom, let me put it this way, you look at Yatou and Tongtong every day, can't you tell that they have grown taller again?"
When the youngest daughter-in-law said this, Zhou Yinghong realized that it was indeed the case.
I see it every day and don't feel anything has changed.
But Shen Jiayi then said: "Mom, do you still have your previous photos? Take another one now and compare it with the old photos to see if you have become younger."
Xia Zejiang also said: "Mom, the wrinkles on your face are indeed much less than before."
"Okay, you two, please stop praising me and keep your voice down later. Your sister-in-law is not feeling well and is still resting." Zhou Yinghong pointed upstairs and said.
When Shen Jiayi heard that her sister-in-law was not feeling well, she subconsciously asked: "Mom, what's wrong with sister-in-law?"
Xia Zejiang also asked, and Zhou Yinghong thought for a while and said: "Your sister-in-law has just found out that she is pregnant. I don't know what happened. She has severe reaction and morning sickness. She can't eat much and has a lot of rest time every day."
.”
"Ah!" The two of them were shocked. They had been working hard recently, but there had been no movement. Neither of them expected that their eldest brother and sister-in-law would quietly rush ahead of them and become pregnant again.
Xia Zejiang muttered: "Mom, how long has it been? Why haven't I heard my brother talk about this?"
Zhou Yinghong put her finger on her lips and made a 'shush' sound, and said: "Keep your voice down, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are not allowed to talk outside. They want to raise their children in peace."
This is the truth. If someone knows, they will definitely come to visit under the pretext of "visiting", but they don't need this, they might as well rest at home for a while.
Xia Zekai came down from upstairs. When he saw his brother and sister-in-law, he smiled and said, "You two got here pretty fast."
"Brother, let's think about going to Zhoucheng in the afternoon." Xia Zejiang took the initiative to express this plan. Otherwise, if the eldest brother keeps them until the evening, they should go or not.
When Xia Zekai heard what his brother said, he immediately figured out what was going on. He smiled and said, "That's okay. The Mid-Autumn Festival is the time for reunions. We can't let Xiao Shen's parents be too lonely. You really should
Let’s go to Xiao Shen’s house.”
Shen Jiayi was also a little embarrassed, so she asked: "Brother, sister-in-law!"
"She is still sleeping in upstairs right now. She just found out that she is pregnant, and she is much lazier than before." Xia Zekai said it directly.
"Brother, our mother just said that your second child is ahead of us." Xia Zejiang said with a smile.
"Okay, come in quickly. Your sister-in-law and her brother will come over later. Please drink less at noon."
"Brother, my dad and grandpa, I haven't seen them." Xia Zejiang asked.
He hadn't seen the two of them since he came in, and he was quite puzzled.
Gulu
Xia Zekai pointed to the opposite side and said, "I didn't pay attention either. They should have gone to the park opposite the community. They usually go there for a walk when they have nothing to do."
Speaking of this, Xia Zejiang and Shen Jiayi were very envious. They said, "Brother, the environment of your community is better. It is so close to the park and it is very convenient to get there."
"Your house is now available, too. If it doesn't work, I'll renovate it some other time and move here." Xia Zekai gave him an idea.
Xia Zejiang shook his head: "It's a bit small, but it's actually not as convenient as living in Golden International."
"I'm thinking of saving money first, and when I have enough money, I will buy that set and a bigger one."
Speaking of this matter, Xia Zejiang remembered something and said, "Brother, give me a bank account number, and I will transfer the one million I lent you before."
Zhou Yinghong, who had just come in from outside, heard what her youngest son said. She didn't know there was such a thing, but she didn't say anything.
She also felt that even if they were brothers, they still had to pay back their debts.
Xia Zekai was not surprised at all. He asked: "Do you have working capital now?"
"Yes, you need a large quantity of goods here. I have a balance after excluding the normal turnover. The raw material procurement side is a triangular debt settlement. As long as there is no problem with the production capacity, it can be transferred." Xia Zejiang said.
Xia Zekai understood what it meant. After they paid the payment for his brother's Jiaze Packaging, Jiaze Packaging took the payment to settle accounts with the base paper supplier and the corrugated paper supplier.
This kind of triangular debt is too common nowadays. Unless the funds of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. suddenly break one day, Jiaze Packaging will have to use its own funds to settle the accounts. Until then, there is no need to worry about this risk.
After Xia Zekai listened to what his brother had to say, he gave him a Bank of China account number, which was Xia Zekai's personal account.
His brother-in-law, Luo Xincheng, and his wife came over a little late. In Luo Xincheng's words, he was working the night shift and had just gotten off work not long ago.
Xia Zekai was very puzzled and asked him: "Xincheng, are you working the night shift now?"
Luo Xincheng nodded and said: "Brother-in-law, our production capacity has increased again. The annual output is almost reaching one million pieces. The use of molds in the workshop has increased significantly. If we don't work shifts, we won't be able to do it."
"Then you guys are quite tired. Have you been given a salary increase again?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Luo Xincheng shook his head helplessly: "It's not that simple to raise wages. Now that the company is stable, the normal salary increase is once a year. I usually just expect a promotion and a raise."
"When can you level up again?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Luo Xincheng shook his head even more this time: "Brother-in-law, it is becoming more and more difficult for us to get promoted. President Qi said at the all-staff meeting that the bonus period for the new factory of Qicheng Aidili Co., Ltd. has passed.
, and then if you want to be promoted, you have to follow the rules. Generally, there is a cycle of five to seven years, and you have to have enough soldiers under you. If there are not enough people, we may be dismissed!"
After he finished speaking, Xia Zekai understood clearly that Qicheng Adli Co., Ltd. had taken this step because he had previously invited IBM Global Business Consulting Services to provide management training for their factory, and later hired Yan Jinghua as a manager.
Training, assessment and talent reserve training are actually similar but they all focus on management and talent reserve, but Xia Zekai asked himself that he did it better.
Compared with his approach, Qi Jiahui's operations were inferior.
After Luo Xiyun came down from upstairs, Shen Jiayi greeted her directly: "Sister-in-law, I just heard from my elder brother that you are pregnant. Congratulations."
"Hey, I just had two older children, and I have to look after the younger ones again. I'm not tired enough." Luo Xiyun said this, but anyone could see her joy from her face.
Shen Jiayi came to her side and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, is it a boy or a girl?"
Luo Xiyun shook his head: "I've just been pregnant for more than a month, and I can't tell until I do a color ultrasound."
Shen Jiayi did not know much about this knowledge. Although she had plans to prepare for pregnancy, these common-sense knowledge for pregnant women was a cognitive blind spot for her. Even though she had read a lot of relevant knowledge points and had no experience,
It's all in vain.
She smiled a little silly and said, "I made a mistake."
"How are you two doing? Hurry up and have a baby while you're young, don't delay." Luo Xiyun now has the confidence to persuade others.
Hearing what she said, Shen Jiayi nodded: "We are always ready."
When Xia Weicheng pushed his old father Xia Shande back from outside in a wheelchair, the house became even more lively.
At noon, Xia Zekai, Xia Zejiang and Luo Xincheng drank nearly two kilograms of liquor.
Father Xia Weicheng only drank a glass of red wine today and that was it.
…
In the afternoon, Shen Jiayi drove and went straight to Zhoucheng with Xia Zejiang.
Even though the distance between Qicheng and Zhoucheng is not far, only less than 20 kilometers, the two of them have not been back for a long time since Jiaze Packing Box Factory opened.
Xia Zejiang now spends all his time in the factory, thinking about how to improve the production process to improve production quality and efficiency.
Before starting a business, Xia Zejiang always believed that he would be like his brother. Although he would be a little tired in the early stage, he would be able to free himself from heavy labor in the later stage and have a lot of private time.
But after he got really busy, he realized how naive his previous thoughts were, and realized how terrible ignorance is.
It's not what I imagined at all.
Do it by yourself, not to mention the worry and effort, which can be tiring to death.
Xia Zejiang fell asleep without knowing when.
After Shen Jiayi saw it, she drove the car more smoothly. Almost twenty minutes later, she arrived at the Zhoucheng Construction Community. Shen Jiayi drove the car into the community. She walked forward cautiously. With her skills, she did not dare to drive
It's fast, I'm afraid I'll hit another car if I'm not careful.
After finally finding a place to park the car, Shen Jiayi also pushed Xia Zejiang, who was sleeping in the passenger seat, awake.
"Zejiang, wake up, we have arrived at the community." Shen Jiayi said.
Xia Zejiang was indeed too sleepy. He drank sixty ounces of wine at noon and fell asleep unknowingly in the car just now.
"So fast!" He said it was too fast.
Shen Jiayi smiled and scolded: "If you feel it's faster, go out for a run by yourself."
"Am I stupid? Hurry up and open the trunk. I'll take the things up." Xia Zejiang had already gone around to the back.
Shen Qishan was upstairs and heard the noise downstairs, so he quickly came down.
"Zejiang, you guys are here. Your mother stewed the ribs and steamed the tamales this afternoon. Come on up quickly."
To be honest, Shen Qishan was a little jealous. As soon as her son-in-law came, her cooking skills immediately improved to a new level. She usually just cooks random dishes at home to satisfy her hunger.
As soon as Shen Jiayi heard about the steamed pork with vermicelli, she became extremely greedy: "Dad, come and help Zejiang move the things. I'll go up and take a look first."
After saying that, she ran upstairs without caring about what was behind her.
Shen Qishan saw that his daughter was still acting like this after getting married. He had a doting look in his eyes, but he was also a little embarrassed.
"Zejiang, Jiayi is like this sometimes, you should be more patient with her," Shen Qishan said.
Xia Zejiang smiled: "Dad, don't worry, it'll be fine."
The two men carried all the wine and nutritional supplements they had brought up.
Shen Qishan also muttered: "I came home for a meal and I'm not an outsider. Why did you bring so many things?"
"Dad, I went to my brother's place at noon. My brother asked me to bring it with me. He also asked me to bring it to you and mom," Xia Zejiang said.
"Your brother is so thoughtful in everything he does." Shen Qishan sighed with emotion.
