Gao Ren opened the account book, which clearly recorded that as of yesterday, a total of nearly 10,000 Clivia plants had been shipped. After deducting various expenses, the net profit was RMB 60 million.
The amount they paid for the goods to decorate their lives was equivalent to RMB 60 million, which meant they made no loss or profit in the past six months, which was just about the same.
"Ring", at this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Hey, Tianfu Investment Company, please wait a minute, Manager Chen." Miao Wei covered the microphone with his back and whispered to Miao Renjie: "Brother, it's Manager Chen who makes up life. He said he wants to find you."
Miao Renjie and Gao Ren looked at each other and murmured in their hearts. Don't have any more problems with the decoration life, otherwise this business will really go downhill.
Miao Renjie took the microphone: "Chen Feng? I'm Miao Renjie."
"sure no problem."
"Yes."
"That's great, where are you now? Come on, let's meet in the hotel's cafe in half an hour."
Miao Renjie hung up the phone and said to Gao Ren excitedly: "Chen Feng said two things. They have organized the villagers over there, and they can start loading the truck after dinner."
"Okay!" Gao Ren clapped his hands and finally heard good news.
"Also, he helped us find the people who helped them ship goods before, and asked us if we needed help. I asked them to meet them at the coffee shop downstairs, and we will talk together later."
"How did he know?" Gao Ren asked puzzledly.
"When I went to decorate the living room in the morning, in order to get them to pay attention and organize manpower faster, I told him the situation.
When I left, I asked Chen Feng by the way to see if he could do anything. Unexpectedly, he actually helped and found their original next owner." Miao Renjie explained the reason to Gao Ren.
"You have a very good relationship. If you can take the initiative to help at this time, you are quite a friend." Gao Ren said with envy.
"He is from the army. He is very cheerful. We have a good relationship. By the way, Xiaowei, haven't you given us all the customer information of Zhuangdian Life? Why haven't you contacted them?"
"Brother, they get their goods from Shiweitian. After we took over, I wanted to recruit them to join our sales, but our original dealers strongly opposed it, saying that there were already more wolves and less meat. If we recruit new people,
No one is making money anymore.
I was afraid that it would affect sales, so I didn’t contact them. Then Clivia was sold in limited quantities, so there was no need to contact them.”
"They are the ones causing trouble again!" Gao Ren felt resentful in his heart.
"Forget it, let's not talk about them for now. Gao Ren, please give us a charter, what should we do next!"
"Can you estimate how much you will have in your hands in the end?"
"In the past few months, we have been selling 6,000 plants per month. I asked them, if they sell at a reduced price, there is no problem with three to five times the shipment volume. If it is more, we are not sure. Moreover, it depends on
Government propaganda and other measures.
The average price of our shipments last week was one hundred and thirty yuan. If we want to lower the price now, it can be reduced to seven hundred to seven hundred and fifty yuan.
If they hurry up and sell until the end of the month, I estimate there will be 10,000 to 15,000 plants, which will be too late to ship."
"Today is the 1st, and I feel that the government's control measures cannot be extended until the end of the month. You should calculate it based on the 20-day sales period. Moreover, since the company has already recovered its capital, it is better to reduce it even further and lower the average sales price.
Some are mainly based on volume.
These Clivias are of no use to us if we really have to keep them in our hands, and we still have to pay land and management fees."
"Ok, I see."
The three of them agreed and waited in the room for a while before going to the coffee shop downstairs.
After coming here for a while, Chen Feng took the two of them to the coffee shop. After exchanging greetings, they sat down in a private room and started negotiating.
Time was tight, and Gao Ren and the others just wanted to ship the goods as soon as possible, so after more than an hour, they reached an agreement. Several traders from Guanyuan formed a partnership and continued to ship goods to the south to do sales for Tianfu Investment Company.
The transportation problem is solved by the vendors themselves. They have been very familiar with it before. They asked for 5,000 plants in the first batch. Whether the second batch will be available will depend on the sales situation.
Gao Ren is also quite courageous. He directly lowered the retail price to 500 yuan per plant, which is basically less than half of the market price. 100 yuan of which is agency fees, freight and other expenses.
Counting this batch alone, if everything goes well, Tianfu Investment Company can make a net profit of 2 million yuan.
At this time, the shortcoming of Tianfu Investment Company's small number of people became apparent. They could only send four people to follow them to the agency city. However, Tianfu Investment Company had no other option at this time.
Zhuang Decoration Life organized manpower and worked in batches. It took three days of continuous work before the 20,000 plants sent by Tianfu Investment Company to the north and the 5,000 plants sent to the south for sales were loaded into trucks and sent away respectively. Instead, the surrounding villagers were asked
, made a small fortune.
On June 7, Jilin Provincial Daily published its second editorial. This time the topic was to discuss how long the extremely high price of Clivia can last. It was like a companion article to the first editorial, but the tone was more severe.
However, after Gao Ren saw it, his tense spirit relaxed a little. Because he understood clearly that the government did not intend to kill him with one stroke, and was still blowing wind and warning.
Whether in the north or the south, the sales of Clivia are racing against time. Due to Tianfu Investment Company's large-scale shipments, the prices of Clivia that were inflated in various places were suddenly brought down.
In the past few days, Gao Ren and Miao Renjie have been waiting for the summary of sales from various places every night. As the goods arrive one after another from various places, the daily transaction volume is also rapidly increasing.
Gao Ren found that there were only five cities selling in the south, but the shipment volume was not much worse than that in the north. You know, there were more than 20 cities in the north selling at the same time.
Excluding the few days spent on road transportation, half of the five thousand plants in the south have been sold. The person sent by the company to supervise called today to ask for additional shipments. It was an unexpected surprise.
Miao Renjie has notified Zhuangdang Life and will continue to load the truck and ship the goods tonight. This time, he is still sending 5,000 plants, and he has also replenished the shipment of 2,000 plants to the north.
If it can be sold, the number of Clivia plants in our hands will be less than 10,000 in the end. It sounds nicer to say it this way.
On June 10, the People's Daily published on the second page why "Clivia" is so popular in Spring City in the North, calling the Clivia trade a "virtual business" and clearly stating that "the construction of the four modernizations requires more practical work."
On the 13th, the Jilin Provincial Daily published its third and final editorial, saying that we cannot rely on poaching the country to drive up the price of Clivia.
Immediately, starting from the 14th, within a few days, the government took multiple measures to forcibly stabilize the market price of Clivia.
Including reaffirming the two-year Clivia price limit order and imposing a 60% transaction tax on the excess, the domestic Clivia trade has suddenly reached a freezing point.11
