This fall caused Xu to walk with a limp for more than a week.
Furthermore, I can only sleep on my stomach at night.
In order to cover up his lameness, he tried not to go to the company or inspect the various branches below for more than a week.
For more than a week, he basically lived in seclusion every day, reading in his own apartment.
While reading, I was also thinking about my new project - building a building.
I thought about some specific plans, but mainly I was thinking about how to raise money.
During this period, his personal secretary Tang Qing came over every day to take care of his food and daily life, because he had been struggling for more than a week, but under Tang Qing's careful care, he got a lot closer to Tang Qing.
Had some opportunities to chat with her.
After all, being idle is nothing but idleness.
Because of several small talk, he naturally knew a lot more about Tang Qing.
For example, her parents are both teachers; for example, she grew up in Mizutori City; for example, during her college days, she served as a publicity committee member of the student union; for example, she has a brother who is eight years older than her; for example, she is still single...
etc.
Although he learned that she was still single, and although Tang Qing was pretty, slender and considered a beauty, Tongdao Xu still had no other thoughts about her.
He doesn't want to turn a purely working relationship into something impure.
What's more, after his rebirth and in the past few years of doing business, he has seen too many beauties.
Too many to mention.
It was already difficult for him to tempt someone with Tang Qing's looks and figure.
However, some of Tang Qing's recent insights into work surprised him and made him re-examine Tang Qing's talent at work.
The main thing is to talk about the third chat between them recently.
That was an afternoon a few days ago.
The weather is very hot and the sun is shining brightly outside.
He was lying on the bed reading, and Tang Qing was sitting by the bed peeling apples for him. The air conditioner was on in the room, which was actually quite cool.
These are not the point.
The point is that when Tang Qing was peeling an apple for him, she gave him a suggestion. It was that suggestion that suddenly made him look at her with admiration.
At that time, Tang Qing started talking like this: "Mr. Xu, after our company established a branch factory in Sichuan Province, we probably have no plans to build a second branch factory in other provinces for a long time, right?"
She was chatting, and Comrade Xu also said casually: "Yes, our company is still in the development stage, and the financial strength is not strong enough. From the construction of the main factory to the branch factory, you have seen it, every time
This time it was either financing or a loan. How can we have the funds to build another branch factory in other provinces in a short period of time?"
He thought that if he said this, Tang Qing would change the topic.
Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, Tang Qing said again: "Hey, Mr. Xu, in this case, I have a suggestion. Maybe our factory can deliver goods to the northern provinces very quickly, and it doesn't cost too much."
More funds.”
At that time, Comrade Xu was surprised.
Turning to look at her, "Oh? Really? What's your suggestion? Tell me!"
Tang Qing was obviously a little nervous when he looked at him, and his face turned a little red, but he still mustered up the courage and did not dodge his gaze. He tried hard to keep a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm just a little immature.
I don’t know if my idea will work, so don’t be angry if I’m wrong!”
Comrade Xu laughed, "It's okay, just tell me!"
With his encouragement, she continued: "I think, well, I think since we don't have the energy to build branches in the northern provinces in a short period of time, then...then can we build a branch somewhere in the north, or somewhere in the north?"
How many large warehouses should we rent in two or three provinces? Then we can store the excess of our factory
The goods should be transported to those large warehouses for storage first. If there are orders from the north in the future, we can be nearby and ship to the dealers from those large warehouses. I think this will have the effect.
, it’s almost the same as us building a branch factory in the north, right? Mr. Xu, what do you think?”
At that time, Comrade Xu was stunned when he heard her suggestion.
Although her proposal is not yet feasible, it can open up a very feasible development route for Ximen Food Co., Ltd.'s future development.
Why do you say that?
Because whether it is the current main factory or the branch factory that has been built in Sichuan Province, the production capacity in a short period of time is not enough to meet the market demand, and all existing orders cannot be satisfied.
Naturally, there was no excess inventory, so it was sent to a "big warehouse" in a northern province.
Therefore, this suggestion has no possibility of implementation in the short term.
but……
What is foreseeable is that - with the successful establishment of the branch factory in Sichuan Province, and as the branch factory in Sichuan Province is officially put into production, goods from several southwestern provinces will no longer need to be supplied by the main factory.
As for the current six production lines at the main factory, as well as the other two production lines that are being prepared for installation, the future production capacity may be able to fully supply other domestic markets, with more than enough.
At that time, the excess inventory can really be followed by Tang Qing's suggestion just now, renting a large warehouse in a certain province in the north, or in certain provinces, and sending the excess inventory to those large warehouses.
Save it in.
In the future, we will supply markets in certain northern provinces nearby.
In this way, the delivery time of certain northern provinces can be shortened.
The effect is really not much different from establishing a branch factory in a northern province.
As for...what are the benefits of shortening the delivery time in several provinces?
You can figure this out just by thinking about it.
Still the same sentence - seize the market.
When placing an order, which dealer doesn't want the goods he or she places to be shipped to him as soon as possible?
Think about the fierce competition in the express delivery industry in the past few years. How did those express delivery companies steal such a large market for postal express delivery?
Fast delivery will definitely help us seize the market.
This is for sure.
Although the benefits of doing so are not as good as directly establishing a branch factory in a northern province. After all, establishing a branch factory can save a lot of freight from purchasing raw materials to shipping.
However, when the company has no spare capacity to build a branch factory in a short period of time, it becomes a very good plan to set up a large warehouse in one or several provinces in the north.
Ximen Yipin instant noodles is a new brand after all.
When competing with established instant noodles such as Master Kong, Uni-President, Lucky, etc., we are already at a disadvantage. Therefore, in this disadvantageous situation, any measures that can make up for the shortcomings of our own brand are very important.
It was also because of Tang Qing's suggestion that Xu Tongdao suddenly remembered the Jingdong Mall in the original time and space, and the self-operated warehouses established all over the country.
Jingdong ships orders placed by buyers from all over the world from the nearest warehouse. Therefore, the delivery time for every consumer shopping in Jingdong is often very short.
It often happens that you place an order today and receive the goods tomorrow.
