Chapter 65: Breakthrough
After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he came to the living room, half lying on the sofa, carefully pondering his next step.
He already had an ambitious plan in mind, and in order to realize this plan, he had to get rid of the burden of the sugar company as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be bound by endless meaningless trivial matters all day long, and you will not have the time and energy to take care of other things.
Before the accident of the giant ship of the sugar company, most of the huge cake of sugar sales was occupied by the sugar company, and it was difficult for other companies to match it.
Now, with the sinking of the giant ship, the vacated market share gives other companies unimaginable room to grow.
In the past few months of taking over the sugar company, by sorting out its business trajectory, while lamenting the instant collapse of the company, he also found a huge profit margin for sugar sales.
It was the large fluctuations in the price of cane sugar that led to the tragedy of the sugar company. If you can grasp such price changes, in fact, there are many opportunities in this.
Take another company in my hands as an example, the price of textiles fluctuates very little, and it does not make much profit after being busy all year round.
In contrast, the peculiarity of the seasonal fluctuations in the price of sugar, a commodity, is very obvious, and he smells the smell of wealth here as he gradually improves his business.
In the days since he left the sugar company on the grounds of hospitalization, he has planned to make sugar sales a business focus for another company. Looking around at the subordinate companies in the hall, only the performance and scale of the company in his hands are slightly better.
After the sugar company has no hope, it will be much easier to ask the government for support in the future to start their own sugar sales business.
Maybe it won't be long before all the original business of the sugar company can be taken over. By that time, the size of the company can be several times larger!
But before he could start arranging, the price of sugar was like a wild horse on the loose, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Another rapid rise in sugar prices confirms his belief that there is a huge opportunity in this market, and at the same time, he feels a little overwhelmed.
His wife peeled a plate of apples, brought them over and put them on the table, then pricked a piece with a toothpick and handed it to him, and asked, "You have resigned as the general manager of the sugar company, and it will be a pity if the company comes back to life in the future." ”
Ma Tianming said disapprehantly: "I know in my heart that this company is now in a hopeless situation." In the hall to save it, it is better to start a new stove, which will save more trouble. ”
After eating the apple in his hand, he threw the toothpick on the ground and said with a little regret, "It's a pity, it's really a little." ”
His wife leaned over and asked, "What's the pity?"
Ma Tianming said: "It's a pity that their company's business is now abandoned!"
His wife rolled her eyes and said coldly: "Why don't you take these businesses over and do it?"
Hearing this, he turned his head to look at his wife, as if he didn't know him, and said, "Hey, how can you have such thoughts? As the saying goes, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door, and this really makes sense!"
His wife laughed, "Do you think so too?"
Ma Tianming replied: "Aren't I trying to find a way, I want to bring the sugar business of the sugar company to my side, if it is done well, the company will make a lot of profits." ”
He scratched his head again and said the biggest regret in his heart: "But there is one thing, there is a shortage of people on my side, and there are no people who are familiar with this business, and this problem is still difficult to solve for a while." ”
"Haven't you completely come out of the sugar company now, and you are still the general manager over there, so you won't dig some people from there? Anyway, the company is not saved, and the workers below must know this situation in their hearts, as long as you tell them, they will definitely be willing to come with you." His wife gave him ideas.
He replied, "I've thought about it, but I can't do that." ”
His wife asked curiously, "Why not?"
Ma Tianming said: "Are you stupid? In the current situation of the sugar company, I have gone silently, and after the news is revealed, I don't know how the workers will scold me behind my back. ”
His wife thought about it and said, "yes." ”
Ma Tianming continued: "The current personnel transfer of the sugar company is very sensitive, and who leaves and who stays completely depends on their own ability, so it is difficult for others to say anything. Otherwise, whoever interferes will cause a commotion. ”
Early the next morning, he took a business manager and asked the driver to drive straight to the Zhulin Sugar Factory.
In the factory director's office, as soon as Wang Dong saw Ma Tianming, he happily greeted: "Mr. Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time!
As he spoke, he welcomed Ma Tianming and his entourage in and sat down, while he fiddled with the tea set next to the coffee table, ready to boil water to make tea.
Ma Tianming greeted him: "Director Wang, you're polite! How is the sugar selling recently?"
Wang Dong replied: "It's so-so, there are not too many customers who buy sugar this year, and it's far worse than last year." ”
Immediately afterwards, Wang Dong asked a little strangely: "Mr. Ma, why is your sugar company different this year than before, and there is still no movement?"
Ma Tianming took the cigarette handed over by Wang Dong and said, "Isn't this coming to you?"
When Wang Dong heard this, he smiled and said, "That's great, how much do you plan to want this year?" ”
Ma Tianming was anxious, so he didn't go around the bend with Wang Dong, and asked straight to the point: "Director Wang, if you sell it on a consignment, how much can you give me?"
Wang Dong took the freshly brewed tea, and was about to hand it over to Ma Tianming, hearing this, his heart chuckled, he put the teacup on the coffee table in front of Ma Tianming, hesitated slightly, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and said: "Mr. Ma, how is it consignment? Wasn't the sugar company always bought out the goods before?"
Ma Tianming said: "It's not a sugar company, it's another company. ”
Wang Dong was very surprised and asked, "Another company?"
Ma Tianming said: "Yes, it is a light industry supply and marketing company. ”
At this time, the business manager next to Ma Tianming interjected: "Mr. Ma is now the general manager of the sugar company and the light industry supply and marketing company. ”
Wang Dong immediately made a look of sudden realization, nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case." Saying this, in fact, the doubts in his heart have not been dispelled at all.
When he heard Ma Tianming say that he wanted to sell on behalf of the company just now, he felt strange in his heart: the sugar company has been buying out cash for so many years, and it is neat and neat, and it has not engaged in any consignment sales.
That's right, I heard that the sugar company planted a big fight last year. No, Wu Bin was removed because of this, did you Ma Tianming take office and become the CEO of the sugar company? What's the matter, when a new official takes office, he has to change his previous business model?
Although he didn't quite know exactly how much the sugar company lost last year, the company was so big that it didn't get to the point where it had no money to run and had to engage in consignment sales!
He hadn't figured out this question in his heart yet, and Ma Tianming said that what he was talking about had nothing to do with the sugar company, but was about another company, which made him even more puzzled.
If you are dealing with a sugar company, you have at least been friends for so many years, and you still know the roots. But even so, he categorically would not agree to Ma Tianming's advice on sales, let alone with a company that he had never dealt with.
You don't have to pay for it yourself, I won't talk about it for the time being, and I will have to bear the risk of selling high and low in your hands in the future, and you earn no risk of consignment fees, how can there be such a good thing in the world!
In contrast, Wu Bin is much more realistic, at least Wu Bin will not completely stand on his own point of view and put all the risks on the sugar factory.
No, this person should be careful in the future, don't accidentally fall into his way!
Ma Tianming was holding a teacup, seemingly bowing his head to drink tea, but a pair of eyes secretly looked at Wang Dong from the corner of his eyes, and the subtle changes in the expression on Wang Dong's face were all seen by him.
"How about it, Director Wang, our company is newly involved in this business, can you support it?" Ma Tianming put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a smile.
"Well," Wang Dong pondered the words, picked up the purple sand teapot, refilled the tea for Ma Tianming and others, and then said unhurriedly: "Mr. Ma, you also know that our sugar factory is short of funds, especially at this time, the purchase of sugarcane raw materials cannot be stopped for a moment, if the speed of capital return cannot keep up, the entire production will have to stop." ”
