Chapter 59: Appearance
The company carried out its work in an orderly manner under the management of Shu Yue, and Li Ya was completely reduced to the role of a miscellaneous worker. In the cities and suburban towns near Vancouver, leaflets were distributed, and the newly formed companies involved in the trade were almost all next to each other on a not bustling street, so they joined forces to publicize it. As for the warehouses, they are located in the suburban factory area, many of which have long since closed down, and the houses are large and cheap to buy or rent.
The factory building bought by the company has been empty for two years, no one manages and maintains it, and the gate is full of rust and the same rusty locks are hung on it. Through the iron gate, many weeds growing one or two meters high in the yard, the windows were covered with dust, and a few pieces of glass had been broken. Li Ya's task is to take the aunts and even grandmothers who invited to help clean the warehouse and remove the weeds in the front yard.
This factory covers an area of more than ten acres, of which the construction area is only more than three acres. The factory building is tall, although it looks quite dilapidated, and it is suitable to maintain it as a warehouse.
After signing the contract, the domestic decomposition task, the mobilization of goods, loading and departure, only half a month, the fleet arrived at the port of Vancouver, which is the fleet under the name of the first ship king.
The fleet arrives at various companies and gets busy, receiving goods, passing through customs, and then sending a small amount to the company for display and for sale, most of which goes into the warehouse, and then distributes the goods to dealers.
When the goods arrived, they were waiting for the opening, Shu Yue was busy with his subordinates until the evening every day, Li Ya as her boyfriend, this was a good time to be courteous, and she changed her tricks to comfort Shu Yue with delicious food, and massaged at night to relieve fatigue.
Shu's father felt that Li Ya should be alone as a man, and thought that Li Ya should continue to study, and it was best to go to a university to improve his ability. But Shu's mother was very satisfied with Li Ya, thinking that her daughter had found a boyfriend who loved her. And Shu Yue, if Li Ya can run the company by herself, then what will she do? Will she be a vase? She is not willing! And according to Li Ya, she will do so much, as long as she has money, she can hire someone. For example, the lawyer they use now is a law firm, and the tax payment is an accounting firm, and they are quite professional. Even the general manager of the refrigerator factory is a newly recruited professional manager.
Ready, on April 3, the company opened, and all dealer stores were opened at the same time.
After the opening, the company's store was flooded with a group of young people, who were mainly attracted by Chinese character shirts.
Soon the young people left after shopping, and no one came, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a crowd.
The same is true in other cities, many dealers are out of the company, everyone is very familiar, they call each other to inquire about the situation, and finally call the company, Li Ya comforted and said: "Our goods are all high-quality and inexpensive things, and the main force of shopping is the people at the bottom, especially women." Let's wait for the crowd to get off work in the afternoon. ”
People in the city have to go to work, but many people who live in small towns don't have to go to work, especially women, get leaflets and discuss them, and then take stock of what they need, and finally calculate that they can save one-third of it, which is not a small amount for them who are living a very tight life. So I decided to go and see it when it opened. And those who don't have time to go into the city also suggest going to the shops in the town to have a look, and bring some back if appropriate.
Therefore, after the dealers suffered for more than an hour, there were people in the store, and the people who came were all driving cars, and the pickup trucks were the most popular, and the townspeople themselves came, and there were also trucks, which were the owners of the small town stores.
When people enter the store, they really appreciate what good quality and low price are! As soon as the salesperson introduced that it was cheaper than the leaflet, the townspeople said, and the clerk explained with a smile: "Sir, the price on the leaflet is the final retail price we give." For example, the small town store sells our goods, and it also has to make money. With us, one less procedure is missing, the cost is reduced, so the price is lower. ”
The low price surprised the townspeople and stimulated their desire to buy, and the inspection quality was good, so they rushed to buy it.
Standing in front of the window on the third floor and watching the waves of people coming, Li Ya couldn't help but sigh: "There are a lot of poor people everywhere! Then he laughed, "But I like it, and I can't wait to get the last penny out of them." ”
Shu Yue said with a smile: "The existence of our company can enable them to live a better life. Even if they run out of money, they will be willing. "Of course, willingly, a piece of clothing only needs more than half of the previous money, a pair of liberation shoes, trade name labor shoes, only a quarter of the money, although the material is different, but it is better to wear and work, comfortable and breathable.
In the evening, through the phone summary, and then Shu Yue reported the news, everyone shouted excitedly, the thick fatigue on their faces disappeared, replaced by excitement! Yes, they all invested money in the company, and now it is off to a good start, indicating a wonderful prospect, as a shareholder of the company, of course happy to make money.
As time went on, customers shared their purchases with relatives and friends, various dealers promoted them, expanded their reputation, sales rose steadily, and more Americans approached James with the intention of working together. Of course, this American is also a down-and-out guy who has just lost a fortune in engaging in a little trade between Canada and the United States.
James was an adventurous man, and Quebec was just getting started, and after a conversation with him, he planned to go to the United States. Li Ya felt that the sky was his limit! Since he dared to go, he promised him to prepare some goods and send them to him first. Then, according to the sales situation, notify the domestic preparation of the goods. In addition, the renovation of the refrigerator foundry is nearing the end, and Shu Yue is invited to inspect, at this time, it is just a polite invitation, after all, there are technicians stationed there, and there is no need for Shu Yue, the president. However, since she was going to sign the contract, Shu Yue also planned to take a look and show her attention.
There are many Chinese in Canada, and after the people who organized a group to trade in China returned, more and more Chinese returned to China to visit their relatives and seek their roots, and the flight from Vancouver to Beijing was normal, basically twice a week. In the past, although there were air routes, there were few exchanges between the two countries, so there were few flights, and they did not fly once a month.
Getting on the plane, Li Ya said: "The flights between the two big countries only fly twice a week, which shows that there is a serious lack of communication between the two sides. Perhaps Canada should accept more Chinese students to study abroad, and we can suggest to China to increase the number of international students after returning to China this time. ”
Shu Yue smiled: "Studying abroad requires money, do you think everyone is like you?"
This is also a kind of "why not eat minced meat"? Li Ya thought that he was still out of touch with reality. Asked Shu Yuedao: "Then what can be done?"
Shu Yue said: "You can donate to the university, such as one million, on the condition that a certain number of Chinese students be enrolled." When international students come here, they will be given a part of the scholarship every year as tuition and living expenses. ”
The donation is not much, but the tuition and living expenses of international students are a troublesome matter. Li Ya didn't know how much it would cost, but even if a student had 5,000 Canadian dollars a year and a four-year school period, what about 20,000, 10, 200,000, or 100 students in "Deng, Xiao, and Ping at the Turning Point of History"! No wonder in "Deng, Xiao, and Ping at the Turning Point of History," Liu Xiyao, as a major minister and chief, would be shocked when he heard that 3,000 international students were dispatched. However, Li Ya still decided: "Just a hundred, and two million is not spent at once." ”
Shu Yue, as the actual manager of Li Ya's assets, said helplessly: "The farm only has input but no output, although the refrigerator factory has made a lot of money, but the purchase of cattle and trading companies have all been spent, and now the company's cash will not exceed one million." ”
Li Ya thought about it, but still said: "It's okay, I still have a small treasury to move." ”
Shu Yue was also curious about Li Ya's small treasury, after all, donating 10 million to China came out of the small treasury. Asked, "Tell me honestly, how much money is in the small treasury?"
Li Ya said: "It's not much, it's only one or two million." ”
"God, where did you get so much money?" Shu Yue asked in a low voice, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Shipwreck!" Li Ya said calmly: "Two treasure ships." I found them and salvaged them with my partner. So, you got it?"
"The Spanish treasure ships, the two salvaged by Mel Fisher, are the most valuable shipwrecks in recent years. Shu Yue asked.
Li Ya nodded.
