Chapter 53: The Future of the Lu Family
Hearing this, Yu Xinmei's mother and daughter's faces changed slightly, and they looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, they were not housewives with only firewood, rice, oil and salt in their eye sockets, as former and current veterans in the industry, they naturally knew the hardships and dangers of the road to martial arts, but they knew that when the object was their relatives, it was still difficult to control their emotions rationally.
"Our Lu family's development has reached a bottleneck at this stage, and whether it can go to the next level in the future depends on Zhanpeng. β
And just when they exchanged glances and wanted to persuade again, Lu Longhao's sigh made the mother and daughter completely silent, no matter how anxious they were, no matter how heartfelt they were, but they also understood the priorities, Lu Zhanpeng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, in addition to his personal preferences, he also pinned a hope on the entire Lu family, and his future in a sense also determines the future of the Lu family...
Compared with the Xiao family and the Ge family, the Lu family should get involved in the medicinal materials industry earlier, and they know more well that this profiteering industry is strictly graded, like a pyramid from top to bottom, layer by layer of restrictions, layer by layer of constraints, China domestic, roughly divided into four levels, municipal-level merchants, mainly engaged in all third-level and fourth-grade medicinal materials, regional-level merchants, main second- and third-level medicinal materials, regional leaders, those top merchants, monopolize the circulation of domestic second-level and above-grade high-end medicinal materials...
As the lowest level of municipal businesses in the industry, is the foundation of this industry, the business scope is limited to a city, the largest customer base for ordinary people, to put it bluntly, is the volume of business, such as Huayuan, Xiaoshi, etc., at the top of this level, as for those wholesalers, retailers, is located in the midstream, the end, generally speaking, this level of business, a year of net profit is difficult to exceed 100 million, of course, Huayuan is a special case, bypassing the establishment of domestic and overseas trade relations, the income will naturally greatly exceed the level of peers, but Rao is so, the grade of the main medicinal materials is still strictly restricted, otherwise it will be regarded as breaking the rules of the industryγ
And the top merchants at the top of the industry, a piece of medicinal materials above the second grade may be able to get a huge profit in the unit of 100 million, the gap is huge, which can be seen.
Today's Lu family in the industry, is in the municipal business and provincial business, can be said to be the most delicate and uncomfortable stage, the last step, that is, several times the previous profit income, the next step, will be beaten back to the original shape, and even the risk of accidentally capsizing.
In terms of the two decisive indicators of industry level, the channel cannot stop the pace of the Lu family's progress, the key is safety, which is enough to match the safety of wealth and income.
According to the standard of provincial-level merchants, there must be at least one congenital powerhouse, because the main third- and fourth-level medicinal materials are the counterpart of the acquired martial arts, and imagine that a car loaded with hundreds or thousands of precious medicinal materials with a purchase price of hundreds of millions of dollars will be transported out of the remote mountainous areas of the three regardless of how many pairs of wolf-like eyes will be encountered? Even if there are three martial cultivation guards of the Great Perfection of the Acquired Period, it is difficult to deter the wolves who charge in groups.
It only takes one accident to easily ruin the merchant's profit for half a year or a year, and in a serious case, it will even directly lead to the rupture of the merchant's capital chain.
The congenital stage powerhouse, that is the lucky one who stands out from the tens of millions of people who practice martial arts, is the object of the provincial giants to compete for wooing, just like Qiu Ruoyu defines Ye Ning as a cooperative relationship, it is not the usual sense of subordinate and subordinate employment, and the Lu family does not have the qualifications to recruit such a strong person before it rises to the corresponding level.
Because the salary of the congenital strong is also limited in the industry, in the case of almost the same treatment, who does not want to enter a company with stronger strength and more ambitious development?
There is also a very important point, some trade fairs and auctions that will have the appearance of second-class medicinal materials, usually only provincial merchants are eligible to participate, and most of them are obtained by those provincial large merchants, which has a great attraction for the strong in the congenital stage.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for the Lu family to recruit congenital powerhouses from the market to complete the transformation from the municipal to the provincial level, and among the five acquired masters currently owned by the Lu family, due to their age, they have basically broken the possibility of advancing to the congenital stage, so how far Lu Zhanpeng can go on the road of martial arts training determines the future height of the Lu family in disguise...
In the room, Lu Zhanpeng in the wooden barrel was still howling like a pig, his face was plucked out by his own fingers, and his hair was messy.
Ye Ning's palm slowly stroked his back, constantly injecting true qi into his body, unlike before, which protected his heart veins, now Ye Ning was helping him reconcile his internal state.
After the most difficult time before, it was finally time to harvest, and wisps of true qi were being nurtured and born in Lu Zhanpeng's body.
Half an hour later, everything was calm, Ye Ning withdrew his palm, wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at Lu Zhanpeng's face that had just recovered from a serious illness, and smiled faintly: "You can persevere, you are not bad." β
Lu Zhanpeng shook his head lightly, even breathing was a little difficult, but his eyes flashed with excitement, as a party, he had the most direct feeling of the changes in his body, nearly half of the true qi seeds were transformed into true qi, the kind of comfort after unloading the burden, if he hadn't consumed too much at the moment, he really had the urge to laugh three times.
"I'll be here today, and I'll go out and inform your parents. After staying for another five minutes, Ye Ning pulled the door and went out, and Lu Zhanpeng said softly from behind him: "Brother Ye, thank you." β
Lu Longhao and the three of them surrounded Ye Ning as soon as they saw Ye Ning appear, and when they heard the news that everything was going well, the three hearts finally fell back into their chests, and after thanking Ye Ning, Lu Longhao personally accompanied Ye Ning to the restaurant to eat, while Yu Xinmei's mother and daughter were busy around Lu Zhanpeng.
The dinner was arranged very richly, the dishes were all hot, Ye Ning was really hungry, and he didn't care too much about the image, he ate a lot, Lu Longhao poured himself three small glasses of liquor, with a smile on his face, his expression was indescribably relaxed, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
After the meal, the nanny removed the dishes and soaked two cups of Biluochun, before Lu Longhao saw that Ye Ning was eating happily and didn't bother him, and then he spoke first: "Little Brother Ye, I won't have much to thank you, you are the benefactor of my Lu family, this love, the Lu family will never forget." β
These words are deeper than owing a favor and a promise, implicitly meaning that the Lu family will treat Ye Ning as a friend.
Ye Ning didn't know how to speak, so he smiled and nodded.
Lu Longhao said again: "Tomorrow, I will ask Haiyan to contact Huayuan, and the two parties will make an appointment to go to Sihai Bank together to sign the guarantee agreement." β
When Ye Ning heard this, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, the original agreement with the Lu family was to wait for the end of the treatment three days later before the Lu family fulfilled the promise to guarantee Huayuan, this advance was obviously a gesture of goodwill to himself.
"Then thank you, President Lu. Ye Ning didn't think much about this, and accepted it with a little gratitude.
Next, the two exchanged a few more words, Ye Ning drank half a cup of tea, and then offered to leave, but Lu Longhao pressed his palm: "Don't worry, there is something, I think it is necessary to give you a wake-up call as soon as possible, and you should prepare in advance." β
Looking at Lu Longhao's suddenly solemn face, Ye Ning frowned in a gesture.
