Chapter 99: Strategic Cooperation, Bad News Comes
Hearing Mo Yu say this, Liu Fei pondered it carefully, and he completely understood what Xu Qiao meant.
This kind of cooperation is actually similar to the common "exclusive agency", which uses the uniqueness of the channel to enhance competitiveness.
The small river shrimp he raises are of good quality and very competitive, and if they are only supplied to the Rising Sun Hotel, it will inevitably increase the turnover of the Rising Sun Hotel.
After all, once the name of Haimingshan small river shrimp is played, consumers will definitely not only order small river shrimp after coming to the hotel, but also order others, which will have a pulling effect on other dishes. Of course, how big this role depends on how attractive the small river shrimp is to the majority of consumers.
I am afraid that people who do business understand that it is difficult to achieve a single product to pull all products, but if this product becomes very competitive and full of gimmicks, then even if it cannot pull all products, the driving effect will be obvious, it can be said that Xu Qiao's idea is very good.
At the same time, Xu Qiao must also have the intention of taking the initiative to make profits for the sake of Liu Fei who has been doing his best to treat his wife's illness and prolong his life.
Although Liu Fei is not a person who likes to take advantage, he can hardly find any reason to refuse this obvious win-win situation.
He smiled: "It seems that I can't refuse, thank you Mr. Xu!"
Xu Qiao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't say anything to me about thanks, these are what you deserve, you just need to be responsible for raising the shrimp well, and other packaging, publicity, etc. are wrapped in me, I promise to make your Haimingshan Xiaohe shrimp popular!"
After a pause, he continued: "It's just that when the time comes, don't forget, we are an exclusive strategic cooperation. There will definitely be many hotels or restaurants asking for cooperation with you at a high price, and you must not be tempted, otherwise, I am afraid that I will cry and faint in the toilet. ”
Liu Fei laughed and said: "Mr. Xu is joking! In addition to being business partners, we are still good friends in private." I will never forget the kindness you gave me an advance payment when I was short of funds some time ago, not to mention that you also gave me such a big profit this time, if I am treacherous, I am afraid that people and gods will be angry!"
Xu Qiao pointed at him and said: "Just kidding, I still don't believe in your character? I'll let Mr. Mo draft the contract, do you sign it in your personal name or simply set up a company? I think you are not short of ambition, and I am afraid it will be a matter of time before you set up another company." ”
Liu Fei said: "This time has been a bit big, and now I still owe a debt of 1.5 million, so I won't open a company again for the time being, just in my personal name." ”
"Okay, then let's go have tea and wait. ”
The two left the office and chatted for more than an hour, and Xu Qiao shared a lot of business experience, which benefited Liu Fei a lot.
Mo Yu showed the prepared contract to Liu Fei, and Liu Fei said very happily: "No problem, let's sign it now!"
Mo Yu quipped: "You have to look carefully, don't wipe your nose when the time comes!"
"I'm afraid that you will add an extra zero, let Mr. Xu wipe his nose, and then lose his job!"
"Huh...... Such a low-level mistake, my sister has always refused. ”
……
Xu Qiao saw that the two of them were arguing in front of him, and pointed at them with a smile and said: "If you want me to say, the two of you are really right, and you don't have boyfriend and girlfriend, so you can just be together, so we are not strategic cooperation, but cooperation with our own families!"
Mo Yu glanced at Liu Fei a little shyly, and said softly: "Mr. Xu, you are laughing, how can he, the invincible little village chief, look down on me!"
She obviously kicked the ball to Liu Fei, and Liu Fei was not to be outdone, and immediately responded: "I am a small farmer who raises shrimp in the field, and Haiming Mountain is a place where birds don't lay eggs, and it is difficult for people who are used to sitting in the office like Mr. Mo to adapt." ”
Xu Qiao said: "Yes, it seems that the two of you are on it, then whatever you want, anyway, my wife and I think you two are very suitable!"
Mo Yu glared at Liu Fei fiercely, and made a pinching gesture at him, as if to say that you kid should slide your head, and see how the old lady will slowly clean you up in the future!
Liu Fei and Xu Qiao signed a contract, and when they returned to Liujia Village, they immediately expanded the scale of small river shrimp farming. Judging from the current market situation, his small river shrimp sells for 70 yuan a catty, which can only be said to be decent.
In fact, he also observed that due to the influence of the climate, the supply of small river shrimp is now very tight, although it has soared to 150 yuan a kilogram, but it will definitely rise in the future.
It stands to reason that he should take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit, but what he values is long-term interests! After all, the price of small river shrimp at this stage is too high, it belongs to the abnormal category, and it will drop sooner or later, and the range may be relatively large, so what should he do at that time?
Now that he has a relatively fixed price, he doesn't have to think too much about the fluctuation of market prices, and relying on the excellent platform of the Rising Sun Five-Star Hotel, it is more conducive to the packaging and promotion of small river shrimp, and he does not need to spend money......
The villagers also know the current market situation of small river shrimp, generally reflecting the low price, they also gave an account, he invested so much cost in the early stage, not to mention, at the current price, deducting the cost of his shrimp seedlings, bait, cages, etc., the net profit is much worse than that of big cherries and golden fruits.
However, after hearing this, Liu Fei advised the villagers to be content, he had a more long-term consideration, and this consideration was obviously not profit-oriented, crazy to make money.
As soon as he said this, the villagers talked about what his long-term considerations were, some said that it was a boiling aquatic product breeding company; some people said that they would use the Xiliu River as an entry point to raise seafood in the sea in the future, such as sea cucumbers, if they raised that thing, it would definitely be a huge profit; some people said that he might deliberately sell the Rising Sun Hotel a big favor, and he would buy the entire Rising Sun Hotel in the future.
Hearing this, Liu Fei really laughed, some of the villagers' ideas were bolder than he thought, but it was certain that he considered it, and they didn't think of it.
After he returned to Liujia Village, he came to the present step by step, seemingly casual, but in fact, he had always had an overall plan, and he would not do one thing for no reason.
After being busy with the affairs of Xiaohe shrimp for a few days, Jinjin Guo saw that it was time to harvest again, but at this time, a bad news suddenly came, which caught him off guard.
"How can this be? Our big cherries don't use pesticides!"
"This is over, and now not only the media in the province, but also the media from all over the country are vying to report, which seriously affects the reputation of our fruit company and the sales of golden fruit and big cherry!"
……
Liu Yulian and Li Yunrou saw Liu Fei sitting on the sofa in a daze, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
They never imagined that a large number of consumers would suddenly be poisoned after eating large cherries, and it is said that two more are now very seriously poisoned and life-threatening.
At present, the police have sent someone down to investigate as soon as possible, and all the people involved in them can't go anywhere, the only thing they can do is to wait for the results, but they all know in their hearts that if they continue to wait like this, how much will their loss be!
Perhaps, as Liu Fei said before, maybe he will go back to the pre-liberation period one night and become a beggar.
Miss Liu has been silently observing everything they have done these days, rarely commenting or even asking, and now that something like this has happened, she has become the most calm one.
She glanced at the few of them: "At present, the people of the whole village are panicking, worried about suffering huge losses, you must hold your ground! It is estimated that the people who are touching the police will soon come to a conclusion, and once it is determined that the responsibility is not yours, then the pressure on your side will be much less." ”
Liu Fei stood up and walked a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Someone must be making trouble behind this matter, I think the person behind the scenes didn't want to put the responsibility on us at all, he also knew that it was difficult to do, the reason why he did this was nothing more than to make my reputation and the reputation of the fruit company stink, so that we would be struggling in the future!
Miss Liu frowned and said, "Cyanide? I remember that the big cherry pits contain cyanogenic glycosides, and crushing and eating them in the stomach will form this kind of thing that can cause poisoning to people." ”
Liu Yulian was shocked: "Ah? No, I used to eat cherries a lot, and I seem to have eaten cherry pits, so why are I okay?"
Liu Fei said categorically: "That's not the reason! The cherry pits contain very little cyanogenic glycosides, far from reaching the dose of poisoning, each gram of cherry seeds is converted into cyanine is only a few tens of micrograms, such a small content, an adult has to eat at least a thousand cherry pits, and they have to be chewed all to be poisoned, do you think anyone will eat like this?"
Miss Liu said: "Then it can only be caused by pesticides or fungal infections, but your cherries are not sprayed with pesticides, and fungal infections don't make sense, unless someone else secretly sprays pesticides containing excessive cyanide while you are not paying attention!"
As soon as they heard this, Liu Yulian and Li Yunrou suddenly realized that they had to admire that this young lady knew so much, not only could she run such a large group company, but she even knew this knowledge, which was not simple.
Liu Fei also glanced at her in surprise, and then coughed dryly: "I also think it's very likely to be the case." But having said that, we still need to give the official results, and we don't count. ”
Miss Liu said: "Of course, but we can't sit still here! Liu Fei, aren't your medical skills very good? You can specifically treat those two critically ill people, and then here, Yun Rou will convene media reporters to hold a press conference to inform everyone of the latest progress on behalf of the company in a timely manner to avoid rumors." Finally, don't think about the loss for a while, and try to deal with it with as many sincere measures as possible, such as free medical expenses with proof of purchase. ”
After a pause, she continued: "Since the big cherries are all sold online and have vouchers, this should be easy to solve. In addition, Liu Fei can provide free medical treatment and help them see a doctor for free, and in addition to being poisoned, he can also see if they have any other diseases! In short, we must try our best to save their reputation now. As for finding out the real culprit behind the scenes, I estimate that it will be difficult to catch it for a while and a half. ”
Liu Fei has also considered some of the measures she said, but they are not as specific as she thought, especially the free clinic, it is impossible to avoid this poisoning storm at present, and it is undoubtedly a good choice to divert everyone's attention.
With his superb medical skills, he can certainly successfully turn his attention to his side, but in this case, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to keep a low profile in the future......
