Chapter 268: The Difficulties of Being a Business (I)

The 80s and 90s were a magical era, although there were twists and turns in the domestic economy, but a little adjustment immediately developed at a high speed, and all kinds of bold lucky people seized one or two opportunities to quickly expand the enterprise. It is precisely these golden 20 years that have established their future position in the economic field, and also given them the capital to talk about on various occasions in the future.

Li Jiaming's partner, Chen Dong is undoubtedly a lucky person with good luck, relying on the tens of thousands of yuan borrowed from Fa Xiaona, he resolutely threw down his almost arrived degree, ran to the Sino-Soviet border to toss, and finally dug the first pot of gold in his life.

Chen Dong returned to Japan, where he had stayed for three years, married a wife, became a naturalized citizen, and turned into a Japanese Chinese businessman, legally smuggling cars, exporting them to domestic sales, cheating tax refunds, and reversing foreign exchange, etc., and continued to make a fortune by exploiting loopholes in laws and policies. Seeing that the domestic laws were becoming more and more perfect, this opportunist began to truly transform and started a serious foreign trade business.

Wealth is determined by heaven, everything is fate, and there is really three points of truth in this statement.

Chen Dong took the initiative to cooperate with Li Jiaming through Dong Hao, although he was forced to buy 20% of the shares of 'Mountain People' at a high price; It also forced people to mortgage real estate and made a huge low-interest loan for yen, but they also found a small cash cow. He is a small trading company that directly faces retailers, and he can earn a net profit of about 50 yen / catty without going through the exploitation of large trading companies and wholesalers, and the shiitake mushrooms he bought from Li Jiaming can also earn about 50 yen / catty after deducting various expenses in Japan.

Don't underestimate this 50 yen, in Japan, where the development of all walks of life is highly mature, it is not a small profit, not to mention the spread on the foreign exchange black market. And behind this 50 yen is a large amount, an annual output of 10 million catties, that is, a profit of 500 million yen a year, which is greater than the sum of his other businesses. No wonder Ah Hao doesn't do a good smuggling business, and wants to take a trip to the industry, as long as the product is marketable, making money is more scary than the sideways!

Now that the company has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on research and development, the white fungus and fungus have finally entered the trial production stage, why don't he hurry over? Japanese people are not interested in white fungus, fungus and the like, but Chinese people like it? Just now, looking at the snow white fungus growing on the fungus stick, Chen Dong, who was sweating profusely and could afford the chicken skin blown by the air conditioner, felt that this was Grandpa Mao.

This is a good thing, and it is regarded as a nourishing medicine by the Chinese people. The white fungus in Tongjiang, Sichuan Province and Gutian in Fujian Province is good, but the production cycle of Duanmu cultivation is long, the yield is low, and a small amount of domestic sales in addition to exports is not something he can get a piece of the pie at all. Now, the company spent a lot of money and finally developed the white fungus bagged cultivation technology in the bagged cultivation technology of shiitake mushrooms.

The two went around several other planting rooms, and Chen Dong was very satisfied with the company's non-use of pesticides for disinfection as always, which means that it can be exported to places with Chinese people all over the world! When the two returned to the study, Chen Dongcai expressed his opposition to the price agreed between Li Jiaming and Deng Hao.

"Amin, it's too high!"

Is 60 yuan / catty high? It is really not high, and the growth environment of Tremella is extremely harsh, and the temperature must be controlled at 22C~25C and the humidity is about 70%. If you want to grow a very good shiitake mushroom, you have to use air conditioning to simulate the most suitable growth environment, an 80-square-meter mushroom room, a day of photoelectric costs are more than 30 yuan. What's worse is that white fungus is not as good as shiitake mushrooms, and the ratio of fresh to dry has reached 16:1. In other words, 16 catties of fresh white fungus can be dried out of one catty of white fungus.

"Amin, this price is not competitive."

"Really?"

Picking up the tea jar on the desk, Li Jiaming poured most of the jar down, wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, you are also a shareholder of the company, don't sit crookedly with your butt." ”

It is indeed a major shareholder, but Chen Dong's interests are in the sales link, how can he agree to such a high wholesale price?

"Amin, this price is not profitable."

"Brother Dong, you have to discuss this matter with Deng Hao."

"You're the boss behind the scenes, I'm not looking for you, who are you looking for?"

Nonsense, it's just that the spicy woman of the eldest sister can't be even, and she just wants to set up favors and reduce the price. However, Li Jiaming really couldn't figure it out, he didn't expect the output of white fungus to be so low, and the ratio of dried and fresh was so high, the white fungus in his previous life was indiscriminate, and no one wanted twenty or thirty yuan a catty.

But doubts are doubts, and things that should not be given in will never be compromised, Li Jiaming, who was joking, opened the drawer, took out a color photo from it, and handed it to this unprofitable businessman. The photo shows a bulk white fungus in a shopping mall, with a price tag of 93 Hong Kong dollars/500 grams, which was taken by his brother-in-law in a large shopping mall in Hong Kong. Now the white fungus is cultivated by duanmu, not only the yield is very low, but also greatly affected by the temperature, and the price is not high.

The shrewd Chen Dong looked at the photo in his hand, and his heart was really not good. Although the interior has a large population, the economy is not developed, and the economically developed Taiwan and Hong Kong have become the main markets.

Domestic is not better than overseas, the more expensive things, the more retailers earn, if you really buy at a price of 60 yuan / catty, he Chen Dong sells in China, and he can't even earn a few hairs.

"Amin, business is not like this, you have to leave enough profit margins for agents, wholesalers, and retailers. We are not as good as Hong Kong in the mainland, so the high price cannot break the cost at all, and if we want to enter the existing sales channels, we must have an advantage in price in order to let the retailers help us. ”

Of course not, the customer is God, but what the retailer sells, the customer has to buy, who let this be an era when the channel is king?

Li Jiaming, who was smiling, took out another photo from the drawer, which was just sent by the eldest sister from Hong Kong. In the photo, the eldest sister, who looks like a white-collar beauty, is standing side by side with a middle-aged man who is Sven, holding a bag of dried white fungus in her hand, taking a group photo in a large supermarket. The letter said that she talked about the entry of Hong Kong's Parknshop supermarket, and the middle-aged man was the manager of the supermarket's dry goods department.

The packaging of the dried white fungus of the 'mountain people' in the photo looks exquisite and high-end, but there are only four dried white fungus in excellent condition, and the packaging bag is also marked with a 'suggested retail price of 9.8 Hong Kong dollars'.

"Brother Dong, our wholesale price is 60 yuan / catty, my eldest sister has already ordered 1 ton, and I called yesterday to add 0.5 tons, how much do you want?"

"This? Ah Ming, selling white fungus in China, is not sold like this! ”

, people who have been in Japan for a few years, and who almost got a degree, still come to this with Lao Tzu?

O profiteers!

Li Jiaming handed over another cup of cold tea that had not moved, and jokingly said: "We are a regular company, not a small workshop, which regular company is willing to sell land and stalls?" ”

It's dark enough! It's rape enough! 45 grams are sold for 9.8 Hong Kong dollars, 1 catty is 108.5 Hong Kong dollars, which is 15.5 yuan / catty more expensive than the bulk one, plus the difference between the ex-factory price and the retail price, it can be combined to 48.5 Hong Kong dollars / catty profit margin, wholesalers and retailers will have enough money.

Customer? Thrifty housewives go to dry stalls, and customers who want to save time and save face should pay a little more money.

Seeing that he couldn't play with others, Chen Dong, who admitted defeat, drank all the cold tea, and then picked up another cup and drank it.

"According to what you said, it's 60 yuan per catty, and the domestic market belongs to me!"

"It's none of my business, you go and discuss it with my sister."

Chen Dong, who was still smiling just now, stopped smiling and played with the taste: "Ah Ming, it's a little too much, right?" ”

This is a real villain, but Li Jiaming really likes to deal with this kind of real villain, and he talks about everything first, so as to save himself from making small moves under the stage in the future.

"Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I just supply it at a price of 60 yuan per catty, if you can't eat it, Lao Tzu will find someone else."

What I want is this sentence, Chen Dong, who specially came to Chongxiang to find Li Jiaming, only then did he clarify his true intention: "Is it? The packing factory is in the hands of your sister, can I compete with him? ”

This is really a real villain, the funny Li Jiaming scolded with a smile: "If you can't talk, then move the factory back and save yourself from arguing here." ”

That's a pleasure!

Chen Dong, who was a tyrant and a traitor, was finally relieved, and chatted with Li Jiaming about making people grab extra points, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Ah Ming, my brother has a bit of a way in the capital, do you want to help you get an exceptional admission quota or something?" ”
