Chapter 217: Outer Tyrant and Inner Mole (II)
When a friend invites you to dinner in a high-end restaurant, it means that he has great respect for you and attaches importance to you, but there is no intimacy.
Dong Hao, the boss of the 'Renhe' pharmaceutical company, has many friends in Tonggu, but the people who can eat at his house are Li Jiaming and his three brothers, and occasionally a few younger sisters.
Old friends came, of course, you have to eat at home, the dishes are sent from the opposite restaurant, steamed bacon with plum vegetables, fried cabbage with cured pork liver, chestnut stewed chicken, fried wild boar with sharp peppers, etc., the wine is the valley wine in the mountains, sweet potato wine, come to Tonggu of course to eat local dishes and drink local wine.
"That's not wrong. ”
Chen Dong, who seemed to be Sven, tilted his neck, took a sip of three taels of wine, poured another full cup of sweet potato wine without changing his face, and poured it to Dong Hao after tasting it, frowning and saying, "This wine is so hard to drink." ”
"Do you know?"
Dong Hao, who has lived in Tonggu for four or five years, likes sweet potato wine with a sweet taste and a slight rotten potato flavor, and there are four or five years of youth in this wine.
Chen Dong, who was drinking boldly, poured another glass of grain wine with a high degree of alcohol, and just when he wanted to have a good drink, Dong Hao, who knew Li Jiaming too well, covered his wine glass and reminded: "After eating, Ao Ming will definitely scorn you."
"Huh?"
Dong Hao didn't explain, but talked about the childhood past of the two, both sides were brothers, and it was almost the same to wake up.
Sure enough, when the waiter at the restaurant opposite came to clean up, he had already run through several towns and towns, and Li Jiaming, who had asked about Chen Dong's movements, arrived.
"Amin, you're too cunning!"
"The mall is like a battlefield, didn't you also run a few towns and villages before you brought me the car?"
Two slippery heads!
Dong Hao, who was so drunk that he was too lazy to talk nonsense with these two profiteers, took the bicycle key in Li Jiaming's hand, and went to the factory to work overtime.
"Brother Dong, you have a good impression, right?"
"Awesome! Mushroom farmers are so scattered, you can make them not use pesticides and hormones, how can you do it?"
"Trust and respect. ”
This is a and the truth, the "mountain people" are very strict with the production management of the fungus sticks, especially the high-temperature sterilization link, it can be said that the mushroom sticks have almost eliminated the possibility of secondary contamination of miscellaneous bacteria when they leave the factory. In addition, more than 20 workers who are responsible for technical support and procurement in various towns and villages are personally responsible for the early disinfection of mushroom sheds, and even eat and live in the mushroom farmers' homes, and have a lot of time to stare at the production of shiitake mushrooms. Coupled with the company's responsibility for mushroom farmers, even agricultural materials such as plastic films and sunshade nets are sold at cost price, as long as people with no brain disease will not do more.
Chen Dong, a well-dressed foreigner, drove a car to inquire about the situation of the mushroom farmers, and even if he pretended it well, what could he tell the truth? The good-faced farmers only knew that the technicians helped them do the preliminary disinfection, but they did not know how strict the disinfection management in the factory was.
"Come on, you're just taking advantage of the low cost of labor to make people stare at production. ”
Li Jiaming, who has been exposed, doesn't care, everyone is a smart person, can you still hear the truth if you tell the truth?
When the other party comes to him for cooperation, he can't trust the locals and can't afford to pay the high wages, otherwise they won't be able to build a production base?
"Amin, otherwise, I'll buy a portion of your company's shares. What do you think of the purchase price, if we raise it a little more?"
Outside the wall to make up for the loss inside the wall?
"Yes, our company's annual return is more than 40%, and it is valued according to the price-to-win ratio of listed companies?"
What are you kidding, if that's the case, Chen Dong might as well spend a lot of money to build a production base. Shiitake mushrooms eat resources, and how much land is there with ancient talents, how many resources are there?
"Brother Dong, there are long and short inches, you are good at doing business, but you can't run a business. It's not that I look down on you, you can't build it, at least in a few years. ”
Chen Dong, who was not drunk, was a sober businessman, recalling the praise of the mushroom farmers for the kid in front of him, and reluctantly acquiesced to the words of others. If you really have that much strength, why do you need to take the initiative to seek cooperation? In other words, from the moment you stepped into Tonggu, you told others about the space and profits of the Japanese shiitake mushroom market in disguise.
Matsumoto Trading's purchase price for the 'mountain family' is 57 yen per catty, but the retail price in Japan is 420 yen per catty, and even after deducting the high cost of air transportation and customs duties, the gross profit is at least 50% or more.
What's even more tempting is that the output of the 'mountain people' has come up, and it is only a matter of time before they see their scale with an annual output of millions or even tens of millions of catties. Although things are scarce and expensive, and when the output comes up, the profit margin will decline, but it can't stand the large amount, such a big piece of fat, and it is long-term, how can the shrewd Chen Dong give up?
But Li Jiaming also knew about these situations, and he also knew that the price given by Matsumoto Trading Company was very low, but it was not ridiculously low. There are great difficulties, the Japanese are meticulous in their work, they have strict quality control, how many technicians are sent to keep an eye on the production of peasant households every year? There are also foreign trade companies that monopolize the export of Duanmu shiitake mushrooms, and they also have to work up and down; coupled with their management culture, they would rather cut wages than lay off people, and when the economy is in such a downturn, do they have to pass on the costs to suppliers and customers?
"Amin, have you been to Japan?"
There was a hint of ridicule in these words, and Li Jiaming didn't care about these words, and explained: "Do you look at me like this, like this? Brother Dong, many things can be deduced, haven't you watched "Ashin" and "Sister-in-law's Hotel"?"
It's a pity that Chen Dong didn't appreciate it and was aggressive: "You think you know Japan very well just by relying on two TV series?"
This is talking about business, when talking about business, Li Jiaming's temper is the best and the most patient.
"Tungko, the Japanese TV dramas are different from ours, and although their TV dramas also have beautification elements, they are basically faithful to life. As long as you are careful, it is not difficult to deduce the corporate culture of the Japanese people.
With all due respect, you want to act as a trading company and wholesaler between farmers and retailers, and make a lot of money by taking advantage of the management costs that are much smaller than those of local Japanese trading companies and wholesalers. But if we do this, we will be cut off from continuing to cooperate with Matsumoto Trading Company, so what good will it do us?
In business, the interests have to be divided fairly, it is impossible for us to work hard to earn a few dollars, you take our goods back to Japan, and you can earn dozens of dollars by changing hands, this is not fair!"
This kid is amazing, worthy of being a genius in Ah Hao's mouth, but Chen Dong, who was half-lying on the sofa, still joked: "Dozens of yuan? Ah Ming, what is the exchange rate of RMB against yen?"
"Hehe, with Brother Dong's ability, will he exchange yen for the bank? The price of 100 yen is not high, according to my estimate, you should still have a profit of 100 yen, and the difference in the black market of foreign exchange. Enough, we make hard-earned money, you earn easy-earned money. ”
"Hahaha", Chen Dong, who was like listening to a joke, laughed so much that tears came out, and said disdainfully: "Ah Ming, are you treating your brother as a fool? You cost less than four yuan, and you sell it for eleven yuan, and you still say it's hard money?"
Li Jiaming was not joking, and said: "Brother Dong, you can't just think about making money by yourself in business, and you have to leave enough profit space for your partners." If the profit is not enough, I would rather cooperate with Matsumoto Trading Company than bet on you. You don't even have the strength to build a production base in China, can I take a risk?"
This business is really not as profitable as Li Jiaming said, Japanese society is a strange society, not only to talk about interests but also to talk about connections, so there is such a product as a trading company. The small trading company that Chen Dong co-founded with his father-in-law did not have so many contacts to sell, so it still had to be distributed through wholesalers. According to the purchase price of 100 yen/catty, plus the air freight cost of 150 yen/catty, plus the profits to wholesalers and retailers, and their own costs, what can really reach the boss of Chen Dong is only 30-40 yen/catty.
However, this is not how the accounts are calculated, a small trading company with more than a dozen people, doing this single business, will have income, can support the staff, if not doing this business, there will be no profit, and the wages and expenses that should be paid must be paid! If it were not for the rotten thing of murdering his own son, Chen Dong, who was accustomed to making quick money, how could he honestly get married, naturalize, and take over his father-in-law's mess?
"80! I'll take over all the production of your company!"
The Japanese economy is now a pile of, and which boss doesn't worry about paying wages to his employees? A small trading company that does food wholesale can pour only a little bit of stuff, and can earn more people than a company like himself and a farmer?
Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence!
"Brother Dong, I will call you as soon as possible. That's it, I'll go first. ”
Li Jiaming turned around and left, and Chen Dong didn't stop him. The people in the mountains are poor, it's the nineties, and there are still people who eat shredded potatoes eaten by pigs, and the price increase of the yen is already very high. Businessmen, who have a business that makes money, can really be petty? It's just a bargaining trick.
