At the end of June, Haizhou has begun to enter the summer, and the heat brought by the scorching sun coupled with the rolling heat wave brought by automobile exhaust and air conditioning compressors makes Haizhou's heat island effect stronger!
In the past, people said that Wuchang, Jinling, Yuzhou and other cities were China's 'four furnaces', but over the years, Haizhou's summer temperature has tended to catch up.
After walking out of the hall of Haizhou International Airport, Xiao Qiang was almost washed back by the hot heat, and he couldn't stand it!
"Brother Jiu, it's hard to imagine that you've lived here for five years!" Xiao Qiang said to Xiao Feng while enduring the invasion of the high temperature.
By his side, Xiao Dazhi also kept nodding, and the beads of sweat on his forehead kept rolling down.
In Xiao Qiang's 21-year-old life, he has not left southern Yunnan, and most of the time he lives in Yaozhou, where the temperature is relatively cool and comfortable.
Some people say that the people of southern Yunnan are the 'treasure of their hometown', and under normal circumstances, they are not willing to leave their homeland, because there is no cool and comfortable climate and abundant food products in southern Yunnan. Although this sentence is somewhat excessive, it also reflects some of the lifestyles of the people of southern Yunnan.
Even though Xiao Dazhi has worked in a tropical area such as the Pearl River Delta for a while, he is still more able to adapt to the cool climate of Ginkgo Village, and he feels uncomfortable when he comes to Haizhou.
"It's only the end of June, and you won't know what heat is when you come back in July or August!" Xiao Feng patted Xiao Qiang's shoulder and said, "Don't feel any more emotional." Hurry up and see where Brother Ban is, he arranged a car to pick us up!"
During this time, the average temperature in Ginkgo Village was only seventeen or eighteen degrees, and suddenly came to Haizhou, where the temperature exceeded 33 degrees, even if Xiao Feng's body was excellent, it was a little unbearable!
On such a hot day, Xiao Feng was reluctant to go out, but in order to order the production equipment of 'Jinghu Dairy', Xiao Feng was reluctant to let Xu Mengyao work too hard, so he had to go into battle in person.
Just right. Take this opportunity to take Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi out to see the world. Let them feel some of the details of cross-border trade and exercise. As for Xiao Qiang, his other purpose doesn't have much to do with business.
The three uncles and nephews didn't wait too long at the airport gate, and Benjamin quickly drove the car over. Sit in an air-conditioned vehicle. After insulating the heat wave. They just felt relieved!
"Boss, go to the hotel or the flagship store first?" Sitting in the driver's seat, Benjamin turned around to ask Xiao Feng's opinion.
Benjamin and Xiao Feng are college roommates. Since he accepted the position of general manager of 'Jinghu Agricultural Products', he quickly corrected his mentality and looked forward to Xiao Fengma in the workplace!
Benjamin has also seen some news reports before, saying that there are always all kinds of conflicts when classmates become bosses and employees, and eventually turn against each other.
In Benjamin's view, this is simply an imbalance of mentality.
"Go to the hotel and meet the eighth sister first, and then go to the flagship store in the evening!" Xiao Feng asked Benjamin to drive the car back to the hotel first, and the eighth sister Xiao Jasmine and her brother-in-law Ye Fan had arrived in Haizhou this morning.
This time, Jinghu Dairy needed to purchase several sets of milk production equipment from abroad, and the transaction amount involved was as high as 50 million or 60 million US dollars, which could not be completed by the strength of the Jinghu system alone. To this end, Ye Fan's 'Yip's Trading Company' will participate in this cross-border trade as an entrepot trader.
Since Tetra Pak of Sweden, which produces equipment, has set up its Asian headquarters in Haizhou, Xiao Feng needs to go to Haizhou for face-to-face negotiations to finalize the details of the transaction.
On a hot summer afternoon, there was relatively little traffic on the roads in Haizhou, and Xiao Feng and the others soon arrived at the Jin Jiang Hotel, which was not far from the flagship store. Xiao Feng chose a business suite on the 38th floor, washed up a little, and after changing clothes, he saw the eighth sister Xiao Jasmine and her brother-in-law Ye Fan.
"Brother-in-law, it's really a bit of a shame to let you come all the way this time!" After the greetings, Xiao Feng expressed his gratitude to Ye Fan for coming!
This time, Jinghu Dairy orders equipment directly from liquid milk and milk powder manufacturers such as Tetra Pak, and will not conduct second-hand transactions through Guò Trading Company. The 'Yip's Trading Company' represented by Ye Fan acted more as a consultant in this transaction and did not make much profit from this transaction.
In fact, the average trading company rarely does this kind of thankless work, and they are more accustomed to buying equipment from abroad, increasing the price and selling it to domestic customers. However, due to the relationship between Xiao Feng and Xiao Peony, the 'Ye Trading Enterprise' made certain concessions.
"It's okay, being able to participate in such a huge trade will also be of great benefit to the growth of 'Ye's Trading Enterprise'!" Ye Fan waved his hand and said: "What's more, in the future, all kinds of packaging materials, production raw materials, etc. required by the dairy company also need to be imported to solve the problem, and now it is even an early operation!"
In the past, the total import and export trade led by 'Ye's Trade' was only two or three hundred million RMB, and now the total import of equipment from Jinghu Dairy has exceeded 50 million US dollars!
Since entering 2oo9, due to the impact of the international financial crisis, the turnover of 'Ye's Trading' has been greatly impacted, and the total trade volume handled in the first quarter of this year is only 40 million RMB.
Despite the fact that 'Ye's Trading' has been established and registered in Ludao for more than ten years, it is at best a representative of many small and medium-sized trading enterprises in Ludao and coastal areas. It often relies on the local connections of the founders and families of the company, and relies on the export-oriented economy of the coastal areas to share the profits.
At a time when the international economic environment is not good, this kind of trading company is undoubtedly the most affected.
This time, Jinghu Dairy let 'Ye's Trade' participate in the import trade negotiations of production equipment, and the follow-up customs declaration, insurance and shipping procedures were handed over to 'Ye's Trade', which can also bring two or three million business volume to 'Ye's Trade', which Ye Fan and his father Ye Shengli could not refuse.
In addition, the liquid milk packaging materials and dairy additives that Jinghu Dairy will need in the future will also rely on the import of Yip's Trading channel, which is a long-term business.
For this reason, Ye Fan came to Haizhou this morning to meet Xiao Feng!
Next, Xiao Feng, Xiao Jasmine, Ye Fan and others spread out various materials, exchanged opinions, and determined the bottom line of tomorrow's negotiations and related details. As for Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi, they wanted to slip away, but Xiao Feng took them out this time, not for tourism, they had to participate in the entire trade process.
For the two guys who have just finished high school, all kinds of international trade terms make them dizzy, and the calculation of tax rates, insurance, and shipping prices for various customs declarations make them even more confused.
Fortunately, Xiao Jasmine, who graduated from Ludao University with a major in international trade, has solid professional knowledge and enough patience to explain slowly to Xiao Qiang and the others, but let them gradually get started.
"Jiu'er, aren't you too anxious to let the two of them participate in these trades now?" Just as the two guys were immersed in researching the information, Xiao Jasmine quietly pulled Xiao Feng aside.
In Xiao Jasmine's view, no matter how good the products of Xiao's farm are, they can only be sold in China, and they are still far from exporting. And Xiao Feng's posture seems to be a bit hasty to make Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi familiar with some characteristics of international trade in a very short period of time.
"I don't expect them to become experts, but some basic situations must have a concept!" Xiao Feng paused and said: "In the future, the business of Xiaojia Farm will not be limited to China, I will not only let them learn all kinds of modern trade and management knowledge, but also learn English and Japanese!"
Xiao's Farm and Jinghu Ranch are just the beginning of Xiao Feng's food empire, and with Zizhu Space as the backing, Xiao Feng is confident that he will expand more industries to the world. In the process of expansion, he needs more helpers, and Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi are the best two choices.
They are not very old, they are less than 22 years old, they are lively and energetic, although they have not studied in college, but as long as they can persist in learning and practice, they will definitely be able to take charge of themselves in the future. Therefore, Xiao Feng will always create sufficient conditions for them to receive various exercises.
"Everything still needs to be done steadily, don't get out of control!" Xiao Jasmine also heard Xiao Feng's ambition for the first time, and in addition to being shocked, she also hoped that Xiao Feng would not blindly expand.
It is true that the exhibition of Xiaojia Farm is very smooth, but Xiao Jasmine feels that this success is built on the basis of smooth sailing, and Xiaojia Farm, including Jinghu Dairy, has not yet experienced the test of setbacks, and it is difficult to say that it is successful.
Xiao Jasmine didn't know that the preservation of Zizhu Space was Xiao Feng's greatest confidence!
Xiao Feng has been staying in the living room of the business suite, and has gone through all the details of tomorrow's trade negotiations, which can be regarded as the end of today's homework.
At half past five in the afternoon, everyone cleaned up a little, walked out of the hotel, and went to the flagship store of 'Jinghu Agricultural Products' to check the business situation, and find a restaurant nearby to eat.
When I came to the flagship store, it was the evening rush hour, and white-collar workers and government workers who worked nearby flocked to the flagship store to buy all kinds of ingredients and fruits they needed.
Now, the flagship store in the center of the city is usually crowded with people during two hours, two hours after the opening in the morning, the elderly are the main ones in the morning exercise in the nearby park, and from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., housewives and nearby office workers take home the products of 'Jinghu Agriculture' and prepare dinner.
Since mid-June, the daily turnover of the flagship store has been able to maintain about 10,000 yuan, and its products have begun to cover some high-end communities in the center of Haizhou, becoming the vane of Haizhou's high-end food market.
Of course, for the huge urban area of Haizhou and its population base, just one flagship store is not enough......!
