Chapter 231: I Can't Afford to Lose
Chen Qingdong stayed in Longwan City for a total of two days, was warmly entertained by Xu Yuanyuan, and agreed with Xu Wei that after a period of time she would come to Shuangshan Town for inspection, Chen Qingdong had successfully completed the task of Longwan and returned to Shuangshan Town.
This trip to Longwan left Chen Qingdong with a surprise and a regret.
A surprise is that Xu Wei is much easier to contact than he imagined, and he is not the kind of workplace elite like an iceberg beauty in his impression, although Xu Wei's personality is also a little arrogant, and he likes to show off his knowledge, but Chen Qingdong can also feel it, in fact, under Xu Wei's arrogant appearance, there is a very sincere heart.
For someone like Xu Wei, if she doesn't have a good impression of you from the beginning, then the possibility of further deepening the relationship with her is very small. And now, Chen Qingdong knows that at least Xu Wei has a good impression of herself, otherwise she wouldn't talk so much.
That regret is that Chen Qingdong learned that Xu Yuanyuan was on a blind date, and her blind date was still such an excellent young man in the Tang Dynasty.
Although this matter seems to have nothing to do with Chen Qingdong, Xu Yuanyuan's blind date, what does it matter to him? However, there is still a sour feeling in Chen Qingdong's heart.
Speaking of which, Xu Yuanyuan actually has nothing to do with him, he is just a colleague with him for a while. If you want to say that there is a bit of intimacy, that is, I went to the farmhouse with her to drink once, and after getting drunk, I almost had an intimate relationship, but I still tried to suppress this impulse.
Other than that, there really isn't anything else.
So do you like Xu Yuanyuan?
Speaking from the heart, Chen Qingdong knows that a beauty like Xu Yuanyuan, who is a top beauty in figure and appearance, will like it as long as he is a normal man, if he is coupled with Xu Yuanyuan's illustrious background and elegant upbringing, then it is even more worthy of his young man who is bent on climbing up, but has no big tree to rely on.
However, Chen Qingdong also clearly knew that his feelings for Xu Yuanyuan were definitely different from his feelings for Zhang Meng and Li Xiaolu.
For Zhang Meng, he didn't have any utilitarian intentions, he just wanted to marry Zhang Meng as his wife, and he was extremely eager to bring glory to Zhang Meng through his ascension, so that Zhang Meng could be proud of himself.
For Li Xiaolu, his feelings are particularly complicated, on the one hand, he has love for Li Xiaolu, but it is not simple, because he hopes to use the family power behind Li Xiaolu to help him rise, on the other hand, he also knows that Li Xiaolu's vision of love is too dreamy, too fairytale, and he is determined to be in the career, it is impossible to give her a lasting emotional experience, and the prominent background behind Li Xiaolu is a double-edged sword, which may help him to rise, or he may cut himself to the ground and completely bury his career。
After all, his current strength is too weak, and he doesn't have any capital to resist people of a slightly higher level.
Because of this complex feelings, he also temporarily maintained this "wait-and-see" attitude towards Li Xiaolu.
As for Xu Yuanyuan, Chen Qingdong knows very well that after all, he has known her for too short a time, and he must have a good impression, but he can't talk about any love for her at all.
As for the reason why he regretted and even soured when he knew that she was on a blind date, Chen Qingdong thought to himself, one reason may come from the unique possessiveness of men, as long as he sees a beautiful woman, he will inevitably be obscene, and hope that this beauty can always belong to him, not to mention that he still knows this beauty, and even almost has a relationship. And once she is with someone else, it is as if she has snatched her away from herself.
This is similar to the reason why many celebrities are reluctant to get married, and even choose to marry in secret even after getting married. Because these stars are all public lovers, national husbands or national goddesses, before they get married, although a large number of fans don't even have the opportunity to meet them, they can at least be spiritually obscene. And once these stars get married, then these fans don't even have the opportunity to be obscene, and their support for these stars will naturally decrease.
And another reason, although Chen Qingdong is reluctant to admit it, but he knows deeply in his heart that he has a deep envy and jealousy of the Tang Dynasty, who has a prominent background, has become a department-level cadre at a young age, and also serves as the secretary of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and has an unlimited future!
However, after all, Chen Qingdong is still a person who is immersed in his career and has only this one ultimate goal, and anything else that conflicts with this goal has to be conceded! He was briefly entangled in his heart for a while about the emotional problems, but he was quickly left behind and continued to devote himself to his work.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Although Chen Qingdong can't wait to be promoted every day, but the dream is full, but the reality is very backbone, so there is a tiger in his heart, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, he must boil his qualifications, wait for the opportunity, and he also needs his own painstaking management.
At present, the most important thing is the development of the farm.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already April, and the New Year of 2001 is long gone.
At the beginning of April, a spring rain fell in Liulin County that lasted for more than two days. After the spring rains, the weather gradually becomes hotter, and the bright spring is like those pear blossoms that bloom in full bloom, overnight, the white flowers are full of branches, but inadvertently, and very quickly withered and crushed into mud.
People have barely enjoyed the warmth of spring, and the hot summer has already arrived in a hurry.
After the Spring Festival, Chen Hongbing, Zheng Hongtao, Chen Qingdong, Huang Deyu they formulated the development strategy of the farm, the first batch of sent a few sales employees, put them out to be responsible for finding the market, selling their chicken seedlings, but because the green farm was not famous before, these salesmen have no experience, so there has been no effect.
In addition to Chen Hongbing and Huang Deyu to stay in charge, he and Zheng Hongtao and several middle-level leaders recruited by Lvye Farm also often go out to find markets, and the main direction is the southeast coastal provinces, because they think that these provinces have developed economies and must have strong purchasing power.
After their efforts, there are also a few interested customers came to Shuangshan Town to inspect their market, but these customers looked at their farms, but they were nitpicky, either saying that the sanitary conditions of their farms are not up to par, or that their hatched local chicken chicks are sluggish, dry feet and wrinkled skin, and some say that the umbilical hole of these chicks is not well healed, and it is not easy to feed in the future, even if they can be fed, the growth rate is too slow.
After picking these faults, these customers began to talk about the topic, because the quality of these chicks in the Green Field Farm is average, and the price is naturally not too high.
And the price given by these people not only made Chen Qingdong unacceptable, but even made them feel very angry!
Huang Deyu told Chen Qingdong that these customers said that the quality of the chicks on their farm was not good, and the chicks they hatched were powerful and alert, and the dry skin of the feet was very smooth and bright!
Huang Deyu has been to countless farms over the years to visit and guide, and has seen all kinds of chicken seedlings, so he knows that the quality of the chicken seedlings hatched by the Green Field Farm is comparable to the quality of the chicken seedlings hatched by those well-known breeding enterprises!
These customers who come to visit are so open and talking nonsense, it is clear that they are bullying their farms for their small stalls, no reputation, and urgent need to use low prices to open the market's psychological weakness!
In fact, before they started to look for the market, they had already made a strategy of small profits and quick turnover, and they guaranteed the same quality of chicks while offering these customers a much lower price than those well-known large farms.
However, these customers are insatiable, the price is too low, if the farm sells chicks at this price, then there is no need to mention the profit, but the farm has to lose money, and the more it is sold, the more it loses!
And these customers are completely a mentality of having money and not worrying about not being able to buy goods, and they have settled on the green farm, no matter how Chen Qingdong negotiates with them, and even in order to open the market, as long as they do not lose money, they are willing to sell the chicks at a price slightly higher than the cost price, but these customers bite the price to the death, without concession!
Their insincere approach made Chen Qingdong very angry, and decisively rejected their low price, even if they couldn't sell it, they couldn't lose money and make money!
These customers are naturally not timid, before leaving, but also threatened to them, we have more chicken farms in China, high-quality and inexpensive chicken seedlings everywhere, if they do not sell, then wait for mold!
After these rude customers left, Chen Qingdong and the others calmed down and felt a lot of pressure!
At that time, when developing cooperative households in Shuangshan Town, because no one competed with them, coupled with their good reputation, and the subsidy money for farmer cooperative households in chicken seedlings and feed, the cooperative households of the farm developed very rapidly, and even made them temporarily have to stop the pace of expansion!
But now after starting to put the product on the market, in the face of fierce competition in the market, they really feel the pressure!
However, since they have come to this point, even if there is a lot of pressure, they must move forward under pressure! Because this farm is their entire net worth and cannot afford to lose!
In addition, although they got a loan of three million from the rural credit cooperatives at a young age, but this money is not actually spent, because their farms are producing every day, and the feed provided to more than 200 cooperative households also needs to be subsidized a lot, so the daily expenses of the farm are very large, although the money in their accounts can still support a period of time, but if there is no input, this money is like a puddle of water, sooner or later it will dry up!
What's more, this money was lent to their farm by the rural credit cooperatives, not for free, and after it expires, they only need to repay it with interest!
If they haven't made any money, how will they repay the loan when it expires?
And if the money is not paid when it expires, then the green field farm will have to go bankrupt and be taken away by the rural credit cooperatives! Those farmers who cooperate with them have also advanced a lot of money into it, and once the green field farm goes bankrupt, these cooperative households will definitely not let them go, and when the time comes, what awaits them will be a long time in prison!
They can't afford to lose!
The only way is to keep looking for the market!
