Chapter 12: Hank in Action
"Your expression tells me that you are surprised. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Hank smiled and spread his hands: "But you have to know, number one, the quality of your fruit is extraordinary. Second, your fruit is unique. Thirdly, you are not a large amount of fruit. Therefore, I am aiming at the rich people! As for the poor, they don't have their share! ”
"And for the rich, is there a difference between a beautiful knife and a 10,000 American knife?"
"On the contrary, the more expensive it is, the more it they feel is worth it. Because, this shows their worth and identity! ”
Zhou Yu listened and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
He had to admit that what Hank said made too much sense.
"I'll buy all the fruit from you for twice the price, and as for what to do after that, that's my business." Hank added, "So, I thought, I should sign an exclusive supply contract with you, Zhou, what do you think?" ”
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and nodded.
Exclusive supply is exclusive supply, just like the exclusive supply of fishing paradise in China. Exclusive is exclusive, but as long as the name of Yuyin Farm is played, such a high-profit business is coveted by some people. If Hank wants to make some moths in the future, Zhou Yu is not afraid that his fruit will not be marketable.
"So," Hank held out his chubby palm, "happy cooperation!" ”
With a snap, Zhou Yu high-fived him: "Happy cooperation!" ”
...
The pursuit of money makes Hank full of energy.
As soon as the contract was signed, he didn't say much, and directly airlifted samples to major well-known laboratories in the United States to apply for identification. At the same time, I went back in a hurry and went to find those shareholders.
And Zhou Yu, holding the contract, was talking to Lin Quan.
Lin Quan was a little worried: "Boss, is this movement too big?" ”
He is afraid of the current Jade Seal Farm and will follow the old path in China. Once it is watched by those capital predators, the consequences are unpredictable.
Zhou Yu looked at the contract casually, and when he heard Lin Quan's words, his hands trembled.
The so-called once bitten by a snake for ten years is afraid of the well rope, he actually drums in his heart. But the reality is like this, how can you not be famous when doing business? What kind of business can you do if you are not famous?!
People don't know your product, is it good or bad? Is it expensive or cheap? Why buy?
So, this step is a must.
sighed slightly: "I only hope that this country is really different from the country." ”
Lin Quan nodded silently.
...
In the city of Santa Maria, in the conference room of the headquarters of the Fruit Company of Santa Marie.
A long conference table with more than a dozen chairs, and on the table in front of each chair, there was a plate, and inside the plate, there was a snake fruit and a pinch of red grapes.
Hank's fat body stood at the bottom, holding two identification certificates in his hands, holding them high, and said passionately: "Guys, our spring has arrived!" ”
"Look at it, look at these fruits, look at the documents in front of you, what is that? It's Franklin! ”
He looked forward to it, excited, put his plans together, and finally said, "So, guys, I ask you, ask you to invest more!" ”
Most of the shareholders present here are not young. Especially the chairman at the top is a thin old man with a strict face.
After listening to the picture described by Hank, his expression did not change in the slightest, he first looked at the fruit on the plate on the table, and slowly spoke: "Hank, are you sure what you said can be true?" ”
"Of course, Mr. Leoric." Hank looked very respectful to the old man: "Sir, maybe what I said can't be done accurately." But the real thing is right in front of you, and I think you can try it for yourself. ”
"Okay," Leorick bowed slightly, and a young man in black standing next to him took out a handkerchief, picked up the snake fruit from the table, wiped it first, and then inserted a small needle of unknown material into it, and then nodded, and brought the fruit to Leorik with both hands.
Leorik picked up the fruit, took a bite of it, and was suddenly stunned.
Everyone looked at him, especially Hank, who was very worried!
He couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and his fists clenched tightly.
"Good!"
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Leorick's face: "Very good fruit... Hank, this fruit contains more than twice as many beneficial elements as a fruit of the same quality? ”
"Yes, sir!" Hank looked excited and hurriedly replied.
"And a new element that has never been discovered before and is beneficial to the human body?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good." Leorik stood up and took another bite of the fruit, although it looked indifferent, but the bite seemed to be a little bigger: "Prepare some fruit for me, I think, a little after the meal, it should be a good choice." ”
As he spoke, he took a civilized staff handed over by the man in black beside him, and slowly walked out of the door: "Bring the red tico." As he spoke, the man in black hurriedly took the plate and picked up the red grape.
"Mr. Leoric, about the additional investment," Hank said hurriedly.
"Fifty million." Leorick's faint voice came: "The other shareholders are looking at it, and I will invest an additional 50 million... Spread the word, I think, your plan has a good chance of success, and I look forward to you making me more money, and of course, remember, the fruit is ready for me and sent to my estate. ”
"Okay, okay!" Hank smiled: "Don't worry, I'll prepare it for you right away!" ”
Hank was completely relieved.
As long as this old man speaks, then the other shareholders don't need to say anything at all. Everything fell into place!
To be honest, it was an accident to be able to invite this old man.
As one of the leaders of the consortium, although he is also the majority shareholder of the fruit company, the fruit company is nothing to him at all.
If it weren't for the fact that this old fellow was on vacation in Santa Barbara next to Santa Maria during this time, and for a while he was interested, Hank Hugh would have wanted to invite him.
And how good the effect of inviting this old guy is, you can see just by looking at the shareholders who are eager to take out their family funds and make additional investments.
Of course, Hank couldn't have fully embraced their investment.
After all, in his opinion, the funds required to complete the preliminary plan will definitely not exceed 200 million. Among them, the money paid to Yuyin Farm to buy fruits also accounted for the lion's share.
Before Leorik opened his mouth to 50 million, then there was only 150 million left, which was distributed to the remaining dozen shareholders.
...
Of course, Zhou Yu didn't know the situation on Hank's side, and after signing the contract with Hank, he waited for three consecutive days.
Three days later, when Zhou Yu was surfing the Internet, he suddenly saw a surprising news - it was clearly an advertisement for Jade Seal Snake Fruit and Red Grape!
These advertisements are hung on the front pages of many big websites, and they are overwhelmingly promoted!
If you change any famous web page, the first thing you will see is such news!
Playing the signboard of health preservation, attached to more than a dozen identification certificates from various well-known research institutes, and all kinds of data that brighten people's eyes, all indicate the quality of the products in the advertisement!
Zhou Yu smiled.
Websites, videos, and even TV have flooded the world with commercials in an instant!
Soon, Hank's phone call came.
"Hey, man." Listening to his voice, you can imagine how high-spirited Hank is now: "Is your fruit ready?" ”
"Of course." Zhou Yu couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"So, welcome the convoy!"
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, 10 heavy trucks with semi-trailers and long heads drove into the farm one after another. This kind of truck belongs to the eighth class heavy goods vehicle in the United States, the length from the front to the rear of the vehicle, almost 20 meters, and the load is 100 tons!
Behemoth!
These ten vehicles can transport 1,000 tons of goods at one time. And the early-maturing fruits in Zhou Yu's farm are about 5,000 tons, that is to say, at most, five trips, all the fruits can be transported away!
Hank jumped out of the passenger seat of the first big truck, although he was fat, but it could be seen from this action that his mood was very relaxed.
"Dude!"
I had a bear hug with Zhou Yu.
"Our plan is almost complete!"
His face was full of red light: "Franklin obediently flew into his pocket!" ”
"Speaking of Franklin," Zhou Yu smiled, "When will my money come?" ”
"Right now!" Hank's eyes widened, and he stretched out a furry finger as thick as a turnip: "I knew you would say this." ”
"Take out your phone and wait for the transfer information!"
Sure enough, within a moment, a text message came.
One five, followed by seven zeros.
"Fifty million dollars?" Zhou Yu said.
"Yes, man. There's no way I'm going to settle all the money for you before I sell a single fruit. Man, there's a risk to this. You should know that it's the same with any industry. Of course, if there is no guarantee that there is no risk, then full payment is not impossible, but now it is not guaranteed, is it? ”
Zhou Yu nodded, indicating understanding.
If you can start with 50 million in the early stage, it's not less. For the time being, he's not bad for money.
Of course, the money is in your own hands, and it is reassuring. It's impossible to keep it in someone else's pocket all the time.
"Man, fifty million isn't much." Hank's eyebrows fluttered: "What price is on the market, I'll give you twice it." Your 5,000 tons of fruits, even if they are all first-class grades, are at least more than 100 million. So, the big money is still to come. ”
He said: "I came here today mainly to discuss with you the classification of this fruit. Since it is necessary to draw a boundary with ordinary fruits on the market, the three grades of special, excellent and first-class are not applicable to this kind of high-grade fruits. ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he thought in his heart, it was really like this, and he couldn't help but say: "Then do you have a belly case?" ”
"Me? Of course. Hank laughed, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today." ”
Then Zhengse said: "The division of fruit grades is formulated by the Product Marketing Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture. But I think that the current grade division is no longer applicable. I am going to apply to the Marketing Bureau for three new grades on the basis of the original. ”
"These three grades should be independent of the original grade system. According to the condition, I think it should be divided into three grades: diamond, white gold and yellow gold. The one that is equivalent to the first-class grade is the gold grade, the one that is comparable to the excellent grade is the platinum grade, and the one that is equivalent to the premium grade is the diamond grade. ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yu: "What do you think?" ”
"Vulgar!" Zhou Yu gave him a blank look. What gold, platinum, and diamonds are full of the smell of money, can it be good!
"Haha," Hank laughed, "I'm making money, it doesn't matter if it's vulgar." ”
Zhou Yu nodded, this is also true. The name or something, it's good to be arbitrary, in fact, the more people can understand it at a glance, the more in line with the laws of the market.
But he said: "So, will the application be approved?" ”
After all, it is not easy to deal with the agricultural department in the United States, just like in China, if you are a businessman, you have to deal with the government department and make people change the rules.
"Absolutely." Hank laughs, "Because our fruit is actually beyond and independent of other fruits." The rules of the marketing bureau are no longer appropriate. In fact, I don't need to apply, it won't be long before they themselves will make changes according to the laws of the market. ”
"I see..."
