Chapter 9 Cooperation
"Mr. Lu, I talked to you about the cooperation plan before, I don't know what you think about it." Liu Jie's voice seemed very calm.
Lu Yang said regretfully: "I also want to cooperate with Meifu Supermarket, but I can't accept your plan." ā
"We can talk about this plan again......" Liu Jie said busily.
"Forget it, Mr. Liu, my bottom line is very simple, no one is allowed to interfere in the matter of Zhuguo planting, we can cooperate in sales, if Meifu Supermarket agrees to this plan, I welcome cooperation, if you don't agree, then you can only be sorry." Lu Yang didn't have the heart to make a mistake with Liu Jie, and once again reiterated his conditions.
Liu Jie was silent for a moment.
"Mr. Lu, if you choose this plan, what can Meifu Supermarket get?"
"The exclusive agency of Minnan Province." Lu Yang said without hesitation.
"No! We want agency in the country! Liu Jie put forward conditions.
Lu Yang smiled angrily: "Mr. Liu, if you want to cooperate, show sincerity!" As far as I know, Meifu Supermarket is only open in Minnan Province, when did your branch open to the whole country? Moreover, Mr. Liu, you have to understand one thing, even if I don't cooperate with your Meifu Supermarket, I still have a lot of choices, I believe that when Zhu Guo's fame rises, even a big supermarket like China Resources will not ignore me. And you have no choice! ā
Feeling Lu Yang's affection, Liu Jie stopped persecuting.
"Mr. Lu, I attach great importance to this cooperation, otherwise, I would not have contacted you. Well, in principle, we agree with your cooperation plan, but we will talk about the specifics again. ā
Hearing Liu Jie's concession, Lu Yang smiled.
"Okay, we'll see you at the old place in two days." Lu Yang hung up his phone.
With a consensus on cooperation, Lu Yang and Meifu Supermarket soon reached an agreement, which stipulated that Lu Yang would grant the exclusive agency rights of Zhu Guo in Minnan Province to Meifu Supermarket, and at the same time provide at least 100,000 Zhu Guo to Meifu Supermarket every month at a price of 5 yuan each. Meifu Supermarket has the obligation to publicize Zhuguo and maintain Zhuguo's reputation. As for the pricing of supermarkets, Lu Yang only has the right to build yƬ and has no right to decide.
Considering Luyang's current production capacity, Meifu Supermarket almost monopolizes the entire Zhuguo market, which Liu Jie prepared in advance.
However, he obviously didn't expect Lu Yang to expand the cultivation of vermilion fruit so soon.
Reaching a cooperation with Meifu Supermarket, Lu Yang became more cautious, this time Liu Jie made concessions in the choice of cooperation plan, but set harsh conditions in other aspects, such as liquidated damages clauses. According to the agreement, if Lu Yang fails to produce the corresponding amount of Zhu Guo as scheduled, he will be compensated with a huge amount of liquidated damages.
ā¦ā¦
"It's Mr. Liu, Zhu Guo doesn't have any problems, it can be listed as scheduled, yes, this batch of 200,000 pieces, there will be no less."
Liu Jie also attaches great importance to this cooperation, Meifu Supermarket started in Fenglin City, and its positioning is a local supermarket with a price close to the people. However, at this point in development, Meifu Supermarket has fallen into a bottleneck and has been unable to break through Minnan Province for a long time, and Liu Jie, as the general manager, is quite interested in this.
The appearance of Zhu Guo gave him hope to improve the status of Meifu Supermarket.
In Liu Jie's eyes, the quality of Zhuguo is not lower than that of any fruit, and it is also unique, which is simply a shining signboard. Originally, Liu Jie wanted to get Zhu Guo's cultivation method so that he could get rid of Lu Yang and go it alone in the future, but he didn't expect Lu Yang to be fooled, so he had to compromise in the end.
As for the pricing of Zhu Guo, Liu Jie sneered in his heart, Zhu Guo will be established by him as the signature product of Meifu Supermarket, and the price will naturally not be low, at least 10 yuan a piece.
Just when Lu Yang was working hard for Zhu Guo, Meifu Supermarket also began to make efforts to publicize. All of a sudden, all Meifu supermarkets in southern Fujian Province have set up advertisements for Zhu Guo.
Since Zhu Guo has only been sold in Fenglin City and has not been seen in other places, the publicity effect of Meifu Supermarket is not very good. Liu Jie also knows this in his heart, but he doesn't care, sometimes it is true that the promotion of this thing cannot be immediate, but as long as you insist on investing, there will always be an effect.
During this period, Luyang's Tianxin Planting Company was finally established. The cost of adding a piece before and after, Lu Yang spent tens of thousands.
"Now I'm the boss." The moment he got the business license, Lu Yang felt the joy of success, left Shencheng in May to now, in half a year, he turned from a wage earner to become a boss, and the feelings during this period can only be understood by experience.
Of course, for the time being, Luyang's Tianxin Planting Company is still just a leather bag company, with no office space, no office staff, and no business.
"It's only temporary." Lu Yang comforted himself.
In order to fulfill his desire to be the boss and play the prestige of the boss, Lu Yang began to recruit people after he finished the affairs in Zhu Guodi.
The first employee of Tianxin Planting was Ge Jiefang's son, Ge Jianjun.
Since Lu Yang agreed to cooperate with the villagers to plant Zhu Guo, Ge Jiefang called his son Ge Jianjun, who works in Zhejiang Province. Ge Jianjun was a filial child, and although he didn't know what his father was calling him to do home, he came back immediately.
Not long after Ge Jianjun came back, Lu Yang met with him. This person is a sincere man, tall, but his personality is very gentle, and he is careful, which is very in line with Lu Yang's standards.
In this way, Ge Jianjun passed Lu Yang's "interview" and became the first employee of Tianxin Planting.
"The cultivation method of vermilion fruit is very simple, and the maintenance is not complicated, you see, here is the key point to pay attention to...... The flowering stage of the fruit is very critical, if the flower is not fully fertilized, the ripening time of the fruit will be affected, which in turn will affect the quality of the fruit......"
In the field, Lu Yang and Ge Jianjun checked the Zhuguo saplings one after the other, and from time to time, Lu Yang would mention a few words, and Ge Jianjun, who was tall and tall, was like a primary school student, holding a small notebook to remember Lu Yang's words, and his attitude was very serious.
"The planting of vermilion fruit is these problems, and we must pay attention to the fact that in the planting process, pesticides must not be used, and chemical fertilizers should not be used, so as not to affect the taste of vermilion."
Lu Yang is teaching Ge Jianjun the planting technology of Zhu Guo hand-in-hand, Ge Jianjun is also a fast learner, and in about a week, he has almost solved the problem.
Later, Ge Jianjun, as a representative of Tianxin Plantation Company, began to train the villagers of Dayan Village in planting vermilion. At this time, under Ge Jiefang's call, more than 30 young people in Dayan Village had returned from outside. After figuring out the planting prospects of Zhuguo, these people all chose to stay and became the first farmers to cooperate with Tianxin Plantation Company.
Just when Lu Yang didn't know it, there were suddenly some reports about Zhu Guo on the market.
"Recently, a new variety of fruit has appeared in the fruit market of our city, whose name is the same as the legendary fairy fruit Zhuguo. According to our reporter's understanding, Zhu Guo was well received as soon as it was listed. Citizens who have tasted it say that this fruit is delicious and nutritious, and it is far from any kind of fruit on the market. ā
According to the test results of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the nutritional content of the vermilion fruit is extremely rich, especially the content of iron, calcium and vitamins are far greater than other fruits, and long-term use can effectively improve the human body's physique, and its effect is no less than the popular nutrient solution on the market.
At the beginning of October, Minnan TV reported on Zhu Guo in the evening news column, which highlighted the nutritional value of Zhu Guo, which attracted widespread attention.
"Really, a fruit has a stronger effect than those nutritional liquids?"
"Who knows, if you haven't eaten it, where will this fruit be sold?"
"There are very few on the market now, but there are vermilion fruits in the latest promotional advertisement of Meifu Supermarket, which is said to be on the market in mid-to-late October, so you can go and see it then."
ā¦ā¦
Lu Yang didn't know about this news, if he knew, he would definitely praise Liu Jie's methods, and actually asked the provincial TV station to advertise for him, worthy of being the general manager of Meifu Supermarket.
At this time, Lu Yang had already left Fenglin City and returned to his hometown Huanghuai City.
Huanghuai City is located in the south of the Central Plains Province, with the Huanghuai Plain in the north and the Dabie Mountain in the south. However, the development here is relatively lagging behind, and there are no special industries, so young people have gone out to work, and those who stay at home are basically farming.
This time he came back as usual, Lu Yang first took a plane to Hankou City, and then took a train back to Huanghuai.
"I've arrived, yes, I'm at the train station right now, and I'll take a taxi back." As soon as he got off the train, Lu Yang received a call from his father Lu Xinguang. Lu Xinguang is a driver, originally he planned to come to the train station to pick up Lu Yang, but Lu Yang refused, after all, it is still very convenient to take the car outside the train station, and there is no need to let his father suffer.
When he returned home, Lu Yang saw the worried eyes of his parents.
"Xiaoyang, you said that you quit your job in Shencheng, did you encounter something?" Mother Zhang Chunfang asked worriedly.
