Chapter 219: Surprises Continue
Shi Lei is now accustomed to summarizing his harvest this year before the Spring Festival, so at this time, Shi Lei will always call Grimes and Liu Jie, the two big housekeepers, to calculate the income and expenditure of the year together, and it is also convenient to consider tax and other issues, anyway, the Spring Festival will definitely come before April, and Shi Lei can still file taxes. ↗ Top Novel, www.
Greens's surprise to Shi Lei is in this regard, although both should actually be regarded as expenses rather than income.
Looking back on the past year, many industries under Shi Lei have made great progress. For example, the first project that Shi Lei invested in after coming to Midi, the smart dressing mirror, can well simulate the effect of users after changing into certain clothes, so that they can judge whether the clothes are suitable, and they can also order this clothes directly from the Internet.
Today, the profitability of this project is very satisfactory, because their profit channels have been broadened again, not only to sell only the wearing mirrors themselves, but also to take a share of the sales profits from the merchants, and recently to open a direct link between the manufacturer and the end consumer.
While further expanding its own channels, it has actually improved itself from an ordinary smart home product to a similar sales platform. Let yourself be closer to the upstream industry, and slowly become an important channel provider.
I believe everyone understands the importance and profitability of channel providers, such as Ding Ding for book sales, treasure for retail goods, their goals are now aimed at giants such as Ding Ding in the clothing industry.
To this end, they specially extracted the built-in program in the smart dressing mirror and turned it into a more complete and complete software platform, so that users can use such a more powerful software separately from only dressing mirrors.
As long as you have a camera and internet at home, you can always choose the clothes that suit you according to your current situation. Even if you don't have a camera, as long as you save your image and dimensions in your account, you can directly use the software to simulate the effect of wearing this dress.
With such a functional expansion, it has gotten rid of the dependence on dressing mirrors and also got rid of such a shackle, allowing the company to embark on a larger market. Of course, there is a brighter future.
But again, this is another important problem, since you want to expand, you will definitely need more capital investment. Even the development of this more powerful software itself requires more manpower and material resources, so it is certain to expand the scale of financing.
Shi Lei, who had had good cooperation before and had always maintained a restrained attitude towards corporate affairs, became the priority of this entrepreneurial team.
Of course, limited by the previous contract restrictions, Shi Lei and they also have the right of priority to cooperate under the same conditions. Only when Shi Lei and the others give up their plans to continue financing, can these veterans continue to find other partners.
Shi Lei, who has seen the growth rate of this small smart home company, also agrees with their development strategy this time. He is also very optimistic about the development prospects of this software, so Shi Lei is very sure that he will continue to invest in this company.
When Lincoln was asked for their opinions, they all agreed to make an additional investment. It's just that the proportion of their capital contribution will be smaller, and this is certainly not because they are not optimistic about the development of the company. In fact, on the contrary, they are very optimistic about the prospects of this company, but this company can be said to have been discovered by Shi Lei, and they admire Shi Lei's vision very much, so they can't take advantage of Shi Lei so obviously.
At the beginning, their cooperation and investment still expressed an attitude of acceptance to Shi Lei, and now Shi Lei is their good friend. They no longer have to show their good relationship in the form of guò. On the contrary, it should be as originally thought, whoever discovers it should enjoy the most profits, especially when Shi Lei took the biggest risk at the beginning.
Now that they see that they are sure to make a profit, they come to pick peaches. It's not appropriate, it's definitely not okay to treat friends like this. Therefore, they all tacitly reduced the scale of their capital increase, and wanted Shi Lei to gain more initiative and enjoy the big harvest brought by his good vision.
The matter of this company is the first surprise that Greens brought to Shi Lei. Shi Lei had expected this. After the attitude is clear, it is necessary for Greens to continue to talk to the entrepreneurial veterans about the scale of capital increase and the occupation of shares.
Needless to say, Shi Lei's investment in the reservoir project in China. Under the careful care of my brother-in-law, the current profitability is also very impressive. I have heard my brother-in-law Zhang Wei mention that the hot spring project will be opened when it is cold soon, thinking about the comfortable feeling of soaking in the hot springs in the snow that Shi Lei experienced in the island country before, Shi Lei feels that his brother-in-law's idea is also promising.
The cooperation between Shi Lei and Alexander has always been very pleasant, and after Alexander's dessert shop project was launched, Shi Lei was very satisfied with the sales of primary processed products such as milk and cheese, as well as the sales of finished desserts. Sales are rising, which also means that profits are also rolling in. Especially things like desserts, which are still high-end goods, Shi Lei is equivalent to earning double profits from raw materials and sales.
Even the two new projects that have just been put into operation this year, the private restaurant for parents and the clothing design studio presided over by Laura, have reaped a lot of profits after only half a year of operation.
My parents' private restaurant is in the nature of playing tickets, not counting the problem of the house, just saying that their profitability is also very considerable. Of course, I didn't want to make them too tired, so the scale was deliberately smaller, which affected their results a little.
But if you compare the profit that each table can bring with similar restaurants, it is definitely top-notch. In this regard, Liu Jie also made a special explanation, because Liu Jie is also responsible for the accounts of these two projects.
Laura's studio is not bad, except for the orders at the beginning that are provided by friendship, and the people who find her to make clothes again later are all customers who rely on word of mouth, or are old customers who are very satisfied with her works. And soon these customers will become repeat customers, and even the actress Nicole has praised Laura's work.
Laura's fame has also become higher and higher under the word of mouth of these people, and many people have also dug up the scene of the last fashion event where Laura and Shi Lei appeared in New York, which further increased Laura's influence in the fashion industry.
It's just that the series of leather goods designed by Laura has not yet been finalized. In Shi Lei's opinion, leather bags that are almost the same length have changed countless appearances in Laura's eyes, and Laura is always striving for perfection in the matching and processing of many details.
Shi Lei also understands Laura's desire to make a splash with this series of works, but all he can do is open up enough leather.
Finally, of course, we have to talk about the ranch itself, which is the largest of all Shi Lei's investments, and it is also the most valuable, productive and profitable project among all Shi Lei's investments, and it is also the foundation of Shi Lei's own business. Without the output of these pastures, very few of Shi Lei's industries could continue to survive. will lose the basis for development.
The long-awaited opportunity of the New York Summer Specialty Food Exhibition provided the greatest boost to the development of the ranch as Shi Lei expected, and also gave wings to the take-off of the stone ranch. The best situation that Shi Lei could imagine became a reality.
Even the effect was unexpectedly good, so good that Shi Lei had to advance the plan for the expansion of the ranch, which led to the addition of Fox River Ranch.
Shi Lei feels that the larger area and the more dedicated Fox River Ranch will definitely be able to bring greater profits in the future, which is basically certain, unless there is any force majeure such as natural disasters.
Besides, there are also those things that Shi Lei did on his trip to Japan, and the competitors let Shi Lei dig up the roots in a tooth for a tooth. Don't worry about other competitors who can influence the pinnacle of Stone Ranch's beef?
The second piece of good news that Greens brought was based on the good momentum of the ranch, albeit another project that requires investment rather than immediate profits.
Shi Lei didn't plan to open a few more sub-ranches before, and each ranch was raised as exclusively as possible. Ease of management also improves the level of professionalism. This time, Greens collected enough information, and it was also about privately traded ranches, and Greens went to contact them and screened out a few ranches that he felt were more in line with the requirements.
The target this time Shi Lei is to buy a ranch dedicated to raising dairy cows in a large area. As the cooperation with Alexander deepened, the demand for milk from the farm also increased at a rapid rate.
Shi Lei plans to invest in a large dairy farm in one step, even if there is currently some overcapacity. It can also be used to develop some new projects, and it doesn't have to be like now, milk is always in the process of not being enough.
These pastures are basically concentrated in the Great Lakes region, which is the traditional milk-producing area of the Midi area, because the aquatic grass here is particularly suitable for the growth of dairy cows, and it is dominated by safe and reliable large-scale grazing dairy cow pastures.
It's just that Shi Lei still can't go over and take a good look at the situation of these ranches, because it's the worst season for the weather around the Great Lakes.
These ranches have the most in Ohio, but there are snowstorms all over Ohio now, and the blizzard has been raging for a while, which makes Shi Lei a little doubtful whether it is the right choice there.
For this, Shi Lei also made a special call to Hanks on the other side of the Fox River Ranch to inquire about the situation over there. Fortunately, although there was snow falling there, it did not form a catastrophic situation, and there was no loss of the pasture. Only then did Shi Lei feel relieved.
and Grims and Liu Jie planned the tax situation, how to reduce their burden, or something. After getting these twists and turns, Shi Lei sent the two chief managers away and waited alone for Laura to return from work at the studio.
However, Shi Lei was waiting for Laura's phone call, and she was very nervous on the phone to tell Sù that several stranded killer whales had been found on the beach below Shi Lei's studio, which seemed to be from the same family.
Laura asked Shi Lei to hurry over to help, because she knew that Shi Lei was originally a veterinarian, and there seemed to be some methods that others didn't understand, and she saw the changes in the animals in the pasture. (To be continued......)
