Chapter 326: Buying a Tea Factory
On the way here, Liu Qingying had already told Wu Qingyuan something about Qin Yu and revealed to him about the hidden family.
Wu Qingyuan also knew that those hidden families that had lasted for thousands of years had a deep heritage and had many treasures that ordinary families could not have, so he would not deliberately ask about the specific origin of the mutated Biluochun tea leaves, let alone stupidly try to occupy those mutated tea trees.
After drinking a pot of tea, Qin Yu mentioned the matter: "Mr. Wu, listen to Mr. Liu, do you intend to sell the Wujia Tea Factory?" ”
"Not bad." Wu Qingyuan nodded and said: "The tea industry is sluggish, coupled with its own poor management, the Wu family tea factory has been losing money for three consecutive years, and if it does not change hands as soon as possible, the loss will only get bigger and bigger." ”
Qin Yu frowned: "The tea factory is the foundation of the Wu family, is it really sold like this?" Does Mr. Wu want to change careers to do other businesses? ”
"That's not it, we have hundreds of tea shops in Wujia Tea across the country, and we used to mainly deal in our own tea, and we will introduce other brands in the future." Wu Qingyuan said that this is not a trade secret, so he did not hide it.
After a little pondering, combined with some learned economic knowledge, Qin Yu understood that due to the recession of the tea market, the sales of tea were not smooth, the production volume of the tea factory also declined, and the marginal cost increased, causing the Wujia Tea Factory to turn from profit to loss.
If you don't produce tea, but only do sales, there is still a certain profit to be made.
"Mr. Wu, I think Mr. Liu has already told you, I don't know much about the tea industry, so I won't enter the tea market in a big way for the time being, I want to buy a tea factory first, if I can't turn a loss into a profit, I won't lose too much." Qin Yu said slowly.
Wu Qingyuan also knew that it was almost unrealistic to let Qin Yu eat the Wu Family Tea Factory in one bite, and he only hoped that he could sell part of the factory first.
"I understand what Mr. Qin means, at present, there are a total of seven factories in the Wujia Tea Factory, if Mr. Qin is interested, we can visit them one by one and pick the one you are most satisfied with." Wu Qingyuan said.
Glancing at Liu Qingying, Qin Yu was still a little surprised, Wu Qingyuan's attitude was too good, he was also a big boss with a net worth of more than one billion, and he was willing to act as a free tour guide, it seemed that he really wanted to sell the tea factory as soon as possible.
Realizing that he seemed to be too eager, Wu Qingyuan smiled bitterly twice and said: "The two of you don't know my suffering, outsiders seem to be my boss is very beautiful, and I am in charge of thousands of employees underneath, but I don't know that I am in a hurry now, the tea produced before is piled up in the warehouse and cannot be sold, more than half of the tea factories can not create profits by suspending work, but they still have to pay employees as usual, if large-scale layoffs continue, the company will definitely fall into chaos." ”
Many of Qin Yuxue's courses are linked to corporate management, and he is very aware of the importance of people's stability, if there are large-scale layoffs, whether it is to the outside world or within the company, it is releasing a very unfavorable message, and the company's operation is not good.
As a result, employees are worried that the company will close down at any time, and it will be difficult to concentrate on work, and it will be difficult to attract foreign investors, and the vicious circle will continue, and the company will only go to the abyss of destruction step by step.
"If Mr. Wu has time, of course I am willing to visit the tea factory, I am now the shopkeeper, I have time, I can go at any time." Qin Yu said with a smile.
This was exactly what Wu Qingyuan wanted, and the two hit it off and immediately went to visit the nearest tea factory together.
Although it is said that it is the nearest tea factory, it is also in the suburbs, and it takes nearly half an hour to drive to reach it.
Wujia Tea Factory has a total of three tea factories in Funing, and the other four are in other cities, which is also due to the geographical relationship and proximity to the tea producing area, which can save a lot of expenses.
"This factory is the first factory I built in Funing, 20 years ago, and some of the flowers and trees in it were planted by my own hands."
Walking in the factory, Wu Qingyuan introduced Qin Yu while walking, and it could be seen that he had deep feelings for this tea factory.
Accompanied by Weng Weifeng, the director of the tea factory, who is also over fifty years old, he followed Wu Qingyuan to fight the world very early, and is one of the most senior ministers under him, witnessing the rise and fall of this tea factory.
Since last year, the site has been completely shut down, there are not many employees to be seen, and the factory is quite deserted.
Standing under a longan tree, Wu Qingyuan sighed again and again, a sign was hung on the tree, which was marked with the name of the planter and the planting time, Qin Yu took a look, it was Wu Qingyuan who planted it fifteen years ago.
"Alas! If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't support it, I was really reluctant to sell this factory, it was like my son, and it took me a lot of effort to put a lot of effort into it. Wu Qingyuan said with a long sigh.
Follow Weng Weifeng to visit the factory, although there is no work for a long time, but you can still smell the obvious fragrance of tea, Qin Yu suddenly felt that working in such an environment is actually not bad, it is much better than working in a workshop full of engine oil smell.
"There's the packing shop over there." Weng Weifeng pointed to another plant.
Walking into the packaging workshop, Qin Yu checked the machines, all of which looked relatively old and had been used for a long time.
"These machines are all imported from abroad, and although they have been used for seven or eight years, I can guarantee that they can be used normally." Weng Weifeng said.
"Have all the workers in this tea factory been dismissed?" Qin Yu suddenly asked.
Originally, he wanted to take over a tea factory that was still in operation, so that he could avoid the process of recruiting employees, and the factory could be put into operation as soon as he took over.
"Most of them have been laid off, and only a small number of workers are left who are responsible for maintaining the plant and machinery." Weng Weifeng replied.
At this time, Wu Qingyuan said: "If Mr. Qin wants to take over the factory that has not been suspended, it is okay, and the other two tea factories on the Funing side have not completely stopped working yet. ”
Pulling a chair and sitting down, Qin Yu hesitated for a while, and directly took over the factory that was being operated, which has advantages and disadvantages, although it can be quickly put into production, but it is difficult to manage.
He has decided to buy the tea factory, let Zeng Yanyan be in charge of management, if the tea factory is the original team, it is inevitable to form gangs in private, there is a small group phenomenon, which is not conducive to management, and there may even be a phenomenon of empty power, unless the management is all changed, but it is not realistic.
A factory manager is like the skeleton of a living person, if one or two bones are removed, he will survive, but if all the bones of his body are removed, he will definitely not survive.
"Mr. Wu, I don't know at what price you plan to sell this factory?"
After careful consideration, Qin Yu made the final decision, if the price was reasonable, he would buy this place, and as for employee recruitment, it should be regarded as giving Zeng Yanyan more experience.
"It can be seen that Mr. Qin is also a cheerful person, and I don't make temptations, a fixed price, forty-five million!" Wu Qingyuan said loudly.
This price was within Qin Yu's estimate, and he thought that as long as the price was below 50 million, he would buy it, so he didn't bargain anymore, got up and shook hands with Wu Qingyuan: "Deal!" ”
I didn't expect Qin Yu to really not bargain, Wu Qingyuan was still thinking about whether to reduce it by one million a little, but he couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, and then smiled: "Those who become big things are not informal, Mr. Qin really does big things, I admire this courage!" ”
"Mr. Wu laughed, I just think that this tea factory is worth this price, the environment is beautiful, and the transportation is also very convenient." Qin Yu walked to the gate of the factory, took a breath of fresh air, and continued: "I have an intuition that this place is very suitable for me, maybe through this tea factory, I can dig a pot of gold again." ”
Wu Qingyuan and Weng Weifeng just smiled, and didn't say anything else, every businessman is full of confidence and ambition at the beginning of investment, and if he is not confident at the beginning, he will not invest a lot of money and energy.
Of course, they also know that Qin Yu's previous investments were very successful, and his self-confidence comes from strength, and the tea factory has been losing money in Wu Qingyuan's hands, and if he changes his boss, he may not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Qin Yu's self-confidence is tea from the earth immortal realm, even if it is a hundred yuan a pound of tea, it is far better than the tea in the world, as long as the price is not too high, it is absolute to make money.
