Chapter 187: Provincial City
Yangcheng Railway Station, standing here in the square in front of the station, the most obvious sign you see is the 24-character slogan on the waiting building.
"Long live the invincible XXX thought, long live the great China XXX."
This railway station was completed and put into operation seven years ago, and the special slogans on both sides of the waiting building "Yangcheng Station" are very eye-catching.
It was changed to "reunify the motherland and rejuvenate China" in 1986.
At the forefront of reform and opening up, a major military, economic, and political town, the southern gate of the motherland, and the only provincial capital city where a second language is universally spoken, this city has never been an important place to be despised underestimated. A certain marshal, known as the "traverser", showed superb tactics, one of which was to use the city as a basic base - to preserve the wealth and glory of generations, the only one.
The famous sheep fair, known as the "push open the door" action, is named after the city, and its influence continued until the early 21st century.
The square in front of the station is a place of chaos in the country. In the southeast, northwest, and northwest, he made a fortune in Guangdong. After this sentence spread throughout the country, people all over the country went south, and Yangcheng Railway Station was the first stop that most people arrived. The congestion and chaos at Yangcheng Railway Station have obviously been around for a long time, especially after entering the 90s, the law and order was called a chaos, so that it attracted the attention of national leaders.
At this time, the square in front of the station is okay, the opening boom has just risen, and many people's desire for material things has not been fully stimulated, compared with the nineties, there are few people who break the law and discipline at this time. But in the square in front of the station, black hotels, hacker cars, and black intermediaries have begun to appear one after another. There are a lot of such people guarding the exit of the station, and they go up directly and drag you too much. If you can't drag it, you will drag your luggage, and you will have to follow him. The crowd is full of voices, and the scene is chaotic, which is when petty theft starts.
When he walked out, Zhang Weiwei grabbed a half-grown child who stumbled over, glared at him, and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Get out of the way!" ”
The half-grown child's fart and urine suddenly became flexible, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared. The two adult men who were quietly preparing to cover looked at Li Lu and the three of them for a while, and knew that they were not good at stubble, so they quietly withdrew with a look at their companions, looking for a new target.
Such theft gangs can be found almost everywhere.
There were small signs with the words "hotel" and "TV" on them, and several people crowded towards Li Lu. In order not to attract attention, Li Lu deliberately dressed like ordinary workers, not young cadres. Therefore, it was targeted by these solicitors. They are very colorful, and people dressed as cadres generally have letters of introduction, and they will stay in state-run hotels and guest houses at will, and they will never stay in their illegal hotels.
Zhang Weiwei walked in front, pointed at them with his hand, and said loudly, "Don't come here!" Get out of the way! ”
His sudden burst of momentum made the bold new era "customer grabbing salesman" stagnate, and he really didn't dare to arch forward.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Lu and the others quickened their pace to squeeze out of the crowd, and walked into the Red Star Sea Lion van waiting outside in three steps and two steps.
Li Lu couldn't have imagined that he would come to the familiar Yangcheng in this era because he was following He Zhenjun. The van with the four big characters "Hongchen Fruits and Vegetables" on the body picked up Li Lu at the exit of the station. Along with them were Zhang Weiwei and Liang Guangbo, who took the same train as He Zhenjun.
For fear of arousing suspicion, Li Lu and Zhang Weiwei did not show up, but asked Liang Guangbo to follow He Zhenjun closely, so as not to get out of the car halfway and remain in the dark.
In order to ensure the smooth tracking, Li Lu wanted to find a few unfamiliar faces to do this, and it happened that Liang Guangbo was at home, so he called him over, trained urgently for a while, and made a cameo as an agent.
Hongchen Fruit and Vegetable Trading Company can be said to shine in the Yangcheng Railway Station area. After Li Lu solved these two major problems, and had strong financial support, Liang Guangbo was even more comfortable with it. In half a year, it has become a well-known fruit and vegetable wholesale company in the fruit and vegetable market of Yangcheng Railway Station.
Moreover, Hongchen fruits and vegetables are not only wholesaled, but also the first to enter the high-end market. Li Lu put forward the concept of high-end suppliers, and through the relationship between the provincial offices of Guangming Factory, it provides fruit and vegetable supply services for foreign consular agencies, foreign institutions in Yangcheng, research institutions, colleges and universities, foreign-related hotels and other institutions.
The Toyota Hiace painted in regular script with the words "Red Morning Fruits and Vegetables" is painted red, and the right-hand drive style is another major feature. These red vans are produced by the Red Star Tractor Factory and are delivered to high-end customers by Hongchen Fruit and Vegetable Trading Company.
Naturally, these Toyota Hiaces are also cooperative trade products of Red Star Import and Export Company and Mitsui Company, and Red Star Import and Export Company sold them to Red Star Tractor Factory, and then came out of Red Star Factory, and they have already changed into their own identification suits. It's no different from any other car.
The technical department led by Ma Jintao is studying the change of right rudder to left rudder, and making some adaptation improvements.
The use of a car delivery is a very eye-catching and very tall service, and the car used is still an imported van with a price of more than 300,000 yuan, which instantly attracts a large number of high-quality customers. The people of Yangcheng, who are at the forefront of reform and opening up, are undoubtedly the people who have the most contact with the outside world and know the deepest, of course they know that Hongchen Fruit and Vegetable Trading Company uses Toyota's vans, even if those logos are completely different, but the five-star standard seems to be more domineering and imposing......
Li Lu is not distressed, he bought a brand new sea lion from Mitsui Company is only more than 80,000 yuan, plus other costs, the average cost of each car will not exceed 100,000 yuan. The average price of the Red Star Sea Lion van sold in the past few months is about 260,000, that is, his profit from one car is as high as 160,000.
Others use the Red Star Sea Lion to receive VIPs because this car is expensive, and he uses this car to deliver vegetables and fruits because in his place, the Red Star Sea Lion is only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan more expensive than the CA10 truck, but the force suddenly soared to an incomparable level.
"The vegetables and fruits delivered by more than 300,000 yuan luxury van taste particularly good!"
The store ships in large quantities about quality and price, and the exclusive high-end door-to-door delivery sells service, the same product, and different service methods.
Originally, he was reluctant to use the Red Star Sea Lion to deliver goods, such an expensive car, how could it be at the level of a national leader to afford it, how could it be used to deliver vegetables and fruits, and get a few liberation trucks.
But Li Lu insisted on doing so.
So, what made Liang Guangbo cry and laugh was that after two or three months of service, some enterprises and institutions, universities, consular offices, offices in Yangcheng, and foreign-related hotels began to ask him about the same thing - your car looks very much like an imported van, which sells for more than 300,000 yuan and has to wait for a year and a half to pick up the car, can you sell the car to me for a truck?
Unexpectedly, the high-end fruit and vegetable door-to-door delivery service has not yet entered the profitable stage, but first helped the Red Star Tractor Factory to advertise and pull orders......
In the van, Zhang Weiwei was driving, and the driver of Hongchen Fruit and Vegetable Trading Company was driven back by Liang Guangbo, and he and Li Lu were sitting in the car at this time. Because it was necessary to receive Li Lu, the second row of seats that had been removed was reinstalled. In Li Lu's feelings, the seat cushion is not comfortable, but in this era when Tianjin Dafa bread is in short supply, Red Star Sea Lion is a luxury VIP-level van.
"Red Star Mercedes", "Red Star BMW", "Red Star Pajero", "Red Star Land Cruiser", "Red Star Overlord", "Red Star Land Rover", "Red Star Warrior" ......
All the conceivable Li Lu was registered, and he changed all the Chinese trademark names that could become foreign brands in the future into the names of the models under Red Star - the same meaning as Red Star Sea Lion.
He Zhenjun got on the bus, which was the tram, and followed the wires laid overhead along the road. The Red Star Sea Lion followed far behind, not fast or slow to keep driving normally.
Liang Guangbo took out a few documents from his briefcase and said to Li Lu, "Third brother, this is the model information and quotation given to me by the Red Star Factory. In the next few days, it will be sent to interested customers. By the way, the Southern Swan Hotel wants the most, they want six sea lions as a VIP reception car, and I plan to recommend a personalized service to them......"
Li Lu suddenly smiled and said, "Guangbo, you were born to be a businessman. This is good, and the most suitable recommendation is given for different customers. This is good. ”
Liang Guangbo said ashamedly, "Third brother, you are exalting me too much. At the time, I was against using sea lions as delivery vans. Prove that I have no vision. Moreover, the people from the Red Star Factory told me that these personalized customized modification services were proposed by you. Third brother, how did you come up with these ideas, it's so interesting! ”
"There are many things to learn from foreign companies, you have been stationed in Yangcheng for a long time, and it is the region with the closest connection with Hong Kong and Macao, and the forefront of reform and opening up. Learn more, learn from each other's strengths, but also get rid of the dross. I heard that you have implemented the management system of the Hong Kong factory in Hongchen Company? Li Ludao.
Liang Guangbo thought that Li Lu was praising him, so he sat up straight and said, "Yes, Boss Yu helped contact several Hong Kong-funded factories, which are one of our big customers, and they can consume a wagon of fruits and vegetables every three days." When I have time, I go to them to visit and study. ”
Zhang Weiwei, who was driving, said secretly in his heart, it's over, this kid hasn't heard whether it's a depreciation or a compliment.
Li Lu asked Liang Guangbo, "How is the profitability of Hongchen Company?" ”
I have long wanted to find an opportunity to report on the work situation, but I have not been able to see Li Lu, at this time Li Lu took the initiative to ask, Liang Guangbo immediately reported in detail, he said, "Third brother, we maintain more than 30 buyers and farmers to carry out docking purchases, and can purchase about 200 tons of vegetables and fruits every day, and there are more than 1,700 tons a day. Here at Yangcheng Railway Station, we have expanded our stores, and the sales situation is still in short supply......"
Zhang Weiwei interrupted him, "Guangbo, you directly give the third brother a data, and you form a written report to submit the details once a month, how long has it been, and you haven't entered the state yet." ”
Scratching his head in embarrassment, Liang Guangbo said, "I've been studying lately, I know." Third brother, we earned more than 150,000 yuan in the first three months. The profitability is still good, mainly because the current high-end customers have not yet entered the profit stage. ”
Li Lu nodded slightly, and said, "Hongchen Company learns the salary system of Fenyuan Company, the factory of capitalist society, which is not suitable now." ”
After all, he is worried about being labeled as exploiting workers, and the salary system of Fenyuan Company is optimized with reference to the system of Guangming Factory, otherwise where can it attract talents in a short time. Although the labor cost is much higher, it is the most suitable system in the current environment.
Therefore, he will also ask Hongchen Fruit and Vegetable Trading Company to adopt such a salary system.
"Okay, let's talk about the list of Red Star Factory, and I'll go to Boss Yu for advice as soon as I go back."
Suddenly, Zhang Weiwei whispered, "Boss, he got out of the car." ”
Li Lu also saw it, and immediately ordered Liang Guangbo, saying, "Xiao Liang, follow him, be careful not to be exposed, we have to keep a distance." ”
Zhang Weiwei had already pulled over, and Liang Guangbo immediately got out of the car, shuttled through the crowd along the sidewalk to He Zhenjun's side, and walked behind him.
He Zhenjun carried a small travel bag and carried a briefcase into a street corner, apparently not realizing that he had been followed......
