Chapter 5 Careful Layout
The night is still so beautiful, still so quiet, the usual Lin family has long been out of the lights, and today is the opposite of usual, the Lin family at this time is brightly lit, especially the family meeting hall, the head of the family Lin Zun, the three elders, and the backbone of the family, are all gathered here, Lin Tao, Lin Chao is also among them, but they are sitting at the last seat, this kind of specification of the meeting, it may not be held once a year, look at this posture is clearly for the daytime "two-year covenant" strategic deployment.
"I think everyone now knows what happened at Qiao's house during the day, and we made a two-year appointment. Lin Zun sat on the seat of the head of the family as usual, his eyes looked around as he spoke, and only after everyone nodded one after another did he continue, "Today's incident is the most shameful thing in the history of our Lin family, a second-rate family dares to bargain with our Lin family like this, it is really a shame to go home, is it true that our Lin family has really fallen to this point, and there will be no return? This matter is worth pondering for each of us." At the same time, I deeply feel that if we are indifferent to the status quo and can't find a good way out, maybe our Lin family's 10,000-year-old foundation will really be lost in the hands of those of us here. β
The entire Lin family's meeting hall was extremely quiet at this time, although Lin Zun's words were unpleasant, but they were all the truth, for the backbone of the family here, it hurt in the ears and in the heart.
Lin Zun just paused, seeing that everyone present was thoughtful, and secretly rejoiced, he found that no one was indifferent, which showed that these people really cared about the family and regarded the interests of the family above all else, "During the day, it was Lin Chao's analysis that gave me a great inspiration, Old Seven, you now tell everyone about the analysis during the day." β
Lin Chao at the end of the seat stood up, smiled, and said the analysis he had told Lin Zun in the morning as it was:
"The Lin family has now gradually declined, no matter how much we don't like to listen, how much we don't want to accept, but it is an indisputable fact, if we repeatedly rest on our laurels, follow the old ideas, old routines, do not keep pace with the times, do not reform and innovate, will only be eliminated by this era, our Lin family is imperative is to change the business principles, policies, vowing to make great efforts to carry out the reform, then the question is, what is our policy policy?"
"Our Lin family is one of the four major families in Linbin City, the Lin family, the You family, the Situ family and the Meng family have monopolized more than eighty percent of the industrial chain in the entire Linbin City, our family is mainly planting medicinal herbs, mining minerals, manufacturing weapons and raising war horses; the You family is mainly engaged in the industry of daily necessities and clothing, food, housing and transportation; the Situ family is mainly engaged in the business of pawnbroking, green houses and casinos; as for the industries operated by the Meng family are inns and darts. The businesses of the four major families are different and rarely intersect, but with our decline, especially the You family, which has gradually infiltrated into the cultivation of medicinal materials and the breeding of war horses, the income of our Lin family's two industries has plummeted year by year, and the profits have suffered heavy losses. β
Lin Chao paused from time to time, as if he was waiting for the big guy to digest his analysis, he had a specialization in the art industry, although it was impossible for the people here to be fully proficient, so he didn't expect them to understand all the content, but in his professional field, he still recognized the content analyzed by Lin Chao very much, and some people couldn't help but give Lin Chao a thumbs up in private. Seeing this scene, Lin Chao couldn't help but recall that he stood in the 20-story conference room in his "previous life", with his back to the floor-to-ceiling glass and a page-turner in his hand, passionately explaining and analyzing the various data indicators in the PPT table on the projector.
"I hear a lot of agricultural workers complaining that the planting industry depends on the weather for food, and the vegetation is very demanding on the amount of rainfall, to put it bluntly, it is too much, and more or less will affect the harvest, but why can't we make some articles on this?" Lin Chao really has a certain ability to mobilize the atmosphere, not blindly making monotonous statements, he is good at using interrogative sentences to mobilize big guys to think, Giving full play to the power of the collective, as the so-called high flame of everyone collecting firewood, is nothing more than this reason, only from this point of view, Lin Chao has a certain organizational ability.
"So what are we going to do? Are we going to give up these unstable industries?" I don't know who it was, but after Lin Chao finished asking, he immediately blurted out.
"The rice bowl that our ancestors left us behind, we can't just throw it away!" another person responded.
For a full five minutes, one voice after another sounded in the conference hall, but it was not noisy at all, and there was a fierce debate around Lin Chao's question.
Lin Chao grasped the heat of time, and at the moment when the discussion was reduced, he stretched his hands forward and motioned for everyone to stop, he deliberately paused, and only after the hall was completely quiet did he speak: "Don't worry, the method I use is some strange tricks, and I will not give up the inheritance left by my ancestors, and I will not give up any of them, please believe me." β
"We have been in good weather this year, and we expect this year to be a bumper year, so in the future, in herbal medicine, The grain will be harvested, all harvested, will lead to a drop in price, in other words, these crops will be worthless, for us to raise war horses in this area the cost will be reduced compared with the past, if we now increase the investment in the breeding of war horses, then the cost of input is carried out at a relatively low level, but our Lin family's war horses are large orders from the royal family, which belong to the imperial strategic reserve materials, and the price of the agreement we signed is unchanged, so we can make a difference from this alone, I calculated that we only need to expand the scale of raising war horses by three percent, and this year's profit can be doubledγ β
"At the same time, we must increase the research and development of manufacturing weapons, after all, the level of our weapons division is far lower than the level of the weapon workshop in Iwacheng, we might as well hire ten weapons masters from Iwacheng with a high salary, and our own weapons masters will pay more attention to study on weekdays, and my budget expenditure is 10% of the profit from raising horses." When the level of weapon manufacturing increases, prices will also rise, and we can conduct high-level auctions through auction houses, and we may even be able to win orders from the royal family. So the profit will also be a lot of money. β
"For the ore industry, improving efficiency is a top priority, and I don't know much about it, so I need to go and see it on site. β
"As for planting medicinal herbs, this is what I want to lease to Qiao's family, because this year will be a bumper year, so the profit growth point will definitely not appear here. So the thankless work, let's leave it to others. There is also this piece completely dependent on the sky to eat, I don't want our Lin family to spend too much effort on this, rather than being uncomfortable themselves, it is better to outsource to others, isn't it? Of course, we can't be idle, we want to make a market, the so-called market is to create a market, what does it mean, since everyone knows that this year will definitely be a bumper harvest, then we should fan the flames, ** there will be no business opportunities. β
Lin Chao said a lot in one breath, the backbone of the Lin family here was speechless, many new words were never heard of in their lives, after listening to Lin Chao's explanation for half a day, there was only one common question in their minds, thoughtful, bold and careful, intrigue and conspiracy are endless, this will be a ten-year-old child come up with it?
"Xiao Chao," it turned out to be the third elder who spoke.
"Hmm. Lin Chao immediately responded.
"How are we supposed to make a market?"
"Buy low and sell high. Lin Chao blurted out without thinking. "Let's find people to stock up on goods everywhere, of course, the price should be slightly higher, to create a phenomenon of crazy grabbing herbs in the market, there is no impermeable wall, there will soon be people in the market who follow the trend, we must be scattered, we can't let others find out that it is a purchase, let alone find out that it is our Lin family hoarding." When others began to rob a large number of people, we took the opportunity to sell at a high price, although this wealth is not very authentic, but it is indeed the most critical profit growth point for our Lin family to complete the two-year contract. β
Lin Chao took a sip of water and continued to say categorically, "This is just the beginning, it is the first step in the recovery of our Lin family, don't say that after two years, buy 20 first-class spirit stones, in my abacus, our initial goal is 50, I hope it can be unanimously recognized by everyone here, I will go down to various industries to learn, I hope everyone will work hard for the rise of our Lin family." β
After Lin Chao finished saying this last sentence, the applause was thunderous, and the eyes of the people present were full of fighting spirit and excitement, two years later, what would be the concept of buying 50 first-class spirit stones, if you heard Lin Chao say this before, everyone would really think that Lin Chao was unscrupulous, but after listening to Lin Chao's full analysis, I found that this is really not a difficult task, sometimes it is like this, confidence is what needs to be cheered, with firm belief and precise direction, the iron pestle into a needle will come naturally.
Lin Zun sat in the position of the head of the family, full of joy, and found that the seventh son Lin Chao had such an amazing performance, that is, business acumen, leadership ability and eloquence. He secretly made a promise to immediately give Lin Chao a first-grade spirit stone that the family had in reserve, and if he really earned 50 first-grade spirit stones in two years, he would give him 10 of them as a reward. Lin Zun couldn't help but be complacent, I am lucky to have this son, and the Lin family is also lucky.
Late at night, still on the roof, Lin Chao and Lin Tao lay side by side, the two of them were intoxicated by the starry sky, "Brother, thank you, for me, you are alone as a hostage, and you will work hard for the next two years." It was Lin Chao who spoke, he felt ashamed, the fifth brother was righteous and awe-inspiring, and volunteered to go to Qiao's house as a hostage, and this time it was two years. 20 first-class spirit stones in two years, how difficult it is to accomplish, Lin Tao knows better than anyone else, but he still trusts Lin Chao without hesitation.
"Seventh brother, you just have too much to think about, even if you can't fulfill your promise, as the fifth young master of our Lin family, what can their little Qiao family do to me? Besides, I am full of confidence in you, where is your confidence?" Lin Tao held Lin Chao's hand with his own hand, "Your talent is seen by everyone, this is a good thing, but also a bad thing, the sky is jealous of talents, not to mention people? No one can help you on the path of cultivation, you have to work your own, only when you are strong, can you best protect yourself." β
"Well, I'll work hard to cultivate. Brother, don't worry. β
"Of the seven brothers, I am most optimistic about you, so don't disappoint me. By the way, Joey, that girl is indeed beautiful, but she has a feeling that she can't put it into words, I don't know if you have noticed it. Seeing Lin Chao nodding, Lin Tao continued, "You can't have the heart to harm people, but you can't have the heart to prevent people." If she is sincere to you and you like it, give yourself a chance, or if not, find a chance to leave her. β
"Brother, she should be your woman, but now, don't you hate me?" Lin Chao asked cautiously.
"Silly boy, for me a woman is something outside the body, dispensable, when you are strong, which woman does not want to follow you. And on the surface, she likes you, and I can stick a knife in both sides for you, not to mention just a woman. β
"Brother, you're too machismo. But I'm really touched by what you've done for me. β
After that, the two brothers laughed a few times and laughed.
