Chapter 547: Railway
The company is the first joint venture company in Jinling, and it is also a major event that Lin Daoyuan has done since taking office.
Lin Daoyuan was very concerned about the current situation and follow-up development of the company, and after a brief chat about Xiao Shao's work arrangement, Lin Daoyuan asked Song Yuanchao about the situation of the company.
Song Yuanchaozai carefully reported the current progress of the company to Lin Daoyuan, and told the next key points.
Lin Daoyuan listened very carefully, and asked a few key questions, and Song Yuanchao answered them one by one confidently.
After listening to Song Yuanchao's story, Lin Daoyuan thought for a while and asked: "Yuanchao, how much do you estimate that the turnover and profits and taxes of the company will reach by this time next year?" ”
Regarding this problem, Song Yuanchao thought about it a little and said a number.
Lin Daoyuan was a little surprised, and asked Song Yuanchao if he was wrong, right? Song Yuanchao told Lin Daoyuan that although this figure is only an estimate, there will not be much difference, and if the market is better, this figure may be higher.
After receiving Song Yuanchao's affirmation, Lin Daoyuan nodded with great satisfaction: "It seems that this move is the right move, let alone reaching this level, as long as it can reach more than 80% of your estimate, the scale of the company will far exceed the previous Nandu Food." It's only been a year, and this answer sheet can be said to be qualified! ”
"Of course, otherwise there would have been no need for a joint venture." Song Yuanchao said proudly: "Nandu is our goal, our goal is a larger enterprise and market, including not only some large domestic food factories, but also foreign counterparts who are about to enter the country." ”
"According to the current situation of the company, we have formulated a three-year preliminary plan, in addition to the Yanjing, Huhai and Shancheng that are about to be officially put into production, in addition to the three places that will be officially put into operation, we will build branches in the future. My idea is to build at least seven to eight branches in three years, in addition to setting up provincial companies in all provinces of the country. ”
"It's not easy to do." Lin Daoyuan seemed very happy, and at the same time expressed concern.
"It's not easy, but it can still be done, and the key depends on the sales of the new plant after it is put into operation this year. In addition to traditional drinks and new beverages, the sales of instant noodles are also the top priority, and we attach great importance to the market of this product, and I believe that the market can give us generous returns. ”
Lin Daoyuan thought for a while and said, "I don't know about the instant noodle market, but I know this thing, do you really have confidence in this product?" ”
"Of course!" Song Yuanchao said with a smile: "This is actually a big market, although instant noodles are not new in our country, but they are a new thing for the common people." But in foreign countries, especially in Dongying, the market for instant noodles is very mature, and even instant noodles in the Taiwan Strait and other areas with Chinese are also very popular. ”
"This quick food product has the advantage of being quick and convenient, plus it tastes great, and it is perfect for consumption in many situations. Not to mention the rest, for example, the most troublesome thing for people who often travel is accommodation and eating, we will not talk about the former for the time being, let's talk about the latter, finding a place to eat is a big trouble, especially when traveling in the field, the national food stamp is also needed, but the national food stamp is not available to everyone, even if it is limited. ”
"In this case, wouldn't it be more appropriate to soak in boiling water and eat a bowl of steaming instant noodles at any time than to carry a few dry, hard and cold steamed buns? In addition to these groups, there are comrades who often work in the field and comrades in some special occupations, they often encounter similar problems, and the emergence of instant noodles can solve these problems very well, do you think? ”
Lin Daoyuan pondered for a moment and felt that what Song Yuanchao said was not unreasonable, and at the same time he had a strong interest in the instant noodles mentioned by Song Yuanchao, and joked that he hadn't eaten their instant noodles yet, and he didn't know what the taste was.
Song Yuanchao immediately smiled and said This is a trivial matter, tomorrow he will ask someone to send two boxes of instant noodles to Lin Daoyuan to taste, but this thing is rare to eat once or twice, it is okay to eat it often, after all, there is no nutrition, just to fill the stomach.
Lin Daoyuan is old and has a bad stomach, this kind of food is no problem to taste, but it must not be eaten as a meal. If Lin Daoyuan is hungry for pasta, just tell him that it is no problem to let Sister Zhang make it or come over to get it for him herself, and if it is not good to prepare some snacks or something in his office, it is better than eating instant noodles.
Lin Daoyuan laughed, pointed at Song Yuanchao and scolded a few words, saying that his kid's sycophant was too blunt.
"By the way, Dad, how about I ask you something?" Suddenly, Song Yuanchao rolled his eyes and asked.
Lin Daoyuan's expression was a little serious, although he was very satisfied with Song Yuanchao's son-in-law, but Lin Daoyuan's temperament was very disgusted with situations such as going through the back door, especially when his children begged him to do things, Lin Daoyuan had always been opposed.
"Rest assured, it's definitely not a violation of principles." Of course, Song Yuanchao knew Lin Daoyuan's temper, and when he saw that his face was not good-looking, he hurriedly explained.
Taking a puff of cigarette, Lin Daoyuan glanced at Song Yuanchao: "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”
"Dad, isn't the instant noodles of our company about to be officially put into production? For market sales, the sales company has already made a plan, and the next step will be to use advertising and media publicity to promote through traditional sales channels. However, I think this model still has limitations, especially for instant food products such as instant noodles, which will not be effective in the short term if they are promoted and sold in this way. ”
Hearing Song Yuanchao say this, Lin Daoyuan's expression softened, it turned out that Song Yuanchao begged him not for private matters, but for public affairs.
Song Yuanchao continued: "You have worked in the Planning Commission for many years, and you know a lot of people in various parts and have many relationships, I think you can say hello to the railway?" Let our products go directly to the railway? ”
Lin Daoyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted that Song Yuanchao was playing the idea of the railway channel, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that Song Yuanchao's idea was good.
The railroad is a special sector with many units of its own, and like most large state-owned enterprises, it is an independent kingdom behind closed doors.
And the particularity of the railway is not comparable to those state-owned enterprises, the railway is the main artery of the national transportation, especially in the case of the current expressway (the first expressway is the Hujia Expressway, built in 1988), the railway network connecting all parts of the country is the most convenient and fastest way for ordinary people to travel.
Today's railways are not the high-speed rail network of later generations, and it is still very early for the speed of railways to increase.
Usually long-distance travel, it is very common to stay on the train for two or three days by train, not to mention the long distance, if you happen to take a slow train, from Shanghai to Hangzhou is only less than 170 kilometers away, slow train driving for seven or eight hours is also a common thing.
Therefore, there are usually special sales stalls everywhere in stations, platforms and trains, and the most common thing is that the conductor on the train pushes a special iron retail trolley to and from each carriage to sell goods to passengers.
The instant noodles they produced were a kind of instant food, and in terms of nutrition and taste, they were certainly inferior to the roast chicken, red sausages and other things sold on the train or platform. But the price of the latter is high, it is not affordable for ordinary people at all, and the storage of these meat products is also a big problem, you have to eat it as soon as possible after buying, or put it overnight when the weather is hot, and everything will be completely broken.
Song Yuanchao's idea was very simple, that is, he wanted to use Lin Daoyuan's relationship to put their products directly on the railway channel and sell them on the railway platform, including in the carriages.
Compared with the current goods sold by the railway, instant noodles have great advantages, one is that they are cheaper, and the other is that they can eat a bowl of steaming noodles at any time when they go out, which is very tempting for many people.
In addition, the aroma of instant noodles is well known, and once a person in a car makes a bowl of instant noodles, the smell can be smelled not only by everyone in the car, but also by the adjacent car.
Watching people eat hot noodles with relish, and they can only gnaw hard dry food and boiled water, that person won't be moved? In addition, buying instant noodles without the need for food stamps is even more advantageous, so selling such products through the rail network is the best way to do this.
This kind of sales method also has a great advertising effect, the domestic railway network extends in all directions, laying all parts of the country, and the instant noodles are promoted through the railway, and the effect is far stronger than ordinary advertising.
In fact, as early as more than a week ago, Song Yuanchao had already begun to ponder this matter, but it was impossible for Song Yuanchao and Site to put the product into the railway system by themselves, and the only way to do this was to turn to Lin Daoyuan.
After listening to Song Yuanchao's explanation, Lin Daoyuan thought about it carefully, and didn't say yes or no, just nodded slightly.
Seeing Lin Daoyuan like this, Song Yuanchao did not urge, he knew Lin Daoyuan's temper and character, since this matter was not opposed on the spot, then Lin Daoyuan had already taken it to heart.
Weng and his son-in-law forgot the time as soon as they chatted, and when Chen Yuqin knocked on the door to remind them that it was very late, Song Yuanchao must be tired from driving from Huhai, and it would be the same if there was anything to talk about tomorrow.
At this time, Song Yuanchao found that the time had actually passed ten o'clock in the evening, and it was already time for Lin Daoyuan to rest. The two ended the conversation, Song Yuanchao stayed here that night and did not go back, and went directly to the company from here after getting up the next day.
Back to the company, Song Yuanchao convened a middle-level meeting, the content of the meeting was mainly about the three branches to be put into operation and the follow-up market sales, including the preparation of warehousing and logistics.
After the meeting, Song Yuanchao returned to the office tiredly, made himself a cup of strong tea, and continued to devote himself to the intense work.
