Chapter 467: Internal Worries
The recent smooth sailing has made Li Han feel very good, with this money, he will be a little easier next, and making money still depends on the opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that the domestic rare earth company had not replied to him, Li Han took Wang Man to the Romantic Home Foundation to visit Li Jia and her boyfriend.
Li Jia came here to help her boyfriend because the cake shop had not yet opened and the romantic home was poor, and she was mainly responsible for personnel audit. Pick out the people who need the most money among the people who apply for donations, and verify the information of the other party.
For example, people who have a house and a car, are seriously ill and need money for treatment, but are reluctant to sell their cars and houses, may falsely report their own situation and say that their family is very poor and miserable, and there are really not a few such people.
"You're really a conscienceless, you don't want me if you have a boyfriend, don't you?" Wang Man poked Li Jia's waist angrily, "I didn't ignore you when I fell in love with Xiaohan!" ”
"Isn't that why we're going to work together?" Li Jia snorted, "But you must know that I will always have you in my heart." ”
"Bah." Wang Man spat viciously, "You don't even bother to reply to me on WeChat, what about me?" ”
"Oh, okay, okay, let me see the picture of my godson and daughter, right? You must have grown up a lot lately, right? Li Jia hurriedly changed the subject.
The two girls were talking over there, and Liang Haixin said hello to Li Han here: "Brother Han." ”
"Haven't you been busy lately?" Li Han joked, "I put an advertisement in the video and asked people in need to come and apply." So, I guess you're definitely a lot busier than you were before. ”
"Indeed......" Liang Haixin smiled bitterly, "but we are working hard to recruit people, and we should be able to alleviate the current situation soon." My plan is to get it done by October this year, and then I will have a wedding with Jiajia. ”
"Congratulations." Li Han smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will give you a wedding gift." ”
"You're polite, Jia Jianeng and I are all up to you." Liang Hixin was polite here, "We are satisfied if you can be there." ”
The two groups of people were chatting happily, but Li Han received a call from Jiang Tao. The other party's tone was very guilty, saying that the vegetable market had encountered a little difficulty recently, and he wanted to borrow some money from him to turn around.
To be honest, this news still surprised Li Han a little, you must know that since the model of the vegetable market has stabilized, business has always been so good that it is hot. Although the money earned is not a lot in Li Han's company, it is better to be stable.
After all, the vegetable market is the basic of people's livelihood, and the vegetables in the vegetable market are of good quality and low price.
"Okay, don't worry. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I will meet you at the company. Li Han replied.
Jiang Tao this young man is still deeply loved by him, hard-working, sensible and filial piety and knows gratitude, before Wang Man was pregnant also sent a lot of fresh and imported expensive ingredients to their family, relying on the fruits and vegetables sent by this young man, Wang Man can eat so well during pregnancy, almost did not gain much weight, but the baby is very healthy.
Therefore, Li Han will definitely help with this favor, but he still wants to figure out what is going on. It stands to reason that the reputation and business of the vegetable market in Beichang City are first-class among its peers, how can there be a break in the capital chain?
At noon, Li Han took Wang Man to have a light meal with Li Jia and Liang Haixin, and threw Wang Man to Li Jia in the afternoon.
"Okay, I'll go to the company first, you and Jiajia can reminisce about your two-person world." Li Han touched Wang Man's braid and smiled, "I'll come to pick you up at four o'clock in the afternoon, no problem, right?" ”
"No problem." Wang Man nodded happily, while Li Jia waved his hand to drive away: "Hurry up, don't disturb me and Xiaoman." ”
Li Han sneered and glared at the two of them, then turned around and drove to the company's side.
At this time, Jiang Tao was already waiting in the office, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Brother Han......" Seeing him come in, Jiang Tao hurriedly stood up and said hello to him.
"It's okay, sit down, sit down." Li Han smiled and waved, and then sat down opposite Jiang Tao, "You and I have been so long, don't be so nervous." How much money do you need, just say. ”
"Probably ......," Jiang Tao hesitated, "The company's finance said that it may take 40 million to turn around." ”
"No problem." Li Han turned to Liu Jiana, "Nana, you go and talk to the finance and ask them to transfer the money." The interest is calculated according to the lowest, after all, it is our own brand. ”
"Okay, Brother Han." Liu Jiana nodded and went down to order.
And Li Han turned to Jiang Tao: "What's going on on your side?" Hasn't business been good at the vegetable market? Why is there a problem with the capital chain? Isn't there some kind of trouble? Just tell me straight. ”
"Yes......" Jiang Tao folded his hands and replied: "That's the case, the farmers we cooperate with suddenly asked for a 20% price increase, saying that if they don't increase the price, they will cooperate with other agricultural cooperatives." ”
"Agricultural Society?" Li Han frowned, "What's going on with this agricultural society?" ”
"It's just a wholesaler, but in another way, it's a company called Xinnong Group." Jiang Tao replied, "They said that the price offered to them by Xinnong Group was 20% higher than the market price, so they asked us to raise the price." I'm thinking about going up 20%, it's a big deal, let's make less money. It's just that the price of vegetables may rise a little, I don't know if everyone will complain......"
As soon as Jiang Tao said this, Li Han actually roughly knew what was going on. In fact, the reason why the price of vegetables in the vegetable market is cheap is because they skip the wholesalers in the middle and buy them directly from the farmers and sell them.
With fewer middlemen making the difference, farmers and vegetable markets can make a little more.
However, it is strange that this middleman is willing to pay such a high price to collect vegetables from farmers.
Because the wholesaler of vegetables is often the most redundant in the whole sales chain, but on the contrary, it is the one who makes the most money, and eats both farmers and consumers.
For example, the outbreak of avian flu or hail has led to the increase in the price of chicken, eggs, vegetables and fruits, but this increase does not go to farmers, but to middlemen, and the increase is borne by consumers.
Therefore, it is absolutely strange that middlemen are completely profiteering industries that eat at both ends, and they are willing to buy the vegetables in the hands of these farmers at such a high price. Moreover, the funding gap is so large, which shows that most of the farmers who supply the goods have proposed to increase the price.
"There's something strange......" Li Han shook his head, "Don't worry, I'll transfer the money to you first, but don't be in a hurry to compromise with the farmers, give me a few days to check this new agricultural group." ”
"Huh? Good, okay. Jiang Tao became nervous for a moment, "Our current funds can still support it for a while." ”
"It's not as simple as you think." Li Han replied, "We can spend this money, but we have to spend it clearly." The extra money will go to these farmers, not to anyone else. ”
"Someone else?" Jiang Tao was a little puzzled, "But, who could it be?" ”
"Things in the business field are very complicated, just work hard, but they will be calculated." Li Han frowned and reminded, "Okay, you go back first, I will give you a result as soon as possible." ”
After returning home that day, Li Han began to investigate the new agricultural group, and then found the clues.
This company was established a year ago, and judging from their personnel and capital flows, they are targeting Li Han's vegetable market. The reason for this is that the farmers contacted by the other party are basically suppliers of vegetables and beauty.
It is not difficult to do this, after all, other vegetable markets buy from wholesalers, only Vegetable Beauty has its own logistics, which is directly purchased from farmers. This makes the middleman have no way to make money.
"Why is this company willing to spend so much money on goods?" In the evening, Wang Man asked puzzled while combing his hair, "Everyone must want to buy cheap food." If you sell it expensive, then I just go somewhere else to buy it, right? ”
"It's not that simple." Li Han shook his head, "The business of this company ...... Unlike the general vegetable market, their purchases are somewhat opportunistic. I looked at their sales business, and they actually shipped local fruits and vegetables all the way to other provinces and sold them at a high price. ”
"Isn't that redundant?" Wang Man frowned.
"Of course not." Li Han replied, "It's very simple, why is seafood cheap in coastal areas? Because it's all over the streets. That's why we have to ship seafood to the mainland, so that we can sell it at a high price. The same goes for these dishes. ”
The main profit of Xinnong Group is to transport local vegetables to other places. For example, lotus roots are abundant in Beichang City, and the lotus roots here are cheap and delicious, so they transport the lotus roots here to a far away place and sell them at a high price.
However, it is not easy to do this, and Xinnong Group must control the cultivation of domestic farmers......
"Is that so!?" Li Han slapped his face and understood, "No wonder we want to buy it at a price 20% higher than the market, the purpose turned out to be this!" These guys...... It's really a lot of ambition. ”
"Tsk, be clear, don't be a riddler." Wang Man glared at him from the side.
"Their goal is not to raise the price of vegetables, but to control the types of crops that farmers grow." Li Han frowned and said, "What kind of crops make money, farmers will plant them." ”
"What's the point of that?" Wang Man crooked his little brain.
"The ultimate goal is to hold the peasants of the whole country hostage." Li Han said with a sneer.
Li Han never expected that when he was actively preparing to deal with the "external trouble", he actually jumped out of an "internal worry" first.
However, it is not difficult to solve the problem of this new agricultural group, since you know the other party's routine, the response plan is very simple.
After all, in front of the current Qiaokou Company, this Xinnong Group is just a "little friend".
