Chapter 320: Wang Fulong is not worth the big use
After taking a sip of lemon tea, what came to Xu An's mind was what Liang Dani said just now, the lemon and tea leaves in Hezibao are sour and astringent when eaten separately, and Xu Heping also mentioned this problem.
Saturday's live broadcast was a great success, with 3.5 tons of pomegranates sold in 24 hours, and a total of 6.8 tons sold today, of which half a ton was repurchased by old customers.
Under this kind of achievement, Xu Heping naturally wants to make persistent efforts to sell the cash crops produced by the surrounding villages while the iron is hot.
But Lin Lin has more than ten different kinds of cash crops, and he can't all be on it all at once, so he must arrange a sequence, and then discuss and plan the live broadcast plan.
Therefore, Xu Heping, under Li Sixin's suggestion, sorted the cash crops according to their variety, taste, quantity, maturity date, and transportation portability.
Fruits that are delicious and easy to transport, such as oranges, dates, persimmons, etc., naturally have no problems and are easily arranged.
But after tasting the astringent and bitter tea leaves in Liaojia Village, the grapes in Hua'an Village that are too well watered, and the sour lemons in Shuangzhai Village, Xu Heping had a headache.
If customers are not satisfied with these cash crops, their first reaction must be that Xu's lo-mei is floating and they are starting to fool people.
Although it was a little unbearable, after several measurements, Xu An and Xu Heping reached an agreement to remove these products that did not meet the market sales requirements from the live broadcast list.
After the order was announced, the few villages that were not selected took turns to ask why, and Xu Heping had to explain to them over and over again why they were not selected
After this day, Xu An almost never went out of Hezibao again, for fear that he would meet the people of those villages on the road and see the disappointment and envy in their eyes
Although Xu An did not personally experience all this, from Xu Heping's description, he felt the regret that this kind of strength was not enough.
Now, though, things seem to be turning around!
"Dani, did you make this lemon tea?" Xu An turned his head to look at Liang Dani, who was holding the tray with a worried face, and asked, "In addition to the tea and lemon from Hezibao, what other condiments are used?" β
Liang Dani couldn't tell whether Xu An wanted to be held accountable or praised, so she skipped the first half of the sentence and returned directly to the second half of the sentence: "Except for the tea and lemon in Hezibao, only syrup and water are added, and there are no other ingredients." β
"How much does the syrup cost?"
"I bought it on Taobao, six yuan, eight cents and five hundred grams, and a cup of lemon tea uses fifty grams of syrup."
"If you purchase one ton of syrup at a time, the price is 2,400 yuan," Lu Ziyue, the logistics director, added on the side: "There are several factories producing syrup in Haishi, and it is very convenient to procure. β
Hezibao's tea costs three yuan a catty, medium-sized lemons cost two dollars a catty, and syrup costs two cents a catty, and the price of raw materials is very cheap!
Xu An didn't know how much a cup of lemon tea was sold on the market today, but in later generations, the price of lemon tea once climbed to more than 20 yuan a cup, and even if the price dropped later, it was more than 10 yuan
Suppose the price of lemon tea is ten yuan a cup, the cost of a cup of lemon tea is between 1.5-2 yuan, and the remaining eight yuan is pure profit!
Hissββββ
The milk tea industry is so profitable!
If you only sell lemon tea, the upfront investment of the store is only 30,000 yuan, why not try it?
"Tang Wen!" Xu An looked away from the lemon tea in his hand, looked at Tang Wen, who was happily eating melons with lemon tea, and instructed: "In addition to the live broadcast plan, other work will be moved back, today and tomorrow, you will run the market to check the data, and make a survey report on the milk tea industry to me, the main direction is lemon tea!" β
"Hmm!" Tang Wen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she blurted out, "Boss, are you planning to attack the milk tea industry?" β
"I have this idea, but can I put this idea into practice until the investigation report comes out" After that, Xu An turned his head to look at Liang Dani and asked again: "Did you make this lemon tea?" β
With the conversation just now, Liang Dani naturally understood what Xu An wanted to do, and immediately opened her mouth and replied: "This is Aunt Fang's suggestion, I will follow the online tutorial with Aunt He!" β
"Are you interested in making lemon tea?"
In Xu An's words, Liang Dani thought of a possibility, and her voice suddenly stammered: "Old. Boss you. You're thinking."
"Are you interested?" Xu An did not answer, but continued to ask.
Liang Dani glanced at Aunt Fang and Aunt He, and only after seeing the look of support and encouragement on their faces did she muster up the courage to respond: "Interested!" Boss, I do! β
"Then you are researching other practices of lemon tea in these days, such as passion fruit lemon tea, fruit slam lemon tea, kumquat lemon tea, etc., the materials can be purchased by Director Lu, and if the lemons and tea are not enough, you can contact Mr. Xu to send some more."
After arranging this temporary work, Xu An's eyes fell on Wang Fulong and asked, "Director Wang, when will you go to Dongqing City to sign the contract?" β
"Tomorrow, I will sort out a few more bidding materials in Dongqing City today, and bring them over tomorrow to see if I can win them." Wang Fulong replied.
"Tomorrow," Xu An lowered his head and muttered for two seconds before saying, "Okay, I know, I wish you a successful start!" β
With that, Xu An returned to the office with lemon tea.
In fact, just now Xu An wanted to say that he would leave for Dongqing City with Wang Fulong and them tomorrow, but thinking of the cramped feeling he felt when he traveled with the leader in his previous life, he finally dispelled this idea, and it would be better to go over by himself tomorrow.
The purpose of Xu An's visit to Dongqing City this time is to discuss cooperation with the person in charge of the Dongqing Disabled Persons' Federation, whether it is the cooperation with the members of the Dongqing Disabled Persons' Federation, or the preparation of Xu's Lo Mei to open a fast food restaurant and Lo Mei branch in Dongqing City, we have to have a good chat.
Early the next morning, Xu An set off directly from Xujia Village and spent an hour and a half arriving at the location of the Dongqing Disabled Persons' Federation.
"Boss Xu, you're here! Please come in, please come in, it's been hard along the way! After receiving Xu An's news, Zhao Dahai, the person in charge of the Dongqing Disabled Persons' Federation, estimated the time of Xu An's arrival, and stood outside the door ten minutes in advance to greet him.
"Leader, that's too polite."
The two walked to the office while greeting each other, and waited until the assistant made tea for the two, served snacks, and closed the door to leave.
"The main purpose of visiting Dongqing City this time is to ask for a few people with you, I don't know if you are happy?" Xu An took the lead in saying his intentions, and didn't let Zhao Dahai guess for too long.
"How many people do you want" Zhao Dahai answered: "I don't know what kind of people you want, Boss Xu, and what do you want to do?" β
"I went to the factory of Xinyang Commercial Kitchen Technology Co., Ltd. a few days ago and bought two pieces of equipment." Xu An briefly explained the antecedents and said: "The company got the group meal list here in Dongqing City yesterday, and plans to open a branch here in Dongqing City, so I want to ask the leader if you can provide me with some manpower here."
Two people are arranged in the back kitchen to be responsible for operating the intelligent stir-fry equipment for cooking, and four people are responsible for the follow-up lunch distribution and packaging, a total of six people are needed, I don't know if the leader can provide me with a candidate?"
From Xu An's words, Zhao Dahai analyzed two key information, the first is that Xu's Catering is preparing to open two branches of Xu's Fast Food and Xu's Lo Mei in Dongqing City, and the second is that Xu An is preparing to recruit six members from the Disabled Persons' Federation as regular employees!
Zhao Dahai's focus is not on the second key information, but on the first key information, Xu's Lo Mei is going to open a branch in Dongqing City!
"Congratulations to Boss Xu! It seems that the stores of Xu's fast food and Xu's lo-mei are just around the corner in Haiyang Province," after a compliment, Zhao Dahai asked with curiosity: "I'm a little curious, Boss Xu, why did you choose Dongqing City as the first stop to open a branch?" It's because of the cooperation these days, Boss Xu, do you think Dongqing City has a lot to do? β
"Yes and no." Xu An shook his head and smiled: "Through these days of cooperation, I know that the people of Dongqing City have a high acceptance of Xu's lo-mei, which is one of the reasons, and the other reason is that our company has reached a group meal cooperation with some companies in Dongqing City."
"Oh! It turns out that this is the case, Boss Xu, you are double happy! After congratulating again, Zhao Dahai smiled happily: "Boss Xu, I'll add a little more here, how about making a three-happiness for you?" β
"Three joys?" Although Xu An guessed what Zhao Dahai was going to say next, his face still showed curiosity and pretended to be puzzled.
"Yes" Zhao Dahai put down the teacup he had been playing with in his hand, his eyes fell directly on Xu An's face, and he said: "Even if you don't come to Dongqing City today, Boss Xu, I plan to go to Haishi to find you, Boss Xu!" β
"Oh?" Xu An did not speak after uttering a monosyllable representing doubt, waiting for Zhao Dahai's next words.
I have been cooperating with Xu's Lo Mei for more than a week, and through this more than a week of cooperation, it can be determined that your store's Lo Mei has a great future here in Dongqing City, and other members of the Disabled Persons' Federation are also eager to try it after seeing the benefits. I'd like to ask Boss Xu about formal cooperation."
"Yo, this is really three joys, welcome, very welcome" Although there was a long guess, after hearing these words with his own ears, Xu An still couldn't control his expression, and laughed directly.
At present, there are a total of 57 members of the Haishi Disabled Persons' Federation and Xu's Lo Mei, which steadily consumes three and a half tons of output every day, and this cooperation alone supports one-third of Xu's Lo Mei sales.
Now, the Dongqing Disabled Persons' Federation is also ready to reach a formal cooperation with Xu's Lo-mei, which means that Xu's Lo-mei can add a stable input, and Xu An is naturally very happy!
Moreover, Dongqing City has already made a choice, and Jiangyuan City is also coming soon!
With the existence of three successful cases in Haishi, Dongqing City and Jiangyuan City, presumably the Disabled Persons' Federations in other cities will also be ready to move!
"Boss Xu, I don't know how the Xu's lo-mei shop here in Dongqing City works" Zhao Dahai turned the topic back: "Is it produced and sold here, or is it produced in the sea market and transported to the store here for sale?" β
This is not something that needs to be hidden, Xu An replied directly: "At present, the company is starting to set up a cold chain transport fleet, whether it is Dongqing City, Jiangyuan City or other cities in the future, it will be produced in Haishi, and transported by the cold chain transport fleet to major cities."
Zhao Dahai captured another key word in Xu An's words - cold chain transportation fleet.
However, Xu An continued to talk about the next plan, and Zhao Dahai didn't have time to think deeply, so he could only keep this word in his heart and continue to listen carefully to Xu An's story.
After the number of branches or sales reaches a certain level, we will build a transit warehouse in major cities to store the prepared lo-mei, which is convenient for the stores and partners to transfer goods, etc."
Anyway, there is no need for money to brag, so Xu An's plan (cowhide) became bigger and bigger, and he quickly finished talking about the layout of Haiyang Province, and then talked about the matter of entering other provinces
Xu An's words here were hearty, and Zhao Dahai was also a little excited when he listened to Xu An's demagogic words.
But when Zhao Dahai was excited, he also had an extra question in his heart, why did Boss Xu tell him so many things about the development of Xu's catering, which is a little unreasonable in public and private.
Just when Zhao Dahai was puzzled, Xu An took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and saw the dagger.
"Leader, I need a little help from you here, it's like we're looking for a store, applying for a license or something, I wonder if you can help say hello and make the process go faster?" Xu An didn't sell it, and directly said his purpose completely in one breath.
On the Haishi side, with the help of Uncle Liang and Lin Xuyang, various qualification application documents can be directly approved as long as they meet the requirements, which takes a very short time.
But no matter how extensive Uncle Liang's communication is, after leaving Haishi, the relationship will weaken, and if Xu An wants to pass various approvals quickly like in Haishi, then he can only start from the Disabled Persons' Federation.
Although the Disabled Persons' Federation is a relatively marginal department, who doesn't have a few friends?
And the Disabled Persons' Federation is also a small snake, with their appearance, Xu's catering can also suffer less unnecessary trouble, right?
"The materials we submitted must meet the requirements, we just want to go through the process quickly to get the qualifications, so that we can open as soon as possible, right?" Xu An saw the hesitation in Zhao Dahai's eyes, and immediately assured: "If the material is unqualified and withdrawn, this situation only needs to occur once!" Leader you just let me fart today! β
Listening to Xu An's assurance, the hesitation on Zhao Dahai's face gradually dissipated, just saying hello and letting the process go faster, this little thing will not be picked out.
Again, Boss Xu said just now that there are only six members because there is not much cooperation in Dongqing City at present, and after more cooperation, there will definitely be more and more people who need to be hired, but all the positions where the members of the Disabled Persons' Federation can meet the work needs will give priority to the members of the Disabled Persons' Federation
These two guarantees are enough for another hello.
Then the two discussed the future cooperation between Dongqing City and Xu's Catering, and after determining the relevant matters, Zhao Dahai sent Xu An out of the Dongqing Disabled Persons' Federation, and did not return to the office until Xu An's car left sight.
The future development plan of Xu's Catering includes all cities in Hai Duong Province. The next step is to set up a cold chain transportation fleet. This time, I chose Dongqing City because I reached a group meal cooperation with the enterprises here.
These things don't sound like anything on their own, but after connecting them, Zhao Dahai feels that he has found a pattern - cities with group meals will give priority to opening branches!
If this is really the case, then can the old friend Jiang Dashan card this condition and reach a cooperation with Xu's Lo Mei one step in advance?
Splendid Hotel in the office.
"Jialun, in the past two months, the performance of our hotel's group meal has declined a bit! Did you find a specific reason here? β
Splendid Hotel replaced Ren Jialun, the trust director who forced Wang Fulong away, and his face became ugly when he heard this.
At the beginning, Ren Jialun simply thought that these people were cooperating in the name of 'Splendid Hotel', and Wang Fulong's existence was irrelevant.
But after Wang Fulong left, Ren Jialun understood that some of these cooperation people reached cooperation because of Wang Fulong! It's Wang Fulong!
After Wang Fulong left, he joined Xu's Catering, which also did group catering business, and some people followed Wang Fulong to cooperate with Xu's Catering after the cooperation with Fairview Hotel expired, and others reached cooperation with other hotels!
Although Ren Jialun tried to find new partners to fill these vacancies, the speed of replenishment could not keep up with the speed of churn, and the gap became bigger and bigger.
Thinking that the cooperation of three more companies expired at the end of October, and they were all companies with more than 500 people, Ren Jialun's face became even more gloomy.
But no matter what, it is impossible for him to say such a stupid thing as Wang Fulong took away the customer, if he said so, wouldn't he directly tell the leader that he is not as good as Wang Fulong?
At this time, you have to give the leader a reassurance!
"Leader, I was negligent in my work." Ren Jialun decisively admitted his mistake, and then said confidently: "Now I am staring at the [Binary Lunch] project, which is a big project that will be promoted to every community in our Haishi. After winning this project, we will have high-quality and stable customers, and we can also have a link with relevant departments, which has many benefits! β
"This is indeed a good project, but I heard that the Xu's Catering where Director Wang works is also involved, and Harvest Farm has also stepped in, and now the situation is very stale!"
"Although the opponent is very strong, we are not weak, at present, the reputation of the [Eryuan Canteen] launched by our Splendid Hotel is quite good, and the recognition of the residents of the Nanshe area is quite high, and the advantage is on our side!"
"You can't put all your eggs in one basket, and this project is really important, but it's also about developing new partners, isn't that right?"
"Yes, the leader is right, it was my work that was negligent, and I will correct it immediately!"
"Well, yes, you have to pay more attention to the trends of Xu's catering, and you can't take them lightly because they have been established for a short time."
β.β
After some advice, the leader of the Splendid Hotel couldn't help but sigh after watching Ren Jialun walk out of the office, pressed his hands on his temples, and rubbed them gently.
When Wang Fulong was still in the Splendid Hotel, he could arrange these things properly, and he didn't need to ask about it himself.
It's not that Ren Jialun is completely incompetent, but with Wang Fulong Zhuyu in front, it's hard not to compare the two together.
If it weren't for the shareholders' insistence on putting this person in this position, they wouldn't let Wang Fulong leave if they said anything
Wang Fulong is also a dead brain, he can't see the situation clearly, obviously as long as he stays honestly for three months at most for the New Year, this Ren Jialun will definitely be transferred, and the position of director will not be his!
It's really useless to leave your job because of such a run!
