Chapter 610: Education from Lao Tzu
"How can you do big business in this situation?"
"You don't think that your Lao Tzu's business was so big at the beginning, or that it would be so big in a year or two, right?"
"There are many ways to do business, one must be to have enough capital in hand to gain a firm foothold in a certain industry and a certain place at once, and seize a lot of market share."
"Another way is to rely on the work of water milling."
"Acquire a little more today, buy a little more tomorrow, and you will collect more and more over the years."
"Business is not a matter of one day or two days, but one year, two years, ten years, eight years, and even I have been doing business all my life, the two of you have been doing business for a lifetime, plus my grandson's generation has been doing business for a lifetime."
"That's how we can get bigger and bigger."
"It's another way, it seems to take a long time, but it's very safe and doesn't have much risk."
"Blindly raising prices, it is indeed possible to buy more fish, shrimp and crabs."
"But like I just said, it will have a big impact."
"There's a series of things happening that are most likely out of our control."
"In many cases, when we do business, a little more or less money can solve the problem."
"The fish, shrimp and crabs caught by the people who go out to sea are sold to us, or to other buyers, and in fact the price is not much different."
"Sell to one person or sell to another, on what basis?"
"It's based on how you have a relationship with him, or if he sees you pleasing or not."
"It's all about the impressions or feelings that you've accumulated in the course of dealing with each other."
"Why has your business become bigger and bigger in the past ten years?"
"It's all about grinding and dealing with people who go out to sea day after day."
"These people are willing to do business with me when they come back from fishing, and they are willing to sell the fish, shrimp and crabs in their hands to us."
Ding Chongshan glanced at Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, who were sitting opposite him.
Doing business can be said to be very simple, but it is very difficult to make a big business and make a lot of money. Other people, including Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, only see the scale of their current business, and only see how much money they make now.
What no one saw or noticed was that it took more than ten years for them to get to the scale they are today. How much effort has been put into this process, only you know.
"Nothing in this world is easy!"
"Your Lao Tzu's business is not like it came out of thin air, and I don't know how much it cost me."
"I didn't tell you about these things in the past, because you were still young, and the other one didn't come back to take over the business."
"If you two have decided to come back and take over the family's business now, these things have to be clear."
Zhang Li looked serious.
Ding Jie and Ding Weijun suddenly felt the pressure.
Ding Chongshan saw that it was almost noon, and sent Ding Jie and Ding Weijun to a nearby food stall for dinner, and brought food back for himself and Zhang Li after eating.
"Wouldn't it be too early to tell them something like this now?"
Zhang Li was a little worried about the impact of what Ding Chongshan just said on Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, after the two of them listened, the smile on their faces disappeared completely, very serious, and they didn't know what to think in their hearts.
"It's not a three-year-old child, if you can't stand it when you hear such a little talk, then don't come back to do business!"
Ding Chongshan waved his hand.
The words just said are indeed very cruel, ten years of slow business, this is really not something that ordinary people can stick to.
Ding Jie and Ding Weijun are relatively young, and they both like to solve problems in simple and direct ways, thinking that their business will become bigger and stronger overnight.
I don't know if it will work anywhere else, but here at the dock, especially here at my own dock, it will definitely not work.
If Ding Jie and Ding Weijun don't decide or take over the business, they don't have to care about these things, they don't have to talk to them, as long as they decide to come back and take over the business, these things must be clear.
"Let's make this matter clear, don't make your own decisions or be hot-headed when the two of them buy seafood one day, and suddenly increase the purchase price."
"What do you think is going to happen?"
"We are not the only one here to buy fish, shrimp and crabs, there are several, and even another one has joined recently."
"One day it's uncertain, our competitors will dig a hole, and Ding Jie and Ding Weijun will blindly raise the price."
"In every way, this matter has to be said."
Ding Chongshan knew that such words would definitely have an impact on Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, and even cause huge pressure, but he had to say it.
"Over the years, our business has become bigger and bigger, and these buyers here at the wharf, or even those buyers from other wharves, are all very angry."
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."
"We're making more money now than the rest of the family, and it's a lot more."
"Don't look at those people with smiles on their faces when they see us, and sometimes they even have to invite us to dinner."
"But let's be honest, as long as it's a business, which one isn't a smiling tiger? Including us, we are all like this. ”
"Ding Jie and Ding Weijun have indeed learned a lot from working in large companies over the years, but don't forget what Zhao Dahai said a few days ago."
"The things that Ding Jie and Ding Weijun learned in a big company are not suitable for our business here."
"We don't just have to talk about these things, we have to keep an eye on them!"
What Ding Chongshan has been pondering these days is not whether Ding Jie and Ding Weijun should come back to take over the business, this matter has been decided, Ding Jie and Ding Weijun are willing to come back, they have to come back, they have to come back if they don't want to come back, there is no second choice.
What Ding Chongshan has been thinking about in the past few days is what Zhao Dahai said, Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, what they have learned in large companies in recent years, are not suitable for places like the town wharf.
Zhang Li had to nod.
Ding Jie and Ding Weijun have brains, and they will not be bad at doing business, but they are lacking in these aspects.
"Zhao Dahai is a child of a poor family, and he is in charge of the family early."
"My father and mother left early, but this allowed him to support the whole family alone."
"Ding Jie and Ding Weijun have had no shortage of food and drink since they were children, and they have worked in big cities and large companies for several years."
"Many things and many aspects are not as good as Zhao Dahai."
"There's nothing to say if you're not in business, but once you're in business, you have to keep an eye on it."
Ding Chongshan has been in business for many years and knows very well how cruel this industry is.
Small pier?
There are tens of thousands of catties of fish, shrimp and crabs purchased here every day, and sometimes even more than 100,000 catties.
Who doesn't want a monopoly that collects all these fish, shrimps and crabs and sells them to make money?
I make millions here a year, how can those other people have no ideas?
Zhang Li thought for a moment and nodded.
Ding Jie and Ding Weijun grew up in a relatively good environment, especially in recent years, when he worked in a large company in a big city, he had no contact with and took over the business at all.
I don't understand a lot of things, I don't understand a lot of things, and I really have to keep my eyes open and keep an eye on it.
"Hey!"
"Ding Jie and Ding Weijun have really wasted their time in big cities in recent years."
"When it comes to doing business, the two of them are not as good as Xiaoxiang."
Zhang Li sighed.
"Hmm!"
"Xiaoxiang is really good at business, not to mention Ding Jie and Ding Weijun now, even if Ding Jie and Ding Weijun come back and follow us to do business for five or six years, they can't compare to Xiaoxiang."
"It's not as simple as Xiaoxiang following us to do business all the time."
"Some people will understand it as soon as they see it."
"Xiaoxiang has a talent for doing business, and from this point of view, it is really cheaper for Zhao Dahai."
Ding Chongshan was a little helpless, but there was no way, Xiaoxiang was a girl, she had to get married, and it was impossible to accept the business in the family if she got married.
"Forget it!"
"What are you doing with this?"
"Ding Jie and Ding Weijun are back to take over the family's business now, let's spend more time on cultivating slowly, and there is time."
Zhang Li sighed, before the Chinese New Year, she heard that Ding Jie and Ding Weijun were unwilling to come back to take over the business of the family, and the business of the family really wanted to be handed over to Ding Xiaoxiang. Ding Xiaoxiang does have a talent for business, but sooner or later she will get married, but she can't stay at home.
"That's right!"
"Didn't Ding Xiaoxiang go to Shijiao Village with Zhao Dahai today?"
Ding Chongshan remembered that Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai went to Shijiao Village today.
"Hmm!"
"Didn't you say that? Zhao Dahai went to the fish market early in the morning to help wait for the stall, and all the fish, shrimp and crabs were sold, so he went to Shijiao Village with Ding Xiaoxiang. ”
"Ding Chongshan."
"Why do I always think that the cooperation between Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua is not too necessary?"
Zhang Li shook her head, this is not the first time to talk to Ding Chongshan about this matter, others are not too good at fishing, they don't make too much money, they can earn fishing fees by taking others out to sea to fish, conservative but very cost-effective, Zhao Dahai is different from others, he can make a lot of money by fishing, there is really no need to do such a thing.
"Hah!"
"Isn't this something already done?"
"There are many considerations for the cooperation between Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua, one is that they will definitely be able to make money. The fishing positions in the deep sea are not the same as those in the open sea, there are more fish at the point, Zhao Dahai must not be able to catch it alone, take others to fish, tell others where and how to fish, and make money while fishing the fish they catch can also make money, which is equal to making two parts of the money. ”
"The other is to take precautions, no one knows how many years the fish in the open sea can be fished, Zhao Dahai runs two or three times a year, not only to make money, the other is to accumulate more experience, especially to be familiar with the various fishing spots in the deep sea. If you can't catch fish in the open sea and have to go to the deep sea, you can just spend money on a boat and do it yourself. ”
"The other is that Zhao Dahai ran these two trips to the deep sea, and Shi Jiehua's family helped a lot, and some love debts still have to be repaid. No matter what kind of industry you are in, you can't be alone. Three gangs of a hero. ”
"Zhao Dahai is now cooperating with Shi Jiehua, what kind of things do you really encounter, someone to help, and the other thing is to have one more friend and one more way."
"Zhao Dahai thinks about these things clearly and clearly."
"We don't have to worry about that."
Ding Chongshan smiled, since the relationship between Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai was determined, a large part of Zhang Li's mind was on Zhao Dahai, no matter what she did, she had to think about it, and she had to analyze it, but as she just said, no matter what aspect it was, this cooperation had great benefits.
"Hey!"
"Okay! Let's go! ”
"What can I say? Zhao Dahai knew that he had his own ideas at this glance. ”
"But Xiaoxiang followed him, how could we not think about it more?"
Zhang Li sighed softly.
Ding Chongshan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Li, being a parent is like this, no matter how old the children are, they will be worried.
Ding Jie and Ding Weijun arrived at a food stall on the edge of the dock and ordered a few dishes, but there were more people who came here to eat before noon, and they had to wait for a while before they could be cooked and packed.
"Ding Weijun."
"What do you think of what Daddy and Auntie just said?"
Ding Jie took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit a whole packet and threw it to Ding Weijun.
"Alas!"
"It seems that we really think a little simpler."
"I thought that this idea was good, let's see if I can talk to my father and mother, and increase the price in the next few days."
"Let's see if we can buy more fish, shrimp and crabs."
Ding Weijun lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, and shook his head as he spoke.
In the past few days, he and his eldest brother Ding Jie have begun to contact the business of the family, and every day I watch the fish, shrimp and crabs returned from the fishing boats at the dock more than my family can collect, and the idea of collecting more fish, shrimp and crabs slowly emerged in my heart.
I discussed it with my eldest brother Ding Jie, and I felt that the simplest, most direct and most effective way was to increase the purchase price.
I thought that such a method would definitely be able to get the support of my father and mother, but I didn't expect that a basin of cold water would be poured directly from my head just now.
I and my eldest brother Ding Jie really think too much and think too simply.
"Who would have thought that such a small dock could make so much money?"
"Who would have thought that the competition in a tattered, inconspicuous little dock would be so fierce?"
"The water here is so much deeper than our brothers imagined!"
"Honestly follow my father and mother to do business for two or three years."
"Say anything else!"
Ding Jie turned his head to look at the dock, looked at the entire sea surface opposite the dock, and couldn't see where the edge was, Lao Tzu Ding Chongshan's words just now, a slap on the face, suddenly sobered up, don't be ambitious, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, especially don't think that you and Ding Weijun have worked in a large company, you feel that you are better than the people in the small dock, in fact, it is far behind, each of them is not something that you and Ding Weijun can deal with now.
Ask for a commuter pass! Thank you!
