Chapter 180: Sven the Devil
Lu Ming is the leader of Caozhou clothing, Li Siwen is the leader of Caozhou food, the two industries have not formed a direct competitive relationship, theoretically speaking, aside from personal factors, they should have coexisted peacefully and contributed to the economic development of Caozhou together, this is the problem that Sun Luochun considered.
Therefore, this peace talk not only brought Lu Shuhang, but even other leaders of Caozhou were involved, and at the dinner table, Sun Luochun talked a lot of big truths bitterly.
Li Siwen didn't listen much, but he didn't refuse either, after all, in the face of many leaders, this face must be given.
However, his attitude towards Lu Ming was still not friendly, but the other party shook hands with him instead of the norm.
At this point, the grievances between the two families have come to an end, but for Li Siwen, the Lu family is like a thorn in his heart, even if he lets it go temporarily, he will pull it out sooner or later, and the reconciliation at this time is just a compromise to the power.
"Lu Ming's attitude is still more sincere today, it seems that you really hurt him, in the past few years, I have seen him lower his posture for the first time." Lu Shuhang said while drinking tea.
"The reconciliation is only temporary, the reason why he did this is just because he can't help me, and when one day his business is completely bigger, the first one will trample me under his feet." Li Siwen shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, I think the same way. ”
"It's scary to have an opponent like you." Lu Shuhang sighed.
"So, my brother and I became friends." Li Siwen said with a smile.
The two chatted a few more digressions, and Lu Shuhang suddenly said: "I want to expand the newspaper, what do you think?" ”
"That's a good thing! It is best to distribute it nationwide, but the student daily newspaper is too limited in terms of name and status, and you can't enter the school market in other provinces and cities, so you still have to face the society. Li Siwen said.
"You mean, start a new newspaper?"
"That's right, but you should know that if you want to make a newspaper a nationwide distribution, you must not only have a lot of financial support, but also have a certain political relationship, and you know the way to do it better than me."
"As long as I want to do it, political relations are not a problem." Lu Shuhang muttered and asked again: "If you start a newspaper again, what do you think is the good name?" ”
"Let's call it Headline Daily!"
"Headline Daily?"
"That's right, I should have told you that the future is the information age, the new media era, newspapers will eventually become the product of the times, transformation is an inevitable trend, and when that day, Toutiao Daily will be renamed Toutiao, and it will appear on the interface of all computers in the form of a website, and appear in everyone's mobile phones."
"New media? Today's headlines? ”
Lu Shuhang touched his chin: "In this way, the name doesn't sound so awkward." ”
Li Siwen smiled mysteriously, he can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, if Lu Shuhang really has the ability to do the media in the future, the help to him will be infinite.
"You gave the name, and the naming fee was obtained, right?"
Li Siwen was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed.
"Brother, your reason for blackmail is too obvious, isn't it?"
"It just works."
……
In the following days, Westward Journey Group completely got rid of the shackles and successfully opened up all the markets in Caozhou, whether it was ham sausage, bread and instant noodles, sales were rising, and the daily net profit had increased from about 10,000 to 40,000, 50,000, or even higher.
This is not only due to the market share and diversification of Journey to the West's products, but more importantly, the strength of the sinking market.
Such a high income naturally makes some people red-eyed, but with the experience of the past, who would dare to follow in the footsteps?
In particular, Caozhou TV Station carried out an all-round report on the Journey to the West with the title of the cemetery of the Ham Empire.
The top product designers, the most advanced equipment, the fastest work efficiency, the most formal production process, and the highest salary, every point is shocking.
What is even more shocking than this is that when some newspapers reprinted it, they directly compared Li Siwen to Sven's devil, saying that he was as benevolent as a bodhisattva, and that he was as "ruthless" as a devil in his business methods.
Of course, this metaphor may not be appropriate, but in the game in the shopping mall, Li Siwen does leave a psychological shadow like the devil.
As soon as June passed, the rainy season finally dissipated, and the disaster situation in Qilu Province was not serious; coupled with the assistance from various localities, the peasants' food rations were not greatly affected, and some towns and villages successively exchanged small amounts of grain for goods.
Although Lin Shu felt that the grain reserves of Journey to the West had seriously exceeded the standard, Li Siwen still decided to implement the policy of exchanging products for grain.
There are two main reasons for this, one is that he has a place to reserve grain for his own use, and the second reason is that with the fall of Jiang Zhentao, the head of the grain station, Ge Jinshui, has also been dismissed, and the new station manager has a good relationship with him, even if the grain is not used up, he can resell it to the grain station.
After making this decision, Li Siwen arranged for the pastry chef Yu Dabao to complete another more difficult task.
At the end of July, two months after the goal set by Li Siwen, Westward Journey Group not only reduced its debt ratio to 25 percent, but also saved nearly one million available cash on hand. Although this number is not much, you must know that two months ago, Journey to the West was a company that could go bankrupt and close down anytime and anywhere.
Today, Journey to the West has not only made a huge profit, but also created nearly 500 jobs, and this scale is still expanding.
"Leaflets have already been handed out, right?" Li Siwen leaned back in his chair and asked.
"And it will be sent into the hands of every household." Zhang Xiaolong replied with a smile.
Li Siwen also laughed, and then looked at Lin Shu and said: "Now that our factory has formed a scale, we can no longer rely on us to take turns, and then we have to complete the formation of the personnel department, finance department, technology department, equipment department and other departments, so that full-time people can do professional things, and some of the specific personnel are selected from the employees in the factory, and some are recruited from the outside, and I only pay attention to two points for recruitment, one is ability, and the other is conduct." ”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the recruitment." Lin Shu said suddenly: "But before recruiting, shouldn't you build a new office building?" You can't let these departments work in the factory, right? ”
"We not only have to build office buildings, but also staff dormitories, and even solve the problem of staff housing, I have submitted an application to the above half a month ago, but the procedures have not come down."
"Would you like to give me this?" Lin Shu rubbed his fingers.
