The Era of Hard Work

Chapter 495: Nine sheep

   Chapter 495 Nine Sheep

  Beside the small round table in the hall, Wang Xuming seemed a little nervous. Facing Zhang Tao, he unconsciously turned a head short.

   "Mr. Zhang, last time a business manager of my company visited Sanlian Commercial Building."

   Asking for others, Wang Xuming's voice was an octave lower: "We really have 120,000 expectations and want to cooperate with Sanlian Home Appliances."

   Zhang Tao smiled and asked, "Xiao Wang, do you want your products to enter the Sanlian store?"

  Wang Xuming said quickly: "Yes, we have been working hard for this, to further strengthen the product quality and beautify the outer packaging to meet the requirements of Sanlian."

Zhang Tao didn't answer, but instead asked: "I remember your company is a small home appliance manufacturer, what kind of it does it do?" This person just had an impression, but couldn't remember exactly: "Which company are you from? "

  Wang Xuming was not unhappy about being ignored, but said: "The company's main maker is a soymilk maker, which is currently called Jiuyang. By the way, our company is also preparing to enter the induction cooker industry this year."

   "Your company is not well-known enough." Zhang Tao shook his head directly: "Soymilk machine? How big is the market for this thing?"

   This is a disguised refusal. Wang Xuming tried his best to keep his face unchanged: "Mr. Zhang, there is a market for soymilk machines. Otherwise, let's conduct a trial sale first?"

   Zhang Tao didn't say anything about refusing directly: "You first come up with a plan and send it to Sanlian's business department."

  Wang Xuming still wants to fight: "One month, Mr. Zhang, give us one month..."

  Zhang Tao looked at the table, stood up and said, "Xiao Wang, I'm sorry, I still have something to do here, I'll go first."

   Wang Xuming had no choice but to watch Zhang Tao leave.

From the development of the country's first electric soymilk maker in 1994, it has grown to a small scale. It is not easy for Wang Xuming to go further. Entering a home appliance hypermarket is a key step. It is not very helpful to the general market trend, and it is difficult to enter chain hypermarkets.

  I went to Guangmei Electric, because there is no reliable relationship, and I have never dealt with Guangmei Electric before. Guangmei Electric has little interest in a local small home appliance company.

   There are too many similar small household appliance companies all over the country, especially in the south. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are blooming everywhere.

  Guangmei trusts southern brands more.

   The name and patents of the first electric soymilk maker are useless.

  Wang Xuming has had a very deep feeling in the past two years. Patents are useful and useful. When they say they are useless, they are really useless at all.

   Several times, Jiuyang’s new products have just come out, the patent has just been applied for, and there are imitations on the market soon.

  I got used to it and became numb. While continuing to develop new technologies, Wang Xuming gradually understood that the channel is king, and the sales channel is the key.

  A home appliance chain store, a place that specializes in selling brand home appliances, brings consumers not only service, but also trust.

   Zhang Tao left, Wang Xuming got up and saw Lu Dong.

   The difference between the two is ten years, and they are also considered to be self-made, but before he went to sea, he was a secondary school teacher, while Lu Dong was only a high school graduate.

   "Mr. Lu." Wang Xuming took the initiative to greet him.

  The former Quannan people, how could they have never heard the name of Jiuyang, Lu Dong said: "Brother Wang, we are about the same age, we are all friends of Brother Mu, just call me Lu Dong."

  Wang Xuming had dealt with Lu Dong in the morning and at noon, and knew that this person was easy-going and understood the world.

   Wang Xuming said with a smile, "Brother Lu, sit here."

   Lu Dong pulled out his chair, sat opposite Wang Xuming, pointed in the direction Zhang Tao was leaving, and casually said a reason: "I just saw Mr. Zhang from Sanlian, Brother Wang intends to invest in Sanlian's real estate company?"

Wang Xuming didn't know much about Lu Dong, but he knew about the stores of the three major chain brands under Lu's Catering. Hearing Lu Dong's mention of Sanlian, he suddenly remembered something. It seems that in many shopping malls in Quannan, the stores of Lu's Catering are the same as those of Lu's Catering. Ginza Mall and Guangmei Electric are next to each other.

  If one place is coincidence and two places are coincidence, then three or four places, or coincidence?

  Thinking of this, Wang Xuming said directly: "It's not that I want to invest in Sanlian Real Estate. My business can't be mixed into the cauldron of real estate."

Thinking that the two met for the first time today, he specifically mentioned Mu Kun: "My company, Mu Kun also said in the morning's introduction that it is a small kitchen appliance manufacturer, mainly producing electric soymilk machines, and last year it won a gold award in the province. …”

Having said this, he realized that this was not the person in charge of the connection with the hypermarket. He smiled and said, "I just wanted to talk about the sale of Jiuyang's soymilk machine to Sanlian with Mr. Zhang from Sanlian. It's a pity, The Sanlian family has a big business, and they don't look down on local small businesses like Jiuyang, so they directly refused."

   Lu Dong asked tentatively, "Without Sanlian appliances, Quannan still has Guangmei appliances."

   "I tried it." Wang Xuming smiled helplessly: "The contact between Jiuyang and Guangmei Electric has not been smooth. They trust the small home appliance brands in the south more..."

  While the two of them were talking, Mu Kun came over, heard Wang Xuming's last words, pulled a chair, sat next to Lu Dong, and said with a smile, "It's not that difficult."

He and Wang Xuming have known each other for seven or eight years, and their friendship has always been good. In Jiuyang Company, his investment began two years ago, but he usually does not participate in specific management and operation at all, and he does not even ask much about it. I heard Wang Xuming talking about it today. In this matter, he took advantage of the situation and said, "Lu Dong, you have nothing to say about your relationship with Guangmei. Help Brother Wang introduce him."

   Mu Kun knew that Lu Dong and Wang Xuming had just met, so he simply said: "I don't hide it from you, I also have some investment in Jiuyang."

Lu Dong and Mu Kun had an old relationship, and the recommendation didn't mean that Guangmei would definitely accept Jiuyang's entry, just acting as a middleman, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll call President Fan soon to see when Mr. Fan will be. If you are free, let's have dinner together."

   Wang Xuming was a little excited: "Mr. Lu..."

   Lu Dong raised his hand slightly and said, "Brother Wang, I can only recommend you."

  Wang Xuming understood that when he was a teacher, Wen Xuexuan replied: "I am grateful!"

   Lu Dong took out his mobile phone and went to call Fan Yunming. Fan Yunming was not in Quannan and was on a business trip. Tell Lu Dong to have someone go directly to Guangmei's branch in Quannan and find the corresponding person in charge.

   This is also a way.

   Lu Dong wrote down the contact information and handed it over to Wang Xuming. Wang Xuming was in no hurry, and he was afraid of any changes. He would leave immediately and go back to the company to arrange the corresponding matters.

   Before leaving, Wang Xuming specifically exchanged contact information with Mr. Lu: "Mr. Lu, when I go to the university town again, I will definitely come to visit, but don't be too troublesome."

   Lu Dong said with a smile: "How come."

  After Wang Xuming left, Mu Kun said, "Brother Wang has such a temperament and only sees work."

   Lu Dong said: "It is not easy to be successful in starting a business."

   Mu Kun laughed: "Compared to you and Brother Wang, my second-generation rich is much easier."

   Lu Dong turned the topic to Wang Xuming again and asked, "Brother Mu, how is the development of the nine sheep you invested in?"

"It's so-so, I can only say it's okay." Mu Kun thought for a while and said, "In recent years, Brother Wang has paid more attention to product quality and technology research and development, and the market has not done well. Since the establishment of Jiuyang Small Appliances in 1994 Up to now, the scale output value is not even comparable to that of your catering company, and I don’t know when I will get enough returns for the money I put in.”

   He added: "If it wasn't for Brother Wang's sake, I wouldn't have invested in Jiuyang Small Appliances' IPO in 1998."

   From these words, Lu Dong got a lot of useful information, so he simply asked directly: "Brother Mu, is there still financing behind Jiuyang?"

Mu Kun understood Lu Dong's meaning as soon as he heard it, and said, "It is definitely necessary to raise funds. As for the research and development costs of Jiuyang, I expect to raise funds and expand shares in the first half of this year. I remember that I went to the shareholders meeting last time, and Brother Wang plans to do it again. Investing in the construction of new factories requires money, and without financing, where can Jiuyangshang find so much capital, with their performance and development speed in the past two years, bank loans are not easy to lend.”

   He asked Lu Dong: "Why, are you interested in Jiuyang?"

"I'm a catering business, and kitchen appliances are the key." Lu Dong said the truth: "Many foreign brands are always choking when they are used. Not to mention the high cost, it is not convenient for later maintenance. The cost of domestic products will definitely be reduced.”

   Mu Kun nodded: "That's the same question."

   Lu Dong pondered for a while and said, "Brother Mu, Jiuyang has refinanced and expanded its shares, let me know, I still have some spare funds on hand."

   "Okay." Mu Kun said: "Compared to outsiders, the investment of those of us who know the basics is more secure to use."

   Even if this matter is finalized, Lu Dong and Mu Kun will discuss it for a while and make sure that when Jiuyang finds another investment, Lu Dong will be the first to notify.

  Mu Kun is a fairly small shareholder of Jiuyang, and it is very convenient to do it.

   The funds that Lu Dong received from dividends have never been used. Originally, they were discussing to go to the Magic Capital with Song Na to buy a house, but it is not bad to take part of it for investment.

  Those things that are far away in the sky are unrealistic, but Jiuyang is in the south of Quannan, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is right under the eyes of Lu Dong.

  Quannan is Lu Dong's base camp, so you don't have to worry about people playing tricks with him.

   Large enterprises from other places really want to play capital games with people. Those who are not strong enough are probably only ravaged.

  It is like a small business owner from other places went to Pingcheng to invest in Weiqiao Group, and when the money came in, Weiping and his son couldn't help but rub it.

   But in Quannan, facing Jiuyang, who is still a real small power plant, Lu Dong doesn't have to worry about it at all.

   Having said that, if you invest in nine sheep, the preservation and return rate should not be worse than buying a property, right?

Lv Dong didn't know whether Jiuyang Home Appliances was listed and how much its market value was. He didn't play the stock market at all, and he didn't care about the stock market at all. He was just an ordinary shop owner who was busy with life. Jiuyang undoubtedly ranks first in the country in these two categories.

  Although I feel that buying a house in Modu is the most secure, but Lu Dong has asked Mu Kun carefully for a while, it seems that he can really invest in Jiuyang, and he can also give it a try.
