Chapter 211 Want to change jobs
Before I knew it, it was Friday.
Yu Yue went to Ningde today to sign a contract with Ningde Co., Ltd.
He slept in the dormitory until he woke up naturally. He originally wanted to make an appointment with Boss Hu, who he met last time. After all, Liu Hao's traffic has reached its peak now, and it's time to prepare a brand for him.
He is not prepared to follow other people's models or adopt high-end brands.
In fact, fishing bait and the like are very profitable.
Except for the high cost of kelp silk, other baits, no matter what they are, the cost of any bag will not exceed 80 cents.
Moreover, baits across the country are almost the same. They all use food as raw materials, some need to be fermented, and some are directly mixed.
In the high-end market, he can't make that kind of money because he doesn't want to hire professional bait makers.
He doesn't need the bait to be good enough, he just needs the bait to be cheap enough.
That boss Hu is an OEM company that deals in fishing gear and bait.
Li Yuan also has the other party's contact information, so it shouldn't be difficult to discuss a project.
There is no point in grabbing the high-end market. The investment is not proportional to the effort, which means that the reputation is better.
For real fishermen, a bag of bait worth more than ten yuan is not cost-effective.
I'm about to call the driver.
Then I saw the message Cao Yuanyuan sent early in the morning.
a string of numbers?
"What a fool! We usually play triple encryption."
"I'm doing this just to make things easier for the boss."
"It's so convenient that I shouldn't wear it."
"How does the boss know? I really have nothing to wear today..."
Li Yuan now believes that Cao Yuanyuan's original evaluation of herself was true.
"Stop playing with your own threshold. I won't accompany you crazy when the time comes."
"Hey, my threshold is money. As long as the boss is willing to add money, I can reach any height the boss wants in three seconds."
Li Yuan thought about it. Shu Yanlin had just gone to a new school. On the first Friday, she should have dinner with her roommates.
So I sent a message to Shu Yanlin, telling her that she was busy at night and wouldn't go there, and asked her to have fun with her roommate.
"At ten o'clock in the evening, you have arranged everything that needs to be arranged, and I will wait for you at the school gate!"
He sent it to Cao Yuanyuan.
Soon, Cao Yuanyuan responded.
"Thank you, boss, for turning over the cards. Can I have a drink?"
"Can."
Li Yuan shook his head.
Maybe some things are destined by nature. He is not a normal man, so naturally it is difficult to meet a normal girl.
But it was satisfying enough to please him, and he didn't need true feelings.
Li Yuan called Boss Hu, and then the two met in Boss Hu's office.
Hu Weizong was still surprised to receive a call from Li Yuan.
Since the last incident with Tianqi Shares, he had paid attention to Li Yuan.
As a result, this attention shocked him.
Li Yuan went from an unknown young man to a capital tycoon in just a few months.
Perhaps compared to the whole world, it is nothing. Even in the country, regardless of age, it is average.
But in Jiangzhou, he is already the most powerful person.
If you add age, he is the most promising person in the country.
Anyone worth tens of billions would envy him.
Who doesn’t want to make money when they are young in their life?
If you continue to make money when you are old, you will no longer be able to enjoy wealth.
Ask those top rich people, if they were asked to spend hundreds of billions of wealth in exchange for being eighteen years old again, I believe no one would refuse.
So the first time he saw Li Yuan, he was envious, to the core of his being.
This guy is younger than him and richer than him.
"Mr. Li, it has only been a few months since we last said goodbye, but your reputation has already reached this level in Jiangzhou. If I hadn't really been unable to leave, I would not have dared to invite Mr. Li here."
Hu Weizong smiled and went over to shake hands with Li Yuan.
"I'm young, but I just think Boss Hu is complimenting me."
"Haha, I'm so jealous."
Afterwards, the two entered the office.
Although Hu Weizong is worth several hundred million, his life is very ordinary.
After all, he works in a factory, so he can't just sit in the office and drink tea every day.
It’s not like Internet companies direct anything.
Even more, I still talk about projects with others and bargain with others.
After sitting down, Hu Weizong said: "Mr. Li said on the phone that he wanted to discuss the project with me, a big boss. It shocked me at the time. I still don't understand how I am qualified to talk to someone in this industry. When Mr. Li sat down to talk together, there was a gap of several grades."
"Boss Hu, don't put your hat on us. In essence, we in finance are far behind you in industry. Your factory can bring stable happiness to hundreds of families, but we in finance can't recruit many people. , if you are not careful, you will put a burden on society."
Hu Weizong was confused.
Li Yuan's words directly opened up the situation to the sky.
Can you still think about it this way?
In this situation, if you don’t make money, who will?
Anyway, Hu Weizong opened the factory because he was not capable enough. Competition in other industries was fierce, and he could not do well.
The purpose of opening a factory must be to make money, but he is destined not to make much, otherwise no one would work with him.
There is a fart pattern.
"Mr. Li's words make me so ashamed. Please come here in person today, Mr. Li. Later, as long as it's something within your ability, Mr. Li will directly quote the price. I promise not to pay back, and I'll do it for the money."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then I'll thank Boss Hu first."
As for what Hu Weizong said, even ghosts don't believe it.
"Mr. Li is too polite. I wonder why Mr. Li is here today? I manufacture fishing gear and bait here, but recently I also started manufacturing some learning machines."
Li Yuan: "..."
You're a OEM manufacturer of bait, why are you OEMing a learning machine?
Is this reasonable?
"Boss Hu has even got the electronic product business? The threshold for this industry is not low..."
"What's the point of this? Isn't it just assembly? Just find a few people to train and train them. The main reason is that the price of each item is high. You can earn 20 yuan by assembling one. Those fishing gear and bait, you can earn a few cents per bag of bait. money."
It was only after Hu Weizong started an electronics factory that he realized how profitable electronic products were.
Those learning machines are not difficult at all, and their requirements for various accuracy are not high.
I just want to make money by selling learning machines.
The cost of a learning machine was only 80 yuan, so I was willing to pay 20 yuan for the OEM fee.
If you put it on the market, the price will be too high.
Everything related to children is expensive.
Who could imagine that a learning machine with an overall cost of 100 yuan could be sold for thousands?
He even heard that some learning machines in the industry cost only thirty yuan.
After all, they use old-fashioned chips and their functions are not complicated.
He has just started doing it now and has already received orders for hundreds of thousands of units. When he gets an order for one million units, it will exceed his annual profit from bait and fishing gear.
"But I think the prices of bait on the market are not low."
"It's not low. The main reason is that this thing is a niche product. The annual sales are only more than 10 billion. When the factory gets it, it would be good to have 2 billion. There are fifty or sixty OEMs across the country. We It’s pretty good here.”
Li Yuan nodded.
Although you can always see some fishermen around you, in fact, the bait industry has never been considered popular.
There are few places to fish in big cities, and those in the countryside can do it themselves.
For example, the nest material is made of bran soaked in wine, or wheat soaked in wine, and the fishing bait is directly made of earthworms.
In this way, there will be fewer people buying bait.
Most baits on the market start at eight yuan.
Calculated, one bag of bait contains 200 grams of bran.
However, with the rise of self-media, this industry will expand rapidly.
From a market of 10 to 20 billion, it has expanded to a market of 200 billion.
Big cities are the main consumption directions of those baits.
The trend of fishing among all the people has actually begun to become popular.
There are more new black holes than the last.
This industry actually has great potential, otherwise Li Yuan would not have made this trip himself.
Jiangzhou belongs to the south and has a developed water system. It will also be the mainstream battlefield for fishermen in the future.
"Boss Hu, we, Jiutian Media, have signed a contract with a fisherman, do you know?"
"I know, Liu Hao, he will have 10 million fans soon, right?"
Hu Weizong gave a thumbs up, he was really envious.
In fact, his foundries are not as valuable as Liu Hao.
He is also well-informed about the news in the industry and knows that many brands want to invite Liu Hao to come over to help them, and even the promotion fees they offer start at several million.
Some self-media companies also spent tens or even hundreds of millions to poach Liu Hao, but Jiutian Media refused to let him go.
"Yeah, it's almost 10 million. I just want to customize a brand for him, including fishing gear and bait."
"Haha, Mr. Li can take a fancy to this little money?"
"It's not easy to get involved in the financial industry now, so I want to earn some annual subscription fees from Jiutian Media. Boss Hu, I remember you just promised to give me the lowest price. You can't go back on it."
"Of course, no problem. How much goods does Mr. Li need?"
"Let's take a look at the quotation first?"
"It's easy to talk about. I'll go get it for Mr. Li right now."
A few minutes after Hu Weizong left, he came over with a document.
Li Yuan took a look and saw that there were quotes for various fishing gear and bait.
There are five or six levels of fishing rods, and there are more than a dozen bait recipes that can be made, with varying effects.
Li Yuan took one look and frowned.
"Boss Hu, I would like to ask, is this the cost price or the shipping price?"
"Of course it's the shipping price. I don't dare to pretend about the project that Mr. Li wants to do."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Boss Hu, at this price... there should be room below, right?"
Basically, the price quoted for a bag of bait is around 1.5 yuan, which is somewhat inconsistent with Li Yuan's expectations.
However, Hu Weizong's products are comprehensive and the scale is large enough.
I'm afraid it would be difficult to find someone else to manufacture such a complete set of things.
Fishing rods range from fifteen to eighty, with different grades and different prices.
The price is definitely a bit expensive, but Hu Weizong doesn't think he is being taken advantage of.
If the cost price was quoted like this, he would just leave.
There is still room for discussion.
Hu Weizong said helplessly: "Mr. Li, there is really no profit from this. Basically, the profit from a bag of bait is only a few cents. After all, labor costs have become more and more expensive in recent years, and my foundry is about to close down."
"Boss Hu, let's talk about it for less than three dollars a dollar, how about that?"
"Mr. Li, it's not that I, Lao Hu, don't give you face. I'm really going to lose money for one dollar and three."
In Hu Weizong's view, Li Yuan could only customize a few million worth of goods. This batch of goods was too small. If he hadn't wanted to make friends with Li Yuan, this quotation would never have appeared.
He also has a quotation of one yuan and eighty in his hand.
For those brands whose demand is tens of millions a year and are very stable, he will definitely be willing to give a price of one yuan three or even one yuan two.
Li Yuan knows very well that if you look at a dime now, you may earn tens or even hundreds of millions in profits in the future.
Of course, if the operation fails, he will treat it as a failure and sell Liu Hao immediately to regain his health.
"I want the first batch of goods worth 100 million."
When Hu Weizong heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Li told me earlier, I guess I got the wrong quotation. Please wait a moment, I will go and take a look."
This Li Yuan knows how to joke.
100 million, then you are my father, can I still cheat my own father?
Because of the customization, he had to reset some templates and make some equipment changes. If the goods were only a few million, his profit would be only a million, which was not worth the hassle.
But the goods worth 100 million are completely different.
He only sells more than 100 million goods a year. Not counting personnel costs, the profit is about 40 million.
After deducting the personnel and warehousing costs, the profit is only 20 million.
Soon, he brought another quotation.
After handing it to Li Yuan, he said: "This quotation is one yuan and three yuan. There is really no lower quotation. But in terms of bait, I can give Mr. Li another ten cent less. What do you think?"
What OEMs lack most is orders. As for manpower?
Making bait requires a lot of skills, why not just have hands?
"Then it's settled? I'll arrange for Jiutian Media to come over and sign a contract with Boss Hu in the afternoon?"
"No problem, no problem, let's go. I'll treat Mr. Li to a meal. Thank you Mr. Li for taking care of me."
"That would be disrespectful."
Li Yuan thought Hu Weizong was quite good before, and even though he knew he had been cheated, he didn't say anything.
He has a very open mind about the gains and losses of making money.
Today is just a normal cooperation. He doesn't want to know what Hu Weizong's cost price is, as long as it reaches his psychological bottom line.
We ate at a local restaurant together at noon and it tasted quite good.
Hu Weizong was also going to get him some game, but he refused.
You can be morally corrupt, but you can't break the law and commit crimes.
If you must break the law and commit crimes, then do it abroad.
China is his base camp.
No matter what, he would not be reduced to a greedy mouth.
After dinner, he made a phone call to Song Jiajia.
The brand LOGO image designed for Liu Hao has been prepared for a long time.
But when they were on the phone, there was something wrong with Song Jiajia's tone.
"Li Yuan, Liu Hao wants to change jobs, do you know about this?"
Li Yuan: "???"
He dances like crazy.
"Wait a minute, I'll call him and ask."
Li Yuan hung up the call with Song Jiajia and immediately called Liu Hao.
"Mouse, what's wrong? I heard that you want to change jobs? It seems that I, the elder brother, have failed you in some way."
"Brother Yuan, it was Sister Ran who asked me to leave."
"????"
Does Zhou Ranran want to get involved in the company's operations?
