After several expansions, additional dining buildings were built. There are now a total of 5 insurances on the third floor of the old Fairy Canteen.
Basically, entertaining important guests on weekdays will be done here.
All the guests who were invited here were very excited and honored.
There is no other reason than that not everyone can come to Fairy Company’s private dining room on the third floor.
This is not only the place where Xiao Qi entertains distinguished guests, Li Chaoren, Guo Taiming, Gang Leader Qiao, Li Jianxi... and other powerful people have been here. Yu Chengsheng, Wen Anping, Zhang Zhanzhao and other local officials from Shuchuan have also been here. It is said that last time in Shu
During the Sichuan University earthquake, two giants, No. 1 and Bian LaoDa, also ate here, which greatly improved the reputation of Fairy Canteen.
As a result, Zhou Bo couldn't even bring people here to have dinner with him on weekdays, otherwise he would be said to have lowered the standard of this place.
Over time, the utilization rate here is not high on weekdays.
That is to say, a few vice presidents eat by themselves, or after a certain result is achieved or a certain goal is achieved, the senior management comes here to have a meal.
When Xiao Qi eats alone in the company, the beauties from the Chairman's Secretariat usually help him take it to the office to eat. He only chooses to eat here when he has something to discuss with his subordinates.
Xiao Qi came here today to talk with Qin Yibin.
As Xiaoyao Shopping Mall grows, so does Qin Yibin's power.
As an EO of a subsidiary company, he is the only one who enjoys the treatment of vice president level. Even an old man like Wen Lu, who is also in charge of the Xiaoyao series and has such a heavy responsibility as Xiaoyao Express, can't compete with him.
Comparable.
Because Xiaoyao Express is only slightly profitable now, and the level of this profit is completely incomparable with Fairy Company’s investment in Xiaoyao Express.
What's more, more than half of the profits now come from orders from Xiaoyao Mall, which makes Wen Lu unable to compete with Qin Yibin.
In fact, Xiaoyao Mall's sales in May exceeded 37 billion yuan, more than double the 18 billion yuan in the same period last year!
You can double your sales in a year. Many people can do it.
But to directly double the turnover of 18 billion in one year is not something ordinary people can do.
After all, the amount is too high. It is not a three- to five-billion-dollar business, nor a three- to five-billion-dollar business. How could it be possible to double such a high amount without strong professional knowledge and strong management capabilities?
Therefore, Qin Yibin began to receive a salary according to the vice president's salary at the end of last year, plus bonuses, and no one gossiped.
In a word, Qin Yibin's current status is mostly due to his own efforts.
However, later Qin Yibin donated the 200 million bonus he deserved to the education fund for Mingxiang Primary School and Mingxiang Middle School, which made many people say sourly. Anyway, Mr. Qin has a group dividend, and the company's dividend bonus is used, that is,
Just use it to buy a good reputation.
Of course, many people don't know that Xiao Qi is also involved in many important policies of Xiaoyao Mall, but Qin Yibin knows about it, so he doesn't dare to be proud in front of Xiao Qi.
Apart from anything else, he had thought about Xiao Qi's decision to enter the Indian market for a long time. He found that this was definitely a brilliant move. If done well, it would be equivalent to at least a quarter of China's business.
Forehead.
By then, Xiaoyao Mall will have laid a deep strategic foundation, and future expansion will become easier and more solid.
Thinking of Xiaoyao Mall's dominance in Asia, Qin Yibin felt that he was very motivated and wanted to work all day long.
"How about going to Caiyun?" Xiao Qi asked slowly while eating.
Previously, Xiao Qi met Wang Zongsong, the deputy governor of Caiyun Province, in the palace, and he agreed to Xiaoyao Shopping Mall to go there to investigate and see if there was any possibility of agricultural cooperation.
So in May, Qin Yibin took a group of his subordinates to Caiyun. The inspection group of more than 30 people was busy for more than a week and only came back a few days ago.
Qin Yibin was still so meticulous. He took a sip of soup first and then said: "In terms of life, the geographical environment of Caiyun is very poor, the transportation is very, very inconvenient, and the climate and environment are also diverse. But the climate there is very good.
, precisely because of the poor geographical environment, many places maintain their original ecology, are very beautiful and natural, not to mention polluted, there is no pollution at all!
In addition, they are similar to Myanmar and Vietnam, with plateau monsoon climate and tropical rainforest climate, so growing vegetables and fruits in these places is very good. Not only does it produce high yields in a short time, but also because there is little pollution, the quality is also very good.
Very high. Compared to Malaysia, things from the Philippines are not inferior.”
"If this is the case, why can't their products be sold in Malaysia and the Philippines?" Xiao Qi asked.
"The biggest problem still lies in traffic and transportation." Qin Yibin said, "It is said that the road in Qianzhou is dangerous. In fact, the same is true in Caiyun. Except for those famous big cities, other cities have trains, and many places have buses.
There is no way to get in. You have to rely on bumpy vehicles like tractors to get in. You said that when transporting agricultural and sideline products to a place like this, it was broken due to bumps before reaching the location.
There is another problem, that is, their production is too scattered, and they all use villages as the production model. Not only does this not scale up, but they are also fragmented, and there is no way to promote high-quality fruits, vegetables and other agricultural products on a large scale.
Planting and breeding are naturally inferior to the large-scale agricultural production in Southeast Asia."
Xiao Qi nodded and said, "What do you mean, Caiyun should build a large-scale agricultural base?"
Qin Yibin nodded and shook his head, "We must also invest in large-scale infrastructure construction, especially railways. In this plateau area, railways are much more useful than roads. Highways must also be built to the main roads to ensure that they can be built in the shortest possible time."
time to arrive at the railway platform.”
Xiao Qi burst into laughter, "Just think that I didn't ask this question. Needless to say, the difficulty of the highway is even more difficult than our northwest Sichuan! And if we want to build the railway, the entire Xiaoyao Mall won't be enough!"
Everyone knows that building roads is expensive, but perhaps many people do not care that the construction of railways is actually more expensive than roads.
For example, why was the Qinghai-Tibet Railway only officially opened in 2006? Why is it called the "Heavenly Road"?
Isn’t it because of the various difficulties in construction?
Thinking about China's railway construction, it was very good even before the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it was not until 2006 that the first Qinghai-Tibet Railway was built. On the one hand, the technology is indeed a difficult problem, and on the other hand, there is not so much money.
!
The same is true in Caiyun. Even today, many places in Caiyun are not connected to railways, and the roads are only second- and third-grade with bumpy roads, which are not enough at all.
As for long-distance transportation, railways are the most cost-effective and labor-saving. The trains can be transported along the railways. As long as various shockproof, freezing, and refrigeration equipment are installed in the trains, fresh vegetables from other places can be easily transported.
Inside a big city.
Caiyun is right next to Shuchuan River, so it is not far from the Xiangshui River and northern Hunan. If the railway is built and the highway is connected to the railway platform, then the basic conditions for transportation will be established, and it can be sold on a large scale.
Chucaiyun's local products have increased a lot of income for the people there and enriched the food baskets of people in big cities in several major provinces.
The problem is that the officials of Caiyun Province are not fools. They can definitely see such a simple thing, so why don't they do it?
The reason is also very simple.
No money.
There are more than 30 ethnic minorities in Caiyun, and most of them are so poor that they have nothing left but their crotches. They rely on God for food on weekdays, but they cannot survive in the year of natural disaster.
Therefore, various state subsidies to Caiyun have always been among the top three in the country.
Coupled with Caiyun's own finances, the total should be a lot, but the problem is that if you spread it out like this, there will basically be nothing left over in a year. If the disaster is more serious, I am afraid that you will owe a lot of money.
Tell me, in this situation where food and clothing are barely enough, how can they get the money to feed the two gold-eating beasts of roads and railways?
Needless to say, they enthusiastically invited Fairy Company to invest, and their intention was really to defeat local tyrants.
Your Fairy Company has planted and cultivated so many things here and purchased so many agricultural products. If you want to avoid losing money, you have to sell them quickly.
But you can't sell without roads and railways, so in order to prevent your investment from going to waste, you have to start building roads and railways step by step to help Caiyun complete the infrastructure construction.
All right.
Roads can be built by private individuals and given the right to operate them for decades, but this is absolutely not possible with railways.
However, if Caiyun Province used other things to exchange funds for Fairy Company and used Fairy Company's money to build railways, no one would say that they were wrong, and the capital would definitely turn a blind eye.
But the problem is, Qin Yibin is not stupid at all. He knew what Caiyun Province meant after looking around, so during Caiyun's days, he pretended to inspect everywhere, but in fact he didn't make any substantive promises. Finally, he said
After saying "I will make a decision after reporting to the head office", I returned to Chengdu.
When he returned to Chengdu, Xiao Qi happened to go to Danhuang County in Dunhuang. In addition, Xiaoyao Mall was very busy during this period, so he never had a chance to report.
Now when Xiao Qi asked about it, Qin Yibin just expressed his opinion.
Although he did not say no directly, the few difficulties mentioned were enough to make Xiao Qi think twice. (To be continued)
