Lu Ming is the leader in clothing in Caozhou, and Li Siwen is the leader in food in Caozhou. The two industries do not have a direct competitive relationship. Theoretically, regardless of personal factors, they should have peacefully coexisted and jointly contributed to the economic development of Caozhou.
Contribution, this is what Sun Luochun considers.
Therefore, in this peace negotiation, not only Lu Shuhang was involved, but also other leaders of Caozhou were involved. At the dinner table, Sun Luochun explained a lot of truths with sincerity.
Li Siwen didn't listen much, but he didn't refuse either. After all, facing many leaders, this face must be given.
However, his attitude towards Lu Ming was still not friendly. On the contrary, the other party changed his normal attitude and shook hands with him to make peace.
At this point, the feud between the two families has come to an end, but for Li Siwen, the Lu family is like a thorn in his heart. Even if he lets it go for the time being, it will be pulled out sooner or later. The reconciliation at this time is just an act to the powerful.
A compromise was made.
"Lu Ming's attitude is still more sincere today. It seems that you really hurt him. This is the first time I have seen him lower his attitude in the past few years." Lu Shuhang said while drinking tea.
"The reconciliation is only temporary. He did this because he couldn't do anything about me. When one day his company becomes completely bigger, he will be the first to step on me." Li Siwen shrugged: "
Of course, I think so too."
"It's really scary to have an opponent like you." Lu Shuhang sighed.
"So, brother and I became friends." Li Siwen said with a smile.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Lu Shuhang suddenly said: "I want to expand the newspaper office, what do you think?"
"This is a good thing! It is best to distribute it nationwide, but the student daily newspaper is too limited in terms of name and status. You simply cannot enter the school market in other provinces and cities, so it still has to be oriented to the society." Li Siwen said.
.
"You mean, start a new newspaper?"
"That's right, but you should know that if you want to build a newspaper with nationwide distribution, you must not only have a large amount of financial support, but also have certain political connections. You know the ropes here better than I do."
"As long as I want to run it, political connections are not a problem." Lu Shuhang muttered, and then asked: "If I start a new newspaper, what do you think it should be called?"
“Just call it Toutiao Daily!”
"Headlines Daily?"
"Yes, I should have told you that the future is the information age and the new media age. Newspapers will eventually become a product of the times. Transformation is an inevitable trend. When that day comes, Toutiao Daily will be renamed Toutiao.
It appears on all computer interfaces in the form of a website and on everyone’s mobile phones.”
"New media? Today's headlines?"
Lu Shuhang touched his chin: "Now that I say it, the name doesn't sound so awkward anymore."
Li Siwen showed a mysterious smile. He was borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. If Lu Shuhang really has the ability to start a media business in the future, the help to him will be unlimited.
"You came up with the name. Can you pay the naming fee?"
Li Siwen was stunned for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter.
"Brother, isn't your reason for blackmail too obvious?"
"It just works."
…
In the days that followed, Xiyou Group completely got rid of its shackles and successfully opened up all markets in Caozhou. Whether it was ham sausages, bread or instant noodles, its sales increased steadily, and its daily net profit increased from about 10,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Ten thousand, fifty thousand, or even higher.
This is not only due to the share and diversification of Westward Journey's products, but more importantly, its efforts in sinking the market.
Such a high income naturally makes some people jealous, but with the lessons learned from the past, who would dare to follow in the same footsteps?
In particular, Caozhou TV Station conducted a comprehensive coverage of Journey to the West under the title "Graveyard of the Ham Empire".
The top product designers, the most advanced equipment, the fastest work efficiency, the most formal production process, and the highest wages are all shocking.
What is even more shocking than this is that when some newspapers reprinted it, they directly compared Li Siwen to a gentle devil, saying that he dealt with people like a bodhisattva and had a kind heart, and that his business methods were as "cruel" as a devil.
Of course, this metaphor may not be appropriate, but in the game in the mall, Li Siwen did leave a psychological shadow like a devil.
After June, the rainy season finally dissipated. The damage in Qilu Province was not serious. Coupled with the assistance from various localities, farmers' food rations were not greatly affected. Some towns and villages began to see a small number of people exchanging food for goods.
Condition.
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 doing this. One reason is that his food reserves have their own use. The second reason is that with Jiang Zhentao's resignation, Liang Station Director Ge Jinshui was also removed from his post, and the new station director established a good relationship with him.
Even if the grain is not used up, it can be resold to the grain station.
After making this decision, Li Siwen arranged for dessert chef Yu Dabao to complete another more difficult task.
At the end of July, exactly two months had passed since the goal set by Li Siwen. Xiyou Group not only reduced its debt ratio to 25%, but also saved nearly one million in available cash on hand. Although this number is not much
, but you must know that two months ago, Westward Journey was a company that could go bankrupt anytime and anywhere.
Nowadays, Westward Journey has not only made a huge profit, but also created nearly 500 jobs, and its scale is still expanding.
"Have all the flyers been distributed?" Li Siwen asked, leaning on his chair.
"It's just about being delivered to every household." Zhang Xiaolong replied with a smile.
Li Siwen also smiled, and then looked at Lin Shudao: "Now that our factory has formed a scale, we can no longer rely on just a few of us to take turns. Next, we have to complete the personnel department, finance department, technology department, equipment department and other departments.
The establishment of the company allows full-time people to do professional work. Some of the specific personnel are selected from factory employees and some are recruited from outside. However, my recruitment requirements only focus on two points, one is ability and the other is character."
"Don't worry, just leave the recruitment to me." Lin Shu said suddenly: "But before recruiting, shouldn't we build a new office building? We can't let these departments work in the factory, right?"
"We not only need to build an office building, but also build employee dormitories, and even solve the employee housing problem. I submitted an application to the higher authorities half a month ago, but the procedures have not been completed."
"Would you like some of this?" Lin Shu rubbed his fingers.
