Chapter 383 Ask the beautiful county magistrate(1/2)
"Yeah!" Ling Qingxue couldn't help but cheer.
Although Ling Qingxue does not know much about politics, she does not need to understand politics at all. Even an old rural farmer is very clear about what Mr. Song’s handwritten title means.
Even Wu Liqian couldn't help but show an excited expression. She was happy for Xia Rufei from the bottom of her heart.
Xia Rufei naturally couldn't help but feel joy in his heart. He quickly picked up the phone on the desk and dialed it out in front of Ling Qingxue and Wu Liqian.
"Little Pang! How are you moving the things on your finances?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Pang Hao has always been working temporarily in a guest room on the first floor of Xia Rufei's villa. Sometimes he works late and sleeps directly in the office. The conditions are still relatively difficult. This time the new building was completed, and the finances were also a spacious and bright, well-equipped office. Considering that Pang Hao's family lives in the city, Xia Rufei also left him a one-bedroom, one-living single apartment. He can now live on the farm and return to the city on weekends.
Pang Hao said on the phone: "More than half of it! It's mainly some bills. I want to sort out the accounts before moving them, so as not to mess up the past and make it difficult to archive them."
Xia Ruofei said directly: "You move that scanner here first and take it to my office first."
Xia Rufei specially equipped Pang Hao with a scanner because the farm now provides a large amount of Taoyuan vegetables to partner merchants every day. It was settled daily at the beginning. Although it has been changed to weekly settlement, there are still many exchange receipts. Xia Rufei requires that all receipts be scanned and stored into electronic files, so it is more convenient to manage and review, so he specially bought a scanner.
"Okay! I'll come here right now!"
After a while, Pang Hao came to Xia Rufei's office with a scanner panting.
Xia Rufei took the scanner, connected it to the office computer quickly, and then picked up the title of the four words "Taoyuan Farm" and put it into the scanner.
The title of this title is not very big. Xia Rufei scanned it all into the computer in two times, and then quickly spliced the entire title into a complete picture using software.
In fact, there are special calligraphy and painting scanning equipment outside, but Mr. Song’s calligraphy is not big, and it is not a complex Chinese painting. It is very simple to splice it, so Xia Rufei just operated it himself.
Pang Hao asked curiously, "Ruofei, this word looks so good! Who gave you the question?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Don't worry about whoever is asking, anyway, he is a very awesome!"
Then Xia Rufei sent the generated picture files directly to Pang Hao's email address, and then said: "Xiao Pang, I'll give you a temporary task."
"you say."
"I have sent this letter to your email address just now. Now you will go back to the city and find a reliable advertising company to help us make the signature of Taoyuan Farm." Xia Ruofei said, "These four words are hung on the gate of our farm. You can take a few photos at the door later. How to design the advertisement company to come up with a plan? My requirement is to be beautiful and elegant. Of course, the most important thing is that these four words must be copied perfectly and cannot be changed at all."
"I understand!" Pang Hao said immediately, "I have a relative who works in Lido Advertising. I will definitely do this for you!"
"Okay! Then you go now!" Xia Ruofei said, "It doesn't matter if they have more plans to get a little more expensive!"
"Okay!" Pang Hao said, and then he smiled and said, "Ruofei, I'm riding a motorcycle back and forth to waste time, look..."
Xia Ruofei immediately took out the pickup truck key and threw it to Pang Hao, saying, "Be more at ease on the road!"
Pang Hao just got his driver's license recently, and it was the time when he was at the height of his car addiction. He took the key and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Although my buddy is a new driver, his skills are fine!"
After saying that, he ran out happily.
Xia Rufei then said to Ling Qingxue: "Qingxue, Uncle Ling knows a lot of people. I want to ask him to find someone to frame the big characters and hang them in the office."
"Okay! I'll take it back in a while." Ling Qingxue said without hesitation.
"Try to find the best mounting master." Xia Ruofei said, and then added, "You should have a tighter mouth."
This calligraphy is signed and sealed by Mr. Song. Although Xia Rufei has mounted the characters and hanged them in the office after they have mounted them, he doesn't want to be spread during the mounting process, which makes everyone know.
"Well, I remember." Ling Qingxue said obediently, "I will tell my dad."
Xia Rufei nodded, carefully rolled the big characters into the paper box just now, and then put them aside.
As for the "Taoyuan Farm", Xia Rufei naturally would not hang it out, but he was also very caring. He called Lei Hu and asked him to find a few pieces of rice paper, plastic wrap, sealed bags, etc.
Then he lined the letter with blank rice paper on top and bottom, then carefully rolled it up, then wrapped it with plastic wrap, and finally put it in a sealed bag and put it in a safe in a corner of the office.
Many times, framed calligraphy and paintings are even more difficult to preserve. Since this character will not be hung out, Xia Rufei’s current method is the most appropriate method. If it is folded casually, marks will be left or even damaged after a long time. Roll it up with paper, wrap it with plastic wrap and put it in a sealed bag. This character can basically isolate the character from the air to avoid being oxidized over time.
After processing the two words, Xia Rufei smiled and called Wu Liqian and Ling Qingxue to sit down in the reception area of the office, and then made tea for the two beauties by themselves.
Although Xia Rufei's office has just been tidied up, there are all the things that should be available. There are even good tea in the small refrigerator next to the coffee table, black, green, and white tea, which are all prepared in advance by Liang Weimin.
It can also be seen from these details that Liang Weimin is very concerned about Xia Rufei's affairs.
Wu Liqian took a sip with the teacup, then asked: "Xiaoxia, your farm has begun to take shape. Do you have any plans for future development?"
Xia Rufei skillfully poured Ling Qingxue a cup of tea, and then said with a smile: "There are short-term goals. For example, the production capacity of the vegetable greenhouse has not reached saturation yet. I am planning to recruit a new group of workers. In addition to the utilization rate of the farm, there is not high, including a fish pond in the south that has been idle. In addition to the orchards, there are still many places that can be further developed and utilized."
Then Xia Ruofei asked again: "Sister Wu, I wonder if you have any good suggestions?"
Wu Liqian has worked with Tian Huilan for many years and is now the executive deputy county magistrate. Although she has no experience in business, she is very familiar with economic work. Xia Rufei also wants to hear her opinions.
Wu Liqian pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, you just said that you would expand your production capacity and further increase your farm utilization rate are all very good ideas. But I think you can be a little bolder."
"Oh? What do you say?" Xia Ruofei asked with interest.
Wu Liqian did not answer Xia Rufei's question immediately, but asked: "Xiao Xia, the vegetables, fruits and melons produced on your farm should have very good sales, right?"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "At present, there is no need to worry about sales. I have three fixed partners, namely Lingji Catering, Xijiangyue Club and Hengfeng Group in Hong Kong Island. Even if the greenhouse production capacity reaches saturation, my three partners can still eat those output."
Wu Liqian smiled and said, "It's similar to what I expected. So my first suggestion is... to further expand the scale of the farm and build more vegetable greenhouses. I think there are still many lands around your farm that are deserted, and it's useless to keep these lands in the village. You can completely expand the scale of the farm to twice or even triple the current one."
Xia Ruofei hesitated and said, "Continue to expand the size of the farm?"
In fact, Xia Rufei was not very happy to do this. Although the current farm is not large, the benefits created exceed that of many large farms. Moreover, Xia Rufei felt that although the profits of operating ordinary Taoyuan vegetables were quite profitable, it was enough to make most people jealous, but he himself looked down on such a rate of return.
He has the space in hand on the Lingtu, and it is a waste to manage these ordinary vegetables, melons and fruits.
Wu Liqian seemed to see Xia Rufei's thoughts clearly and said with a smile: "Xiaoxia, your Taoyuan vegetables are indeed very well-known now, but you only supply three companies. If you want to eat Taoyuan vegetables, you can only choose Lingji Catering or Xijiangyue Club..."
Speaking of this, Wu Liqian looked at Ling Qingxue and said with a smile: "Qingxue, I'm not saying that your Lingji restaurant is not good!"
Ling Qingxue said with a smile: "Sister Wu, I know. You can continue talking about it!"
Wu Liqian is giving advice for Xia Rufei, so Ling Qingxue will naturally not be unhappy. Besides, the girl is outward. Even if Lingji Catering and Taoyuan Farm have conflicts of interest now, she is probably still on Xia Rufei's side.
Wu Liqian smiled slightly and continued: "Xiaoxia, your products are indeed in short supply now, but your current business model is not very beneficial to further expand your popularity and reaching the reputation of the whole province and even the whole country. You should further expand the supply scope so that consumers can see your Taoyuan vegetables in more restaurants and even supermarkets."
To be fair, Wu Liqian's suggestion is not good for Lingji Catering.
Because the target customers of Xijiangyue Club are upper-class people, Sanshan City is actually almost the monopoly of Taoyuan vegetables facing the general public.
This item alone can bring a large number of consumers to Lingji Catering.
If the supply scope is expanded, this monopoly situation will no longer exist.
After hearing Wu Liqian's words, Xia Rufei felt quite enlightened. He has always adhered to the high-quality route and worked hard to build these ordinary vegetable and fruit markets in the early stage, which is nothing more than gaining popularity for Taoyuan Company. So when Wu Liqian reminded him, he immediately realized the disadvantages of the previous business model.
Nowadays, the wine is so fragrant that it is afraid of the deep alley!
The foundation of Lingji Catering is always in Sanshan City, which radiates to Southeast Province at most, and has little impact across the country.
This is indeed not very beneficial to rapidly expanding the popularity of Taoyuan Company.
However, Xia Ruofei was also a little hesitant, mainly considering the impact of expanding the supply scope on Lingji Catering.
Wu Liqian seemed to guess Xia Rufei's concerns and said with a smile: "I know Lingji Catering is a company of Qingxue's family. Expanding the supply scope will inevitably affect the operation of Lingji Catering, but I think this impact is far from as big as you imagined, and it is still controllable. For example, you can adopt a hierarchical system to give Lingji Catering a more preferential price, and even directly increase the unit price of the new partners. I believe that it has a cost advantage, and Lingji Catering itself is a chain catering company with strong strength. It should not be able to compete with other catering peers, right?"
Wu Liqian then added: "Of course, the short-term impact is naturally inevitable."
Xia Rufei felt more and more reasonable when he heard it.
Ling Qingxue had a little worry at first, but after hearing Wu Liqian's words, this worry had disappeared.
Lingji Catering has come out of the most difficult stage. Now it is a period of development and rising. Not only has it been involved in the hotel industry, it has also begun to open branches in prefecture-level cities, and even the signs of designated reception units of the municipal party committee have been taken down. It is the time to prosper. If the grading system is adopted as Wu Liqian said, even if it is affected in the short term, it will definitely not be damaged.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Sister Wu's words make sense. Otherwise, I would have contacted Director Ruan from Dongkeng Village in the past two days and expand the scope of the farm."
Whether it is adding new land or building greenhouses according to the original standards, it costs a lot of money, but this money does not need to be taken out at all. Besides, Xia Rufei relies on Taoyuan vegetables alone to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. He can completely enclose land first, and then gradually add vegetable greenhouses to expand production capacity step by step.
Wu Liqian said: "I can say hello to you in the town and village, and there should be no resistance."
"Then thank Sister Wu. There will definitely be no problem with you doing it yourself!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, and then said to himself, "Actually, I am just lazy. I think of renegotiating the land lease contract, finding someone to build a greenhouse and recruit new workers... I am almost overwhelmed!"
Wu Liqian smiled and said, "This is the second suggestion I want to give you."
"There is a second suggestion!" Ling Qingxue said with a smile on the side, "Sister Wu, tell me quickly! Ruofei is the kind of person who whips and moves, so he's too lazy!"
Xia Rufei smiled helplessly and said that he was innocent of Ling Qingxue's comment.
Wu Liqian smiled and said, "Qingxue, my second suggestion is to make Xiaoxia easier."
Then Wu Liqian turned to Xia Rufei and said, "Xiao Xia, you should put the company's shelves as soon as possible and leave the management to professional managers. And this is also an inevitable trend. With the development of your company, personnel assessment and recruitment, you need a dedicated person to manage it! You need a human resources department; negotiate contracts with partners, and when there are contract disputes or infringements, you have to sue? You need a legal department, as well as finance, sales, etc. If you have a special manager in charge of every job, and then there are several capable general managers and deputy general managers, you don't have to take care of everything yourself. As a boss, you just need to master the general direction!"
Ling Qingxue agrees very much with this. Her family runs a company and is a large chain catering group, so she naturally has great experience in company management.
However, Ling Qingxue also said hesitantly: "Sister Wu, this will cost much more!"
Wu Liqian smiled and said, "In the early stage, you can set up the shelves first, and you don't even have to rent an office building specifically. It's more than enough to work in this building in advance. In the future, as the company develops, it will not be too much for the expenses."
"Well, it makes sense." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I am very interested in the suggestions that can make me lazy. However... I don't know where to go to find the general manager and the deputy general manager! The financial director can be asked Xiaopang to do it, but the legal department, human resources department, and sales department must have relevant work experience!"
Ling Qingxue said: "Ruofei, there are many headhunting companies now, and you can recruit people through them."
Wu Liqian also nodded and said, "Qingxue is right. It is a good way to pass a headhunting company. In addition... I have a good candidate, who is my college classmate, work experience, qualifications, etc., and she just resigned recently."
Xia Ruofei said hesitantly: "Sister Wu, your classmates should be successful people with successful careers now! Would you like to come to a small company like me?"
"I can help you get along with each other. You can meet each other." Wu Liqian said, "Anyway, she is idle. If I call her, she will definitely come here. As for whether she is willing to stay and work, I don't know."
"Okay! Then please contact Sister Wu. It's best to arrange a meeting in the next few days." Xia Ruofei said, "Please choose the meeting place here! By the way, you can also check the working environment."
Wu Liqian nodded and said, "No problem!"
After saying that, Wu Liqian stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, I should go back too. If I stayed there, it would be annoying..."
