Chapter 794: The Anchovy Makes Its First Appearance
Just when Chen Shun and Chen Weinan were taken away by the discipline inspection team in despair, thousands of miles away in Sanshan Taoyuan Farm, a signing meeting involving hundreds of millions of dollars was also underway.
There was no grand ceremony, no media cheers, and only less than 10 people from both sides combined, and the spectacle of the signing meeting was a little low-key compared to its actual value.
You must know that in this paper contract, a total of 136.6 kilograms of the best Cordyceps sinensis were involved, and the purchase price of these Cordyceps sinensis was 780,000 yuan per kilogram, which is equivalent to a total transaction amount of 106 million yuan.
And this is not a one-shot deal, the contract also stipulates that in the next three years, Taoyuan Company will provide no less than 200 kilograms of Cordyceps sinensis of at least the same quality every year, and the purchase price will increase by 5% every year.
If calculated according to the total amount of the contract, it has already reached five or six billion Huaxia coins.
It was Lin Zhongming who signed the contract on behalf of Tong Ren Tang, because at Xia Ruofei's insistence, the main body of the contract was Tong Ren Tang Chain Company East China Region.
Tang Weiran, as the representative of the group's leaders, witnessed the signing ceremony.
When Lin Zhongming signed his name, his whole body trembled, this paper contract was like a golden step, and he seemed to see a bright career in the future.
Xia Ruofei's mood is also quite happy, because this signature not only solves the funding gap of 100 million, he does not need to use overseas funds, but also brings more than 6 million additional cash flow to the company, and in the next three years, the company can have an additional revenue of one or two hundred million yuan every year, there is nothing better than this result.
After the negotiation with Chen Shun collapsed, Xia Ruofei did think about cooperating with other traditional Chinese medicine companies, although the process may be a little tortuous, but the quality of this batch of Cordyceps is there, but it is not worried that it will not be sold.
Of course, later Tongrentang Group showed their sincerity, Vice President Tang Weiran personally came to apologize, and also took the initiative to increase the purchase price, Xia Ruofei also pushed the boat and continued to cooperate with Tongrentang.
After all, you have earned your own face, so there is no need to be too pretentious.
What's more, objectively speaking, Tong Ren Tang's channels are still very strong, at least among the Chinese medicine enterprises in the country, they are among the best.
With Xia Ruofei's lazy temperament, he can reduce a little trouble if he can reduce a little trouble, and this result is also something he is happy to see.
Both parties sign, exchange contracts before signing each other, and then shake hands tightly.
Assistant Liu Qian pressed the shutter in time and took a photo for retention.
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Xia!" Lin Zhongming said with some excitement.
Xia Ruofei also smiled and said, "Brother Lin, happy cooperation!"
Tang Weiran also said happily: "Mr. Xia, I will personally follow up on the matter of funds, and I guarantee that the transaction funds will be received within two days!"
Because the transaction amount exceeds the authority of the East China Region, it must be approved by the Tongrentang chain company in Beijing, and the East China Region also needs to mobilize liquidity, which will take time.
However, Tang Weiran personally made the package ticket, so there will naturally be no problem with the funds.
Even if it is an ordinary acquisition contract, Tong Ren Tang rarely delays or even defaults on the debt, after all, the reputation of a century-old enterprise is still very important, but the account period may be relatively long, and the channel is king.
"Then please Mr. Tang!" Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "We are really in a hurry to use this money, and we are really troublesome to you......
"Where, where!" Tang Weiran said, "It is a matter of course to hand over the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other! Mr. Xia can give us three days to raise funds, and he is already very supportive of us!"
Tang Weiran This is purely beautiful words, and he is not buying vegetables on the street, how can he pay money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other?
This is still a pharmaceutical company, if it is a supermarket and other retail channels, they are all transferred in advance, and there will be an account period of three months to half a year after the thing is sold, and even from time to time suppliers will be required to participate in various promotional concessions to pass on the cost of their promotion.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Tang and Brother Lin, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's have a few more drinks at noon, and ...... There's something good for you to taste!"
"Oh?" Tang Weiran's eyes lit up.
The Taoyuan vegetables he tasted last night had already impressed him very much, and the drunken Eight Immortals wine was even more charming.
Tang Weiran couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Xia, what new products does your company have?"
Xia Ruofei smiled mysteriously and said: "You'll know when the time comes! It can be regarded as our upcoming new product!
"Then we have to have a good taste!" Tang Weiran said with great interest, "Mr. Xia is really a good skill! Your company has not been established for a long time, but it is flourishing in the field of agricultural and sideline products, traditional Chinese medicine, and even cosmetics, and every product is eye-catching!"
Tang Weiran has worked in the company for so many years, and his vision is still very unique.
During his two days in Taoyuan Company, he naturally and consciously collected some information about Taoyuan Company.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
Whether it is the increasingly influential Taoyuan vegetables, or the jade skin cream that is popular all over the country, as well as the best abalone, as well as the iron maple bucket and cordyceps sinensis that are more cooperated with Tongrentang, almost every product is a high-quality boutique, and almost every product is the pinnacle of the field.
It's just that some are more niche, and some are more broad-faced, so the social response is different.
Tang Weiran realized that the future development potential of this young company may be very amazing.
And Xia Ruofei is not just a young man with a deep background, he definitely has real skills.
"Mr. Tang is overrated. Xia Ruofei said humbly, "Compared with a giant company like Tongrentang, we can only make a small fuss at most......
Tang Weiran couldn't help but secretly sigh - Xia Ruofei was actually a fairly gentle young man most of the time, and he felt very comfortable when he interacted with him, of course, provided that he didn't become his enemy.
Thinking of Chen Shun and Chen Weinan, Tang Weiran couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, the young man in front of him seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, but he was absolutely ruthless to the enemy, and he would not have the slightest mercy.
Such a person, even if he cannot be a friend, should never go against him.
Of course, it would be better if they could be friends.
Just look at the current Lin Zhongming.
Tang Weiran even envied Lin Zhongming, who was a lot worse than him in the group, to be able to get Xia Ruofei's favor and care, this is really a great luck!
Just when everyone was chatting casually, Tang Weiran's mobile phone vibrate.
Tang Weiran confessed to Xia Ruofei, and then walked outside the conference room with his mobile phone to answer.
After a while, Tang Weiran returned to the conference room.
He said to Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Xia, I just received a call from the group, and I have basically verified the fact that Chen Shun was negligent in this negotiation, and he also explained the facts of asking for kickbacks and accepting commercial bribes from suppliers in the past two years. ”
Tang Weiran paused and continued: "Chen Shun's uncle, Chen Weinan, is also responsible for the main leadership in this incident, and he used his position to facilitate the profit of his relatives and solve the problem of establishment for Chen Shun in violation of regulations. ”
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, your discipline inspection department is very efficient!"
Tang Weiran said: "Mr. Xia, this is originally a matter of making up for the dead, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't cover up the problem of poor management within our group." Here I would like to speak for the group and ......"
"Mr. Tang, it's not a big deal, so you don't have to apologize all the time. Xia Ruofei waved his hand to interrupt Tang Weiran's words and said, "Now we are partners!
"Yes, yes, hand in hand!" Tang Weiran hurriedly said.
A big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, obviously Xia Ruofei was still very satisfied with this result, and the cooperation between Tong Ren Tang and Taoyuan Company was not affected, and he also established some personal friendships with Xia Ruofei, which can be said to have exceeded the task assigned to him by Wei Jianming.
In the atmosphere of great joy, everyone chatted naturally and very warmly.
It wasn't until it was close to lunch time that Liu Qian walked to Xia Ruofei's side and whispered a few words in her ear.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, stood up and said, "Mr. Tang, Brother Lin, the cafeteria is ready, let's go over and continue to talk!"
"Oh, I'm already itching for the new product that Mr. Xia said!" Tang Weiran laughed and stood up and said, "Mr. Xia still sells us guanzi ......"
Everyone laughed cooperatively.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Appropriate suspense is conducive to increasing curiosity, the facts show that I am still very successful in doing this, I believe that everyone will taste more carefully in a while and put forward better opinions for us!"
After a while, Xia Ruofei and his party walked into the staff canteen on the first floor.
Xia Ruofei doesn't like to put up shelves, and he doesn't have to do some things to usher in the people who are sent to the bar, so there is no small private room in the staff canteen, and there are guests who come to eat in the hall, but a round table will be set up in the corner of the canteen, and other employees will also eat in the canteen hall, and everyone is used to this way and does not interfere with each other.
In fact, Xia Ruofei's mood was also a little excited.
Because the suspense he prepared for everyone today is the wild Yangtze River shad.
Anchovy farming has been going on for so long that the first batch of anchovy fry is ready to be sold.
Before this, Xia Ruofei had never tasted the taste of anchovies, but only learned about this endangered legendary delicacy through sources and documents, and the history of being praised by literati and scholars.
Pure wild breeding, simulated wild environment breeding, precious Lingxin flower petal solution culture...... Can the Yangtze River anchovy cultivated under this series of conditions achieve the supreme delicacy described in the literature?
Xia Ruofei didn't have a bottom in his heart.
So before going on sale, Xia Ruofei decided to try it for himself.
It just so happened that Tang Weiran and Lin Zhongming were also there, and Xia Ruofei arranged it yesterday, and planned to let everyone taste it together today.
Moreover, he also called Ling Xiaotian and invited Su Yu, the executive chef of Ling Kee Restaurant Group, early in the morning, and asked him to cook this "king of fish" himself.
Su Yu is Ling Xiaotian's old buddy, he has joined the Lingji Catering Group when it was still a small restaurant, and now he is also a senior executive of the Lingji Catering Group, and he has been given a small amount of group shares, basically no longer participating in the front-line work.
However, he is a native of southern Jiangsu, and he has his own unique experience in cooking saury and anchovy, and he tasted the taste of wild Yangtze anchovy when he was a child, and once learned how to handle Yangtze anchovy from an old local chef, so it is most suitable for him to cook anchovies.
Xia Ruofei beckoned everyone to take a seat.
Tang Weiran found that there were also seat tags on the table, and everyone sat down according to their names. He was placed on Xia Ruofei's right-hand side, and the seat on Xia Ruofei's left-hand side was vacant, followed by Lin Zhongming, Feng Jing, Zheng Xu and others.
Although Tang Weiran was a little strange about the empty seat, he didn't say anything.
After everyone took their seats, Cao Tieshu's daughter-in-law took the restaurant service staff to serve the cold dishes one by one, and the drunken eight immortal wine was also opened and poured into the wine dispenser, with a small pot in front of everyone.
What made everyone feel a little strange was that Xia Ruofei did not greet everyone to pour wine and raise glasses, but instead sat on the seat and chatted without a match.
Even Feng Jing didn't know what kind of medicine Xia Ruofei was selling in his gourd - Xia Ruofei arranged for Su Yu to come over, and he greeted the canteen directly and asked them to fully cooperate, and Feng Jing almost focused all her energy on signing a contract with Tongrentang, and she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to inquire about the canteen.
So Feng Jing also glanced at Xia Ruofei and motioned for him to make an opening statement first.
After all, Xia Ruofei is the master, he didn't speak, everyone was not good at moving chopsticks, wouldn't it be embarrassing to sit like this all the time?
Xia Ruofei just smiled and talked to everyone, but fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long, and soon there were footsteps.
Xia Ruofei turned his head to look at it, and immediately said with a smile: "Uncle Su, come on, come on, I have worked hard for you today!"
Su Yu was wearing a white chef's uniform and a tall chef's hat, and he personally carried a large oval plate and walked over with a smile.
Su Yu said: "Xiao Xia, you are polite to me......! To be able to make Yangtze River anchovy again in my lifetime is a great surprise for me!
Su Yu said as he placed the plate on the empty seat reserved in the middle of the table turntable.
Everyone's eyes fell on the steaming plate......
