When Lian Qijian went to see Zhao Yonghe, Cao Shujie was busy buying food and fun things for his daughter.

After walking around, Cao Shujie bought some handicrafts and a lot of food.

When Xiang Zhengyan returned to the hotel with his things, he was envious from the bottom of his heart when he saw it.

The boss's daughter is still very young, and the boss loves her very much.

But his son was already in junior high school, and there was little communication between the father and son. Whenever something happened, the father and son would quarrel like a prelude to a fight.

Or his son hides in his room playing games and doesn't like to study.

Xiang Zhengyan was very angry when he saw it, unlike his boss Cao Shujie who was so immersed in it and enviable.

"Lao Xiang, you're not busy today, why don't you go out for a walk?" Cao Shujie asked him after he came back.

Xiang Zhengyan didn't know where to start with this. He finally sighed and talked about his bitter tears.

After hearing this, Cao Shujie smiled and told him: "Children, you should stay with them more, especially boys. Take him around more, exercise, play ball, and play with him. If you don't stay with him, he won't look for you."

You, as time goes by, the relationship between your father and son becomes more and more distant."

Cao Shujie seemed to understand very well.

But what he said is indeed right.

Xiang Zhengyan said: "I will try again after I go back."

From the bottom of his heart, he still wanted to fight for it.

Cao Shujie pointed to the things he bought and asked Xiang Zhengyan: "Lao Xiang, I bought this for my child. See what your son likes to eat and take some back."

"No, no, boss, I'll just go and buy it." Xiang Zhengyan didn't dare to ask for it.

But Cao Shujie is enthusiastic: "Hurry up and pick them up, it's a big deal."

Xiang Zhengyan got to know Cao Shujie again. He looked at Cao Shujie in a daze and didn't know how to answer the question.

Cao Shujie went to pick it up himself: "I have raisins, amber walnuts, red dates, and a piece of jade I bought for my daughter. I can't give this to you..."

Cao Shujie was chanting, Xiang Zhengyan was listening behind him, and felt a little moved in his heart.

In the end, Xiang Zhengyan didn't take anything. He went out to buy some and planned to take them home.

When Song Baoming and Lian Qijian returned, it was only after 4 p.m. and it was still bright.

Lian Qijian told Cao Shujie about his meeting with Zhao Yonghe. At this time, Cao Shujie suddenly discovered that Lian Qijian had grown up.

Became more calm.

"Brother, work hard and study hard!" Cao Shujie patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more.

But Lian Qijian knew that Cao Shujie really valued him.

…

After breakfast on the second day, Cao Shujie and the four of them followed Adilijiang to meet five people.

In Adilijiang's words, these five people are also apple growers in the Changji Apple Base. Although the scale of planting alone is not as large as his, the combined volume of the five people is much larger than his.

According to reports, they grew the same variety of apples as Adilijiang, and they could produce more than 2,000 tons in total. Cao Shujie was overjoyed.

However, these five people asked for a relatively high price for apples, with the price not less than 6.8 yuan per kilogram. Cao Shujie also quoted 6.6 yuan per kilogram to them, but neither party reached an agreement.

The main reason is that the other party insists on the price of 6.8 yuan per kilogram and even wants to bid higher, but Cao Shujie will not wait for them.

Adilijiang was a little apologetic to Cao Shujie. He didn't expect that a few friends he introduced would raise the price so high.

Cao Shujie didn't care very much. It was normal to buy and sell freely.

They make a living by growing apples. The purpose of large-scale apple growing is to make money. Who doesn’t want to earn more at this time?

In the next few days, Cao Shujie met again with the fruit farmers introduced by Nalati, Tuohati, and Abdulla.

After seeing this wave, Cao Shujie calculated that if all the apples grown by the 17 fruit farmers introduced by four people were added up, there would be about 8,000 tons. This number made Cao Shujie very happy.

There are indeed a lot of apples grown by individuals here.

But the problem all lies in the price.

Three of the fruit farmers agreed with Cao Shujie's price of 6.66 yuan per kilogram, which was the same as Adilijiang's purchase price. The other 14 farmers disagreed and they all wanted to get a higher price.

The main reason is that the price of Xinjiang apples is rising steadily in the current market. They believe that the price of apples will increase in the next step. With such high expectations, there is no reason to sell them at a low price.

But the price was too high, and Cao Shujie would not accept it.

Considering that it had been a week since he came out this time, Cao Jianlong of Caojiazhuang also called him and said that he had contacted two cattle dealers and wanted to ask when they would be free to discuss the price.

Cao Shujie decided to go back. Before leaving, they went to the Changji Apple Base again. Many fruit growers were waiting for a price. This time, Cao Shujie gave up on buying apples.

Adilijiang's more than 5,000 tons of apples, plus more than 1,000 tons of apples from three other fruit farmers, together are enough for Xuemeng Food Factory to consume for 3 to 4 months.

We will look at the market situation later.

Xiang Zhengyan also felt that the burden on him suddenly increased. He thought that after returning from this trip, he must first communicate with Tang Jingsong to study the impact of the apple preserved formula on the preserved apples made from different varieties of apples in different regions.

If possible, reformulate the formula according to different varieties of apples in different regions. In the long run, this is the core of cost control.

This allows their company to not be dominated by raw materials.

As for the follow-up of the apples here, Xiang Zhengyan has not left yet. He will continue to stay here for one to two weeks and watch the apples being weighed and shipped before he goes back.

They came out on October 11th, and Cao Shujie, Song Baoming and Lian Qijian went back first on October 19th.

Before leaving, Cao Shujie told Xiang Zhengyan that he must do a good job in the follow-up work here.

At the same time, Cao Shujie is also considering learning from Jiajiayue Supermarket and Wal-Mart Supermarket to establish a systematic and complete purchasing system.

In this area, because Xuemeng Food Factory is a new factory, it started late and is imperfect in all aspects.

Especially in the later period, as the third plant of Xuemeng Food Factory is put into production and the second phase project is put into production, the factory will need to purchase more raw materials and purchase more varieties. It will not be like now, only the purchasing department will

Just a few people can make it work.

Thinking about this matter in his mind, Cao Shujie was also thinking that when Xiang Zhengyan came back from working on this batch of apples, he would sit down with Wang Zhifeng and Xiang Zhengyan to discuss this issue.

Even not just the purchasing department, other departments of the company also need to be further improved.

Especially as the factory's sales increased significantly in a short period of time and its scale expanded rapidly, many aspects could not keep up with the current speed of development, and more and more problems were exposed. Cao Shujie realized that their company's organization

The architecture is not complete enough.

To put it bluntly, the personnel arrangement is not adequate and reasonable enough.

On the plane, listening to the rumbling sound coming from outside did not affect Cao Shujie's thinking about the problem at all, and as time passed, Cao Shujie's consideration of all aspects of the problem became more perfect.

During this period of time, the company has been immersed in a cycle of increasing production, increasing sales, and expanding scale. He has not really settled down to think about the current problems the company is facing, as well as the company's own weaknesses.

The four hours Cao Shujie spent on the plane made him think of many questions.

…

After coming out of Quancheng Airport, Song Baoming drove the car out of the airport parking lot. Seeing that the car was covered with a layer of dust, Cao Shujie smiled and said he would wash the car first when he got back.

Really too dirty.

It was already past 5 pm when we returned to Xuemeng Food Factory in Qingshi Town.

The employees who work the day shift have already finished get off work, and the administrative staff are also leaving.

Suddenly I saw my boss's car appearing in the company. These people were still standing there in a daze. They didn't want to leave or stay.

The boss who disappeared for a week is back.

Most people don't know what the boss is busy with during this time.

But that variety show called "Running Brothers" is really good, and the products produced by their factory are actually sponsors of that show.

Seeing the stars on the show eating their company's Aimeng preserved fruit, the employees of Xuemeng Food Factory also felt a sense of pride in their hearts.

Several department managers in the factory have not left. They have become accustomed to leaving at the end. Before leaving, they will check to see if there are any abnormalities in the factory.

Shi Jingxiu had just returned from the workshop. When she saw the boss's car stopped and Cao Shujie got out of the car, she was also surprised. The boss didn't say he would be back today.

But this did not prevent her from walking directly towards Cao Shujie.

"Boss!" Shi Jingxiu greeted as he walked up.

"Manager Shi, it's time to get off work, and you haven't left yet!" Cao Shujie asked her.

Shi Jingxiu said: "I just came out of the workshop and I'm going back to the office to write a report."

"It's not too late to write tomorrow. How are sales during this period?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Shi Jingxiu told Cao Shujie about the sales changes of their company's products after the two consecutive episodes of "Running Brothers" were broadcast.

In fact, the current sales growth is not obvious, which is normal.

"Running Brothers" has just finished its second episode. There are still many people who have not noticed this program, including the title advertisements and sponsorship advertisements in the program, which are also fermenting along with the program.

With this accumulation, there will definitely be gratifying changes later on.

Cao Shujie nodded, chatted with Shi Jingxiu until 6 o'clock, and asked her to go home from get off work first.

Before leaving, Shi Jingxiu told Cao Shujie that the equipment at the third factory was in the final stage of installation.
