The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Because the company's product market was shrinking, there was a period of time when Cao Shujie couldn't think of a solution, and his mood also fluctuated.

The last time I watched the evening news on Dongshan Provincial Satellite Channel, I suddenly saw Wang Qinghui and others negotiating policies. Cao Shujie originally had high hopes for these policies. He thought that he could find a solution to the current situation of Xuemeng Food Factory from these policies.

But after the policy came out, Cao Shujie discovered that Xuemeng Food Factory was already enjoying many of the terms, and the terms he enjoyed were even better than these policies.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these policies were introduced to provide a safety net for those companies that are burdened too heavily.

In other words, the company's debt ratio is very high, the company has a lot of loans, and very little cash flow, and it can't survive.

From this perspective, Cao Shujie also understood another meaning from these policies, which is to allow most companies to survive as much as possible...

In this situation, Cao Shujie could no longer wait for the government to introduce other policies, he had to find a solution on his own.

His wife just mentioned that they should continue selling goods through live streaming to see if they can open up market channels. Cao Shujie feels that this is a bit difficult given the current size of Taobao Live, but he still wants to give it a try.

Given the current economic situation, the world is like a chessboard, and life is not easy for everyone, but we still have to move forward with heavy burdens.

The next day when he arrived at the company, Cao Shujie once again called a meeting of all department managers of the company.

At the meeting, Cao Shujie talked about one topic and asked all departments to collect various creative ideas. The result was only one: how to sell the company's products.

"This is a matter that concerns everyone in the company. Don't think it's only related to the sales department. Think about it. If the company's products don't sell well and there's no capital inflow, how will the company pay you?"

"To put it bluntly, this is a matter of life and death. I hope everyone here will remember this and understand it," Cao Shujie said seriously.

He wasn't kidding.

The managers of various departments in the conference room suddenly felt greater pressure.

Before this, although there was pressure, the sales pressure was not passed on to everyone in the factory.

But this time it's different.

Cao Shujie asked everyone to think of a solution, and he also wanted to see if there were any better ways from these ideas.

The meeting did not last long, only over half an hour, but the longer it lasted, the more people realized the seriousness of the matter.

When returning to the office, Cao Shujie called Guan Boyong over and told him that he planned to personally go live to sell the goods.

"If it still doesn't work, the next step will be to reduce production and reserve more cash to deal with various unexpected situations," said Cao Shujie.

Guan Boyong opened his mouth but couldn't say anything else.

He understood that what Cao Shujie said at the end was the final choice made when he had no other choice.

But if it really comes to that, it will be a huge pressure for the company.

Xuemeng Food Factory has more than 3000 employees, and no one dares to joke about this.

……

Over in the Qingshi Town administrative office building, the leadership team of Qingshi Town was also holding a meeting. This meeting was directly related to the economic development of Qingshi Town.

Senior Qingshi Town Party official Shi Xiangdong and new Qingshi Town Mayor Dong Honghua both attended the meeting, as did heads of other units involved in Qingshi Town.

At the meeting, Shi Xiangdong proposed how to ensure the stable development of enterprises in Qingshi Town.

Shi Xiangdong is a graduate of a professional school, and Dong Honghua is not bad either. It is because of this that they were able to come to Qingshi Town to gild themselves.

After all, this is a serious deputy-division-level position with real power, which is very different from other deputy-division-level unit leaders.

They themselves have real talents. Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua both realized at this time that when the economy is in trouble on a large scale, Qingshi Town is inevitably going to be in trouble as well.

Moreover, as a benchmark and leading enterprise in Qingshi Town, Xuemeng Food Factory has held a series of meetings recently, and some content was revealed during the meetings.

For example, the sales volume of Xuemeng Food Factory has shown a downward trend, and the market for its products has shrunk.

This situation has occurred just after the first quarter of the year and the second quarter has just begun. This makes Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua feel that the burden on their shoulders is heavier.

"What's the next step?" This is the question they consider.

The two of them knew better than anyone that if something really went wrong with the Xuemeng Food Factory, it would be a huge problem for Qingshi Town, or even a disaster.

Among Qingshi Town and its 67 natural villages, one-third of the workers work at Xuemeng Food Factory, and most of the fruits in Qingshi Town are sold to Xuemeng Food Factory.

In addition, the main tax revenue of Qingshi Town comes from Xuemeng Food Factory. This money ensures the financial abundance of Qingshi Town and also ensures that their salaries and bonuses can be paid on time.

In other words, Cao Shujie is definitely the God of Wealth in Qingshi Town.

For Shi Xiangdong and the newly arrived Dong Honghua, it doesn’t matter if anything happens to any other person or factory, but Cao Shujie and his Xuemeng Food Factory must be safe.

This is the core issue.

After the meeting, everyone else left, leaving only Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua in the meeting room.

At this moment, the two people from different places temporarily put aside their prejudices and expressed their opinions on the next development of Xuemeng Food Factory.

Dong Honghua also told Shi Xiangdong that he had received news from Quancheng that the higher-ups were studying countermeasures.

Then the two talked about the news from Dongshan Provincial TV station. They both had a clear understanding of some of the support policies in the news, but they also understood that it was a subsidy to the enterprises themselves, rather than being transformed into the market.

Simply put, if no one buys things in the market, it will be useless even if the subsidies given by the higher authorities are good or sound attractive.

The most important aspect now is to stimulate the market. As long as the market can be activated, the rest will not be a problem.

But stimulating the market is easier said than done.

Shi Xiangdong also pointed out directly: "Comrade Honghua, those policies are not of much benefit to Xuemeng Food Factory."

"As far as I know, Xuemeng Food Factory did not have any loans," said Shi Xiangdong.

Dong Honghua was speechless. He had been to many units and worked in investment promotion units. He had face-to-face experience with enterprises, but he rarely heard of enterprises like Xuemeng Food Factory.

At this stage, Dong Honghua can't think of a better solution.

After chatting with Shi Xiangdong for a while, Dong Honghua also revealed his desire to visit Xuemeng Food Factory.

Shi Xiangdong thought for a while and said to him, "Let's go together. I just happen to have something to talk to Boss Cao about."

When the two of them went to visit the Xuemeng Food Factory, there was no need to put on airs in advance.

Shi Xiangdong called Cao Shujie directly and asked him if he had time today. He also expressed that he and Dong Honghua wanted to go to Xuemeng Food Factory together.

Cao Shujie agreed very readily. He also told them that he was in the company and asked them to go directly there. After hanging up the phone, Shi Xiangdong said to Dong Honghua: "Let's go. It's a coincidence that Boss Cao is in the factory today."

When Dong Honghua heard Shi Xiangdong say that Cao Shujie was in the factory, he thought it was a coincidence.

After he came to Qingshi Town, he always wanted to visit Xuemeng Food Factory. He also asked someone to contact Xuemeng Food Factory, but the reply he got was that Cao Shujie was not in the factory.

Dong Honghua really didn't think that his face could make Cao Shujie wait for him.

The two got in the car and came to the second factory of Xuemeng Food Factory. As soon as they got off the car, they saw Cao Shujie strolling at the factory gate.

"Boss Cao." Shi Xiangdong shouted.

Dong Honghua also shouted. This was the first time Dong Honghua met Cao Shujie. Seeing Cao Shujie's overly young face, Dong Honghua was also envious.

But he knew that this young-looking man in front of him was no ordinary person.

Moreover, the other party has a close relationship with Xiang Yuheng, and his relationship with Wang Qinghui, Guan Guotai and others is also difficult to understand.

Before coming, he collected a lot of information and also got some fragmentary information from other people. Because of this, Dong Honghua was even more wary of the other party.

All in all, this is a character that is not easy to mess with.

Besides, Dong Honghua felt that he was not good enough in front of Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie saw them coming down and came over to shake hands with them.

"It is an honor to have you, two leaders, here at my humble home." Cao Shujie smiled and led them into the factory.

As they walked and talked, Shi Xiangdong took the initiative to talk about recent economic issues. He also asked Cao Shujie if the factory had any difficulties that needed their help.

Cao Shujie knew that they couldn't solve the problem even if he spoke out, but he still said a few more words, especially when talking about the current predicament of Xuemeng Food Factory. Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua also frowned and thought.

These are some of the rumors they have heard, and now they have been confirmed by Cao Shujie, but they would rather not have heard of them.

This means that Xuemeng Food Factory is indeed in trouble.

Shi Xiangdong thought about the past few years since he came to Qingshi Town from the city. In his impression, Xuemeng Food Factory has been making great strides, and its annual development speed has exceeded his imagination.

But who would have thought that less than half a year after he took over as a senior party official in Qingshi Town, the development of Xuemeng Food Factory slowed down.

At this time, Shi Xiangdong was in a complicated mood. He naturally wanted to help Xuemeng Food Factory solve the problem as soon as possible.

But this step is not so easy to solve.

Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua verbally assured Cao Jie that if there were any issues that required help from the town government, they would do their best.

Cao Shujie understood their concerns. After entering the factory workshop, they looked at the production line together.

Shi Xiangdong also asked Cao Shujie whether the factory's production line was currently operating at full capacity?
"There has been no production cut at the moment, but if the sales problem is not alleviated in the next step, we may cut some production and reduce inventory." Cao Shujie didn't mind letting them know these things.

After hearing what Cao Shujie said, Shi Xiangdong and others felt very heavy.

After the three of them toured the production workshop together, they went to the office building. Shi Xiangdong also specifically asked Cao Shujie how the export sales of fruit wine from Xuemeng Food Factory were going.
The result was not unexpected, as foreign trade has been difficult recently and problems have arisen in that area.

Shi Xiangdong felt heavy-hearted about the result, but there was nothing he could do.

When talking about the next development plan of Xuemeng Food Factory, Cao Shujie also told them about his own plans.

Including Cao Shujie's plan to personally go live to sell goods.

But Shi Xiangdong asked doubtfully: "Boss Cao, I remember our company has been doing this before, right?"

"We have always been doing Taobao live streaming, but now we are preparing to open several more platforms," ​​said Cao Shujie.

Simply put, each platform has its own consumer group.

Cao Shujie’s idea is to make their products appear on various platforms and increase sales as much as possible.

To some extent, this idea is too idealistic. Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua also understand this. Although the groups on each platform are different, there are always some overlapping groups between multiple platforms.

This is a last resort.

In fact, Cao Shujie also understood that they had not seen the later boom of live streaming sales, so naturally they did not understand how big this market was.

Perhaps they still think that live streaming sales is not much different from the current market.

The three of them chatted and came to Cao Shujie's office. He Ruijia came over to make tea for them, and Cao Shujie told them about the next series of response policies of Xuemeng Food Factory.

This includes but is not limited to the policy of reducing prices of individual products if Xuemeng Food Factory can no longer hold on.

When they heard this, Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua were both a little confused.

They are professionals, and because of this, they know very well that when companies start price wars, it also means that things will become increasingly difficult for the business.

It is very likely to be dragged into the quagmire at any time.

This is definitely something they don't want to see.

Shi Xiangdong pondered for a while and asked, "Do we have to take this step?"

Cao Shujie smiled and poured tea for the two. He said, "It's not a question of whether to take this step or not, but the company must survive."

He told them: "We don't have any loans right now, which is actually better than most companies, but we must first ensure the recycling of funds."

Leaving aside the matter of preserved fruits and fruit wine, Shi Xiangdong also asked Cao Shujie about the sales of nutrient solution.

Speaking of this, Cao Shujie also told them about the company's next sales adjustments for nutrient solution.

Overall, this segment has indeed filled the market gap when the sales of preserved fruits and fruit wine were hit, and filled a gap in the company.

"If it weren't for this product, our sales this year would not be guaranteed," said Cao Shujie.

After hearing what Cao Shujie said, Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua were delighted. This was the best news they had heard today.

Dong Honghua also said that he had communicated with other companies before, and he would help contact some companies as soon as possible to see if he could bring third-party business to Xuemeng Food Factory.

Regardless of whether he could complete it or not, Cao Shujie expressed his gratitude to him.

Dong Honghua was so enthusiastic when they met for the first time, which made Cao Shujie have a much better impression of him.

He thought this person was not bad. (End of this chapter)
