Chapter 765 Huadi's Rapid Expansion Plan

In Shanghai, at the office building of Tongcheng Pharmaceutical Company located in the development zone, CEO Wang Chen, along with several senior executives, warmly welcomed Han Tao, Gu Jia and their group.

The purpose of their coming here this time was very simple. Han Tao intended to acquire a subsidiary of this company, and Tongcheng Pharmaceutical wanted to get rid of this burden, so the two parties hit it off.

Because they had spoken in advance, they got straight to the point after the pleasantries. After nearly two hours of negotiation and research, Han Tao finally successfully acquired this tea-based beverage company for 75 million yuan.

In other words, in addition to the 50 million initial capital agreed upon earlier, Han Tao added nearly 100 million yuan in funds to Gu Jia's Huadi Group.

Han Tao came prepared, so the legal staff he assigned to Huadi Company also came along.

Tongcheng Pharmaceutical was also prepared, and its legal staff were on standby. After the two sides communicated with each other, a contract was quickly drawn up.

After the signing was completed, Mr. Wang of Tongcheng Pharmaceutical sent Han Tao, Gu Jia and others out of the company with a smile on his face.

Qingxin Herbal Tea, owned by Tongcheng Pharmaceutical, has been developing well in the past, with nearly 500 chain stores in Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Two years ago, we built a standardized factory of more than 10,000 square meters and a 2,000 square meter warehousing and logistics distribution center in Shanghai.

Qingxin strictly controls every step from material selection to processing and production to ensure the quality and safety of food. The food is then distributed from the factory to each branch to ensure the quality of its products.

However, the herbal tea market has been very bad in recent years and has been greatly impacted by new beverages.

In addition, the focus of the head office continued to shift, and You set up his own biomedical research laboratory, so funds were stretched, so he decided to get rid of this burden.

However, no suitable company has been found to take over. After all, as a beverage with a long history, herbal tea's main ingredient is Chinese herbal medicine, and its flavors and categories are relatively single.

Compared with modern beverages, the lack of innovation and diversity makes it difficult to attract the interest of young consumers. Coupled with fierce market competition, this has led to a decrease in market demand.

Especially with the impact of coffee culture and the fact that two well-known brands took the lead and turned herbal tea into packaged beverages, traditional stores have even less hope.

But Han Tao is different. He is eyeing Qingxin's store network, which is one of the most important resources for Huadi who has nothing.

Of course, in addition to this refreshing drink, Han Tao has another goal, which is to open a local beverage shop featuring Shanghai-style tea drinks from the old alleys of Shanghai. This company has a very bright future development.

………………

After leaving Tongxing, it was time for dinner. Han Tao did not continue working, but took Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin to eat directly.

At the dinner table, Gu Jia was a little puzzled as to how Han Tao had invested nearly 100 million yuan and acquired a company so easily.

So she hesitated again and again, and asked in confusion: "Han Tao, I still don't understand. Although the main product of Qingxin Drinks has the word "tea" in it, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. Why did you spend so much money to acquire this company?

As far as I know, the overall market situation of herbal tea is not good now, and young people prefer new drinks such as coffee and milk tea.

Even if you plan to develop the company's second direction in this direction, we can build it ourselves, and there is no need to spend such a huge amount of money."

Hearing her question, Han Tao smiled and explained: "Gu Jia, I am not trying to develop the herbal tea project, but I am interested in its network. The more than 500 stores across the country are its value.

Huadi has just started, and we must seize every opportunity to grow and develop, and avoid starting from scratch, which would be a waste of time. So what we want is a complete network and industrial chain of Qingxin... "

The meal lasted for more than an hour. Han Tao explained to Gu Jia his thoughts on Huadi's future development and strategic goals.

When I returned to the company, I learned that all the mid-level, junior and senior managers were in a meeting, so I went to the meeting room as well.

Just arrived at the door, before entering, I saw Liang Hai training a group of people, "We are a startup company, with a lot of work to do, and everything is starting from scratch.

This process may be tiring, but there is no doubt that as long as you can stay, you will be a veteran. So don’t always think about what the company can give you, you should first think about what you can create for the company?
Although Huadi Group is not as good as those mature large companies, you have to look at it from another perspective. Are mature large companies really good?

To be honest, I don’t think so, because large and mature companies are also very competitive, and it is even more difficult to get promotions and salary increases!

Of course, small companies are definitely not an option because the working environment is poor and the income is low, especially in the sales department, which is definitely very difficult to work in.

So what company is the best for us workers? The answer is definitely a strong startup company.

Because at this time the boss is willing to spend money, and although the competition pressure for promotion and financing is not small, it is definitely easy to make money.

Why do I say that? Because even if we can’t make money from outside, we can still make money from the boss. Think about it, am I right? "

Having said this, Liang Hai took a sip of water and waited for everyone to digest what he had just said before continuing:

“I can put this out there. Don’t worry. As long as you have done your best, I won’t blame you if the company doesn’t succeed.

In my opinion, if all our efforts fail, it means our product is not competitive. What do we lose except wasting our time and effort?

Listen to me, sign the contract and work hard. If you do well, we can get promoted and make a lot of money. If you don’t do well, we can only make a small profit at most. As the general manager, I will definitely stand on the same front with you.”

"Mr. Liang is right. I am willing to join the company!"

"Give me a contract, and I'll be willing..."

The atmosphere at the scene was boosted. A few people who were originally hesitant no longer hesitated at this moment. After all, there was no loss in any case.

In fact, there is only this one chance to do this. All things are difficult at the beginning. As long as things run normally, the company will have the initiative in recruiting no matter how senior the management talent is.

It's no longer like it is now, where a general manager needs to spend so much effort to retain some rare talents and quickly build the company framework, using all means.

Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin who came with her at the door of the conference room were stunned and wanted to ask:
"Brother, is this how you recruit people? We are buying tea, not pyramid selling!"

"He can bend and stretch, put down his pride, and use all the tricks. He is truly a talented person!"

Han Tao was also filled with emotion. He did not expect Zheng Qiudong to have brought in such a talented person. He even suspected that he might be their former colleague. He was simply an expert in pyramid schemes.

As the saying goes, those who work with their minds control others, and those who work with their hands are controlled by others. If someone dares to ask for an annual salary of one million, it is obvious that he is capable.

Moreover, this old guy Liang Hai is very cunning and can use his brain. Most importantly, he is open-minded. He can draw a pie in the sky and also make it come true.

Therefore, the general manager of a company, especially the CEO of a startup company, must have strategic planning, leadership, innovation, and financial management capabilities.

You also need to have very good communication (deception) skills, which is the key factor in ensuring the company's success and sustainable development.

First of all, strategic planning ability is one of the core abilities that a company CEO must have, because he needs to have the ability to understand market trends and seize opportunities.

Ability to set a clear development direction for the enterprise and formulate practical strategies to lead the enterprise to stand out from the competition.

Secondly, leadership and communication skills are also crucial, so an excellent general manager must have excellent leadership.

This leadership includes good communication skills, decision-making skills and team building skills, which can constantly inspire the enthusiasm and creativity of employees and lead the team to pursue corporate goals together.

Finally, it is about having the courage to try new things and break through traditions, encouraging employees to come up with new ideas and creativity, and providing support and resources for innovation.
