start with a pet store

Chapter 1027 Secret
Song Weiyuan was not surprised at all to receive his call, and waited for him at the company after agreeing on a time.

Lu Jingxing arrived about ten minutes early. Seeing that Song Weiyuan was free, he went straight into his office.

Song Weiyuan has a large business, but his office has always been in Longan. He said that he likes the slower pace of life in Longan and does not like the overly rushed life in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. He feels particularly good to be in Longan and command the work.

Lu Jingxing knocked twice on the office door.

Song Weiyuan raised his head with a smile on his face: "Come on, come on, come in..." He pressed the phone on the desk: "Send in a cup of coffee."

Then he stood up and pointed to the sofa for Lu Jingxing to sit on.

Lu Jingxing smiled and sat over.

Song Weiyuan’s office is on the 33rd floor. He used to not understand why he chose the 33rd floor for his office. Later, after doing business for a long time, he understood that three is “mi”, which is the same as “mi” and “money”, meaning a lot of money.

Just like some people like eight and some people like four, it's a business man's preference, but he has never felt anything about it. To him, no matter what the number is, it's just a number.

Song Weiyuan's office has a particularly good view. Their building is close to the mother river, and there is no obstruction when standing at the window. When the government sets off fireworks on holidays, his office is a great viewing spot.

Soon, the secretary brought in two cups of coffee, placed one in front of each of them, and said quietly, "Enjoy your meal," and then left.

"Change of secretary?" Lu Jingxing asked, looking at the closed office door.

"Well, the one in front was sent out of town..." Song Weiyuan leaned back on the sofa and said lazily.

Lu Jingxing smiled and took out his plan: "Take a look, I also sent you a copy of it via email, do you think it's possible?"

Song Weiyuan picked it up, flipped through a few pages, and then put it down again. He held his forehead and said, "I've seen your electronic file. It can be done, but I think the scale is still a bit small. What I mean is, if you want to do it, make it bigger. What do you think?"

Lu Jingxing nodded. "I've thought about this, too. However, the pet food market is not saturated, but there are many people doing this, especially in Shandong. We have fewer people doing this here. But if we want to expand, the factory we visited yesterday is big enough, but we may need to add more machines."

"Then go ahead. Don't be afraid of some things. If you think it's feasible, just go for it boldly. Small actions won't lead to anything significant." Song Weiyuan waved his hand and said carelessly.

Lu Jingxing's heart was pounding: We all know that we should be bold, but this requires bold investment...

Song Weiyuan seemed to see through his thoughts: "Don't worry about the money. We can buy shares, attract investors, or even take out loans. There are many ways. The main thing is whether you have enough energy. After all, there is a lot of work to be done in the early stage."

He went on to say, "But this is not a difficult task. Just hire someone. Leave professional matters to professionals. You just need to have a general framework. You don't need to do this kind of thing yourself. It's not like when you open a pet clinic, you have to perform the surgery yourself."

Lu Jingxing also smiled and nodded, he agreed with this statement.

"Actually, I didn't have such a big idea at the beginning. I just thought that the amount of cat food and dog food we need is not small, and this processing plant is just enough for our needs. However, like you said, it is definitely not enough to only produce this one variety. Even if we only supply ourselves, we will feel that it is too single. Therefore, we must have our own R&D team. Of course, they have it now, but it is not enough, and we have to continue to supplement it." Lu Jingxing said this with a confidence on his face that he didn't even realize.

Now he is really confident and sunny, giving people a vibrant feeling, as if as long as he decides to do something, he will succeed.

Song Weiyuan also had the same feeling, so every time Lu Jingxing approached him, he agreed to invest without hesitation.

Of course, it seems that the few times he invested, they were all good, which shows that he has a good vision.

"Then you decide. Leave the funding to me. Once you have made the decision, give me instructions when you need funds and I will ask the finance department to transfer the money to you." Song Weiyuan is now casting a wide net. Although the real estate market is not doing well right now, he is still investing hundreds of millions of dollars.

Lu Jingxing's investment here seems a bit trivial. With a few tens of millions, he can do something big.

Song Weiyuan went to see a master. The master calculated with his fingers and found out that Lu Jingxing was actually more prosperous than him. He was stunned for a long time. The master said frankly that it would be a good idea to cooperate with Lu Jingxing.

He really thought back that after he met Lu Jingxing, his career seemed to be going more and more smoothly, and he was able to do everything with ease, especially in the past two years when the real estate market was sluggish and many buildings became unfinished. He also thought that the hundreds of millions he invested would ruin him, but he didn't expect that the building he invested in would sell surprisingly well in the end.

Therefore, he didn't tell others that in his heart he regarded Lu Jingxing as the God of Wealth. That's why as long as Lu Jingxing sent a message or called him, he would immediately agree to any idea he proposed.

However, he will make money in the end anyway, so why not do it?

Naturally, he would not tell Lu Jingxing directly about these little tricks of his; this was his secret. As the CEO of a company with thousands of employees under him, he actually had such a secret. He sometimes found it funny to think about it.

Sometimes he wanted to try and see if it was really Lu Jingxing who brought him good luck, so he cut off his relationship with him.
But he didn't dare to gamble, for fear that he would end up with a situation where he couldn't recover.

Anyway, cooperating with Lu Jingxing is good, there is no need to take the risk.

As a businessman for a long time, he has become cautious and prudent. Moreover, he has several successful experiences.

Now that he is a director and the largest shareholder of the company, he has absolute say, so he will naturally agree to any request from Lu Jingxing more readily.

Lu Jingxing didn't expect Song Weiyuan to be so straightforward. Although, every time he proposed a plan, he agreed very readily, it still surprised him a little.

Song Weiyuan saw his confusion and laughed: "Okay, don't think about anything else, just do what you want to do. Pets are your specialty, just do it."

"Aren't you afraid that you might not be able to do it?" Lu Jingxing couldn't help but ask. If he went by what he said, he would have known that an imported extruder would cost tens of millions.

"Don't be afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of. Let alone tens of millions, I can even cover you one hundred million..." Song Weiyuan said with a smile.

After returning, Lu Jingxing told Ji Ling about this matter. Ji Ling smiled and said, "Fortunately, you two are both men, and we all know that you two don't have any problems. Otherwise, I would really doubt whether Song Weiyuan has any thoughts about you."

Lu Jingxing laughed out loud after hearing this.

After calming down, Lu Jingxing began to study this matter: "I will also visit a few more large factories. Whether to do it big or small, this direction must be clear. I can't just blindly invest because he said it's okay. Also, if it's going to be big, I have to reconsider the original R&D team members, whether to continue using them or find new ones."

Lu Jingxing told Ji Ling all the things he had thought about on the way back. Because Ji Ling was about to go back to school, she could only occasionally give him some ideas, and most of the decisions had to be made by Lu Jingxing himself.

The next day at noon, before Ji Ling returned to school, the two people from the base came to a store to find Lu Jingxing again.

At that time, Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling were discussing matters about the factory. Seeing him coming, Lu Jingxing winked at Ji Ling, and Ji Ling immediately walked out.

Lu Jingxing calmed the two of them down and asked them about the activities they were talking about without leaving any trace.

Ji Ling quietly ran out and called the coach at the base.

Just when Lu Jingxing felt that he could no longer hold them back and was preparing to say that he would take the two of them to the second store to see Black Tiger and the General, the coach finally came over with the person in charge of the base.

Two policemen also came.

Lu Jingxing thought that if he let them talk face to face, the matter would be clear, but he didn't expect that the two men didn't even know the person in charge of the base.

Finally, the police took them all to the police station.

Lu Jingxing had no choice but to go along as well. The task of sending Ji Ling off was finally given to Situ Fang as he couldn't make it back for the flight at around 3 o'clock.

When Ji Ling left, she didn't hear the details of the situation. Later, Lu Jingxing told her that the two men had only sent the dogs to the base for training. The management of the base was not strict enough, so they bribed someone in the office and found some information. Then, they used this information to steal those dogs that were particularly well-trained and resell them.

That's it, and they haven't even succeeded yet.

Ji Ling was amused when he heard this: "What kind of IQ is this? People would send their pets to the base because they must value them very much. How could they lend them out so easily? I really didn't expect this result."

Lu Jingxing was also helpless: "I thought it was a very thorough plan. After all, they have come to our store at least three times. With this spirit, there is nothing they can't accomplish, right?"

"That's right, it was really stupid. How did you deal with it in the end?" Ji Ling asked with a smile.

"Because their attempt can only be considered an unsuccessful one. After all, they didn't catch a single dog. The police only gave them a verbal warning and asked them to apologize to the base, and then released them. I guess they won't do it again." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

Ji Ling was overjoyed when he heard this. They didn't expect that the matter that had been bothering them for several days would end up like this.

"The problem is that because of this result, I still couldn't send you to the airport." This is what Lu Jingxing cared about.

"Haha, it's okay. I'll wait for you to pick me up next time." Ji Ling laughed nonchalantly.

……

Lu Jingxing worked in the store for two days, then worked overtime for a few days at night. After making up his mind, he called Chai Jianming to come to Long'an.

Before coming, Chai Jianming was unsure whether Lu Jingxing would ask him to take over his factory this time. But when he went back, it was obvious that he was in a much more relaxed mood.

After several days of research, Lu Jingxing decided to take over his company on the condition that he also had to invest a portion of the shares. The main reason was that he was a technical talent and there were two capable people in his team. The reason for the failure in the early stage was mainly because of the shareholders. Now that those shareholders wanted to withdraw their shares, Lu Jingxing asked him to go back and talk to them and let them completely withdraw from the company.

If you want to keep people, you must let them advance and retreat with the company, and the condition for advancement and retreat is to let them buy shares.

It is not realistic to ask Chai Jianming to invest money now, so what they talked about was to let him buy technology shares. After all, the patent is his, so they are tied together.

As for how to negotiate, Lu Jingxing didn't want to get involved. He just wanted the result. The workers could be retained, as could the technical talents as long as he thought they were truly useful. Other personnel, including financial ones, could be recruited later, and those who were related to him through relatives and friends would not be allowed to be used.

Chai Jianming was naturally happy to do so. As long as someone took over, he would be willing to do so even if he had to turn right out of the door. What's more, Lu Jingxing was willing to keep him.

As for those shareholders, the brothers he once valued so much, he had already seen through them a long time ago, and it would be best if they could separate like this.

When he returned, he did not feel the relaxed feeling he had when he had just left Lu Jingxing's office. He stayed in the factory for two days pretending to be serious.

It was not until those brothers lost their patience and came over that he called everyone over and, according to the plan he had made with Lu Jingxing, he told them half-truthfully the plan that Lu Jingxing had mentioned at the time.

Those who were originally brothers but are now only shareholders had long since given up on doing this. They had never held out much hope for Lu Jingxing in the first place, and now they were no longer asking for too much. They just felt that getting whatever money they could back would be enough, and they would be content. In this way, things were done surprisingly smoothly.

After everything was done there, Lu Jingxing quickly signed the contract with Chai Jianming again.

According to what he and Song Weiyuan had discussed, the factory site had to be expanded, so the factory stopped production and carried out the expansion.

He took Chai Jianming to various large factories to visit and study.

Deciding that if he wanted to do it on a large scale, he had to buy large machines, so he hired someone to follow up on the matter and then contacted foreign countries to import the machines.

Restart the R&D department and the advertising department, and then carry out online and offline advertising campaigns.

Lu Jingxing worked non-stop throughout the second half of the year and was too busy to handle everything. Finally, at the end of the year, their own cat food and dog food production base was officially launched.

Originally, they were quite well-known because of Chong Ai You Jia, and with the powerful advertising department, their products became an instant hit once they were launched. The old factory originally had only one production line, but now it has three, and the shipment volume is more than five times the original amount, but they are still in short supply.

This made Song Weiyuan believe once again that as long as Lu Jingxing wanted to do something, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish, and there was no way he wouldn't make money.

He became even more excited about the bird-singing forest.
