Chapter 2398 A Big Opportunity

This "Daming-Australian" style of mixed decoration layout is now quite popular among businessmen in Guangzhou who have contacts with Australians, in order to show that their relationship with Australians is "unusual".But it was the first time for Chuhe to see it, and it was quite fresh.Looking around involuntarily, he said:
"Your layout here is really unique!"

"New society, new atmosphere." Zhang Yu replied, "Chairman, please drink tea." As he spoke, he went to fetch the tea tray of Kung Fu tea.

When Hong Huangnan was doing business in the past, he was contaminated with the habit of drinking Kung Fu tea by Fujian businessmen. In the new time and space, since the "Li Mushan Oolong Tea" was created by the Agricultural Committee, he also restored the Kung Fu tea tea sets one by one.Zhang Yu followed suit and drank this "Australian Kung Fu Tea".

Seeing that Zhang Yu was about to make tea, Chu He waved his hands: "I can't drink this oolong tea. Is there any simpler tea?"

"Yes, yes." Zhang Yu hurriedly said, "There are loose tea and kvass here, which are specially imported from Hainan Island..."

Seeing the lack of interest of the Chief, Zhang Yu suddenly thought of it, and said: "Sir, you can try our new fruit tea. There are two kinds of kumquat lemon and passion fruit. The jam juice is delivered every day. It’s fresh, and many chief executives say it’s good after drinking it.”

Chuhe didn't expect there to be fruit tea here. He was surprised and asked, "Is that so? Yes, you can have a cup of each of the two flavors. Did you make it yourself?"

While ordering the staff to prepare, Zhang Yu said: "The recipe was given by Zhang Xiaoqi, we just follow it--only the jam and ingredients need to be imported from Lingao. Chief Zhang said, wait a few years for this recipe. Once the side farms are established, local food factories can produce their own jams.”

"With this channel, you will have to make a lot of money in the future. Open a fruit tea counter in the store and sell it with your dry snacks. When you become famous in the future, you can even sell them all over the street. The weather in Guangzhou is hot. , served with ice cubes, it’s cool and refreshing, and you still have a lot of money, tsk tsk..."

The idea was that Zhang Xiaoqi came up with it in the first place, otherwise Zhang Xiaoqi would not have given him the formula and asked him to buy the ingredients from special supply channels.But at this moment, Zhang Yu made a "suddenly enlightened" expression, and said with a happy smile: "The chief is right! Why didn't I think of it! This is a good way to make money!" After speaking, he made a gesture of admiration: "No wonder everyone says that chief executives can touch stones into gold!"

This flattery was so good that Chuhe couldn't help but feel "joyful". Although humility is indispensable, the pride in his heart can't help showing.

When Zhang Yu saw it, he felt a little more confident in what to do next.

Seeing the old man drinking fruit tea and leaning on the vine back, Zhang Yu knew that the old man was relaxed physically and mentally, and it was a good time to talk, so he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what your name is, chief?"

"Oh! My surname is Chu, Chuhe."

"It's the head of Chu from afar!" Zhang Yu's heart tightened, because he already knew about Chu He's "deeds" yesterday.

The content he knew was very limited, including "breaking" news such as the Chu River rioting in the city government, but he knew that the old Chu Yuan in front of him was a rising "star" in Guangzhou.Moreover, he knew that Chu Yuan had a close relationship with the newly established "Nanyang Company".

When he came to his small shop, he even "sit down and talk" with himself. Zhang Yu couldn't help tightening his heart-you must know that the time of the elders is very precious, and it is his great benefactor, Yuan Hong. There is nothing important, and I will not sit down with him for a special conversation.This Chu Yuan elder obviously came prepared, could it be that he came to raise shares?

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly hangs.But he didn't dare to reveal the slightest, and hurriedly said:

"Hi Chief Chu, I think your old face is a little strange. Is this your first time in Guangzhou?"

"It's the first time I've come back." Chu He didn't care, "I came here on a business trip, but now it seems that I'm going to be stationed in Guangzhou."

"That must be high promotion." Zhang Yu complimented.

"Where, where, they all serve the Senate and the people." Chu He said, "You are the boss of this note."

"Yes, I am the general manager of Zhangji Food Company." Zhang Yu used this "Australian" name.

"I heard that you are a well-known new enterprise in Guangzhou. I have seen your military rations and snacks in Jeju."

Zhang Yu quickly said: "This is all supported by the Senate. My family was originally just a small shop in Guangzhou City. The business of three or four people can rely on the policy of the Senate today!"

Although Chuhe came here today on a whim, he also had the intention of showing his favor to Hong Huangnan.There is no doubt that this veteran who controls the logistics of the army and is actually in charge of the actual affairs of all the veterans and naturalized people in Guangdong is obviously "specially worthy of friendship."

Nanyang's shares and bonds are equivalent to the "ship tickets" of the new government. Who can get them and how much they get, contains greater benefits than economic benefits. The upstarts supported by the Senate will not understand this truth.Hong Huangnan was not ignorant of the meaning.

But I am a dignified veteran, so I can't open my mouth to sell insurance like I sell insurance.He knocked around and said:
"How is Zhang Ji's revenue?"

Zhang Yu's heart was shocked: It really is so!

Asking about the revenue situation is nothing more than finding out how much financial resources they have so that they can allocate shares.

He didn't dare to make a mistake, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Thanks to Hong Fu of the Senate, the business is quite successful, and the monthly sales are over a thousand. If it wasn't for the plague, the labor and raw materials could not be supplied. Could do more...”

"The sales volume was more than one thousand, and it was over ten thousand that year. This turnover is not small." Chu He has a background in finance, so of course he can hear the meaning of his words: not talking about gross profit, not talking about net profit, just talking about sales Well, it's still an approximate imaginary number, obviously with reservations.

Of course, it's normal to leave some leeway when speaking in front of strangers.To put it bluntly, if he hadn't been a veteran, Zhang Yu would probably only laugh and say a few words: "Business is not bad" and other nonsense.

From this point of view, Zhang Yu is cautious in his actions and words, even if he does not have the usual arrogance of the upstarts, nor does he become confused and open-mouthed when he sees the elders.Chuhe's perception of him has improved a bit.

"Seeing what you mean, I'm afraid there will be difficulties in this business?"

Zhang Yu's heart tensed again, it seemed that he couldn't escape it.The other party's words were mild, and there seemed to be room for negotiation.However, if you lament the Sutra, it is tantamount to a disguised refusal.It is even more inappropriate to let the elders of Chu Yuan come here in good spirits and return in disappointment.

Zhang Yu got up to fill Chuhe with fruit tea, took the opportunity to think about it, and then came back to sit down and said: "Our difficulties are hypocritical compared to those of our peers! One is that there is a shortage of manpower, and it is difficult to find suitable workers. There are fewer qualified managers. It affects production, and many orders cannot be fulfilled, which delays things!"

Chuhe is ready to listen to his talk about how the turnover is difficult and the funds are tight. It is normal for a company like Zhang Ji to have problems with the turnover of funds. Otherwise, what do banks and investors need to do?I didn't expect him to talk about the difficulty in manpower first, there must be a mystery in it.

But since there is "one", there is naturally "two", let's listen to him.

"The second is the turnover of funds. You must have guessed it, sir. A small shop like ours has been appreciated and supported by the Senate by chance. It has given so many orders, and there are great difficulties in the flow of funds. Fortunately, De Long gave the loan, and this business can go on smoothly. This is all thanks to the grace of the Senate."

Zhang Yu was full of the kindness of the Senate, but felt uneasy in his heart.He didn't dare to tell the truth about the current situation of severe shortage of funds and difficulty in turnover, and tried to use soothing words as much as possible.

Chuhe nodded and said: "So your funds are very difficult."

Zhang Yu quickly expressed his opinion: "There is a little difficulty. Zhang Ji's food can only rely on the grace of the Senate. If the Senate has any orders, Zhang Ji will go all out and never say the word 'difficult'."

Chuhe is satisfied with his statement, at least Zhang Yu's attitude is in place.Ability is one thing in everything, but attitude is the most important thing.

Since the other party is so sensible, there is no need for him to speak too clearly.Otherwise, there will be suspicion of price drop.

He said: "Since the launch of the Senate's mainland strategy, great progress has been made in all aspects. The recently launched Nanyang colonization is an important strategic move, and it is a good opportunity for the other side to flex its muscles. We in Australia call it 'outlet'. Such a great opportunity should not be missed.”

"Of course I understand this." Zhang Yu quickly stated, "This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people!" After that, he quickly explained the relevant content in the relevant reports he saw from the weekly report of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, "... ...It is also a rare opportunity for personal development. Participating, we in Australia call it the original stock. This is not such an opportunity anytime and anywhere."

"Yes, yes, I understand!" Zhang Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and patted his chest. "The Senate has delivered a huge wealth to us, and even a fool knows how to pick it. We, Zhang Ji, will definitely go all out to support the colonization of Nanyang."

"Shopkeeper Zhang is indeed a sensible person." Chu He praised, "Yes, yes, you must continue to work hard and actively expand production, and there will be a lot to do in the future!"

Zhang Yudao: "Thank you, Elder Chu Yuan, for your praise. We will continue to work hard and keep up with the pace of the Senate."

Having said that, Chuhe felt that it was almost the same, so he got up and left.Zhang Yu was covered in cold sweat a long time ago, wishing that he would leave quickly and send Elder Chu Yuan downstairs as soon as possible.

When I came downstairs, I saw Pu Zhixian sitting in the store, with many small baskets and boxes piled up in front of him, munching on cookies while pointing to the various products on the shop floor: "This one costs two catties! No less! Everything!"
