Chapter 272 Positioning
Wen Qing asked them to purchase an office building and a warehouse, and Li Zhonghua and Shen Lin did a good job in executing the plan.
They bought offices for the Hubei branch and the three newly established offices, all of which were independent buildings or courtyards. Each branch and office purchased a truck, and the branches were allowed to purchase cars if their financial resources permitted.
Li Zhonghua reported to Wen Qing on the operation of the grain processing plant. The plant was put into production in November last year and has been in operation for less than half a year. It processes 11 tons of rice, 200 tons of wheat and 100 tons of corn every month.
After showing her the processed samples, Wen Qing found that although it was not as good as the carefully processed rice in her previous life, the unique rice fragrance of Northeast rice was very prominent. She thought to herself and said to Li Zhonghua, "I heard that the rice in Wuchang area of Heilongjiang Province is very famous. You should focus on purchasing their rice for processing. It would be best if you can purchase all of it."
Li Zhonghua nodded and said, "I'll make the arrangements. Our company's purchase price is high, and the farms are willing to cooperate with us."
Li Zhonghua was also very smart. When he saw Wen Qing specifically mention Wuchang rice, he immediately remembered it, turned around and found his comrades, and ate all the rice in the Wuchang area. Later, when the farm was reformed, he also contracted the land that produced authentic Wuchang rice, and made Wuchang Daohua Fragrance Rice into the company's highest-end product. This is a later story.
Wen Qing took out the grain processing equipment she bought in the United States and asked Zou Jie to take it to the grain processing plant to replace the current equipment. Although the original equipment was relatively simple, it continued to be used. These equipment were considered to be bought by Wen Qing for the grain company. Shen Lin returned the funds to Wen Qing.
Seeing that China's trade with foreign countries is becoming increasingly frequent, Wen Qing asked Li Zhonghua to apply for import and export rights for Changxia Grain Company to prepare for continued large-scale operations in the future.
Changxia Grain Company is in a period of expansion and needs to continue purchasing fixed assets. After discussion, the four shareholders decided to keep 50% of the profits and only divide up 50% this year, which is 345 million yuan. Li Zhonghua holds 20% of the shares and will get 69 yuan, Zou Jie and Shen Lin hold 10% of the shares and will get 34.5 yuan, and Wen Qing holds 60% of the shares and will get 207 million yuan. The three of them had money now and returned the money they owed to Wen Qing when they bought the shares to her.
Li Zhonghua and others received dividends and paid off their debts in one year. Knowing that they had taken advantage of Wen Qing, they became even more loyal to this boss. Wen Qing also knew that the price at which she transferred her shares was relatively low, but she felt that giving up shares in exchange for everyone working together to make the pie bigger would also be beneficial to her in the long run.
During this time, Liu Honggang also came to see her and showed her the passbook for collecting rent. There was 80 yuan on it, which was the rental income for the past two years. Wen Qing gave him the passbook and said, "Xiao Liu, I have a task for you. Go to Pengcheng right away and help me buy a house there. Find a good location and as large an area as possible. It can be an office building or a shop. You also need to buy a house. If the money is not enough, call me and I will transfer it to you."
Liu Honggang went back and told his father about the business trip to Pengcheng. Liu Quan had worked with Wen Qing for more than ten years and immediately realized that this was an opportunity. He said to his son, "Xiaogang, you should also take a look. If you find a suitable house, buy two for your family."
He owns shares in both a winery and a feed factory and has a high salary. In addition to buying a house for each of his three children, he now has over 100 million yuan in his hands.
Wen Qing finally went to the Blue Sky Housing Development Company. She gave Gu Qicheng, Xie Yang and others the wine she bought in Napa, the famous Work No. 1, one bottle to each of them.
Sun Zhengping and Shui Ya asked her how her study and life were in the United States.
Wen Qing thought for a moment and said, "The living standards of people in the United States are higher than in China. Many families have cars. They are not very particular about food. Most of the time they eat sandwiches, bread, and barbecue. There is nothing delicious, and they dress casually."
She also introduced college life and the wineries in Napa Valley. Everyone listened with great interest. Shui Ya asked, "Sister Wen, is the United States fun?"
Wen Qing also introduced the local shopping malls and national parks, and finally said: "The United States is vast and sparsely populated, with beautiful scenery, but many places are inconvenient to go without a car. It is best to drive yourself. It is very convenient to rent a car there."
Shuiya immediately said that she also wanted to learn how to drive and go out for fun in the future.
Xie Yang transferred the dividends from the previous year to Wen Qing, a total of 420 million yuan. In this way, Wen Qing received more than 1700 million yuan in dividends alone. Together with the income from the orchard and the debts repaid by Li Zhonghua and other three, Wen Qing had almost 2000 million yuan.
The main building of Xicheng Lijing has been completed, the house selling license has been obtained, and we are preparing to choose an auspicious day for the sale. Although the house has been sold, various house purchase procedures still need to be completed.
Wen Qing asked, "Are we going to pay the final payment for the house we bought before?"
Xie Yang said: "If you have money, you can pay now. I will ask the sales department to sign the contract."
Wen Qing: "Thank you, Mr. Xie. The main reason is that I will be gone for several months. I will pay the money first, and it will not affect the subsequent sales work of the shopping center."
Xicheng Lijing is the largest real estate project in this area. Someone has already found a way to buy it. Xie Yang is in no hurry to sell it. He will wait until the surrounding environment is ready. By then, a modern shopping mall will have sprung up and it will surely become a landmark building in Xicheng. If he sells it then, the price will surely be higher.
Gu Qicheng's family has already started decorating the hotel. They hired a foreign hotel management company and a team of designers to carry out the interior decoration in accordance with the standards of foreign five-star hotels and jointly operate the hotel.
The shopping mall in Shuiya's home has also begun to be renovated. Her uncle runs a department store in Gaul. Her grandfather wrote to her uncle about the idea of opening a shopping mall and suggested that they return to China to run the business. With the help of her uncle, several famous brands in Gaul have agreed to set up counters in Xicheng Lijing Shopping Mall. This is also the first stop for these brands to enter China. Shuiya is now the most promising girl of her generation in the family, and the elders already treat her like a boy.
Sun Zhengping's family sent his brother to Gangcheng to inspect the decoration and operation of local dance halls and bars. His brother might be responsible for this dance hall in the future. There are no similar entertainment venues in Beijing now. His grandfather said that they can refer to Gangcheng, but it must not be colorful or high-end, and it must be a place for ordinary people to entertain.
This was also what Xie Yang meant when he communicated with Sun Zhengping in private. Their Xicheng Lijing was positioned as a mid-to-high-end shopping center with hotels and office buildings. They couldn't set up a smoky underground dance hall. They couldn't make money from that. Sun Zhengping reported his idea to the elders in his family, and everyone agreed with it, so their positioning was legitimate entertainment and leisure.
Wen Qing was not in a hurry to renovate her own office floor. She had to wait until everyone else started renovating and the shopping mall opened. When the environment was ripe, she would start renting it out. Whoever rented it would do the renovation. The most she could offer was a discount on the rent.
