The leisurely life of a reborn dad

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

The last time I watched the evening news on Dongshan Provincial Satellite TV 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 way out of the current situation of Xuemeng Food Factory from these policies.

But after the policies came out, Cao Shujie found that Xuemeng Food Factory was already enjoying many clauses, and the clauses he enjoyed were better than these policies.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these policies were introduced to cover those companies with heavy burdens.

That is, the debt ratio of the company is very high, the company has a lot of loans, and the cash flow is very small, and it can't survive.

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

In this case, Cao Shujie can't wait for the government to introduce other policies. He has to find a way out himself.

His wife just mentioned that they could continue to sell goods through live streaming to see if they could open up the market. Cao Shujie felt that with the current size of Taobao Live, this was a bit difficult, but he still had to give it a try.

The current economic situation is a global chess game. Everyone is having a hard time, but they still have to move forward with a heavy burden.

The next day, Cao Shujie came to the company and once again convened a meeting of all department managers of the company.

At the meeting, Cao Shujie had one theme, and all departments collected all kinds of ideas. The result was only one, how to sell the company's goods.

"This is something that involves everyone in the company. Don't think it's only related to the sales department. You have to think about it. If the company's goods can't be sold all the time and there is no capital return, what will the company use to pay you?"

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

He was not joking.

The managers of various departments in the meeting room instantly felt more pressure.

Before this, although there was pressure, the pressure of sales was not transferred to everyone in the factory.

But this time it was different.

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

The meeting didn't last long, only more than half an hour, but the more it was like this, the more everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.

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

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

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

He understood that the last words Cao Shujie said were the final choice made under the last resort.

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

Xuemeng Food Factory has more than 3,000 employees, and no one dares to joke about this.

...

Over at the Qingshi Town Administrative Office Building, the leadership team of Qingshi Town was also meeting. This meeting was directly related to the economic development of Qingshi Town.

Shi Xiangdong, a senior party official in Qingshi Town, and Dong Honghua, the new mayor of Qingshi Town, attended the meeting. At the same time, the heads of other units involved in Qingshi Town also attended the meeting.

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

Shi Xiangdong is a professional, and Dong Honghua is not bad either. It is because of this that they can strive to come to Qingshi Town for gilding.

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

They have real talents. Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua both realized at this time that when the economy is in trouble at a large level, Qingshi Town is also inevitable.

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

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 just happened after the first quarter of the new year and the second quarter has just begun, which makes Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua feel that the burden on their shoulders is heavier.

"What should we do next?" This is the question they are considering.

The two know better than anyone that if Xuemeng Food Factory really has problems, it will be a big problem for Qingshi Town, or even a disaster.

Qingshi Town and its 67 natural villages, workers working in Xuemeng Food Factory can account for 1/3, and the fruits in Qingshi Town are basically sold to Xuemeng Food Factory.

In addition, the main tax revenue of Qingshi Town is contributed by Xuemeng Food Factory. This money ensures that Qingshi Town has sufficient finances and that their wages and bonuses can be paid in time.

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

For Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua, who just arrived, it doesn't matter if any other person or factory has problems, 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 saw through some of the support policies in the news, but they also understood that it was a subsidy for the enterprise itself, not a transformation into the market.

Simply put, no one in the market buys things, no matter how good the subsidies given by the upper level are, no matter how attractive they sound.

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

But stimulating the market is easier said than done.

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

"As far as I know, Xuemeng Food Factory has no loans." Shi Xiangdong said.

Dong Honghua was speechless. He had also visited 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 couldn't think of a better way.

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

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

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

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

Cao Shujie agreed very readily. He also told the two that he was in the company now and asked them to go directly.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Xiangdong said to Dong Honghua: "Let's go. It's a coincidence today. Boss Cao is in the factory."

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

After arriving in Qingshi Town, he always wanted to go to Xuemeng Food Factory, and asked someone to contact Xuemeng Food Factory, but the answer 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 really not simple.

Moreover, the other party had a close relationship with Xiang Yuheng, and his relationship with Wang Qinghui, Guan Guotai and others was also hard to guess.

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

In short, 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.

"The two leaders have come to visit us, and our humble home is honored." Cao Shujie smiled and led them into the factory.

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

Cao Shujie knew that they couldn't solve it even if he said it, 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 were some rumors they heard, and now they were confirmed by Cao Shujie, but they would rather not have heard of it.

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 advancing rapidly, and the annual development speed is beyond 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's mood was very complicated. 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 problems that needed help from the town government, they would go all out.

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

Shi Xiangdong also asked Cao Shujie if the factory's production line was fully operational.

"There has been no reduction in production at present, but if the sales problem is not alleviated in the next step, it is not ruled out that some production will be reduced to reduce inventory." Cao Shujie did not mind letting them know these things.

Hearing Cao Shujie say this, Shi Xiangdong and his friends felt very heavy.

After the three of them went around 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.

The result was not unexpected, because foreign trade has been difficult to do recently, and there have been problems in that area.

Shi Xiangdong felt a little heavy about this result, but he had no choice.

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

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

But Shi Xiangdong asked in confusion: "Boss Cao, I remember that our company has been doing this before?"

"We have always been doing Taobao live broadcast, but now we are going to do more platforms." Cao Shujie said so.

Simply put, each platform has a group of consumers belonging to it.

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 of each platform are different, there are always some overlapping groups between multiple platforms.

This is a last resort.

In fact, Cao Shujie also understands that they have not seen the grand occasion of live streaming with goods later, so naturally they don’t know how big the market is.

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

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

Including but not limited to the policy of price reduction of single products if Xuemeng Food Factory can’t hold on.

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

They are from professional schools. Because of this, they know very well that when companies start price wars, it also means that companies will become more and more difficult.

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

And this is definitely what 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 matter of whether to take this step or not, but the company must survive."

He told the two, "We don't have loans 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 adjustment for nutrient solution.

In general, this area has indeed made up for the market when the sales of preserved fruits and fruit wine were frustrated, filling a gap in the company.

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

Hearing Cao Shujie's statement, Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua were delighted. This was the best news they 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)
