At noon, Shen Mingzhu had just finished lunch and was about to play Tetris on the computer to relax for a while when her assistant Xia Wushuang rushed in.
Shen Mingzhu calmly closed the game interface and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you later."
Xia Wushuang took a deep breath and said, "When I was having lunch in the cafeteria at noon, I heard a worker say that Lejia called Lihua and ordered four mooncake production lines!"
Seeing Shen Mingzhu laughing, Xia Wushuang couldn't help but said anxiously: "When Lejia also uses the same new production line next year, won't our factory lose its advantage?"
"It's good that everyone can make money."
Xia Wushuang choked for a long time and couldn't help muttering, "Boss Shen, your attitude is too good."
"Okay, don't get angry yet, take a look at this."
Shen Mingzhu took out a business card holder from her bag, pulled out a white gold-embossed business card and handed it to her assistant.
"Mr. Shen, have you changed your business card?"
When taking the business card, Xia Wushuang was a little puzzled.
There is a business card box on Shen Mingzhu's desk, and the business cards inside are cinnamon-colored.
But soon, she discovered that the white and gold-embossed business card was wrong.
The name and title were fine, but the company name on the business card was another.
"Limei Food Machinery Co., Ltd.? Mr. Shen, what's going on? This person has the same name as you?"
Shen Mingzhu didn't comment, "You might as well make a bolder guess."
Xia Wushuang looked at her for a long time before asking, "Have you started a new company?"
Seeing Shen Mingzhu agree, Xia Wushuang was surprised and delighted, "When did it happen?"
“Early last year.”
Xia Wushuang suddenly thought of something, turned around and ran back to his workstation, and took out the delivery note from when Lihua installed the new production line.
The manufacturer on the delivery note was the Limei Food Machinery Company on the business card! Xia Wushuang looked excited as if he had discovered a new world, "Boss Shen, the manufacturer of the new production line is you?"
Shen Mingzhu explained: "The production line was developed jointly by Lihua and I. I provided the funds and ideas, and Lihua was responsible for the technical development. It took more than a year."
Hearing this, Xia Wushuang's admiration for Shen Mingzhu was as endless as the torrent of a river.
Although the production capacity and efficiency of the new production line were indeed amazing, everyone in the factory, including Xia Wushuang, believed that it was not cost-effective for Shen Mingzhu to introduce a mooncake production line with a short service life.
One production line costs more than 300,000 yuan, and five of them cost 1.7 million yuan. It will take several years of mooncake profits to make back the money.
As a result, these production lines were actually developed by Shen Mingzhu himself?
Selling your own products to your own factory is just like transferring money from one hand to the other!
What Shen Mingzhu didn't tell her assistant was that the automated production line project jointly developed by her and Lihua to form the Limei Food Machinery Company also includes mooncakes, potato chips, spicy strips, soft candies, biscuits, cakes, and more.
At the beginning, she just wanted to improve and optimize the production technology of the food factory, so she sought cooperation with Unilever.
It was not until she discussed patent technology ownership and sales dividends with Lihua that she suddenly realized this was a huge business opportunity.
So we decided to jointly establish Limei Food Machinery Co., Ltd. with Lihua.
She invested 20 million, held a 51% stake, and served as general manager, responsible for operations and marketing.
Lihua is only responsible for research and development, as well as providing technical support and after-sales service, but it holds a 49% stake.
But Lihua is a large company with a deep background and backing, and it is second to none in China in the field of electronic information technology research and development.
If you follow a big brother like this, you will have to eat nine meals in three days.
Very beautiful! ...
After learning that Limei was Shen Mingzhu's industry, Xia Wushuang became proactive in inviting colleagues in the same industry to visit the new production line.
In just one week, more than a dozen food factories came to our door, many of which came from other provinces.
After seeing the production capacity and efficiency of the automated production lines, these peers called the manufacturers for consultation and orders.
For the convenience of management, Shen Mingzhu set up Limei's office in Fengcheng and the factory in Quancheng, with Lihua responsible for production management.
Due to limited energy, Shen Mingzhu could not manage the operations of both the food factory and Limei at the same time, so she hired a vice president for Limei.
The deputy general manager is named Shan Minjing, who was Shen Mingzhu’s MBA classmate when she studied in London.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
The two had a good relationship when they were in London and have kept in touch over the past two or three years.
Shan Minjing was originally an administrative director of a foreign trade group. After returning to China after completing her studies, she was unable to get a promotion due to suppression from her immediate superior.
After Shen Mingzhu learned about this, she decisively poached Shan Minjing with a high salary.
"In the past few days, the company has received inquiries from 29 companies, 6 of which have placed orders. A total of 23 production lines have been sold, with a total sales of 7.36 million yuan and 2.2 million yuan in advance deposits. In addition, among the companies that have not placed orders, more than 10 are very interested in our production lines. I believe that if we work harder, we should be able to get orders."
After Shan Minjing finished her report, her face was flushed with excitement and excitement, "Boss Shen, we got off to a good start!"
Shen Mingzhu was flipping through the report data, and she was in a good mood. "Go back and tell everyone that you have worked hard during this period. This month's performance bonus will be doubled. In addition, the company will pay for everyone in the company to travel to the capital during the National Day holiday. You can bring one family member."
"good!"
"Boss Shen, you are amazing. You made millions just by sitting there. You are like a walking money printing machine!"
As soon as Shan Minjing left, Xia Wushuang couldn't help but flatter her.
When Shan Minjing was reporting on her work, Shen Mingzhu also arranged for her to listen in.
Shen Mingzhu is now focusing her main energy on the food factory, and is unable to spare time for Limei. She can only ask her assistant Xia Wushuang to help with many things.
To this end, Shen Mingzhu asked Shan Minjing to give Xia Wushuang a sinecure as a salesperson in Limei.
In this way, Xia Wushuang can receive two salaries every month, and as Shen Mingzhu just said, the performance bonuses of all Limei employees will be doubled this month.
The corners of Xia Wushuang's mouth were so raised that even AK couldn't suppress them.
Shen Mingzhu glanced at the happy assistant with amusement and said, "Don't spend the money you earn carelessly. Save it well and buy your own house as soon as possible."
Although he felt that he was still young and that getting married and buying a house should be something he would consider in a few years, Xia Wushuang still nodded in agreement.
While Shen Mingzhu was making a fortune from her mooncake production line, Du Juan and her husband's cooperation with Fuwang was also going smoothly.
After half a month of dealings and negotiations, the two parties finally agreed: Fuwang would provide 30 million yuan worth of production equipment, and Du Juan would invest 10 million yuan, and they would jointly build a branch factory in Fengcheng.
Early September.
Mingzhu Food House has successfully installed computers in all its branches across the country, and the store staff have also completed the operational training for the back-end redemption of mooncake vouchers. This year's mooncake pick-up has officially begun. (End of this chapter)
