I am farming in the real world

Chapter 52: Minghua Shipyard

After having lunch with his buddies and inspecting Chen Ji No. 1 store, Chen Jue took a newly acquired Trumpchi M8 to the Ou Shang Building in Louqiao, Ouhai District.

Previously, while having the iron golems busy developing the ecological chicken farm in Pingtou Village, Chen Jue took the time to rent an 880-square-meter office in this novel Grade A office building for 30,000 yuan per month, with a deposit of six months, to serve as the operation and office area for 'Chen Ji Catering Co., Ltd.'

The reason for choosing this building is not only its close proximity to the vegetable basket and Wanqiang Logistics Park's warehouse.

It is also because this place is close to the Wenzhou South Railway Station. A taxi ride can get you to the high-speed rail or bullet train within 10 minutes, which is convenient for employees to travel to other places to expand the chain business in the future.

"Good afternoon, President Chen!"

Seeing Chen Jue, the boss, come in with the driver, the two beautiful young ladies at the front desk wearing Chen Ji uniforms immediately showed professional smiles.

"Where is your supervisor?"

Chen Jue lingered at the front desk for a while, picking up a preserved tangerine peel candy from the tray and throwing it into his mouth.

"Supervisor Li should be in the conference room at this time, busy training the new employees." The front desk girl pointed to the depths of the office.

Chen Jue nodded and sneaked to the conference room to take a look through the frosted glass.

I saw a young man in his twenties standing on the podium, talking eloquently with a microphone, brainwashing and training a dozen or so employees of about the same age.

As for the content of his explanation, the store monitoring screen after the opening of Chen Ji No. 1 store in the morning and the sales report from the No. 1 store work group were being played on the projection screen.

Seeing those young people sitting below with a bit of greenness on their faces listening very attentively, and taking notes seriously from time to time, Chen Jue nodded with satisfaction: "Fortunately, Li Fei was poached over. He is indeed good at business training."

The business supervisor speaking on the stage is Chen Jue's cousin. He was very smart when he was in school. He ran a small shop in the boys' dormitory and was the chairman of the student union.

After graduating from university, he started his own Weishang business selling cosmetics. After working hard in Wenzhou for a few years, he made some money.

It just so happened that Chen Jue was recently building on a large scale in Pingtou Village, investing heavily in the chicken farming business.

Li Fei's father, who is also Chen Jue's uncle, recommended him. He said that Li Fei should follow his cousin and seek a long-term future.

After all, Weishang was very popular a few years ago, but after the epidemic, it has become a declining red sea track, and like e-commerce, the head is firmly controlled by various capitals. The entire Weishang industry's routines have been exhausted, and some small sellers like Li Fei have not been doing well in the past two years.

So Chen Jue had a long conversation with his cousin and let him taste the amazing taste of MC roasted chicken.

This taste immediately made Li Fei realize the future development prospects of Chen Ji's secret roasted chicken.

So Li Fei threw away those Weishang goods at hand and joined Chen Ji Catering Company as a business supervisor, and brought out his persuasive marketing skills from doing Weishang.

What is the core of Weishang?

That is to rely on a silver tongue to constantly develop downlines and agents in the circle of friends to achieve accurate and low-cost customer acquisition.

Unexpectedly, this set of effects is surprisingly good!

These newly recruited college graduates, seeing Li Fei talking eloquently on the stage, coupled with the grand opening of Chen Ji No. 1 store as a background display board, were basically easily taken down.

… …

"Cousin!"

"Our Chen Ji's roasted chicken is about to become popular in Wenzhou's circle of friends!" After the induction training ended, Li Fei came to the general manager's office with a thick notebook and a look of excitement.

Selling out two thousand roasted chickens in just half a day, with a single store's daily turnover exceeding three hundred thousand, such an exaggerated revenue capacity still gave him, a small Weishang who hadn't been doing well in the past, a great shock.

If this kind of record is placed in the Weishang circle, what 'a single mother staying at home with a child cannot go to work normally, investing 50,000 to join a street snack shop and getting a Maserati in less than a week' 'Xiao Zhang, who screwed on screws in the factory, resigned and bought a house in half a year by selling roasted chickens directly supplied by the factory' 'A small unemployed couple earns millions a year by selling roasted chickens at a stall' and other headline party success articles will definitely explode in the circle of friends.

Anyway, the more attractive the title is, and then put on the video of the grand opening of Chen Ji, it can attract countless speculators who fantasize about getting rich overnight in minutes.

Of course, Chen Jue had also expected Li Fei's mention of Chen Ji's popularity in the circle of friends.

The owners living in the Binjiang Road area are the richest people in Wenzhou.

And what is missing in the circle of friends of rich people is the ordinary people who envy them for showing off their wealthy lives at will.

Just like those anchors on Douyin who like to show off their wealth, casually sending a daily vlog can have countless netizens like and comment.

In order to buy Chen Ji's secret roasted chicken, these wealthy owners queued up in the scorching sun early in the morning.

After buying the roasted chicken, they casually sent it to their circle of friends. The likes alone can probably gather a full screen in minutes, and the number of people replying to ask about Chen Ji's roasted chicken is even more numerous.

Ordinary people cannot live the wealthy lives of these Binjiang Road owners, but they can still afford to taste the same 188 roasted chicken as the rich.

Under such viral marketing from the top of the pyramid downwards, Chen Jue can even predict that after Chen Ji No. 1 store opens for a while, the name 'Chen Ji' can probably explode on Douyin and WeChat groups throughout Wenzhou.

Just like when Heytea came to Wenzhou to open its first store, it made all the young people in Wenzhou queue up to try it, and just scanning the code to get a number could take several hours to get a cup of milk tea.

… …

"Our Chen Ji's manpower is still too short. We must hurry up to recruit reserve talents for the new store."

"You should also try to contact more employment office teachers in schools to see how many younger brothers and sisters have not found jobs. As long as the major is right, try to recruit them all."

In the early stage of the new company's establishment, there was a shortage of manpower. In addition to finance, accounting, and personnel positions, Chen Jue hired experienced veterans in the workplace through his circle of friends.

The rest Chen Jue asked Li Fei to contact various universities and vocational colleges in Wenzhou, and recruited dozens of recent graduates who had just entered society with the excuse of high-paying jobs in physical stores.

The employees in Chen Ji No. 1 store, except for Zhao Xiaoguang's three high school graduates who worked part-time, are all young people from junior colleges and vocational high schools.

Because young people have good images and work faster, which is more in line with Chen Jue's expected setting for the 'Chen Ji' youthful brand.

As for the operation of Chen Ji Company, it is necessary to strengthen and supplement the market development manpower for subsequent brand chains.

After seeing the success of No. 1 store, Chen Jue plans to seize the next step is to open branch stores one after another throughout Wenzhou, and then go out of Wenzhou and spread to the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

"Got it, cousin, I will try my best to contact them."

"I'll bring some roasted chicken when I visit, and I guarantee I can take it down easily!" Li Fei was a little eager to try.

Because Chen Jue had previously promised that once Chen Ji's chain scale was on the right track, he would be promoted to vice president in charge of business to coordinate the overall situation.

Thinking that he was about to reach the peak of his career with his cousin, Li Fei's work enthusiasm was as active as if he had been wound up.

After all, he had done Weishang, so how could he not learn to give himself a boost?

… …

After inspecting the internal situation of Chen Ji Company and explaining some work, Chen Jue took the car non-stop to Gexiang Binhai Industrial Park in Ruian County.

This place is located at the estuary of the Feiyun River in Ruian County. It is a remote industrial park that has been built for nearly 20 years but has not been able to truly develop.

Zheng Bocheng's Zhongbo Machinery's intelligent control equipment town scenic spot is separated from this Binhai Industrial Park by a river. Standing on the shore and looking across the river, you can also see the thriving leading enterprises in Ruian County on the opposite bank.

On the other hand, although the Binhai Industrial Park has a large area and many newly built factory buildings are well-organized, there are few trucks running on the roads in the park, which seems very deserted.

Across a river, the development on both sides is like heaven and earth, which made Chen Jue, sitting in the car and looking at the park environment, couldn't help but sigh.

It was not until the vehicle drove to the edge of the park near the tidal flats that Chen Jue put away his divergent thoughts, looked at the Minghua Shipyard that he had contacted before, and let Tie Yi drive the business car directly into it.

"Boss!"

Dog-headed strategist Chen Shang emerged from this deserted factory building, followed by a middle-aged man with a somewhat depressed look.

"Have the contracts been negotiated?" Chen Jue asked after getting out of the car.

Chen Shang nodded: "It's all negotiated, boss. This is Ji Yijiang, the owner of Minghua Shipyard, President Ji! The total price of the factory area including the mechanical processing equipment inside is 5.35 million yuan, and the payment can be made in two installments within three months."

Recently, after absorbing a large number of books and knowledge related to business and economics in the real world, and running around with Chen Jue for a while, the dog-headed strategist's business negotiation ability has grown day by day.

So Chen Jue sent it out to run to this Binhai Industrial Park to take down this shipyard that was on the verge of bankruptcy and closure for himself.

Seeing Chen Jue, the owner, appear, Ji Yijiang also greeted him with a look of emotion: "Boss Chen is really young and promising! I don't know what your company plans to do with my old factory? If you continue to build ships, maybe I can recommend some fishermen customers to your company."

Seeing that the other party was looking at the shipyard that was about to be transferred with a reluctant look, Chen Jue felt a little empathetic and recalled the scene when he was swept out by the factory landlord when his factory failed before.

Being able to feel attached to a pile of mechanical tools, Chen Jue knew that this old brother was definitely a sentimental person, so he went up and politely shook his hand and said, "Thank you, President Ji, for your generosity! I plan to engage in mechanical processing here in the future, and shipbuilding will also be within the scope of future business."

When Ji Yijiang heard that his Minghua Shipyard might be revitalized and continue to shine in the future, his face was filled with emotion.

He pulled Chen Jue to chat and visit the situation in the factory area, touched the rusty and muddy mechanical equipment, and finally, under the witness of a lawyer invited by the other party, signed the factory transfer agreement with Chen Jue.

It is estimated that because the geographical location of this Minghua Shipyard is too remote, and the equipment in the factory is aging. Under the current economic environment, this kind of dilapidated factory is an extremely difficult hot potato to find someone to take over.

So this Boss Ji, who was in a hurry to use money, agreed to the extremely low down payment condition of 350,000 after repeated price cuts by the strategist.

As soon as the money was transferred, the other party tearfully handed the factory key to Chen Jue, added WeChat, and left directly by car with the lawyer.

"This old brother has a story!" Chen Jue muttered in his heart when he saw this.

In this day and age, there are countless factory owners in Wenshi area who have failed in their operations, and even he himself suffered a disaster during the epidemic.

Being able to turn around and get ashore with the MC system is purely a gift from God.

So, after Ji Yijiang and the others left, Chen Jue asked Tie Yi to run over and close the factory gate, and slowly strolled to the dock of the shipyard that connected to the outside inlet beach.

Standing inside the railing of the dock, feeling the salty and humid sea breeze blowing in his face, the eyes were filled with a refreshing picture of blue sky, sunset, and the half-clear and half-turbid sea water reflected by the setting sun.

On the dike far away from the shipyard, there is also a row of white windmills lined up along the coastline, slowly turning against the sea breeze.

"The scenery at the estuary is indeed quite good!" Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

Of course, he bought this bankrupt Minghua Shipyard in installments not just to see the sea view every day.

After Tie Yi and Chen Shang checked the inside and outside of the shipyard.

After confirming that there were no signs of power and monitoring, Chen Jue walked to a corner of the shipyard and asked Tie Yi to lift the sledgehammer and smash it heavily on the ground.

With a muffled sound of 'dong~', an echo of the sledgehammer hitting the ground spread towards the ground.

Soon, a familiar "dong dong dong" sound came back from the ground.

Then Chen Jue saw a grid next to his feet suddenly burst into white cracks.

With a 'dong~' sound, a grid of the ground was dug open, revealing a vertical well leading directly to the ground filled with torches. Tie Lao Liu, holding the [Stone Pickaxe], shouted "Loyalty! Sincerity!" and led a team of iron fools out from below.

The first update is here~ The length is transitional, and the number of words is a bit more.

I originally wanted to update three chapters last night, but I was too tired to write them out, so I want to say sorry to everyone first.
