The procedures were quickly completed and Jiang Chen obtained the ownership of the factory. 2.7 million was directly transferred to Zheng Hongjie's account. When he saw the text message from the bank on his phone, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He would still be the factory director with a base salary of 8000 with bonuses based on performance. Just like before, he would be in charge of all the operations. Although it was tiring, Jiang Chen gave him a generous bonus. But how much he would get would depend on his performance.
"I won't care too much about how the factory operates, but there are a few things that you need to do for me." Although his tone was relaxed, Zheng Hongjie still heard the undeniable tone in his voice.
"Go ahead." Zheng Hongjie nodded with a serious expression.
"First, if we are going to do it, we have to make it big. We can put aside OEM for now. We need to develop our own brand."
"Our own brand?" Zheng Hongjie had a troubled smile on his face. "To be honest, I have tried to create my own brand before, but the cost was too high. Advertising, hiring celebrities, and also having to find our own sales channel. Compared to the profit from OEM, it is not worth it, and I have to bear the risk. "
Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.
"OEM is enough if it's small scale, but I don't plan to do it on a small scale. I will continue to invest in the early stages, including research and development, upgrading large-scale production lines, and expanding the factory. You don't need to worry about sales, I'll talk about it next. As to the distribution channel, I'll take care of that. "
Are you kidding me? Is there any channel better than the Internet? Future 1.0 could create some kind of event, like giving out mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, or giving out desserts. Once he made Liu Yao popular, it would only be a matter of a word for her to be his spokesperson.
Seeing how confident the boss was, although Zheng Hongjie was still uncertain, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Second, this is the most important point. We need to transform into a foreign trade. I need you to apply for the import and export license. The specific direction is tentatively set at Pannu Islands. We will import fruits to produce canned fruits and sell them inland, then we will export canned food products. "
Hearing this, Zheng Hongjie slightly furrowed his brows and said thoughtfully.
"I've considered exporting in the past, but foreign trade isn't that easy. First, we don't have a strong enough brand. Second, in terms of production costs, we don't have any advantages compared to companies in Australia and Country F. The other key is transportation. I know about Pannu Islands, it should be a small country in the Western Pacific Ocean. They seem to be so poor that they don't even have a deep water port that allows large ships to dock. "
"You don't have to worry about that. It won't be long before investors build a trading port there. You only need to focus on expanding production and selling there, then process the cheap fruits back into cans. "Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything else.
Zheng Hongjie paused for a moment and looked at Jiang Chen strangely. Although he was very curious as to why he knew so much about that backward country, since the boss didn't intend to say it, he didn't ask anymore.
"Thirdly, this is not an official matter. You just need to pay attention to it. I need you to set aside a batch of surplus stock every month. "
It was not a problem to buy supplies from the owner of the Grain and Oil Store in the short term, but it was not reliable in the long term. Since the warehouse only allowed entry and no exit, it would be fine once or twice, but it wouldn't last long. Once the population of the Fishbone base increased, the demand for food would naturally increase. It would be safer to have a food processing plant as a cover.
"Surplus stock?" Zheng Hongjie almost thought he heard wrong.
The so-called leftover goods were those that were produced in excess. Usually, they were either given as employee benefits or disposed of casually. It was the first time he heard a boss asking for surplus stock.
"Mhmm, I'll send you the exact amount. Just pay attention to it. This batch doesn't need to be packaged. It's not for sale. I have other uses. "
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Zheng Hongjie didn't ask anymore. Although the request was a bit strange, it wasn't a difficult task. As a former boss, he knew that he only needed to listen to his boss' orders.
…
"Dad!"
"Hey! My good daughter, haha, dad is back. "Zheng Hongjie laughed as he picked up his daughter who ran to him.
"Dad, who is he?" The cute little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen squatted down and looked at the lively little girl with a smile. "Uncle is your dad's friend. What's your name?"
"My name is Jiajia. I'm a second grader at Experimental Elementary School," Jiajia said with a cute voice.
Jiang Chen paused for a moment when he heard Experimental Elementary School.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Jiajia tilted her head.
"Nothing, hehe." Jiang Chen forced a smile and said in a relaxed tone.
[Sun Jiao should still be waiting for me there.]
He peeked at his right hand. He tried it this morning and still couldn't use it.
"You're here. This is?" A virtuous-looking woman walked out of the kitchen and asked her husband when she saw Jiang Chen.
"This is my boss, Mr. Jiang Chen." Zheng Hongjie smiled at his wife.
"You … finally sold the factory?"
"Mhmm, I sold it. But Mr. Jiang hired me to continue as the factory manager. "
Kong Jie looked at the long-lost smile on her husband's face. Her eyes were filled with a layer of mist.
She took a deep breath. Under Jiang Chen and Zheng Hongjie's shocked gaze, she solemnly bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Honey?"
"What, what are you doing?" Jiang Chen looked at her with a bitter smile as he said helplessly.
"These days, Hongjie has been worrying about the factory every day, regretting that he shouldn't have listened to his friend's advice in the beginning. I'm really scared. I'm scared that one day he'll take things too hard and leave us behind … "Kong Jie's eyes were filled with tears.
Zheng Hongjie looked at the tears in his wife's eyes and suddenly hugged her.
"Dummy, how could I leave you behind?" The muscular man's voice was choked with emotion.
Jiang Chen looked at the two in silence as a smile appeared on his face.
It was better not to disturb them at this time.
"Uncle." Jiajia raised her head and looked at Jiang Chen with her cute big eyes.
"Mhmm? Little Jiajia, what's the matter? "Jiang Chen, who collected his thoughts, bent down with a smile and rubbed her hair.
"It's you," Jiajia said with a cute voice.
Pfft.
Jiang Chen suddenly burst out laughing. Jiajia tilted her head and looked at the uncle in front of her, confused.
"Mhmm, no need to thank me. Jiajia is very polite." For some reason, he felt very happy at this moment.
"Hehe." Because she received a compliment, Jiajia smiled embarrassedly.
After Zheng Hongjie separated from his wife, he looked at Jiang Chen awkwardly. After all, it was not polite to leave a guest on the side to show off their love. The shy Kong Jie already escaped to the kitchen. Jiajia tilted her head in confusion while Zheng Hongjie apologized to Jiang Chen with a blushing face.
But Jiang Chen smiled and didn't mind. He then sat on the sofa with Zheng Hongjie and began to chat.
Zheng Hongjie was also very talkative. After all, he used to be a taxi driver and then went into business. Although his experience was not as exciting as Jiang Chen's, his life experience was far more than Jiang Chen could compare.
His wife, Kong Jie, was a very traditional woman. She virtuously prepared the food and then brought it to the table to invite everyone to eat.
At the table, Jiang Chen and Zheng Hongjie drank a few glasses. Seeing Jiajia curiously reaching out to touch the glass, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Is this the feeling of home?
Thinking about it, it was the same feeling at the old fox Wang Dehai's house.
He suddenly felt envious, but he didn't know why.
Maybe it was time to go back to his hometown, Hucheng. Let's go back during Chinese New Year. It was almost October now.
Looking at the dazzling array of home-cooked dishes on the table, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
But at this moment, there was a sudden "Bang Bang Bang" sound of the door being knocked on, forcibly interrupting his thoughts.
"Who is it?" Jiang Chen paused and looked at Zheng Hongjie.
But Zheng Hongjie's face was also confused. After exchanging a look with his wife, he stood up and quickly ran to the door.
"You are?" After opening the door, Zheng Hongjie looked at the young men at the door with confusion.
"Fu * k, debt evaders!" A few young men in shirts saw the door open and without any hesitation, they barged into the room.
"Wait, did you get the wrong person —" Zheng Hongjie was pushed to the side as he struggled angrily.
"This is an IOU, three million, debt collection company, do you understand?" A young man with a buzz cut aggressively pushed Zheng Hongjie, and then a few people surrounded him with a menacing smile.
"What are you doing! Let go of Hongjie, I'm going to call the police! "Kong Jie took out the phone and said with a trembling voice.
"Police? Don't use the police to scare me. Let me tell you, how do you know who Brother Qiang is? "The young man said arrogantly. Behind him stood a man wearing sunglasses. He didn't say a word and had a cigarette in his mouth.
This guy was probably the Brother Qiang he was talking about.
"Dad!" When Jiajia saw that her dad was in trouble, her round face immediately twisted. With tears in her eyes, she wanted to run over.
"Don't come over, Jiajia! Dad is fine. " Zheng Hongjie was so scared that he quickly stopped her. Kong Jie also quickly grabbed Jiajia and held her in her arms.
Zheng Hongjie took a deep breath and looked at the young man. "I've prepared the money. I'll borrow some from my relatives in two days —"
"Two more days? I'm going to solve this problem today- "
Just then, the young man suddenly saw Jiang Chen, and the hooligan expression on his face instantly froze.
To be honest, Jiang Chen was also shocked at first as he didn't expect to see him here.
Jiang Chen looked at the young man with a dubious expression.
"What a coincidence, it's you again?"
