"Yeah!" Ling Qingxue couldn't help but cheer.
Although Ling Qingxue didn't know much about politics, she didn't need to know about politics. Even an old farmer in the countryside knew what Master Song's handwriting meant.
Even Wu Liqian couldn't help but look excited. She was happy for Xia Ruofei from the bottom of her heart.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel happy. He quickly picked up the phone on his desk and dialed in front of Ling Qingxue and Wu Liqian.
"Fatty! How's the moving of your things in the finance department? "Xia Ruofei asked.
Pang Hao had been working temporarily in a guest room on the first floor of Xia Ruofei's villa. Sometimes, when he worked overtime late, he would sleep in the office directly. The conditions were quite difficult. With the completion of the new building, the finance department had a spacious, bright, and well-equipped office. Considering that Pang Hao's family lived in the city, Xia Ruofei had specially reserved a one-bedroom apartment for him. He could live on the farm now and go back to the city on weekends.
Pang Hao said on the phone, "I've moved more than half of it! It's mainly some bills and accounts. I want to organize them before moving them. I don't want to mess them up and make it difficult to file them. "
Xia Ruofei said directly, "Bring the scanner to my office first."
Xia Ruofei had specially prepared a scanner for Pang Hao. Now, the farm had to provide a large amount of Taoyuan vegetables to the business partners every day. In the beginning, it was settled on a daily basis. Although it had changed to a weekly basis, there were still a lot of bills. Xia Ruofei wanted all the bills to be scanned and stored in electronic files. It was more convenient to manage and check them. That was why he had specially bought a scanner.
"Okay! I'll be right there! "
After a while, Pang Hao arrived at Xia Ruofei's office, panting heavily with a scanner in his arms.
Xia Ruofei took the scanner and quickly connected it to the computer in the office. Then, he picked up the "Taoyuan Farm" title and put it into the scanner.
The title wasn't very big. Xia Ruofei scanned it into the computer twice. Then, he quickly used software to piece the whole title into a complete picture.
In fact, there was a special scanner outside, but Master Song's calligraphy wasn't big, and it wasn't complicated. It was very easy to piece it together, so Xia Ruofei simply did it himself.
Pang Hao asked curiously, "Ruofei, these words are so beautiful! Who gave you this question? "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "You don't have to care about who wrote the questions. Anyway, it's a very awesome person!"
Xia Ruofei then sent the generated image file directly to Pang Hao's mailbox and said, "Fatty, I have a temporary task for you."
"Go ahead."
"I just sent this calligraphy to your mailbox. Go back to the city immediately and find a reliable advertising company to help us make the Taoyuan Farm signboard." Xia Ruofei said, "These four words will be hung on the gate of our farm. Go to the gate and take a few photos. Let the advertising company come up with a plan. My request is that it be beautiful and elegant. Of course, the most important thing is that these four words must be perfectly replicated without the slightest change."
"Understood!" Pang Hao said immediately. "I have a relative who works in Lido Advertising. I will definitely do this beautifully for you!"
"Okay! Then you go now! "Xia Ruofei said." Let them come up with a few more plans. It doesn't matter if it's expensive! "
"Okay!" Pang Hao said. Then, he smiled and said, "Ruofei, I'm wasting time riding the motorcycle back and forth. You see …"
Xia Ruofei immediately took out the pickup truck's key and threw it to Pang Hao. "Take it easy on the road!"
Pang Hao had just gotten his driver's license, so he was most addicted to driving. He took the key and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Although I'm a new driver, my skills are not a problem! "
After saying that, he ran out of the room.
Xia Ruofei then said to Ling Qingxue, "Qingxue, Uncle Ling knows a lot of people. I want to ask him to help me find someone to frame the calligraphy and hang it in the office."
"Okay! I'll bring it back directly later, "Ling Qingxue said without hesitation.
"Try to find the best framer," Xia Ruofei said. Then, he added, "Keep it tight."
This piece of calligraphy had Elder Song's signature and seal. Although Xia Ruofei was going to hang it in the office after framing it, he didn't want it to be spread out during the framing process and make it known to everyone.
"Okay, I'll remember," Ling Qingxue said obediently. "I'll tell my dad."
Xia Ruofei nodded. He carefully rolled the calligraphy and put it in the paper box. Then, he put it aside.
As for the "Taoyuan Farm" calligraphy, Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't hang it, but he cherished it very much. He called Lei Hu and asked him to find a few pieces of rice paper, plastic wrap, and a sealed bag.
Then, he lined the calligraphy with blank rice paper. Then, he carefully rolled it up and wrapped it with plastic wrap. Finally, he put it in a sealed bag and put it in the safe in the corner of the office.
Most of the time, it was harder to preserve a framed calligraphy or painting. Since the calligraphy wouldn't be hung, Xia Ruofei's current method was the most appropriate. If he folded it casually, it would leave traces or even be damaged after a long time. Rolling it up with rice paper, wrapping it with plastic wrap, and putting it in a sealed bag could basically isolate the calligraphy from the air and prevent it from being oxidized after a long time.
After dealing with the two pieces of calligraphy, Xia Ruofei smiled and asked Wu Liqian and Ling Qingxue to sit down in the reception area of the office. Then, he personally made tea for the two beauties.
Although Xia Ruofei's office had just been renovated, it had everything it needed. There was even a small refrigerator next to the coffee table. There were even good tea leaves, black tea, green tea, and white tea. Liang Weimin had arranged for someone to prepare them in advance.
From these details, it could be seen that Liang Weimin was very concerned about Xia Ruofei's affairs.
Wu Liqian picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then, she asked, "Xiao Xia, now that your farm has begun to take shape, do you have any plans for the future development?"
Xia Ruofei skillfully poured a cup of tea for Ling Qingxue. Then, he smiled and said, "I do have short-term goals. For example, the production capacity of the vegetable greenhouse has not reached saturation. I plan to hire a new batch of workers. In addition, the utilization rate of the farm is not high, including the fish pond in the south that has been idle. In addition to the orchard in the back of the mountain, there is still a lot of land that can be further developed."
Then, Xia Ruofei asked again, "Sister Wu, do you have any good suggestions?"
Wu Liqian had worked for Tian Huilan for many years. Now, she was the executive deputy county magistrate. Although she didn't have much experience in business, she was very familiar with economic work. Xia Ruofei also wanted to hear her opinion.
Wu Liqian pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, you just said to expand the production capacity and further increase the utilization rate of the farm. These are all very good ideas. But I think we can be bolder. "
"Oh? What do you mean? "Xia Ruofei asked with interest.
Wu Liqian didn't immediately answer Xia Ruofei's question. Instead, she asked, "Xiao Xia, the vegetables and fruits produced by your farm should be very popular, right?"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "At present, there is no need to worry about sales. I have three fixed partners, namely Ling's Restaurant, Xijiang Monthly Club, and Hong Kong's Hengfeng Group. Even if the production capacity of the greenhouse reaches saturation, my three partners can still eat the output."
Wu Liqian smiled and said, "That's about what I expected. So, my first suggestion is … to further expand the scale of the farm and build more vegetable greenhouses. I see that there is still a lot of land around your farm that is uncultivated. It is useless for the village to keep it. You can expand the scale of the farm to two or even three times its current size. "
Xia Ruofei hesitated for a moment and said, "Continue to expand the scale of the farm?"
In fact, Xia Ruofei was not very willing to do so. Although the scale of the farm was not big at present, the benefits it created were much greater than many large farms. Moreover, Xia Ruofei felt that although operating ordinary peach garden vegetables was very profitable, enough to make most people jealous, he didn't care about such a rate of return.
He had Ring-Tu space at hand. It was really a waste to operate these ordinary vegetables and fruits.
Wu Liqian seemed to have seen through Xia Ruofei's thoughts. She smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, your peach garden vegetables are indeed very popular now, but you only supply to three companies. If ordinary people want to eat Taoyuan vegetables, they can only choose Ling's Restaurant or Xijiang Monthly Club …"
Speaking of this, Wu Liqian looked at Ling Qingxue and said with a smile, "Qingxue, I'm not saying that your family's Ling's Restaurant is not good!"
Ling Qingxue said with a smile, "Sister Wu, I know. Go on! "
Wu Liqian was giving advice to Xia Ruofei, so Ling Qingxue was naturally not unhappy. Moreover, girls were on the outside. Even if Ling's Restaurant and Taoyuan Farm had a conflict of interest now, she was still on Xia Ruofei's side in her heart.
Wu Liqian smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, now your products are indeed in short supply, but your current business model is not very good for further expanding your popularity and becoming well-known in the province or even the country. You should further expand the scope of your supply and let consumers see your Taoyuan vegetables in more restaurants and even supermarkets. "
In all fairness, Wu Liqian's suggestion was not good for Ling's Restaurant.
Because the target customers of Xijiang Monthly Club were the upper class of society, Ling's Restaurant was almost monopolizing the supply of Taoyuan vegetables to ordinary people in Sanshan City.
This alone could bring a large number of consumers to Ling's Restaurant.
If they expanded the scope of their supply, this monopoly situation would no longer exist.
After Xia Ruofei heard Wu Liqian's words, he felt quite enlightened. He had always adhered to the high-quality product line. In the early stages, he had spent a lot of effort to create these ordinary vegetable and fruit markets. It was nothing more than to increase the popularity of the Taoyuan Company. Therefore, when Wu Liqian reminded him, he immediately realized the drawbacks of the previous business model.
These days, even good wine was afraid of deep alleys!
The foundation of Ling's Restaurant was always in Sanshan City. At most, it would radiate to Southeast Province, and its influence on the national scale was minimal.
This was indeed not very good for rapidly expanding the popularity of the Taoyuan Company.
However, Xia Ruofei was also a little hesitant, mainly because he considered the impact of expanding the scope of their supply on Ling's Restaurant.
Wu Liqian seemed to have guessed Xia Ruofei's scruples. She said with a smile, "I know that Ling's Restaurant is Qingxue's company, and expanding the scope of their supply will inevitably affect the business of Ling's Restaurant. However, I think this impact is far from as big as you think, and it is controllable. For example, you can adopt a tiered system and give Ling's Restaurant a more favorable price. You can even directly increase the bill of lading for new partners. Presumably, with the advantage of cost, and Ling's Restaurant itself is a very strong chain restaurant company, it should be able to compete with other restaurants in the same industry, right? "
Wu Liqian then added, "Of course, the short-term impact is unavoidable."
The more Xia Ruofei listened, the more he felt that it made sense.
At first, Ling Qingxue still had a little bit of worry, but after listening to Wu Liqian's words, this little bit of worry had disappeared.
Ling's Restaurant had already walked out of the most difficult stage and was now in the period of rising development. Not only did it enter the hotel industry, but it had also begun to open branches in prefecture-level cities. It had even taken the signboard of the designated reception unit of the Municipal Party Committee. It was at the time of prosperity. If they adopted a tiered system like Wu Liqian said, even if there was a short-term impact, it would definitely not be a serious problem.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Sister Wu's words are quite reasonable. How about I contact Director Ruan of Dongkeng Village in the next two days and expand the scope of the farm?"
Whether it was adding new land or building new greenhouses according to the original standards, it would cost a lot of money. However, this money did not need to be taken out all at once. Besides, Xia Ruofei only relied on the Taoyuan vegetables to earn hundreds of thousands of yuan every month. He could completely enclose the land first, and then gradually build more greenhouses step by step to expand the production capacity.
Wu Liqian said, "I can help you talk to the people in the town and village. There shouldn't be any resistance."
"Thank you, Sister Wu. There definitely won't be a problem if you do it personally!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. Then, he laughed at himself and said, "Actually, I'm a lazy person. When I think about renegotiating the lease contract, finding people to build greenhouses, and recruiting new workers … I'm going to have a headache!"
Wu Liqian pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "This is the second suggestion I want to give you."
"There's a second suggestion!" Ling Qingxue said with a smile, "Sister Wu, hurry up and say it! Ruofei is the kind of guy who will move after being whipped. He's very lazy! "
Xia Ruofei smiled helplessly. He felt very innocent about Ling Qingxue's evaluation.
Wu Liqian said with a smile, "Qingxue, my second suggestion is to let Xiao Xia be more relaxed."
Then, Wu Liqian turned to Xia Ruofei and said, "Xiao Xia, you should set up the framework of the company as soon as possible. Leave the management to the professional managers. This is also an inevitable trend. With the development of your company, the evaluation of personnel and recruitment needs to be managed by someone! You need a human resources department. You need to negotiate contracts with partners. When there are contract disputes and infringement cases, you need to file a lawsuit, right? You need a legal department, finance, sales, and so on. If there is a professional manager in charge of each job, and then there are a few capable general managers and deputy general managers, you don't have to manage everything by yourself. As the boss, you only need to control the general direction! "
Ling Qingxue agreed with this. Her family owned a company, and it was a very large chain of restaurants. Naturally, she had a lot of experience in managing a company.
However, Ling Qingxue said with some hesitation, "Sister Wu, this way, the expenses will be a lot higher!"
Wu Liqian said with a smile, "In the beginning, you can set up the framework first. You don't even need to rent an office building. It's more than enough to work in this building. Later, as the company develops, you can slowly recruit people. In fact, the expenses won't be too much."
"Well, that makes sense," Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I'm very interested in suggestions that can make me lazy. But … I don't know where to find a general manager or deputy general manager! The finance director can be Fatty, but the legal department, human resources department, and sales department all need people with relevant work experience! "
Ling Qingxue said, "Ruofei, there are many headhunting companies now. You can recruit people through them."
Wu Liqian also nodded and said, "Qingxue is right. It's a good idea to go through headhunting companies. Also … I have a good candidate here. She is my university classmate. Her work experience and qualifications are good, and she just resigned recently. "
Xia Ruofei said with some hesitation, "Sister Wu, your classmate should be successful people now, right? Would she be willing to come to a small company like mine? "
"I can help to set up a bridge. You can meet and get to know each other." Wu Liqian said, "Anyway, she has nothing to do. I'll call her, and she will definitely come. As for whether she is willing to stay and work, I'm not sure. "
"Okay! Then I'll have to trouble you to contact her. It would be best to arrange for us to meet in the next few days, "Xia Ruofei said," Let's meet here! We can also check out the working environment. "
Wu Liqian nodded and said, "No problem!"
Then, Wu Liqian stood up and said with a smile, "Well, I should go back. If I stay here any longer, I will be annoying …"
Ling Qingxue blushed and said, "Sister Wu, why would we dislike you?"
Xia Ruofei also laughed and said, "That's right. My farm is on your land! How would I dare to look down on you?! "
"I really should go. There is still a lot of work in the county!" Wu Liqian said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue walked her to the door, and she didn't let them walk her out anymore.
"Okay, you don't have to come out. I can go down by myself," Wu Liqian said.
Xia Ruofei didn't insist. He watched Wu Liqian walk to the stairs, then went back to the office with Ling Qingxue and closed the door.
When Wu Liqian was there, he didn't feel anything. Now that the two of them were alone, it seemed that an ambiguous atmosphere began to spread.
Ling Qingxue looked at Xia Ruofei affectionately. Xia Ruofei also felt a fire in his heart. They hadn't been together for three days. For a man and a woman in love, this was a very long time.
Xia Ruofei looked at Ling Qingxue and said with a naughty smile, "Qingxue, we … I don't think we have done it in the office …"
Ling Qingxue's face suddenly turned pale and she cried, "No, go … go back to your villa …"
