Chapter 59: The Bet
Lu Yuanhao asked to go to the study room tonight. Before Tian Xiaoman could say anything, Lu Yuanhao told Tian Xiaoman the results of today's dealings with Tian Meimei. However, Lu Yuanhao did not say that Tian Meimei would be undercover, so as not to worry Tian Xiaoman. Tian Xiaoman
Man understood that Lu Yuanhao did not sue Tian Meimei for her own sake, and she was very grateful for what Lu Yuanhao had done for her.
What makes Tian Xiaoman even more happy is that for the first time, Tian Xiaoman and Tian Meimei have a non-hostile relationship. Tian Xiaoman does not expect her sister, who is not related by blood, to become a true friend. At least she does not harm herself and her little sister.
Zhi, I am thankful to God. In order to show her gratitude to Lu Yuanhao, Tian Xiaoman took the initiative to take a double bath with Lu Yuanhao today, and Lu Yuanhao happily started having fun in the room.
Mr. Lu let Lu Yuankun settle in the flour mill, which temporarily eased the tit-for-tat situation between Lu Yuanhao and Lu Yuankun. Jiang Yuanyuan spent all her energy on attracting customers for Lu Yuankun, and Wang Guiyu also tried hard to learn from Jiang Yuanyuan to run the young master's house. In addition to playing mahjong one day a week
And watch the horse racing for one day, and stay at home the rest of the time.
Tian Xiaoman's character is happy-go-lucky, and she is very devoted whether she is busy or leisurely. Ever since she learned how to manage the second young master's house from Uncle Wang, she has actually taken care of everything in the house in an orderly manner. She is fair and kind-hearted, and has a good relationship with the house.
All the maids, women, and male servants there were convinced.
On the contrary, Wang Guiyu didn't like to confine herself to her home. It was painful for her to ask him to give up playing cards and horse racing for the so-called power. But in order to live and survive, she had to support the young master's house.
Otherwise, she will completely lose her status in the Lu family in the future.
When Lu Yuankun took office, he decided to start his competition with Lu Yuanhao. Although the bet was on the duo of Tian Xiaozhi from Silk Company, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was a life-and-death battle. Lu Yuankun could not lose. If he lost the game,
The entire Lu Group has become Lu Yuanhao's back garden.
The reason why Mr. Lu wants to continue this bet is that he wants to inject new vitality into the Lu Group. At the same time, he also wants to see the capabilities of Lu Yuankun and Tian Xiaozhi. Mr. Lu naturally understands that it is said to be a contest between two people, but in reality
The above is a contest between two forces, and Lu Yuanhao and the second wife will never stand idly by.
As long as there are games, there will be rules. As long as they do not break the bottom line of his own rules, Mr. Lu allows them to trade privately. Lu Yuankun has always been in the military, so the military has some strength. But after he actually started running a business, Lu Yuankun knew what he needed to learn.
too much.
The flour industry is originally a basic industry, and there will be many retail investors without publicity. But a flour company is not one of its own. Retail investors will flock to whoever has good quality and low price. How dynamic a company is, its net profit is a
A very important test indicator. In the final analysis, the purpose of running a company is to make money, and no one will do a business where you work hard to make money.
But every industry has its own rules, costs, equipment, personnel costs, equipment utilization, the difference between wholesale and retail, and the fluctuation of competitive profits in the same industry, which involves all aspects. Although Lu Yuankun has never personally run a company
, but I have been exposed to it since childhood, and there are many professional talents in the company. Therefore, one month after joining the company, I have a basic understanding of the flour mill's business model inside and outside the company.
Although Jiang Yuanyuan could not go to the company to help, Lu Yuankun would go to the second wife's house for half an hour to an hour every day after returning home from the company. Jiang Yuanyuan gave him a lot of help in terms of original funds, which gave Lu Yuankun no worries.
When Lu Yuankun purchased grain, he tried his best to keep the price as low as possible, but strictly controlled the quality. He sent people to record the grain prices of all flour mills one by one, and based on the company's costs, he formulated a price that was slightly lower than other grain prices.
sales strategy.
On the basis of stabilizing old customers, Lu Yuankun spent a lot of money to sign supply contracts with some large wholesalers. Currently, all the flour produced by the company can be sold within a week.
After calculation, Lu Yuankun's net profit was around 10% in the first three months after he took over, but the sales volume increased by about 10 tons every month. If it continues to develop at this rate, it is very promising to defeat Tian Xiaozhi's silk company.
During this period, the production of Tian Xiaozhi Silk Company was carried out at the same speed. The profit of the silk factory was close to 40%, but it mainly depends on sales. If the silk and fabrics produced cannot be sold and there is too much backlog, the profit will be lost.
There was no way to talk about it. So after Tian Xiaozhi settled in the silk company, he spent his main energy on opening up the market.
The competition among silk companies across the country is fierce, and all kinds of new products are changing with each passing day. If you want to occupy a place in a silk company, reform and innovation are particularly important. After market research, it was found that the silk and cloth produced by the Lu Group are of high quality and forward-looking. The only shortcoming is
The price is on the high side.
When Tian Xiaozhi was negotiating with several large garment factories and large wholesalers, he always encountered price problems. After research, if the company's net profit dropped by five percentage points, the silk and cloth produced by the silk company would be in short supply. Tian Xiaozhi passed by
After a market survey, it was decided to reduce the net profit by 5%, increase the acquisition of silkworm cocoons by the Silk Company, and adopt the method of stopping some people and not stopping the machine, so as to increase the company's production volume by 30%.
After three months of trial operation, the silk company's net profit increased by more than four million compared with the same period last year. Tian Xiaozhi became confident in his reforms. Lu Yuanhao had prepared funds and many silk talents to secretly help Xiaozhi, but when he saw Xiaozhi
Zhi had achieved so much success in such a short period of time that he gave up the idea of helping him.
Ever since the bet between Tian Xiaozhi and Lu Yuankun began, the most worried person was Tian Xiaoman. Although Xiaozhi is very smart, after all, he is too young and has been weak and sickly since he was a child. He has not received systematic training and training. Follow
Compared with Lu Yuankun, the fox in the shopping mall, he seems too naive and young.
However, the news from Lu Yuanhao, Shen Mo, and Uncle Wang all said that Xiaozhi did a good job and he would definitely defeat Lu Yuankun and win this competition.
Caring leads to chaos, and Tian Xiaoman still worries about gains and losses. Although Lu Yuanhao said that the worst case scenario is that Xiaozhi won't dare to be a manager anymore, and that if you stay by his side and protect him, you will earn a lot of money. But Tian Xiaoman still hopes that Tian Xiaozhi will rely on his own strength.
Establish a foothold in the business world. The Tian family's property is not large, but it will definitely be handed over to him in the future, because he is the only male in the Tian family.
Tian Xiaoman also wants to hold Tian Xiaozhi in her hands and take care of him, but she understands better that letting Xiaozhi fly by himself is her true love for him. Tian Xiaoman believes in Xiaozhi's ability, and she believes that Xiaozhi is the best she has ever seen.
The smartest boy. But what he lacks is experience and flexibility. Tian Xiaoman is sometimes very conflicted. He hopes that Xiaozhi can defeat Lu Yuankun smoothly, but he is also afraid that Xiaozhi will go too smoothly without experiencing setbacks, which will be detrimental to his future development.
Amidst this uneasiness, the time for the end of the PK between the two finally came. Mr. Lu, the second wife, Lu Yuanhao and the department managers of each company participated in the appraisal work. Through the silk company, the flour company's output value, profit last year and this year, etc.
In the comprehensive evaluation of various indicators, Lu Yuankun and Tian Xiaozhi both performed very well. Putting aside the special factors of the two companies, the two people were almost tied.
Mr. Lu achieved his goal. He announced that Lu Yuankun and Tian Xiaozhi were tied, and rewarded Lu Yuankun and Tian Xiaozhi. He rewarded Lu Yuankun with one million in cash and a Ferrari sports car, and rewarded Tian Xiaozhi with a house as his future marriage.
Fang. Mr. Lu’s move was very powerful. He channeled the conflicts between the two parties into business competition. In the end, it was the entire Lu family that benefited.
Mr. Lu announced that all competition mechanisms will be introduced into all industries of Lu's industry. All department managers will adopt a competitive appointment system and make comprehensive selections based on performance every year. Those who do well will continue to stay, and those with the lowest performance will be retained.
Managers are recruited through open competition.
Lu Yuanhao understood that the old man's balancing skills were in full bloom. Although he was his biological son, he still could not trust him 100%. Tobacco and pharmaceutical companies, two major profit companies, the old man had arranged for his two illegitimate sons to join the company, although the general manager was still
Lu Yuanhao, but the production rights of tobacco and pharmaceutical companies no longer belong to Lu Yuanhao.
Although medicine and tobacco focus on sales, the production link is very important, especially in pharmaceutical factories. If there are quality problems, it is like digging your own grave. Mr. Lu has to know. He resolutely took the production rights of the two companies into his own hands.
, obviously feeling that Lu Yuanhao has gained too much power in recent years and has threatened his dominance in the family.
However, Mr. Lu's servants and royal family have become extremely skilled in the art of imperial control, which weakened Lu Yuanhao's power, but gave Tian Xiaoman a false position, that is, the substitute housekeeper wife of the Lu family. In other words, the entire Lu family is under the control of the second wife.
When he is unable to exercise power at home or for other reasons, Tian Xiaoman manages the internal affairs of the entire Lu family.
