Chapter 134 Aroma
Chapter 134: The fragrance hits people
When Wu Shaoting called the boat, the two young prostitutes thought he was going to have fun, so they came up with him with great affection.
He originally planned to blow away these girls, but when he turned around, he thought that if he had appeared in Guangzhou City as an excuse for coming to Fireworks Alley, it would be a good cover-up. So he deliberately joked with these girls, of course, just kidding.
After arriving on the shore, he looked at the two young men's poor and down-and-out appearance, and knew that their lives were not satisfactory, so he finally took out his pocket watch as a shipyard.
Both girls were very strange, and they were so old that they couldn't help asking: "June Jun, you, are you leaving like this?"
Wu Shaoting looked back and saw that the two girls were only about fifteen years old. He said, "Sell your pocket watch and have a good New Year." He also wanted to persuade them to change their careers, but he felt that this was unnecessary. If there were any other ways to make a living, he would not have fallen to this point.
After saying that, he jumped out of the boat and left.
At this time, the city had already gained some popularity, but the official patrols could be seen passing by from time to time on the streets and alleys, which made people panic. The progress of the search for the revolutionary party seemed to be coming to an end. After all, Chen Lianbai only knew the appearance of Liao Zhongkai, Hu Hanmin and others. As for the stronghold, it was only the place on Shisanxing Street.
Wu Shaoting walked to Defeng Building. He was not sure if Zhang Xiaoya would be busy with the company's affairs as the Chinese New Year approached, but since they were all here, they would definitely go up and take a look. When he arrived at the door of Zhang Shengting's company on the second floor, he saw that the company's door was still open and there were people talking inside.
He tidied up some of his appearance at the door before walking in.
Someone in the company already knew Wu Shaoting, so they quickly welcomed Wu Shaoting in. Although Mr. Wu was just an honorary deputy manager, he was one of the directors of the company and a senior officer in the army, so he naturally could not neglect it.
"Miss Zhang is here?" Wu Shaoting asked, "Pour me a glass of water, I'm thirsty."
He didn't eat anything early in the morning and was struggling in Guangzhou for a long time. His physical energy was a bit too high.
"Ms. Zhang left the city in the morning, and she said she would come back at noon, so it should be soon. Mr. Wu, you don't know. Our company has been doing well recently. We will launch new products after the New Year, and we will also open a retail juice store in the city." A young clerk said happily. After he said that, he instructed another colleague to pour tea quickly.
"Is that so fast?" Wu Shaoting said in surprise. He originally thought that such a small workshop would not develop in at least a year, but he did not expect that the retail store would be opened in just two months.
"Yes, Lord Wu has been busy with military affairs during this period, so of course he didn't know the changes in the company. At the beginning of the month, the general manager's brother transported a batch of machinery from Hong Kong, greatly increasing the output. Mr. Zhang Si also purchased two other farms. At present, except for the farm in Xinjiao, the other two farms have been installed with machinery." The young clerk said with an introduction.
"How much juice can you produce in a day now?" Wu Shaoting asked with interest.
"Now our company has three varieties, each variety can produce 3,000 bottles per day."
"There are three varieties? It's really good." Wu Shaoting said sighing.
"Yes, the fourth variety was thought out by our general manager himself. She used milk to mix it with plum juice and became a new type of plum milk. It tasted very good! It was launched immediately after the New Year. Now there are 300 long-term orders and 150,000 orders." The young man said proudly.
At this moment, a cheerful humming sound suddenly came from the gate of the company, and soon Zhang Xiaoya's figure appeared.
Today, Zhang Xiaoya was wearing a graceful Chinese mink fur flower jacket, but her lower body was breeches made of high-quality materials and a pair of pink leather boots on her feet. She looked fashionable and traditional. Although it looked weird, Zhang Xiaoya had a pure and beautiful appearance, which looked so fresh and refined.
"Wu Shaoting, are you here again? You won't inform me in advance! Haha!"
Zhang Xiaoya stood at the door and saw Wu Shaoting, and immediately became happy, but she was still proud and proud in her joy, as if she was showing off something. She wore white cotton gloves on both hands, and she deliberately raised her right hand and shook a bottle in her hand with a screw cap on her at Wu Shaoting.
The bottle contains milky white liquid, and when it shakes, you can see brown particles mixed with it.
Wu Shaoting smiled and called Zhang Xiaoya to account and said, "Ms. Zhang is in good spirits today."
Zhang Xiaoya walked in with a smile and said, "That's right, our company's fourth product has finally been tested. Haha." After she said that, she ordered the employee who came back from behind who came back with her, "Hurry up and bring everything in, the formula should be retracted into the safe, and you must not leak it."
When Wu Shaoting heard these words, he was happy. Zhang Xiaoya actually knew how to protect intellectual property rights.
After Zhang Xiaoya watched the employees carrying boxes into the office in the east, she turned around and looked at Wu Shaoting.
"Ha, deputy manager, you can't guess. Under my leadership, the company has grown stronger and stronger. Look, this is our new product." She said, handing the bottle to Wu Shaoting.
Wu Shaoting took it and looked at it. It was really fresh milk mixed with plum meat. He suddenly smelled a faint and soft fragrance and couldn't help but ask: "This fragrance... is so strange. Have you added spices?"
Zhang Xiaoya frowned in confusion and asked back: "Can spices be added to the juice?"
Wu Shaoting sniffed it carefully and said curiously: "Why does this fragrance look like a perfume used by girls?"
Zhang Xiaoya vaguely guessed something and couldn't help laughing. She deliberately took a big step forward, just one step away from Wu Shaoting, and both sides could feel each other's body temperature.
"Hehe, do you feel more fragrant now?" Zhang Xiaoya asked with a cute and smirk.
"It's true... Uh, it turns out it's the smell on you." Wu Shaoting reacted now and laughed at himself with a laugh. "I'm wondering what spice you are using, but it can even penetrate the glass bottle. If you really add spices to the juice drink, I would object to this despicable method."
"How could that be? I don't know that spices can be added to the juice. Open it and smell it, haha, the taste is so good!" Zhang Xiaoya urged.
Wu Shaoting then unscrewed the glass bottle cap and leaned against his nose to smell it. It turned out that the milk smell was fragrant with fruit, which made people feel refreshed. He felt thirsty just because he smelled the smell. He happened to be running around for a whole morning and asked the clerk to pour water but there was no further information. He immediately drank the juice from the glass bottle.
Zhang Xiaoya's big eyes showed surprise and she quickly shouted: "Hey, hey, this is mine."
Wu Shaoting drank it all in one breath, breathed happily, and smiled and said, "The taste is really good. Miss Zhang, you have really made contributions this time. When you pair it with such delicious juice, you will definitely have a lot of expenses and take our company to a higher level."
Zhang Xiaoya looked depressed and didn't feel happy at all. She murmured: "Are you doing it wrong? This is what I have drunk. You...you are too unhygienic..."
Wu Shaoting suddenly became embarrassed. He clearly saw that the juice was filled with fullness and there was no sign of being drunk at all.
Zhang Xiaoya said again: "I plan to taste it slowly. You drank it all in one breath. Do you know if I debugged it for seven days before I could match this juice. I only produced this little bit in these seven days. You are so angry."
Although the words said "I'm so angry", Zhang Xiaoya just muttered her little mouth, looking a little shy and didn't look angry at all.
Wu Shaoting wiped his mouth, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "This, I'm really embarrassed. I don't know that Miss Zhang has drunk it... I thought Miss Zhang asked me to taste it."
Zhang Xiaoya sighed and said in a low voice: "Stop talking. If my father finds out, he will be nagging a lot again. Forget it, just drink it!"
Wu Shaoting didn't know what he was saying, so he had to stand there and smile.
The other employees in the office were secretly amused when they saw the two managers being so ambiguous, but they didn't dare to say anything. They worked with their heads buried in their heads and pretended not to see anything.
Zhang Xiaoya's delicate little face was a little hot. Although she was not old, she was in the age of cardamom. When she thought that Wu Shaoting had finished drinking the juice she had drunk, she felt shy and felt that it was an indirect kiss. Her heart gradually became uneasy. In order to hide her shyness, she had to change the topic as soon as possible.
"By the way, why do you have time to come to the city today?" She said in a weak tone, and suddenly she changed from lively and generous to dignified lady.
"Today is just free. I'm worried that you will have a holiday early in the morning as the year approaches, so I rushed over to check it out early in the morning. After all, I have shares in the company. I should always understand the company's situation all year round." Wu Shaoting said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoya said resentfully: "I originally planned to have a holiday, but I didn't expect that the more New Year the more I celebrated, the more orders there were. What big hotels, big restaurants, small restaurants, and small restaurants all had to purchase a large amount of goods. Oh, I'm so busy."
Wu Shaoting asked, "Has Mr. Fourth helped with cooking recently?"
Zhang Xiaoya shook her head and said, "Uncle Fourth returned to Jiangsu seven days ago. He also wanted to go home for the New Year. However, Uncle Fourth helped our company with a lot of things before leaving. He bought two new farms and introduced some machinery. The money was given by Uncle Fourth, and the company did not pay a penny."
Wu Shaoting nodded. In fact, Zhang Jian's actions could be considered to be an expansion of shares. However, he understood very well that Zhang Jian, as Zhang Xiaoya's elder, would definitely not care about these small things in order to encourage young people to be self-reliant.
He glanced at the clock against the wall in the office. It was already 1:40 p.m.
Zhang Xiaoya noticed this and asked quickly, "Are you leaving again? You have only been here for a while. I just came back from the farm and haven't had lunch yet. Let's have a meal together."
Wu Shaoting thought that although having dinner with Zhang Xiaoya would definitely make Zhang Zhi worry, if he could appear in public with Zhang Xiaoya, wouldn’t this prove his reason for entering the city today?
He smiled slightly, deliberately refused, and said, "It's not good, men and women have..."
Zhang Xiaoya suddenly became unhappy and interrupted with anger: "Are you kidding me? You are still a progressive young man who went abroad to study. I even opened a company. Are you still so conservative and worried about what to do if you have a meal with you?"
Wu Shaoting smiled helplessly and said, "Since that's the case, I'd better obey my destiny than respect. Oh, by the way, I wonder if Miss Zhang could give me the recent dividends of the company's profits? It's the Chinese New Year soon, and there are many things in the army that need to be managed."
Zhang Xiaoya nodded with understanding and smiled cutely: "I know you officials are the most troublesome. You have to deal with your boss and handle subordinates. It just so happens that there is a cash payment in the company today, so I'll ask the accountant to calculate it for you."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and shouted at the last row of desks: "Wan Yu, go to my desk to get the red bill, count the dividends from the deputy manager over the past few months, and then go and get the money."
The accountant named Wanyu is one of the few girls in the company, so she immediately responded to the task.
Ten minutes later, Wan Yu finished the settlement and walked out with a stack of oceans wrapped in a piece of silk silk.
"Deputy Manager, the dividends in the past two months should be 3,547 yuan, but after deducting the 1,500 bottles of juice last month, there are still 2,100 yuan left. The company's cash is not much, so I only raised 200 yuan first. If the deputy manager needs to raise them all, there will be some US dollars and pounds." Wan Yu said in a low voice, handing Dayang over with both hands.
Wu Shaoting seemed very surprised when he took this big bag of ocean. Wouldn't it be heavy and he couldn't hold so many silver coins in his pocket. Could it be that he would stagger back to the military camp with his money bag? He immediately said, "No need to have so much, I only have dozens of dollars."
So he asked Wan Yu to retreat another 140 oceans, and he only took out sixty oceans.
Wu Shaoting and Zhang Xiaoya left the company and had a Western meal at the Yonglu Hotel opposite. During the meal, Wu Shaoting asked Zhang Xiaoya in surprise. When he established the company, he only spent 700 yuan. He increased his profit several times in less than three months. Will there be any mistakes?
Zhang Xiaoya looked at Wu Shaoting's surprised look and couldn't help laughing. She told Wu Shaoting that the juice sold by the company is far from the profits it used to be, and the price of a bottle of juice is almost fifteen times the cost.
A pound of fruit costs only a few cents, and a pound can produce three to five bottles of juice. At the beginning, a bottle of juice was priced at 20 cents, but later the number of people ordered increased. In order to alleviate the excess order load, the price was raised to 30 cents and 5 cents. But I knew that the higher the price, the more orders were. Then Zhang Jian seized the opportunity and raised the sales price for the second time, and directly pushed it to 60 cents. Although the order quantity decreased a little at this time, in less than half a month, more long-term orders were welcomed.
Later, in order to better expand sales, Zhang Jian asked Zhang Xiaoya to divide juice into three levels: noble, high-quality and ordinary levels. This is defined according to the difference between the first juice, the second juice and the third juice, and the pricing is of course different. Up to now, the unit price of high-quality juice is one yuan and two cents per bottle, and it is exclusively for embassies, big hotels and government agencies. This level of juice accounts for almost half of the sales. Although the sales of high-quality and ordinary levels are also good, recently, due to the increase in production, these two levels have gradually accumulated goods. So Zhang Xiaoya came up with the idea of opening a retail store to promote the expansion of sales of these low-end juices.
After listening to Zhang Xiaoya's description, Wu Shaoting was deeply impressed. It seemed that it was really wise for him to cooperate with Zhang Xiaoya.
After lunch, Wu Shaoting sent Zhang Xiaoya back to the company, chatted for a few simple words and said goodbye.
Although Zhang Xiaoya didn't keep Wu Shaoting for much, her face seemed a little reluctant. As for why, maybe she didn't even know.
After Wu Shaoting said goodbye, he called a rickshaw to return to the western suburbs military camp.
When the coachman heard that he was going to leave the city, he seemed a little embarrassed and said that the city gates are now strictly checked and he will not let anyone leave the city casually.
Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "Just leave, I want to see who the hell dares to stop me!"
