Come on! Come on! Come on!
In the early morning, just after dawn, Gu Jia woke up to the sound of roosters crowing. When he opened the door, there was still a thin mist floating in the air, and the mountains and villages in the distance were hazy.
Gu Jia stood on the second floor and stretched for a long time, taking a deep breath of fresh air, and the sleepiness in her mind was suddenly swept away.
After having a simple breakfast at the village chief's house, Gu Jia was led by the village chief to the tea factory and visited inside and out.
It is said to be a tea factory, but in fact it is just a larger residential house. Everything is very primitive. There are bamboo sieves, bamboo baking cages, bamboo green shaking machines, and cast iron pots for frying tea. There are almost no modern tea-making machines.
After walking around, Gu Jia not only did not get angry because of the primitiveness of the tools, but instead had a satisfied smile on her face.
What she values is originality. Which one is more sought after, a purely handmade product or an assembly line product? Who is more distinctive? Who is more expensive?
With the progress of society, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and some people are beginning to pursue higher-level quality, such as pure hand-made products. Only pure hand-made products can demonstrate the spirit of craftsmanship.
This was what Gu Jia was looking for at the beginning!
However, the moment she saw the tea factory accounts, Gu Jia's joy suddenly disappeared!
What?
Is the tea factory losing money?
What?
Has the organic label expired?
What?
Are there two more lawsuits involved?
Wow!
Wow!
Gu Jia flipped through the documents faster and faster. The more he read, the colder his heart became. His expression became uglier, and even his breathing became heavier.
Snapped!
Gu Jia was furious for a moment, grabbed the documents on the table and threw them hard.
At this time, Village Chief Yang was sorting out information not far away. He was startled by Gu Jia's sudden action. He looked around and saw Gu Jia's angry look. He quickly put down the information in his hand and trotted away. past.
"Daughter, what's wrong?"
"You... you...!"
Gu Jia was so angry that he stood up suddenly, pointed at the village chief and asked him, "Why are you lying?"
But when the words came to her lips, she immediately choked them back.
She asked herself that she still had some reputation for knowing people. Looking at the village chief's behavior, he didn't seem like the kind of person who was full of lies. Besides, he was just a part-time worker. This anger should not be vented on him.
After regaining his composure, Gu Jia took a few deep breaths and said coldly.
"Village Chief Yang, I just took a look. The tea factory has been losing money every year for the past two years, and the organic label has expired. In addition, there are two lawsuits being filed. Please tell me about these things in detail."
"Forehead?"
Village Chief Yang looked stunned, with a trace of doubt on his face. He originally thought that the other party should know this information. After all, it was a multi-million dollar business. There was no reason why he should not know these basic information.
However, he felt the chill radiating from Gu Jia's body, and despite his doubts, he answered Gu Jia's question.
"Daughter, the tea factory has indeed suffered losses in the past two years, but I can assure you that the reason for the losses is definitely not because of the tea. Our tea is all good tea."
"Stop, just tell me the reason!"
At this time, Gu Jia had no intention of continuing to listen to anything else. She just wanted to understand the situation as soon as possible.
"well."
Village Chief Yang looked up, sighed, and nodded helplessly.
"The tea factory is losing money because there are fewer dealers. The original boss can't come once a year. I don't know the specific reason. We are all from the mountains. We only manage tea. We don't control other things, and we don't Understand."
"I really don't know what organic label you are talking about. Our factory has not stopped production during this year's tea picking season."
"As for the lawsuit, I don't know much about it. Usually these things are handled by people appointed by Mrs. Li. Some time ago, Mrs. Li called me and told me that the tea factory had a new owner, and she asked Zhu Min."
"Oh, Zhu Min is the person sent by Mrs. Li. He basically comes once a month. Every time he comes to pay wages to the villagers, Mrs. Li asks him to prepare the handover documents, and then he leaves and never comes again."
Seeing that Village Chief Yang wanted to say something else, Gu Jia waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him.
The other party obviously didn't know the inside story of the tea factory, so he probably wouldn't have much to say if he continued to ask.
To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell had to be tied. She took over the tea factory from Mrs. Li. She didn't believe that Mrs. Li didn't know about these problems in the tea factory.
Even if Mrs. Li rarely comes to the tea factory, the people she sends will report to her.
Based on the current situation analysis, I was obviously cheated in this transaction!
As great as the expectations are, there will be great disappointments. Originally, Gu Jia was thinking that he could open up a new source of income for his small family through the tea factory business.
Who would have expected that this is a trap!
Gu Jia knew very well what was going on at the Fireworks Company, and it was very difficult to come up with the transfer fee. According to the current situation of the tea factory, if you want to turn a loss into a profit, early investment is definitely indispensable.
Although Gu Jia has never been in the tea business, she also knows that it will definitely cost a lot to rebuild a distribution system.
If nothing else, you have to make at least one trip to each city. It is impossible to get a dealer with just one phone call, and the preliminary work cannot be left to others.
She had to travel to several or even a dozen cities by herself, because she didn’t understand this industry at all. If it was all left to the salesmen, how would you set tasks for people, how would you assess performance, and how would you be able to set tasks for people and assess their performance when your eyes were completely dark? Reimburse someone?
The difficulties faced by tea factories now do not end there. Although the best tea picking season has passed, summer tea is coming, and after summer tea comes autumn tea.
Although summer tea and autumn tea are not as good as spring tea, the tea gardens cannot be left abandoned.
Workers’ wages cannot be suspended during this period, right?
Gu Jia looked at the account books and knew that the existing distribution system was unreliable. Before the new distribution system was established, at least half of this batch of tea would have to be backlogged in the warehouse.
The most critical point is that because Gu Jia doesn't understand it, he can't estimate how much time and money it will take to build a new distribution system.
The unknown is the scariest thing!
At this moment, Gu Jia felt bitter, hateful, and extremely regretful.
My best friend’s husband has advised me, my best friend Zhong Xiaoqin has advised me, my husband Xu Huanshan has advised me, why don’t I listen to the advice?
Why insist on having your own way?
After a while, Gu Jia, who had been standing there for a long time, suddenly took out his mobile phone and dialed Mrs. Li's number.
beep!
beep!
The call was quickly connected, and Mrs. Li on the other side seemed to have expected it. Not only did she not apologize, but she 'educated' Gu Jia in a domineering manner.
'I have provided everything I need to provide! '
'Everything is formal. '
'I didn't want to hand over the factory to you at the beginning. It was you who begged me to take over the factory, and you signed it willingly. '
'The factory is yours now and has nothing to do with me. I wish you a prosperous business. '
'Oh, by the way, don't forget to call me for the transfer fee of 1.5 million, there is a contract. '
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jia, standing under the morning sun, felt her hands and feet were cold, and waves of chills kept rising from the bottom of her heart, as if she were standing in a world of ice and snow.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered, this is a game!
A game specifically targeted at her!
The person in charge was not just Mrs. Li, but several people, who united to deal with her.
Gu Jia originally thought that this group of ladies only looked glamorous, but in fact they were just idiots. They only knew how to intrigue and compare with each other.
However, it was these ladies whom she looked down upon who gave her a severe blow!
Now how to do?
