DF Chapter 38
by VolareChapter 38 I just saw Sheng Jia smile, she must be laughing at me.
Soon it was Friday, and Song Ji’an and Sheng Jia agreed on a time to travel together. On Fridays, they usually get off half a day early to make it easier for boarding students to go home. Of course, they could also choose to stay for self-study. In the past, they would basically choose to stay for self-study on Friday afternoons, but this time several people left the school gate early.
Song Ji’an had already contacted Auntie Liu to drive them to the airport. Everyone had brought their luggage to school in the morning and left directly after leaving the school.
This time, Auntie Liu rented a seven-seater commercial vehicle. Several people changed out of their school uniforms and into casual clothes in the school. On the way to Sanzhong to pick up Song Yi, Song Ji’an took out the tablet and casually pulled up the plan she had made.
“The professionals over there are already in place. I asked them to start checking the accounts tonight. My contract with the factory director is signed until the end of this month. The main purpose of going there this time is to talk about the renewal.” Song Ji’an introduced: “Last year, this factory had the highest economic benefits and the best sales among all the factories I invested in. In fact, I intend to buy it directly and become the sole shareholder, but the current factory director has the technology in her hands. In the beginning, this factory was opened with her technology shares and her friends. Later, the two of them broke up over the distribution of benefits, so she raised money herself and bought the entire factory.”
“Last year, because she invested too much, she was unable to produce for a while and fell into a predicament of broken capital chains. I saw her investment request, so I contacted her, but in the end, I decided to adopt a cooperative method to distribute with her. First of all, because I am not sure whether the investment will generate losses, but if I help her bear part of the production costs, I can directly get the products and sell them with her. I plan to try this for a year before making a decision. This year, I account for half of her total production capacity. This was the least risky way for both me and her at the time.”
“But later her sales channels were opened up, and she even bought out my half. The current situation is that she has money, but I want to directly invest in shares. The equity I want exceeds her expectations, so we need to continue to negotiate, and we are going there to talk about this matter.”
“So what is your minimum goal this time?” Sheng Jia asked.
Song Ji’an replied bluntly: “At least inject capital to get 40% of the equity. The highest idea is of course to take it all, but this seems a bit unethical, so try to talk first.”
As they were chatting, they soon picked up Song Yi. It was the first time for a group of girls to go to other places in such a large group. Although they all wanted to appear calm, they still had suppressed excitement and joy.
This made Sheng Jia, who had been quietly reading the tablet in the back row from beginning to end, seem a little out of place.
She had just taken the tablet handed over by Song Ji’an and was very interested in some of the professional terms on it, so she couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
Although there were only some plan tables and background introductions made by Song Ji’an on it, it opened the door to another world for her, causing her to subconsciously work hard to absorb knowledge.
Soon they arrived at the airport. Auntie Liu took off her sunglasses and said softly, “Little Song, we’re here.”
This title made Xu Lijing and the others couldn’t help but joke.
“Little Song, I’ll open the door for you,” Xu Lijing said with a smile after jumping out of the car, “Let’s move luggage for Little Song.”
“That’s right,” Song Yi also joined in the fun, “Come, Little Song, give me your hand, I’ll help you get out of the car.”
Su Zhaolin couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Song Ji’an’s ears turned red from the teasing, but probably because she had already been teased by Sheng Jia in the cafe, she was able to calmly walk down this time and responded pretentiously, “Is that so? Then Little Song wants to drink water now!”
Su Zhaolin quickly unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it over, “Little Song, please drink.”
Song Ji’an smiled, “Little Song also wants to eat ice cream and seafood.”
“Okay,” Xu Lijing pushed her and laughed, “Then you should just be Song Ji’an, where can we get seafood and ice cream.”
“Yeah, it’s good to have water to drink, what are you asking for?” Song Yi also said.
“Little Song only has the preferential treatment of this bottle of water?” Song Ji’an shook her head, “Then it is indeed more cost-effective to be Song Ji’an.”
Everyone burst into laughter. Sheng Jia, who came down last from the back of the car, couldn’t help but curl her lips under this atmosphere. She was immediately caught by Song Ji’an, who complained: “I just saw Sheng Jia smile, she must be laughing at me.”
“I didn’t,” Sheng Jia: “You saw it wrong.”
“I didn’t see it wrong,” Song Ji’an muttered, but the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up high.
Auntie Liu accompanied them to put their luggage on the airport trolley and then left. They had to walk the rest of the way by themselves.
Several people quickly boarded the plane. Song Ji’an wanted to upgrade everyone to first class, but Xu Lijing and the others rejected it. They chose business class. After entering, it was very quiet. Song Ji’an took out her eye mask and told them: “Let’s sleep first, there is still a long way to go after we get off the plane.”
“Is the factory far away?” Su Zhaolin asked.
So far, they don’t know what kind of factory it is, let alone where it is located. Song Ji’an only prepared tickets to Luoling for them, and knew nothing else.
“It’s quite far.” Song Ji’an nodded.
Several people didn’t say much. This flight was four hours long, and there was plenty of time to rest.
Only Sheng Jia, who was sitting in the corner, glanced at Song Ji’an thoughtfully.
Coincidentally, Song Ji’an turned her head, and the two people’s eyes met. Song Ji’an mouthed to her.
——Good afternoon, Sheng Jia.
Before the plane landed, Xu Lijing and the others were still dreaming of going out to play. After the plane landed, they realized that they were still too naive.
Song Ji’an, this person, looks reliable and stable, but in reality, she is still playing tricks on them.
This was the only sentence they thought of after they got off the taxi, took the train, took the bus, and took the tractor.
After arriving at the destination – Lao Nong Pig Farm, they finally knew why Song Ji’an didn’t tell them what kind of factory it was from the beginning.
The eyes of the people who were still excited when they set off were shocked when they saw the factory full of sand and dust.
They didn’t tell them when they came that the factory Song Ji’an invested in was a pig farm!
“It’s because you didn’t ask me,” Song Ji’an was also covered in dust, but she was in better spirits than the others. She was like this the last time she came, but this time she was prepared.
“My God, why would you invest in a pig farm?” Xu Lijing was stunned, “And such a remote pig farm.”
“Because it makes money, pork prices rose sharply last year. The black pork here is of good quality. After finding a sales channel, you can sell as much as you raise.” Song Ji’an said with a little pride, “I have a super good eye. In the beginning, the factory director found many investors who ignored her. Only I had a good eye and made this much money in half a year.”
She compared a five, and Song Yi casually said: “Fifty thousand?”
“It’s five million.” Song Ji’an said with a smile.
“Five million?”
This number made everyone wake up.
“You should have said it earlier if you had this price.” Xu Lijing immediately cheered up.
“Isn’t this trying to give you a surprise?” Song Ji’an pointed out.
Su Zhaolin nodded with lingering fear, “There was no surprise, but it was quite a shock. It’s so far away, I almost thought you were going to sell us into the mountains.”
Standing at the gate of the factory, they could hear the pigs calling inside. While waiting, she turned her head and asked, “Sheng Jia, what are you looking at?”
“Looking at when we can go in,” Sheng Jia replied.
“Sheng Jia is still great, she’s still as calm as usual.” Xu Lijing sighed.
Sheng Jia heard the words and turned her head to look at them strangely.
“What’s wrong?” Xu Lijing asked.
Sheng Jia then said: “Song Ji’an wrote in the plan she showed us in the morning that she invested in the characteristic industries of Luoling, and demand soared last year. There are only three characteristic industries in Luoling: precision steel manufacturing, breeding industry, and coal mines.”
“The prices of the first two have not fluctuated much in the past two years. Among the breeding industries, only pork breeding soared last year, because watered pork and swine flu were exposed the year before. Pork prices plummeted once. Song Ji’an invested when pork prices were at their lowest. Last year, the swine flu ended, and the case of watered pork was also judged. Pork prices rebounded, and there was a situation of supply exceeding demand, because many people gave up this industry the year before.”
“After matching them one by one, it is not difficult to guess what kind of factory it is.”
After listening, Song Yi was convinced and gave her a thumbs up, “Is this what a top student is? Too awesome.”
“It’s not because I’m a top student, it’s because you didn’t look carefully,” Sheng Jia pointed out bluntly, “You can also know after reading it.”
“I was too excited to go out and play,” Su Zhaolin said in shame: “We will definitely read it carefully next time.”
Speaking of which, they are indeed going out to work, but the age of seventeen or eighteen is the time to make noise, and a group of people are chatting together, how can they have the mind to read the plan, only Sheng Jia has the determination to read Song Ji’an’s information word by word, that is a full eight pages of information, and it is still the standard small No. 5 font, and there is no clear factory and subject, which makes people dizzy.
In fact, their reaction is normal, Sheng Jia’s reaction is abnormal, otherwise how can she maintain such a long-term first place? This concentration makes others ashamed.
Song Ji’an answered a phone call with a smile, and then interrupted the conversation of several people, “The factory director will come out to pick us up soon, everyone will have to stay in the staff dormitory for a while today?”
“Later we can visit the factory’s new fully automated pig breeding equipment together.”
As soon as her words fell, a woman wearing a floral shirt and black trousers, and a straw hat walked out of the factory.
She is not very tall, only about 1.58 meters, with wheat-colored skin and some freckles on her face. When she sees them, she smiles and has two dimples on her lips.
“Little Song, you’re here?”
The factory director’s name is Liu Yishan. She is the first college student in the village and a college student who was admitted to Tsinghua University. But after graduation, she and her friends decided to return to their hometown to start a business, and that’s how this pig farm was established. The name of the pig farm is actually her friend’s name. Her friend’s surname is Nong. Later, after she took over the pig farm, she did not change the name.
There is a whole building of staff dormitories in the factory. Song Ji’an is a distinguished guest. The professionals who came before Liu Yishan arranged for them to live in rooms for four people. Song Ji’an and the others were arranged to live in double rooms and triple rooms.
From debt to now, the scale of Lao Nong Pig Farm has expanded five times, and the number of employees has increased from the original seven or eight to more than thirty now, and the overall has become much more professional.
But equipment upgrades mean more investment, which is why Liu Yishan is willing to accept Song Ji’an’s formal investment, she needs money.
How far this negotiation can go depends on the abilities of both parties.
