Chapter 400 (1/2)
Lanshan manor is the top residential area in Pingchuan.
Although it is near the suburbs, there are many high-end restaurants near the manor.
Li Dong and Ji Lanxin choose a restaurant that looks good. After ordering a few dishes, they begin to talk.
After chatting for a while, Ji Lanxin suddenly sighed: ”business has become more and more difficult in recent years.”
Li Dong knew that she had something to say and said with a smile: ”no matter when business is difficult to do, you Jinding jewelry should be OK, after all, gold jewelry is always sought after.”
Ji Lanxin shook her head and said, ”I don't know if you don't do it. It's not easy to do it in the last two years. In May, the international gold price exceeded $700 ounces. At that time, everyone thought that according to the current market situation, the impact of 1000 US dollars might be expected, but in a flash of time, the gold price crashed down.
It's been a month. The price of gold has fallen by nearly $100 ounces, and Jinding has lost a lot this time. ”
Li Dong chuckled: ”gold is a value preservation product, and a temporary drop will not hurt.”. No accident. Next year, I'm afraid it will be another golden bull market. ”
Ji Lanxin was just beginning to complain, but Li Dong predicted that the golden bull market would come next year. How do you know
”Guess.”
Li Dong laughed, ate a mouthful of food and perfunctorily perfunctorily.
Ji Lanxin frowns slightly. Do people like Li Dong talk casually?
However, what Li Dong said is true, and Ji Lanxin does not believe it. The gold price is turbulent now. Most experts in the industry can not understand the rise and fall of next year or even the second half of this year. Why does Li Dong say that next year will usher in a gold bull market?
And just after the last bull market, gold prices have been rising from 2002 to May 2006.
Now that the price of gold has fallen, is it possible to usher in a new wave of bull market?
Believe it or not, Ji Lanxin did not ask again. Even if he did, Li Dong would not be able to say.
However, Ji Lanxin remembered Li Dong's words in his heart. Li Dong was not an ordinary person and would not talk about it casually. He judged that the gold price would continue to rise for a reason.
If you go back to study and consult experts, you can always judge the clues.
Without going on with this topic, Ji Lanxin doesn't come to Li Dong today to talk about the price of gold. She mainly wants to talk with Li Dong about the settlement of Jinding jewelry in the distance.
When Ji Lanxin mentioned this, Li Dong said, ”it's OK to talk about this, but first, how do you want to cooperate? Is it self operated by leasing counter or by supermarket
Ji Lanxin thought about it for a moment and asked, ”if you are self-employed, how much is the rent? How much is the entrance fee? How much do you deduct for consignment
Li Dong said casually: ”the rent and entrance fee all depend on the place, the size of the venue and the location of the store. I can't explain this a few words. However, if you sell on a commission basis, you can deduct 20 percent. ”
”Twenty percent?”
Ji Lanxi frowned slightly and thought, ”Mr. Li, I had contact with Kelong supermarket before. Their jewelry products generally have 10-12% discount points. Is 20% higher? ”
Li Dong said with a smile: ”Miss Ji, can Kelong compare with the distance? The monthly turnover of Kelong is less than one fifth of that in the distance, and the number of stores is less than one fifth of that in the distance. The popularity is even worse. In addition, there is an era of negotiation and acquisition in the distance. Once the acquisition era is successful, the influence from afar will spread to the whole East China region.
At that time, did you think 20% was still high?
How much profit can Kelong bring you? How much can it bring from afar? The two sides are not of the same magnitude. I'm afraid miss Ji's comparison with Hakka lung is not quite objective. ”
Ji Lanxin smiles and does not refute, but still says: ”it seems that Mr. Li is very confident of the success of the acquisition era?”
Li Dongli said of course: ”that's nature! At the end of this month, we will have a third round of negotiations with the times. Whether we can succeed or not and how confident we are, Miss Ji will know.
But at that time, those who came to talk about cooperation from afar were not the Jinding family. ”
Li Dong doesn't think his words are bad, because this is the reality.
At least in the current domestic market, supermarkets and hypermarkets occupy a dominant position, and other businesses are subordinate.
Jinding jewelry is not a giant in the jewelry industry. It's them who ask for help, not the supermarket in the distance.
Far away is already the leader of Jiangbei retail industry. Once the acquisition era is successful, the distant reputation will be better than before, and the influence will be extended to the whole East China region.
At that time, the merchants who wanted to cooperate with distant places would not be one or two. 20% was nothing. Li Dong could guarantee that someone would like to cooperate.
Gold jewelry is originally a big profit maker. If the supermarket sells it on a commission basis, it saves the expenses of stores and employees, and 20% of the sales is not high.
If the tax is deducted, in fact, Li Dong does not earn much.
Of course, cooperation is not just a way. Li Dong and Ji Lanxin are just talking at the beginning. As for how many points to collect, how to collect them, and whether there are any performance requirements, we need to discuss them in detail in the future.Li Dong understood this truth, and Ji Lanxin naturally knew it.
The reason why she is in a hurry to talk to Li Dong about cooperation is that she wants to catch up before the era of distant acquisition.
Once the distant acquisition era is successful, it will be a bit late for Jinding jewelry to discuss cooperation. It is better to cooperate with Li Dong when it is not clear whether the remote acquisition can succeed or not, so as to strive for the maximum interests.
However, the 20% yield is indeed beyond Ji Lanxin's estimate. I have to go back and discuss it with my father.
Ji Lanxin thought for a moment and said, ”Mr. Li, I'll go back and discuss whether to sell on our own or on a commission basis. Why don't you go back and arrange for someone to talk with the business administration in the distance
Li Dong didn't care. He nodded and said, ”yes, I'll say hello to the business management department when I go back.”
Li Dong doesn't care if he can cooperate with Jinding jewelry.
Small and medium-sized jewelry enterprises are not one or two, but there is only one in Jiangbei far away. Whoever talks about it will have the same effect. Without Jinding, Yinding is the same.
At least for the time being, these small and medium-sized jewelry enterprises have no capital to refuse.
The next two people did not continue to talk about business, but began to chat.
Just chatting, there was a burst of laughter outside the restaurant.
Without booking a box, Li Dong and Ji Lanxin sat in the hall and could see the door at a glance.
Li Dong took a glance and withdrew his eyes. At the door, there were only a few women talking and laughing around a man. Li Dong didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.
He didn't care, but Ji Lanxin paid close attention to it.
When the man and several women all the way into the private room with a smile, Ji Lanxin said with a slight disdain: ”this kind of Playboy can also take over Longhua. Xu Jianghua is really old.”
”Well?” Li Dong stopped eating and asked, ”Xu Rulong?”
Ji Lanxin was surprised and said, ”Mr. Li doesn't know him?”
Li Dong shook his head and said, ”I haven't met, but I've heard about it several times. How did he come here? ”
Ji Lanxin said unexpectedly: ”he should have just got up. He also has a house in Lanshan manor. Those women should be with him.”
Li Dong smiles, but he admires Xu Rulong.
Just after he had a look, there were three women in total. This guy can really bear it. Three a day, and he's not afraid to hang himself up.
Seeing that Li Dong didn't speak, Ji Lanxin said curiously: ”Mr. Li and Mr. Xu Shengzhe are good friends. I'd like to ask you. Is it true that Xu Jianghua wants to hand Longhua over to Xu Rulong?”
Li Dong said with a smile, ”I really don't know what Xu Jianghua is going to make. Except for himself, I'm afraid no one knows.”
”I think the rumor is true. I'll know the name of Longhua.”
