Chapter 1026 It Is Easy to Add Icing on the Cake, but There Are Too Few People Who Help in Times of Need.
Lu Jingxing didn't come back until Ji Ling was ready to go to bed.
"How is it? Is Xiaobai in a serious condition? Why did you come back at this time?" Ji Ling heard the sound of the door opening, and ran out with a pillow in her arms. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes, and looked at Lu Jingxing who was changing shoes barefoot.
Lu Jingxing raised his head and looked at her from head to toe: "Didn't you blow dry your hair? You will have a headache tomorrow."
"Ah, I turned on the fan, and the hair dryer was too hot. How is Xiaobai?" Ji Ling didn't expect him to ask her back, so she asked again.
"It's fine, just a little indigestion, observe it for another two days, just gave it some probiotics, took an X-ray and checked it, and it's fine..." Lu Jingxing walked closer with a smile.
"Then why did you come back now?" Ji Ling leaned her head on his hand like a kitten.
"A puppet came who swallowed a foreign body, and I helped to take it out before I came back." Lu Jingxing pulled Ji Ling to the sink, took out the hair dryer and blew her hair very easily.
Ji Ling's hair was very smooth and slippery, just like it had been straightened, black and shiny, Lu Jingxing liked the feeling of his fingers running through her hairline.
Seeing him blow her, Ji Ling couldn't say that she was afraid of the heat, so she stood in front of the mirror and let him play with her obediently.
"What did it swallow?" Ji Ling asked.
"You definitely can't guess..." Speaking of the puppet that swallowed foreign objects, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but shake his head and laughed helplessly.
"Huh?" There were too many, Ji Ling really couldn't guess.
"It swallowed a needle, the kind of dress needle, and it also had a long thread..." Lu Jingxing said.
"Ah? Swallowed it into the stomach? How did the owner find out?" Ji Ling turned around with eyes wide open, also in disbelief.
"The problem is that it was not swallowed into the stomach, the needle did not go down, it pierced the upper palate, and it was completely inserted, and then the thread went into the stomach. When the owner brought it over, he said that the little guy had not eaten for a day. We didn't know what was going on. We thought it was indigestion like Xiaobai at first, and we took an X-ray and found that there was a long thread in its stomach, one end of the thread was in the stomach, and the other end was in the mouth." Lu Jingxing was a little confused at the time.
Because the needle was completely invisible, we had to take another X-ray of the head, and found that one end of the thread was a needle, and the needle was completely inserted on the upper palate a little in front of the cat's throat, and the whole thing was inserted.
The owner called back and asked and found out that the old man in the family sewed the quilt in the morning, and then didn't see the needle. He thought it fell somewhere and couldn't see it. After searching for a while, he didn't find it, so he gave up. No one dreamed that it was in the cat's stomach.
The final result was that Lu Jingxing did it himself. After giving the little guy anesthesia, he slowly clipped out the needle. Clipping the needle was just the first step. The difficult part was that he found that he had swallowed the needle for a long time. The thread on the needle butt was almost one meter long. It was all in the stomach and rolled up. But the thread could not be rolled up when he pulled it. He could only pull it out slowly. If he pulled it too fast, he was afraid of cutting the little guy's stomach and esophagus. So it seemed like a small operation, but it took almost two hours.
But the final result was still very good. The little guy woke up and recovered from the anesthesia. He was discharged on the spot.
Ji Ling was stunned when he heard him say: "Have you checked Xiaobai carefully? Will it be the same situation?"
Lu Jingxing sneered: "This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. How can it be so coincidental?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry..." Ji Ling pouted.
Lu Jingxing kissed her pouting lips: "Don't worry, I've checked it all over, it must be fine. I fed it when I left, and it has started eating. Maybe it has been eating the cat food for a long time, and it just wants to change its taste." He said with a smile.
"Oh, that's good, you take a shower, you have to get up early tomorrow, change your clothes, I'll wash them for you." Ji Ling smiled and pushed him to the bathroom.
"I haven't taken out the change of clothes yet..." Lu Jingxing was locked in the door by Ji Ling and shouted.
"I put it on the clothes rack for you, throw out the clothes you want to change, I'll go to the laundry room to wash them." Ji Ling doesn't like to use a washing machine to wash clothes in summer, usually hand-washing them. At the beginning, she didn't expect that Lu Jingxing also had this habit.
So, there is a washing machine at home, but it is rarely used in summer, and both of them wash their clothes by hand.
Usually, they both wash their own clothes. It was a little late today. Ji Ling felt that she and Lu Jingxing had already established their relationship. It should be okay to help him with such a small matter of washing clothes. Besides, this should be what a girlfriend should do, she thought to herself.
Lu Jingxing smiled and threw out the clothes outside: "Then it will be hard..."
He hummed a song after saying that.
Ji Ling blushed and picked up the clothes and went to the laundry room.
When Lu Jingxing came out of the shower, Ji Ling had just finished washing the clothes. Lu Jingxing picked up the clothes and started to dry them.
"Oh, this is my ideal married life..." Lu Jingxing teased.
"You..." Ji Ling stomped her feet with a red face, trotted back to her room, and never came out again.
After Lu Jingxing finished drying the clothes, he knocked on her door with a smile: "Good night, see you tomorrow..."
The next day, Ji Ling came to the kitchen with a fluffy head and saw Lu Jingxing wearing an apron underneath: "Why are you here so early?"
Lu Jingxing turned around and said with a smile: "Good morning, did you sleep well last night?"
Ji Ling nodded: "Well, why are you here so early? I got up early on purpose to make breakfast. How come you are here earlier than me?"
"It's necessary. You're going to school soon. I have to make you breakfast for the last two days. Go wash up and start eating soon." Lu Jingxing smiled and scratched her nose.
After the two had breakfast, they went back to the first store, held a regular meeting, and then rushed to the second store.
The place we went to this time was a bit far, so Lu Jingxing took Black Tiger with him.
Although there are four of them, Lu Jingxing always likes to take the black tiger with him whenever he goes to an unfamiliar place, as if this way he feels more secure.
Yang Pei and Lu Yin also arrived at the second store early.
Ji Ling saw Lu Yin and joked: "Did you deal with him last night?"
Lu Yin's face turned red: "Why are you so naughty?"
Ji Ling laughed loudly: "Hey, I'm sorry."
The two hugged each other and laughed together.
With the four of us together, the road was bustling, and the several-hour drive felt like it had arrived very quickly.
"It should be in front. The navigation shows that we will be there soon." Ji Ling looked at the navigation and pointed to the front and said.
Lu Jingxing nodded: "Probably."
There are actually quite a few processing plants in this place, which Lu Jingxing didn't expect. It looks like a newly developed industrial park.
When he arrived at the factory gate, before he could make a call, he saw a man in formal clothes coming up to him: "Mr. Lu, this is Chai Jianming who is contacting you. Thank you for coming all the way." He came over excitedly and asked Lu Jingxing shook hands.
Lu Jingxing shook his hand and introduced him: "This is our administrative officer Xiao Ji, this is Dr. Yang Pei, the manager of our second store, and this is Dr. Yang's girlfriend."
"Hello, hello, come on, come in quickly..." Chai Jianming shook hands with Yang Pei, nodded to Ji Ling and Lu Yin, and led a few people in.
As he walked, he introduced to Lu Jingxing: "We are actually a processing factory. Our main meat is white-feathered chicken. Generally, white-feathered chickens are about forty-two days old. From the SGS-certified processing plant, they are cleaned at high temperatures, and the hair is automatically removed. The chicken legs and wings are then transported to our factory for processing..."
Several people entered the second floor of the workshop directly. From the second floor, they could see the interior of the entire factory.
The scale of the factory is not large. Chai Jianming said: "My initial investment in this factory was almost a million yuan. There are two extruders. I have always required that the raw materials must be good, but now the sales are not very good."
Apart from asking a few questions from time to time, Lu Jingxing spent most of his time listening to Chai Jianming.
He has done his homework. The cat food and dog food market is relatively saturated now, and the brands are uneven. It is not easy for a processing factory to succeed.
The main problem for Chai Jianming and the others was not only the sales issue, but also the conflict between several partners. Two of them were unwilling to join the partnership for their own reasons and asked to withdraw their shares.
Because the factory has always been half-operated, with a lot of initial investment, it has not made much profit for two or three years now. Therefore, the shareholders are unwilling to invest any more money. Chai Jianming became a lone hero, but he did not If you don’t have a strong family background, you won’t be able to support it.
He said with a somewhat gloomy face: "Now we need to pay for raw materials in cash, but we may not be able to get the money back immediately when we ship the goods. Gradually, it becomes more and more difficult."
After walking around the entire factory, several people returned to his office.
After sitting down, Lu Jingxing asked some more professional questions, such as how many workers there are now, what is the approximate output per day, what are his current plans, whether the opinions of several shareholders are unified, etc.
After nearly two hours of communication, Lu Jingxing felt confident.
Seeing that they had almost understood each other, they stood up and left.
"It's dinner time soon, why don't you stay and have a quick meal before leaving? My house is nearby..." Chai Jianming stood up, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave Lu Jingxing and the others.
"No, let's go to the county town. I'll give you an answer within a week at the latest. Can you see if the price is still low? I also need to discuss this matter with our shareholders. To be honest with you, your factory is very important to us. It's still a bit small. The production volume may only be enough for our own production. If I want to sell it to outsiders, I may have to invest, so I have to go back and discuss it to see what the shareholders think." Lu Jingxing told the truth.
"Okay, okay, I understand. Thank you for your support. I'm really sorry to bother you all to travel so far. It's such an indifference." Chai Jianming sent everyone to the car and kept thanking him.
Back in the car, Yang Pei said: "He is a factory director, how can he be so humble? How can he be a boss?"
"It's hard to make money now. He invested so much here, all with loans, and mortgaged his own house. Now if those shareholders want to drain his salary, he won't be able to get up. If no one takes over the factory, his equipment can only be sold as scrap metal. Even if the factory is rented out, it won't make much money, and it will be even harder to sell it after he signed a thirty-year contract." Lu Jingxing shook his head. .
"He also said that those shareholders are good friends with him and are related to each other. How could they just watch him like this?" Ji Ling didn't understand.
"People are all realistic. He has not improved in the past few years. People can't see hope. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but there are too few people who provide help in times of need." Lu Yin said.
"Hey, it is indeed true. This is reality." Ji Ling sighed slightly.
"I have calculated that his current output for this day may be just enough for our three stores. But if we really take over, we will definitely need to add more machines. This investment may be more than what he has taken over his factory now. The total price is still higher, so we have to do some calculations to see if this can be done. However, I have also calculated that if we all buy goods directly from the manufacturer, the price difference is actually not a small expense. Lu Jingxing thought for a while and said.
"I think I can do this. When you were talking just now, I roughly calculated the cost. It was calculated based on his current output. After adding all expenses, it was calculated based on current labor. It would be better than if we just go and get it directly. The price of the finished product is also much more affordable. As for the machine, it depends on how it is done..." Ji Ling continued what Lu Jingxing said.
"Then if you both think it can be done, go ahead. Anyway, our demand will only increase in the future. This Chai Jianming seems to be a real person. According to his plan, he will continue to manage the production in the factory and no longer If he needs to go out to run business, this should be okay," Yang Pei also said.
Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I think so too. It's okay for the factory to be here. It's just over two hours' drive away. There are not only factories but also warehouses here. The rent is much cheaper than in Long'an, and the factories and warehouses are also there." He has also dealt with it, and it will be no problem even if we buy goods. If we start all over again, the investment will only be greater. "
"Then there's nothing to hesitate about. Just make up your mind." Yang Pei stretched out and said, "Let's find a place to eat first. After riding in the car for several hours and walking around the factory for several hours, I'm really hungry. ”
"Okay..." Lu Jingxing drawled and said with a smile.
A few people found a local restaurant, ordered a local chicken and some home-cooked dishes, and had a happy meal.
In the afternoon, I walked around the local area a few more times. The more I walked around, the more satisfied I was with this place. The transportation is convenient and the highway is not far away. When I came here, I took the national highway for more than two hours. When I went back, I took the highway and it only took an hour and a half. .
The next day, Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling worked out the plan, and he personally went to Song Weiyuan's company to find Song Weiyuan.
Anyway, regarding investment matters, he had to go to him. It didn't mean that he had to invest, but for this kind of thing, he felt that he should go to this person who specialized in investment to see if he could do it.
Of course, there is Zhao Jingming, but for Zhao Jingming, usually just make a phone call to talk about the situation, because he can't give any advice. At most, he can just tell you to do it, and I will ask the old man how much money you need.
