Chapter 674
The villa is located in the middle of greenery.
The sun shines through the intertwined branches and leaves, the environment is quiet and pleasant, and every detail shows luxury and comfort.
When He Yuzhu stepped into the house with great anticipation.
An ecstatic news came - Sally's company successfully won a new batch of orders.
The order quantity is quite substantial.
A careful look at the details reveals that it covers a variety of electronic products ranging from smartphone accessories to smart wearable devices.
This is undoubtedly an extremely bright and good sign.
This means that the company's production lines will operate at full capacity for some time to come, and the business side will be very busy.
He Yuzhu has been working in the business field for many years.
We are well aware that benefits and returns are closely linked, and there is no such thing as free gain in the world.
He didn't show any shyness when facing Sally.
Be explicit about your intention to ask for a favor.
He walked quickly forward and gently picked up the well-behaved and cute child who was looking around curiously with his big eyes.
An imperceptible cunning flashed across his face, and then he walked straight towards the bathroom with steady steps, as if he was going to start a unique "education" in this private space, and planned to last the whole night.
In the misty bathroom, passion surged like a tide.
After a fierce lovemaking, both of them were breathless, a little tired both physically and mentally, but they could not hide their satisfaction.
They slowly moved to the bed and lay down together.
At this moment, the room was filled with a warm and ambiguous atmosphere, and the light shone softly on them, adding a touch of charm to the scene.
He Yuzhu rested his head comfortably on his arms.
Suddenly, an extremely important question flashed through his mind. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes filled with concern as he asked softly, "How's the food procurement going?"
Last year, when he returned to the mainland with full enthusiasm.
The leaders highly recognized his previous outstanding achievements and specially gave him a 10,000-ton ship.
The giant ship has a majestic appearance, smooth hull lines, and shining metallic luster all over its body, exuding a cold and majestic atmosphere in the sun.
To him, this ship is of extraordinary significance. It is not only an extremely precious gift given by the leader, a symbol of honor and trust, but also an important link connecting commercial exchanges between the mainland and the outside world.
After that, he traveled back and forth to different sea areas many times with this huge ship.
It has successfully shipped the mainland's specialty products to overseas markets, and has also introduced advanced technology, equipment and scarce resources from outside, injecting continuous vitality into the mainland's economic development.
So he thought about it carefully.
This ship, carrying commercial expectations, was carefully placed under the name of Huo Yingdong's large and influential shipping company.
The ship has since operated exclusively between Hong Kong and Los Angeles.
It has opened a business journey full of opportunities and challenges.
On the voyage to Los Angeles.
The ship was loaded with a wide variety of supplies carefully collected from all over Southeast Asia. These supplies were astonishingly rich, like a huge treasure trove of living and production resources, covering all aspects of life.
Among them are various daily necessities that people cannot live without in their daily lives.
From exquisite tableware to soft bedding, from convenient cleaning products to fashionable clothing, everything is available; there are also various raw materials necessary for the smooth development of industrial production, such as metal ores, chemical raw materials, wood and paper products, etc., without any omission.
However, when the ship embarked on its return journey from Los Angeles to Hong Kong.
The situation has changed significantly.
Part of the cargo on the ship was used to purchase various raw materials locally in the United States.
These raw materials are carefully selected to meet the booming domestic production and construction needs, injecting strong impetus into domestic industrial development.
The other part of the cargo space is fully utilized to load food.
Domestically, it is based on long-term stable and scientifically reasonable agricultural policies, as well as efficient and powerful market regulation mechanisms.
Food prices have remained at a fairly stable level. Generally speaking, food prices are basically stable at around one cent. This price has greatly guaranteed the basic living needs of the general public and maintained social stability and harmony.
In sharp contrast.
Food is much more expensive in the United States.
Especially in recent years, the United States has had favorable climatic conditions and has achieved considerable crop harvests.
Take wheat as an example. Its price is relatively high, generally maintained at US$1.45 per bushel. Such price difference has also become an important consideration in cargo allocation on this route.
The bushel is a unit of volume unique to the United States.
Its concept is similar to the sheng and dou in ancient China and is widely used in the field of grain measurement.
The specific conversion is that one bushel is equal to 27.216 kilograms.
After precise conversion, the price of wheat per kilogram is only 5.32 cents.
Corn prices fell as low as 2.38 cents.
Converted to the common unit of jin, the price of one jin of wheat is about 0.207 yuan.
The price of one pound of corn is about 0.093 yuan.
It should be emphasized that the prices mentioned here are FOB prices only.
Only covers the cost of the goods until they cross the ship's rail at the port of shipment.
Other subsequent costs such as freight and insurance are not included.
In the actual trade process, these additional costs, such as sea freight during transportation and insurance premiums for the safety of goods, will accumulate layer by layer.
Once these costs are added, the final cost of food increases significantly.
Even so, after all costs are taken into account, the price is still high compared to domestic food prices.
However, considering the complex situation of domestic food supply and demand, the country still needs to spend a lot of foreign exchange on food procurement.
The move aims to ensure the stable operation of the domestic food supply chain.
Ensure that the most basic food needs of people's daily lives are met.
Maintain social stability and people's livelihood.
He Yuzhu was in the middle of this complicated situation, actively planning in the dark.
Cleverly mobilize the personal connections you have accumulated to open up various secret channels.
He carefully transported the grain shipped from overseas to Yangcheng Port.
Then, we made precise connections and provided the grain to the leaders in the mainland, helping to solve key issues such as grain allocation.
Under the tense situation at the time, there was a huge gap in domestic food supply and the situation was extremely critical.
Through this clever roundabout strategy, food was purchased from third-party countries, successfully resolving the urgent need for domestic food supply.
Compared with purchasing directly from the United States, the cost is significantly reduced.
It avoids the high costs caused by the high prices and many additional conditions in the US market.
It has saved the country a considerable amount of foreign exchange reserves.
This achievement is of extraordinary significance to the country's economic stability and people's livelihood.
Sally, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, had no idea of the complex situation and far-reaching impact behind this.
She is active in the business simply as a middleman.
Sally made full use of the personal connections she had accumulated over many years of working in the United States.
Carefully select high-quality suppliers with good reputation and excellent product quality.
At the same time, we quietly coordinate with all parties behind the scenes to ensure that suppliers can provide goods on time and in sufficient quantities.
She was outside the complex transaction chain and was unaware of the intricate intertwined interests and political games involved.
At this moment, Sally stood in front of everyone, with an upright posture, patting her chest with confidence.
He said in a firm tone, "There is absolutely no problem with the food. Everything is going very smoothly. The supplier delivered on time, and there were no delays in transportation."
He Yuzhu's inner worries followed him everywhere, especially in the United States, which is across the ocean, where his network of contacts is sparse and his foundation is shallow.
Many things are difficult to advance on one's own.
This feeling of powerlessness grew stronger, prompting him to turn his attention to Sally.
Sally is very adept at socializing in the local social circle, and her network of contacts is like a rich mine with endless resources.
He Yuzhu knows very well that in Hong Kong, a bustling city with both business opportunities and challenges, being able to work with Sally is like giving his career a pair of strong wings.
Whether it is the difficult task of developing new business channels or accurately obtaining key information in a complex business intelligence network.
Sally is a capable assistant who can definitely lend him a helping hand at critical moments.
With this expectation, He Yuzhu tried hard to suppress his inner anxiety. His tone was as calm as possible, and he carefully raised the crucial question: "So, regarding the manufacturing technology of cathode ray tubes, are you willing to implement it here?"
As he finished speaking, he leaned forward slightly, his eyes full of desire and expectation.
We are eager to achieve a breakthrough in the field of cathode ray tube manufacturing technology, which will serve as a lever to promote the company's development.
Significantly enhance the company's core competitiveness, gain a firm foothold in the fierce market competition, and open up a broad world.
Sally's answer dashed his expectations and made him feel quite disappointed.
She shook her head helplessly and said solemnly, "This technology is so cutting-edge and advanced. The company's top management attaches great importance to it and will never easily spread it. This involves the company's core interests and is crucial to its future development strategy. If this technology leaks out, the company's leading position in the industry will be in jeopardy."
The technology mentioned here is color cathode ray tube technology.
At that time, China had made breakthroughs in the field of electronic technology and had the ability to produce black and white cathode ray tubes used in black and white televisions.
However, due to the limitations of the country's overall economic development level and limited consumer spending, the market size of black and white TVs is relatively small.
As for color televisions, they are considered high-end luxury goods in China. They are expensive and out of reach for ordinary families. The market demand is far from being fully opened and is still in its infancy.
He Yuzhu was determined to obtain the manufacturing technology of color cathode ray tubes, which was a "pearl" of extremely high gold content in the electronics industry.
He knew very well that once he acquired this technology, it would be a key turning point for the company's future development.
With it, the company will surely stand out in the fiercely competitive electronics industry and reach new heights.
But the other company seemed to have built a solid fortress, and was firm in its attitude towards technical protection and was unwilling to give in at all.
He Yuzhu tried many communication techniques and put forward attractive cooperation plans, but all fell on deaf ears.
Faced with such a deadlock, He Yuzhu knew that if he continued to press forward, it would probably cause Sally's disgust.
If the cooperative relationship that has been established with great difficulty between the two parties is destroyed, the loss will outweigh the gain.
So, he suppressed his reluctance and anxiety and decided to take a rest in Sally's villa.
I thought about spending the night, waiting for my mind to calm down, and then returning to the company to reorganize my thoughts and figure out a response strategy.
Before He Yuzhu could fully get into work mode and reorganize the company's affairs, the phone in his pocket rang rapidly.
When he took it out, he saw that it was Huo Yingdong calling.
On the other end of the line, Huo Yingdong's voice was filled with excitement and anticipation, practically bursting through the receiver. "The hydrofoil we procured has arrived! You can't imagine how much effort our team put into acquiring this advanced device. It's incredibly advanced, utilizing the latest fluid dynamics design and a powerful engine, ensuring both speed and stability. This will greatly improve our maritime transport efficiency. How about we go over this afternoon and take a look, and then hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow?"
He Yuzhu was slightly startled, his thoughts instantly pulled back. After a little thought, he replied, "Well, that's good. It's time to go and have a look."
When He Yuzhu heard the question, he frowned slightly and fell into a brief and deep thought.
He knew very well that hydrofoils were as crucial as a stabilizing force to the company's maritime transportation business.
This is not only a huge asset purchase, but also an important equipment to enhance the company's core competitiveness.
Its significance is far-reaching enough to have a decisive impact on the future expansion of business territory.
Time flies, and it is afternoon in a blink of an eye. The sun is shining brightly, pouring down on the earth without reservation, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a touch of comfort.
He Yuzhu sorted out his thoughts and invited Lin Wanting to go to the pier together. The two of them walked hurriedly and their figures soon disappeared at the end of the street.
In the past few months, Lin Wanting has been like a piece of unpolished jade that has been carefully carved. With extraordinary perseverance and hard work, she has devoted herself to training.
She pondered and practiced day after day, making her skills in the state of transformation more and more stable and solid.
Now, every move she made was like a torrent of tremendous power. It seemed to be casually wielded, but in fact it was incredibly powerful.
Not only that, Lin Wanting actively challenges herself and takes the initiative to engage in practical simulation training at the Huajin level.
After struggling in a series of high-intensity, complex and ever-changing simulated battles, she gradually mastered the tricks to deal with Huajin-level battles.
