Chapter 116: LG's attention
Xu Qingyao herself had no opinion on filling out the college entrance examination application.
In her opinion, Li Yi obviously knew which school was most suitable for her better than she did. After all, it was impossible for one's family to cheat one's family, right?
Therefore, this hot pot meal was very harmonious.
Xu Qingyao was a little surprised why the two seniors didn't come. After Li Yi explained the reason, Xu Qingyao suddenly realized it.
When she learned the identities of the two, she was also a little unbelievable!
Unexpectedly, the two seniors who looked so amiable on the surface were actually the director of the Public Security Bureau and the deputy director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau!
They are really old cadres. You can't judge a person by his appearance...
During the meal, Li Yi and Ji Qinghe also discussed in detail the issue of Xu Qingyao's application for the business administration major. This issue cannot be sloppy, after all, it is related to Xu Qingyao's future life direction.
In Li Yi's opinion, Xu Qingyao should not only study this major, but also take the postgraduate entrance examination!
Masters and doctors in this era will be academic qualifications that cannot be exchanged for real money in the future!
If he really passes the postgraduate or doctoral examination, it will be of great benefit to Xu Qingyao's future life.
Ji Qinghe naturally agreed with this. She herself is a master's degree graduate, so she naturally knows the value of it.
This meal can be said to be a great pleasure for both the host and the guest. Ji Qinghe's evaluation of Li Yi's ideological awareness has improved again.
I didn't expect that although Li Yi failed to go to college and even didn't finish high school, he has such a keen eye!
If Li Yi knew Ji Qinghe's thoughts, he would probably just smile!
Although he didn't go to college, there were at least 800 college students working under him in his previous life, including doctors and masters!
………Dividing line…………
Haidong City, LG Group Branch.
"What happened to the turnover this quarter?"
"Why is it decreasing in the entire Haidong City?"
"Can your marketing department give me a suitable solution? Don't think that shouting slogans every day will solve the problem!"
Looking at the angry president standing in front of the huge conference room, none of the more than 100 people sitting below dared to speak.
In fact, the sales of the entire quarter have remained sluggish for a long time.
LG Group was founded in 1974. For nearly 20 years, its main business has always been electronic products, and it is quite powerful in the home appliance industry.
This company in Haidong City, Longguo, is the only branch of LG in Longguo. The performance was good in the past few years, but this year, due to some policy reasons, the sales are very bleak.
In addition to policy reasons, more importantly, LG has too many competitors at the moment, such as Haier, Siemens, etc., all of which are very powerful!
Compared with these competitors, LG has a certain advantage in refrigerators, but refrigerators are not allowed to be imported...
So LG's current situation is very embarrassing.
Just when the president was getting angry, an employee raised his hand.
The president looked at the employee and signaled that he could speak freely.
In fact, the president was just pretending. He also knew how difficult it was to open up the market.
After the employee got the president's signal, he whispered:
"President, you are looking at the local sales in Haidong City last quarter. Maybe there is a turnaround now!"
"Turning point?"
"Yes, just this month, we just received an order. At present, the customized volume of refrigerators alone has reached 10,000 units. It is expected that our refrigerator sales in the second half of the year will reach 100,000 levels, and the profit will be more than 50 million!"
When the president heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Is there such a thing?
In fact, the LG store that Li Yi found at that time was directly in contact with the parent company.
It was also connected to the factory of the parent company, so the branch company was not aware of it.
"Which city?"
Hearing the words of this employee, the president's eyes immediately lit up!
There is a way!
Although his performance in Haidong City was not very good, now he smelled the market!
"Jiangcheng!"
"Jiangcheng, the capital of Jiangnan Province?"
"Yes, a new electrical appliance mall just opened in Jiangcheng a few days ago. In just a few days, its refrigerator sales reached 1,000 units. Their boss has ordered 10,000 refrigerators from our headquarters!"
Sales of 1,000 units in a few days, an average of more than 150 units a day, this sales volume is indeed amazing.
The president sat in his chair, thought for a while, and immediately said:
"Arrange some people for me to go to Jiangcheng! Let's talk about cooperation with the owner of this store!"
"Are you going there in person?" the employee asked hurriedly.
"Yes!"
"Go and contact the other party. Remember, keep a low profile! If possible, set up a store like this in Haidong City!"
"Yes!"
"Also investigate how he circumvented the policy and got the refrigerator to Jiangcheng!"
The marketing manager sitting next to the president nodded and said, "I will go to Jiangcheng to investigate as soon as possible!"
The president also nodded and said, "Also check the sales of all home appliances in Jiangcheng City for me. Maybe we can try to open up the market in Jiangcheng City!"
That afternoon, five employees of the marketing department, including a marketing manager, boarded the train to Jiangcheng.
…
Li Yi had no idea about this. He was now considering where to open a branch of the home appliance city.
Of course, he could open a branch in Jiangcheng, but the new store had just started, and the effect would not be very obvious. There was also the risk of losing money.
Li Yi was not afraid to do risky things. As Xu Qingnan said before, with the current situation of the Li family, they could afford to make money but not lose money.
Besides, there was no need to rush in this situation.
In this case, the only choice left was the small county town nearby!
Jiangcheng was the provincial capital after all. There were dozens of county towns around Jiangcheng. Although the economy of these county towns was not developed, it did not mean that these county towns had no market.
There were many wealthy people who made their fortunes in the county towns of this era!
They did not like the crowded and complicated big cities, so they simply returned to their hometowns and opened small shops and shopping malls!
The existence of these people not only revitalized the economy, but also provided employment. Therefore, the senior officials of Longguo were very happy to see such a scene. They relaxed many policies for these people and gave them certain support.
And these people are exactly Li Yi's target.
According to his own memories and the map in his hand, Li Yi carefully analyzed the surrounding counties and finally set his sights on a place called Heyang County.
As the county closest to Jiangcheng, Heyang County naturally has inherent advantages, and Heyang County also has a reputation as a "hometown of local tyrants".
Because at the beginning of the 20th century, many wealthy families appeared in Heyang County. The descendants of these people have a good foundation of ancestral family business, and often have more entrepreneurial opportunities than others, which is unmatched by other counties.
Moreover, Heyang County has beautiful scenery and a very developed tourism industry.
After some analysis, Li Yi decided to open the first branch here!
