Chapter 27: Jiang Yun Reports

  At 7:00 am sharp, Du Le got out of bed, not only without any feeling of fatigue, but also feeling that his spirit was quite good. If it were like usual, sleeping late at night and getting up early in the morning would always make him feel a bit uncomfortable physically. He thought for a moment and guessed that this was probably the benefit of practicing qigong.

  Du Le Xin was overjoyed and once again entered a state of meditation to cultivate, feeling the subtle energy within his body, and only stopped after circulating it throughout his body for another cycle.

  A little after 8 o'clock, Du Le took out his mobile phone and dialed the food wholesaler's phone number. After inquiring and negotiating, he quickly got the wholesale price: a box of Kang brand instant noodles for 30 yuan, and some other brands of instant noodles were around 20 to 25 yuan.

  Du Le thought for a moment and decided to first stock up on about 1,000 boxes of instant noodles from different brands. Among them were 400 boxes of Kangpai's mushroom chicken flavor, which Du Le liked, 100 boxes of braised pork rib flavor, and other brands' spicy beef flavor, shrimp fish flavor, and sesame oil chicken flavor, with 100 boxes each of the latter four flavors. According to Du Le's plan, one box of instant noodles contained 24 packets, so 24,000 packets of different flavored instant noodles should be enough to support Jinyangcheng Noodle Shop for a while.

  Du Le hoped that the wholesale store could deliver goods to his doorstep. After inquiring about Du Le's delivery address, the owner of the wholesale store also agreed to arrange for a truck to deliver the goods today. Of course, Du Le also knew that basically every few days, this wholesale store would arrange a truck to specifically deliver goods to the countryside to replenish goods for retail stores in the towns. Fortunately, Du Le's warehouse was located next to the main road, and this main road happened to be the route that the wholesale store's trucks took to deliver goods to the countryside. Otherwise, they might not have delivered the goods to Du Le. The reason is simple: although Du Le's order quantity was not small, he was not an old customer, and there would always be some caution and observation in the first transaction.

  It will take one or two hours for the food wholesale store to deliver goods to the warehouse. Taking advantage of the remaining time, Du Le put down his mobile phone and went online to inquire about the situation of instant noodle manufacturers and steamed bun manufacturers. Du Le felt that it would be more cost-effective to produce them himself than to always wholesale, which also took into account future development issues.

  Actually, after chatting with Dong Lili and others yesterday, Du Le also felt that starting a company was not a bad direction for development. However, he couldn't just start a superficial shell company, but needed to have some real industry on this side of the earth. Moreover, if he set up a factory, just in Jinyang City alone, it could consume a lot of products and gain a lot of benefits, which should be enough to support the operation of the factory.

  Du Le didn't expect that after searching online, he couldn't find any convenient noodle factories, but instead found many sales merchants of instant noodle production lines. Mantou is the same, it seems that these two food processing production lines can be independently produced domestically, and building a factory shouldn't be difficult.

  Of course, Du Le is not considering building a factory for the time being. He is inclined to acquire an existing production plant, which also facilitates immediate production. Du Le's goal is instant noodle factories and steamed bun factories.

  Du Le wasn't sure how much it would cost to set up a convenient noodle production line. However, he did know that if he owned such a small factory, he could make a lot of money.

  Thinking about the money in space, Du Le carefully calculated it again, and combined with some information online, he estimated that there was still a gap of 20-30 million.

  Alas, I thought I had made a lot of money, Du Le couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the money was still not enough!

  Du Le didn't get discouraged, having a bottom line in his heart was also good.

  At over ten o'clock, Du Le received a call from Jiang Yun. He asked her to go wait for him at the warehouse.

  Finally confirmed Jiang Yun accepted this job, Du Le was delighted, originally he still had some worries.

  Du Le slightly tidied up his appearance, lest he lose face in front of his subordinates. After leaving, he also bought two bottles of drinks at a small shop near his residence.

  Du Le hadn't reached the warehouse entrance when he saw Jiang Yun standing alone by the roadside.

  "You're here, have you had breakfast?" Du Le said as he walked over.

  Jiang Yun saw Du Le and smiled in response: "I've eaten, Director Du."

  "Hey, are you kidding me?" Du Le shook his head and smiled, "We're friends, just call me by my name."

  Jiang Yun blinked and said: "However you say it, I'm also your subordinate. What's wrong with calling you Le Ge?"

  "Here," Du Le handed a bottle of drink from his hand to Jiang Yun, "take it and drink, it's hot today, easy to get dehydrated."

  Jiang Yun didn't refuse, took over the drink and put it in her shoulder bag, "Can you take me to see the warehouse you rented?"

  "Of course no problem," Du Le said as he walked away, "a batch of instant noodles will be delivered soon."

  "Instant noodles? Jiang Yun said with a slight hesitation: "Doing food trade? Retail or wholesale?"

  As soon as Du Le heard Jiang Yun's question, he knew that she still had some doubts in her heart. Du Le did not answer directly, but explained, "Although my current career is just starting out, I have my own advantages. First, I have funds; second, I have a market. With these two points..."

  Du Le paused for a moment, glanced at Jiang Yun, and continued, "Firstly, I will register and establish a company as soon as possible; secondly, acquire a food processing factory with a convenient noodle production line. And your job is to help me find all the instant noodle manufacturers in the province and select a few factories that are suitable for me to acquire."

  Jiang Yun looked at Du Le in surprise. Although Jiang Yun was relatively short of money, she hadn't reached the point where she would casually choose a company to work for, let alone one with an owner like Du Le who didn't even have his own company. At first, she hadn't thought that Du Le had such grand ambitions. In fact, Jiang Yun's arrival here was largely due to her cousin Dong Lili's introduction. During her studies, the Dong family had given her a lot of help.

  "Alright, no problem." Jiang Yun nodded in response. Although he didn't know what Du Le's future development would be like, Jiang Yun decided to work and earn money for the time being. He joked, "As long as you ensure that the salary is paid on time every month, that's all I need."

  "Of course! After the company is established, in addition to your salary, I will also provide you with five insurances and one fund." Du Le smiled, took out an envelope that had been prepared long ago from his pocket, and handed it to Jiang Yun, "There's 1,000 yuan here, which is your activity fee. Refund the excess or make up for the deficiency, don't embezzle."

  Jiang Yun was taken aback, took the envelope and nodded. She didn't expect Du Le to trust her so much.

  At this time, the food wholesale store's delivery phone call came into Du Le's mobile phone, and Du Le answered it. The truck would arrive in about five minutes, and the delivery staff asked Du Le for the specific unloading location.

  Du Le pointed and explained in the microphone, then said they would wait for them on the highway and described the specific environment of the location.

  "We'll go to the warehouse together later, and you can get familiar with the place," Du Le said.

  "Uh-huh, okay." Jiang Yun said.

  The truck arrived and drove into the warehouse under Du Le's leadership.

  Du Le paid in cash on the spot, and then a thousand boxes of instant noodles were quickly moved into the warehouse under the efforts of the staff.

  The wholesale store staff rarely saw a big customer like Du Le, and the warehouse space was still very large, so they asked Du Le if he needed any other food. After thinking for a moment, Du Le only left behind the procurement directory of the food wholesale market, in preparation for developing other food markets in the future.

  After the truck left, Jiang Yun thought for a moment and asked Du Le, "Brother Le, with so many instant noodles in the warehouse, how long will it take to sell them all?"
