After getting Han Pi back, Chen Mu was finally able to return to his business.
The construction progress of the greenhouse is very fast. Since Wang Jian came, someone took the lead in various technical adjustments, so at the end of August, a 200,000-square-meter fruit and vegetable greenhouse and a 100,000-square-meter medicinal material greenhouse in Muya Forestry, basically All must be completed together.
Just before the greenhouse was about to be completed, Chen Mu and Zuo Qingfeng were suddenly pulled up by Wang Jingwen and ran to the seaside.
"In order to find them, I spent a lot of time in contact. I ran to Binhai three times in a row before. Basically, I have already negotiated with them on some treatment issues. This time they hope to meet with you. If we can negotiate, There should be no problem…”
Wang Jingwen explained to Chen Mu and Zuo Qingfeng in detail on the plane.
After contacting Qin Shen from Ali Mall, Chen Mu has made up his mind to build a platform by himself, so he will not seek any cooperation with other platform providers, and plans to start from scratch with his own strength.
Although this road involves a lot of investment and is more arduous, it is more suitable for the current pace of Muya Forestry, and it may be able to blaze its own path in the future.
Chen Mu and Zuo Qingfeng have no contact with and don't understand the operation of the platform, so they have to find someone to do it. The best way is to hire an experienced team, so that they can get things done faster .
During this period of time, Wang Jingwen, who is the director of personnel, was troubled by this.
She has been secretly looking for candidates, but it is not so easy to find, and what is looking for is a team, so it is even more difficult...
After several twists and turns, they finally came into contact with a qualified team, so they hurriedly pulled Chen Mu and Zuo Qingfeng, and flew straight to Binhai.
Chen Mu asked: "Jingwen, the team you are talking about has worked in Hehua before?"
Wang Jingwen nodded: "Yes, among them there are three main members who worked in Hehua. They resigned a year and a half ago and started a project by themselves, but encountered some problems in the middle... In short, they failed. It's their window period."
After a slight pause, Wang Jingwen said again: "It feels like the model on Box Flower is more in line with our greenhouse fruit and vegetable project, and some algorithms are also similar. I think they are really suitable."
Chen Mu glanced at Zuo Qingfeng and nodded.
If you want to build your own platform, logistics is the most critical challenge.
There are currently two mainstream B2C models in China. The first is the centralized model, which is to build a central warehouse, so that goods can go from the source to the central warehouse, and then from the central warehouse to the customer.
The other is a decentralized model, which is to build a number of stores, so that the goods can go from the source to the store, and then from the store to the customer.
Box flowers belong to the second type.
Greenhouse fruit and vegetable projects are obviously more suitable for adopting the second decentralized model.
The source of fruits and vegetables is in the hands of Muya Forestry. What they need is to build stores in cities and finally deliver products to customers.
This involves a lot of intelligent things, such as optimal logistics scheduling schemes, such as store scheduling, such as distribution schemes, such as intelligent ordering of goods...
All these, only an experienced team can give a good solution.
The team Wang Jingwen found met the requirements very well.
"Take a look at these materials. If you have any questions, you can ask them in person when you arrive at Binhai."
Wang Jingwen sent a document to Chen Mu and Zuo Qingfeng respectively, asking them to
Chen Mu took a look. This team previously built a platform website dedicated to pet products. Due to poor management and failure, the main members of the team were seriously injured and owed a sum of debt.
It is precisely because of this that they are eager to find a next home, earn money and pay off their debts... There is also the idea of hoping to make a comeback.
According to the information, there are quite a few people in contact with this team. Wang Jingwen offered a very attractive price, which even included an equity incentive package, which made the other party have the intention to join.
Looking at this salary package, Chen Mu really felt that it was a lot, and it was like buying a horse bone with a lot of money.
Of course, if these people are invited back and can do things, they will give them the treatment, and he will not be stingy.
He believed in Wang Jingwen's vision, so he looked at how the two sides met and talked after going to Binhai.
When the plane arrived at Binhai Airport, the group didn't go to the hotel, they directly made an appointment with the leader of the team, and then went to meet.
According to Wang Jingwen, every second counts at such a time. If you are slow to start, you are likely to negotiate with others to find out the result, and then the money will go to another family.
So, they have to meet with each other first to finalize things.
After the three came to a cafe in Binhai City, they each ordered a cup of coffee and waited for each other.
This cafe is located in a remote alley corner, and the interior is very quiet, which is a good place to talk about things.
The cafe was chosen by the other party. Wang Jingwen said that it was to make the other party feel psychologically safe. This atmosphere is very important in the next meeting.
After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, the person came.
There were two people on the other side, both in their thirties.
Chen Mu had seen the profile of these two people, it was on the information Wang Jingwen gave him before.
The tall one is Wang Yun, who graduated from the computer department of Shuimu University, and belongs to the top group in China in terms of technology.
The fatter one is called Yuan Chengxing, who graduated from Stanford and has stayed abroad for many years. He has been an executive of several companies and is a relatively experienced platform operator.
These two people are the core and leaders of that team.
Of course, there was another person, but he didn't come because something happened. It is said that Wang Yun and Yuan Chengxing in front of him could represent that person.
So, as long as you take them both down, you're basically done.
Wang Jingwen introduced to the other party as soon as he arrived: "This is our Zuo Qingfeng Zuo Zong, who is currently the general manager of Muya Forestry. This is our Chen Mu and Chen Zong..."
Before Wang Jingwen introduced Chen Mu's "chairman" status, the fat man Yuan Chengxing took the initiative to hold Chen Mu's hand, and said with a smile: "I know Mr. Chen. I saw Mr. Chen's news on the Internet before, and he was in Sudan. The part about rescuing the hostages... is really admirable."
Chen Mu felt a little surprised when his hand was held back. It seemed that he had actually met a fan... Does this mean that the next thing will be much easier
Chen Mu smiled and exchanged pleasantries with the other party, and then turned to the main topic: "This time we are here, we hope to meet the two of you and invite you to join our Muya Forestry."
Among Wang Yun and Yuan Chengxing, Wang Yun is a typical man of science and engineering, and he is not good at speaking in front of strangers, so they are obviously dominated by Yuan Chengxing.
After hearing Chen Mu's words, Yuan Chengxing suppressed the smile on his face and started to talk about business: "We have contacted Mr. Wang several times before, and we are very interested in Muya Forestry's invitation. This time it is mainly I want to meet Mr. Chen and Mr. Zuo face to face, and talk to them about some issues that we are more concerned about."
Chen Mu glanced at Zuo Qingfeng, then turned his head and made a gesture of invitation: "Please speak."
Yuan Chengxing asked: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zuo, I also watched the live broadcast of Muya Forestry's press conference on the Internet afterwards. I admire your concept very much. I just want to ask one thing here. I don't know if you have No plans to go out of the Northwest?"
"Of course there is."
Chen Mu nodded: "We have always hoped to promote this greenhouse fruit and vegetable project to the whole country, there is no doubt about it."
Yuan Chengxing asked again: "In your plan, how long will it take to promote the project to the whole country?"
Chen Mu thought for a while and replied: "I really can't give you a specific answer to this point. We are an agricultural and forestry enterprise, which is greatly affected by natural factors, and the investment in each step of expansion is also very large.
We have no way to formulate a very specific plan like those high-tech companies, and announce loudly how long it will take to achieve which step... To put it bluntly, we still depend on the sky to eat, and this bowl of rice must be eaten one bite at a time.
Well, if I had to set a deadline, I'd like it to be ten years.
I don't know such an answer, are you satisfied? "
Yuan Chengxing pondered for a while, and sighed softly: "Mr. Chen, we are indeed very interested in your company, but we hope to see a more definite future... Well, let's put it this way, we all have families , our home is in Binhai, if we stay in the Northwest for two to three years, or even three to five years, that's fine, but if we're allowed to stay there for a long time, I'm afraid... "
Yuan Chengxing did not continue to finish his sentence, but shook his head slightly, expressing a trace of regret.
Chen Mu frowned slightly, but didn't speak immediately.
No one knows the conditions of Muya Forestry better than him.
The harsh environment has always been the biggest hurdle they have encountered when recruiting people.
No one wants to live in a desert where there is nothing, and even a sudden illness cannot be sent to the hospital immediately.
Now people like Yuan Chengxing and Wang Yun who have families in Binhai City, it is really embarrassing for them to work at the gas station.
However, after Chen Mu pondered for a while, he explained: "If you join Muya Forestry, your work place will be located in x city. Although the environment of x city cannot be compared with that of Binhai city, it is also the same in Jiangqi province. A big city too.
We will do everything possible to solve your worries in life, I can assure you of this. "
Yuan Chengxing shook his head: "Mr. Chen, if you are willing to sign a gambling agreement with us, then we can consider joining you."
"Gambling agreement?"
Chen Mu was taken aback for a moment: "What gambling agreement?"
Yuan Chengxing said: "It is to promise us to promote the greenhouse fruit and vegetable project to at least ten coastal cities within five years, and let this project be listed separately."
"This is impossible!"
Before Chen Mu said anything, Wang Jingwen had already spoken immediately: "This is not in the conditions we discussed before."
Zuo Qingfeng also said: "Every company develops at its own pace, it is impossible for us to sign such a gambling agreement with you."
Chen Mu smiled helplessly, and said to Yuan Chengxing: "You heard it too, whether it's Mr. Zuo or Mr. Wang, they all have objections to your proposal, and I can only refuse you."
Yuan Chengxing looked at Chen Mu and said seriously: "Mr. Chen, we have spent five years betting against you. We are actually the weak side. No matter whether we win or lose, we have to spend our time on Muya Forestry. .”
"But the problem is..."
After thinking for a while, Chen Mu said, "We don't want to bet against you, what we want are companions."
"Mr. Chen, don't you even have the courage? If you can't promote the project to ten cities within five years and let the project be listed separately, what's the point of doing this project?"
"Your understanding of agriculture and forestry is really too limited."
Chen Mu shook his head: "As long as the agricultural and forestry projects can survive, they are considered a victory. It doesn't mean that they need to be big to be successful."
After a slight pause, he continued: "I now understand your thinking, you probably just want a guarantee that your five years will not be wasted.
But in fact, there are risks in everything we do, and I can't give you such a guarantee.
No matter where you go, there is no way to get such a guarantee. If you don't even have this bit of effort, then I really don't think you are suitable to come to our Muya Forestry. "
In the end, the two parties broke up unhappy.
Wang Yun and Yuan Chengxing left the coffee shop with a cold face.
"sorry!"
Wang Jingwen didn't expect such a result, and couldn't help apologizing to Chen Mu and Zuo Qingfeng.
Chen Mu waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with you. We are in a hurry. Take your time. I believe there are more than one person in the market who can do this, but we haven't found it yet."
Zuo Qingfeng also laughed and said: "Actually, I think it's a good thing that I met them today, otherwise, if I really entered Muya Forestry, with their current mentality, there will be problems in the future, and the situation may be even worse by then. Oh no."
When Wang Jingwen heard this, she thought about it, and she immediately calmed down a lot.
After the three of them left the cafe, they went to the hotel they had booked, planning to stay for one night before returning to City X the next day.
Just after entering the hotel to stay, Chen Mu's phone rang, and it was Zhang Jiahui on the phone: "Are you in Binhai?"
"Hey, how do you know?"
Chen Mu was a little stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Jiahui to know about it just after he arrived in Binhai, as if he was being watched by him.
Zhang Jiahui said with a smile: "I saw Anal's circle of friends, she sent a picture of her child with the text: Dad went to Binhai, that's why I called you."
That's how it turned out...
I feel that the circle of friends is the place where the most personal information is leaked, and I have to make that prodigal girl less post this kind of circle of friends in the future.
Zhang Jiahui said again: "You have come to Binhai, let's meet up?"
"Are you at the beach too?"
Chen Mu was curious.
"I just came to Binhai to meet with the brokerage."
Zhang Jiahui smiled: "Where are you, I'll find you."
Chen Mu could only honestly present the address before the two hung up the phone.
