Chapter 258 Cooperation with Farmers
After the meeting, the two shook hands again to celebrate. With joyful smiles, they wished the cooperation to be smooth. After returning to the company, He Yuzhu immediately called all the employees to announce the good news. The workers were very excited to hear the news, and the whole audience applauded.
He Yuzhu was full of emotion: "Dear fellow workers, let us continue to work together to create a more brilliant tomorrow!" As soon as these words came out, applause rang out like thunder. Everyone's hearts were filled with infinite longing and firm belief for the future. Working together will surely open up a broader world and a brighter future for them.
A few days later, He Yuzhu and the Yellow Rice Wine Factory formally signed a cooperation agreement, marking the official start of the cooperation between the two parties. Since then, He Yuzhu's winery has greatly increased the production of white wine, and the Yellow Rice Wine Factory has also begun to produce a large amount of Yellow Rice Wine.
Under He Yuzhu's leadership, the factory's performance has steadily increased, and the welfare of employees has also improved. Everyone feels happy and satisfied with their work. When other wineries learned about their innovative way of cooperation, they were shocked. After all, there are not many types of wine on the market, and the competition pressure is very high. There has never been an example of two wineries cooperating across categories. The outside world believes that this model is likely to fail because they doubt whether such a cooperative relationship can be maintained stably.
Despite the doubts, He Yuzhu had considered it carefully before signing the agreement. When he and Director Li sat in the office waiting for the new batch of products to come out, two exquisite wine jars were already on the table. When this moment came, the two smiled at each other, "This cooperation must be successful." Director Li said with a slightly nervous expression.
"Don't worry!" He Yuzhu replied easily, "We are fully prepared."
He Yuzhu opened a bottle of wine, handed a glass to Director Li, and invited him to taste it. Director Li picked up the wine, took a sip, and looked a little surprised.
"Boss He, this wine has a unique flavor, but..." Director Li said.
He Yuzhu smiled slightly and asked softly, "What aspect of the wine confuses Director Li?"
Director Li continued, "This wine tastes really good, with a strong aroma, but the alcohol content is slightly higher than before."
Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I did this on purpose."
Seeing that the other party was confused, He Yuzhu continued to explain, "I think that appropriately increasing the alcohol content can better present the characteristics of this wine."
This proposal caused Director Li to think briefly. Although he was cautious about this idea, He Yuzhu's determination made him see a glimmer of possibility for change. "What you said makes sense, but we need to weigh it carefully." Director Li finally said. He Yuzhu agreed and suggested: "Why don't we produce a small number of samples to test the waters first, and then make adjustments based on the feedback?"
The conversation between the two reflected their confidence in cooperation and prudent business wisdom, which also laid the foundation for the launch of subsequent products.
When Director Li heard He Yuzhu's suggestion, he thought this method was safe and reliable, so he nodded in agreement. With the successful launch of the first batch of joint products, He Yuzhu and the rice wine factory began a new stage of close cooperation. They worked together to develop, produce and promote a new type of high-alcohol rice wine, and the market response ultimately exceeded expectations.
This new product has a stronger taste and higher alcohol content, which has won praise from consumers and has received a steady stream of orders. However, with the increase in altitude, new challenges are also presented: how to ensure that the rice wine still maintains its excellent taste and quality when the altitude is increased? After countless experiments and adjustments, He Yuzhu successfully overcame this difficulty and found a set of formulas and technical solutions that can both retain the original flavor and increase the altitude, which marks that the quality of rice wine has reached an unprecedented level.
Looking at the new samples displayed by He Yuzhu, Director Li was full of admiration for this partner. He expressed his sincere gratitude to He Yuzhu for his firm belief and hard work, knowing that the company's brilliant achievements today are inseparable from his support. "Boss He, you really did it." Director Li said with great emotion.
He Yuzhu humbly responded, "Director Li, this is the result of our joint efforts." This sentence reflects the importance of mutual trust and support in their cooperative relationship.
To express his gratitude, one day after the new product was launched, Director Li personally visited He Yuzhu in the factory and brought gifts, especially a small gift for He Yuzhu's son. Although he was deeply moved by the thoughtfulness, He Yuzhu firmly declined, saying, "There is nothing missing at home, please take back your gift." This made Director Li, who has always been generous, even more admire the noble character and upright and selfless character of this friend.
When saying goodbye, Director Li held He Yuzhu's hand tightly and said, "We will always work together to create brilliance together!" At this moment, He Yuzhu, who was sitting at the table, fell into deep thought - the cooperation during this period of time made him feel the value of friendship that transcends money, and at the same time, it also strengthened his determination to fight for the rice wine business. He hopes to bring better product quality and services to the market while spreading China's traditional wine culture.
He Yuzhu began to prepare a new plan. He planned to open an experience hall so that consumers could personally taste and understand the production process of various wines. In addition, he also planned to launch a variety of wine derivatives, such as rice wine drinks, white wine snacks, etc., to meet the needs of different customers. For the main product, medicinal wine, it is the top priority.
To this end, he carefully studied the medicinal materials and formulas, trying to brew a better medicinal wine. He strictly selected the medicinal materials, carefully blended them, and conducted countless tests to ensure the quality until he was satisfied. He knew that only excellent medicinal materials and exquisite formulas could create first-class medicinal wine. There were many difficulties in this process, but he never gave up.
After unremitting efforts, He Yuzhu finally brewed a high-quality medicinal wine, which not only tastes mellow and fragrant, but also has certain health functions. This won the favor of consumers, who came to taste and buy it one after another. He Yuzhu was deeply pleased and proud of this.
However, a new problem was discovered during this production: the existing supply of medicinal materials could no longer meet the needs of large-scale production. So he sat in his office and pondered over a solution. At this time, the purchasing team leader came in to report the problem of medicinal material supply - although a new medicinal material supplier was found, their price was much higher than before.
The increase in purchasing prices will undoubtedly increase the operating pressure of enterprises. The purchasing team leader said that if he could not find a suitable supplier, he would not know what to do.
After weighing the pros and cons, He Yuzhu told the purchasing team leader to try to contact the existing suppliers to see if they could negotiate a more favorable price; if not, they would need to consider switching to another supplier. Hearing this, the purchasing team leader nodded and left, while He Yuzhu felt very upset.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" He Yuzhu asked.
"It's me, Director Li."
He Yuzhu was overjoyed to hear that he had come to visit her on his own initiative because he was in trouble. He quickly stood up and opened the door to greet her. "Director Li, why are you here?" he asked in surprise.
"I heard you were in trouble, so I came to see if I could help you," Director Li replied with a smile, which made He Yuzhu feel very warm.
He didn't expect that Director Li was so concerned about him and the development of the winery, so he hurriedly reported the problem of medicinal material supply to Director Li.
After hearing this, Director Li frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "This problem is indeed a bit troublesome." But he immediately said, "But I have a solution."
He Yuzhu was cheered up after hearing this and asked hurriedly, "What's the solution?"
Director Li continued: "I remember that we have cooperated with some farmers before, and they can provide medicinal materials. We can contact them to see if we can purchase directly from them."
After hearing this suggestion, He Yuzhu's vision suddenly became clear, and he thought it was a good solution. "Director Li, this is a great idea!" he said excitedly, "I will start contacting farmers right away to see if we can promote cooperation."
Director Li smiled and nodded in support, "Okay, if you need my help, feel free to contact me." After that, he left He Yuzhu's office.
Next, He Yuzhu took action immediately. After some communication and coordination, he finally successfully negotiated a cooperative relationship with the farmers. The farmers promised to supply medicinal materials at a lower price and ensure that their quality and quantity met the requirements.
When the first batch of herbs arrived, He Yuzhu personally inspected them. The overall quality of these herbs was acceptable, except that they were slightly smaller in size, much smaller than the herbs he had bought before. This made him quite dissatisfied, and he secretly thought that the smaller size might have a certain impact on the price.
At this time, the farmer added: "This batch of yields is good, about 400 kilograms per mu. And this is the first batch of medicinal materials. The yield will increase in the second and third batches."
Hearing the farmer's words, He Yuzhu's expression eased a little: "Then I'll accept this batch first." "When you send the second and third batches of medicinal materials, we will make further evaluations. If the size and quality still do not meet the standards by then, we will deduct part of the payment according to regulations."
The farmer got anxious when he heard this and explained, "Boss He, don't worry, these are small because of the seeds. But their quality is absolutely acceptable! Besides, if you deduct the money, it will be a big loss for us farmers! Why don't we make a bet - if the second batch still doesn't meet the requirements, I will apologize to you in person."
Seeing the farmer almost crying, He Yuzhu seemed helpless but sympathetic. "Okay," he agreed softly, "We'll accept this batch of goods first, and we'll discuss it when the next batch of medicinal materials arrives."
The farmers left with gratitude, while the workers in other factories looked at He Yuzhu with worry.
"The size of this medicinal herb..." a worker said tentatively.
He Yuzhu sighed helplessly. Although he was worried, he also figured out a problem: "It's useless to say anything now. I still believe that what the farmers said is true. I think the quality of medicinal materials may really be affected by the seed problem." He decided to wait until the second batch of medicinal materials arrived before making plans.
