Rebalancing

Southern Fujian, Pu Tian.

Li Zhou, accompanied by two new salespeople, personally visited over a dozen eel farms that had previously purchased mature White Eels.

Inside a large farm.

"Boss Huang, long time no see."

Boss Huang, wearing a large gold chain, smiled and shook his head, "Little Brother Li, here to buy eels again? How much do you need this time?"

"How much do you have on your farm?" Li Zhou immediately followed up with an introduction, "Boss Huang, these two are my colleagues, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang. They will be based in the Southern Fujian area from now on, and future business will be handled by them and Boss Huang."

"I still have about 30,000 catties of White Eels." Boss Huang smiled and took out a box of Hua Zi cigarettes, "Here, have a smoke. Let's take care of each other in the future."

"Haha, mutual care." Li Zhou quickly struck while the iron was hot, "Boss Huang, do you need eel fry?"

"Oh? Little Brother Li has connections?"

"Naturally, the price is negotiable."

Boss Huang inquired, "What size? What's the price?"

"Elvers, 0.1-gram size, 28,000 per kilogram."

Upon hearing Elvers, Boss Huang shook his head like a rattle, "Little Brother Li, are you kidding me? I don't have the technology for Elvers!"

Li Zhou smiled and said, "Our company provides Elver farming technology. They can be cultivated into Elvers in about a month, you just need to purchase our company's Sea Snow feed."

"Really?" Boss Huang, like the previous Boss Zhao, was half-believing, half-doubting.

"Absolutely true. Our company has sold millions of Elvers in the Chaoshan area, and it's been over two months now. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone you know there. If there are any problems within a month, we'll compensate you."

Seeing Li Zhou's confident assertion, Boss Huang was also tempted. After all, 28,000 per kilogram for Elvers was too attractive a price.

Furthermore, not only are eel fry expensive now, but the quantity entering the market is also decreasing. Boss Huang also knew that the profit from farming eels is relatively high, and he was reluctant to switch to farming shrimp or other fish.

"I'll take 5 kilograms to try. If there's really no problem, I'll contact your company again."

"No problem."

Soon, Li Zhou completed two deals with the two newcomers. One was the purchase of 10,000 kilograms of mature White Eels, and the other was the sale of 5 kilograms of Elvers and 180 kilograms of Sea Snow feed.

For the past half month, Li Zhou had been leading people to run business throughout Southern Fujian, handing over customer resources to the newcomers.

He was clearly a bit reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. After all, his energy was limited. He was personally responsible for the Chaoshan area, which already required two subordinates to assist him. Other areas could only be handed over to the newcomers.

Time unknowingly arrived at the end of October.

The new batch of female eels also began laying eggs successively at the end of the month, and soon another 7.6 million Elvers were on the market.

Li Zhou, who had just returned to the headquarters at the end of the month, inquired about the sales situation from the 10 salespeople stationed outside through the sales department's WeChat group.

He and his assistant quickly compiled the sales data for the Lingnan District, Southern Fujian District, Qiongzhou District, Zhedong District, and Guinan District.

After some statistics.

All 7.6 million Elvers produced this month were sold out, and they also secured pre-orders for 5.53 million more.

Moreover, Li Zhou found that the bulk of this month's orders were in Chaoshan and Southern Fujian. Other areas had not yet opened up the market, with total orders only in the hundreds of thousands.

This indicates that salespeople in other regions have not yet fully integrated with local farmers, and it also shows the huge potential in these areas.

Considering that he wants to manage the sales department in the future, Li Zhou decided to divide the Lingnan District into two, with Nansha District in Guangzhou as the boundary. The area to the east will be renamed Guangdong East District, and the area to the west will be renamed Guangdong West District.

At the same time, the Ryukyu District and Eastern Ying markets need to be opened up as soon as possible.

After organizing this month's sales report, Li Zhou hurried to Jiang Miao's office.

He knocked on the door.

"Chairman?"

"Manager Li? The Chairman is at the farm."

Turning his head, he saw Ye Meijing holding a coffee.

"Oh? Thanks." Li Zhou nodded.

Ye Meijing reminded him, "The Chairman should be back at the company to work in the afternoon. If you're not in a hurry, you can come over in the afternoon."

"I'm not in a hurry, it's just this month's sales report."

"Your sales department had good sales this month!" As the manager of the finance department, Ye Meijing naturally knew the sales department's performance this month.

"I was running around Southern Fujian for more than half a month."

While the two were chatting, Zhang Xinyi also walked over with a sales report.

Ye Meijing seemed to have guessed something: "Xinyi, are you also looking for the Chairman?"

"Yes!"

"The Chairman is at the farm and might only come over in the afternoon."

"Then I'll come back in the afternoon."

Li Zhou asked somewhat smugly, "Xinyi, how were the sales for your online store department this month?"

"Just average, only a few tens of thousands of yuan, not comparable to your sales department." Zhang Xinyi shook her head helplessly.

"It's okay, take your time." Li Zhou walked away triumphantly.

Ye Meijing patted Zhang Xinyi's shoulder: "Don't take it to heart, keep up the good work."

"I know." Zhang Xinyi didn't care too much. She knew that the online store department was not the core business of the company, and it was already good to be able to get the minimum guarantee.

Of course, she didn't know that Jiang Miao had already planned to strengthen the online store department to prevent the sales department from becoming dominant.

In the afternoon, Jiang Miao returned to the headquarters in a pickup truck.

This month, in addition to cultivating seeds and breeding strawberries, he also purchased three already built rural self-built houses in South Lake Village next to the resort headquarters.

One house has a floor area of 96 square meters, 5 floors, a building area of 520 square meters, costing 1.83 million yuan.

One house has a floor area of 120 square meters, 4 floors, a building area of 550 square meters, costing 1.96 million yuan.

One house has a floor area of 96 square meters, 3 floors, a building area of 300 square meters, costing 1.08 million yuan.

These self-built houses have been entrusted to his cousin Jiang Yao for renovation and are planned to be used as employee dormitories. After all, as the company's personnel increases, using the third floor of the headquarters as a dormitory is a bit wasteful.

Moreover, the third floor of the headquarters office building only has 12 rooms, which is not enough.

As soon as he returned to the headquarters.

Li Zhou came over with the report.

"Boss, this is this month's sales report."

Jiang Miao flipped through the document: "Not bad. Your idea of separating Guangdong East and Guangdong West is feasible. For the development of new markets, you can be in charge of the domestic market; the foreign market will be handed over to new people to develop. I think Huang Jiahao from your sales department is good, so let him be responsible for the foreign sales office; in addition, the after-sales service work of the sales department will be handed over to the online store department from now on."

Li Zhou didn't expect this day to come so quickly, but this was the boss's will, so he could only accept it: "Yes, I have no objection. The foreign market will be handed over to Huang Jiahao; the after-sales service will be handed over to the online store department."

"Okay, you've worked hard."

"It's no trouble."

After the two chatted for a few sentences, Zhang Xinyi knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Li Zhou stood up: "Boss, I'll take my leave first."

"Okay, you go ahead and be busy!"

He brushed past Zhang Xinyi.

Jiang Miao opened the blinds of the office.

Zhang Xinyi quickly handed over the sales report: "Boss, this is the sales situation of our online store department in October."

Jiang Miao took a look and found that the online store department's sales were quite good this month, selling a total of 14,000 cans of eel, with a sales revenue of 167,362 yuan.

"Not bad, keep up the good work. By the way, your online store department will open another WeChat sales office, specifically to handle the after-sales service of the sales department."

"Ah!" Zhang Xinyi was startled: "Boss, isn't this the sales department's matter?"

Jiang Miao smiled and took out a business adjustment document: "The sales department's workload is too heavy, you guys share some of it. Go and coordinate with the sales department later. Also, when communicating with customers, you can remind them that they can also order eel fry and Sea Snow feed from the online store."

"Thank you, Boss." Zhang Xinyi happily took the document.
