Chapter 26 Putting into production
Jiang Miao didn't pay too much attention to the tax inspection. After all, he was not afraid of the shadow.
Li Zixuan was told some things at the company headquarters, and then he sent Shuya to the temporary laboratory at Nanhu Farm.
Then he went to the breeding base in Shiomachi Village.
As soon as the pickup truck arrived at the gate, security guard Lao Lin pressed the switch and the automatic blocking rod lifted up.
My brother-in-law and father are leading about thirty employees at the gate of the new breeding base.
The gate has been covered with red cloth, and there are a series of firecrackers at the door. However, for safety reasons, there are several employees standing by with water pipes and fire extinguishers.
"Amiao, you come to cut the ribbon." The brother-in-law handed him a pair of scissors.
"Okay."
In front of everyone's attention, Jiang Miao cut the ribbon.
At the same time, Dad also lit firecrackers.
Crack, crackle…
Firecrackers went off and all the employees applauded.
After the firecrackers were lit, Jiang Miao picked up the loudspeaker: "Today is a good day, and it is also the day when the new breeding base is put into use. I hope that everyone will work together to make the eel breeding base bigger and stronger. Thank you everyone!"
Bang bang bang... The employees clapped again. Anyway, for the sake of money, they clapped very enthusiastically and hard.
Inside the farm manager's office.
Jiang Miao took a bottle of mineral water and sat down.
The brother-in-law will speak: "The mature eels we have purchased in the past few months have filled all the open-air fish ponds. In January, 30,000 eels reached the standard of transsexual reproduction, and it is expected to produce 760 eels every five days. Production capacity of ten thousand glass eels ”
"Amiao, is this production capacity too high?" Dad was a little worried.
Jiang Miao shook his head: "Not big. The country needs at least 100 tons of glass eel fry every year. Our current monthly production capacity is almost 4.5 tons, which is only 54 tons a year, which is less than half of the domestic demand."

Then Jiang Miao talked about some feedback from the sales department in various places:
“The news I learned from the sales department is that due to the current drop in eel fry prices, coupled with the glass eel farming technology and sea snow feed we have spread, the breeding costs of many eel farms have dropped. They believe that eel farming is profitable. Therefore, they are expanding the scale of breeding. ”
"Among them, the breeding scale in Chaoshan and southern Fujian is expected to double this year. Other regions have not yet followed suit, but they are expected to do so soon."
The brother-in-law asked: "Amiao, what do you think? Continue to expand the scale?"
"Yes, after the Chinese New Year, we will rent fish ponds from several surrounding villages and we plan to double the size."
"Double? Isn't it too radical? Didn't the Japanese Kagoshima Eel Company buy our technology? By then..." The brother-in-law was startled.
Jiang Miao explained with certainty: "Brother-in-law, you have to understand that even if the Japanese master the technology of artificially breeding eels, they will not be able to compete with us in the international market because there is a huge gap in production costs between the two sides. .”
This is not because Jiang Miao looks down on Japanese people, but because of the cruel reality caused by the national conditions of both sides.
China has great advantages in terms of water and electricity costs, basic services, labor costs, and feed costs.
Japan has no advantages in these aspects, especially for feeds such as duckgrass that provide necessary nutrients. There is no way to replace it with artificial nutrients. It must either collect wild duckgrass or plant it artificially.
Based on the diuretic nature of Japanese agriculture, the total cost of growing duckweed is estimated to be more than ten times that in China.
This is also the fundamental reason why many agricultural products in Japan can only take the high-end route. After all, the production cost is already very high. If the price is still not high, it will definitely lose money. Therefore, Jiang Miao didn't pay too much attention to either Japan or South Korea, because the other party had no way to threaten Hailufeng Company.
On the contrary, it is eel fry breeding companies in Southeast Asia and related domestic companies that are the main threats to Hailufeng Company.
"But sooner or later, relevant domestic companies will realize that our technology is easy to copy, and then the market competition will be extremely fierce." My brother-in-law obviously also knows the degree of involution of many domestic companies.
Jiang Miao shook his head: "Brother-in-law, that's why I want to expand the scale before other domestic companies react, eat the biggest piece of cake, and then reduce the entry of competitors through small profits but quick turnover."
"Furthermore, there is another huge consumer market for glass eels. Western Europe cooks glass eels directly, and the production of Atlantic eels is also decreasing year by year. With animal protection organizations jumping up and down, they can only choose to import artificially bred glass eels as a replacement. ”
The brother-in-law thought for a moment, then nodded: "Is that so? I have no objection, but doubling the size would be the limit, right?"
"Well, doubling the size is enough. Any more would be counterproductive."
The three of them discussed it in the office for more than an hour.
After arranging all the work for the new breeding base, Jiang Miao hurriedly took the car to the farm in Nanhu Village.
Come to the west side of Nanhu Village.
At a glance, you can see that there is a self-built house under renovation near the farm. It is a three-bedroom self-built house that the company recently purchased to serve as the office and supporting factory of Nanhu Farm.
Lu Weibin, who was just recruited by the Human Resources Department a few days ago, serves as the industrial manager of Nanhu Farm. He is currently busy with various tasks.
Nanhu Farm is completely blank. Apart from a few ordinary employees, there is also an agricultural technician, and Lin Shuya and Li Wenna who are affiliated here. Lin Shuya and Li Wenna usually only deal with the edible fungi laboratory.
Lu Weibin now needs to report the needed manpower, equipment, and office supplies to the Human Resources Department and the Purchasing Department, which makes him busy.
But there was no other way. Lu Weibin cherished this job very much. He used to be the project team leader of a major Internet company, and his projects were also related to agriculture. Unfortunately, he encountered an age crisis. He was "optimized" by the company when he was just 38 years old.
Although he had millions in savings, he had a hot idea and bought a house in Baolijinding Bay in Shanmei City with the persuasion of his parents, relatives and friends.
When I bought it, housing prices were still high. The house plus the loan cost a total of 2.18 million. Now, including the down payment, I have only repaid 1.32 million, leaving 860,000 left.
In other words, after paying off the remaining loans, his so-called million-dollar deposit will only have more than 300,000 yuan left.
Lu Weibin also has a wife and two children at home, as well as elderly parents. His wife is currently working as a full-time housewife, and his parents have retired. However, the retirement salary is not much, which can barely cover the daily expenses and medical treatment of the elderly couple.
At his age, it is really difficult to find another high-paying job in Pengcheng. After all, 38 years old is too embarrassing.
Therefore, when he saw the recruitment of Hailufeng Company, he hesitated for a few days and then made up his mind to return to his hometown to find a job and take care of his children and parents at the same time.
Lu Weibin was also the first local manager recruited by Jiang Miao, but he did not have purchasing and personnel rights.
Jiang Miao attaches great importance to the company's personnel rights. Almost all personnel recruitment needs to be reviewed by him personally. After all, the three core powers of a company are personnel rights, purchasing rights, and financial rights.
As long as we grasp these three cores, there will basically be no major problems in company management.
In addition, companies like Hailufeng, which is centered on technology, can be more relaxed about the quality of management. They do not need to be too top-notch, and relatively mediocre companies will not cause major problems.
After all, the executives of large companies are all masters of internal fighting, and the management may fire the founder at any time.
Jiang Miao may not be lucky enough to receive such high-quality talents.
