Chapter 60 Symposium


Chapter 60 Symposium

Jiang Miao, Shuya and others rested for the night in Pingzhou.

Because my sister had to go back to do errands, she took the high-speed train back to Shanmei City.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning.

It was just dawn, and the alarm clock on my cell phone dinged.

Jiang Miao got up, took out her cell phone and crossed off the alarm, stretched, wiped her sleepy eyes, and then patted Shuya's arm: "Aya, get up."

"Uh... Got it."

After a while, the two of them got up to wash up.

Twenty minutes later, after arranging her appearance in front of the mirror, Jiang Miao opened the door.

Ke Yong, Li Zixuan, and An Ning were also waiting not far from the door.

The group drove to Tianhe District of Yangcheng.

The reason why Jiang Miao came to Yangcheng this time was to participate in a symposium. This symposium was organized by the Fisheries Research Institute of Lingnan Agricultural Research Institute and was mainly about aquatic industry technology and industry-related issues.

The symposium was held at the Ocean College of South China Agricultural University on Wushan Road, Tianhe District.

The pickup truck had just arrived at the gate.

I saw volunteers organized by the school at the door, guiding attendees about parking.

Soon, under the guidance of the volunteers, after parking the car, Jiang Miao led everyone to follow the guide map issued by the volunteers.

"Eh? Isn't this Mr. Jiang? Long time no see."

A somewhat surprised voice sounded from behind. Jiang Miao turned around and saw Gu Haijing, his youngest son Gu Yiming, and several employees of Haijing Company.

He stopped and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Gu, are you also here to participate in this symposium?"

"Yes! Let's go together!"

"Does Mr. Gu know the specific content of this symposium?" Jiang Miao asked curiously.

Gu Haijing did not hide it, and introduced him to the specific situation of this symposium: "I heard from several friends that there are four topics for this symposium."

"Oh? I would like to hear the details."

"The first is to discuss the increase or decrease in the protection list of rare marine organisms. Mr. Jiang has developed artificially propagated eel fry. You may be needed to speak at that time to discuss some issues about wild eels."

Jiang Miao suddenly realized: "So, the organizer of the conference did send us an email, asking us to prepare some information about artificial eel breeding in advance."

“The second thing is to discuss the current situation and future of the aquaculture industry.”

"The third is to discuss how to help poor areas through aquaculture."

"The fourth is to award technological breakthrough awards, technological innovation awards, and industry emerging enterprise awards. This part is the responsibility of the Lingnan Fisheries Association. Your company has a high probability of winning."

At the end of the sentence, Gu Haijing couldn't help but show a look of envy. Although his company had won relevant awards, it had never won the Technology Breakthrough Award.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for clarifying my doubts."

"Haha, you're welcome. Everyone will know it later."

The group of people chatted and laughed, walking along the forest paths of Ocean College.

After walking for about twenty minutes, we arrived at the conference hall where the symposium was held.

As soon as he came in, Gu Haijing also took Jiang Miao and introduced some old friends to him.

A potbellied boss smiled and said: "It turns out that Hailufeng Company was founded by Mr. Jiang. I'm glad to meet you. This is my business card. If you have the opportunity to cooperate."

"Okay." Jiang Miao also smiled and nodded.

The other middle-aged boss had a complicated expression and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Jiang, I have long admired you, and we have cooperated before."

"Who are you?" Jiang Miao couldn't remember the other person's name for a while.

"It's normal that Mr. Jiang doesn't recognize me. I am Zhang Xinming from Zhang's Company in Echeng. I have purchased a lot of eel fry from your company before." Zhang Xinming explained.

When he mentioned Zhang's Company in Echeng, Jiang Miao immediately remembered: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. I'm glad to meet you." However, Zhang Xinming still had a complicated expression on his face: "Mr. Jiang is really awesome. Your company's sales of eel fry this year are Well, I’m afraid it will exceed one billion yuan!”

"Thank you for your kind words." Jiang Miao was not too modest. After all, everyone present was a leader in Lingnan's aquaculture field.

Everyone has a rough idea of ​​the price of eel fry and how many products Hailufeng Company has shipped in the past few months.

Another CEO of an aquaculture company in Zhanjiang asked with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I heard that Kagoshima Eel Company is already selling eel fry. I wonder if they will be sold domestically?"

Jiang Miao shook his head: "We have a contract that stipulates that Kagoshima Eel Company's eel fry are only sold within Japan. Of course, this does not restrict second-tier dealers, but I don't think anyone will go to Japan to import eel fry, right? ”

Hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly, and naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Miao's words.

Kagoshima Eel Company paid a one-time technology licensing fee of NT$30 million. In addition, labor costs, water and electricity costs, and feed costs are relatively high in Japan. The comprehensive cost of eel fry will certainly not be low, and the price will naturally not be much cheaper.

Then Jiang Miao complained: "The profits of eel farming have dropped sharply in the past two years, and the cost of feed remains high. Many farmers have had a large part of their profits eaten up by feed, which has reduced farmers' enthusiasm for farming."

Gu Haijing also nodded: "Yes! Even the price of ordinary fish feed has increased by two to three thousand yuan per ton. Those cheap economic aquatic products cannot make much money at all."

"We worked so hard for the feed factory."

"The feed mills have no choice. I have talked with several feed mill owners that I have worked with before. The price of imported fish meal has been rising in the past two years, and their profits are not high."

Jiang Miao took the opportunity and said: "I recently invested in a feed factory to produce fish feed to see if I can reduce some of the costs."

"Oh? Mr. Jiang should think twice!" Zhang Xinming kindly reminded him.

"Mr. Jiang, do you plan to produce and sell it yourself?" Gu Haijing asked curiously.

Jiang Miao explained casually: "In the early stage, I planned to invest in a fish feed factory with an annual output of 50,000 tons, which will definitely be sold externally."

"50,000 tons? Mr. Jiang is so generous!"

"If the fish feed produced by Mr. Jiang is cheap and high-quality, I will definitely order a batch by then."

Several other bosses also expressed that they would consider purchasing fish feed from Hailufeng Company in the future.

Of course, Jiang Miao knew that these bosses were just being polite for the occasion. If the feed price of Hailufeng Company was similar to the market price by then, it is estimated that the other party would most likely not purchase it.

So just listen to this kind of words, but if you take it seriously, you will lose.

One of the owners of an aquaculture nursery company wearing glasses asked with a smile: "By the way, do you want to breed Romanian shrimp? Our company has bred a batch of Romanian shrimp seedlings."

"Rossian shrimp? This shrimp is really good. It has been very popular in recent years, but I don't know how effective it is? Lao Ma, you should have a market assessment and a breeding output value assessment, right?"

"Yes, I will send you a copy later. If you are interested, you can contact me..."

Business was discussed.

Some people are complaining.

Someone is calling for friends.

After Gu Haijing introduced a few friends to him, he started chatting with them by himself.

Jiang Miao was just trying to find his place.

He was surrounded by a few middle-aged people who looked like researchers.

"Are you Mr. Jiang from Hailufeng Company? Hello! I am Hu Fei from the Institute of Fisheries, specializing in the field of artificial eel propagation research."

"Hello! Researcher Hu Fei."

"Mr. Jiang, can we talk about some issues about artificial eel breeding?" Researcher Hu Fei added: "If it involves commercial secrets, Mr. Jiang can refuse to answer."

Jiang Miao smiled and nodded: "Okay, communicate with each other."

As participants arrived one after another, it was like thousands of ducks were placed in the auditorium, and various sounds were mixed together

Time flew by second by second, and it was less than twenty minutes before the opening of the symposium. The organizer of the symposium began to guide the participants to their seats.

Jiang Miao also got acquainted with people related to the aquatic industry in the entire Lingnan region through the introductions of Gu Haijing, Hu Fei and others.

After all, we are all practitioners, entrepreneurs, researchers, and officials in the same industry, and we all know each other more or less.

The boss introduced me and the researcher recommended me. In less than an hour, I became familiar with most of the attendees.
