Chapter 99 Big Expansion (Medium Cup! More updates)
It has only been three days since the news that the Yandunshan Feed Factory started harvesting Egyptian pond lice.
More than 1,200 tons of Egyptian pond lice were purchased.
This amount can be digested in three days if the two fishmeal production lines of the feed factory are fully operated. However, considering the need to maintain production, only one production line is currently activated, and only more than 50 tons of Egyptian pond lice are processed every day.
In order to avoid the same situation in the feed production line, Fang Yi has prepared to use one of the feed production lines to produce No. 4 feed, which is Egyptian pond lice fattening feed.
Although the gross profit per ton of No. 4 feed is only 1,000 yuan, you can still make money by pursuing small profits but quick turnover.
Now that the feed has been produced one after another, except for the one hundred tons of No. 2 feed left for the own eel farm, the remaining feed must be prepared for sale.
The sales department does not find this kind of sales work too difficult. After all, they have a large number of customers including eel farmers and Egyptian pond lice farmers.
The first is to target local Egyptian pond lice farmers.
The acquisition interior of Yandunshan Feed Factory.
Several salesmen have already launched a sales strategy for every farmer who comes to sell fish.
One of the salesmen from Xinxiang said with a smile: "Uncle Dafu, don't hesitate. This feed is a good thing. As long as you breed according to our formula, one acre of fish pond can harvest about 30,000 catties. Although the cost has increased, But 30,000 catties can be sold for more money.”
"Xiaoman, is it true?" Jiang Dafu was a little doubtful.
Jiang Xiaoman struck while the iron was hot: "Uncle Dafu, we are all our own people. How dare I lie to you? After all, the boss is also from our village. This kind of feed is limited now. Don't miss it. I give priority to my own people before selling it to you." ”
After hearing this explanation, Jiang Dafu's doubts were relieved a lot.
After all, the reputation of Jiang Miao's family is obvious to all in Magong Town. Although the village seems a bit stingy in activities such as opera creation, ancestor worship, and repairs, they still take great care of families in real need in the township.
During the Chinese New Year last year, Jiang Dahai gave him a red envelope worth 1,000 yuan to express condolences to his wife who was paralyzed in bed.
“Does it take 2.4 tons per acre?”
"Yes, uncle Dafu, how many acres does your family have?"
Jiang Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Two acres, that's 4.8 tons. Considering the shelf life, let's pull it once every half a month! You can pull 0.8 tons at a time. You can just buy other ingredients and fodder according to the formula."
"Then I pay now?"
"No, just record it directly. When you harvest the Egyptian fish, it will be deducted from the payment for the Egyptian fish. Of course, you can also pay first."
"Uh... of course we will deduct it when the time comes." Upon hearing this, Jiang Dafu naturally chose to get the feed first and then deduct it when he sells the Egyptian fish.
This payment method also allowed Jiang Dafu to put down his last worry.
In fact, this is equivalent to Hailufeng lending money to farmers.
However, for this kind of "loan", there is no need to worry about repayment. Unless there is a natural or man-made disaster, as long as the farmers raise the Egyptian fish, repayment is an inevitable result.
After all, there are no other companies around that will purchase Egyptian fish on a large scale. Farmers can only sell to Hailufeng Company. In this case, it is very easy to deduct the payment.
Soon other Egyptian pond lice farmers also signed contracts to purchase No. 4 feed. At the same time, each of them received a copy of the Egyptian pond lice breeding technical manual.
Considering that farmers need to adapt to local conditions, these breeding technical manuals do not have only one formula, but five formulas.
For example, use peanut seedlings, corn stalks, and wild grass powder to replace sweet potato leaves and Pennisetum grass powder.
At the same time, if you use kitchen leftovers, you can reduce the amount of No. 4 feed by about 15 to 20%.
These situations are all adjustments made after fully considering the various situations of farmers.
Of course, since the farmers are not professional, there may be problems with low utilization during the breeding process, resulting in the output not meeting expectations.
However, as long as the amount of No. 4 feed is sufficient, the base output of 12,000 kilograms per mu can be basically maintained.
This depends on whether the farmers are willing to learn the technology. If the technology is learned well and the management is in place, it is easy to reach 15,000 kilograms per mu, or even higher.
And the other side.
The sales department encountered certain difficulties in promoting eel feed.
Fortunately, this was expected by the company.
Although some eel farmers have doubts, there are also many who have adventurous ideas.
The sales department did not force the salesperson. After all, this is a new product and it needs to go through market verification for a period of time. When the farmers discover the benefits of the new feed, the farmers will take the initiative to purchase it without the need for salespeople to promote it.
This is the advantage of technical products.
The feed of Hailufeng Company does not need to compete with the ordinary fish feed of other companies.
Moreover, the current Yandunshan Feed Factory can only produce 750 tons of No. 2 eel feed per month, but the monthly output of No. 4 Egyptian pond lice feed can reach about 9,000 tons.
The production capacity of eel feed is limited by the production capacity of Egyptian pond lice fish meal, so the scale of Egyptian pond lice farming must be gradually expanded.
According to the current situation.
In order to allow the feed factory's production line to operate at full capacity, the breeding scale of Egyptian pond lice must be increased by 3 to 4 times, reaching about 3,600 to 4,800 acres. Coupled with the production increase effect of No. 4 feed, it can be supplied to the feed factory every month. 21,000 to 29,000 tons of Egyptian pond lice, achieving a monthly production capacity of 9,000 tons of No. 2 eel feed.
If there is no No. 4 feed with the effect of increasing production, the breeding scale of Egyptian pond lice may need to reach 12,000 acres to barely meet the needs of feed mills.
Kanamachi Village.
Wang Baorui, who had just returned from the feed factory, hurried to the door of a new five-story house.
"Stone, are you at home?"
The stainless steel door slowly opened, and a big fat man appeared behind the door: "Huh? Isn't this Brother Rui? What kind of wind blows you here?"
Wang Baorui said as he walked: "Stone, rent your two acres of land to me to open a fish pond. How about 2,000 yuan per acre per year?"
"Is it so profitable to raise Egyptian fish?" Wang Baoshi looked surprised.
“Not as good as Shitou’s seafood food stall.”
Speaking of this matter, Wang Baoshi looked depressed: "Shit, I lost 20,000 yuan this month. The tourist season is so bleak now. I even want to change my career. It's his grandma's."
"Huh? Real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. I'm worried to death now."
"Why don't you dig fish ponds out of those two acres of rice fields? Harvest a crop of Egyptian fish every three months. I heard that with the new feed, one acre can harvest 30,000 catties of fish."
Wang Baoshi's eyes widened: "Thirty thousand catties per acre? How much is the purchase price of Hailufeng Company?"
"One pound and five dollars."
"Damn! Brother Rui, you have become rich. I will find someone to dig a fish pond right now."
"Don't worry! If you want Hailufeng Company to harvest your fish, you must sign a contract, otherwise you can only affiliate with other contracted farmers, but this is unreliable. After all, each farmer has a purchase limit."
When Wang Baoshi heard this, he became even more anxious: "What do I need to bring to sign the contract?"
"It's best to have two or three people with your and your family's ID cards, and then dig the fish pond within a month, because then Hailufeng Company will send someone to check the fish pond to prevent someone from occupying the pit and not pooping."
"Thanks, Brother Rui, I'll treat you to dinner later."
"Look, you are in a hurry."
"But didn't you say the quota is limited?"
"There is no hurry. I plan to eat the rice fields around my fish pond. You can also eat part of it. I will go to Laozhu to the east, and you will go to Guoxin to the west of you to see if they have any. Rental Ideas ”
"That's right."
The two of them split up.
Although the benefits are attractive, not everyone values this kind of hard-earned money.
For example, those who have shops and apartments for rent in Kanamachi Bay naturally do not have much interest in breeding Egyptian pond lice.
Soon Wang Baorui rented 4 acres of rice fields, and Wang Baorui also rented 5 acres of rice fields.
afternoon.
Inside the office building of Yandunshan Feed Factory. The Breeding Contracting Office came here specifically to work. One after another, the previously contracted breeders came to apply for an increase in the breeding scale, and new breeders came to apply for the contract.
The newly released quota of 3,600 acres has been divided up by the villagers of Nanhu Village, Yanding Village, Xinxiang, Jinding Village, Changsha Village and Nanfen Village who live near the water on a first-come-first-served basis.
Interest is indeed the most attractive thing.
Before officially harvesting fish, many fish farmers were still hesitant. Now, as soon as they got the money and heard that Hailufeng Company was going to expand the scale of acquisitions, they couldn't wait to expand the scale proactively.
In addition to the 436 households that signed contracts before, 755 more households have been added in the past few days, bringing the total number of contracted farmers to 1,191, with a breeding area of 4,921 acres.
This covers almost all the low-lying idle wasteland near Magong Town, and also accounts for more than 2,000 acres of rice fields.
Even several farmers who had previously raised vannamei shrimp came over to sign a contract.
The main reason for this situation is that the culture efficiency of Penaeus vannamei is not high. Farmers with better technology can achieve a yield of about 300 kilograms per mu by using earthen ponds. The purchase price of 20 to 30 white shrimps per kilogram is only 40. The price is about 12,000 yuan per acre, which is worth 12,000 yuan per acre.
After taking away the costs, there is not much money to make at all.
Moreover, there is an even more troublesome problem in cultivating Penaeus vannamei, which is the impact of extreme weather, especially extreme high temperatures in summer. If the water temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius for several days, a whole pond of shrimps can be wiped out.
Extreme weather has become more frequent in recent years, causing many farmers to suffer.
Compared with the vannamei shrimp and the like, which can easily die for you, tropical freshwater fish such as the Egyptian pond lice are not only resistant to high temperatures, but also tolerant to low oxygen and extremely disease-resistant.
The survival ability of the Egyptian pond lice in Lingnan is only surpassed by the scavenger fish that invaded in recent years.
After confirming that Hailufeng Company would purchase the shrimp at a price, the farmers who raised white shrimp couldn't sit still and immediately chose to change their business.
What white shrimp?
Climb for me!
I won’t serve you anymore!
The Egyptian pond lice is our true love!
The hearts of farmers are like the weather in June, which can change at any time.
In fact, it is not impossible to raise Penaeus vannamei. If a high-standard indoor breeding plan is adopted, the yield per mu can reach 2,500 to 6,500 kilograms.
But this comes back to a more fundamental issue.
The investment cost of a high-standard indoor breeding farm is too high, and the operating cost is also not low. It is simply not something that ordinary farmers can afford.
No wonder many local shrimp farmers choose to change their business and invest in cultivating Egyptian pond lice.
Just when Hailufeng Company was expanding its Egyptian pond lice farmers on a large scale.
The company has not forgotten the development of other businesses.
For example, the fish ball factory and indoor breeding farm south of the Yandunshan Feed Factory are being renovated and constructed at an astonishing speed and are expected to be put into use by the end of September.
At the same time, Nanhu Farm’s 500 acres of newly rented greenhouse farmland is undergoing rapid transformation as the rice harvest is completed.
In the Nanhu Edible Fungi Base, 30 acres of white truffles have been planted in six batches since mid-July. It is expected that the first batch of 5 acres of white truffles will be harvested in late October this year.
Likewise, as greenhouses were built one after another, the tomato tissue culture seedlings and ginseng fruit tissue culture seedlings produced in the tissue culture laboratory were also transplanted into the greenhouses in rows.
Tomato harvest begins three months after transplanting, in mid-to-late October.
Ginseng fruits are harvested four months after transplanting, that is, in mid-to-late November.
The expansion of these production capacities has also expanded the number of employees of Hailufeng Company. The current total number of employees is approaching the 600 mark.
There are 114 people at the headquarters (including reserve employees), 86 people at Nanhu Farm, 124 people at Yanding Farm (including reserve employees at Yandunshan Breeding Farm), 88 people at Wharf Cannery (including reserve employees at Yandunshan Fish Ball Factory), Yandun There are 92 people in Shan Feed Factory and 25 people in Meilong Gold and Silver Processing Factory.
There are 18 field salespersons in the sales department, 11 in the Qiongzhou branch, 5 in the urban gold store, and 7 in the urban specialty store.
A total of 570 people.
These are just the regular employees. There are also a dozen temporary workers at Nanhai Farm.
Next, the fish ball factory also needs to recruit a large number of female workers to kill fish. However, there is a high probability that a large number of these female workers will be regular employees. After all, this is a semi-mechanized production line. Employees do not need to kill fish directly, but they must handle it. The fish meat picked out by the machine.
The management of the real estate company has gradually been put in place,
The general manager of Hailufeng Real Estate Company is Su Xiaoqiang, who previously worked in a branch of Duanxiao Real Estate Company in Yangcheng and was a project manager.
However, as their boss went to weep behind bars, Su Xiaoqiang's job was ruined. In addition, the real estate market was not doing well in the past few years, so he was willing to work at Hailufeng Company.
Jiang Miao read this person's resume and interviewed him personally. He felt that his professional skills were not bad, but his personality was relatively Buddhist. This was one of the reasons why he was selected.
After all, Jiang Miao wants his subordinates to be honest and obedient, and management that is too ambitious will never catch his eye.
As the company gradually expands, some departments and industries are also gradually adjusted.
After merging the agricultural planting division.
Recently, the canning factory, fish ball factory, and breeding farm have been merged again, and merged into the aquaculture division for unified management, with brother-in-law Zhang Xincheng as the manager and Li Xinhua as the deputy manager.
Immediately afterwards, a feed business department was set up above the feed factory, with Fang Yi as temporary manager.
The gold and silver processing factory, gold store, specialty store, and headquarters central kitchen were merged into the physical business department, with sister Jiang Xia as the manager.
The online store department was changed to the e-commerce business department, and Zhang Xinyi was still the manager.
At this point, Hailufeng Agricultural Technology Company has formed eight departments at the headquarters: Human Resources Department, Finance Department, Legal Department, Sales Department, Purchasing Department, Logistics Department, Attendance Department, and Scientific Research Department.
In addition, there are three offices: the Chairman’s Office, the General Manager’s Office, and the Environmental Protection Office.
As well as five business divisions: agricultural planting division, aquaculture division, feed division, physical commercial division, and e-commerce division.
There are also two branches and an independent real estate company.
Lu Weibin, who had just assumed the position of manager of the Agricultural Planting Division, has also been very busy recently. He does not need to worry about things at Nanhu Farm. After all, most of the work is already on track.
What really troubles him is renting land in urban areas and Haifeng County to grow durians.
The hilly area of Haifeng County is 350,000 acres, and the mountainous area is 500,000 acres. Including the mountainous hills in the urban area, it seems possible to rent tens of thousands of acres.
In fact, it is really easy to rent land.
The problem is that most of the land that can be rented is fragmented and cannot be integrated into one piece at all. This will invisibly increase the difficulty of management and increase production costs.
Lu Weibin had no choice but to sway people and first use his connections in Magong Town and Hongcao Town to acquire 14,000 acres of barren mountain land in more than a dozen villages.
These lands can basically be divided into three large areas, namely the Yandunshan area of 3,829 acres, the Nanfen Qingcao area of 5,811 acres, and the Pubian Beishan area of 5,409 acres.
After taking over the land, only the hillside land with orchards was left. These lands were very troublesome. Lu Weibin did not want to complicate the matter, so he gave up the idea of continuing to expand durian plantations in the city.
He set his sights on Pinghe Town, Haifeng County.
Through the matchmaking of the Magong Town Government, Lu Weibin reached a cooperation agreement with the Pinghe Town Government on behalf of Hailufeng Company and planned to invest in a durian plantation covering an area of 50,000 acres in the town.
Although the team of the Pinghe Town Government was a little unbelievable, they did not refuse the huge real money investment from Hailufeng Company.
Six pieces of forest land were quickly allocated to Hailufeng Company, totaling a total of 52,000 acres.
With so much land, it does not mean that it can be planted immediately.
There is still a lot of work to prepare in the early stage, such as building simple roads, building small storage tanks, laying watering pipes, plantation management stations, clearing trees and big rocks in barren mountains and ridges, building fire isolation zones, and finally planting beautiful exotic plants. Kapok tree.
It is estimated that these investments will require several hundred million.
But the investment is worth it.
As long as these 66,000 acres of durian planting are completed, approximately 264,000 tons of durians can be harvested by August 2027.
Even if the wholesale price is 30,000 yuan per ton, 264,000 tons are still worth 7.92 billion yuan.
Of course, this is only a temporary estimate, because durian planting will also be affected by weather, especially typhoons.
This is why when Lu Weibin chose the location of his plantation, he chose an area not directly facing the South China Sea, just to avoid being hit directly by the typhoon.
However, his worries were somewhat unnecessary. Jiang Miao had already made preparations. The durians he was studying were all dwarf types. On the one hand, it was for convenience in picking, and on the other hand, it was to prevent typhoons.
