Chapter 117 Disaster to Chiyu (Additional update)

In October, the Lingnan land is still experiencing a heat wave.

However, the Cathay Food Factory in Shanmei City is feeling tremendous pressure.

Lin Jili, the general manager of Cathay Food Factory, who is also the company's chairman and major shareholder, is listening to the report from the head of the purchasing department.

"Boss, the amount of tilapia we purchased from outside this month has dropped to less than 200 tons."

Lin Jili frowned: "What's the reason?"

"I asked more than a dozen farmers who have cooperated with us before, and they said that the income from tilapia farming is too low. They can earn five to six thousand yuan per acre. They have all gone to raise Egyptian fish." The person in charge of the purchasing department People also looked helpless.

"Egyptian fish?" Lin Jili reacted instantly: "The Egyptian fish that Hailufeng Company is promoting?"

"Yes, it is because of Hailufeng Company that the current Egyptian fish farming scale in Magong Town has reached nearly 5,000 acres, and farmers in several nearby towns with thousands of acres of fish ponds have obtained targeted breeding licenses."
< br>

The core breeding base of Cathay Food Factory is located in Meidu Town, opposite Magong Town, and across Changsha Bay.

Cathay Pacific's self-operated breeding base in Meidu Town covers an area of ​​about 2,500 acres, nearly half of which breeds tilapia, producing 4,500 to 5,000 tons of tilapia every year. In addition, it also purchases 3,500 to 4,000 tons of tilapia from surrounding areas.

He had not anticipated the threat from Hailufeng's promotion of Egyptian fish farming.

After all, the products of the two companies do not have much overlap. It is possible that the canned eel may compete with Cathay's fish ball products, but it is actually not harmful.

However, as Hailufeng Company frantically issued targeted breeding licenses for Egyptian pond lice to surrounding farmers, Cathay Pacific finally realized something was wrong.

"How much is the profit from breeding Egyptian pond lice? How much is their purchase price?" Lin Jili asked. He had not paid much attention to this matter before. He only heard that the breeding of Egyptian pond lice in Magong Town was very popular recently.

"3 yuan per kilogram." The person in charge of the purchasing department wiped away cold sweat.

Lin Jili's eyes widened: "What? 3 yuan per kilogram? Is Jiang Miao crazy? Isn't he losing money at this price?"

"They seem to be purchasing Egyptian fish to make fishmeal and fish oil. The prices of fishmeal and fish oil have soared in recent months. The profits should be good, otherwise they would not continue to expand the scale of their acquisitions."

"Fish meal? Fish oil? I see, but can Egyptian fish meal really be sold? The content of geosin in this thing is too high, will it increase the fishy smell of aquatic products?" Lin Jili frowned.

"I heard that the 5,000-acre fish pond recently expanded by Haijing Company is for cultivating eels. They seem to have purchased eel feed from Hailufeng Company."

Upon hearing the news, Lin Jili quickly took out his cell phone and called Gu Haijing.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Brother Lin, what business do you have to take care of me, brother?"

"Haijing, I have something to ask you about. It's about Hailufeng Company. Isn't it convenient?"

"Hai Lufeng Company? Why, Brother Lin also wants to breed eels?" Gu Haijing was a little surprised.

"No, I heard that Hailufeng Company uses Egyptian fish as feed. How much does their feed cost?"

"The price depends on the type. The front section is 20,000 per ton, the middle section is 15,000 per ton, and the rear section is 20,000 per ton."

"So high? How to make money?" Lin Jili is an industry insider. He is very aware of the cost of breeding various economic fish. From eels to marketable white eels, each ton of white eels requires at least 2.6 tons of feed.

"Haha, you haven't been in Shanmei lately, have you?"

Faced with Gu Haijing's unreasonable answer, Lin Jili patiently replied: "Yes, I went to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia and just came back a week ago."

"Hai Lufeng Company's new feed formula can achieve 1.86 tons of feed per ton of white eel, and compresses the breeding cycle from one year to seven months. At the same time, 99% of the soil in the eel body can be removed through the rear feed and the flow tank. Xingsu, do you think his feed is worth the price?”

"Holy crap!? Really or fake?" Lin Jili was stunned by this data.

"Really, 500 acres of my fish ponds have been stocked with seedlings for more than two months. The eels are growing as fast as taking hormones. If I hadn't tested their feed, I would have suspected that Jiang Miao had done something. Live hard.”

Lin Jili admired the feed from Hailufeng Company very much: "The effect is indeed worth the price, but I called you today mainly because they are purchasing more and more Egyptian fish. Tilapia acquisitions have been affected ”

"Is this the case? The price of the Egyptian fish they purchased is indeed a bit high. In addition, the growth rate and breeding cost of Egyptian fish are relatively low, and the farmers' income will indeed be very high."

"Yes! It costs 3 yuan per kilogram, which makes me want to breed Egyptian fish." Lin Jili smiled bitterly.

Gu Haijing's voice sounded slowly: "Actually, it's not impossible to breed, but you need to pass the review of Hailufeng Company, otherwise it won't give you a license, and it will be useless for you to breed."

"I am joking, but now I am in some trouble. With my own breeding base, the supply of tilapia is not enough, which will affect the production of other products."

"Speaking of which, I went to Hailufeng Company before and saw that they were building a fish ball factory. Maybe it is already in production. Brother Lin should pay attention to it."

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Jili felt that Shanmei had undergone earth-shaking changes after two months away from home.

"Yeah."

"Haijing, can you help me and make an introduction? I want to get to know Jiang Miao."

"Okay! If I make a phone call, there shouldn't be a big problem. But Brother Lin, you are in competition now. He may not necessarily reduce the scale of the Egyptian fish acquisition. Even if he agrees, the local government will not agree. After all, it involves There are thousands of breeding households, many of which are poor households.”

Obviously Gu Haijing was reminding him to pay attention to the huge chain of interests behind Xiahai Lufeng Company and not to be too impulsive.

As Gu Haijing said, there are now close to 2,000 Egyptian pond lice farmers contracted by Hailufeng Company, with a direct output value of more than 1 billion yuan. Adding in indirect output value, it is already a big industry.

This is not the main business of Hailufeng Company. With the addition of other industries, Hailufeng Company has unknowingly turned into a behemoth in the local area.

Cathay Food Factory's total assets add up to about one billion, its annual revenue is only about four to five billion, and its net profit is less than one hundred million.

What are you going to do to go head-to-head with Hailufeng Company?

When the time comes, the local government will most likely side with Hailufeng Company.

This is like going to Pengcheng to sue Penguin.

It is an inevitable choice to sacrifice the small to protect the big.

"Brother, I know what's appropriate." Lin Jili is an old man, so naturally he won't be as impulsive as young people.

"That's good. I'll call you later if things can be done."

"Excuse me, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"Brother Lin is too polite."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jili fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked his secretary to investigate the details of Hailufeng Company.

Half an hour later, Gu Haijing called back again and said that he had made an appointment with Jiang Miao for him. The time would be at noon the day after tomorrow. As long as he went to the headquarters of Hailufeng Company, he could meet Jiang Miao.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting outside the window.

At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and entered.

"Boss, this is the Hailufeng Company information you requested. This is all the information we collected today. There may be some omissions."

"It doesn't matter." Lin Jili also knew that the time was too short and he could only collect a general picture.

He opened the folder, which listed the various industries of Hailufeng Company.

Including the eel fry industry with a monthly sales of about 200 million, the Nanhu Farm with an area of ​​more than 500 acres, the white truffle industry that has been hit by a recent fire, a feed factory, a fish ball factory and a new breeding farm have been put into use.

The recently invested and constructed No. 2 Feed Factory, 500 acres of strawberry plantation and strawberry processing plant in Hongcao Town.

Invested in durian plantations covering an area of ​​more than 40,000 acres.

A pumped storage reservoir has been invested and is in the process of being approved.

New office buildings and employee communities are already under construction.

As well as industries such as gold and silver processing plants, gold stores and Jianghai restaurants.

At the same time, there is also the matter of Hailufeng Company borrowing 5 billion from Shanmei Rural Commercial Bank.

After reading this information, Lin Jili was also very shocked. On the one hand, he lamented the high revenue of Hailufeng Company, and on the other hand, he was also shocked by the speed of industrial expansion of Hailufeng Company. This company has only been established for more than a year, and its scale has expanded like a balloon. It's really scary.

"However, the profit from their eel fry is estimated to be very high. Even if it is split half and half, the profit will be more than one billion a year. No wonder they dare to borrow five billion directly."

"Dad, what five billion?"

"I'm talking about the fact that Hailufeng Company borrowed 5 billion, Ruifeng, take a look at it!" Lin Jili.

Lin Ruifeng took over the documents from his father. He also went to Xiangjiang in the past few months to deal with some of the family's properties, but he did not go to Southeast Asia.

After watching it for a while, he was also shocked: "In the three industries of eel fry, white truffles, and feed alone, the annual output value of Hailufeng Company exceeds 6 billion."

"Yes! As long as this company maintains its current development momentum, it can compete with Truly Group in the future." Lin Jili sighed, but he did not forget about business: "Ruifeng, do you think there is any way we can do it?" Hailufeng Company’s ride? ”

"Let me think about it." Lin Ruifeng looked through the documents in his hand again while thinking about how to cooperate.

After all, the development momentum of Cathay Food Factory has also weakened in recent years. Although the local government promised to invest 500 million to build a marine business center, the project has not been implemented because the company is worried that spending such a large amount of money will affect the company. of cash flow.

In fact, this situation occurs because Cathay Pacific does not have much confidence in the company's future earnings expectations, so it chooses to hold on to funds and has not dared to blindly expand investment.

The seemingly gambling investment method of Hailufeng Company is actually because Jiang Miao has great confidence in Hailufeng Company's profit expectations, and he is not afraid of failure at all.

If Hailufeng Company goes bankrupt, he can still make a comeback.

But Cathay Pacific couldn't afford to gamble, and it didn't dare to gamble. Five hundred million was their profit for six or seven years. If the project failed, it might even go bankrupt.

As he was flipping through the pages, Lin Ruifeng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Dad, I have an idea."

"Oh? Tell me."

"I just looked at the industrial situation of Hailufeng Company and found that they sell some products called special-grade Egyptian pond lice. Judging from the product introduction, these products can be supplied to restaurants."

Lin Jili also read that part, but he was a little confused: "Ruifeng, I can understand that Egyptian fish is used for fishmeal, fish oil and feed, but if it is supplied to restaurants, I'm afraid no restaurant would dare to use it, right?"


"Dad, you have overlooked an important piece of information, that is, Hailufeng Company has recently opened eight Jianghai restaurants in various local towns, specializing in fish dishes. What do you think the ingredients of these Jianghai restaurants are?"
< br>

"Egyptian fish? Is it possible? Could it be an eel?"

"The profits from making eel dishes are too low. It's better for them to just sell soft canned kabayaki eels." Lin Ruifeng's eyes were somewhat clear: "Maybe I guessed some ideas of Hailufeng Company. They may be planning to use Jianghai Restaurant , allowing diners and restaurants to accept their farmed Egyptian pond lice.”

"Then what does this have to do with us?"

"Dad, is it possible that we can also produce this kind of fish?"

Lin Jili frowned again: "Buying technology? Hailufeng Company will not agree, right?"

"They can agree to license the technology to foreign companies, and naturally they can license the technology to domestic companies. As long as the price is in place, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated." Lin Ruifeng does not think this matter is unworkable.

As for the idea of ​​stealing technology, if Hailufeng Company is just a small business, there is nothing to worry about.

The problem is that Hilufone has almost become a leading local company, and Cathay Pacific is also a local company. If it dares to steal Hilufone's technology, it dare not use it here, otherwise it will go in to drink tea in a minute.

"Then we try to acquire technology?"

"Well, I can accept it even if the patent fee is paid every year. If it is as described in their product introduction, there is no earthy smell of Egyptian pond lice. Our more than 2,000 acres of fish ponds can produce 150,000 tons of Egyptian pond lice a year." , all made of fish balls and fish tofu, and selling for 20 yuan per kilogram makes a huge profit.”

"Yes, the Egyptian fish they purchased will probably only last one or two months to grow, and the cost will double to only 6 yuan per kilogram. With other accessories and miscellaneous expenses, the cost of a kilogram of fish balls will not exceed 10 yuan." Lin Jili also reacted at this time:

"150,000 tons of Egyptian fish can be used to make 150,000 tons of fish balls and fish tofu. If the gross profit of 1 ton can reach 10,000, 150,000 tons is 1.5 billion. Holy shit! If you have technology, you will be great. It is simply a money grab."


Lin Ruifeng shook his head: "From my observation of the development history of Hailufeng Company, they will not set the price too low. I estimate that 30 to 35 yuan per kilogram of fish balls and fish tofu is their bottom line."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jili couldn't help but breathe quickly. The benefits here were too great.

Lin Ruifeng continued to think: "So my bottom line is to pay Hailufeng a royalty of 15,000 yuan per ton of Egyptian pond lice, so that we still have a gross profit of 10,000 yuan."

"It feels like working for Hailufeng Company." Lin Jili smiled helplessly.

For such a high price, Lin Ruifeng feels that it is very necessary: ​​"Every loss must have a gain, otherwise why would anyone give us technology authorization?"

"That's true."

"Dad, please find a way to ask Jiang Miao to talk."

"I have entrusted Haijing to make an appointment with the other party. I will go directly to the headquarters of Hailufeng Company at noon the day after tomorrow."

"Uncle Gu, did you tell me what the other person's preferences or taboos are?"

Lin Jili nodded: "I asked by the way, Jiang Miao and his wife Lin Shuya are both engaged in technology, so they like to be straightforward when talking about things, and don't like to talk about things. He doesn't smoke or drink, so this is troublesome. , I don’t even know what to give now.”

Lin Ruifeng, who was also thinking hard, soon came up with an idea: "How about sending some local agricultural products! Dad, do you know any famous agricultural products in the surrounding area?"

"Huh? I know that the peanuts in Wutong Village next door are good. They cost more than ten yuan per pound. Your aunt even gave us fifty pounds as a gift this year."

"Is there any more?"

"I'll call and ask about your mother."

Lin Ruifeng shook his head slightly, then picked up his phone and searched for Shanmei's specialties.

Soon he found two agricultural products that were more suitable for gift giving.

They are tiger daylily and Kuichishan tangerine.

Among them, Hu'e daylily is produced in Hu'e Village, Huangqiang Town, Haifeng County. It is of high quality, has a crisp and sweet taste, does not contain sourness, and is rich in nutrients. It is a national geographical indication product.

The Kuichishan mandarin orange has a round and large fruit shape, smooth skin, firm and translucent flesh, and is light yellow or reddish yellow in color. It tastes bitter when chewed at first, but becomes more refreshing and sweet when chewed again, with a sweet aftertaste. It is a famous and high-quality new agricultural product in Lingnan Province. Fresh fruits are available in October.

As for other specialties, they are either not in season or simply not suitable.

For example, the famous Chenzhou Oyster next door to Magong Town, giving this to Jiang Miao was probably out of mind.

Soon his dad also made a call.

“There are still more than thirty kilograms of peanuts left at home, all dried and shelled.”

"I also found two things, daylilies and capers, and I will buy them tomorrow."

Lin Jili walked around and murmured to himself: "It seems like there is something missing? By the way, not only does Jiang Miao need to be sent off, but his family also needs to consider it."

The father and son also racked their brains for this cooperation.

After all, you are asking for something from someone, so naturally you have to work hard to please the other person.

"His wife studies edible fungi, why not buy some expensive mushrooms?"

"It makes sense."

"Then his parents should choose health products. However, Jiang Miao seems to have medical skills. It's better not to give away those weird health products and just buy a wild ginseng!"

"You young people are still smarter. Does he have children?"

Lin Ruifeng recalled: "Probably not? After all, he only got married this year."

"That's it! Ruifeng, please collect these gifts as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Lin Ruifeng hurriedly looked for these things, especially those valuable edible fungi, which had to be shipped by air, so they had to be shipped urgently tonight.

Jiang Miao, who was still in the laboratory, didn't know that someone was preparing to give him a gift.
