Chapter 265 Expansion
As time comes, the end of December.
Jiang Miao and his wife also returned to the headquarters of Hailufeng Company.
Other management teams who are rotating in branches in various places also returned to the headquarters at the end of this month to start making year-end summary.
Inside the chairman's office of the headquarters.
Jiang Miao, Zhang Xincheng, Jiang Xia, Jiang Haibo, Qin Hanming, Lu Weibin, Ye Meijing, Wang Haochen and others are all here.
Ye Meijing, the head of the Finance Department, was the first to speak. She stood up, came to a small whiteboard, and picked up the marker: "The company's finances are good at present. Although the revenue of the old business has not grown much, there are no serious problems overall; the new business continues to develop."
Jiang Miao looked through the financial statements.
This year, all industries of Hailufeng Company are developing.
The traditional white truffle business, eel fry business, and pandan spice business are all very stable, with revenue similar to last year. After all, this is a high-value product and will definitely not increase production capacity on a large scale in the future, which destined that the revenue of these industries will be fixed.
The feed industry, food industry, agricultural products industry, and aquatic industry have made considerable progress. "This year, our agricultural product industry's revenue increased very significantly." Ye Meijing said, writing some data on the whiteboard: "The durian industry has a cumulative revenue of 17.7 billion yuan this year, the banana industry has a cumulative revenue of 28.6 billion yuan this year, the abaca industry has a cumulative revenue of 64.8 billion yuan this year, and the soybean industry..."
Luxury agriculture is relatively high in unit gross profit margin, but its scale can never be comparable to basic agricultural products.
Jiang Miao looked at the financial report of the banana industry, which listed in detail various financial data of the entire industrial system.
This year, the planting area of the Mike series banana in Qiongzhou has exceeded 1.87 million mu, and it is approaching rapidly from the upper limit of 2.5 million mu set by Hailufeng Company.
Of these 1.87 million mu of Mike series bananas, 640,000 mu have been harvested this year, and about 3.264 million tons of bananas and about 812,800 tons of abaca were obtained.
The revenue per ton of banana is 8,792 yuan, and the revenue per ton of abaca is 79,700 yuan.
Jiang Miao saw that in the gross profit margin, the gross profit margin of the Mike series Banana was 24.6%, and the gross profit margin of the abama was 53.7%.
Of course, the abaca here is not a simple raw material for abaca fiber, but includes twine, linen, sacks, carpets, clothes, home textiles, cables and various by-products. Only when these industrial chains are superimposed can they have a gross profit margin of 53.7%.
By the same token, the fairy bean soybean industry and the fairy bean soybean industry are also calculating the total gross profit margin of the overall industrial chain.
Ye Meijing spoke with a dry mouth and took nearly three hours to briefly explain the financial situation this year to Jiang Miao and others.
In summary, this year, Hailufeng Company's total revenue was very exaggerated, reaching an astonishing 857.9 billion yuan, with a gross profit margin of 28.7%, or 246.2 billion yuan.
The reason why it can reach such an exaggerated level.
On the one hand, the total registered users of the Hailufeng Store APP have reached 130 million, and as many as 879 are offline physical stores, 108 warehousing centers and 108 warehousing supermarkets, these channels have formed huge sales.
Offline channels alone achieved revenue of 84.2 billion, plus online revenue of 274.7 billion, these two channels combined accounted for revenue of 358.9 billion.
After all, Hailufeng Company has many products that are monopolized by domestically, such as durian and Mike series bananas, and the two products are sold for tens of billions.
In addition to the vegetables, fruits, aquatic products, meat, eggs, milk and agricultural and sideline products of cooperative farmers and cooperative enterprises, each product can be sold at least tens of millions of dollars, and the number of thousands of products is hundreds of billions of dollars.
In addition, the derivative products of abaca and bean shreds are also the focus of sales.
These things are accumulated, they are not small.
Of course, the current financial statement data is just the gross profit margin and does not calculate taxes and loans.
This year, Hailufeng Company has borrowed huge amounts of funds during its great development. At present, the company's total loan amount is 75.6 billion, and it has repaid a total of 8.4 billion.
This is very financially good.
The main reason is that Hailufeng Company has strong technology, excellent product quality, and high cost performance, which has formed a brand effect.
Although compared with other e-commerce platforms, Hailufeng's franchise store APP seems to behave in an average way, the difference in the business model of the two has caused a huge difference.
Currently, according to the analysis of the market research department of Hailufeng Company.
Ali (including Tao.com): The annual revenue in fiscal year 2027 is about 907.9 billion yuan, much less than the 1.074 trillion yuan in 2025, and the net profit is only about 75.1 billion yuan.
Pinxixi's annual revenue in 2027 reached 227.4 billion yuan, nearly 90 billion yuan less than the revenue of 314.4 billion yuan in 2025, and its net profit was 57.9 billion yuan.
Goudong's revenue in 2027 remained at 987.4 billion yuan, the smallest decline among the three major e-commerce platforms. This may be related to the type of products it sells. The main digital products and electrical products were not severely impacted by Hailufeng Company, and its net profit was 20.6 billion yuan.
Obviously, the turnover obtained by the Hailufeng franchise store APP did not appear out of thin air for no reason, but was snatched from Taowang, Pinxixi, and Goudong. With some of the users they trained, they formed such a huge sales scale.
However, if you analyze the operating modes of the four e-commerce platforms in depth, you will know that the net profit of the Hailufeng franchise store APP is not high, about 10%.
This is related to the business model of Hailufeng Company.
Because all the business departments of Hailufeng Company have to calculate their own profits, it is impossible to work for other business departments in vain.
For example, the planting business department sells agricultural products to the sales business department, physical business department, and e-commerce business department, and it is definitely impossible to supply them at the cost price, but to calculate a reasonable internal profit.
The same is true for other business units.
The charges can be a little cheaper than outside, but they cannot be too cheap. Brothers can settle the accounts clearly, which is the current situation of various business departments within the company.
In fact, even if it is a little cheaper than outside, the accumulated costs of each link are not a small amount. This system makes Hailufeng Company's products more competitive.
Goudong also has its own logistics system and franchise stores. Why is their overall profit still relatively low? The answer is that their company is just a platform and belongs to the scope of the service industry, not a production company.
Hailufeng Company itself is a raw material producer, a deep processing enterprise, and also transportation, warehousing and sales, directly connecting the secondary and tertiary industries from the primary industry.
This is the difference between the two.
If the industrial chain in all links is not penetrated enough, changes in all aspects of the market must be considered.
For example, the factory price of a graphics card has increased, so what can I do to solve it? The answer is no.
Because he does not have the ability to produce graphics cards, he can only follow the trend in the market, and at most he can only use the volume of procurement to make the manufacturer cheaper, but there is absolutely no way to regulate the market price of graphics cards.
Hailufeng Company is different. Either you don’t do it or you have to master the industrial chain.
Try not to involve products without competitiveness, or make them competitive.
…
During lunch.
The meeting continued, but everyone had dinner together and chatted about some things, and there was no formal discussion.
Jiang Miao picked up a chopstick and fried onion: "This onion is good. I ate it once in Minqin, and I felt that this vegetable has potential."
Lu Weibin, head of the Agricultural Planting Department, said with a smile: "At present, Liangzhou Branch has contracted 2,000 acres of land around Liangzhou and built a greenhouse base specializing in growing onion. Using our new technology and airship transportation, this specialty vegetable can be eaten from all over the country in the future."
"Yeah..." Ye Meijing, who had been talking for more than three hours, nodded and buried herself in the process of cooking. However, after eating the scallion, she really felt it was good because she liked eating leek dumplings very much. Sand onion is actually a plant of the same family as chives, and the taste is very similar, but the taste is different. Chives are soft and tender, while sand onion is crisp and tender. At the same time, sand onion is not as strong as leeks, so there will be no obvious tone problems after eating.
Zhang Xincheng took a bite: "Is this sand onion and leek relative?"
Lu Weibin, who was holding a white-cut chicken, nodded: "Yes! They are from the same family and are very close to each other, and even the harvesting method is the same. After cutting, as long as the roots are not damaged, a second crop will grow soon."
"In fact, this mulberry is also good." Jiang Xia prefers slippery mulberry.
"Yeah..." Ye Meijing also picked up a chopstick and stir-fried garlic.
Zhang Chengdong, who is in charge of the scientific research department, said while eating: "Now sand and onions are mainly wild varieties. We have set up a variety cultivation laboratory in Liangzhou to strive to cultivate high-quality sand and onions with higher yields in the future."
"Is the water in Liangzhou sufficient?" Qin Hanming, head of the market research department, is a native of Baiyin. He knows the local water resources situation. Even if there is a company's water purification technology, it is estimated that there is no way to expand planting on a large scale.
"It's not enough." Lu Weibin went to Liangzhou to investigate and arrange industries in November, and was very clear about the current situation of local water resources. He picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: "The proportion of agricultural water in Liangzhou is too high. Of the total water use of 1.6 billion cubic meters, agriculture accounts for 1.05 billion, domestic water use is only 90 million, industry is 280 million, and ecological water replenishment is 200 million. Even if the daily and industry can save 200 million cubic meters of water, it can increase agricultural water use by less than 20%. To continue to expand agricultural planting, indoor greenhouses like ours must be used and drip irrigation technology that is efficient and water-saving."
"Drip irrigation is indeed useful, but the cost of supporting facilities is relatively high." Zhang Chengdong said helplessly.
Jiang Miao smiled and said, "The cost of drip irrigation supporting facilities will become lower and lower in the future. This is the general trend. After all, as the proportion of energy attributes of oil and coal decreases, the proportion of chemical attributes of oil and coal will increase, and the global price of oil and coal will become lower and lower."
Qin Hanming, who continues to pay attention to the market, also nodded: "The boss's inference is very reasonable. At present, the price of coal imported from Southeast Asia in China has been on a downward trend for six consecutive months. In the future, oil and natural gas will definitely be this major trend."
The latest ⊥Xiao⊥Shu⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Bar⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Zhang Chengdong, who is not very concerned about market changes, talked about another thing: "In fact, our scientific research department has been following up with a technology recently."
"What technology?" Lu Weibin picked up the freshly squeezed orange juice and took a sip.
"The room temperature drying technology developed by the Hongcao Town Freeze-dried Food Factory."
Lu Weibin immediately remembered: "Oh! So it's this technology. I learned about it a few days ago. Cheng Dong, will your scientific research department continue to study this technology in depth?"
"This technology can actually solve the problem of water use in some agricultural planting in the northwest region." Zhang Chengdong said with a smile.
The others were stunned at first, and then thought about it.
A trace of thought flashed in Lu Weibin's eyes: "Will the water left by leaving vegetables and fruits and reuse it for planting?"
Zhang Chengdong nodded slightly: "Well, it's this model. Of course, to achieve this, it is necessary to use an indoor greenhouse. At the same time, the factory must be near the planting base and select suitable crops to make this model run."
After listening to Zhang Chengdong's description, Jiang Miao also thought about the operating mode.
Soon he discovered a blind spot.
Taking white radish with relatively high moisture content as an example, in a greenhouse environment, the yield per mu can reach 4 to 6 tons. Using efficient drip irrigation technology, the full planting cycle requires 80 to 120 cubic meters of fresh water.
These two numbers obviously don't match.
Why does this happen?
The answer is that plants have transpiration effects. One acre of leafy vegetable crops will evaporate about 2 to 3 cubic meters of fresh water every day in the greenhouse. The water vapor formed by the evaporation of these fresh water will increase the humidity inside the greenhouse due to the barrier of the greenhouse film. After the cooling at night, part of the water vapor condenses into dew and is absorbed by the plants and soil again.
But consider the relationship of dynamic equilibrium.
As the accumulation of irrigation water, these water vapor will increase, reaching the humidity inside the greenhouse. In order to avoid root rot, white mold and other diseases caused by high-humidity environment, the greenhouse can only be ventilated and air-conditioned to discharge high-humidity indoor gas.
This is the fundamental reason why only 4 to 6 tons of radish were harvested and about 1 ton of leaves were consumed, but 80 to 120 cubic meters of fresh water was consumed.
Jiang Miao turned his head to look at Zhang Chengdong: "Chengdong, you can consider using celestial beans and soybeans and vegetables and fruits for joint planting, that is, planting vegetables and fruits in one greenhouse, and planting celestial beans and soybeans in the other greenhouse, and then open two greenhouses to allow the air to circulate."
"Co-planting? celestial beans and soybeans..." Zhang Chengdong murmured to himself, and soon he came to his senses, and his eyes lit up: "I understand, boss, your idea is very valuable."
Due to the characteristics of celestial beans and soybeans, its leaves and absorb water in the air can maintain good growth if they are in high-humidity air without even watering.
The root blocks will also store moisture. The root block weight of the celestial beans and soybeans in the growth period of half a year can reach about 15 to 18 tons, and their moisture content is about 96%.
If one greenhouse grows vegetables and fruits and another greenhouse grows celestial beans and soybeans, you only need to water a portion of water, and you can use the closed space in the greenhouse to supply water to celestial beans and soybeans through the air.
Of course, this is just one of the benefits.
Another advantage is that by harvesting the root blocks of fairy beans and soybeans, and then using room temperature drying technology, the water from the root blocks is extracted, the organic matter from the root blocks is pulled away to generate electricity and generate biogas, and the water is reused as greenhouse irrigation water.
In this way, nearly 40 to 50 cubic meters of fresh water can be recycled every year during the planting process of two acres of greenhouses.
This can further enhance the agricultural potential of the Northwest region.
As for why we don’t harvest open-air clay beans and soybean root pieces and squeeze water from them to use.
The reason is naturally that the growth needs of perennial soybeans are taken into account.
After all, open-air soybeans grown in the arid desert areas of the northwest need to realize their perennial capacity through the water resources stored by root blocks.
The leaves of the soybean soybean are in the open-air northwest desert environment, and the moisture that can be absorbed at night is relatively limited. Therefore, once the root block is harvested, the soybean soybeans that are replanted next year need to be pumped for groundwater to water, and the growth cycle and the first year of production will decrease.
Therefore, harvesting underground water storage roots of fairy beans and soybeans is an act that is not worth the loss in open-air desert areas.
This is different from the planting inside the greenhouse.
The inside of the greenhouse is because the water evaporates too much and is bound to the inside, so a special plant pump is needed to plant fairy beans and soybeans to achieve balance.
A rough Zhang Chengdong has been estimated. It is expected that if this joint planting method is used, 10 acres of joint planting greenhouses can be guaranteed to extract 100 to 125 cubic meters of fresh water every six months, and then 2 acres of joint planting greenhouses can be supplied.
At present, Hailufeng Company has obtained an annual quota of 20 million cubic meters of agricultural planting water in Liangzhou area. If all drip irrigation is used, it can irrigate almost 200,000 mu of greenhouse farmland.
If the joint planting model is adopted, 444,000 mu of greenhouse farmland can be planted, of which the greenhouse area where vegetables and fruits can be planted can reach 222,000 mu.
Don’t underestimate that the area of vegetable and fruit planting has increased by one tenth. If the area is expanded, it will be a considerable scale.
As for the water refining in this way, will it lead to the cost of water use too high?
In fact, there is no need to worry about this.
Because the harvested soybean root blocks contain 5% organic matter and minerals, they can be used as raw materials for power generation and organic fertilizer. This part of the income can cover the cost of harvesting the root blocks, and water is equivalent to a by-product.
Just like extracting moisture from vegetables and fruits, it is a by-product of dry vegetables and fruits. Since it is a by-product, its production cost is covered by the main products produced by the process.
Lu Weibin, who was listening with relish, also understood the operating mechanism. He smiled and said, "Then I will instruct Liangzhou Branch to set up an experimental base first. Dried vegetables and fruits are indeed conducive to promotion in the northwest region." "Well, I also think so. After all, after all, after the vegetables and fruits are completely dehydrated, the weight drops by 70 to 90%, just like transportation bubbles." Qin Hanming also expressed his own opinion.
When it comes to airships, Jiang Miao also thought of another question: "If it is like bubbles, it is estimated that airships will use special models. After all, the cargo space on the abdomen of the airship is limited. For example, the Blue Whale Type 1 can only accommodate 12 20-foot containers at most."
Others have also put forward their ideas.
