Chapter 298 The multi-million-ton cold storage group was officially put into use
In May 2014, the two large cold storage groups invested by Liu Xiahui were completed one after another and can be officially put into use.
The biggest difference is the temperature of the cold storage, the general cold storage temperature is minus 18 degrees, and the two cold storage groups invested by Liu Xiahui are below minus 55 degrees.
As we all know, the lower the temperature of the cold storage, the more expensive the equipment you need, which is directly proportional.
Correspondingly, the lower the temperature, the longer the storage time, there is no doubt about it.
Especially for high-end seafood, if you want to maintain the best taste, it must be stored at ultra-low temperature.
After the cold storage was built, although there were still three or four years before the outbreak of swine fever in 2018, Yanagi still instructed to go down and prepare for storing pork from now on.
This cold storage actually has a very big role, it can be sold high and sucked low like stocks, which is also a very effective way for many large catering companies to reduce costs.
Take pork as an analogy, in a year, the price of pork cannot always stabilize at a certain number, but with the supply and demand of the price constantly adjusted, and this price fluctuation is not small.
At this time, those large catering enterprises with cold storage have a place to play, when the price of pork is low, you can buy a large amount of pork and store it.
When the price of pork rises, the pork that has been stored before is used.
When the price of pork fell again, it continued to be purchased and stored.
By repeating the round-trip, the pork can be kept at the lowest price.
This cost has fallen, and the competitiveness of the enterprise has naturally come up.
The same is true for other ingredients, which are all used to reduce costs by throwing high and sucking low.
This is the advantage of large catering enterprises, the original purchase volume, the price is much cheaper, plus the lowest price all year round, where is the competitiveness of those small catering enterprises can compare?
As the largest catering enterprise in China, Laoliu Catering has been using cold storage to store various ingredients before, but because the self-built cold storage is relatively small, it cannot keep up with the development speed of Laoliu Catering, so it basically rents other people's cold storage to use in the later stage.
Nowadays, two large cold storage groups that can store millions of tons have been built, and there is no need to worry that the cold storage cannot keep up with the development speed of Laoliu Catering.
Of course, because the two cold storage groups of Liu Xiahui are too big, they can accommodate millions of tons of pork, and it is not easy to quietly fill the cold storage group at the lowest price.
After all, the annual pork output of the entire Guizhou Province is only more than two million tons, and what Liu Xiahui wants to store is more than the pork output of one province, and the impact is still very large.
Fortunately, it can be stored in batches, rather than all at once, otherwise it will definitely cause fierce fluctuations in pork prices.
Besides, there are still three or four years before the arrival of swine fever, and Liu Xiahui is not in a hurry to fill the cold storage group, first let his subordinates watch the operation, throw high and suck low, let the cold storage group run, and wait until 2017 to fill the cold storage group.
The main reason for this is that frozen pork also has a shelf life.
For normal cold storage, the retention period of pork is one year.
Liu Xiahui invested in the cold storage group willing to bear the cost, the storage temperature is very low, the shelf life can be appropriately extended, but at most it will be extended by a few months, it is impossible to store for three or four years.
Therefore, now these two large cold storage groups can only be used for their own use for the time being, not only for storing pork, but also beef, mutton, chicken, duck, goose, seafood and various ingredients that can be stored, so that the cost can be greatly reduced.
The cost saved is enough to support the operation and daily maintenance of the cold storage.
......
Recently, the development of Laoliu Takeaway has been extremely rapid, and the drainage of more than one billion registered users has not only rubbed the early Eleme on the ground, but even Meituan, which has just received $300 million in Series C financing and has a valuation of more than $3 billion, has to bow down in the field of takeaway.
The current Laoliu takeaway, which is a well-deserved brother in the takeaway field, occupies more than half of the market share of the takeaway market.
Of course, Meituan and Ele.me are the two major takeaway hegemons in their previous lives, and their competitiveness is still very strong, especially Meituan, because it involves all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and its potential cannot be underestimated.
Anyway, Liu Xiahui never thought about dominating the takeaway market, as long as Lao Liu's takeaway can't make a fool of himself, whether it is Ele.me or Meituan, it is still extremely difficult to surpass it in the field of takeaway.
After all, Laoliu Takeaway has the full support of WeChat, no need to register, directly authorize WeChat login, you can operate, and it is also extremely convenient to use WeChat payment, which is the advantage of Laoliu Takeaway, not that Ele.me and Meituan can compare.
But then again, for the takeaway industry, the takeaway brother is very important, if the management of the takeaway brother is not in place, there is a takeaway scandal like the previous life, it will still have a very big impact on the company's reputation.
For example, a news that Liu Shita Hui once watched in his previous life, a takeaway brother opened the customer's meal on the way to deliver the meal, ate two bites and spit it inside, and then delivered it normally.
All this was recorded by the surveillance in the elevator hall and posted online.
The so-called grain of rat droppings spoiled a pot of porridge, which is what it means to say that the personal behavior of a takeaway brother has greatly affected the company's reputation.
Liu Xia Hui naturally didn't want the old Liu takeaway he founded, and he also encountered this kind of disgusting thing, so he took precautions, so he gave an order to the design department to let them design a special takeaway lunch box.
The person in charge of the design department asked, "Boss, what kind of requirements do you have for this takeaway lunch box?"
"Of course, there are requirements, this takeaway lunch box is best to use a disposable design, except for the user, other people open the lunch box and cannot be closed in good condition again. ”
Liu Xia Hui said: "For example, if you get a safety buckle out, users can check the integrity of the safety buckle before signing for it to judge whether the takeaway has been opened in transit!"
The person in charge of the design department nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, boss, please give me half a month, I will definitely design a perfect takeaway lunch box for you, boss!"
Liu Xia Hui nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll wait for good news!"
In fact, this idea, Liu Xiahui is borrowing from the Ele.me of the previous life, the Ele.me of the previous life in 2018, he promoted such a disposable lunch box, if the takeaway lunch box safety buckle sent by the takeaway brother has been broken, the user has the right to refuse to receive the goods, and complain to the platform.
The lid of this takeaway box uses a double-layer buckle, and ordinary disposable plastic lunch boxes only have one layer of buckles, and it is inevitable that the soup will leak due to bumps during the delivery process.
The design of the double-layer buckle of the safety lunch box greatly enhances the overall sealing of the lunch box.
Not to mention anything else, at least with the existence of this safe lunch box, it can avoid some psychologically abnormal takeaway brothers from making any demon moths on the way to deliver food, which will affect the company's reputation.
......
Because the two sisters-in-law were pregnant and gave birth together, after the child was born, Liu Xiaxue was not in a hurry to return to the Tang family's base camp in Shanghai, but chose to stay.
Anyway, my brother also gave her a mansion, and it is quite convenient to live here.
And Tang Zicheng, now accompanying his wife and children is his main task, and as for work and the like, his mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law are basically responsible.
Tang Yipin and Liu Xiaoshuai, the two old watches, grew up together, which is quite interesting.
As the saying goes, seven sits, eight climbs, nine long teeth, now the two little guys are eight months old, which is the age to learn to crawl, at this time Tang Xiaomin and Liu Xiaxue, the sister-in-law, are teasing the two little guys.
"Xiaoshuai, climb to Mom!"
"Yipin, mom is here, you crawl here!"
Seeing the sweet smiles on Tang Xiaomin and Liu Xiaxue's faces, Liu Xiahui suddenly remembered his previous life, and he often remembered some things in his previous life this time.
Tang Xiaomin in his previous life, because he almost broke off the relationship with his parents, and her husband owed more than 100,000 or 200,000 online loans, the whole family was crumbling, and she was about to be depressed.
And Sister Liu's snow is not much better, because she has been hurt by love, although she walked out under the persuasion of her best friend, but since then she has stayed away from her feelings, until Liu Xia Hui is reborn, Liu Xiaxue, who is almost forty years old, is still single, and has no intention of getting married.
In this life, due to the rebirth of Yanagi Hui, the fate of the sister-in-law was completely changed.
Therefore, seeing the sweet smiles on their faces, Liu Shita Hui felt indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
When the two little guys were tired of climbing, Tang Xiaomin and Liu Xiaxue hugged each other, Liu Xiahui said: "Sister, Xiaomin, it's okay to be idle recently, why don't you go out for a trip together?"
Liu Xiaxue smiled: "Yes, where do you want to travel?"
Tang Xiaomin said: "Since I was pregnant with this little guy, I haven't traveled yet, so it's okay to go out for a walk!"
Liu Xiahui said: "Didn't I go to Wuzhen last year to participate in the World Internet Conference, I feel that Wuzhen is quite good, and this Wuzhen is only one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, why don't we visit the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River this time?"
Liu Xiaxue nodded and said, "Then go and visit the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River to see how different the living environment of ancient people is from our modern times!"
Tang Xiaomin said with a smile: "Sister, in this era, unless you go to the remote mountainous area that is isolated from the world, it is too difficult to find a place that is completely antique and has no modern atmosphere!"
Liu Xiaxue shook her head and smiled: "It's just to see the ancient buildings there, as well as the human history!"
Next, the three of them began to discuss how to go, whether to go directly by helicopter or take a luxury RV to play all the way.
There are also many people to go, the bodyguards must go, and the number must not be small, and the nanny who takes care of the two children also has to go, plus the family doctor who provides security and the chef who is in charge of cooking in the field must be brought.
These seven seven eighty-eight are counted as more than twenty people.
In the end, the two sisters-in-law discussed it and decided to take a luxury RV all the way over.
Travel, walking around is the most boring, if you want to go, you can stop, so it's fun to play.
Because it will take more than half a month for Liu Xiaoxian to have a holiday, Liu's father and Liu's mother will not go for the time being, but stay to pick up Liu Xiaoxian, and when the summer vacation comes, they will take Liu Xiaoxian to fly over to meet Liu Xiahui and them.
After discussion, everyone made a little preparation, and two days later the large army set off.
......
The six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River refer to the ancient towns of Zhouzhuang, Tongli, Luzhi, Xitang, Wuzhen and Nanxun, which are the most representative towns in the south of the Yangtze River in China. They are unique in the world and well-known at home and abroad for their profound historical and cultural heritage, beautiful and graceful water town style, and simple Wunong soft language folk customs.
Among the six ancient towns, Xitang, Wuzhen and Nanxun belong to Zhejiang Province. And Zhouzhuang, Tongli, and Luzhi belong to Suzhou Province, and they all belong to the jurisdiction of Suzhou City, which shows that Suzhou and Hangzhou were really not in vain.
Although the destination is the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery along the way Liu Xiahui and others will not be missed, so they will not rush one by one, but stop as they go, highlighting a freewheeling.
Liu Xiahui and others used three top-level RVs for this trip, each of which is customized, with both "house" and "car" two functions, and is a kind of mobile luxury RV with basic facilities necessary for home.
The home facilities on the car include: bedding, stoves, refrigerators, cabinets, sofas, dining tables and chairs, toilet facilities, air conditioning, TV, stereo and other furniture and electrical appliances.
It can be divided into driving area, living area, bedroom area, sanitary area, kitchen area and so on.
And the RV where Liu Xiahui and others are located is the top RV among the top RVs, not only the bedroom bar is readily available, but the whole vehicle also has floor heating supply, and its luxury can refresh the imagination of the dicks.
The three top-of-the-line RVs are all extended versions, and accommodating more than 20 people is just a small matter.
Along the way, the return rate of the three top RVs was really 100%, and there were even many drivers who drove hundreds of kilometers in order to watch for a while, almost making Liu Xiahui's bodyguards listed as terrorists.
Three days later, Liu Xiahui and others appeared in Hangzhou.
In Hangzhou, Liu Xiahui only came in a hurry once in his previous life, but he came a lot in this life.
Of course, it was the first time that I came to play with my family.
This is Mr. Ma's base camp, at this time Ali is making final preparations for the listing, if nothing happens, Ali will be officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange in September.
Moreover, if Yanagi is not mistaken, Ali's listing has set a record for the largest IPO in history.
At this time, if you can buy Ali's original shares, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
When he was traveling to West Lake with his family at night, Liu Xiahui was thinking about whether it was possible to buy some original shares from other shareholders of Alibaba, even if it was ten times or even dozens of times the premium, he could make a lot of money!
Liu Xiahui had this idea before, but he didn't have the intention of contacting other shareholders of Ali because he felt that it was difficult to buy before, but now that he thinks about it, he has made a big profit, and he doesn't lose if he doesn't make it, so why not give it a try?
