Xikang Province has a special teahouse culture, and every city, county, township, town, and village has a teahouse. Even in villages that are so poor that birds don't, there is at least one teahouse, and in slightly richer villages, there are even several teahouses open at the same time.

The amount of tea used in these teahouses alone is enough to feed several tea factories.

However, there are also many folk roasted tea workshops, and the price of tea produced by small workshops is cheaper than that of regular tea factories.

This put Rongping Tea Factory in an embarrassing situation, the products could not be sold to other places, and the local roasted tea workshop robbed business, completely unable to figure out its own positioning.

Song Weiyang showed an embarrassed expression: "Uncle Fan, I'm afraid this is not easy." Our canning factory is still in the initial stage of development, and if we rashly take over the tea factory, I am afraid that we will drag ourselves down. ”

Fan Zhengyang said: "Yangyang, you and your father are both people with real skills, as long as you merge the tea factory, you will definitely be able to turn losses into profits." You can rest assured, I am responsible for the placement of tea factory workers, and I will definitely not hold back entrepreneurs. ”

"I'll think about it again. Song Weiyang said.

"It's time to think about it," Fan Zhengyang said with a smile, "Let's go, take me to see the situation in the cannery." ”

Song Weiyang said: "Secretary Fan, please!"

Fan Zhengyang put his hands behind his waist, held an iron teacup in his hand, and his Zhongshan suit was also wrinkled, not like the secretary of a city, but more like a grassroots cadre in a village and town.

The secretary ran in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and there was a city newspaper reporter.

This kind of reporter is specially responsible for writing government news, and tomorrow it will definitely be the headline again: Secretary Fan of the Municipal Party Committee went to Xifeng Food and Beverage Company to investigate and listen carefully...... Learn more about ...... Secretary Fan pointed out...... Secretary Fan emphasized...... The city's light industry has once again stepped onto a new level.

Song Weiyang and Fan Zhengyang walked to the front, followed by Yang Dexi, the director of the office, and the secretary of the secretary. The reporter also made a special trip to accompany him, and quietly stuffed a red envelope of 50 yuan, which was not shabby, and the 50 yuan carriage and horse fee was already very generous.

Song Weiyang pointed to the new plant and said: "The two newly introduced high-tech assembly lines have been commissioned and put into production for a month. We have recruited 50 new permanent workers, and more than 400 temporary workers are working overtime to carry out production, and we plan to make 100 temporary workers regular after the Spring Festival. ”

"Well, it has done a very good job and increased the number of jobs for the people," Fan Zhengyang said, "and I would like to make a suggestion that in terms of recruitment, laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises should be the mainstay." ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "It should be." ”

Fan Zhengyang said: "The issue of reemployment of laid-off workers has always been the top priority of the government's work. If the canneries can help reduce the burden on the government, I will consider reducing taxes by reducing the proportion of workers employed in the lower ranks. ”

"Then thank you so much Secretary Fan. Song Weiyang was still smiling.

Laid-off workers naturally deserve sympathy, but private business owners do not like to use them very much, preferring to recruit local farmers to work. Although the peasants have low education, they are simple, industrious, and full of vitality, while many laid-off workers are lazy, complaining about this and that, and even looking down on private enterprises in their hearts.

The 50 newly recruited regular workers were all laid-off workers, but after a month, there were many problems, and Yang Xin planned to dismiss at least 15 of them.

After accompanying Fan Zhengyang around the factory for more than half an hour, Song Weiyang sent people out of the gate again, went back and quietly found his mother and said: "Mom, you are responsible for negotiating with the government, and the tea factory will definitely be taken down, but there must be no remaining problems." ”

"Do you really want to buy a tea factory?" Guo Xiaolan reminded, "that factory has long been insolvent, and it has not been paid wages for a year." ”

Song Weiyang said: "If the debt is less than 10 million, we will carry it, and let the city government solve it if it is more." Also, the tea factory is not the key, the most important thing is to win the 'Qingshan Tea Field', and it would be better if it could cover all the Daqingshan. ”

Daqingshan is the highest mountain peak in Rongping City, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, but the traffic is a little inconvenient.

Guo Xiaolan said: "You think too much, there are mines in Daqingshan, and the mines under the central enterprises, the municipal government is not qualified to give them to you." ”

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "I don't want mines, just tea farms and some mountains and forests." ”

"The city government is definitely willing to find a way to use the tea farm to pay off the debts of the tea factory," Guo Xiaolan asked, "but what do you want so much tea for?" ”

Song Weiyang said: "Make tea drinks. ”

"Tea can still be used as a drink? Guo Xiaolan was surprised.

"If we make it, won't it be available on the market?" Song Weiyang said with a smile.

Guo Xiaolan reminded: "It's best not to toss around, the new plant and new equipment have used a lot of money, and the marketing and publicity expenses have exceeded 5 million, don't look at our canned food sales, but it has always been a debt operation, and now it still owes the bank nearly 10 million!

Song Weiyang said: "It's okay, even if you make tea drinks, you will start to distribute a large number of goods in the summer, and the funds of the canning factory will be returned early." ”

Guo Xiaolan couldn't dissuade her, so she could only say: "Be careful in everything." ”

"I understand. Song Weiyang said.

Guo Xiaolan doesn't know whether to be happy or worried, this child is too much like his father, he likes to do things like to rush forward, and he doesn't know what it means to be steady and steady.

……

As the year approaches, the canneries are busier.

Due to the seasonal constraints of fruits, the production of canned yellow peaches and canned apples has long been suspended, and now all canned oranges are made.

Song Weiyang carried a set of canned gifts of "Supreme Hongyun" and came to the home of the principal of the School of Light Chemical Engineering.

After reporting his identity, Principal Peng was very enthusiastic: "Oh, Director Xiao Song, rare guests, please come in!"

"It's me who bother, I wish Principal Peng a happy Spring Festival in advance!" Song Weiyang did not dare to slack off, from the administrative level, this Principal Peng and Fan Zhengyang belong to the same level of leadership.

Principal Peng didn't have any official pretensions, so he personally made tea and said: "Director Xiao Song, your canned food is very powerful, I went to the capital for a meeting a few days ago, and the railway stations in the capital are all sold." ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "Luck." ”

The two chatted, and Song Weiyang finally made his intentions clear: "President Peng, we at Xifeng Food and Beverage Company hope to carry out long-term scientific research cooperation with the School of Light Chemical Engineering. ”

"That's a good thing," Principal Peng asked, "how are you going to cooperate?"

Song Weiyang said: "Xifeng contributed money, and the School of Light Chemical Engineering produced scientists, and worked together to establish the 'Food Engineering Experimental Center'. In 1994, Xifeng Company was willing to invest 1 million yuan in research, which was directly doubled in 1995 and at least 5 million yuan in 1996. As long as Xifeng's food and beverage work can continue to grow, the annual investment will also increase!"

Principal Peng finally became interested, sat up straight and said: "Director Xiao Song has a vision, and he sees a longer term than most private entrepreneurs at present!"

Rongping City is indeed backward, remote, ideologically closed, and conservative in policy, but it also has very obvious advantages.

For example, this light chemical engineering college has a very high level of scientific research in the field of chemical fermentation, and Song Weiyang would be too stupid to let it go.

Of course, President Peng is also happy that the School of Light Chemical Engineering was established to serve third-tier enterprises relocated to the mainland. However, in recent years, these third-tier enterprises have lost money one after another, and have been dismantled and closed down by six or seven percent, and the schools have no place to use, and their status in the education system has been declining day by day.

It's almost impossible to open the pot!

Song Weiyang continued: "Xifeng Food & Beverage Company will issue tasks to the 'experimental center' every year and provide a certain amount of funds. As long as the 'Experiment Center' can complete the task, then there is also a financial reward. But there is one request!"

"Please. Principal Peng said with a smile.

Song Weiyang said: "Xifeng Food and Beverage Company jointly enjoys the patent rights of all the research results of this 'Food Engineering Experimental Center' and has the right of first refusal to purchase, use and sell! Even state-owned organs and units cannot infringe on our rights." ”

Principal Peng said, "That's as it should be. ”

Principal Peng sees not only money, but also practical opportunities for teachers and students, as well as the academic, social and political impact it generates.

Of course, these are all afterwords, with an annual investment of 1 million yuan, it can only be regarded as chicken ribs.

"Knock knock!"

The two were chatting happily when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Lin Zhuoyun followed the principal's wife into the house, still carrying a gift in her hand, and when she saw Song Weiyang, she immediately said, "Why are you here?"

Song Weiyang smiled: "It's been so long since the winter vacation, and you haven't gone home yet." ”

"It's not you who hurt it!" Lin Zhuoyun said angrily.
