Chapter 316: Vegetable Cultivation Base

After Lai Xiaohu completed the acquisition of the store, Yang Fengze and Lang Yi also made very fast progress, after the analysis of the second dealer quotation, Yang Fengze selected two dealers with the greatest sincerity and the most affordable price for detailed negotiations. For these two dealers, Yang Fengze did not let the other party quote again, but asked the other party to send a sales manager to him to negotiate directly.

Undoubtedly, Yang Fengze's experience is very rich, he deliberately called the managers of the two dealers together, and then negotiated with each other together, and put forward their own conditions, Yang Fengze let the two managers bid in front of him, and from time to time Yang Fengze tempted the two managers with the temptation that these three trucks were only our first batch of purchases.

Although both of them saw Yang Fengze's sinister intentions, but the economic recession in the past two years, especially as the mainland and the international integration of Shanghai, the impact of the global economy is even more serious, in this environment sales work is actually very difficult to do, naturally the two companies are very important to this Lejia supermarket procurement contract, three trucks nearly one million share for the current crisis of dealers is very tempting.

After several rounds of bidding between the two sides, Yang Fengze finally compared the prices of the two companies, car brands and after-sales service, etc., and selected one as the supplier of the Lejia supermarket truck purchase, and Yang Fengze also promised the other party that if the Lejia supermarket Hucheng branch still has a purchase contract in the future, under the conditions of the same price, this dealer has the right of first choice.

After drawing up the contract, Yang Fengze showed Lai Xiaohu the contract, and after finding no problems, Lai Xiaohu agreed to the contract.

After that, Yang Fengze signed a supply contract with the dealer on the same day. The other party will deliver the three trucks purchased in accordance with the contract within three days, and all procedures will be completed at the same time.

While waiting for the other party to deliver the goods, Yang Fengze also went out to choose a warehouse for the transportation team. In the future, the transport team will definitely not be able to stay in the storefront, so Yang Fengze has to find a place for them to go, just like Lai Xiaohu did in Jincheng, find a warehouse in the city as the base camp of the transport team. In normal times, it can be used not only as a place to park the vehicles of the convoy and rest for personnel, but also as a vegetable transfer station to temporarily store the vegetables transported from outside the city. The warehouse had to be large, otherwise it would not be possible to store three trucks, let alone an area for rest and storage.

In Shanghai, a place where every inch of land is at a premium, it is really difficult to find such a warehouse with a large enough area. Not to mention that there is also a limit to the amount of money Lai Xiaohu gave to Yang Fengze, if this warehouse is too expensive, then don't do it.

There was no way, in order to find an affordable warehouse, Yang Fengze took Lang Yi and the two of them to wander around outside the center of Shanghai for two days. Yang Fengze in the city center didn't dare to think about it. Now the holidays in the city center have soared to the sky, and I want to buy or rent a large warehouse there. The cost must have exceeded the standard set by Lai Xiaohu. So Yang Fengze had to look to the edge of the city, and this place had to be in the west of the downtown area of Shanghai. Because Yang Fengze had already asked Lai Xiaohu, he knew that in the future, Lai Xiaohu would secure the vegetable planting base in the countryside west of Shanghai, so Yang Fengze had to set up a warehouse in the west in order to avoid increasing the distance.

It's hard to find a place that can meet Yang Fengze's requirements, but it's not impossible. So after two days of hard searching. Yang Fengze finally found an abandoned factory in the west.

The place was actually a small processing factory, but it closed down after it couldn't operate for its own reasons. In the past two years, the owner of the factory has not thought about reorganizing the factory or anything, but has abandoned the factory there, thinking about when his own area will be relocated or something, and he will ask for more compensation from the government.

For factories. The factory is abandoned here and does not create any value, and I don't know when I will wait for the government's demolition, saying that this area will be renovated, but there has been no movement for two or three years. The city is developing, and most of the old city must be demolished and rebuilt, but for the owner of the factory, the date of demolition is nowhere to be seen, and it is not a matter to wait like this every year.

So after waiting for two years, the boss himself was anxious, thinking that if there was no eyebrows, it would be better to sell the factory, as for the factory itself, it must not be able to sell for a few dollars, and the things that can be sold in it have already been sold out, and the remaining factory is estimated to be demolished after being bought. For this factory, the greatest value is the land underneath.

It happened that Yang Fengze came to them at this time to buy this abandoned factory, and the two sides were willing to buy and the other was willing to sell, and soon reached a consensus on the transaction.

The area of the entire abandoned factory building plus the open space outside is about 600 square meters, which is also a small workshop that was hidden in the residential area before, and the area is not very large. After many negotiations, the two sides finally reached a transfer of the factory at a price of 7 million.

A total of more than 600 square meters of factories, the price reached 7 million, an average of more than 10,000 yuan per square meter, Lai Xiaohu heard this price and shouted that it was too expensive, so that the first two times Yang Fengze asked Lai Xiaohu for money, he did not shirk on the grounds that it was too expensive, but Lai Xiaohu did not give money, Yang Fengze pestered him, and finally couldn't stand Yang Fengze's noise every day, Lai Xiaohu gritted his teeth and gave the seven million to Yang Fengze.

"It's time for me to invest in the future of this land." After giving the money to Yang Fengze, Lai Xiaohu thought helplessly.

Although the small factory is abandoned, the factory building is ready-made, if someone else buys this factory, maybe the factory building will have to be demolished and rebuilt, but for Yang Fengze, leaving this factory just saved him a lot of trouble.

Originally, he planned to use this place as a warehouse, and now a large factory is just in line with Yang Fengze's meaning, after buying the plant, Yang Fengze contacted a construction team to repaint the entire plant, and it doesn't need to look good, as long as it looks clean and hygienic. He then divided the interior into a separate cubicle for employees to rest, and the rest of the space was used to park vehicles and store vegetables.

After this matter was settled, Yang Fengze proposed to Lai Xiaohu to go back to the capital, he came this time mainly to assist Lang Yi to complete the formation of this transport team, now the transport team personnel have been recruited, the trucks have been purchased, and the warehouse has been completed, his task has been completed, and the rest of the things can be handed over to Lang Yi.

Yang Fengze wanted to return to the capital, but Lai Xiaohu didn't stop him. At this time, Zhang Ying was a little busy in the capital, so let Yang Fengze go over to help. As for the rest of the transport team, from today onwards, Lang Yi will be completely responsible for it, after the employees are in place, in addition to calling the employees together for short-term training, it is to stay these employees familiar with the roads in Shanghai and plan the transportation routes.

And Song Yaqiao and others on the other side have not been idle. Recruiting clerks is Song Yaqiao's main task, and Lai Xiaohu asked Zhuo Liya to help pay attention to these things during the Chinese New Year. However, after Lai Xiaohu made a decision to open five branches in Shanghai. Just call Zhuo Liya and don't let her worry about this matter. At first, he planned to open a branch here like the capital, and then wait for the previous year to expand, so the matter of recruiting a few store clerks can be completed by Zhuo Liya alone, but if it is to open five branches, the number of employees recruited is dozens of people. Zhuo Liya must not be busy alone, so Lai Xiaohu didn't let her be distracted by these things.

Unlike Lang Yi to recruit employees for the transportation team, Song Yaqiao is relatively more difficult to recruit store clerks. The employees of the transport team are divided into two categories, either drivers. Either that's a porter. The driver is very simple, as long as you have a driver's license and no violation record, you can be competent, and the porter is even simpler, as long as you have a lot of strength, you can be competent.

As for the recruitment of store staff, the requirements are a little higher, which does not mean that the ability is high, but the appearance and quality of the employees are relatively high.

In the same way as other stores, all store employees must be women, and on top of that, the employees who apply for Roca supermarket clerks must also have the best appearance qualifications. No way, although the whole world is shouting that discrimination is prohibited, but sometimes the reality is so unfair, good-looking employees do have a lot of advantages over others at the beginning of their careers.

Although Lai Xiaohu's supermarket does not sell those jewelry, the vegetables we sell are also considered luxury goods in terms of price, so in order to improve the grade of the store, Lai Xiaohu must ask for the appearance of employees.

Of course, in addition to appearance, quality is also very important. Lai Xiaohu does not require employees to have a strong creative ability, but must have a modern advanced concept, especially in the sense of service, you let a person in his forties and a person in his twenties be a clerk, the gap between the service consciousness shown must be huge. And in addition to the youth will bring about a gap in consciousness, the experience of studying will also bring a difference in consciousness, people with higher education are relatively higher than people without higher education, of course, do not rule out very individual cases, on the whole this is indeed the case, otherwise there is no need for countries around the world to retain higher education, the worse the quality of learning, what to learn.

Female, beautiful, college degree or above, aged between 18 and 28 years old, this is the specific requirement put forward by Song Yaqiao, of course, for some people who need to master the store's finance, relatively speaking, a little more requirement is that they must be graduates of finance or accounting.

In order to recruit enough employees in a short period of time, Song Yaqiao not only went to the talent recruitment market to recruit and post recruitment profiles on the Internet, but also specially contacted several local universities in Shanghai to conduct several campus recruitments there. If you can recruit enough staff directly from the school, it is of course better than enough. Whether it is Lai Xiaohu or Song Yaqiao, in fact, the most favorite ones are those college students who are about to graduate or have just graduated, because they are more malleable.

Song Yaqiao's job fair in the school was relatively troublesome, but things on Lai Xiaohu's side were going quite smoothly by then.

From the three decoration companies he selected before, Lai Xiaohu talked with the managers of the other party respectively, and after considering the quotations of the three companies, Lai Xiaohu selected the company with the lowest quotation from the three companies to contract the decoration projects of the five stores.

After the renovation company started construction, Lai Xiaohu disappeared from the city for two days, of course, Lai Xiaohu did not have an accident. Instead, I went to the suburbs below Shanghai. If you want to open a new store in Shanghai, you can't open a few stores, the most important thing is actually the vegetable planting base, in order to be able to choose a place in Shanghai to build a vegetable planting base, Lai Xiaohu had to run all the suburbs in Shanghai.

To be honest, it is not difficult to choose a place in Shanghai as a vegetable planting base. Thanks to the very developed economy of Shanghai, even the remote suburbs are more cash than many cities in the mainland, although the area of Shanghai is very large, but for the development of the economy. The limited amount of land here is basically used for residential and industrial land, and as for agriculture, you will rarely find such a thing as agriculture in Shanghai. If you want to build a planting base, you have to go to the countryside, because only the countryside has enough farmland that has not been used by industry for Lai Xiaohu to use.

Lai Xiaohu went to all seven suburbs and one suburban county in Shanghai by car, and in the end, after running all these places. Lai Xiaohu chose a place, that is, the Song*Jiang* District under Hucheng. Lai Xiaohu chose this place mainly because he found a rare agricultural park under the Song*Jiang* district. Although this agricultural park must be far from the real rural areas in the mainland. However, in Shanghai, where the basic agricultural planting area is extinct, this is already a rare place. Of course, in addition to the fact that this is one of the few places where the agricultural style is still retained, it is also because of the convenient transportation, in order to develop this agricultural park, the city has specially built a road from the agricultural park to the city, and the convenient transportation can leave a lot of trouble for the future.

After deciding that you want to build a vegetable cultivation base here. Lai Xiaohu directly found the person in charge of this agricultural park, and the other party welcomed him very much after learning about Lai Xiaohu's intention.

It is difficult to develop agriculture in a big city, and it is even more difficult to develop agriculture in a city like Shanghai, even though this agricultural park has already been set up. But in fact, the development in recent years has not been very good, and the high production costs of Shanghai make the agricultural products here and the agricultural products of the inland provinces not competitive at all. So for those businessmen who want to invest in agriculture, it is better to come here than to go to the nearby inland provinces, where there is not only a large amount of fertile farmland, but more importantly, the production cost is so low that even adding a transport fleet is much better than developing here. And this agricultural park has been able to get to this point, in fact, it still relies more on the support from the government, and the real attraction here for businessmen is not very great, so it is natural to understand the other party's welcome to Lai Xiaohu.

It can be said that since the attitude was expressed, Lai Xiaohu has been surrounded by several people and kept instilling him with various preferential policies here, and finally under the kindness of the other party, Lai Xiaohu was taken to visit the entire agricultural park.

After visiting, Lai Xiaohu immediately decided to choose here, basically after turning around the suburbs of Shanghai, Lai Xiaohu can naturally see the benefits here. It is not easy to meet a place like Shanghai that the government has deliberately reserved for the development of agricultural parks, not to mention that not only is the policy very preferential, but the transportation is also very convenient, and after all the conditions meet Lai Xiaohu's requirements, there is no need to discourage the enthusiasm of the staff here.

In fact, the reason why Lai Xiaohu was able to endure the high cost of agriculture in Shanghai was also because he had the high profits of vegetables to support him, otherwise he would not dare to build a planting base here.

After reaching the intention of cooperation, Lai Xiaohu contracted 30 acres for the first time, and the contract period was ten years.

In this agricultural park, there are not a few people like Lai Xiaohu who want to build vegetable greenhouses, after all, it is inevitable to lose money to grow low-value-added rice and other crops in these places, so basically they come here to make vegetables and other high-value-added products. The construction of a large number of vegetable greenhouses has led to the formation of several construction teams in the vicinity that rely on agricultural parks for survival. The construction team that Lai Xiaohu found was one of them.

The price of the construction team is relatively high, but Lai Xiaohu will not break the rules here, since several construction teams monopolize the business of the agricultural park, there is no need to conflict with these people, after all, although their price is a little higher, but the professional ability is still very high, and the quality of the built greenhouse is relatively reliable.

The construction of vegetable greenhouses is relatively much faster, and the decoration of several stores in the city is only halfway through, the vegetable greenhouses have been built, and in order to prevent others from discovering their secrets, Lai Xiaohu also built a fence on the side to enclose his vegetable planting base, which is considered to form a private space.
