Chapter 171: A Way Out

Geographically, Xing'an is subordinate to Inner Mongolia and borders the northern border. The Great Khing'an Mountains in the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion are rich in products and wild berry resources, and the only thing that is fatal is that this place can only be transported by road, not by train.

The nearest station is 80 kilometers away at Dayangshu Station, which belongs to Northern Xinjiang. When engaged in production and manufacturing, the first consideration is the cost issue. It is said that a few years ago, several Korean businessmen came to Hung Yen to inspect it, and at that time, they saw wild fruits all over the mountains and fields, and their eyes were straight, and as long as these things were shipped out, they were bundles of dollars. As a result, when I went back to calculate the cost, the transportation cost was too high, and I took the road transportation to the outside, and there was no cost advantage at all.

Liu Shi talked eloquently, he worked as a technician in the beverage factory, and he also ran around the country, went to well-known enterprises to study and inspect, and his knowledge was already extraordinary in this year. According to Liu Shi's statement, Yu Shan pondered it and denied the original path of completely taking road transportation. Nothing else, too expensive.

And these berries are not shelf-stable, and the best way to get them out is to rough them in front of them and make them into juice concentrates from blueberries and the like. Then take the transportation mode of road and railway, transport to Qibei, carry out the second step of deep processing, make all kinds of fruit juice drinks, and sell them all over the country.

Yu Shan calculated that his beverage factory would not be able to open in a short period of time. Even if everything goes well, even if everything goes well, even if the procedures are negotiated and the factory is built, it would be good if Yushan's beverage factory could be put into production as soon as June next year.

In June, most of the wild fruits have just bloomed, and some have not set fruits.

Saying this is not enjoyable, Liu Shi looked at Yu Shan's three people dressed extraordinarily, and the Mitsubishi Jeep parked at the door also fully explained the financial resources of the servants, so he got up enthusiastically and beckoned Yu Shan and the others to go on a trip.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, Liu Shi introduced as he walked, saying that there was no road at all before, and the dirt road under his feet was still crushed by lumberjacks with tractors that hauled logs. When you go into the mountains, you can see some wild fruits from time to time, and Yu Shan also found lion's mane mushrooms on the trees.

Looking at the wild fungus and mushrooms, Zhang Mingsheng thought: "When I was studying in Australia, wild mushrooms in the supermarket were more expensive than steaks. Mr. Yu, why don't we open another mountain goods processing plant? ”

didn't need Yu Shan to answer, Liu Shi, who led the way in front, said with a smile: "Don't look at the wild fruit, no one wants it, but this mountain goods have already been booked." "Whether it's fungus or all kinds of mushrooms, it's very easy to handle, and when it's dried, it doesn't take much weight except for water. Local souvenir companies in Hung Yen and dealers from all over the country go into the mountains to collect mountain goods at this time of year.

There is a way to be scarce and expensive, this year does not pay attention to what wild, breeding, local residents are going up the mountain to pick mountain goods, there is no cost, the right is a business without capital, is at this time the price of wild fungus, mushrooms is even lower than the farmed.

Yu Shan knows that in the 21st century, people of insight have seen business opportunities, paid more attention to environmental protection and brand awareness, and relied on the continuous Xing'an Mountains to create a big situation. At that time, first-class mountain goods were directly exported to earn foreign exchange, and most of the so-called first-class products sold in China were actually farmed.

This is a good way to make money, but the purpose of Yu Shan's investment is not to make money in itself. If he wants to make money, he might as well continue to devote himself to the international financial market, and it is easy to earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year casually without affecting the general trend.

After walking for a while, several people were tired, so they stopped to rest. Overlooking down, the mountains are full of red and yellow spots, which is extremely pleasing to the eye. Yu Shan crossed his waist and soothed his sore legs, when he heard a whistle and a steam train came out of the forest at the foot of the mountain.

Yu Shan asked in surprise: "There is still a railway in this place?" ”

Liu Shi said: "The narrow-gauge railways are all from forest farms. However, in recent years, the mountains have been closed for afforestation, and I have not seen a single train for ten days and half a month. ”

Regardless of whether it is narrow gauge or not, the cost of transportation can be reduced by rail. Yu Shan asked excitedly: "Then where does this railway lead?" ”

"All the way to the Red Banquet...... Mr. Yu, do you want to build this railway? ”

Yu Shan nodded: "There is this idea." Why, someone has thought this before? ”

Liu Shi laughed twice and said: "At the beginning, those Koreans also thought about it and talked to the forest farm, but it didn't work out. ”

In the early 90s, there was no wave of layoffs in the entire northeast, and all state-owned units were still arrogant, regardless of whether they were foreign businessmen or not, and if they said they wouldn't give you face, they wouldn't give you face. However, at this time, this is all closed to the mountains and forests, and the forest farm can start work for three months a year, and the leaders up and down also realize that it is not a way to go on like this, and it is much more difficult to talk about it at this time than at the beginning.

Yu Shan pondered for a while, and almost had a score in his heart. After resting for a while, Yu Shan suddenly said: "Brother Liu, I see that you have a deep understanding of this mountain, are you interested in coming to work in my company?" ”

Zhang Mingsheng observed his words and looked at the kung fu perfectly, and said in a timely manner: "Brother Liu, this is the general manager of our dimethoate group, and our group plans to build a natural juice beverage factory in northern Xinjiang. ”

Liu Shi was a little surprised and said, "Why is the beverage factory built in northern Xinjiang?" Wouldn't it be better to put it in Hung Yen? ”

It is closer to the origin of raw materials and can be processed locally, saving a lot of costs. But this is not what Yu Shan wants, so he thought about it and said, "Brother Liu, you only consider the transportation cost, did you consider the labor cost?" ”

Hung Yen is in the north of Qi Province, seven months a year is winter, the end of September begins to snow, the main local economy is the forestry industry, agricultural products rely on foreign transportation. Not to mention anything else, in the middle of summer, the cheapest eggplant in Qibei can buy a sack for one dollar, but Xing'an can still sell it for eight cents a catty, and the cost of living is extremely high.

The more you spend, the more you earn. Let's just say that lumberjacks can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month. What's worse is that Hung Yen has a small population and does not have so many surplus laborers.

If you invest in building a factory here, it is indeed saving transportation costs, but labor costs are much more expensive.

After listening to Yu Shan's words, Liu Shi thought about it, sighed, and didn't say anything more. Yu Shan could see that Liu Shi, who was in his first year, still wanted to do something for his hometown.

So he invited again, saying: "Our initial plan is to invest in the construction of a factory in Qibei and build a primary processing center in Xing'an. Brother Liu, if you are interested, I hope you can take charge of this roughing center. ”

With Yu Shan's senses, Liu Shi is still young and immature now, and it is a world of difference from Liu Shi who called for wind and rain later. After seventeen years of experience and insight, Liu Shi in front of him is a fledgling young man. Yu Shan changed his mind, it was impossible for him to push such Liu Shi to the position of general manager, that would be irresponsible to the company, and I am afraid that few heads of various departments could convince Liu Shi.

"Me?" Liu Shi was surprised, and then became excited: "Can I do it?" ”

"You have to have faith in yourself, and you have to have faith in my vision." Yu Shan looked at the sky: "I'm hungry too, let's talk while going down the mountain." ”

On the way down the mountain, Liu Shi's attitude towards Yu Shan became more and more courteous, and he said a lot of constructive suggestions. According to Liu Shi's meaning, rough processing is not much to do, rather than re-selecting the site for construction, it is better to acquire the Xing'an Beverage Factory. Since the beverage plant will be operational as soon as June next year, it is better to plan ahead and store wild juice in advance.

With the acquisition of a beverage factory, it is possible to expand the cold storage on the factory premises. It's the end of September, and if done right, we can buy and store some wild juice this year. Yu Shan felt that what Liu Shi said made sense, and when he went down the mountain, everyone found a restaurant in the town to eat.

Liu Shi gave a detailed account of the situation of the beverage factory, which has a total of 58 workers, and has not only failed to make a surplus, but owes more than 700,000 yuan to the bank, and has not been able to pay wages or have money to produce, and has properly become a burden on the government. There are two opinions above, one is to contract to individuals, and the other is to simply package and sell.

After lunch, Yu Shan felt that time was pressing, so he simply asked Zhang Mingsheng to follow Liu Shi to the beverage factory to talk. Two people go fast and come back faster. Zhang Mingsheng's face was nothing, and Liu Shi's face was full of anger.

Yu Shan glanced at it and could probably guess the approximate result. The state-owned factories that have closed down in recent years are partly because of the economic transformation that has left them at a loss, and the other part is a proper man-made disaster.

The head of the factory takes the factory as his home, and the money he earns is turned into his pocket, and the things are not sold, but the result is not only not profitable, but also a lot of losses throughout the year. Seeing that the factory could not be operated, these people had other ideas. They know very well whether they are making money or not, so they want to get the first month near the water and contract the factory. Of course, these people also have concerns about finding out that they are making false accounts after bankruptcy and liquidation.

Yu Shan didn't know how Liu Shi stood out from a pile of moths a few months later and contracted the beverage factory, but he felt that since Liu Shi was able to contract it in the end, it meant that things had taken a turn for the better. Taking a step back, Yu Shan waved the banknote, as long as he found the local investment bureau, he would be treated as a guest. Maybe it's cheaper to build a new one than to buy an existing beverage factory.

He didn't take this matter to heart, what really made him care about it was the small railway. The focus of the narrow-gauge railway is Hongyan, and Hongyan is already within the scope of Qibei, and the follow-up wagon problem can be discussed with the Qibei Municipal Government. During this trip to Xing'an, Yu Shan gradually had a general idea of the company's main business. Transportation and production are not a problem, and the juice formula does not need to be researched by itself, and it is directly run to buy mature formulas for one or five years. Then there is only one question left, where is the way out of the product? (To be continued.) )
