Chapter 48: Investigation of the construction of cold storage

Wang Defa decided to snatch the business of fruit cold storage with his uncle.

Now that the land is there, Wang Defa's woman took the lead, rented two pieces of land behind the town school at a particularly low contracting fee, and gave people a rent of 500 yuan a year, which can be converted into grain, and it is okay to give money, if the business is good, 500 yuan is simply a free gift for Wang Defa.

Now what worries him is how to repair this cold storage, the money is not much, but if this thing is not done, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the fruit of the apple tree comes down, this business will not be able to be done.

After thinking about it, Wang Defa was going to go to the county seat to see how the cold storage in the county was repaired, what the cost was, how it would be operated after it was repaired, and so on. Now just listening to Wang Youcai say this is not enough to give him a more accurate understanding. If you go to see it in person, you will feel even more spectrum.

Everything is going well at home now, Wang Defa picked a woman to be at home, packed up some steamed buns eaten on the road, found a pack of cigarettes bought from the provincial capital in his cabinet and put it in his pocket, and went to Shangxian with his bag.

He didn't know anyone who was in the cold storage business, and after arriving in the county, Wang Defa asked around who was doing the cold storage business. Fortunately, everything went relatively smoothly, and Wang Defa didn't toss too much, so he found a person who did the kind of large-scale cold storage business that Wang Youcai said.

After meeting, Wang Defa took out the cigarette in his pocket and lit it for the boss, and then explained his intention, after the boss simply communicated with Wang Defa, he felt that Wang Defa was not close to him, even if he taught experience, it would not affect his future business, and he took Wang Defa to his cold storage while smoking.

From the outside, the ground of the cold storage in the fruit cellar seems to be no different from other ground. Cold storage is built underground, and the only way to judge which is crop land and which is cold storage with your eyes is to look at the high exhaust outlets. The tall exhaust vents resemble two giant chimneys, towering at the other end of the cold storage entrance.

The boss snuffed out the cigarette butts in his hand before entering the cold storage, and motioned to Wang Defa to pinch out his own and throw it away.

"The air in the cold storage must not be polluted at all, it must be completely natural air, and if the cigarette butts go in, the fruit inside will soon be unpreservable. Remember, sometimes you can't get in too much, and when there are too many people, the CO2 content in the library increases, and the fruit is not easy to store. The boss opened the door again and again, and said to Wang Defa.

"Listen to what you say, this thing is quite high-tech, you see I'm going to make it at home, can I do it?" Wang Defa asked suspiciously.

"Yes, what's not to do, pay attention to what you should pay attention to, as I just said, just pay attention, it's not difficult. But you have to remember that it is not difficult to cold stock fruits, but how to turn the saved fruits into money. "This boss, Wang Defa is right, what do you have to say, Wang Defa thinks that if he is to repair the cold storage next to this boss's house, it is estimated that the boss will not say anything to him.

After entering the warehouse, there was obviously a cold air, and the boss turned on the light, and the deep cold storage was unobstructed. It is about five meters wide and nearly twenty meters long. There is a pedestrian alleyway in the middle, and apples are neatly stacked on both sides, which is very fresh.

"Is this fruit from last year?" Wang De asked.

"It's definitely not this year, this year's apples are still on the tree, when do you say it?" The boss felt that Wang Defa had asked a nonsense question, and he wanted to laugh but replied without a smile.

"Yes, yes, look at my brain, I haven't turned a corner." Wang Defa hurriedly changed his words.

Wang Defa asked this for no reason, the apples stored in it look brightly colored, if you don't look at the apples that have wilted, everyone will think that this is the apple that has just been picked from the tree.

Walking forward and watching, Wang Defa listened to the boss explain to him. The boss walked to a bag of open apples, took one, wiped it on his sleeve, gave it to Wang Defa, and said, "Come, brother, try one and see how it tastes." ”

"Okay, I'll try it." Wang Defa was flattered, picked up the apple and nibbled on it seriously. The apples are really crisp, there is still a lot of water, and the key is that they are very sweet, and there is no wilting taste at all.

"It's delicious, it's tender."

"Yes, so, you say, the new apples haven't come down yet, and the old apples taste similar to the new apples, so if you pull them to the market to buy, can the price be high? Scarcity is expensive, this business, since you came to inspect it today, I will tell you the truth, you can really do it. The boss said.

Seeing is believing, hearing is false. Let's take a trip in person to see, Wang Defa really admires his uncle Wang Youcai from the bottom of his heart.

"Where did you get all these refrigerated apples?" Wang De asked.

"When the apples are ripe, they drive a tricycle to collect them in the whole county or in other counties, and the price is a little higher. Don't look at the apple planting in our county now, there are not many apples in our county, I found a problem from last year to this year, apples in other counties are not as delicious as ours. I asked people who knew how to do it, and they said that the geographical location of our county is the best place in the world to grow apples. In the future, everyone will definitely plant this kind of economic fruit tree, and by that time, there will be no fruit to harvest. ”

"Let's go, go out and talk, don't stay in it for too long, it's a little cold and a little infiltrating." The boss said that he would let him go out, and Wang Defa followed behind, but in fact, the boss was worried that it would be bad for the fruit if he had been in it for a long time.

When going out, the boss hung in the cold storage of the hygrometer, the temperature of the thermometer recorded in the small book he was holding, Wang Defa was very careful, it was to study and investigate, it had to be effective, he estimated that the boss's small book must have remembered the regular air temperature and humidity data of the cold storage. If he had to go back, he would have to do the same.

After coming out of the library, Meng's body was much warmer. The boss's cold storage is on the side of the road, and near the entrance of the cold storage is his fruit purchase and sales store, which reads "Facai Fruit Purchase and Sales Center".

After entering the house, Wang Defa chatted with the boss about some specific things. What he is most concerned about is whether it is difficult to repair this cold storage fruit cellar. This boss is also a real person, and the more he chats with Wang Defa, the more speculative he becomes. Wang Defa took out the box of cigarettes in his pocket and put it on the table, and the two of them chatted while smoking.

"Brother Wang, to be honest, it is not difficult to repair this cold storage, dig the ground to a specified depth, this depth must be dug up enough size, the rest is simple, you just saw it, the same as the hoop, hoop it up with red bricks, and finally cap it, just leave two exhaust outlets at the other end of the cold storage, that is, you need some bricks, as long as you can hoop the hoop, you will repair this."

"What are the requirements for this size?"

"There's no requirement, you just need to dig up the size of the place you've prepared."

"Is there a drawing or something, if there is, you look for it for my brother, and I will go back to repair it according to your cold storage."

"Yes, what I talked to you about today is more speculative, I'll give it to you, you can reduce and enlarge according to your actual size."

"Brother, God really helps me today, you see I don't know anyone in the county, I met you as soon as I came, you can be regarded as my nobleman." Thank you so much. ”

"You're welcome, it's all friends."

"Why are you selling these apples now? I'll buy some and give it back to the three dolls. Wang Defa asked a lot of advice in front of this boss, and the best thank you is to use practical actions to let the boss make some money and buy some apples, which can not only satisfy the mouths of the dolls, but also have the effect of thanking the boss, killing two birds with one stone.

The boss happily agreed.

With the drawings and the apples he bought, Wang Defa took advantage of the fact that it was dark and walked back in the car.

This investigation, Wang Defa has a more spectrum in his heart. This cold storage is for business, there is nothing difficult about cold storage, and there are more ways to do business. Now the only question is who to find to fix it, the drawings are there, and no one can't do it.

After returning home, Wang Defa took out the apples for everyone to eat, and the woman complained that Wang Defa spent money indiscriminately as soon as he went to the county, Wang Defa said with a hippie smile: "This is not spending money indiscriminately, in the future, you will have no problem eating apples whenever you want to eat them all year round." ”

"How did you go to the county to investigate?"

"It's okay, I've basically mastered the door, but now the question is, who will I find to fix it."

"If you don't have money, you can find someone to pay on credit, and after repairing, when you make money, give more to others, it depends on whether your mouth is strong or not, and whether you can move others." The woman said.

"I've also considered your method, but the question is who to look for?"

"You go to Captain Chen and ask him to talk to his nephew Fang Zhancai, see if the captain can give you another face, and let Fang Zhancai take his masters to repair it for you first. Even if the price of the credit is higher than the cash settlement, that will work. The woman said.

"Oh, don't tell me, sometimes you have a better brain than me. Anyway, I don't know who to look for, so I might as well go to the captain's house to try my luck and ask what the situation is. ”

"You said you were tossing around all day, what did I follow." The woman saw that Wang Defa felt that her idea was not bad, so she said modestly.

"You watch the babies, Jackie Chan and I cook in the kitchen."

"Okay, you go, I'll eat less, make less, I ate a little too many apples today."

Wang Defa thought about it again and again, and felt that what the woman said was still reasonable, and it was a good choice to rely on this old face to ask the captain if he could help with this.

The next day, Wang Defa went to Captain Chen's house, and after telling the captain the whole thing, Wang Defa finally analyzed to the captain why he chose to do this, and why he chose Fang Zhancai to do this work for him.

"Team Chen, this matter I have been to the county has been inspected, cold storage, is indeed a new thing, but also definitely an opportunity to make money, I am now mainly just repairing the house, there is really no money at hand, but the brick money needed to repair the cold storage, I have been ready, you think, if Zhan Cai can help me build this cold storage in the form of credit, it is equivalent to investment, how much I earn in the future, have his share, until the labor costs are paid off to him, if he still wants to continue to invest, then follow along, This cold storage is me and his. This solves my current problem, and both of us have to earn. ”

It was these words that moved the captain's heart.

"Okay, then you will leave this matter to me, looking at the situation for a few years, the county may develop apple planting as a pillar industry, don't say it, this time your sense of smell in business is still very sensitive."

"Team Chen, then thank you for this matter in advance, you can tell Zhan Caixian's nephew as soon as possible."

"Okay, don't worry. I think it's okay. ”

Wang Defa basically concluded from the captain's tone that there was nothing wrong with this matter, as long as he spoke, how could Fang Zhancai dare not listen to his uncle. But there is a saying, Wang Defa fooled the captain, and it is true to build a cold storage on credit, but let Fang Zhancai share it in the future, which is just the pie he painted. Wang Defa didn't want to find the business opportunities he had worked so hard to find, so he let Fang Zhancai sit back and enjoy the success. But if you don't say that, if it's not attractive, the captain and Fang Zhancai won't agree to help.

Fang Zhancai, under his uncle's bitter heart, finally agreed to this matter. Digging a cellar to build a cold storage, from the perspective of Fang Zhancai's construction, is indeed not difficult, and it does not take a lot of time. Since it is not a ready-to-end job, Fang Zhancai insisted that it must be a cost of 10,000 yuan, excluding the cost of materials.

Wang Defa agreed, anyway, it's not a cash settlement, if you make a lot of money in the future, 10,000 is nothing, and now the focus is to build a cold storage before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After reaching an agreement, Fang Zhancai brought a few of his masters to the cold storage. Fang Zhancai's focus is still on the one that built the house, and Wang Defa is basically staring at the cold storage.

The progress of the project is indeed faster than the speed of Wang Defa's family repairing the house, and it took less than four or five days for Wang Defa to dig a hole more than one person deep on the two pieces of land contracted by Wang Defa.

The depth and width of Wang Defa were all carried out according to the drawings brought back from the county, no problem. The next is the most difficult hoop brick, to hoop the entire cold storage pit with bricks, so that it looks neat and the refrigeration effect is good. It's okay to say on both sides of the tunnel, but it's not easy to get the top.

Wang Defa found Fang Zhancai and asked him to send the best bricklayer master, this can't be sloppy, don't use it for a few years, it will be troublesome if it collapses.

Fang Zhancai also knew that this arched top was not a joke, so he personally took his masters and worked overtime for four days to seal the roofs of the two cold storages.

On the day the cold storage was built, the captain, Fang Zhancai, and the second child, as well as some relatives and friends of Wang Defa came to post a festive couplet on the cold storage and celebrated it.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Wang Defa chatted with everyone about how to operate the cold storage in the future. He didn't tell everyone everything he knew like the cold storage boss in the county. Planting apple trees and doing apple business, he did not discuss the future trend with everyone.

After the cold storage was built, Wang Defa began to have his own work to do every day, going to the warehouse almost once a day, learning to investigate, recording the temperature and humidity of the warehouse every day, and occasionally going to the county to exchange methods and experience with the boss.

At the same time, Wang Defa also did something that satisfied him, and persuaded the woman to plant all the land in the family with apple trees in the coming year. When most people were still waiting, Wang Defa followed his uncle and was already one step ahead.
