Chapter 209: An Unexpected Visitor
Yunlai Village Strawberry Company.
Since the strawberry and tomato harvest season, Zhuo Lin's phone has not been interrupted.
Before the Canton Fair, strawberry jam was constantly being produced and packaged from the candy factory, ready to go. But after eating such a big bite of dividends, the candy factory, which has renewed its blood, never mentions the restructuring and merger again.
They don't mention it, and the company can't force them to restructure.
However, thanks to the joint cultivation of various villages in the city, the production of strawberries and tomatoes has increased dramatically this year. However, the capacity of the confectionery factory has not kept up.
The candy factory has two old production lines, which are not yet standardized jam production lines, and the continuous rotation of ketchup and strawberry jam in the past year has been insufficient. Zhuo Lin once proposed to let them buy a few new production lines, and second-hand goods from abroad are also fine. He even determined the price and model, but Secretary Zhao refused on the grounds that he had no money.
Zhuo Lin also advised them to take out loans from banks. Secretary Zhao shook his head again and again: "Manager Zhuo." Our factory is so big, and then enter two production lines, where do you say to put it? Then you have to expand the plant. But to expand the factory, it still costs money. You're right? β
Zhuo Lin calculated the accounts for them. Two sets of old equipment are about 400,000 yuan. The plant was expanded by 200,000 for a total of 600,000. According to their current income, they can borrow money from the bank and pay it off in about ten years.
Secretary Zhao said: "You made money selling strawberry jam last year. But this year's ketchup hasn't sold a single bottle yet. Foreigners don't know if they like it or not. In case they don't want your goodsβ"
Zhuo Lin stopped talking nonsense and smiled: "You are reasonable." Safety first. β
Secretary Zhao nodded: "Not really." Safety first. β
In order to keep up with the production capacity, Zhuo Lin turned to other processing factories that can make jam.
Fortunately, although there are not many candy factories in Fujian, they are willing to take their jobs. Finally barely caught up with the supply.
He held back the anger in his heart and reported the situation of the candy factory to Ling Mei.
Ling Mei said: "I originally wanted to help the poor, but I didn't expect people to look down on us." β
Zhuo Lin disdainful: "This is riding a donkey to find a horse." How can there be such a good thing in the world? β
Ling Mei knocked on the table: "Those two production lines, you should buy them back." Since the candy factory is unreliable, we have to build our own factory. β
Zhuo Lin frowned and said: "It is indeed the safest to build a factory by yourself." But the site, the building, the staffβ"
Ling Mei smiled slightly: "Let the wind go, we are looking for a suitable place." β
Zhuo Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled at Ling Mei: "If we want to build a factory, the money in our company's account is not enough." I'll look for a bank loan. β
"Good. By the way, you ask. If there is a second-hand production line, even if it is too bad to use, it doesn't matter. If it's scrap iron, I'll do it too. β
Zhuo Lin was curious: "What's the use?" β
Ling Mei smiled slightly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." "Taking advantage of the fact that there is no computer chip to control the production line, collect some scrap iron and let the space be more tinkering, there will not be many opportunities like this in the future.
Zhuo Lin once heard someone in the company mention that Ling Mei had purchased the abandoned equipment of the cloud clothing factory. I think she has her usefulness.
So he nodded and said, "There are indeed two production lines that have broken the main engine." I asked what the price was, and if I could take it as scrap iron, I would bring it back in pieces. β
"Okay."
Soon, the news that the strawberry company in Yunlai Village was going to build its own comprehensive food processing factory spread throughout the city. Zhuo Lin looked for a suitable venue everywhere. Especially those small factories that closed down, almost all of them let Zhuo Lin visit them all.
Secretary Zhao of the Jade Rabbit Candy Factory who got the news couldn't sit still.
At this time, Director Yuan had retired, and the new director had not yet been appointed, so Director Yuan had to hold on temporarily. Secretary Zhao is now the real leader of the factory.
"Impossible." Secretary Zhao was smoking a cigarette and was a little drumming in his heart. "How much does it cost to build a factory? Where can they get it? β
"The market in Yunlai Village is so good, it's not difficult to borrow money. I heard that Zhuo Lin has applied for a commercial loan in the bank. It is estimated that I can borrow seven or eight hundred thousand this time. β
The old factory director didn't notice that Secretary Zhao's cigarette was smoking, and handed him the ashtray with a smile: "What's the matter?" β
Secretary Zhao twisted the cigarette butt and asked, "Food processing factory." What else can you do besides making jam? β
"That's a lot." Director Yuan listened to a lot of gossip. "Dried fruits, canned fruits, jelly, snacks, anyway, they have money and ability, and they are not afraid to toss and toss."
Secretary Zhao's face was very ugly.
If this factory is really built, won't their candy factory be back to its original shape?
"It's too much." Secretary Zhao was angry, "Isn't this deliberately forcing us to death?" β
The old factory director smiled: "Don't be angry. Isn't that a matter of course? Our small factory can't keep up with the pace of others. You see, it's too late to make some jam, and Mr. Zhuo has to find help from other factories. β
"Isn't that worried that they will take too big a step and pull the eggs!" Secretary Zhao was annoyed, "What if you make so much ketchup, what if you can't sell it?" What if we really merged, and we went out of business before we made any money? β
The old factory director nodded: "You think about it." But now, you don't have to think about it. β
Secretary Zhao glared at him: "Then how can it be done." Even if they want to open a new factory, they can't ignore our old factory. β
The old factory director dragged out his voice and said, "It's too late-"
Secretary Zhao Huo's got up: "I'll look for them!" β
The old factory director hurriedly pulled him: "Don't worry. You, the front shelf is too full, and now you have to think of a roundabout way to take it back. β
Secretary Zhao looked at him: "What do you do?" Say it! β
The old factory director smiled: "I really heard something." β
A few days later, a group of peculiar guests walked on the wildflower-filled path of Yunlai Village.
The villagers who were busy working in the fields were not idle, looking forward to this year's harvest for a while, and discussing the marriage of Ling Hai and Zichun with great interest. This pair of little lovers has just two words: a good match.
Aunt Liu hugged the ground for a long time, supported her waist and got up to move her body, and suddenly her eyes were about to crack, and her face was strange and shocked: "Foreigner, foreigner-"
A foreigner came to Yunlai Village.
Simon walked on the mountain trail with vigour, followed by an assistant and translator, Mayor Kang, and several cadre-looking people.
"It's so beautiful here." Simon couldn't stop praising it. "No wonder you can grow the best Zhangji strawberries in all of Asia-"
"Mr. Simon doesn't know yet, does he? This year, our village has developed a new strawberry 'Hongyan'. Mayor Kang smiled, "It is bred with two varieties, Zhang Ji and Spice Fragrance. The taste is better than that of Zhangji. β
Simon was a little skeptical: could there be a better strawberry than Xianyun Zhangji?!
He saw a large row of glass sheds from a distance, was stunned, and asked, "Is that a warm shed?" β
"Yes. Fruit greenhouses in Xianyun Village. "Secretary Kang is proud," is the most advanced greenhouse controlled by computer. β
Simon blurted out, "Computer controlled?!" β
Computer-controlled greenhouses are a rarity in the United States, but has this remote village in China been realized?!
