Chapter 220, Urgent Task - Selling Tea

"Actually, I like the snow and ice, but we only have one or two snows a year. Yang Mingdong said, "Besides, the money to build the furniture factory has been misappropriated, and it cannot be built for the time being." ”

"Who said that!" Li Yuanshan said, "What is the last madness? In order to get the money as soon as possible, you will not hesitate to sell at a cheap price! The money you used to build the factory will come back in less than two months." ”

"Such a cow?" Yang Mingdong said regretfully, "In this case, I should go even more! Think about it, this kind of opportunity, I am afraid that I can only meet this once in a lifetime!"

Although Yang Mingdong was excited, there was still a task waiting for him, and he couldn't make the trip.

After the delegation arrived, there was an embassy staff there, and after some understanding, everyone began to boil with enthusiasm: according to the introduction of the staff, there is a great shortage of food and light industrial products here, and these have been developed in China. And if there are some here, you can make one or two times or even more than ten times the profit when you get it back!

However, after contact, they were dumbfounded, people don't want yuan, but pounds sterling, marks, preferably dollars. But foreign exchange is also scarce in China, they are all private enterprises, even if there are companies involved in import and export, there is basically no foreign exchange in hand.

But this is difficult for the nimble Chinese, since you have what I need, I can also take out what you need, and if you can't trade with money, then barter.

After the news was sent back to China, the companies were busy, procuring supplies, loading trucks and ships. Trains are fast, but they have their own advantages over ocean-going ships because they are too small to carry cargo.

The goods arrived, the first transaction was successfully completed, and both parties to the transaction were smiling.

In just one month, the money for the construction of the furniture factory came back, and the deal over there expanded.

"Good job!" Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "No wonder those fallen masters have made a fortune! ”

The new year started well and everyone was happy. But on this day came a worried man.

"Ahh Li Yuanshan said with a smile. Although being a small group leader is someone else's subordinate, Li Yuanshan does not have the consciousness of his subordinates. And as a small town mayor who often faces farmers, he has no official authority.

"There's nothing to be happy about, the demolition of towns and towns is going on, and we're not the only ones here. Mayor Gao said sadly, "But this year's tea sales have become a big problem!"

"Isn't tea purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative?" asked Li Yuanshan.

Mayor Gao looked at Li Yuanshan and said, "Why don't you care about the affairs of the town at all? The supply and marketing cooperatives have been restructured! In the future, the supply and marketing cooperatives will no longer accept tea." ”

"Don't accept tea anymore?" Li Yuanshan was surprised. The restructuring of the supply and marketing cooperatives was expected by him, but he did not expect such sequelae.

"Yes!" Mayor Gao said worriedly, "So this year's tea is a problem." Think about it, 20,000 acres of tea, what a loss!"

"But what else can I do?" Li Yuanshan asked with a sigh.

Mayor Gao said: "I thought, aren't you setting up a factory in Shenzhen, let's see if we can contact the tea merchant to buy it, or we will send it over." ”

"To tell you the truth, this tea is very large! 20,000 mu, even if you pick a little less, only ten catties of tea per acre, that is 200 tons!" Li Yuanshan said, "Although the tea in our town is famous in the city, there is no tea outside, and it is very troublesome to find a market!"

"We don't know anything out there, so we're going to have to come to you. Mayor Gao said, "There are 20,000 acres of tea plantations in the town, and the quality of the tea is very good, and it is also famous in the city, I originally wanted to rely on it to make a brand." Now the market has become a big problem, if there is no market, these tea plantations that have been planted for more than ten years and have entered the harvest period will be destroyed. ”

Li Yuanshan nodded in agreement, if the tea garden can't generate income, it will naturally ruin the farming, even if you plant grain, you can harvest it in a year.

"In that case, I'll call and ask first. Li Yuanshan said, "We have no intersection with the tea merchants, so we can only say that we will do our best." ”

"Hey!"

"Hey, Brother Yuanshan, I'm Mingyi. ”

"Mingyi. Now we have a task to find a market for the tea in the town. Li Yuanshan said.

"Isn't tea collected by the supply and marketing cooperative?" Yang Mingyi said, "Is it because the price is low?"

"What is the low price, the supply and marketing cooperatives are now restructured and do not accept tea. Li Yuanshan said, "Mayor Gao is so anxious that he will be on fire, and if there are 20,000 acres of tea, only ten catties per mu are two hundred tons, what a loss! ”

"Good. It is said that the tea in our town is very good, and the most expensive tea sold here is similar to ours. Yang Mingyi said, "Wait for me to contact them to try, it's a big deal, the price is low, and we will deliver it." If it doesn't anger me, I'll make my own brand and sell it myself. ”

"It's a good idea to make a brand!" Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "but I have to deal with this year." ”

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuanshan said to Mayor Gao: "We can't just wait. The town generally roasts its own tea, and the quality is uneven, so the town has to come forward and let people with good craftsmanship fry it. Even if there are not enough people with good craftsmanship, then they should be used as a guide, so that the quality of tea will be better. After coping with this paragraph, set up a tea processing factory, buy a machine to fry, and the quality is stable. At that time, it can be divided into handmade tea and machine-fried tea, divided into pre-Ming tea, spring tea, and summer tea according to the season, and can be divided into Longjing tea and ancient tree tea according to tea tree varieties. The variety is abundant. ”

Mayor Gao said: "Let's not talk about the tea processing factory, you said that the town should come forward to organize roasted tea, but the problem is whether it can be sold now." If you can't sell it later, then you can't be blamed to death?"

"In this case, if we can't sell it, our village will pay to open a few shops in the big city and collect tea from the town to sell. At most, three or four hundred thousand catties of tea, one person can buy half a catty, and seven or eight hundred thousand people can buy it all. ”

"But you still have to do one thing, pay attention to the news of the agricultural exhibition, the tea exhibition and the like, and you have to bring tea to participate if you have the opportunity. Li Yuanshan made a request.

"Yes. Originally, I had this idea too. Mayor Gao nodded and said.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the tea production was low, and there were many people in the town who were skilled in roasting tea, and they could barely support it, but then the tea production increased, and it couldn't just be fried by this person. Li Yuanshan, as a person admired by the old roasted tea masters in the neighborhood, and he was young, and he was also responsible for guiding the two villages next to each other.

On the road between the two villages, the road surface was leveled first, and then two rows of stoves were built along the road, and the fire was burned, and the tea was roasted, and Li Yuanshan inspected and guided back and forth in the middle.

Li Yuanshan inspected back and forth, these people, including those who burned the fire, have been roasting tea for many years and have certain experience, after all, the techniques and steps of roasting tea are the same, but the heat is poorly mastered. However, it is precisely this difference in heat that makes the difference in tea made. Li Yuanshan's role is to help them control time.

Two days later, Yang Mingyi called and told Li Yuanshan that he had contacted a boss and would come over in the next few days.

"The boss came over in person?" asked Li Yuanshan in surprise.

"yes. Yang Mingyi said with a smile, "Boss Cao is in the export business, and tea is one of them." There are 20,000 acres of tea plantations in our town, which is a big business, and it is naturally worth his personal effort. In addition, I asked Lao Song, we can also get some to go to Lao Maozi. But even if it's high-end, they can't afford to drink it, so they can get some low-grade summer tea. ”

"Don't say anything you can't afford to drink, there are a lot of rich people over there. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "And it's plain, it's not distressing to spend it, we can do some high-end past water together." ”

Song Jin accompanied Boss Cao to the city, and invited him to visit the pharmaceutical factory by the way.

"Your village is amazing!" Cao Wei admired, "not only did you open such a big furniture factory over there, but there was also such a big pharmaceutical factory here." ”

"It's all done step by step. Song Jin smiled, "I believe that Boss Cao will be able to do it so much soon." ”

"Then I'll borrow your good words. Cao Wei said with a smile. Of course, he is not satisfied with running a small company all the time, and has been trying to expand the scale of trade. The first two years were not in good shape, and he could only keep it after exhausting all means. Now that the opportunity has come, he naturally wants to seize it. 20,000 acres of tea plantations, if it is completed, the profit of this single order will be able to catch up with the operating income of last year.

Taking a car from the city, as soon as he arrived at the high truck, Cao Wei threw himself through the glass window and watched the stone road disappear all the way to the foot of the mountain, and there was a tall stone mountain on it, and turned his head and asked, "Are we going up the mountain?"

"Yes. Song Jin replied, "Go up and pass halfway up the mountain." ”

When he came to the Eighth Ring Road, Cao Wei happened to sit on the left, and when he looked down, he felt that he was bottomless!

"This road is too dangerous!" Cao Wei finally calmed down and sighed.

"Actually, it's not dangerous. Song Jin smiled, "After this road was repaired, there has never been an accident." ”

After passing through the Eighth Ring Road to the first village, Song Jin introduced: "This place used to belong to another township, and now it has been merged with our township to form a town. Once here, it's our town. ”

"Our town has a good environment and climate that is suitable for the growth of tea trees, and there are local tea trees themselves. Now there are more than 100 lessons of old tea trees, the oldest one is ten meters high, eleven years ago the provincial experts came to inspect, said that it should be a thousand years old. The tea trees planted later were Longjing tea, and the first batch was in our village, when it was still the Beiyang period. In the seventies, a large area was planted, reaching 20,000 acres, and now it has entered a bumper production period. ”

Cao Wei looked at a tea garden flashing on the steep slope terraces on the side of the road from time to time, and said: "Your side is a mountainous area, and tea can be planted on such a steep slope. ”

"It's good to look at now. Song Jin smiled, "Look at those pieces of flat land, most of the flat land used to have a lot of stones in it. Look at the ridges, the stones that built the ridges were cut out of the ground when the three reforms were made. There are also terraces on the slopes, most of which were dug out at that time. ”

"It's not easy! It's not easy!" Cao Wei sighed.
