After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 312 Risk

Qinghe Fresh Food Drying Factory covers an area of ​​1.8 acres and is equipped with production workshops, warehouses, offices, and canteens.

Shen Qiuqiu is appointed as the factory director, and the deputy factory director is temporarily vacant;

Positions such as assistant factory director, workshop leader, and finance have professional abilities and academic requirements;

Shen Qiuqiu posted recruitment information on Maitian Video and the Tianshui TV official account like last time, and then conducted a video interview and quickly recruited suitable candidates.

Assistant to the factory director: Liu Cui, 25 years old, college degree, major in administration, native of Tianshui County;

Accountant: Cai Dongrong, 29 years old, college degree, majoring in financial accounting, native of Tianshui County;

Workshop leader Zhou Daming, 32 years old, has a junior high school education and is from Qinghe Village. He has worked abroad for ten years and has rich experience in production workshops.

In addition, the factory has also recruited a group of production workers. There are no restrictions on education, age, etc. They are only required to be diligent, able to endure hardship, and not afraid of tiredness;

As the news spread, people from Qinghe Village, old and young, came to apply for jobs. There were children in their teens who had dropped out of school, and people in their seventies or eighties...

Child labor must not be used, and elderly people who have lost their labor force cannot be employed;

Many young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out to work, and the labor force left in the village is already small. Some of them help pack and ship the agricultural fresh food at the agricultural fresh food company;

After some screening, only eight people in the village met the requirements;

The small mountain village is suffering from a "labor shortage".

The elderly and children left behind in the village have called their families who are working abroad;

"Son, come back quickly. There is a factory in our village now. You can work right in front of your home. I heard people say you can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month. How can you be as comfortable as being at home outside..."

"Mom, please stop working in other provinces and come home, okay? Grandma said you can also work in the factory in our village and make money..."

The employment opportunities at home attracted a group of young people who had gone out to work to return to their hometowns to work, and Shen Qiuqiu also hired sufficient manpower;

The originally deserted small mountain village has become more and more lively.

After the drying plant was established, it officially started production.

Shen Qiuqiu purchased sweet potato stems from the villagers at a price of 1 yuan/jin;

There will be great loss during the drying process of sweet potato stems. One hundred kilograms of sweet potato stems will only be about ten kilograms after drying. Therefore, the purchase price of sweet potato stems cannot be too high, otherwise you will suffer losses.

Of course, the villagers will not dislike the purchase price being too low;

After all, sweet potato stalks are not a rare thing. They can be found everywhere in rural areas, and they are basically used to feed pigs;

Now that I know this thing can still be sold for money, it's not too late to be happy.

Moreover, sweet potato stems grow vigorously and can be picked multiple times; moderate picking will not affect the growth of sweet potatoes, but will help increase sweet potato production.

One acre of sweet potatoes can pick 2000 kilograms of sweet potato stems, and each kilo costs 1 yuan, which can increase income by 2000 yuan per acre;

The villagers can make a lot of money just by selling sweet potato stems, which is a surprising windfall.

This year, several families who followed Shen Qiuqiu to plant chestnuts and sweet potatoes were so happy that they smiled crookedly.

Lin Hongxi's family has a lot of land. This year she planted ten acres of chestnut and sweet potatoes. She can earn 20,000 yuan just from selling sweet potato stems. The 20,000 yuan is like picking up for free.

Lin Hongxi felt happy, smiled when meeting everyone, and became more and more polite to Shen Qiuqiu.

On the first day of operation, the Qinghe Agricultural Fresh Drying Factory received 34,000 kilograms of sweet potato stems;

The collected sweet potato stems need to go through processes such as sorting, cleaning, boiling, cooling, and drying before they can be made into dried sweet potato stems for easy storage and transportation.

Among them, the drying step is very critical. The taste and quality of sweet potato stems are largely affected by factors such as drying temperature and drying time. Shen Qiuqiu spent a lot of money to buy the latest drying equipment. The dryer is equipped with intelligent temperature and humidity control systems to ensure the quality of sweet potato stems.

The dried sweet potato stems can be sold after sorting and packaging.

The processing and production process of sweet potato stems is not complicated, and workers can get started quickly after simple training.

Acquisition-processing-production, each process on the assembly line is carried out in an orderly manner, and the work of the drying plant is gradually getting on the right track.

After hearing the news, villagers from nearby Shiliba Village also brought sweet potato stems from their fields to sell.

The drying factory receives tens of thousands of kilograms of fresh sweet potato stems every day;

The produced dried sweet potato stalks are piled up in half of the warehouse.

On this day, Liu Cui, assistant to the factory director, and Cai Dongrong, the accountant, found Shen Qiuqiu together.

Cai Dongrong put a stack of paper receipts on Shen Qiuqiu's desk, "Director, this is the factory's expenses for a week, mainly the purchase money paid to the villagers, a total of 235,000; now it is on the factory's account I only have more than 60,000 yuan left, which can only last about three days.”

Liu Cui sighed, "I contacted several agricultural product export companies and sent samples. As of today, no one has given us a clear answer."

"Well, I understand, you go to work first."

Shen Qiuqiu pinched her eyebrows, and the cold fingertips brought a slight chill, which made her tired mind clearer.

Since she returned to her hometown to start her own business, she has always had smooth sailing;

He opened an online store, took shares in a farmhouse, established a fresh produce company, and formed a professional farmer cooperative... His career has been prosperous and he has accumulated a certain amount of wealth.

Although it was a bit risky to set up a food drying factory with limited funds, it was based on careful consideration, detailed plans, and adequate preparations.

Unexpectedly, he fell into trouble.

At the beginning of preparations for the establishment of the factory, Shen Qiuqiu visited several trading companies engaged in sweet potato stem export projects and reached preliminary cooperation intentions with the two companies;

Because the factory was still under construction at the time, there was no production and sales qualification, and there was no way to provide samples, so it was only a verbal agreement and no formal contract was signed.

After the food drying plant was put into production, Shen Qiuqiu immediately contacted the heads of the two companies and sent samples.

One of the companies refused cooperation on the grounds that the sample did not meet export standards;

Although another company did not refuse cooperation, it lowered the previously negotiated acquisition price by 30%.

The current situation is that drying factories purchase large quantities of fresh sweet potato stems from farmers every day, but the dried sweet potato stems they produce have no way to sell them.

It cost nearly 500,000 yuan to buy land, build a factory, and buy equipment. Another 300,000 yuan was transferred to the drying factory's public account for purchase... Shen Qiuqiu didn't have much money left.

The Agricultural Fresh Company made some money from selling Sunshine Rose grapes this month, but it also needs to be used for business turnover;

And that money has only been partially received, and most of it is still backlogged on the Wheatfield Mall platform;

The platform has regulations that settlement can only be carried out 10 days after the order is confirmed and received.

Shen Qiuqiu leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh;

There was too much capital outflow, and there was no revenue coming in. The drying factory faced the risk of the capital chain breaking just one week after its establishment.
