Reborn since 2005

Chapter 693 Amulet

Relying on that pickled cabbage processing factory, Dad Xiao is now prosperous, and his reputation and status are much stronger than before within the system.

There are more than a dozen companies processing agricultural products in the county, but most of them are small-scale operations and are limited by sales channels. They do not have much scale and cannot produce much benefit.

The one that did the most was the one where he was the factory director.

This is not a big deal.

It would be huge if we build several similar food processing plants this year.

This has truly helped local people become rich and increased farmers' income.

Not only can it create hundreds of jobs, but more importantly, it can promote local industrial upgrading and benefit thousands of rural families.

For the local area, it is also a real political achievement.

If you can achieve such results, you will certainly be taken seriously.

Real investors are venturing out into the world and currently have no intention of joining the circle back home, so these benefits fall on Dad Xiao.

For the local government, Dad Xiao, who has worked in the system for more than 20 years, is also one of his own and is easier to communicate with.

The local government has hinted to him that after a while, he will be incorporated into the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, and the Municipal Entrepreneurs Association has already accepted him. When the election comes, he will at least be a director.

The cooperation at the local level is also quite good. Whether it is loans, land grants, or tax exemptions, they are all very generous.

We have done our best within the scope allowed by the policy.

Of course, there are also requirements for him - don't be limited to this village or this town, but take a longer-term view and cover the entire county to help more people get rich and create more jobs.

A county definitely has more resources than a town and will have more opportunities.

Dad Xiao would not reject such a thing, but he also knew that Yan Xin's main goal in investing in such a company was to increase the income of the people in his hometown, not just to make money.

If you want to make money, you can make other investments.

And he also knew that Yan Xin really had no intention of making money from this factory. Basically, all the money he earned last year was spent on expanding production capacity and improving employee benefits, including New Year's Day. Ten's fireworks display is also included.

I'm not sure whether I have such thoughts about places outside my village and town.

But that was all in the future, so he did not refuse such a request, but said that the radiation range would be expanded in the future.

He is not from this village and does not have such deep feelings for this village. He thinks more about profit.

From his personal perspective, of course he hopes to invest in more places in the future, so that his status will be higher.

Not to mention walking sideways in the local area, but with so many jobs in hand, at least no one dares to bully him, and they will give him a little favor and become a decent person again.

The word "decent" is now his biggest pursuit.

The time when he left the system and was looked down upon by others left a very deep memory on him, and he didn't want to go back to that state again.

Be respected wherever you go.

Making money is not that important - the factory doesn't belong to him, he only gets that salary. As the factory gets bigger, he won't be able to get a higher salary increase, but it will only give him more face.

Now that Xiao Shiyu's business is so successful, even if he does nothing, he will not be short of money.

What he lacks is respect.

Especially after the respect you once had has been taken away from you for a period of time.

His visit this time brought local leaders' affirmation of their investment in setting up a factory in their hometown, and also brought local leaders' good expectations for the future of this enterprise, as well as their request to expand the business to the entire county.

It is limited to this village and town, and the pattern is too small.

But the pattern cannot be too big. If the business is spread to the whole city, some investment opportunities that could have been kept in the county will slip away.

Parents still hope that the benefits will stay local.

So the local idea is to suggest that they look for more opportunities in the county, but only in the county.

Of course, Dad Xiao also made some personal suggestions and felt that he should really consider other places in the county for future investments.

He also has a lot of information on hand, that is, what kind of resources are available in other places in the county and what can be done.

He didn't collect this himself. Yan Xin didn't make such a request, and he didn't have the time.

It's information collected by cadres in those places, and it has quite detailed data.

——There are still people in the local area who want to do something practical.

Developing a place benefits everyone, so there are still some people who are attentive in this matter.

Sometimes we just need an investor.

In fact, it is not a matter of lack of funds, but more of a lack of a promotion and sales channel.

The funding problem is actually easy to solve, but the sales channel problem is quite difficult.

Yan Xin, on the other hand, controls several Internet platforms with large traffic and a large number of leading online stores, which happens to have sales channels and promotion channels.

If someone else does this, there is a high possibility of losing money.

After all, the processing of these agricultural products has little technical content and can be done in many places. The competition is too fierce.

But Yan Xin, who has promotion and sales channels, has a greater chance of making money.

Just like the current sauerkraut processing factory, it is not that they are technically better than others, but that they have mastered the sales channels, so they can make money.

It can be said that the local government has pinned its hopes for the revitalization of local agriculture on Yan Xin, the new Internet boss.

Dad Xiao had read the information and had some thoughts in his mind, so he talked to Yan Xin about it while eating.

He didn't have that information with him, so he couldn't give too detailed data, but he still knew the general things.

In his opinion, there are indeed many investment opportunities to turn their company into a large agricultural product processing company or even a brand.

"What do you think is that we need to expand investment in the future? Not just in our village, but also in other villages and towns?" Yan Xin asked him with a smile.

"Yes, I think so." Dad Xiao admitted honestly.

Then he said,
"I think this is better for us. It can make our enterprise stronger, diversify our operations, and increase our ability to withstand risks. Finally, we can give back to the society, gain a better reputation, and drive more farmers to become rich, which is equivalent to Make us a golden body."

He knew why Yan Xin invested in such a factory in his hometown.

This kind of statement makes it easier to impress him.

Yan Xin originally only wanted to help the villagers in his own village improve their living standards. Later, he thought that it could be spread to the whole town, but it should be focused on this village.

I don't want to make a bigger investment.

There are many places in this town that he has never been to and is not familiar with at all, let alone other towns.

Although he can be said to be a fellow countryman, he really doesn’t have much affection.

There is nothing profitable about this, and he has never thought about making money from this. When the time comes, the profits will be returned to the society. He only earns a reputation.

He felt that it would be enough to mobilize half of the town with the village as the core. It was within his ability and he would not lose much money. Not too ambitious.

But what Dad Xiao said made him feel a little moved.

He understood what Dad Xiao meant. To cast a golden body was to use the reputation of the fellow villagers to get himself an extra amulet.

With this amulet, you can ward off many disasters.

Moreover, driving farmers to become rich, changing the fate of some rural families, and making their lives better will indeed give people a sense of accomplishment.

He smiled and asked: "If you can do that, how much will it cost?"

Dad Xiao said: "Except for the tens of millions of investments you promised last year, there is no need to invest any more money."

"Can it be done?" Yan Xin was surprised, "With just tens of millions, what can we do?"

"It can be done," Dad Xiao said, "Money is the smallest problem. They have promised that as long as we are willing to invest and ensure that all investments are local, they can give us low-interest loans, with a limit of several hundred million. Can."

Yan Xin was surprised: "So bold? Aren't you afraid that we will lose money?"

"It's only a few hundred million, and you have to invest here. The boss is still you, so why are you afraid?" Dad Xiao smiled.

If Dad Xiao were to take out the loan himself, it would be impossible to give him such a large amount.

What if the money is taken away?

What if you lose?
But Yan Xin is different. If you get to know him a little, you will know that he is already a rich man with a net worth of several billion or more. What does it mean to have multiple loans worth hundreds of millions?
If you invest locally, the benefits will be obtained locally, and there is nothing to worry about.

Yan Xin smiled and said: "That's the truth."

He asked him again: "But aren't you afraid that you will not be able to repay the loans after taking on so many loans? You may not be able to make money if you do agricultural product processing without any technical advantages."

"My idea is to do it slowly and step by step."

Dad Xiao said his thoughts,
"Now our sauerkraut processing plant is certain to be profitable. Whether the other agricultural product processing plants to be built this year will be profitable will be known next year. If the profit margin is not clear, then we naturally have no need. Expand investment. If there is a certain amount of profit, there is no need to wait until the capital is recovered before increasing investment. You can borrow some money and make new investments. I don't recommend borrowing hundreds of millions of dollars at once to cover all those projects. It would be too risky to do it. However, the pace of expanding investment after making money is also slower, so I think it is best to take out loans in stages and take out some loans on the premise that the repayment ability is certain. A more stable but not too conservative line.”

If you are too conservative, you may miss the best opportunity.

If you are too radical, you will trap yourself again.

He thinks it's better to choose one of them and invest in a safe range as much as possible.

Yan Xin thought seriously for a while, then glanced at Feng Xi. Feng Xi nodded to him, so he said:

"What you said makes sense, you can think about it."

Dad Xiao's face lit up with joy.

Yan Xin added: "But this year we will still make the investments we agreed on last year. Once those investments are completed and we are sure they can be profitable, we can then talk about other things."

"I think so too." Dad Xiao said.

"But if I have time, I can check out other projects, but I still focus on these current projects." Yan Xin said.

"No problem!" Dad Xiao said.

If we do a good job in these few projects this year, we won't have a clear result until the second half of next year.

Even if new investments are to be made, it will have to be the year after tomorrow.

For Xiao Dad, two years is not a long time.

Yan Xin's ability to say this gave him hope of making the company bigger, and he felt excited.

Dad Yan and Wu Xiuhong both felt frightened as they listened, and some doubted whether they had heard wrongly.

This is not a small number, but a number of hundreds of millions.

That's a scary number.

It sounds like listening to a myth.

They never imagined that a number of several hundred million could be discussed so easily.

——Has your son grown to this point?

In the following time, Yan Xin also talked to Dad Xiao about the issue of talent reserve.

He didn't doubt Father Xiao's ability, but at his age, he would only be able to do it for a dozen years at most.

He certainly doesn't have much time to spend here.

When Dad Xiao retires, someone will have to support him.

This requires strengthening the talent reserve.

The current pickled cabbage processing factory is just a grassroots team. There are no capable people working here. It is mainly supported by a team that Xiao's father pulled from elsewhere.

With such a grassroots team, it is okay to maintain the operation of the pickled cabbage processing plant.

If the scale is expanded in the future, there will be a serious shortage of talents.

After the agricultural product processing plants are built this year and will be put into production next year, management is already a problem.

Not to mention building other factories.

Talent reserve is a big issue,

Dad Xiao assured him: "Don't worry about this. After you mentioned this issue before the Chinese New Year, we have already started working on it. In the first month, we recruited dozens of young people, all of whom have attended middle school. In a few more In the graduation season, we are also preparing to recruit a group of college students, so we must do a good job in talent reserve. "

The reason why I mentioned "graduated to middle school" is because most of the factory's previous employees had only attended elementary school, and some had not even attended elementary school.

That is a group of rural employees whose average age is over 50 years old.

In contrast, young people who have attended middle school can indeed be called talents.

Hearing Dad Xiao talk about wanting to recruit college students, Yan Xin couldn't help but ask: "Is the treatment in our factory attractive to college students?"

He knows that the starting salary for college students is not very high now, especially those from ordinary universities.

However, this is a factory in a rural area. In the eyes of many people, it is a job with no future and the same salary is not attractive at all.

——Is it because you studied hard in college just to work in the countryside?

"Just recruit local people. You can describe their future development space to them. The job arrangement will also arrange management positions such as assistant factory director and assistant director. In addition to salary, you can also provide a certain degree subsidy. I think, It should be able to attract some people." Dad Xiao said.

Not all people like to leave their hometown and go to big cities to study. Some people just want to stay local.

The salary is about the same, maybe even a little higher, which is not unacceptable in rural areas.

Anyway, there is no need to recruit many people. A dozen or so people are enough to support this grassroots team.

In this regard, Dad Xiao still has a certain degree of confidence.
