The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 1225 You still have to rely on yourself (7000) Good night

Just when everyone thought that Cao Shujie would choose one of the two bidding proposals as the final construction party, Cao Shujie clapped his hands and chose to let the two construction parties each be responsible for half, and start work at the same time, requiring that the installation of the agricultural planting cooperative's integrated drip irrigation equipment be completed in the shortest time possible.

Even Chen Lei and Qu Huafu did not expect such an outcome.

Although they were still unwilling to accept the fact that they quoted a price of more than 2900 million for the project but only received more than 1400 million in the end, compared with other bidders who got nothing, they were lucky because at least they got the order.

After deciding on the final construction party, the next step was to announce it to let all villagers in the three villages know, and then carry out the construction simultaneously. The price was 5600 yuan per mu, and relevant fees were collected from all villagers who agreed to the construction according to their shareholding ratio. The remaining part would be made up by the Caojiazhuang Village Committee.

The fees collected from the three villages are temporarily kept by the Caojiazhuang Village Committee. After paying a 10% project deposit to Chen Lei and Qu Huafu's companies respectively, the integrated drip irrigation project officially started construction.

At the same time, the Caojiazhuang Village Committee also contacted Han Dingping to dig a well.

Because the difficulty of digging a well in an orchard is completely different from that of digging a well in the mountain, the cost is much lower than what Cao Shujie spent on digging a well in the mountain.

Moreover, whether it is Caojiazhuang, Taodong Village or Zhujiazhuang, they are all close to the Yellow River, with abundant groundwater resources, so digging wells is not difficult.

However, in order to ensure smoother water use in the future, the well was dug very deep.

When the entire project was under construction, Caojiazhuang's tourism industry had already started. Some foreign tourists were curious about these construction projects, and some even came closer to see what they were.
However, after being informed by the Caojiazhuang Village Committee by the construction companies Chen Lei and Qu Huafu, the public security brigade arranged people to patrol the area and warn tourists not to get close to the construction companies to avoid any accidental injuries.

Regarding this, after learning the specific situation, the tourists no longer blindly moved forward, and everyone stayed away from the construction area.

When the integrated drip irrigation installation project just started, Cao Shujie also came to take a look and did not find any problems.

However, Cao Shujie still specifically instructed Cao Shuchao to arrange for the public security brigade to conduct a thorough inspection.

Cao Shuchao also promised Cao Shujie to complete the task.

……

While the agricultural planting cooperative was busy installing integrated drip irrigation equipment, relevant policies to ensure economic development in Dongshan Province were also issued.

One of them is aimed at the development of agricultural economy, including but not limited to the agricultural and sideline products processing industry.

The general idea is to ensure the healthy and orderly development of such enterprises. From a practical perspective, the interests of relevant enterprises and farmers across the province are effectively protected, tax incentives and related subsidy applications are implemented for such enterprises, and at the same time, it is advocated that various regions pay more attention to such enterprises.

More detailed related subsidies and preferential policies are also listed very clearly, with the aim of promoting the bold development of related enterprises without any worries.

Xuemeng Food Factory is a member of the deep processing industry of agricultural and sideline products and also a leader among them. After seeing the relevant policies issued by Dongshan Province, they immediately began to study and see what benefits it would bring to them.

However, after reading these details, they found that Xuemeng Food Factory has been enjoying most of the policies. For example, regarding the tax preferential policy, Xuemeng Food Factory’s tax preferential treatment is 5% off, which means it can be reduced by half.

Cao Shujie didn't even believe that they would be exempted from all charges.

For example, Xuemeng Food Factory paid more than 8 million yuan in taxes last year, but according to relevant policies, the excess taxes can be refunded.

In addition, Xuemeng Food Factory also enjoys a credit line of 10 billion yuan, as well as a subsidy of 1% of the purchase amount of fruit trees purchased from farmers in the province, with the maximum subsidy not exceeding million yuan.

This part is more direct than the policy released by Dongshan Province this time, and the effect is very significant.

The subsidy policy formulated by the higher-ups this time by concentrating all their efforts is very effective for companies with a high debt ratio. However, Xuemeng Food Factory has zero debt. In fact, with the increase in its profit ratio in recent years, Xuemeng Food Factory itself has abundant cash flow.

Xuemeng Food Factory did not need a loan at all. The policy given to them by the Dongshan Provincial Government when it last evaluated the province's agricultural benchmark enterprises included a 10 billion yuan interest-free credit line that had never been used. However, the other four companies that were evaluated as excellent at the same time had already used up this credit line, but for those companies, it was still not enough.

There is no way, especially in the current situation, the higher the debt of a company, the more difficult it will be.

Policies like the half-tax refund are icing on the cake for Xuemeng Food Factory, making their cash flow more abundant.

Theoretically, there is no problem for Xuemeng Food Factory in the rear, but with the shrinking market, Xuemeng Food Factory's sales, sales volume, overall profit and other aspects will inevitably be affected.

Even the export trade that Xuemeng Food Factory just started last year has been greatly affected, and there is no hope in the short term.

As a result, Cao Shujie also considered turning the fruit wine to domestic sales.

However, whether from market research or the current situation, the market demand for such products is indeed not high.

This is also the first project that Cao Shujie has invested in that has encountered setbacks before it even started operating.

However, Cao Shujie was not discouraged. He originally thought that he could count on the rescue policy issued by the higher authorities to revitalize the enterprise. However, when he saw the specific policy content, Cao Shujie gave up this idea and began to consider other methods.

After entering April, Tong Jiayi's parents, Tong Zhanxin and Zheng Suying, took Tong Jiayi and Cao Huifang's birth dates to a professional master to look at the auspicious dates and set the dates for their engagement and wedding.

Cao Shujie does not support this kind of thing, but he does not oppose it either. He thinks that existence makes sense.

According to the master, April 4th in the Gregorian calendar, the fifth day of the third lunar month, the year of Wuxu, the month of Bingchen, the day of Renwu, and the day of Grain Rain in the twenty-four solar terms are all good days.

It is suitable for engagement, marriage, and population growth.

August 8th in the Gregorian calendar, July 30th in the lunar calendar, the year of Wuxu, the month of Gengshen, and the day of Jiawu.

Everything is appropriate and nothing is taboo!
Generally speaking, it is a good day to get married.

After hearing what his mother said, Cao Shujie remained silent.

Because he doesn't understand, it sounds very profound to him.

However, when he thought about the fact that his sister was going to get engaged on April 4 and married on August 20, and the deadline seemed very tight, Cao Shujie thought that there was no problem with Tong Jiayi's character, so as Cao Huifang's only brother, what kind of dowry should he give to his sister?

But I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I thought about it.

He had already given her money to buy her a house and a car, either by making up for the loss or giving her money directly. His wife Cheng Xiaolin also bought jewelry for her sister.

What's left?

His sister wants a residential plot in Caojiazhuang, and Cao Shujie has already submitted a request, which is currently under review.

He was thinking whether to build a house for his sister in Caojiazhuang after the approval of the housing land? It seemed like a good idea. Cao Shujie even called his sister to ask what kind of decoration style she wanted.

Cao Huifang was really happy after receiving the call from her brother. She had always wanted to buy a house of her own in Caojiazhuang, and this was a good opportunity.

Moreover, Cao Huifang didn't want to leave this place. She felt it was good to keep her roots in Caojiazhuang.

……

As the weather gradually gets warmer, especially in spring, Cao Zhenghu starts to come out again.

But compared with last year, Cao Zhenghu now needs to use a wheelchair to go out. For this reason, Cao Shujie got his grandfather an electric wheelchair to make it easier for him to travel.

After Caojiazhuang Children's Theme Park and Mengmeng Orchard reopened, Cao Jianguo started setting up a stall like he did last year, selling bread, eight-treasure porridge and pure milk.

Wang Yuelan takes care of her father-in-law and grandson at home.

But Wang Yuelan heard that her son and daughter-in-law were discussing sending Cao Yirui to kindergarten.

Wang Yuelan thought that since she could take care of her grandson, it would be okay to send her grandson Cao Yirui over two years later.

But Cao Shujie didn't think so. Seeing his son becoming more and more naughty and even a little lawless, he felt that he should find a place to set rules for him.

Kindergarten plays just such a role.

Besides, his son is already three years old this year, so it’s not appropriate to let him play at home all the time.

"Then let's send it in the second half of the year." Wang Yuelan said to his son and daughter-in-law.

Cao Shujie thought about it and compromised.

One day Cao Shujie came back from town. As soon as he got home, his wife Cheng Xiaolin asked him, "Shujie, how are the sales of your nutrient solution?"

"It's okay. Why do you think of asking this?" Cao Shujie put down his bag and clothes and asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin told him: "I have been live-streaming in the park recently, demonstrating to everyone how to use the nutrient solution. Many netizens said that using this thing to grow flowers and ornamental trees is very effective."

Hearing his wife say this, Cao Shujie was a little confused for a moment.

Cao Shujie has always used nutrient solution as nutritional supplement for fruit trees and has never thought about other aspects. But today his wife reminded him that ornamental flowers and ornamental trees are also plants, and some flowers and ornamental trees have high economic value. Does this mean that there is a new market?
"Is there anyone in your live broadcast room who wants to buy?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded and said to him, "Yes, there are many people who want to buy some to try."

"You may not know this, but nowadays there are many young people who grow flowers and ornamental trees at home, and they are willing to buy these complementary medicines," said Cheng Xiaolin.

She also gave her husband an idea: "Shujie, have you ever thought that many companies are willing to invest in greening? Some companies spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars every year on greening their factories. If the first generation of nutrient solution can enter this market, the prospects will be even greater than they are now."

The key is that unlike individuals, these companies are willing to spend money.

After hearing what his wife said at this time, Cao Shujie suddenly felt as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

He wondered why he hadn't thought of this aspect before, and even so many people in the company hadn't thought of this market?
The more Cao Shujie thought about it, the more he felt that what his wife said made sense. He immediately called Guan Boyong and asked him to pay attention to this market and to arrange for people to conduct research in this area.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie asked his wife: "What do you think about the current situation of the preserved fruits? How can we sell them better?"

"Let's go to the live broadcast room. There are a lot of people in my live broadcast room anyway. I'll try again." Cheng Xiaolin said to her husband.

Xuemeng Food Factory is their family's business. Cheng Xiaolin is also very concerned about the development of Xuemeng Food Factory. Cheng Xiaolin is also anxious because Xuemeng Food Factory cannot develop. Recently, she has been thinking about what she can do to help Xuemeng Food Factory from her perspective?
As for Cheng Xiaolin, she does nothing but making videos and live broadcasts. Apart from that, Cheng Xiaolin is not very good in other fields, and she doesn't like to cross over into industries that she is not familiar with.

Cao Shujie thought about the popular live streaming sales later, and after careful consideration, he said to his wife: "How about we try it together?"

Cao Shujie still felt that it was a bit unkind to let his wife bear such a thing alone.

As a man, he should also stand up at the critical moment.

"Let's give it a try. The worst-case scenario is that the current situation is maintained. Don't you think so?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her husband.

Cao Shujie nodded subconsciously, thinking that his wife was right.

Then I heard his wife say, "But if it really works, maybe it can even increase the factory's sales."

Cao Shujie nodded, thinking that his wife was right.

They have actually launched live streaming sales on Taobao, but Cao Shujie feels that the overall effect has not reached the kind of popular scenes he saw on other platforms in his previous life.

Sales of several hundred million per day...

In the past, Cao Shujie would have thought this was impossible.

Now Cao Shujie is wondering how they did it in the first place?
Some people may say that it is fake orders, but Cao Shujie does not deny this.

When Taobao was doing Double 11 before, Xuemeng Food Factory participated in the Double 11 shopping event and also invited external assistance (to fake orders). However, Cao Shujie didn't believe that the sales of hundreds of millions were all achieved by fake orders.

Moreover, Douyin has been around for almost two years, but the effect of its live broadcast has not yet been fully demonstrated. The Douyin Mall does not exist now, and Douyin is not linked to Taobao Mall or other mini-programs.

Now the offline sales volume has obviously declined, and may even continue to decline in the future. At this time, pure online store sales have also shown signs of lack of momentum.

Cao Shujie was wondering whether online live streaming could make up for the losses caused by the company’s lack of sales?
He wasn't sure either, but he decided to give it a try.

Fortunately, his wife is very popular in this area, but as for the specific situation, Cao Shujie can’t say for sure.

But just like his wife said, the worst that can happen is just the current situation, so what is there to be afraid of?

Just do it!
