Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 192 Special Zone Factory
In fact, Wang Dadong also wants to go and see. If there is a breeding company in mainland China that can produce broiler chickens that meet the needs of KFC, it will be a great thing for them.

KFC in Beijing is making money, and the rent and labor costs are lower than those in the United States. The average rent cost of KFC in the United States is about 20.00%, while the rent cost of the front store in Beijing is only [-]%. Not to mention the labor cost, it is only [-]% of the United States One, but the total profit margin still did not meet his expectations, because many raw materials need to be imported, which invisibly increased KFC's operating costs.

Needless to say, white-feathered chickens have been introduced into China long ago. In the 70s, when the Queen of the Netherlands visited China, she gave [-] grandparent chickens as a gift. Unfortunately, the unit that received these chickens at that time did not take away these precious grandparents. Chickens are raised as breeders, and they are fed fat and fat, only to fail to lay eggs.

After the reform and opening up, some farms have introduced white feather chickens, but because of the taste, they are not popular in the market, so the breeding scale has always been small, and because of the wrong breeding methods, the quality is also uneven, and there is no way to satisfy KFC. requirements.

Since there is no corresponding manufacturing technology in China, Qianmen imported a complete set of store opening equipment from Singapore in containers, and even the food trays and promotional posters in the store were imported.

In terms of ingredients, because domestic salt was too thick at that time, it would cause problems of varying thickness when mixed with seasoning powder, so the store urgently imported a batch of fine salt from abroad.

The domestic potato starch content is also insufficient, which does not meet KFC's standards, and the fried French fries are not crisp enough, so they can only be shipped by air.

So Wang Dadong eagerly hopes that domestic suppliers can catch up, so that the operating costs of domestic KFC can be further reduced. Even if Li Lei doesn't propose this time, he actually wants to see how the white feather chickens raised here are similar to those produced in the United States. What a big difference, can it meet the needs of KFC.

"Huh?" Entering the white-feathered chicken coop, Wang Dadong suddenly found that it was almost exactly the same as the scene he saw when he visited the farm in the United States. The densely packed cages were full of white-feathered and red-crested white-feathered chickens.

He subconsciously looked at the thighs, calves, side ribs, chicken breasts and chicken wings of these white feather chickens. This is the part that KFC pays most attention to when processing chicken wings and finger-licking original chicken.

The result made him very satisfied. The chicken wings and legs of these white-feathered chickens are obviously much fatter than the common broiler chickens in China, and the most rare thing is that the size and weight of the same batch of chickens are almost indistinguishable. After the chicken is ready, some are big and some are small, which leads to customer dissatisfaction.

KFC's chicken is sold by portion, not by weight. If the price is the same, the chicken legs that others get are much bigger than themselves, and the customer will definitely not agree.

"How did you do it?" Wang Dadong looked around. If it weren't for the small scale of the chicken coop, the number of chickens produced could not meet the needs of KFC at all, maybe he would have pulled Li Lei to sign the contract on the spot.

"It's nothing special. Scientific breeding methods, scientific breeding techniques, scientific feed formulas, and scientific epidemic prevention methods are all based on science, and only then have the current results!" Li Lei said calmly, agriculture has always been a The high-tech industry is just that people often don't realize it.

"Before you said that I didn't believe it, but I found out here that you are indeed capable of providing KFC with qualified products! When will your farm in Hebei be completed and put into production? Can I go and have a look?" Wang Dadong now compares Li Lei was still in a hurry.

Because the sooner you find a qualified supplier in China, you can greatly reduce the procurement cost and earn back the money from opening the store. At that time, when he, the president of the Far East region, returns to the KFC headquarters for a meeting, he can feel proud up.

"Now that the land leveling work has been completed, the construction of ground facilities will start soon. The land approved by the government is still surplus. It is not a problem to build another chicken coop specially for raising white-feathered chickens! We are already doing this work very well. If you are proficient, it will be officially put into operation at the beginning of next year, and you can start supplying white feather chickens to you in two months at most! If President Wang wants to see it, I will accompany you there anytime!"

It takes only 45 days for the white-feathered chickens to be slaughtered. Even if the preliminary work is included, the two-month deadline given by Li Lei is more than enough.

"Okay, okay, if it's convenient, let's go there tomorrow! Oh, by the way, can you give me some samples, I need to take them back for further testing." Wang Dadong has not been dazzled by joy, and now all he can see is The shape, weight, and taste of the white feather chicken still need to be tested in practice.

"Of course, you can choose the chickens in this chicken coop, and you can take the one you like!" This is a necessary process, and Li Lei readily agreed.

Wang Dadong carefully selected white-feathered chickens of different breeding times as samples, and asked his entourage to send them back to the capital as soon as possible, and waited for him to go back to see the test results in person.

Then I came to Langfang early the next morning. The choice of the farm was also carefully considered. From here, the two municipalities of Beijing and Jinmen can be radiated at the same time, and at the same time supply chicken, eggs and meat to these two big cities. Pork will not need to be moved in the next 30 to [-] years.

So when Li Lei was negotiating with the local government, he asked for a large piece of land, but now only a small part has been developed.

When they came over, the local leaders were also inspecting here. When they heard that Li Lei brought the owner of KFC, the leaders immediately lit up with excitement. It is close to BJ, and they have heard of it for a long time. After the opening of KFC, it became a lively scene, and some people even went to the capital to try it.

Now even the bosses of American companies have come to inspect it, which shows that the farm has great potential.

"I have already signed a contract with President Wang. From now on, all the eggs that KFC will use will be purchased from our farm. In addition, I am still working hard to get the broiler chicken supply business from the Beijing Animal Husbandry Bureau! "As soon as Li Lei came, he reported the good news to them!
The leaders were even happier. The supply contract was won before the farm was built. Couldn't this be added to this year's year-end summary?

"We in Langfang firmly support Director Li's plan. If there is anything that needs our cooperation, just ask, even if it is for us to persuade the Beijing Animal Husbandry Bureau, that's fine!" The leader was happy and took the initiative to take over the job. If you are from other units in the capital, we may still be a little bit worried, but the Animal Husbandry Bureau and they still dare to touch it.

Beijing has been engaged in construction and industrialization, and sooner or later the business of animal husbandry will be relocated. Now the Animal Husbandry Bureau has begun to discuss the land use of the farm with Langfang. It is not that they do not have the ability to bargain with each other.

It would be best if someone helped to get ahead, so Li Lei stepped on the donkey to get rid of this matter to the local leaders, and told them a good news by the way, "President Wang said that the KFC suppliers in the United States did not give them whole packages. Chicken, but cut and processed chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken breasts and other parts!"

"So I also agreed with Mr. Wang that I plan to import the most advanced automatic cutting equipment from the United States. I am already inquiring for prices from American equipment manufacturers. It is estimated that when the farm is completed, it will be shipped in for installation and use!"

American production equipment?Wouldn't it be possible to put on the name of a high-tech enterprise again?The leader automatically replaced Li Lei's words with political achievements, and he was even happier now.

After returning home, the leaders immediately contacted the Beijing Animal Husbandry Bureau. After talking about this matter, the Beijing City Animal Husbandry Bureau was quite unhappy at first. They had long regarded KFC’s broiler chicken supply contract as their own meat. After eating it, someone came to snatch it. This is definitely not allowed!

But after understanding the situation, they hesitated again. First, they would use the land in Langfang to move out, and if they didn’t agree, they would offend others; According to Liang's rumors, the most important job in Beijing right now is to host the Asian Games well, and if people go to the Asian Games Organizing Committee, they will feel uncomfortable.

Well, anyway, even if I win the KFC business, I won't get much benefit, and this is a public matter, so it's not worthwhile to offend a private person for the public's affairs.

So he hummed a few times, and the leaders of the Animal Husbandry Bureau left a word of fair competition and said nothing. After that, they didn't take this matter seriously, but anyone with a little brain knows that if there is a fair competition, They are certainly not Huinong's opponents.

The first batch of eggs arrived soon, and the quality was no worse than the ones they imported before. The price and supply speed were better than the imported ones. Now Wang Dadong decided to stop importing. From now on, the eggs used in the store All purchased from Li Lei.

Li Lei also took this opportunity to officially sell Hailan eggs into the Beijing market in large quantities. He said that the chickens eaten by the United States at Qianmen use our eggs, which is enough to attract countless consumers to buy.

As for the white-feathered chickens, they also passed the test, but because the construction of the farm will take some time, the imported products will not be replaced immediately. However, this process will not take too long. After the farm is built, Wang Dadong will definitely purchase it as soon as possible. White feather chicken produced by Li Lei.

In addition, Wang Dadong once again mentioned the issue of building a factory in Guangdong. There are several KFC fast food restaurants in Xiangjiang. Due to the small size of Xiangjiang, the eggs and chickens used in Xiangjiang stores are imported from Southeast Asia, and the cost is also high. If a farm is built in Guangdong, the purchase cost of Xiangjiang KFC can also be reduced a lot. He, the president of the Far East Region, naturally hopes that Li Lei can start construction as soon as possible.

"I'm going to go to the special zone next, and try to negotiate this matter with the special zone government as soon as possible." Li Lei wanted to open a shop in the special zone, not just for the few KFCs in Xiangjiang.

The first KFC in mainland China was opened in Beijing, while the first McDonald's was opened in a special economic zone. The address was Guanghua Building, Jiefang Road. The time was October 1990, 10. This store can accommodate 8 people dining at the same time. Ushered in the hot.

Moreover, McDonald's also has a store in Xiangjiang. In the next 20 years, KFC and McDonald's will blossom everywhere in China. The capital, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta are the places where they opened their stores first. Therefore, it is absolutely promising to build a farm in the Special Economic Zone. The fast-food giant's expansion strengthens itself.

Li Lei took the plane directly to the special zone, and when the plane landed, Wang Shi waited outside with his car, "Brother Wang, I have to rely on you for coming here this time!"

In the car, Li Lei told Wang Shi about the matter, and Wang Shi immediately patted his chest and assured him, "What am I supposed to do? As long as the leaders of the Special Economic Zone hear about such a good thing, they will actively beg you to start it as soon as possible." Build a field! I will organize a dinner tonight and call the leaders of the relevant units. Once you talk about the matter at the dinner table, they can handle it properly for you!"

In the evening, it was the star hotel where we had dinner last time. Li Lei and Wang Shi waited for the leaders to arrive in the lobby. After picking up a few leaders, an acquaintance walked in again, "Hey, isn't this Boss Li? He's coming to the special zone again. ?”

"Hello, Manager Ma, are you here alone today? Didn't you bring Teng Teng?" Li Lei hurriedly shook hands and said hello.

"My child has just entered high school and is busy studying, and he will have to study by himself later, so he will come out for dinner when he has time!" Manager Ma is very surprised, why do you care so much about my child.

"Manager Ma, let's have a drink together later?" Li Lei sent out an invitation.

"I have guests to accompany me, which private room are you in? I'll go over and toast!" Manager Ma declined.

"Then when I'm waiting for the weekend in two days, I called a few friends. Manager Ma brought Mrs. Ma and Teng Teng and we had a good drink. It's not that there's something wrong, but I just want to make Manager Ma a friend!"

It was hard for the dismounted manager to refuse, so he agreed with a few polite words. When the meal officially started, he really came over to toast, and everyone present, whether they knew each other or not, would have a full cup. Nothing has changed.

It is said that Brother Xiao Ma looks gentle, but in fact he can hold a lot of alcohol and is scary. Is this all hereditary?Seeing this scene, Li Lei muttered inwardly.

During this period, cadres in the SAR were completely different from cadres in other places. When cadres in other places heard that someone was willing to invest, they might welcome them, while cadres in the SAR welcomed a hundred people.

Moreover, Li Lei's farm can also be exported to Xiangjiang to earn foreign exchange, so they are even more supportive. Land and procedures are not a problem.

Li Lei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if the cadres all over the country had the quality and work efficiency of the special zone, how fast would China's development be!
The next day, he and Wang Shi followed the leader to the scene.
