In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 664: A tall building rises from the ground

Li Duoyu had no intention of teaching the entire salting kelp process to the kelp farmers in the village.

Although kelp shreds are simple to make, there is a very important problem, which is the preservation process.

There is no cold storage on the island, so the salted kelp cannot be preserved. If it is not preserved, the salted kelp will rot.

If you teach them too early, it may not be a good thing for the promotion of new products. If the salted kelp produced by some people is substandard, it will affect the promotion of new products.

Of course, Li Duoyu is not a good man. He always thinks of the villagers when he comes across something good, but of course he has to make money for himself first.

Wusi Road, Rongcheng.

On the fifteenth floor of a newly built landmark building, there is a company of approximately 200 square meters.

There is a sign of "Minlong Distribution Company" hanging on the door. There are several offices inside and a large tea table in the hall.

The office with the general manager's sign has always been empty, but the configuration inside is quite high-end.

There are not only two bookcases, but also many large books, such as "Cihai" and "Dream of Red Mansions".
There is also a high-end nanmu desk and a cowhide boss chair in the office.

There are not many employees in the office, only about ten people, most of them are women.

They have been working here for more than two months, but have not seen the general manager come to the company so far.

Although the company is not very large, its configuration is super luxurious, with almost every two workstations equipped with a telephone.

Although the company had just opened, the phone was ringing frequently. As the phone rang, a female staff member with a sweet voice picked up the phone and listened to what the other party said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, but we may have to wait another month for the shrimp seedlings. We will notify you as soon as possible when the seedlings are ready."

Xiao Lin in the office has been feeling so comfortable these days. There are beautiful women everywhere outside the glass window.

He loves his master to death. Knowing that he is still single, she hired so many pretty girls. He used to be late for work, but now he arrives early almost every day.

But at this moment, he was startled by the ringing of the phone on the table as he was sitting with his legs crossed and humming a song.

There were only a few people who would make this call. Not long after Xiao Lin answered the phone, he hurriedly shouted to his master: "Boss, the general manager said he will come to our place this afternoon."

An Yuliang replied: "Did the general manager tell us what time we will arrive?"

"I forgot to ask."

An Yuliang looked at him speechlessly: "If you don't ask, let's wait downstairs from 1:30 pm."

Xiao Lin really wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he forget to ask the time? Now he could only wait downstairs.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Duoyu drove the Crown car to this new landmark building.

There are flags of several countries flying at the door, and almost all the cars parked are luxury cars. It can be said that anyone who can open a company here must be powerful, except for scam companies of course.

After seeing that it was Li Duoyu who was driving, An Yuliang hurried over and said, "Mr. Li, let me help you park the car."

"I can do it myself."

Seeing Li Duoyu parking the car by himself, An Yuliang looked at Xiaolin with disdain. This kid still hasn't learned how to drive well.

"Hurry up and get your driver's license. Next time you encounter a situation like this, be smart and be aware of it."

Xiao Lin glanced at Chen Wenchao who was sitting in the back seat of the car and muttered, "Brother Chao doesn't know how to drive either."

An Yuliang couldn't help but kick him: "Xiao Chao is too busy to learn how to drive. Give me the driver's license by the end of the year. Do you hear me?"

Xiao Lin:.
Li Duoyu followed Manager An to the branch company he opened. To be honest, it was his first time here.

After reaching an agreement with Manager An, I directly allocated 150,000 yuan from the company to allow him to set up a distribution company.

Now Minlong’s sales system and breeding system are separated, and the distribution aspect is currently in charge of Manager An.

When Li Duoyu arrived at the company, he found that most of the employees were young girls, and they were lined up in a row. When they saw Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao, they said respectfully:
"Hello, General Manager, Hello, Mr. Chen."

Li Duoyu was somewhat mentally prepared. When recruiting people, An Yuliang had discussed with him and said that women would have greater advantages in the distribution industry, so the proportion of female employees was relatively high.

Their job is more like a combination of telephone sales and customer service, and they are responsible for both sales and after-sales.

Chen Wenchao, who had never seen such a scene, blushed all the way to his neck when he was called by so many beautiful girls. He became unnatural and didn't dare to look at them directly. Instead, he kept his head down and walked.

Li Duoyu replied calmly: "Don't do this next time, let's go back to work."

Li Duoyu followed An Yuliang to his office. Although Manager An said that it was still necessary to show off, this was too much of a show.

But Li Duoyu also understood that the most important thing in the sales industry is packaging. To put it bluntly, if you don’t package the same product well, others won’t even look at it twice.

“This office is well decorated.”

Li Duoyu sat on the boss chair made of top-grain cowhide. At this moment, he finally felt like a boss.

Not long after, Chen Wenchao took out three canned glass bottles from the cloth bag he was carrying.

The cans contained pickled kelp shreds. After seeing this, An Yuliang immediately asked, "Boss Li, are these cans new products?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "The main reason I came here today is to give you new products to try and see your opinions."

Xiao Lin, who was always disliked, took the lead this time and said, "Boss Li, let me try first."

An Yuliang said disdainfully: "With your mouth, you scream when something spicy tastes spicy, there's no way you can eat it."

Xiaolin looked aggrieved.

If I'm not proactive, I'll be scolded. If I'm proactive, I'll be looked down upon. I always feel like whatever I do is wrong.

An Yuliang took the chopsticks and tried the kelp shreds in three glass cans respectively, looking a little surprised.

"Mr. Li, there are three flavors?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Manager An, which of these three types of kelp shreds do you think is more suitable for promotion in our coastal areas?"

Without even thinking, An Yuliang pointed to the can in the middle and said, "This tastes good. It's a little spicy but not too spicy. It tastes very fragrant. It's good with porridge, rice or wine."

Li Duoyu nodded. In fact, he was very familiar with the taste of coastal people. Normally, people like to eat salty food. They can eat spicy food but not too much. The main feature is the fragrance.

An Yuliang pointed at the first can and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, it doesn't look like your can is going to be sold in our province."

Li Duoyu nodded. It was indeed easy to work with smart people. He made a total of three series this time.

One is a chili pepper series for mainlanders, another is for locals, and the last one is instant kelp shreds, which are pickled for better flavor but have a longer shelf life. After An Yuliang finished eating the kelp shreds, Li Duoyu suddenly asked, "Manager An, do you think my kelp shreds can be compared with pickled mustard tuber?"

After hearing this, An Yuliang's half-closed eyes suddenly widened a few points. During the time he traveled all over the country, he had always been optimistic about the pickled mustard tuber product.

The sales of this product have always been very good. It can be said to be the best-selling product of this era. The demand for this product is very large both in the city and in rural areas.

But on the other hand, the competition is also fierce. Almost every province has its own brand of pickled mustard tuber. Fujian Province has Xiapu Pickled Mustard Tuber, the neighboring province has Xiaobaitu and Xieqiao Pickled Mustard Tuber, and there is also Fuling in the mainland, etc.

An Yuliang never thought that his boss would ask such a question. He smiled and said, "Boss Li, I can't guarantee this for you. Whether some things are good or not is not up to us. It depends on the market reaction."

Li Duoyu knocked on the table and then said, "I have already started production here. Let's distribute the goods first. Just like you said, let's see the market reaction first. If it's good, we will go out."

An Yuliang replied: "Boss Li, please rest assured that within half a month, all channels in the province will be laid out for you."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu was stunned. This sentence sounded simple, but for a boss, there was no more pleasant sound than this.

"Manager An, thank you for your hard work!"

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he then said: "By the way, when you are free, I will hand over the food packaging business to you. I plan to directly purchase imported equipment.

When the time comes, I will contact you, and you can go to the island country to meet with the people there and bring back the quotation. If it is suitable, we can directly use the imported equipment."

Although there are equipment in China, this kind of thing will soon be eliminated. Li Duoyu thinks it is better to do it in one step.

Kobayashi, who was silent on the side, had his eyes wide open and his heart beat faster.

Has the boss been sent abroad?

At that time, will you take me with you? In this way, I can also "travel at public expense".

When he was still working at the United Distribution Company, Li Xiuqing was sent abroad for inspection, and he was almost envious to death.

Manager An asked back, "Boss Li, won't you go with us then?"

Li Duoyu sighed and said, "Next, there are the matters of kelp harvesting and shrimp seedlings. I may be busy and have no time to go abroad."

"understood."

Li Duoyu still had many ideas, which he did not tell Manager An. This was the reason why he introduced advanced packaging equipment from abroad at the beginning.

It is paving the way for fresh food logistics. What restricts the development of seafood is fresh food logistics, which is to transport seafood to the mainland relatively intact.

Then the market for seafood will be wider. Currently, only dried seafood can be sold to the mainland. Fresh seafood is almost impossible to find in the mainland, and even frozen shrimps are very rare.

In order to break this situation, Li Duoyu must do two things, one of which is better food packaging.

The other is cold chain logistics.

The former is relatively easy to solve and can be solved by importing equipment, but the latter, cold chain logistics, requires a large investment of funds.

At present, the cost of an imported cold chain logistics vehicle can allow the current Minlong Company to work for two or three months for free.

In this era of economic explosion, Minlong seems to be making a lot of money, but in fact it is not that great.

Although Lin Akuan from the neighboring county only does sugar business, that stuff is definitely a strategic material and the demand for it is very large.

The profits are much higher than those of those engaged in breeding, and it has also encouraged the surrounding towns and villages to grow sugarcane. The overall economic boost is not much worse than theirs.

As for the electronic workshops in southern Fujian, they have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

If the organization hadn't been interested in training him and hadn't shown up quite often, his Minlong would really not be as good as these real big guys.

To put it bluntly, they can't even beat Chen Yuansu's Sanyuan Group, let alone the current mainstream electronics industry.

Li Duoyu stood in his office and looked into the distance, but the scene not far downstairs made him a little dazed.

In the future core area of ​​Rongcheng, there are actually many vegetable fields and ponds behind the buildings on both sides of the street.

Seeing this, Li Duoyu said to Manager An: "Help me get a calligraphy piece when you have time."

After hearing this, An Yuliang suddenly became interested and said, "I happen to know the president of the Calligraphers Association. I can ask him to help write whatever words Mr. Li wants to write."

"A towering building rises from the ground!"
-
A week later.

With the Xinyuan Group and Manager An working together on both channels, a product called [Minlong Kelp Silk] quickly became popular in Fujian Province.

At the Rongcheng Farmers’ Market, as soon as the kelp shreds were put on display, they were immediately sold out.

An entire page of the newspaper was filled with advertisements for Minlong kelp shreds.

Even the local TV station aired the ad. It was very simple, just one sentence: Minlong kelp shreds are simply delicious!
In the past, people always liked to add some dried fish and pickled mustard to their rice, but since the appearance of kelp shreds.

I don't know why, but it has become a trend. Many children can't help asking before eating: "Do you have kelp shreds?"

This dish was even added to the Rongcheng compound. Secretary Huang, who came to the cafeteria to get food, smiled and said, "Boss, this new kelp shreds is good, you should try it."

The big boss said disdainfully: "The TV and newspapers are all its advertisements."

"Did Duoyu send these kelp shreds in our cafeteria?"

Huang Qingfeng nodded.

"Tell him to stop doing these unnecessary things and focus on developing the business and expanding the scale of the enterprise."

Huang Qingfeng smiled and said, "Duoyu told me that when the time comes, in addition to canned packaging, it can also be packaged like pickled mustard tubers."

The big boss was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "He has quite a lot of clever ideas. If that's the case, we have to support him more. When we have time, go ask him if he needs any help."

Huang Qingfeng shook his head and said, "It's different now. We can't help him even if we want to. He is not short of money now. Nearly 4,000 acres of kelp will be harvested soon. In addition, kelp silk is very popular recently. I don't know how much money he will make."

The boss snorted, "You're making too much money, why don't you pay some taxes?"

Huang Qingfeng smiled and said, "This is an emerging industry. The tax on seafood has not yet been determined. It's good enough that they don't need subsidies from us."

The big boss frowned slightly and said, "It feels a bit unfair. We collect taxes from fruit and rice farmers, but why don't we collect taxes from seafood?"

Huang Qingfeng smiled and said, "How about I bring up this tax at the next meeting and see how to deal with it."

The leader shook his head and said, "Forget it. We are just starting out, so we should not dampen their enthusiasm. The tax burden has already made the farmers very upset. If I just pick peaches when we are just starting out, I will be scolded to death."
