I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 142 Heading to Tamamori
"Chen Mu, how did you come up with the idea of ​​cultivating bluegrass?"

Although this question has been answered several times, every time, new people who see this question will always ask it again.

So every time, Chen Mu could only answer again.

But this time it's a little different from before.

In the past, he would bluntly say that it was just for money and to steal the market from other forestry companies, but this time, he only slightly ignored these philistine ideas and focused on planting trees and inheriting sand control through three generations. On this point.

At the end of his speech, Chen Mu also complained a little: "At the beginning, I submitted an application for a sand control person, but it was never accepted. If not for this, I would have become an established sand control person!"

Yes.

Even though Sanmu Forestry Farm has begun to enter a stage of steady profitability, even though Sanmu Forestry Farm has already established a reputation in the northwest, even if it is bound to the system...

But every time Chen Mu thought about the days when there was no reply for more than half a month after submitting the application, he felt a senseless anger rising in his heart.

When he first contracted the contract, he had not yet bound the system, so in the end, whether he could make money by planting trees, whether he could make a profit, whether he could stabilize before losing all his money...

If it weren't for the unexpected discovery of business opportunities in the tourism industry, the expansion of the tourist business, and the money for planting trees, patents, and seedlings, he would have lost his stress and felt much more relaxed.

Otherwise, after winter this year, he would still have to go out to work to earn money in order to pay the contract fees for the coming year.

So every time he thought about this matter, Chen Mu became angry about the lack of reply to his previous application.

No, given the opportunity, he naturally wanted to tell the matter. He didn't ask for the final result, he just asked that this kind of thing would not happen again in the future!

The mayor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He saw the behavior of Boss Chen's son who had been calm just now and finally realized what he was doing.

Even though the other person is doing well in his career, at the end of the day, he is just a college student who has just graduated.

So, half dumbfounded and half happy, he said: "If you say that, then I have to thank you for not agreeing to your application. Otherwise, we would have lost a powerful forestry company in Landu!
Those who control desertification are noble and important. Their contribution to the greening of the Northwest is obvious to all, and they are indispensable defenders of the Northwest.

But Chen Mu, rather than asking you to be a guard, I prefer your achievements in cultivating saplings. "

At the end, he made a little joke.

"I'm glad your application was not approved. After all, Guardian can't cultivate new varieties of Poa annua, let alone win these two foreign exchange orders."

Chen Mu was speechless.

Once you say this, how do you ask me to answer it?

Because of the special environment in the northwest, the profit cycle of planting trees by yourself is too long, so the greening of the northwest has fallen into a very embarrassing situation.

Rich people don’t like this business.

Instead of having to go through so much trouble and exhaustion to make money, it would be better to organize employees to plant trees every year on Arbor Day, company holidays, and various festivals, and then let the media take photos and publicize it, and earn a reputation.

If you don’t have money, you don’t have the confidence to do this business.

Planting trees requires a lot of investment and a long profit cycle. The most important thing is to plant them until the end, and the majority will not make any money.

In addition, planting trees is hard and tiring, being exposed to the wind and sun all year round, wrapping yourself up tightly every day, and you have to endure the cracks and fine lines on your skin caused by the wind, and the roughness of your palms.

So as long as someone is willing to plant trees here, it is a very praiseworthy thing.

After the mayor said this, he looked at the bluegrass plants in the field and felt that the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.

When the leader is happy, it manifests itself in helping to solve problems.

He said: "Chen Mu, please introduce to me the specific situation of these Poa annua, and also, the next development direction of Sanmu, by the way, as well as some of the problems, dilemmas, difficulties encountered in it, etc. , you can talk about it together, as long as it can be solved, the government will definitely help."

help?

Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

Not to mention anything else, as far as the loan application submitted yesterday and the possible loan amount are concerned, we need help very much!

Since the leader said so, how could he be vague? !

So, Chen Mu opened his mouth and started crying.

Anyway, Zhang Zizheng also helped him sort out the key points of today yesterday: show off your achievements and cry for poverty.

And this speech is also skillful!

Therefore, he coughed lightly and took the first step: "Leader, although our Sanmu Forest Farm has only been established for a short time, the results are still very gratifying.

Now, our forest farm has signed a contract to supply [-] seabuckthorn seedlings every month. The demand for Haloxylon ammodendron and Elaeagnus angustifolia is also increasing day by day. Among them, the new variety Poa annua is...

Moreover, in addition to Poa annua, our forest farm also plans to cultivate other types of grass plants, among which Star Grass has made a major breakthrough, and plans to start promoting it at the Ningxi City Nursery Exhibition at the end of September..."

After the results are finished, it’s time to cry.

“Although our forest farm is still a small forest farm, we have always invested a lot in the research laboratory...

We have achieved excellent results in these aspects, but because the stall is too wide, the funding aspect...

In addition, due to the surge in orders, the number of employees also needs to increase, so the salary investment is another huge expenditure..."

……

Chen Mu talked nonchalantly, talking about whatever came to mind, but the central idea - crying for poverty, was completely on point from beginning to end, and he glanced at the mayor from time to time.

When the mayor showed interest in a certain sentence, he would focus on that sentence.

So when everything was said and done, the mayor's face looked even more satisfied.

"As for funding, the government will naturally help as much as possible."

The secretary behind him came out to answer the call at the right time.

"XX Bank has recently offered low-interest loans..."

After introducing the loan, he continued.

"For forestry companies, the government provides various subsidies. Has Boss Chen applied for these?"

For tree planting, the northwest government has three major subsidies.

The first is afforestation subsidies, the second is subsidies for cultivating improved seeds, and the last one is nurturing subsidies.

Afforestation subsidies are the kind of contracted tree planting that Chen Mu is doing now. Subsidies are provided based on the type of saplings, their quantity, and their survival rate. The more land is contracted and the more trees are planted, the more money you can earn. .

As the name suggests, the subsidy for breeding improved seeds is a subsidy for raising seedlings.

The amount and level of subsidies are divided according to the types of seedlings. The more types of seedlings cultivated by forestry companies, the higher the subsidy will be.

Therefore, as long as it is a large forestry company, it will cultivate as many types of saplings as possible. On the one hand, it is to meet the needs of market customers, and on the other hand, it is for this subsidy.

The tending subsidy is for the maintenance and repair of forest areas.The definition of this item is broad and wide, but the standard is quite high. In short, it is a bit confusing and difficult to figure out, especially for individual forest farm owners who want to apply, it is a troublesome thing.

Chen Mu replied: "Now I have only applied for one afforestation subsidy. As for the other two, I have not submitted the application due to qualifications and years of experience."

In fact, there should be none.

The afforestation part was also signed when signing the contract.

The other two applications have a requirement that the company must have been established for at least one year. However, the current Miki has been established too short, and the business license and company certificate have only been obtained not long ago.

So Chen Mu didn't do this useless work.

When I talked about the specific situation of the forest farm, the secretary felt a little numb.

These subsidies all have requirements and standards. In the end, the only way to go is low-interest loans from banks.

He was silent for a moment, glanced at the leader who was looking down at the grass, paused, and then said: "XX Bank has a large low-interest loan. Later, please send me various company information and I will inquire."

Chen Mule smiled brightly and nodded repeatedly.

After exchanging contact information, Chen Mu took the leader for a walk around the forest farm, looking at the oasis and then at the seabuckthorn, Haloxylon ammodendron, and Elaeagnus seedlings nurseries. The mayor and his team then drove away.

But before leaving, the mayor also mentioned something about the job.

Chen Mu also said something very calmly: The current order quantity of the forest farm has far exceeded the workload of the forest farm staff, but now it is because of financial constraints that it is unable to hire more employees.

In short, if I have money, I will hire people. If I don’t have money, I can’t even hire people.

As soon as the mayor left, Uncle Chen Wu and Uncle Nuha left together and returned to the village.

Lao Yang watched the group go away, then turned around and looked at his boss with a wry smile. Even though he had just listened to the whole story and knew that he had no money, he still couldn't help complaining.

"Store manager, I know that our forest farm is currently facing some financial difficulties, but because of these orders, our forest farm employees really can't keep up!"

Chen Mu was silent for a moment.

This is really a big problem.

Yesterday, Qian Wei and Xu Gengyun announced the good news to him, and Xu Gengyun kept saying that he wanted to celebrate his success.

After asking carefully, Chen Mu found out.

It turned out that after he came back, Qian Wei and Li Gengyun opened several orders in succession.

Among them, Li Gengyun's cheeky and nagging skills have been greatly utilized.

It is said that as long as someone inquires about him but does not buy, he will follow them with saplings and keep following them. He also claims that this is because he is afraid that the customer will not have to walk a few more steps to the booth to find him if he wants to buy.

According to Qian Wei, if he hadn't stopped him quickly, Xu Gengyun would have been beaten twice.

However, this method is cheap, but it is very effective.

In the day and a half after he left, Xu Gengyun actually signed five contracts.

Including the two previous orders from Qian Wei and abroad, there are now a total of 130 three Poa annua trees, 11 Elaeagnus angustifolia, [-] Haloxylon ammodendron, and [-] Sea Buckthorn.

According to the current progress of seedling cultivation, it is true that it is a little behind the pace.

So recruitment is urgent.

However, it is not economical to hire long-term workers, so short-term workers are better.

After going through his thoughts in his mind, Chen Mu decided to wait for Qian Wei to come back and talk to him about it.

After all, he is going to Yusen to participate in the government forest bidding project in the past two days. He is not at the forest farm and his return date is uncertain. Naturally, all matters related to the forest farm can only be entrusted to Qian Wei, the forest farm manager.

"Okay, Uncle Yang, I understand. When Uncle Qian comes back, I will let him arrange the recruitment."

Lao Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

For the next two days, Chen Mu squatted in the bluegrass cultivation field, focusing all his attention on it. During the day, he started plowing the land with the employees, sprinkling water, and sowing grass seeds. At night, he began to use the vitality value to inject vitality into the ground. , improve the soil of the nursery ground, and then use the vitality value of the bluegrass just planted during the day, so that they can grow vigorously as soon as possible.

Although it may not seem like there are many things to do, it is really busy.

Qian Wei also started recruiting workers. Because they were short-term workers, people from several nearby villages heard about it and recruited 20 people without much effort.

Once these people arrived, the forest farm employees, who had been busy since the forest farm got back on track, finally breathed a sigh of relief and could relax a little.

Three days later, Chen Mu drove to Yusen Autonomous Region alone with a trunk full of food.

I don’t know what happened this time. In the past, the custom of holding the bidding meeting in the county has changed a lot, and now it has been changed to holding the bidding meeting in the Yusen Engineering Forest.

So when I learned the address, and the things Dad Chen brought there last time were particularly popular with his colleagues, especially the fish, crabs, shrimps and other river seafood, they were particularly well received.

After knowing this, Chen Mu immediately decided to send some food to his father.

So this time, he came prepared with plenty of food.

Anyway, the temperature is low now, these things are durable, and there is no need to worry about damage or deterioration.

On the way, Chen Mu deliberately called his father in advance to tell him the good news, so as not to worry about the fact that he had arrived but his father had gone to the engineering forest to plant trees for maintenance.

It’s not like he’s just a pounce!

"Hey, Dad, I'm driving to your place today, why don't you go to the engineering forest?!"

Father Chen, who was planting trees, stopped in confusion, put down his shovel, and went to sit aside to rest and drink water.

"You're fine, why did you come to my place suddenly?"

Chen Mu said proudly: "Haha, I'm going to participate in the bidding for your second phase project forest this time."

"Bidding?" Father Chen was even more puzzled: "Isn't your forest farm just a small forest farm, how can it be qualified to participate in the bidding?"

Even though Father Chen is just a desert control person, he knows a lot about forestry-related things.

So naturally I know that based on the achievements of my son, it is 100% impossible to be qualified to participate in the bidding.

Chen Mu smiled even more proudly: "Dad, do you know that a forestry farm recently signed two foreign exchange orders using bluegrass? That is the Sanmu Forestry Farm run by your son and me."

I never told my family before, just for this moment.

My father has always been worried that his forest farm has no obvious way to make money.

"Ah!" Father Chen was shocked.

Because the newspaper focused on describing the orders and only briefly mentioned the name of the forest farm, when he read it, he really didn't expect that it was his son's forest farm.
