Chapter 2214 Secondary Industry

"Boss Fu, you came all the way here, aren't you just here for our real estate development?"

Fu Chun smiled when he heard what Zhao Shucheng said, and said: "Of course not, I am here to learn from Mr. Lei. After all, the development of your Lei family has always been a model for many companies to learn from."

Zhao Shucheng laughed after hearing this and said, "Boss Fu, you are flattering me. Your Huachang has done well. From a small enterprise at the beginning, it has gradually developed into a consortium of multiple enterprises."

"There is still some gap between me and you. I came here sincerely to seek advice. I hope Mr. Lei will not hesitate to give me some advice."

Zhao Shucheng saw Fu Chun's serious look, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, but what I said are all my own opinions. If there is anything wrong, please don't mind, Mr. Fu."

"It doesn't matter, let's just discuss it with each other."

After Fu Chun sat down and took a sip of tea, he said, "Boss Lei, I came here because I really have some doubts. As the company grows, I have encountered many problems, but I don't know who to ask for advice. You are also a pioneer of reform, so I would like to ask for your opinion."

"What aspect?"

"that is……"

Zhao Shucheng was not surprised to hear the other party's question. In fact, this is a problem that many companies will encounter, but it is more serious in state-owned enterprises. The situation he encountered was actually encountered by Song Yunhui, that is, fighting for power and profit, and even directly intervening in the operation of the enterprise, making it impossible for managers to devote themselves to their work.

Of course, there are some interest issues involved. After all, before the reform of state-owned enterprises, most employees received fixed salaries. However, when faced with the hundreds of millions of profits generated, few people would not be tempted.

Zhao Shucheng only mentioned it briefly. After all, it was not a wise thing to interfere with Fu Chun's Huachang Group. Especially since this company was still a star company in Hai City, a company that everyone paid close attention to. If there was any disturbance, it would make interested parties very sensitive.

This time, when Fu Chun was chatting, he suddenly received a call. His face suddenly became ugly and he said, "What do you mean the person is missing? Where's the money? 150 million, just gone like that? OK, I'll be back right away!"

After Fu Chun hung up the phone, he smiled at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Boss Lei, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to deal with."

"It's okay, go ahead and do your work, we'll get together again when we have time."

After Fu Chun left, I remembered that this was also the beginning of the crisis encountered by Huachang in the original plot. The other party invested in Sichuan, but unexpectedly was defrauded of 150 million yuan, which directly caused Huachang to suffer serious damage and its capital chain began to become tight.

However, Zhao Shucheng did not say anything about helping, because Huachang is still a large family with a lot of business, and with a little support, they can get through this difficult time. Fu Chun did not think of it as a big deal, but unfortunately he did not know that all this was part of the plan of someone with ulterior motives.

After Zhao Shucheng finished dealing with the affairs in Hai City, he left Shi Hongwei here to take charge of the next work, and he took a train from Nanning to return to Xiao Lei's home.

When he was on the train, listening to the train conductor shouting peanuts, melon seeds, mineral water, and instant noodles, Zhao Shucheng almost thought he had arrived two thousand years later. When he saw the instant noodles, Zhao Shucheng's eyes lit up and he thought this was actually a good business that would make money for a long time in the future, but it just needed the right business philosophy and a qualified management team.

In fact, Zhao Shucheng had thought of letting the village do such a business, but he quickly gave up the idea. The reason is very simple, that is, because the domestic competition is too fierce. After 1987, there were thousands of instant noodle production lines across the country, and later foreign-funded enterprises also began to build factories in China.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Shucheng did not choose to do so was not because of competition, but because the previous grain and oil policy was still in the planned economy stage. All grain and oil used in production required grain coupons and stamps, and it was precisely this point that limited the production scale of instant noodle companies, so they could only stay in the local area and had no way to open up markets outside the province.

But Zhao Shucheng knew very well that a certain master had started to build factories in the mainland this year, and would continue to be a leading enterprise in the instant noodle industry in the future. If Zhao Shucheng chose to let Xiao Lei's company get involved at this time, it would actually be the best time.

After all, Zhao Shucheng has more information than other companies, knows how big this market is, and even understands the tastes and development paths of future generations, so he can definitely seize the initiative.

Of course, the reason for supporting Zhao Shucheng to do so is more importantly for the needs of trade in the north. Since the disintegration of the north last year, although Zhao Shucheng and his trade has not ended, their trading partners can no longer provide too many products, and even cars, motorcycles and other products have begun to be in short supply. After all, their competitors have changed from the initial dealers to all walks of life.

Zhao Shucheng naturally couldn't exchange light industrial products for arms, so after much calculation, Zhao Shucheng could only reach an agreement with his partners to exchange light industrial products for agricultural products. He asked the other party to provide arable land near Vladivostok, and he found someone to carry out mechanized planting on a large farm. Part of the food produced was exchanged for supplies in Vladivostok, and part was directly shipped to Xiao Lei's home on Zhao Shucheng's cargo ship.

But this brought another problem, that is, how to deal with this batch of grain. At first, they transported it directly to the grain depot and sold it directly, but it was soon rejected. Because Zhao Shucheng's grain was imported, such grain did not meet the grain depot's storage standards. But seeing the grain piled up like this, Zhao Shucheng felt a little distressed.

Although Xiao Lei's family contacted many shopping malls to sell grain, the grain kept piling up, and finally the grain warehouse built by Xiao Lei's family was unable to hold enough food.

Since there is no need to worry about the food problem now, we can just process the food directly. On the one hand, it can digest the inventory, on the other hand, it can open up new sources of income for Xiao Lei's family, and the by-product of the production, wheat bran, can be sent to the farm to be used as feed for livestock.

After Zhao Shucheng returned to Xiao Lei's house and expressed his thoughts, the villagers were not as excited as they had imagined. In fact, it is understandable if you think about it. Many people are content with a small fortune. Now that Xiao Lei's family lives so well, they no longer have the fighting spirit to fill their stomachs.

Seeing that the villagers were so unenthusiastic, Zhao Shucheng didn't say anything and directly signed a cooperation agreement with the group company. Xiao Leijia Group provided food as a condition for investment. Zhao Shucheng invested his own money to build an instant noodle factory and started production directly in Jinzhou, transporting materials to various cities in the province more quickly, and even transporting them to other provinces for sale by rail.

Because there was an instant noodle manufacturer in Jinzhou, Zhao Shucheng directly spent money to acquire the company, and then expanded the production scale, and directly advertised on local TV stations to quickly expand the production scale. Zhao Shucheng, like a certain master, had his eyes on the middle price of the instant noodle market. At that time, there were cheap instant noodles in the market that cost a few cents per pack, and there were also imported instant noodles that cost three or five yuan, but there was a market gap in the range of one to three yuan.

Zhao Shucheng naturally couldn't let a chef monopolize the opportunity, so he directly promoted his own products on TV and even launched his own sauce packs. After all, in the previous market, most brands only had seasoning packs, but no sauce packs. With the sauce packs, the price was within the acceptable range of others, so sales quickly opened up.

Because the instant noodle factory was established in Jinzhou, Song Yunping felt that it was her family's business, so she had to leave her job at Xiao Lei's farm and woolen mill and follow Zhao Shucheng to live in Jinzhou.

When the instant noodle factory advertised vigorously and even a lot of revenue went into Zhao Shucheng's pocket, the villagers were envious and jealous. Some people thought that Zhao Shucheng was taking advantage of the public, so they directly reported Zhao Shucheng for misappropriating collective property.

Chen Pingyuan of Jinling County naturally organized an investigation team immediately, but because they were in Jinzhou, they could only contact the local departments in Jinzhou to assist in the investigation. Now it is different from before, when an investigation team can take Zhao Shucheng away directly, so they can only investigate relevant information within the company.

Zhao Shucheng was well prepared for this. He took out the signed contract and the share distribution plan, leaving everyone speechless.

In fact, Zhao Shucheng knew what the people who reported him were thinking. They were just jealous of Zhao Shucheng's money, and much more than them. However, Zhao Shucheng did not intend to sell the instant noodle factory directly to Xiao Lei's Group. He just wanted to use this incident to warn the villagers.

In fact, Song Yunping was a little nervous when she saw that the instant noodle factory produced so much every day and sold them out very quickly, with a profit of several million per month, and she wondered if they were making too much money.

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help laughing after hearing this and said, "We're just getting started. Everything has just begun. Besides, this money is not only ours, but half of it belongs to the Xiaolei Group."

"That's a lot!"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "No, Pingping, have you forgotten that our family is already very rich?"

"Of course I know that, but that money is different from the money now. It was earned one by one, and it is visible and tangible. How can it be the same?"

"Don't worry, our family will never be short of money, so is there something we should put on the agenda?"

Song Yunping was stunned for a moment after hearing this and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Don't you think Shouzheng is a little too lonely now that he's the only child? Should we give him a brother or sister?"

Song Yunping blushed and said, "No, you forgot that the policy does not allow it. You can only have one child."

"What's the big deal? It's just a fine. We can afford it now."

"That won't work either. If you really want one, let someone else give birth to it for you. I don't want it."

Seeing Song Yunping's resistance, Zhao Shucheng stopped talking. She just let everything take its course. If she got pregnant, she wouldn't have the heart to abort the baby. Besides, Song Yunping was right. She should give Dai Jiaofeng a child so that she wouldn't have other ideas.

Just when Zhao Shucheng was busy with the instant noodle factory, Director Li from the steel plant found Zhao Shucheng.

"Director Li, why are you here? What trouble is there at the steel plant?"

Director Li smiled and said, "No, it's not a problem. It's a happy problem. The steel plant's production scale can't keep up. Every day, the manufacturers who come to the steel plant to purchase goods have to surround our sales department. I'm thinking of discussing with you whether we should expand the production scale from the previous two million tons to five million tons."

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Li, what is the current price of steel?"

Director Li smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's very good. Let's not talk about the past few years. At the beginning of 1600, the price was yuan per ton. Now the price has started to rise, and it changes every day. I think it should double by the end of the year."

Zhao Shucheng thought about it and said, "We can expand the scale of production. After all, our country has gone from being poor a few years ago to the development of various industries and construction industries now. The demand for steel is gradually increasing, and prices will not fall sharply in the short term. But I also have a request. The new workshop will no longer produce the previous steel bars, nor will it produce products such as rebar and H-steel."

Director Li said anxiously, "What should we produce? We can't produce tinplate, right? That's not worth much, and it would waste such a good opportunity."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Director Li, we can't just look at the present and ignore the situation behind. We can see the rising demand for steel that I just mentioned, and other companies can naturally see it too. Private steel companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they basically produce things like rebar or rebar. But we can't help but prepare for a rainy day. When the market supply exceeds demand, steel prices will inevitably fall."

"The reason why our steel plant has been able to develop smoothly is that we import iron ore from abroad. The production cost is a little lower than that of other enterprises, but the settlement was previously settled in RMB. In fact, our Xiaolei family used our own foreign exchange to subsidize production before, but this situation cannot continue, especially after the company expands production, more iron ore is needed, which is no longer affordable for Xiaolei family alone."

"So my idea is that we produce special steel, which is many times more expensive than ordinary steel, and is in great demand overseas. We can expand overseas markets, earn foreign exchange, and use the steel mill's own foreign exchange to buy minerals, thus achieving self-sufficiency and no longer relying on external funds."

Director Li blushed when he heard what Zhao Shucheng said. In fact, he knew that although the steel plant had developed very well in recent years, it was more dependent on Xiao Lei's family. Otherwise, the iron ore alone would have made the steel plant very embarrassed. So when faced with Zhao Shucheng's request, it was difficult for him to refuse.
