Cold chain for 20 years

Chapter 143

For more than half a year, Tongxing has witnessed the rapid development of the cold chain logistics industry with its own development trend. New cold chain enterprises, expanded bases and parks are emerging all over the country.At present and even in the near future, they will all become radiation points one by one, forming a large national network between points.

Tongxing's business framework has also gradually matured. Hu Shutong takes hoarding as its basic business, and walks on two legs, distribution and processing, covering four major categories: vegetables, aquatic products, pork, and fruits.It took two years to grow from large-scale planting and breeding bases, first-line farmers' markets, to private entrepreneurs, and large industry enterprises. Tongxing has not only reliable supply, but also a solid customer base.

Until then, it can be said that a stable Tongxing was born.

This will be a clear scale in Hu Shutong's entrepreneurial experience.

At the same time, Hu Shutong began to adjust the internal operation system. In the past, there were many overlapping departments. For example, warehousing involved distribution, and processing also involved distribution. One thing required multiple hands.In this reorganization, Hu Shutong directly streamlined Tongxing into three departments, marketing department, processing department, and distribution department.

The marketing department is responsible for business contact, taking into account all aspects of data analysis and research. The processing department only focuses on products and technology, and does not participate in any other business. He puts warehousing under the distribution department. This is the brain, hands and legs of Tongxing.

After the release of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan at the beginning of the year, many people in the industry predicted that there would be a special field outline. As expected, in October, the "Food Industry Eleventh Five-Year Development Outline" was released.

In this compendium, food safety is mentioned many times.

The emphasis on food safety is the attention of the whole society. With the improvement of the living standards of the whole people, today's consumers have higher requirements for basic necessities of life.From the "315 Consumer Rights Day" in recent years, we can also see great changes. Food safety has been increasingly called for, and public reports and complaints have continuously become clues for the supervision and thorough investigation of law enforcement agencies.

During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, the changes in the ownership structure of enterprises in the food industry not only showed the great vitality of private enterprises, but also burst out a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises with various qualifications, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of supervision.

More importantly, the domestic food companies that are blooming everywhere have been greatly impacted by foreign-funded food companies, and they are seriously threatened without technological advantages.Moreover, many small and medium-sized enterprises have small assets, low credit ratings, and few collaterals, so it is difficult to obtain commercial financial credit support.

Specific to the inside of the enterprise, it has become a problem of survival, which has led many enterprises to speculate and make profits with various methods.

Recently, the successive poisoning incidents in the eastern coastal cities made Hu Shutong restless again.

Origin, Clenbuterol!

In the worst case, as many as 300 people were poisoned!

Essentially, Clenbuterol is a class of drugs that were first used to treat asthma.In the 80s, foreign countries began to add it to the feed, and used it in the production of mutton, chicken and pork, and experiments proved that it can inhibit animal fat production and increase the lean meat rate by about 10%.

After being valued and even touted, clenbuterol was once popular all over the world, but after entering the new century, incidents of clenbuterol continued to break out, because some components of clenbuterol would remain in animal tissues!
After eating, people will experience palpitations, chest tightness, vomiting, fatigue, and tremors in the limbs. Long-term consumption can induce malignant tumors. For example, some pigs that eat clenbuterol often die suddenly during long-distance transportation.

The Ministry of Agriculture has started the special treatment of clenbuterol and other prohibited drugs in 2005. However, in the current laws and regulations, there is no mandatory test of the content of clenbuterol before the marketing of meat products, which allows some businesses to take advantage of the loopholes. But no matter what, the bodies of ordinary people cannot be used as testing instruments!
Tracing the source of these incidents, it is not only the farmers who purchased lean meat concentrate feed, but also the middlemen who have spotted the more popular lean meat market. There are problems from production to transportation.

This matter has spread widely, from the breeding plants in various counties of Qingyan City to the major processing and distribution enterprises, all of them have accepted the test of clenbuterol without exception.

Tong Xing passed this test, but Hu Shutong couldn't let go of his burden.During the Pingchengshan incident last year, there was no pork in the whole Tongxing, but now Tongxing has both processing and distribution, which has become an inescapable link between the farm and the consumer.The earthquake of Pingcheng Mountain on the industry is still in sight, whether it is the meat industry or others, it is a shared responsibility for the glory and the loss.

People in the industry are also deeply worried about this clenbuterol incident. This is a matter for the entire industry. One family has produced clenbuterol, and every family cannot escape the test. If there is an accident, Qingyan Meat Market will be even worse.

Last time, Tong Xing was able to be a bystander outside, but this time, how could Tong Xing, who was in it, stay out of it.In fact, it is too small to be in it. Tongxing connects with national storage meat farmers, connects with its own business farms, and does e-commerce with the largest meat merchant in Qingyan. It is also a representative of processing enterprises in emerging industries.

Hu Shutong wanted to do something very much, but the lesson from the last time was still vivid in his memory, and he no longer dared to think about taking the lead.

He is no longer the person who is focused on technical equipment process specifications, even if he is red-faced and red-eyed, he still wants to tell the truth to people in the conference room, and the person who yells at people for more advanced things, and he does not think that the ideal of that industry can infect others. something.

The way of life of an enterprise is equivalent to that of a human being. It is a universal principle that it is better to say less than to say more, and it is better not to say less.

But on a quiet night, Zeng Zhaoda called, "Mr. Hu, the past will return to the past, what do you think?"

"What does Chairman Zeng mean?"

"There are some things, I hope Tongxing can make a difference."

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Hu, the Meat Association has been waiting for you for a long time."
