Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 245 5S Oil Squeezing Method

Laixi is located in the middle of Shandong Province, more than 100 kilometers away from Zhucheng. There is no expressway now. Wang Shibin drove them out in the morning and arrived in Laiyang at noon.

Why go to Laixi first to Laiyang?First of all, they have no acquaintances in Laixi, and they can't find a way to dig people; secondly, Laixi and Laiyang were originally a county, and they were separated in the 60s. , can be reached in ten minutes by car, it can almost be regarded as a place.

When I arrived in Laiyang, I went straight to the Corn Research Institute to find Li Denghai, and asked him to help introduce the situation here. Although Li Denghai is engaged in corn research, he is not unfamiliar with the peanut industry, so he told Li Lei an absolutely suitable candidate. , "You want to open an oil extraction factory? Then go to Sun Mengquan! If he agrees to be the director of the factory, you don't have to worry about the rest!"

"Who is this Sun Mengquan? So powerful?" Li Xinwang still doesn't know who this person is, but Li Lei is very clear. Isn't this the chairman of Luhua, who can create such a large edible oil company single-handedly? Ability is naturally needless to say.

It was a coincidence that Li Lei originally wanted to invest in Luhua, but he didn't know how to do so. Now that Li Denghai helped introduce him, it would be much more convenient.

Li Denghai introduced Sun Mengquan's situation, "Sun Mengquan is like me, his family is not very good, but he is luckier than me, and he finished high school; at that time, high school students were already very great, so after graduation, he was assigned to Jiangtuan Town Work at the material station, mainly responsible for purchasing corn and peanuts."

"We met at that time. I went there to guide local farmers in planting improved varieties of corn. He was responsible for purchasing the corn, and it would be ripe after one or two visits. In the 80s, he had already become the station master of the material station, but the material It's hard to stand up."

"So he thought of a way to use the advantages of local products to do a good job in the agricultural product business. He is familiar with the market and has a good relationship with the local people. Everyone is willing to sell him corn and peanuts. The business of going to the material station will be fine, but He wasn't satisfied with that."

"I feel that agricultural products are seasonal crops, and the income of material stations in low and peak seasons is obviously different, so I decided to enter the deep processing industry of agricultural products. Both Laiyang and Laixi grow peanuts, and the history of extracting peanut oil is very long, so he focused on it. In this business, in 86, the Luhua Oil Press Factory was established to produce peanut oil.”

"How is the development of this factory now?" Li Xinwang continued to ask, and at the same time he was very strange, "He already has his own oil extraction factory, and he is willing to come and help us?"

Li Denghai immediately dispelled his doubts, "If it were put on the directors of other oil mills who just want to earn a little money, they would definitely not agree; but Sun Mengquan is not necessarily the case. He has opened oil mills these years. I made some money, but spent more, and most of the profits from selling peanut oil were spent on research and development.”

"After spending five years of money, there is still no hope of success, so he is under a lot of pressure. If you can give them some financial and technical support, then there is still great hope of reaching a cooperation with him; Let me tell you that if you want to open an oil extraction plant, going to Zhucheng is really not as good as coming to our Laiyang, although Zhucheng also has peanuts, but the output and quality are far behind Laixi and Laiyang!"

"When the time comes, if you can reach a cooperation, you can treat the Zhucheng Oil Press Factory as a branch factory. Sun Mengquan has a lot of experienced people in the factory. Just a few people can be arranged to support the factory."

"Isn't it true that Zhucheng's policy is more open than Laixi and Laiyang? I think it will be difficult to buy an oil mill in Laiyang?" Li Lei said with a smile. Li Denghai's plan is quite in his mind, but You can't hand over all the factories to Sun Mengquan, you have to arrange some capable people yourself. This is something that must be done from the perspective of management.

"That's true. Hey, the procedures for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have not yet been completed. The work efficiency here is really incomparable with that of the southern coastal cities!" Li Lei's words reminded Li Denghai of the corn research institute. I persuaded the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to cooperate with Li Lei, but the various procedures were extremely cumbersome, and it took me a long time to complete them.

"It's coming soon. I have been watching this matter. Last time I met with the leaders of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and donated a few imported equipment to the academy. They immediately promised to speed up the work efficiency and put the cooperation between our two companies together as soon as possible. The matter has been approved!" Li Xinwang interjected, after he arrived in Shandong, besides preparing to build a breeding farm and a feed factory, he was also responsible for running various procedures, so he knew the progress of the matter best.

"That's good! I've been looking forward to it for a long time." When he heard that the process was about to be completed, Li Denghai heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to be distracted by business and administrative affairs, so he waited for Li Lei to send Come to have competent people to help him share these troubles, and Li Lei also promised to provide him with research and development funds and imported equipment. With these, the breeding efficiency will definitely increase a lot.

"How about this, Mr. Li, please help me make an appointment with Director Sun. Let's meet and chat first to see what's going on with him. It would be best if we can cooperate. If we can't, we can make more friends! "Li Lei is very anxious. Arowana will be born next year. If the layout of the edible oil field is not completed, it will be too late.

"Okay, I'll call now!" Li Denghai picked up the phone in front of the two of them and called Sun Mengquan, and in a few words, he decided on a time to meet.

When the appointed time came, the three of them went to the Jiaodong restaurant near the Corn Research Institute to wait. There are three major factions of Shandong cuisine: Jinan cuisine, Confucian cuisine and Jiaodong cuisine. Laiyang is close to Qingdao and is most influenced by Jiaodong cuisine. There are better restaurants in the area. Most of them focus on Jiaodong cuisine.

After Sun Mengquan arrived, Li Denghai introduced them to each other, and then began to order dishes. The representative dishes of Jiaodong cuisine, such as yellow vegetables, snowflake balls, pork ribs, shrimp roe and sea cucumber, and prawns with fried cabbage, must be available. The wine is also local. The famous Tsingtao beer.

Sun Mengquan is just in his early [-]s this year. He is in the prime of life, and he behaves like the legendary Shandong hero. "Gang Denghai said that he would introduce some friends to me, but I am still guessing who they are. I didn’t expect it to be Huinong’s Boss Li, Boss Li, I’ve heard of your name a long time ago! Especially in the battle between Sichuan United Hope and Zhengda, it was really beautiful!”

"Over the past few years, more and more foreign companies have come in. When our domestic companies encounter them, they are often defeated. It is really amazing that you can force Zhengda to sign the alliance under the city. I have to respect you for this alone. A glass!" Sun Mengquan gave a thumbs up with his left hand, and picked up the wine glass with his right hand.

After a glass of wine, Li Lei took advantage of this topic to chat with Sun Mengquan, "I just heard Mr. Li talk about Sun Mengquan's deeds and I admire you very much! Laiyang is such a good place, if you just want to earn some money, then It’s too easy, more peanuts are charged and more oil is extracted, and now the common people have more money in their pockets, and they are willing to use oil for cooking, as long as they can extract oil, they are not afraid that they will not be able to make money!”

"However, Director Sun didn't think about making quick money. He used the profits to expand the factory and buy peanuts, but spent it on technology research and development. Nowadays, there are not many people who have this vision and courage! They just think about expanding The scale can definitely make money, but not for a long time!"

"Foreign companies are not only focusing on the feed industry, they are also involved in the edible oil industry. Three years ago, Yihai Kerry built a modern edible oil production plant in Chiwan Port, Shekou, Special Economic Zone. Their technology is more advanced than the local state-owned oil factory. There are a lot of land, and most of the cooking oil in the Special Economic Zone is the product of Yihai Kerry!"

"What kind of company is this Yihai Kerry? Where is their factory advanced?" Sun Mengquan asked. Yihai Kerry will become a shareholder of Luhua in the future, but he has not heard the name of this company yet.

"The boss of Yihai Kerry is the richest man in Malaysia, Kuok Henian. He owns a large number of plantations and sugar mills in Malaysia, and controls 20.00% of the international sugar market, so he has the nickname 'Asian Sugar King'; he and us The relationship between the country’s leaders is also very good. Before the reform and opening up, he secretly provided us with a large amount of white sugar. A few years ago, the capital wanted to build the International Trade Building and had no money, so he just took [-] million yuan to build it. This project! Comrade Xixian will meet him when he goes to the capital!"

"As for the technology of this factory, it is indeed much ahead of ours. The equipment is the most advanced in Europe and the United States." Li Lei said a few pieces of equipment, and Sun Mengquan was envious. No money to buy it.

"It's really amazing. Fortunately, they only open factories in the Special Economic Zone. If they come to Shandong, the local oil mills will definitely lose a lot!" Sun Mengquan couldn't help but feel lucky. There are also behemoths with connections, no matter where you go, it is bad news for your local colleagues.

"Hurry up, Yihai Kerry has established a firm foothold in the south, and the next step is to enter the northern market! Our Shandong is rich in peanuts and has a long history of extracting peanut oil. They will definitely not let go of this opportunity! So in the next few years, Shandong The life of the oil mill must be difficult!" Li Lei continued.

His words put more and more pressure on Sun Mengquan. Now that Luhua's technology research and development has not been successful, and it will soon face such a terrible competitor, can Luhua survive?
"Boss Li, what do you think our peanut oil production enterprises in Shandong should do?" Sun Mengquan humbly asked for advice. Although the person in front of him is ten years younger than him, his business is much bigger than his own, and he is also a director of the National Association of Township Enterprises. , his vision and knowledge are much better than his own, so it is not shameful to ask him for advice.

"It's nothing more than two ways. Either a number of companies will join forces and use the advantages of scale and familiarity with the local area to resist the attack of Yihai Kerry; or work hard on technology to make better cooking oil than Yihai Kerry; If you can’t do it, you can only make a living in the low-end market that Yihai Kerry doesn’t want!”

At this time, the dishes have already been served, and the chef's craftsmanship is very exquisite, and the dishes cooked are full of color, fragrance, and taste, but Sun Mengquan has completely lost the thought of tasting at this time, and his mind is full of Li Lei's words just now. Haijiali has completed the research and development of new technologies before, and Luhua may not be able to compete with Yihaijiali at all.

"Hey, the oily fume is really big enough, we can still smell the oily fume from the kitchen when we are sitting in the box!" Li Lei stretched out his hand and fanned it, this smell really affected the dining experience too much.

"No way, the local restaurants basically use peanut oil, no matter which factory produces peanut oil, they all have this problem. When cooking, there will be oily smoke, which is too big!" Li Denghai explained.

"This is because the phospholipid content in peanut oil is high, and it will smoke and foam when it encounters high temperature. As long as you find a way to reduce the content of phospholipid, the peanut oil can maintain the original fragrance and not smoke when cooking! "Li Lei followed Li Denghai's words.

These words immediately caught Sun Mengquan's attention. He has been studying this problem for several years, but he still hasn't found a solution. Could it be that the person in front of him can solve it?So he quickly asked, "Then how to reduce the content of phospholipids?"

"It's not difficult at all. Put peanut crude oil into the filter, press filter and then introduce it into the cooling oil tank and stir it with the agitator. When the oil temperature drops to a certain level, add filter aid, adjust the speed of the agitator, and continue to cool down to a certain level. , and then let it stand for a period of time, and then filter it with a filter press." Li Lei said directly.

This method is not afraid of people knowing, because the key point has not been mentioned yet. What type of filter and filter press are used?What time and speed is the mixer stirring?Which filter aid to choose?At what temperature and for how long?If these details are not clarified, it may be useless to just know them, and these details are the secrets of the oil mill, and no company will leak them at all.

"Boss Li also has research on these technologies?" Sun Mengquan felt as if 25 rats had landed in his heart. It was a lot of claws scratching his heart, and he wished to tie Li Lei up and press him for these details.

"I bought an oil extraction factory in Zhucheng, and I plan to use new technology to produce peanut oil. When it is on the right track there, I will open one in Laixi. There are more peanuts here than in Zhucheng, so it is more suitable for an oil extraction factory!" Li Lei said lightly.

This is really a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back. The life of the oil mills in Laixi and Laiyang is really going to be hard, and Sun Mengquan becomes more and more nervous.

And Li Lei continued to tell Li Denghai about his new technology, "Let's not talk about the indigenous methods used by those small oil mills, the efficiency is too low to be suitable for large-scale production; the leaching method used by large factories has greatly damaged the nutrients in the oil. , the oil produced is not fragrant, and ordinary people don’t like to eat it, so I plan to use the physical oil extraction method; pure physical extraction technology replaces chemical leaching, which can avoid the pollution of oil products by high-temperature refining and chemical solvents.”

Sun Mengquan was fascinated by what he heard, it seemed to be the same as the 5S oil extraction method he thought.
