Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 365

"Dr. Li's words are clear, and he pointed out the most critical part of our catering industry!" The questioner's eyes lit up, "It's not difficult to open a good restaurant, as long as you find the right chef, and then give it to us." It is enough for the waiters to do a good job of training! The second and third ones are not too difficult, just copy it in the same way, but it will not work when there are ten or twenty. Procurement, management, capital chain There are problems everywhere, and the most troublesome one is quality control. It is really difficult to find ten or twenty high-level chefs who are willing to stay with you forever! Our family suffered too much from this. Already!"

"It's no problem to change it to a hot pot restaurant. The bottom material is boiled in a unified way, the procurement is stricter, and the training is a little bit better. It is basically the same!" These are actually quite difficult to explain in detail, but it depends on who you are looking for. He said that it is much easier for a veteran like his family who has worked in the catering industry for many years to do this than Li Lei.

The most important thing is to get rid of the constraints of chefs, not only can you save a lot of salary - the market price of good chefs is not low, not only high wages, but also dividends - and greatly reduce the difficulty of opening chain stores, "Love in a Courtyard" Here, the second child of the Yan family’s restaurant business plummeted after opening Shazhu, but this is the reason why the hot pot restaurant became popular again immediately, and this is also the key reason for Haidilao’s success in the future.

"When I go back, I will eat all the local hot pot restaurants that are doing well, and then I will go to Chongqing to inspect Little Swan, and strive to open the hot pot restaurant as soon as possible! I dare not say anything else, beef, mutton, chicken, pork, eggs, etc. Huinong is here to buy." He has already begun to fantasize about the scene of his own hot pot restaurant opening all over the country, and he is not afraid of other colleagues hearing about it, because among this wave of Haidong businessmen, his family has experience in the catering industry, and others are not. It's not that easy to copy.

As for the purchase from Huinong, it is not purely to thank Li Lei. There are only a few companies in the market that can provide these products in large quantities and with stable quality for a long time. Huinong is the largest one of them. Purchase from here It can also save them a lot of effort, at least they don't need to watch the purchase every day, and they don't need to worry about the quality of pork, mutton and chicken at any time.

"Then I wish Mr. Huang a prosperous business. When it opens, I will try it if I meet him!" Li Lei congratulated him in advance, and at the same time, he thought that if he really did well, he could also get a share. After all, Swan's development is limited. Haidilao and Little Sheep haven't come out yet. Even if he wants to invest in the chain restaurant industry, he doesn't have a good choice for a while. He can't invest in Red Sorghum, right?

"Thank you very much. When Director Li comes to Haidong, you must inform me. No matter where I am, I will rush back to receive you as soon as possible!" Mr. Bai sincerely thanked him, and he found it for him with a few casual words. Can't be too grateful for the direction of future development.

How is this the richest man in the country? He is simply the God of Wealth. A few words can turn stone into gold. They found a good project, "I don't know if you have heard of artichokes as a vegetable? It is also called French lily in some places!"

"I know this. The western restaurant in my hotel has made this dish for a while, and the price is not cheap, but does it taste like this?" Boss Bai shook his head, "The locals are not used to it, but foreigners like it. Yes, what kind of king of vegetables is this?"

"Artichokes are indeed very popular in Europe. The local price is about 40 yuan per catty in RMB. The market demand is huge. However, due to the special growth environment of artichokes, Europe needs to import a large amount every year! During this period of time I learned about the situation in Xiatiannan Province, and found that some places are very suitable for growing this kind of vegetable!" Li Lei started popularizing science for them.

Artichokes like to grow in loamy, sandy loam soil that is loose, fertile, and easy to drain and irrigate. There are many such lands in Tiannan Province. The climate should not be too cold. Some places in Tiannan Province are also suitable. Thistle plantation is specially used for export to the European Union; if such a business is done, it can really flow for a long time, and at the same time help local people increase their income.

"If done well, one mu of land can produce 10 to [-] catties of artichokes, which is an income of about [-] yuan. After excluding the cost of planting and transportation, you can earn a lot of money every year! You Haidong There are ports, and there are many people engaged in foreign trade, so it is quite suitable to do this!" For this project, Huinong can do it or not. Anyway, there is no slaughterhouse to make money, so I gave it to them. If someone does it, let him do it. If no one does it, Huinong will do it himself.

"Contract land to grow vegetables and then export? Is this project okay? Director Li, if Hui Nong plans to do it, can I take a stake?" Someone immediately asked, although it sounds like this project is very reliable, but if Huinong doesn't take the lead They are always worried.

"It's definitely okay to invest in shares." Li Lei continued to tell them about the difficulties of this business. Artichokes are also high-end vegetables in Europe, so quality control must be well grasped, and the use of chemical fertilizers must be very cautious during the planting process, and cheap chemical fertilizers should not be used. , more advanced slow-release fertilizers must be used, and there are also detailed regulations on the use of pesticides. Only when these requirements are met can they enter the European market.

Just now, the restrictions on chemical fertilizers are about to be loosened. Jiao Gaoliang has returned to China now and is planning to build a special slow-release fertilizer factory. If this artichoke export base is established, the first batch of products in the factory will not worry about selling. It starts with crops with relatively high added value, and then spreads to crops with larger planting areas such as rice, corn, wheat, soybeans, and peanuts.

Li Lei also informed them of the various costs of this project, from breeding, planting, fertilization to harvesting, packaging, and transportation. The production cost is indeed much higher than that of ordinary vegetables, but considering the price of 40 yuan per catty, You can still make money, so it's not a Haidong businessman who wants to take a stake.

"Everyone's feelings are understandable, but to do business, you have to understand the situation first. You can confirm what I said through your own channels. Anyway, this year's artichoke planting season has passed. Even if you need to level the land first, you have to do it two months in advance. It’s enough, and it’s not too late to make a decision after everyone understands the situation!” Artichokes are usually sown and bred in mid-to-late September, and then transplanted from late October to early November. Exported, but not in a hurry.

The more Li Lei said so, the more they believed. When they encountered other projects, they always urged them to pay the money. Now that Li Lei insisted on asking them to think about it for a while, it showed that this project was really reliable!If you really believe him, go back to find out the situation before coming here, there must be no places for you!

So these people are still chasing Li Lei for investment, Li Lei is helpless and can only shirk, "I have been out for a while this time, and I have accumulated a lot of work, so I have to go back to Heyang to deal with it immediately. This project is the fastest. We have to wait until next month to start; you have to go back to Haidong early to deal with the work at hand, right? So let’s do this this time, and we’ll come to Tiannan to discuss this project next month!"

This made them stop for a while, and then Li Lei returned to Heyang, spent a few days with his family to relax, and then went back to work and started to deal with Huinong's daily affairs; during this time, Huinong acquired many There are fewer enterprises and many new factories have been built. The expansion speed is much faster than the previous two years. There were also some minor problems during the period, but they are still within the control range. Li Lei will not slow down the expansion speed because of this. There are not many opportunities to go down the mountain to pick peaches. If you miss this time, you will never know when it will be next time. You must seize this opportunity to lay the foundation for Huinong's development in the next ten years.

Hope and Zhengda, the two largest competitors in the feed industry, are doing the same thing. Liu Yonghao is more and more eager to go public. Hope’s financial strength is still not comparable to Huinong and Zhengda, so the speed of acquiring companies is also slower than them. Much more, and if it can be successfully listed, it can collect money from the stock market to increase the speed of acquisitions, and slightly slow down the speed of being thrown away by Huinong and Zhengda.

As for Zhengda, they are not short of money at all. Now is the time when Southeast Asia's economy is booming, and their capital reserves are getting stronger and stronger. It's just that they didn't expect that Soros has already targeted them!The more companies they acquire now, the more difficult it will be next year. At that time, Huinong can buy companies from them at a lower price, and Chia Tai has to thank Huinong, because money is the most important thing at this time.

Within a few days, Wang Guangxing from the Coconut Tree called again, urging him to ask about Huinong’s investment in shares. Li Lei felt that it was almost time to ask for instructions. The leader was very satisfied with Huinong’s recent cooperation with COFCO, so he gave a call. He made a breakthrough and agreed to Hui Nong's investment in Coconut Tree, and now he can get things done without pulling COFCO.

Wang Guangxing was left alone for a while, and when he called again to inquire, Li Lei finally told him the good news. Wang Guangxing immediately invited Li Lei to go to Hainan for a detailed discussion, "Dong Li, you and the leaders of Hainan are welcome. Come here early; alas, this matter has been dragged on for so long, and it finally has a result!"

"I've also been looking forward to it for a long time. Coconut tree and Panpan almond milk will join forces. Since then, the domestic vegetable protein drink is our world! I'll ask someone to book a flight ticket, and try to make this matter as soon as possible! "Li Lei is also happy. This is a segmented field. In the future, Yangyuan, Coconut Tree, Vita, Yinlu, Lulu and Dali will fight. Now Huinong first produces Panpan Almond Dew and steals Chengdelu. Given the opportunity, and now that he has acquired the shares of Coconut Tree, Huinong may be able to occupy half of the country in the future.

The plane landed at Haikou Dayingshan Airport. The Meilan Airport that everyone will be familiar with in the future has just passed the approval of the State Planning Commission and has not even started construction!

The reception standard this time was also very high. Not only did Wang Guangxing bring his two golden partners, but the province and city also sent heavyweight leaders to welcome Li Lei in person, and the accommodation was also arranged in a hotel specially for big leaders. , are usually not open to the public.

Needless to say, the banquet in the evening was of high standard and a lot of delicious food, but Li Lei devoted most of his energy to entertaining, and really didn't have the time to savor the beauty of these delicacies; Ke Lanting came to him to clink glasses At that time, Li Lei didn't forget his painting, and he praised it so much that Ke Lanting was so happy that he couldn't find the north.

The next day, representatives from all parties gathered together to formally discuss Huinong's shareholding in Coconut Tree. Wang Guangxing had already done this with the province and city in advance. Their demands were the same. But the shares cannot be given too much. Wang Guangxing's reason is to guarantee the government's controlling stake, but in fact he wants to dance on the three eggs of the government, workers, and Huinong, and take the control of the good father coconut tree into his own hands.

"We very much welcome Huinong, a leading company in the country, to invest in Hainan." At the beginning of the meeting, the leaders said a lot of stereotypes in accordance with the usual practice. Investing in many places, Huinong signed several big deals in Tiannan some time ago, and they were very envious.

Then Wang Guangxing made a speech, "Huinong is the big brother in the domestic food and beverage field. We are also very honored to have the opportunity to learn from the big brother. Coconut Tree will definitely study hard and strive to make Coconut Tree a golden signboard in Hainan. higher."

When Li Lei spoke, he responded with the same routine. First of all, I would like to thank the leaders for their care and love. Hainan is a good place. I am very happy to have the opportunity to invest here. Coconut Tree is also a good company. Under the leadership of Wang Guangxing, it has made great achievements. Good grades blah blah blah.

These words sound boring and boring, but they are necessary. After the three parties expressed their respective attitudes, the negotiation proceeded to the formal stage. The government leaders and Wang Guangxing took out a list together and took a detailed inventory of the existing resources of the coconut tree. , convert it into an amount, and then give the share of Huinong's shareholding—30.00% of the shares. This ratio is also carefully designed. If it is too little, Huinong will not agree, but if it exceeds 30.00%. Four, Huinong With the veto, they can interfere more deeply in the coconut tree, which they do not want to see.

After finishing speaking, the leader said politely, "Of course, this is only our preliminary plan. If Huinong can offer better conditions, this ratio is not unnegotiable."

This is just polite, they have already estimated in advance, even if they want to replace the production line and sell 30.00% of the shares, it is enough, no matter how good Huinong offers, they will insist on this share.

However, one sentence from Li Lei made the leaders change their minds, "Leaders, and Mr. Wang, we do have some ideas. The biggest advantage of coconut trees lies in the rich coconut tree resources in HAN Province, but only relying on the existing coconut forests, there is no There is no way to quickly expand the scale, so we Huinong formulated a plan of 'million acres of coconut forest'."
