Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 394
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!" At night, the employees of Huinong Philippines Branch had already returned to the dormitory to go to bed. At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. The general manager Wu Mingyuan was still working overtime in the office at this time. Hearing the news, he hurriedly I called a few people to open the door, and I was shocked when I went out.
I saw a group of soldiers with live ammunition standing outside the door. Wu Mingyuan tremblingly asked them why they came, and the leading officer replied, "We are here to receive revolution fees, because we want to seize power, so we need to collect funds."
Then he asked about the identity of the other party, and the answer he got made Wu Mingyuan even more confused. This team was actually from the Philippines, so he immediately revealed his identity as a party member, and the other party's answer left him speechless, " You are actually a party member, so you should support our cause even more!"
However, the other party still gave them some face, asked them for a little less, and only charged Philippine dollars equivalent to 1 yuan and left. When Wu Mingyuan called the country to report, he couldn't laugh or cry when talking about this incident. "At first, I thought that the status of party members would be useless when I went to a private enterprise, but I didn't expect this kind of benefit! Later we inquired and found out that this place is under the management of the local government during the day and under the control of the forces at night!"
Li Lei formulated several principles for them: First, they are absolutely not allowed to participate in local internal affairs, they can deal with them in similar situations, and they can give them some money if they are forced to do so, but they must not have close relations. Contact; secondly, maintain a normal friendly relationship with the local government, do not bribe, and if you have to do it, you have to do it through an intermediary agency, and you can't directly get involved with yourself.
This is also a helpless move. The current situation is like this. If something happens, the local government and some departments can't count on it, so it can only be like this.
Fortunately, these are minor problems, and it is not troublesome to solve them. The Philippine branch is still operating smoothly. According to the specific local environment, they have formulated a strategy suitable for local development, and soon the reputation of Huinong brand feed spread throughout the country. The entire Philippines has also gained a firm foothold here.
There are also Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. Huinong also relied on similar means to gain a foothold here. In Singapore, Guo Kongfeng used his identity to help a lot. In addition, the Singapore government is relatively stable. Maturity, the branches here are the fastest growing.
Huinong even entered the Thai market, the stronghold of Chia Tai. Xie Liren once again felt emotional when he heard the news. At the beginning, he wanted to recruit Li Lei, but he didn't expect that now everyone has reached his stronghold, but he didn't have much time to entangle these things. , Now that the CP Group is being devastated by the Southeast Asian financial crisis, it is expected that Li Lei can give them more support, so on the bright side, CP Group has not resorted to too many means.
Except for Indonesia, Huinong has a layout in the whole of Southeast Asia. Some people persuaded Li Lei, saying that Indonesia has a vast land area, a large population, and the consumption of meat and eggs ranks first in Southeast Asia. This market has great potential, but Li Lei Knowing what would happen to the country next, he was unwilling to let Huinong's employees take the risk, so he rejected the plan.
Huinong's strongest feed business group entered the Southeast Asian market this time, and the breeding, chemical fertilizer, pesticide and other business groups can gradually catch up. As for instant noodles, edible oil, beverages, food and other fields, Huinong's products have long been It has been sold in Southeast Asia, and the results are not bad.
Taking advantage of the turmoil of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, Huinong officially went abroad on a large scale and began to deploy in Southeast Asia, which means that Huinong gradually began to become a real multinational enterprise. The wound began to heal slowly, and Huinong's branches in Southeast Asian countries also took advantage of this opportunity to gradually grow.
The situation in foreign countries is relatively smooth, but the country is in trouble. In January, Xiangjiang had a bird flu outbreak. 18 people were infected and 6 died of ineffective treatment. Xiangjiang suddenly fell into panic. About 130 million chickens were destroyed. Farmers Suffered huge losses; then this bird flu also spread to the country, and many farmers in the country began to have a hard time.
"The situation of our company is a little bit better now. All farms have always attached great importance to epidemic prevention, so they have not received reports of bird flu infection for the time being; however, consumers have developed a certain resistance to eating poultry products, which has led to a decline in our sales performance. Not a small decline!" Li Xinwang made a report on behalf of the breeding business group.
"It's a good job, but we must also guard against possible concealment! Therefore, the headquarters must deploy a group of people to inspect various farms! Once a problem is found, it will be dealt with seriously. At the same time, for those farms that have done a good job in epidemic prevention, Commendations and rewards must also be given!" Li Lei responded, "As for those unsalable meat and eggs, after confirming that they are not infected with the disease, they can be sent to a food processing factory to be processed into food, so that the storage time can be longer and our losses can be reduced. slightly less!"
"We're already preparing, Mr. Hou, I've worked so hard on you this time!" Li Xinwang looked at Hou Tao, the person in charge of the food business department.
"One family doesn't talk about two things. We originally needed raw materials. It is definitely more assured to use internal company than to use other channels! But there is a problem. To digest so many raw materials, we must increase production, and our current production is Following the sales plan, with so many more at once, we will definitely find ways to increase sales, but this problem cannot be solved in a short while, so there will definitely be some that will be temporarily put in the warehouse!" Hou Tao also talked about his difficulties.
Huinong's meeting atmosphere is relatively good. You can say whatever you have at the meeting. Li Lei will not be unhappy because you tell the truth. If there is a problem, everyone can find a solution together. If you don't do it well, you're going to die.
"Originally, I planned to talk about this matter later, but since you mentioned it, let's let everyone know!" Li Lei motioned the secretary to call up the file from the computer and show it to everyone on the projector, " Now Huinong is getting bigger and bigger, and the demand for warehousing and logistics is also further increasing!"
"Although there was coordination at the headquarters before, it was not enough, so I decided to spend some time integrating the group's existing warehousing and logistics resources, and set up a special business department to take charge of this work." What kind of status will it be, so start preparing now.
"For the time being, I will personally catch this department, and Xiao Liu will assist me. At the same time, headhunting companies will be invited to recruit people from foreign companies and state-owned enterprises. If you have suitable talents, you can also recommend them to me! Xiao Liu, this is your first time. To participate in such a meeting, please introduce yourself to everyone!"
A young man who looked 24 or 96 years old stood up and said, "Hello, leaders. My name is Liu Qiangdong. I am from Suqian, Jiangsu. I graduated from the Sociology Department of Renmin University in [-]. After graduation, I worked in a foreign-funded enterprise and successively served as a computer supervisor. , network supervisor, logistics supervisor, etc., I was invited by Director Li not long ago to join Huinong, a large group, and is responsible for assisting Director Li in preparing for the warehousing and logistics business department. I will often learn from you in the future!"
When Li Lei decided to prepare for the warehousing and logistics business department, he had been thinking about talents in this area. Wang Wei of SF Express started his business as early as 93, and his business has improved a lot now; The Tonglu gang of other companies have also begun to get involved in this industry. After thinking about it, Li Lei thought of Dongzi. Although Dongzi is the founder of JD.com, he also has an outstanding performance in logistics.
Since Xiao Fang can always bring Dong Zi under his command, then naturally I can do it too!So Li Lei asked someone to inquire about it, and it didn't take much effort to find Dongzi who was working in a foreign company; JD.com was founded on June 1998, 6. After it was successful, JD.com would launch a business on June 18th every year. Promotion, in order to compete with Taobao’s Double Eleven. It was the end of 6 when Li Lei found Dongzi. At this time, Dongzi had not yet made up his mind to start a business.
When he first heard that Huinong wanted him to go there, Dongzi was still a little puzzled. The foreign company he is currently working in has basically nothing to do with agriculture, so what are they doing poaching him?Moreover, he had to leave the capital to go to work at the headquarters in Heyang, Dongzi was somewhat reluctant.
It happened that Li Lei was having a meeting in the capital at this time, so he called him to his courtyard, chatted with Dongzi, and told him that Huinong was planning to integrate the warehousing and logistics resources within the company. Come here to help me prepare for this matter, and Li Lei's conditions are indeed very generous, so Dongzi came here without much hesitation.
"Top students from the National People's Congress, welcome, welcome, let's communicate more in the future!" Li Xinwang, Hou Tao, Lei Yi, Sun Mengquan, Xiong Yiwu, Qu Bin, Jiao Gaoliang and other heads of different business departments all expressed their welcome, but they did not because of Dongzi's Young people despise each other. Firstly, the brand of the National People’s Congress is really resounding. Secondly, most of them entered Huinong when they were younger than Dongzi. After so many years, they have been tempered.
"My family's conditions are not very good. When I went to the university to report, I packed more than 100 boiled eggs in the house. Coincidentally, these eggs were chicks sold by Huinong Jiangsu Branch. It used to be that eggs were eaten in the village. It was difficult. Later, I bought Huinong’s chicks, and they laid eggs quickly and abundantly. Everyone’s rice bowls had a little more meat. When they saved enough eggs to sell, they would have money to buy pens and paper! So I have always been fond of Huinong. I am grateful, now I have the opportunity to join Huinong, and I also hope to make a small contribution to the group, so that more people can benefit from it!" Dongzi gave a short but touching speech.
This is the second time for Li Lei to hear these words. Compared with his own memory, he found something different. According to his memory, when Dongzi went to college, he brought 76 eggs instead of more than 100. , This shows that the appearance of Huinong has indeed brought about good changes in the lives of many people, which makes him quite gratified.
It’s just that Dongzi’s family background is not as bad as everyone imagined. He was indeed born in an ordinary rural family in Lailong Town, SQ City, JS Province. His ancestral home is in Xiangtan, and his ancestors sailed for generations. Grandpa Dongzi’s generation had a fleet at home. At that time, he sold antiques from Yangzhou to Xuzhou, and then sold coal from Xuzhou to Yangzhou. He made a lot of money by reselling the goods to get the difference.
For this reason, Dongzi’s grandfather suffered a certain impact after liberation. He came to Suqian from Xiangtan to settle down. However, the skills and experience of running a boat were handed down. When Dongzi’s father was 17 years old, he began to resume his old business and followed him. Others ran the boat and got a salary of 30 yuan a month. This money may not sound like much, but at that time most farmers did not even have the opportunity to earn this little money, and Dongzi’s family was considered good in the local area.
By the time Dongzi graduated from junior high school and was admitted to Suqian Middle School, he had already started operating a shipping company and bought a 120-ton ship. Such conditions were definitely considered wealthy at the time, but unfortunately the good times didn’t last long. A major flood broke out in Jiang and other river basins, and Dongzi's boat was also swallowed by the water in this disaster. The boat was gone, but the money owed to buy the boat had to be paid back.
So Dongzi took the debt on his own head, rented a stall with only four square meters in Haikai Market in Zhongguancun, put up the signboard of Jingdong Multimedia, and started a business selling recorders, and earned money from it. The first pot of gold was obtained, and a gorgeous counterattack was realized.
After Dongzi made his fortune, he also issued an ancestral search announcement in 2018, listing his family's "loyalty and strong will, blessings and tranquility" rankings, and looking for the clansmen of Liu's Zhonglingtang in Xiangtan. According to this ranking, he and milk tea My sister's child's name must have the word "Fu" in the middle.
When he returned to Xiangtan to find his family and recognize his roots, he brought a generous gift to the local area, promising to invest 100 billion in Xiangtan.
Dongzi's appearance in the conference room today was just a small episode. After introducing himself, Dongzi sat down at the end, picked up a pen and paper and took notes seriously.
Li Lei must remember the flood this year. In 92, Huinong played an important role in the flood, and won the gratitude and trust of many local governments, laying a solid foundation for the future development of Huinong. .
Now the same thing is in front of us. Huinong must do his part, whether it is from the consideration of giving back to the society or the future development of the company. That is why Li Lei asked Hou Tao to produce as much food as possible just now, even if it is temporarily sold. It doesn't matter if you don't go out and save it, it will come in handy after a while.
Next, Lei Yi from the feed business department began to speak, "Affected by bird flu, many farmers and enterprises are facing huge difficulties, and our payment collection and sales have been affected to varying degrees!"
This problem is equally important, and Li Lei wants to hear how they plan to solve it.
