Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 332

The autumn sun shines through the birch trees onto the ground, forming spots of light.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming out, the drivers went to the woods outside the flower-making factory and started smoking.

Someone wanted to smoke inside, but was kicked out by the security guard.

It is said that as long as the flower-making factory is open, any fireworks are strictly prohibited in the factory, even if the cotton has not yet arrived.

Everyone knew the rules, and although they felt that the security guard was taking advantage of the situation, they still came out.

"Dahe, can the factory make money by doing this?" Erhu was a little worried. Just now, his father came out with a flushed face and asked him to take money. He almost thought he had been scammed.

"Haha, the factory is definitely making money, and we will also make money selling cotton." He chuckled.

Fifty thousand kilograms a day or even more, these twelve cotton picking drivers may not be able to collect enough, as their big ships can collect more.

While we were chatting, Director Li came out.

Seeing that everyone was smoking outside the door, he didn't go in. He lit a cigarette and directly pulled everyone outside to talk.

As the factory director, he has developed the habit of not smoking in the factory.

"We have already agreed to start harvesting cotton from tomorrow."

"Your family should harvest at least 20,000 kilograms of cotton every week, depending on your own arrangements." There are also some surplus shares for the farmers themselves.

For example, the villagers who grow cotton near Xinba, and those who have cars to deliver the goods.

When they deliver the cotton, they will charge it according to the daily market price. There is no freight premium, but they don’t have to reduce the price for the cotton collectors.

Everyone was immediately happy when they heard this. The price difference of one kilogram of cotton was as little as seven or eight cents, and as much as a few cents. They could make a lot of money from these 20,000 kilograms of cotton.

"So many?"

"That's right, they're restricting us from collecting more at Fenghuang Bridge, saying there's not enough money in the account." Someone complained.

Some people specialize in collecting cotton. They have several cars at home and have obtained cotton collecting qualifications from several factories. They know more about the market.

Because cotton has a low density and a high center of gravity, a normal large tricycle can only collect about 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms of cotton. A factory can barely collect cotton with just one trip a day.

"Haha, if you put in more effort, you can earn more money."

"Also, there won't be any divisions in the cotton area. It'll just be the twelve of you. No more people."

"From now on, the factory will inform you of the cotton price every morning. It is four cents higher here now." Director Li said with a smile on his face.

The lively atmosphere on the field suddenly stagnated and everyone started shouting.

"It's five cents."

"That's right, the cotton collection trucks in Cangtou are all paid six cents."

The general cotton mill charges five cents. Assuming a cart of cotton weighs at most 2000 kilograms, you can make two hundred yuan by eating both ends.

"Just make two trips," Director Li said calmly. "Or if you don't want to deliver it, I'll find someone else. There should be someone who can do it."

He was responsible for the factory's profits and had to run it at full capacity, giving each member of the cotton-collecting teams a full share. How could he not lower the price?

The price of one pound of cotton is reduced by one cent. If the two production lines are running at full capacity, these people will collect at least one million pounds of cotton every month, saving at least more than ten thousand yuan.

The six thousand yuan interest was nothing. He had already considered these things.

Although everyone was a little dissatisfied, they agreed after discussing it with each other.

With 20,000 kilograms of cotton a week, excluding the shipping costs, I can make at least 1,500 or 1,600 kilograms.

Without special treatment, the cotton collecting drivers in ordinary cotton-picking factories would not be able to earn so much.

Qin Dahe followed Director Li to the office to talk, leaving everyone else still discussing the matter.

"Daha, thank you so much this time." In the office, Director Li expressed his sincere gratitude.

Fifty thousand yuan is not a lot, but it is real support, and he has the confidence to speak with confidence.

"I trust you to do things."

Since both of them were interested in making friends, the conversation became more lively.

"I wonder if you have ever thought about this question: what should we do if more and more flower-making factories open?" Qin Dahe suddenly asked.

Director Li nodded slightly, "I've considered it."

"According to the rumors I've heard, several more small factories with dual production lines will open next year." After a pause, he continued, "Including your village."

"But last year, the county's cotton output was 130,000 tons. Our Dongxiang and Nanxiang areas, which extend all the way to the riverside, are considered major cotton-producing areas, accounting for more than half of the total." Wuwei County itself is a major cotton-producing county, and cotton is considered a pillar economic crop.

"According to my estimates, the cotton planting area will continue to expand every year. If the cotton-tying factory operates well, it can make money for at least another six or seven years."

Watching Director Li speak so eloquently, Qin Dahe couldn't help but admire him. Talent shines wherever it's placed. A factory director in the countryside can see six or seven years into the future. "Have you considered the downstream textile factories? Can their profits sustain for six or seven years?"

"As a poor county, although we receive many subsidies, the loss of labor is becoming increasingly serious, and cotton production will also be restricted. How can we solve this problem?"

As questions were raised one after another, Director Li had to look seriously at Qin Dahe in front of him.

I didn't expect this person could think so much about harvesting cotton. He is worthy of being a person who gets rich in one year.

Qin Dahe is now highly regarded by his neighbors. Not everyone has the ability to make a fortune in just one year.

"It was indeed a lack of consideration, but I watch the news every day and it seems that some kind of 'bilateral agreement' has been reached and textile exports have increased," he said uncertainly.

It is not difficult to make a fortune as long as you study the current news broadcast carefully. He is also a senior news reader and reads the news broadcast and newspapers every day.

Qin Dahe nodded. This is about joining the WTO, and it seems that the agreement will be signed this year.

It is useful to say the least, but the current trend of rural population loss is bound to lead to the decline of the township economy.

There is also the problem of inflation. In good years, you can earn 1,000 yuan per acre of land. If you have more land at home and start a side business, now it is not a problem to make 20,000 yuan a year.

But as time goes by, money becomes less valuable, so who would still work hard to farm?

A few years later, a wave of migrant workers emerged, and many people under the age of 30 in the village went out to work.

The profit period of flower-making factories is only in the next few years. Once more factories are opened, the gross profit margin of the industry will decrease.

"It's just a small talk, let's talk casually."

After taking a sip of tea, he smiled and said that he would send the loan money over tomorrow.

"Haha, thank you for your support."

"It's okay, it's just a small amount of money." Qin Dahe said indifferently, "Maybe we can cooperate again if there is a chance in the future."

He has his own considerations. This year, there are already many customers from other provinces, and shipping is a problem and very troublesome.

We no longer accept small orders. Individuals must order at least 50 kilograms before we will ship. Our main customer group is fishing tackle stores.

As other fishing tackle factories imitate silver carp and bighead carp bait, there may be a slight impact, but it is insignificant because the track is different.

He was going to follow a path similar to that of internet celebrities in later generations. Fishermen all liked to show off, and so did Qin Dahe.

When you have nothing to do, just go to China and write for a fishing magazine, teach people on the forum, and post some pictures.

In this case, as the popularity grows, the bait will definitely sell better.

Nowadays, fishermen who are willing to spend money are at least from well-off families, while ordinary farmers still mainly fish with earthworms.

These well-off families have the opportunity to access the Internet, and by accumulating a little bit of information, their customer base will gradually expand.

In the early stage, small workshops were mainly used, and relatives and friends could help with the work.

But he is confident that once the fishing gear market expands, he will be able to capture some market share, and then he will consider building a factory.

However, building a factory involves a lot of troubles and requires a professional to manage it, and the person must be capable.

Director Li is the natural best candidate and is much more reliable than his brothers.

My son is a student from Harbin Institute of Technology, so it is inevitable that he will contribute to the country. He has no desire for wealth, only a sense of professionalism. How wonderful!

The fishing gear market has to face competitors from all over the country, so he must be interested. The flower-making factory will become less and less interesting as time goes by, and it will not be able to retain such talents.

He is now preparing for a rainy day, building good relationships and making preparations for the future.

When we came out of the flower-making factory, only Erhu was waiting here, and the others.

"Where's your dad?"

"He still has to wait until he gets off work." Erhu said with a smile, "They officially started working right after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

“Haha, they are all ambitious.”

"Let's go home. You'll be busy from now on."

"Aren't you busy?" Erhu hurried to catch up.

"Me?" Qin Dahe chuckled. "My big boat can carry 5,000 kilograms. Four trips a week is enough. I don't need to be busy at all."

"Fuck, it's still possible."

It's so fucking clever that he even wants to buy a big ship.
