My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 290: Armed with sharp weapons and murderous intentions

Because it's too big.

The cost of building the entire factory is more than 300 million!
If the actual purchasing power of the currency is taken into account due to inflation, it will be a multi-billion or multi-hundred dollar company in thirty or forty years.

In 1985, it was definitely a national pillar and super large enterprise.

The petrochemical and natural gas base near Jiangzhou is already developing a petrochemical super plant for the production of non-woven fabrics. It is one of the four pillar industries of the same type approved by the state in the 1970s, with an investment of 1 billion yuan and a construction period of nearly ten years.

Let Weidong's be roughly equivalent to one-third.

That is the scale of building a new industrial city.

Although Xishan Factory is very small, it is hidden in the mountains and looks like an independent small society.

In this super project, SOD is just a by-product. It is the result of squeezing corn to decompose it to the extreme, including starch, protein powder, corn oil, edible alcohol, fuel ethanol, xylitol, protein feed, etc.

It is almost similar to how petroleum is extracted and broken down into various by-products by petrochemical plants, with fuel oil being just one of them.

The corn consumption can easily reach hundreds of thousands of tons, and the output value starts at billions.

This is like being a local overlord.

For a young person who was a husband cheater two years ago, this matter is as outrageous as trying to launch a satellite into space with your hands.

But in 85, no one questioned it.

Because at this time the trend of everyone doing business had begun to rise.

In an era where many heroes emerge and anyone who dares to think can become a saint, they dare to take on any project, such as polishing the moon, cleaning the Pacific Ocean, and leveling Mount Everest. They dare to brag about anything, and everyone thinks they are just imaginative.

Didn’t Weidong, who came from Lao You, dare to exchange canned food for civil airliners worth two or three hundred million? Why can’t I do the same?

Therefore, since he was about to rely on Lao You to start his own rebirth two years ago, his starting point was extremely high.

However, Weidong did not enter the market blindly.

Because there was only one dilapidated mud house for the three girls to squeeze into their sleeping bags and bedding, the two men simply slept in the double-row seat rear compartment covered with an awning.

Even though I brought more than ten piglets in bamboo cages along the way, and gave away a pair to every farmer I met on the road, there was still a strange smell after washing them in the evening.

Both men seemed to be deliberately testing whether the other could remain calm under difficult conditions.

Weidong grew up in the countryside, so he has a much stronger ability to accept things. Wu Xi, on the other hand, keeps smoking, trying to turn himself into bacon.

Of course, the main purpose was to distract himself with conversation. "Actually, the most significant thing about this is... if it's actually completed, you'll probably be the largest private capitalist in China, the most important figure since the reform and opening up."

Wei Dong was immediately shocked. "Then I'll slow down and wait for the other capitalist comrades. However, I'm going to give 20% of the shares to the relevant units. It can be considered a public-private partnership. Yes, I have an additional condition for this matter."

Wu Xi smoked himself: "You say."

Rang Weidong had already figured it out: "I can give you 10 million for the technology transfer, but the laboratory technology for extracting SOD from animal hemoglobin should be given to me as a gift. I need this to earn back the 300 million construction costs."

The pig blood from the slaughterhouse next door is cheap and in large quantities. Now there is no pork offal noodles, but pig blood noodles are popping up everywhere for a few cents a bowl. Weidong decided to change the breakfast of the people of Shangzhou. I'll snatch them all away for you.

In this way, with small-scale laboratory-level investment, SOD can be extracted and added to health products.

As for whether health products are profitable, it depends on advertising investment and the skills of the sales team.

As long as the word "health products" was involved, Weidong felt that 300 million was not difficult to make.

If I go against my conscience, I estimate 3 billion would be enough.

Wu Xi was impressed: "Fuck, you talk about making 300 million like it's a piece of cake. The Ministry of Finance should invite you to be a consultant."

Weidong said modestly, "When your skills are just right for this era, then you should make money. Ten years ago, my sales ability would have been cut off. In the next ten or twenty years, the sales market will probably be quite saturated, and various sales networks will be fighting each other. It won't be so easy to cut down the market. Just wait and see."

Wu Xi carefully learned about the national sales network formed by Weidong's college students. It has now developed into six branches, more than 200 employees, and more than 3,000 part-time college students, distributed in more than 100 colleges and universities in more than ten provinces.

These people are precisely those in the provincial capitals and relatively economically developed areas with the highest consumption capacity in the country.

It will grow even more vigorously in a few years, and the increasing number of college students will enter the society and become the backbone of social consumption power.

Wu Xi could only tut-tut and shake his head: "You're almost catching up with an independent regiment, and it's full of elite soldiers and generals. Is sales really that important?"

Let Weidong wrap himself in the hay of his military coat: "Didn't you see that the resolution after Pingjing was to speed up the reform of the economic system? How to reform it? It's to revitalize the economy and turn over the stagnant fish pond. In other words, it's to do business. It was not allowed before, and everything was frozen. Now it's slowly thawing. Don't you think that these sales everywhere are like blood vessels that are slowly becoming active?" Wu Xi took a deep puff of his cigarette: "You business people are really smart!"

Rang Weidong shook his head: "No, you just said it looked like an independent regiment, and they were all elite soldiers. Many of those independent regiments back then were from the Tubalu, right? How come they overthrew those from the military academy?"

His understanding of the independent group must come from TV dramas.

Wu Xi was actually amused: "Oh, you actually know something about this? Tell me about it?"

Let Weidong just chatter: "First, the people support us. Look at us selling houses, cameras, and sanitary napkins. These are things that the people urgently need to improve their lives. Isn't this the fundamental difference between us and the Eighth Route Army?"

Wu Xi has never experienced the scene of netizens fulfilling their keyboard politics at a high intensity.

I was so excited: "You've done research on this too?!"

Damn, netizens are the most amazing when they talk about these things. The reason why Weidong doesn’t like to speak is that it’s inconvenient for him to type and he reads a lot.

The rhetoric is all in one package: "Secondly, they must have strong ideology and high quality. When a people's army fights for the people, even those who have just surrendered from the Nationalist army can be transformed into gods of war. We are the same. Regarding cultural college students, there is no doubt about that. The most important thing is that everyone understands that they are contributing to economic reform and working to improve people's living conditions. Isn't this fighting power amazing?"

Therefore, future generations should really thank the Internet, which gathers information from people all over the world and greatly eliminates the information gap.

Especially for an old man like Weidong who is addicted to the internet and uses his phone intensively.

It really made Wu Xi feel that he was extremely capable and had a very positive outlook on life!
Especially in this era when almost everyone admires Europe and the United States, it is difficult for Weidong to fake his heartfelt belief that the future will become stronger.

Leaning against this remote mountain range, he talked about the world with such eloquence, with the elegant mood of "When will we cut the candle in the west window together and talk about the night rain in Bashan Mountain?"

So when he returned to Shangzhou the next day, Wu Xi had already made up his mind to promote this project that would benefit the country and the people.

It is obvious that if Weidong wants to make money, he can do other business.

Not to mention the lucrative real estate industry, the Hong Kong-invested production plants currently being promoted in Jiangzhou alone can make a fortune if sold, so there is absolutely no need to bear the risk of such a huge project.

The only explanation can only be for this impoverished mountainous area.

After traveling for four or five hours to get back to Shangzhou, Weidong had originally planned to stay for a few more days, waiting for the crew to return to Jiangzhou.

As soon as they arrived at the industrial park, Ding Haifeng climbed over to the driver's seat and reported the bad news: "Manager Dong called and asked you to return to Rongdu as soon as possible. Your manager was hacked by criminals and is being treated!"

Weidong was shocked: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have driven north this morning. I could have taken the Baocheng Railway in just a few hundred kilometers and gone directly to Rongdu. From here, I could have taken the waterway to Jiangzhou and then to Rongdu..."

Without further ado, I simply instructed Li Erfeng to start selecting a large number of people and sending them to Jiangzhou Economic Development Zone. These outstanding migrant workers can take on important team responsibilities in the new factory.

It is true that from the sanitary napkin factory that is constantly expanding production to the jeans factory and several garment factories, a large amount of intensive labor is required.

Recruiting only from Jiangzhou City would have high operating costs and would not be that effective.

Qin Yuye cleverly used the excuse of going back to check on his factory and followed along, but Wu Xi, the light bulb, didn't leave any room for maneuver. His main purpose was to investigate, so Weidong, the crew, and even the real estate expert group were just incidental tasks.

Then let Yu Xiaoqiu take care of these two parts.

Ding Haifeng and his team also promised to make every effort to coordinate and supervise the real estate construction. Nearly two million yuan in purchase price + loan had actually been paid out before New Year's Day.

Now there is no need to use our own funds to the construction site. It just so happens that the food factory building that was previously slow in construction has trained some of our own employees to coordinate with the construction site, and they can be merged into the real estate company. The freed-up funds can also be used to speed up the construction of the food factory building.

If corn bioengineering can be finalized, there will be a series of difficult stages in which the company will have to tighten its belt to raise the patent transfer fees.

Therefore, it is of great significance to complete these half-finished stalls as soon as possible for the operation next year, no, it is already 1985.

This time on board, Qin Yuye used his Home Return Permit to upgrade his cabin in Cantonese and Mandarin, and also upgraded the two men's tickets to the second class cabin. The four-person room was also pretty good.

Let Weidong keep writing and drawing in his notebook.

Wu Xi found a phone number for him and said, "If the situation is serious, you can contact someone here in Rongdu, but try not to use this kind of personnel."

Rang Weidong nodded: "I know you mean well, but if you use some things too easily, and normal business transactions cannot be separated from these means, then you are going astray."

Wu Xi said happily: "So, try to use your thing as little as possible. When you have a sharp weapon, you will naturally want to kill. You are a person who understands this principle."

They both slept together for many days, so naturally they had seen the Type 77 pistol on Weidong's waist, and they also talked about the robbery and murder case in the provincial capital of Jibei.

Weidong had seen this sentence on the Internet before, and it suddenly dawned on him that this was what it meant.
