I'm incredibly ambitious after being reborn.

Chapter 57 is too powerful.

"Mr. Zhang, what does your workshop produce?"

“That’s the ‘Longevity Fruit’ workshop. I registered seven factories here in one go. When Director Shen came in, didn’t you see the signs outside? All seven signs are hanging vertically, white background with black lettering, and the signs are made of metasequoia wood.”

"..."

Seven...seven families, that's awesome!

At this point, Shen Guangen no longer wanted to find out whether the food factory he had mentioned before was still there; there was no need to find out anymore!

What does it mean to be a "treasure boy"?!

Shen Guangen's official authority was actually not very high. The main job of the credit department of the bank where he worked was to clean up the old bad debts of some old companies and collect as much as possible.

They say they want to plunge into the vast ocean of finance and economics, but Jiyang City is such a small place, and banks have to follow the projects when issuing money.

Large projects are either government projects or large enterprises, while small and medium-sized entrepreneurs usually only need 50,000 to 100,000 yuan to keep the business running.

For loans exceeding 100,000, the time required for approval is enough for small business owners to borrow money from relatives and friends five, six, seven, or eight times.

Once you reach the million-dollar mark, the approval process actually becomes easier, but as I said before, you have to follow the project's lead, and having government support is the best option.

People with such as Zhang Daxiang's astonishing hard skills are extremely rare. In Shen Guangen's career, apart from top experts who have such absolute production investment and technical problem-solving abilities, other entrepreneurs mainly rely on spending money.

"By January, can 5,000 tons... be processed?"

“It’s not difficult at all. I even registered a machinery factory, which is called ‘Chang Gong Machinery’ on the outside. Two teams are enough. I have the blueprints ready, so there’s no need to re-check them. I can directly arrange the process flow, and the final step is just final assembly.”

"Where is that cargo? There's still a shortfall of 3,000 tons."

Shen Guangen was right when he said there was a shortage of 3,000 tons, because there is a difference in moisture content between dried sunflower seeds and raw sunflower seeds. The estimate should be based on a quantity of 6,000 to 7,000 tons, which is about 15% loss.

In this respect, Shen Guangen, who studied finance, is quite knowledgeable, but this is probably also related to his long-term dealings with food-related companies.

"I actually have the goods too. To be honest, if it weren't for Director Shen's old classmate, I could easily stockpile ten million worth of goods myself."

"..."

Hearing Zhang Daxiang utter such outrageous words, Shen Guangen felt as if he were listening to a foreign language, but Zhang Daxiang was truly exceeding his expectations.

He used to think he was very knowledgeable and had seen all kinds of outstanding young people and heard of all kinds of talented people. But now that he sees this, well... he really has never seen anything like it.

This is outrageous.

"Would you mind revealing the source of the goods?"

"There are three places: Hedong Road, Hebei South Road, and Andong Road. They are not big players; they buy from small farmers. They buy from five or six townships in one county, which is about seven or eight thousand mu of produce."

The yield per acre for small-scale farmers growing sunflower seeds is actually a little higher, but it is still limited. After all, they usually plant a little in their own plots, usually one or two fen (0.01-0.03 hectares), or two or three rows or four rows along the corner of the wall. There are not many people who actually plant them in arable land.

The average yield is three to four hundred catties per mu, so it would require a yield of about 30,000 mu.

Currently, the price of raw sunflower seeds in the agricultural counties of Hedong Province is outrageously low. Even if Zhang Daxiang hadn't encountered Shen Guangen, he would still have been buying them in large quantities and then stockpiling them in Jiyang City. Since he had predicted the reduced production in the Yangtze River basin, stockpiling at this time could yield profits of 300%, or even higher.

This doesn't even include the price after processing. Just by selling the raw goods as merchandise, doubling the price is easy.

Wang Fakui was offered 2.3 yuan. In reality, the cheapest raw goods he could find were only 3 mao. Unfortunately, Wang Fakui wasn't cut out for business. When he encountered some elderly people in the countryside who couldn't grow enough crops, he would charge them at least 2 mao.

I just can't bring myself to do it, there's nothing I can do about it.

Wang Fakui was a typical example of someone who, despite not being wealthy himself, couldn't bear to see people living in poverty and suffering.

This is perfectly understandable; on the contrary, Zhang Daxiang quite admires Sang Yuke's uncle.

With the previous eight tons of goods, Wang Fakui still managed to make a net profit of more than 20,000 yuan, which was equivalent to his twenty years of farming in Wuhui County; it was also better than his two years of working on a construction site.

It has only taken eight days.

He himself felt that the money he was making was too hot to handle, and he really couldn't live with his conscience if he tried to lower the prices for the elderly people left behind in the countryside.

However, there were some advantages. When the middlemen went to the countryside, in places like Wuhui County and Anbian County, as long as it was a place where Wang Fakui had left his mark, they would wait for Wang Fakui to quote a price first before seeing if he would buy it first, and then other middlemen would come.

In a sense, Wang Fakui has directly entered the highest realm of "thick-skinned and black-hearted" philosophy.

He used to go directly to the county's farmers' market to wholesale goods, but now he prefers to go to the countryside, mainly to develop distribution channels.

The old men and women who sold him the goods didn't collect much; some weighed a hundred or two hundred pounds, while others weighed only a few dozen pounds. However, because his prices were fair and he paid readily, the older folks would invite "Da Kui Zi" over to sit down.

"Da Kui Zi" was the nickname Wang Fakui used when he was running around the village. An old lady called him that, and so the older folks started calling him that too.

This is also related to his current practice of harvesting sunflower seeds, since the "kui" in sunflower seeds and the "kui" in Wang Fakui's name are similar in pronunciation.

Of course, some people call him "the melon seed collector," but the most common way to address him right now is as "Da Kui Zi."

At this time, Wang Fakui was in a state of tension and excitement because he had just earned money. He was afraid of messing up the job, so he worked very hard when he went to the countryside.

Previously, Zhang Daxiang and Sang Yuke had communicated with him, suggesting that he first travel back and forth between Wuhui County and Anbian County, since this was his hometown, and that bringing fellow villagers along would allow him to earn money while also ensuring his safety.

Safety is the top priority.

However, Wang Fakui still felt guilty, always thinking that he had taken too much money. So he not only went to Weizhou and Yizhou, but also went to Dingzhou and Zhaozhou, and traveled to more than 20 counties in the Taihang Mountains. He basically figured out where the main rural specialty product trading markets were.

It was precisely because Wang Fakui had firsthand information that when Shen Guangen asked him where the three thousand tons of goods came from, he was able to confirm that he did indeed have a source. The cheapest raw goods were 600 yuan per ton, with slightly less plump grains; the average price was around 1,500 yuan per ton, which was completely different from the price in Jiangnan East Road.

After continuous rains and localized flooding, by the time September is over, even if someone notices that the price of raw sunflower seeds has increased in October, there won't be many wholesalers with hundreds of tons of stock on hand.

Zhang Daxiang now has the supply of goods. As long as he brings in fifty drivers and one hundred people to load the trucks from Dongsangjiazhuang, it won't be difficult to replenish the three thousand tons.

In Shen Guangen's eyes, this kind of "strength" that he could easily acquire was simply unfathomable.

That's incredibly impressive!
This money should be earned by a talented young man!
