Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

After the Spring Festival, agricultural machinery products began to enter the peak sales season.

This time, agricultural tricycles will be supplied to the whole province. In order to meet the market demand, Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory has also operated at full capacity. Although it is not a 24-hour shift, the operation time of the production line is also more than 12 hours.

In terms of working hours alone, the workers in the agricultural machinery factory must have worked much harder than the 996 of later generations.

In terms of sales channels, Li Weidong doesn’t have to worry. Unlike ordinary commodities, agricultural machinery sales channels rely on agricultural machinery stations under the agricultural machinery department. There are agricultural machinery stations in all towns and villages in China, so the sales channels of agricultural machinery have already penetrated to the lowest level.

What Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory has to do is to produce, transport and deliver to the agricultural machinery station.

Early in the morning, Li Weidong came to Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory, walked around the workshop, listened to reports from several workshop directors, and inspected the management situation in the workshop.

It is said to be inspecting the workshop, but in fact, it is also inspecting the business ability of several workshop directors.

Li Weidong's industry is getting bigger and bigger, and the management talents under him are getting less and less.

Li Weidong also wanted to recruit some management talents, but management talents were not available in China at that time. If it was a large state-owned enterprise or a foreign-funded enterprise, it could still recruit ready-made management talents, but it was impossible for a small enterprise like Li Weidong. Recruit management talents.

Therefore, Li Weidong can only tap the potential internally, see if there are any outstanding ability among the workshop directors, and give them some promotion as appropriate.

Li Weidong was wandering around the workshop, and the people in the office rushed to report: "Factory director, Secretary Wu of the sub-district office is here."

Li Weidong nodded and said, "Secretary Wu please come to the reception room, I'll go there right away."

After a while, Li Weidong met Secretary Wu in the reception room, and there was a middle-aged man beside Secretary Wu.

"Secretary Wu, why didn't you say hello in advance!" Li Weidong greeted him with a smile.

"It only takes 20 minutes to walk from the sub-district office to your factory, so why should I say hello!" Secretary Wu shook hands with Li Weidong, then pointed to the people around him: "This is from Tianyuan Town. Mayor Che."

"Director Li, hello, my name is Che Tengshan." Mayor Che quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Li Weidong.

"It turned out to be the mayor of Che. The canned fruit in your town is the best in the country!" Li Weidong said politely.

"We are all small workshops, and we can't talk about being first-class in the country." Che Tengshan paused, then said, "But this time, I'm here to visit Director Li, and it's really for the canned food in our town."

"Mayor Che, let's sit down and talk slowly." Li Weidong pointed to the sofa.

After the guests and the host were seated, Che Tengshan said, "Director Li, now there is a kind of agricultural tricycle in the Agricultural Machinery Institute. Is it from your factory?"

"You mean Fukang agricultural tricycle? That's what our factory produces.

"Li Weidong nodded.

"Are you renting this agricultural tricycle?" Che Tengshan asked again.

Li Weidong was stunned for a while, completely unaware of what Che Tengshan meant.

Che Tengshan went on to explain: "Director Li, as you know, the main industry of our Tianyuan Town is the production of canned fruits. In order to make it more convenient to purchase fruits, we have set up a fruit procurement team in the town, which will go to each village. Buy fruit, then pull it back to our Tianyuan Town and use it for the cannery.

The fruit trees in our town are mainly planted in the mountains, so our fruit purchasing team spends a lot of effort every year to go into the mountains to collect fruit.

The traffic conditions in the mountains are not good, and it is not easy to transport fresh fruit. Especially in some valleys, the cost of transporting fruit may be higher than the cost of the fruit itself.

But now that you have your agricultural tricycles, it is much easier to go into the mountains to harvest fruits. Even in those few villages with almost no roads, if you drive your agricultural tricycles, you can go back and forth in a day. So in our town, we thought about buying a batch of agricultural tricycles, so that we could go to the mountains to buy fruits in the future.

However, our fruit and fruit purchasing brigade is commercial, not an ordinary agricultural producer. According to the regulations of the state, if he does not meet the subsidy conditions for purchasing agricultural machinery, he cannot buy agricultural tricycles at the subsidized price.

Our Tianyuan Town is not rich, let us buy a batch of agricultural tricycles in full, and we can't get that much money, so I can only come to Director Li to see if we can rent a batch of agricultural tricycles to us. Let us go into the mountains to buy fruit. We can negotiate the rent. "

Li Weidong pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many agricultural tricycles do you need?"

"Why don't you have 100 units!" Che Tengshan said, secretly looking at Li Weidong's expression, and seeing that Li Weidong's face was serious, he immediately changed his mouth and said, "Eighty units are also possible!"

Li Weidong did not answer, but frowned and thought.

Che Tengshan waited for a few seconds, and seeing that Li Weidong didn't answer, he continued, "If it really doesn't work, sixty units will do!"

Next to him, Secretary Wu of the street office also said: "Director Li, it's really not easy in Tianyuan Town, you know, there are many mountains in Tianyuan Town, and the whole town is counting on making canned fruit. When you help the mayor of Che, you are helping the cannery in Tianyuan Town, and you are also helping the tens of thousands of fruit farmers in the mountains of Tianyuan Town!"

Li Weidong thought again for a few seconds, and then asked, "Mayor Che, what is the nature of your fruit procurement team? Does it belong to an organization in your town or a cannery in the town?"

"The fruit procurement team was set up by our town. The original purpose was to help the town's canning factory to purchase fruit. If our town purchases fruits in a unified manner, the quantity will be larger and the price will be lower. This fruit procurement team uses It is also the youth of our villages in Tianyuan Town, who can also solve part of the employment for the town."

Che Tengshan's voice changed, and he continued: "But we don't have that much money in the town to prepare vehicles for the fruit purchasing brigade, so we mobilized the various cannery factories in the town, each of which contributed a part of the money, which is considered to be a stock. This is also I just bought a few second-hand cars, if I have to say the nature, it is a joint-stock cooperative system!"

"Then what kind of canned food are your canning factories making now?" Li Weidong asked again.

"Our Tianyuan Town produces peaches, including honey peaches, hearts, yellow peaches, and nectarines, so we mainly make canned peaches, but we also make canned pears, canned oranges, canned hawthorn, canned apricots, and canned grapes. As long as it is in season, we will make it." Che Tengshan replied immediately.

"Other canned food is okay. Canned yellow peach food can be vigorously developed. That thing is better than fresh canned food!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

Seasonal fresh fruit must taste the best, but there is an exception, that is yellow peach. Yellow peaches are perhaps the only fruit that tastes better canned than fresh.

Hearing what Li Weidong said, Che Tengshan asked in surprise, "Director Li, did you promise to rent the agricultural tricycle to us?"

Li Weidong smiled and shook his head: "I didn't say rent!"

"Director Li, don't you want to donate directly to a batch of agricultural tricycles in Tianyuan Town?" Secretary Wu asked with a haha.

"Secretary Wu, what are you thinking! I'm in business. If I give it away for nothing, I'll lose money!" Li Weidong paused, then said, "Mayor Che, I have a plan."

"Director Li, please speak." Che Tengshan said.

"Since your fruit acquisition team is a joint-stock cooperative system, then I also want to take a share. I will use a hundred agricultural tricycles to buy shares at a discount. What do you think?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

Che Tengshan hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "Director Li, our fruit acquisition team was set up to help the cannery purchase fruits. In fact, it is a logistics service provider and does not make money. If you invest in shares, You won't get any dividends."

"Investing in this kind of thing is about profit, and of course it is also about potential!" Li Weidong laughed and continued:

"Furthermore, in the mountains of Tianyuan Town, there are at least several thousand poor households, right? As long as the fruits from the mountains can be transported out, at least half of these thousands of poor households will be able to get out of poverty. As an entrepreneur , should also assume social responsibility and make some contributions to our country's poverty alleviation work!"

Che Tengshan hesitated for a moment again, then he said, "Director Li, our fruit purchasing team only has a few second-hand trucks. If you really buy 100 agricultural tricycles, you will be the first. A major shareholder!"

"Don't, I'm not the largest shareholder! Buying fruit and helping farmers out of poverty in the mountains is better managed by your Tianyuan Township government. I have the right to regard it as optimistic about the development of canned fruit in your town. Capital." Li Weidong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Che Tengshan took a deep breath with a surprised expression on his face.

He thought that in the best case, he would only rent 50 or 60 agricultural tricycles, and even Li Weidong's direct rejection was a matter of course.

But I didn't expect to get 100 agricultural tricycles without spending a penny, which is no different from falling pie in the sky.

As for the shares of the Fruit Purchasing Brigade, Che Tengshan did not take it to heart at all. With a hundred agricultural tricycles, you can immediately go into the mountains to collect fruits when you drive back, which is much more fragrant than the shares of the purchasing brigade!

...

The future Tianyuan Town will be called "the first town of canned food". One-third of the canned fruit in the country is produced by Tianyuan Town, which is why Li Weidong is willing to invest in Tianyuan Town.

Tianyuan Town has many mountains, and it is still a mountain with a low altitude. The highest one is only more than 600 meters. It is not difficult to pick fruit trees.

In the early 1980s, some smart farmers in Tianyuan Town began to cook canned peaches in large pots to produce canned peaches. Later, more and more people began to engage in the canning industry. By the early 1990s, There are hundreds of cannery factories and canning workshops in the town.

In the most prosperous period of Tianyuan Town in the future, there will be more than 500 canned food production and supporting processing enterprises. However, due to the disorderly competition caused by the blind and disorderly expansion, some black-hearted canning factories abused food additives, resulting in a well-known blow to the reputation of Tianyuan Town Canned Food.

Fortunately, the local town government acted in time, funded and supported some leading enterprises, standardized production, and built an industrial chain, regaining the reputation of Tianyuan Town Canned Food.

Later, the government of Tianyuan Town established a special raw material procurement platform and an international canned food city, and finally the output value of canned food reached more than 10 billion yuan.

For a township, an industry with an output value of more than 10 billion means that the township has become rich.

The fruit acquisition team organized in this town is the predecessor of the "raw material procurement platform" in the future, and it is also the source of the entire canned food industry chain in Tianyuan Town.

In an industry with an output value of more than 10 billion, Li Weidong certainly wants to get involved.

However, the food processing industry is not easy to do, and it is related to the health of the people.

In the case of food safety, if there is a problem, it is very possible to be punished and go bankrupt, or even go to jail.

If you want to be in the food industry, you must devote yourself to it. This is responsible for the health of consumers, and it is also to avoid mistakes and hurt yourself.

Of course, Li Weidong didn't have so much energy to make food. An electrical appliance factory plus an agricultural machinery factory was enough to keep Li Weidong busy, and even He Anan had to squeeze out the time for talking on the phone.

So Li Weidong simply took this opportunity to invest in the fruit procurement team in Tianyuan Town.

This fruit purchasing brigade was organized and managed by the town. Li Weidong only provided means of transportation. If something goes wrong, it is the responsibility of Tianyuan Town.

In the future, when the fruit procurement team becomes a raw material procurement platform, Li Weidong can also be involved in this industry with an output value of 10 billion.

For Li Weidong, this is an opportunity for him to set up a situation in the canning industry. Only how to operate in the future depends on the weather, location, and people!
