Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 43 Vegetable Vendors Association, Export to Domestic Sales
The living room on the first floor of the small western-style building.

Recently, construction vehicles have been coming and going, and the provincial road is dusty, making the house not very clean.

Yu Yang invited Lao Han, Zhang Hai and Yue Donglai to take a seat, and picked up a wet handkerchief to wipe the tea table.

Although the old bamboo items that Uncle Six found from the supply and marketing cooperative are far inferior to those made of ebony or pear wood, whether an item is high-end or not depends on the person who uses it.

For example, Yu Gaoshang.

His movements are graceful, his techniques are skillful, and the way he makes tea reveals a sense of class.

Yue Donglai, the owner of Quanpu Trailer, had never experienced this sense of ceremony even in the office of the general manager of Jishui City.

"Brother, how did you do this?"

"Nothing more than that. I went to high school."

"???"

Yu Yang filled everyone's cups of tea, took a sip of the 94 Pu'er square brick, and then took out a fresh-keeping box from under the coffee table.

"From now on, our bean sprouts will be sold in woven baskets, which are considered bulk, and in fresh-keeping boxes, which are considered premium products. What do you think?"

Old Han picked up the food container and examined it. "Is there any difference?"

“All sprouts are the same.”

"Looking at the size of the box, the bean sprouts should weigh one-third less. What's the price?"

"2 yuan a box, 500 boxes a set, tied with rubber rope, each set wholesale price 1000 yuan, currently only supplied to major customers."

Old Han immediately understood what he meant.

The products are sold in bulk to ordinary vegetable vendors, targeting the rural market, and the funds are recovered by selling in large quantities.

The box packaging is delivered to major customers and is oriented towards cities, making the industry gradually move towards formalization.

"The boss always thinks things through carefully."

"Don't flatter me."

Yu Yang lit a cigarette, took out a stack of documents, and pointed to the hot pot gift package behind the door, "You should have seen this before."

"Yes, high-end stuff."

"You prepare 20 semi-trailers, 10 for transporting premium bean sprouts and 10 for this. Go to the Northeast and bring back 3 electric rail cars. Give of them as gift boxes to the locals and sell the rest. I'll reimburse you for the travel expenses."

Old Han picked up the paper on the table and looked through it for a moment, "No problem."

Zhang Hai and Yue Donglai also finished reading it. One wrote down the contact information and pickup address in the Northeast and planned a route, while the other contacted the fleet and asked them to go to the brick kiln to load the goods.

Wait until everything is explained.

The three of them looked at each other.

Old Han spoke again, "Boss, we made an important decision in the past few days."

"Oh?"

"How about you take over our company and we take charge of the transportation business?"

Yu Yang looked around at the three people, "Why do you have this idea?"

"It's nice to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade."

"We are not outsiders, to be honest."

"Recently, the three of us have discussed and decided that with our funds, income, and connections, Sihaitongda's development will soon reach a bottleneck.

We will also be restricted by Sanyuan Agriculture. After all, we are a channel, and you can't allow us to develop indefinitely.

Sanyuan Agriculture has started off so aggressively that once the new clinker greenhouse is put into use, it may instantly become a company with a revenue of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

By then, there will be more and more channels, and we will soon become a small company.

On the contrary, if you join Sanyuan Agriculture and take charge of the transportation business, the three of us will become shareholders. In the future, we can not only earn more from you, but also improve our status, and we don’t have to rack our brains and worry all day long. "

Yu Yang leaned forward, "You just don't trust me, Yu Sanyuan."

"Boss, that's not true. Who are we? One is a farmer, one is a moneylender, and one is a car welder. We are all ignorant and won't go far."

"You listen to me?"

"Listen!" x3
The reason why the three brothers revealed their true feelings was not because of the bandit suppression in Shiliying, nor because of the 600 million yuan investment in Sanyuan Agriculture.

Instead, go out and broaden your horizons.

In other words, this is a world blocked by layers of human relationships.

If the three brothers followed Yu Yang around the area and had some small fights, there would naturally be no problem.

But if you want to grow bigger and stronger with Sanyuan Agriculture, you need... someone behind you.

Who is behind the three brothers?

Even if Yue Donglai, the richest man, went to Jishui City to ask the manager for help, he had to wait for two days before meeting him.

Yu Yang knew what the three were thinking.

It's just that during this trip to Beijing and Tianjin, they were frightened and retreated.

He refilled the three brothers' cups of tea.

"Some time ago, a leader gave me a sentence: Only when you make yourself more important will they pay more attention to you."

The three brothers thought about it carefully.

Yu Yang continued, “Let’s put it this way. The company has increased its investment and expanded its production. A new batch of plastic greenhouses will soon be put into use, and the output will at least increase fivefold.

I provide you with goods worth 20 yuan every day. You can sell them. I will provide you with more in the future.

Don't think too much, just go ahead and if you encounter any difficulties, I will solve them."

"This……"

"Ok, deal!"

Yu Yang definitely wants to set up a transportation department, but things have different priorities.

At present, the most important thing for us is not transportation, but the channel, that is, the vegetable vendors.

Only by recruiting more vegetable vendors can we digest the bean sprouts produced after the excessive production in our own farm.

As for how to recruit more vegetable vendors...

Yu Yang took out an A4 paper and motioned the three brothers to sit closer.

"I've had a vague idea before, and since you all happen to be here today, I'll just say it straight. I plan to have you form a vegetable vendors association."

"what?"

"The purpose is to protect the interests of vegetable vendors and compete with Sanyuan Agriculture."

"This……"

"Can't you?"

"Boss, how can you create enemies for yourself?"

"No, I'm making myself a gun."

In another time and space.

Although Yu Yang only sold bean sprouts for a while, he went to work in engineering projects and didn't know much about the vegetable market, which was like a mountain between two different industries.

But everything remains essentially the same. Since wholesale vegetable business is a business, I think it is no different from real estate.

such as:

The developer manages the property themselves, and then lets the property take the lead in forming an owners' committee, and even lets the property insert people into the neighborhood committee, and even into the community service center... Why?
For stability!
Only when it is stable can we collect property fees better.

The same is true.

Although our dreams are very ambitious and we will not cheat the vegetable vendors, there are bad people among the people.

In order to prevent certain people with ulterior motives from instigating vegetable vendors to cause trouble, it is necessary to set up a vegetable vendors association.

Then this month we will talk about how inconvenient it is to queue up to pick up goods, and let Sanyuan Company launch a number-taking queue to highlight the role of the association.

Next month, we will talk about how dirty and messy the lounge and accommodation area are, and ask Sanyuan Company to make corrections and continue to highlight the association’s role.

Let’s talk about parking lot management after the New Year, and once again demonstrate the role of the association.

If the association is effective, it will naturally attract more vegetable vendors to join, and then they will wholesale vegetables from their own companies.

In short, every year they talk about new requirements, but never talk about lowering wholesale prices.

After understanding what happened, Lao Han, Zhang Hai and Yue Donglai fell silent.

for a long time.

"Boss, you should just recruit us. No money required, really. You can give us less shares."

.........

...

Shiliying brick kiln.

After the renovation, the huge building no longer looks so desolate.

Especially after spraying green paint, it shows vitality everywhere.

8am.

The person in charge, Zhao Qian, climbed up the 69-meter-high green chimney and planted a bright red flag on the top.

And below.

Sixteen kinds of vegetables were piled outside sixteen caves.

Many female workers carried stools and sat around the cave, processing the piles of vegetables and packing them into fresh-keeping boxes according to the weight of one or two taels.

There were also male workers pulling a raft cart, transporting the packed food boxes to the open space on the south side.

In the open space, some people packed the vegetables into red gift boxes according to their types, while others weighed, labeled and printed the production date on the gift boxes.

Brand: Sanyuan.

Logo: clover.

Company: Sanyuan Agricultural High-tech Co., Ltd., Shiliying Township, Pingdong County, Tai City, Dongshan Province.

Factory address: Shiliying.

post code:……

Telephone:……

fax:……

Product name: Vegetable gift pack-hot pot.

Vegetables: 150g bean sprouts, 150g cucumber, 200g tomato, 50g enoki mushrooms, 50g lettuce, 150g romaine lettuce, 200g yam, 150g pakchoy, 200g Donghu lotus root, 75g lettuce, 50g spinach, 200g chrysanthemum, 10g coriander...

By-products: Sanyuan special bean curd skin 50g, Sanyuan special dried bean curd 100g, Shiliying handmade vermicelli 50g, Shiliying handmade air-dried sweet potato slices 150g, Shiliying handmade noodles 150g...

Gift: 2 free-range eggs from Shiliying.

Although the planting area inside the brick kiln is not large, under the care of 67 farmers, more than a thousand kilograms of various vegetables were still produced in five days.

Take lettuce as an example.

1 jin can be divided into 10 50g pieces, which can form 10 gift packs.

10 jin, 100 boxes.

100 catties, 1000 boxes

1000 kilograms, 1 boxes.

The same goes for other reasons.

If calculated based on the selling price of 50 yuan per box, the brick kiln's five-day output can bring the family a profit of 50 yuan.

Unfortunately, it is not as good as the 22.5 yuan daily income of the bean sprout industry.

Moreover, the brick kiln needs more manpower for packaging, packing and transportation, and the storage of vegetables is not convenient due to the wide variety of vegetables...

Yu Yang decided to let his 67 brothers evacuate the brick kiln.

Then I handed this place over to the sisters-in-law at Sanyuan Canteen.

Of course, in terms of external publicity, brick kilns are still the core of Sanyuan Agriculture.

What kind of vegetable cultivation base?

What is a wild seed trial planting center?

What county-level scientific research project?

What is a pollution control demonstration zone?

These are all covered with banners and plaques.

Especially today, Lao Han and his team loaded the trucks and hung:

"Export to Russia!"

Going north to the northeast, isn't that just heading for Russia?

On the way, a big brother from Northeast China who loved hotpot snatched away all the food. There was nothing we could do!

After all, it's more chaotic over there than Shiliying.

11 o'clock in the morning.

The county supervisor arrived at the brick kiln in a brand new little red flag.

This time, Lao Han led the team to the north, Zhang Hai accompanied them, and the county supervisor and the county military department accompanied them.

The county supervisor looked up at the red flag on the big chimney, then at the emerald green brick kiln, and then at the words "Export to Russia".

"Xiao Yu."

"here I am."

"You know more about gimmicks than I do."

"Do you want to be on the TV news?"

The county supervisor thought about it and was about to deny it, but when he saw the ambitious township head, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll have someone open a foreign trade order. Your company will accept it. When we get to the Northeast, we can cancel the foreign trade order and switch from exports to domestic sales."

"The leader is thoughtful."

Yu Yang immediately picked up the small speaker and said, "Put on English labels and export to Russia!"

"Shouldn't we use Russian?" The old branch secretary who had come over at some point muttered something incomprehensible. "Does this look authentic?"

Everyone was surprised, "You can speak Russian?"

"I don't speak Russian, so I can't understand their tank maintenance manuals."
