Twenty years of cold chain

Hu Shutong's assertive performance in the meeting room directly reduced the subsequent discussion process within Pengcheng. Hu Shutong had already provided the most professional explanations for the key issues, and as long as the entire group recognized the value of these six sets of drawings, price would no longer be an obstacle.

The blueprints represent long-term technological application, bringing lasting benefits to Pengcheng. The three-stage cost theory is Hu Shutong's source of confidence, and it will also be Pengcheng's source of confidence. Many of Hu Shutong's remarks at the meeting can even be directly used by Pengcheng in its future presentations to clients.

Therefore, looking at it now, the price of Hu Shutong's drawings no longer seems outrageous. Six sets of drawings represent six different models, and Hu Shutong can provide more if needed in the future. Therefore, he didn't price them per set, but rather set a fixed price for the whole set.

One million.

When the meeting ended, Yu Ziyan stood up and looked at Hu Shutong with shining eyes.

"Mr. Hu, please don't take the blueprints with you."

"Regarding the timing..."

"Fully cooperate."

Sitting on the bus, his arm rested on the window sill, his hand supporting his chin. The grass, trees, and street scenes flashed by like a movie. He could barely see the real things in front of him; his mind was filled with the time that had just passed and his uncontrollable, lingering thoughts. Every now and then, he would see a faint smile on his face reflected in the glass.

But for a fleeting moment, it brought tears to his eyes.

When they met, Hu Shutong remembered the flowers, but seeing his smile, Luan Pingxin had completely forgotten about them. Dinner at the noodle shop, a spoonful of chili and a spoonful of vinegar, the peaceful beauty and happiness, the subtle sincerity and love, the promise in their eyes—that was the most touching ceremony, more reassuring than any vow of eternal love.

……

Hu Shutong's blueprints were intellectual property rights. Just like when Pengcheng invested in Weihui, it needed to go through third-party evaluation procedures and internal business processes within the group. Hu Shutong stayed at Mingyuan to follow up fully. All of this didn't take long; a week later, one million yuan was directly transferred from Pengcheng Construction to Tongxing's account.

At the same time, the entire Tongxing was like it had been put on "fast forward"!

At this moment, Su Mu, who was in charge of Tongxing, was so excited that his whole body trembled. He knew all too well how hard it had been to receive this news. Tongxing could have just looked after itself, and everything would surely have turned out well. Tongxing was so short of money, yet it insisted on taking on so many responsibilities. And in the end, it really did manage to do it!

That very night, he announced Hu Shutong's demands.

Tongxing's various departments split into three groups and set off according to Hu Shutong's instructions!

A group of people followed up on the national reserve meat bidding process, compiling a plan outlining the storage capacity, refrigeration equipment, and management regulations, and submitted Tongxing's qualifications to the relevant departments with the highest industry standards!

A group of people began to introduce a meat processing assembly line, with a complete set of equipment for slaughtering, cutting, conveying, and packaging to be completed within a month! Tongxing's processing area was then fully taken over by the meat processing company, and a series of applications, such as quarantine and production certificates, were promptly followed up!

Another group of people started working on the assembly library cluster!

The assembly library cluster is Hu Shutong's solution!

Tongxing didn't have time to build any more warehouses. In order to get the national meat reserves, they had to free up one warehouse, and Hu Shutong ultimately chose aquatic products for this freed-up warehouse. He decided to build a row of 1,000-ton prefabricated warehouses, dedicated to the cold storage of Panzhu fish and shrimp, making it an independent area so as not to disrupt the overall operation. These prefabricated warehouses were also the main source of the cost.

Almost simultaneously, Hu Shutong's reassurance was delivered to Zeng Zhaoda. Zeng Zhaoda clenched his fist, a surge of immense determination coursing through him! With such a strong leader among his comrades, there was no reason not to follow his resolute path! This more detailed cold storage renovation plan was now free of any worries, restoring a healthy meat market to Qingyan, clearing away the cumbersome cold storage facilities, and it was time to move forward with determination!

Towards spring.

As the season turns towards spring, so should our hearts and minds!

Along the green corridor of Qingpan, refrigerated trucks from Tongxing come and go, cucumbers and bean sprouts from Qingyan appear on the tables of Panzhu, and sea fish and shrimp from Panzhu are becoming the signature products of the three major markets. People simply feel that there are more choices and the fish and vegetables are very fresh, but those in the cold chain industry should remember these moments.

The vegetable vendors in the five counties north of the city became more harmonious. It is unknown when, but people not only accepted and recognized Tongxing, but also started to get together with the drivers, squatting in front of their truck wheels to smoke and chat. Your truck is full, and mine is full.

Soon after, the processing line tested the first batch of pre-processed meat products, and people suddenly realized that Tong Hsing had gained another powerful tool! They also realized, belatedly, that this large-scale investment was not only a response to the present, but also a way to create the future!

Master Long would always come over to check on his garlic. When he hadn't seen Hu Shutong for a long time, he would sneakily probe the employees, feeling empty if he didn't find out something.

Old Luan realized that if some of the fruit could be directly sold through Tongxing, the combined storage and sales would allow it to reach even further destinations and fetch higher prices. Therefore, allocating a portion of the supply to Tongxing as a supplier was a worthwhile business. Besides, if Li Shenglong could use entire warehouses, Old Luan could easily secure one or two warehouses with his connections. He first called his girlfriend to test the waters, but she told him not to cause trouble at this time. Frustrated, he went to find Old Hu with some wine to relieve his boredom.

This year has been very busy.

This is Hu Shutong's second year on his entrepreneurial journey. He can see every step of the way. At the beginning of the year, he was still running through the green channel. Later, when Tongxing Park opened, he had to compete with others. He witnessed the lowest point of Qingyan Meat Industry, which also made him more determined.

That year, he completely changed himself. He was no longer a pure technologist; he had to find ways to get loans and raise funds to the best of his ability to keep Tongxing moving forward.

The coming year is destined to be even more extraordinary.

The cold chain industry is surging forward with the times, and the industry is advancing with the general trend.

Under the backbone of a great power, let the world see our momentum!

Because what is coming is—

The first year of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan"!

I've loved cold chain logistics for twenty years.
