Returning to the mountain village, starting with mushroom picking to get rich

Upon hearing that Yang Lin intended to target the Duzhuan Trade Group, everyone's expressions tightened.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

In Nanzhao, the Duzhuan Trading Group was a behemoth.

Its businesses cover many important sectors, including agricultural products, light industrial chemicals, building materials, clothing, and real estate, and it has a great influence in Nanzhao.

For example, within their Wuyou County, there is a commercial street controlled by the Duzhuan Group.

With the cooperation and collaboration among various industries and the support of capital, the enterprises and companies under the Duzhuan Commerce Group rarely suffer defeats in market competition.

Fengshou Biotechnology is both a subsidiary of its group and the first edible fungus enterprise in Nanzhao to carry out industrialization.

Having operated in Nanzhao for ten years, it is deeply rooted and occupies almost 40% of the mushroom market in the province.

It is an important source of revenue for the group's agricultural sector.

If Fengshou Bio encounters operational problems, the Duzhuan Trading Group behind it will certainly intervene.

"What, are you scared?"

Yang Lin asked in a cold voice, and sales manager Wang Meng immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

"Our sales department fights tough battles and tackles the toughest challenges."

"Don't worry, boss. As long as the company is willing to lower the price of the mushroom spawn to one dollar and the logistics and production capacity can keep up, no matter what kind of group it is, I guarantee I'll break down all their defenses!" Wang Meng patted his chest and guaranteed.

"With our current production lines, we can only provide a maximum of 20% of the market share in the province. If we want to use our technological advantages to occupy the local market, the company's production scale needs to be expanded by at least five times," said Liu Jian, the workshop director.

If production capacity cannot keep up, it will be unable to cover the entire domestic market.

Therefore, their price reduction is not very meaningful.

Because once some of the mushroom farmers have bought up all their spawn, the company will not be able to produce any more spawn, leaving the later farmers with no spawn to buy.

At that time, if mushroom farmers want to continue production, they will have no choice but to buy expensive mushroom spawn from other farmers.

In this way, their company's price reduction, apart from gaining a good reputation and losing its own profits, cannot shake the market at all.

Soon, HR manager Huang Shanshan pointed out the problem on her end:

"If we were to expand fivefold, the local labor market might not be able to find that many employees. General workers are relatively easy to find, but there is a shortage of people for some specialized and technical positions..."

"I might be able to solve this problem," General Manager Su Rong, who was listening to everyone's opinions, suddenly said.

"Boss, do you remember my previous company?"

Su Rong said.

Her previous company was once the largest edible fungus company in Zixu City.

In the edible fungi strain market, it once rivaled Fengshou Biotechnology, and at its peak, it even slightly surpassed Fengshou Biotechnology.

However, her former employer gradually weakened in subsequent business operations, with profits declining year by year, eventually leading to corporate losses.

Unable to compete with its former employer in external markets, the company shifted its focus and pressure onto its internal employees.

They vigorously pursued cost reduction and efficiency improvement, were subservient to foreign entities, enforced strict attendance policies internally, and used various fines and salary reduction measures.

This forces employees to resign voluntarily, thus avoiding compensation.

It was during that period that Su Rong switched jobs to Yang Lin's startup.

Later, Yang Lin offered incentives that led Su Rong to bring most of her former employer's clients to Xianglong Company.

Operating losses, key personnel leaving, and the last remaining customers being poached...

The already difficult situation of Zixu City Company has become even worse.

According to Su Rong's recent understanding, people at her former employer no longer have time to criticize her for taking clients with her after switching jobs.

Because their company is preparing for bankruptcy liquidation, the employees are busy looking for a way out.

"If the boss trusts me, I can poach all their people and production equipment to the company."

"Yes, that's indeed a quick way to expand." Yang Lin nodded.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

He was once a working-class person himself, so he understands the plight of working-class people.

Normal job hopping should not be subject to discrimination.

Moreover, he doesn't need to worry about employee loyalty.

The company's core technology is his special ability.

Instead of the disease-resistant bacteria that people assumed.

There's absolutely no need to worry about secrets being stolen.

Even if a corporate spy infiltrates and other companies find out, they might be preparing to seize the market with low prices.

It's impossible for competitors to reduce the price of high-quality inoculation sticks to below one yuan.

At the same price, Yang Lin can make a profit, while other companies can only lose money; it's an unsolvable problem.

Even with financial backing and spending money to prolong their lives, Yang Lin is the only one destined to last.

Moreover, once inside the company, Yang Lin could distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous.

There's no need to worry about people mixing.

With Yang Lin's approval, everyone's enthusiasm increased significantly.

People kept raising questions, and people kept discussing how to solve them.

Two and a half hours later, the meeting reached a conclusion.

The construction of the factory and production lines will not be completed and put into operation until next spring at the earliest.

However, during this period, the company's production capacity was insufficient to cover the market demand in Nanzhao Province.

However, covering two cities is not a problem.

In addition to the local fictitious city, they can also choose another city as a pilot city.

Let the mushroom farmers know that the company is selling high-quality mushroom spawn at reasonable prices.

This allows the company to build goodwill in advance.

This also caused dissatisfaction among mushroom farmers who, unable to purchase the company's products, had to buy spawn from other sources at high prices, leading to resentment towards other companies.

When the company completes its expansion next spring, its production line, now six times larger, will be operating at full capacity to provide sufficient strains to the Nanzhao market.

Those mushroom farmers who have long harbored resentment over the high-priced mushroom strains will immediately turn against their company.

"We would like to request that Mr. Yang designate a specific demonstration city," the group said.

Yang Lin thought for a moment and then asked, "I heard that a mushroom production base with a scale of over a thousand acres has been built in Xuanwu City next door. How much do you know about it?"

"Mr. Yang, I know that," Sales Manager Wang Meng replied immediately.

Hongdu Ecological Company in Xuanwu City was built with investment from Duzhuan Group.

Duzhuan Group has three main business segments in the edible fungi industry.

Fengshou Biotechnology, responsible for the research and development and production of microbial strains, Xindu Specialty Products, which focuses on the collection and sales channels, and industrial bases scattered in various places for basic production.

The three sectors are nominally legal entities and independent of each other, but their relationship with the Duzhuan Group is similar to that between Sun Cheng's forest farm and Xianglong Company; in reality, they are all one family.

Hongdu Ecology is the latest and largest of all the production bases built by the Duzhuan Group.

All indications suggest that the Duzhuan Group attaches great importance to the edible fungus market in Xuanwu City.

"very good!"

Upon hearing Wang Meng's report, Yang Lin waved his hand and exclaimed "Good!"

"Since the business people have already done the market research for us, let's place our next market in Xuanwu City."

"First, we'll build one of our production bases in the town next to Hongdu Ecology."

"Then find out where all the mushroom farmers in Xuanwu City are using Harvest Biotechnology, and help a new mushroom farmer grow up next door to them..."
