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

"How can I sell edible mushroom spawn? I need an answer online, it's urgent."

After leaving Shunxin Driving School, Yang Lin found an internet cafe in the county and started asking around on forums.

Don't ask, don't know, I'm startled when I ask.

Soon, Yang Lin also learned from the internet that selling his mushroom spawn to the village's collective cooperative was not as easy as he had imagined.

Unlike selling shiitake mushrooms directly, shiitake mushrooms are classified as agricultural products.

Farmers can sell their own produce without needing any business license.

Even if Yang Lin's production scale is larger, it won't have much of an impact.

However, the strains are different; strains are also a type of national seed resource.

Subject to strict control under national seed management regulations.

Only by obtaining the "Edible Fungus Spawn Production and Operation License" can one engage in the corresponding activities.

Even if you don't produce microbial strains but only sell them, you still need to register with the agricultural bureau to obtain a sales permit.

To pass the registration process, wild mushrooms of unknown origin are obviously not acceptable; they must be obtained from institutions with production and operation licenses to successfully pass the registration.

Without a permit or registration, if it's just a small-scale operation of providing mushroom spawn to a few villagers and acquaintances, no one would bother with such a trivial matter.

However, the cooperative in Qingshan Village is clearly planning to develop the under-forest economy on a large scale, including the cultivation of mushrooms under the forest canopy.

Once they develop the area, the village's purchasing volume will be substantial.

Not to mention that the cooperative is backed by poverty alleviation funds provided by the government.

The government's supervision and management will only increase, not decrease.

The source of the microbial strain is definitely a must-check item.

Secret, clandestine transactions are definitely not going to work.

Otherwise, even if there were no problems with the mushroom spawn he sold to the village chief, and the cooperative successfully made a profit and Qingshan Village escaped poverty,

Using unlicensed "black fungus strains" can also cause considerable trouble.

"For me right now, the production license for the microbial strain is indeed an obstacle, but... it's also an opportunity!"

As Yang Lin browsed the information online, a spark of hope gradually rose in his heart.

Now, he has even developed all 800 acres of mountain forest he owns.

At best, they are just large-scale mushroom growers; they have no chance of defying social rules.

The production license for microbial strains is indeed a hurdle, but as long as he overcomes this hurdle, for example by opening a company and obtaining the license for that company.

In the future, the strains of bacteria that I created can be regarded as the company's research results.

They openly and legitimately produced the bacterial strains in the name of the company.

Then the strains are sold all over the country and even all over the world.

To allow mycelium to take root and flourish all over the world.

Let his perception reach the entire globe.

The benefits behind this are not simply a single business deal in Qingshan Village.

"That's decided!"

"I want to start a company!"

The thought of my mycelium having the potential to bloom everywhere and cover the entire world is incredibly exciting.

Yang Lin's passion grew even stronger, and he slammed his fist on the table in the internet cafe.

"So, how do I obtain a production license?"

After sitting down again, Yang Lin continued typing on the keyboard, carefully researching various materials online.

Similar questions have been asked before.

Every year, many people enter the edible fungi industry in order to obtain a license to produce and sell mushroom strains.

The answers summarized by netizens over the years are varied and diverse.

There are both serious and unserious ones.

However, there are basically only three common methods.

The quickest way is to find a company with the necessary licenses and qualifications to partner with.

They bribed the company to repackage their "black fungus strain" under the company's brand and sell it.

This kind of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) operation is being done by many unscrupulous companies.

"A true man should not remain subservient to others for long!"

Yang Lin decisively shook his head, immediately rejecting this approach.

With external assistance, his goal is to reach the entire world and create the world's best mushroom brand.

Such underhanded tricks are unacceptable.

The remaining two feasible options are: one is to acquire a company that has the necessary licenses.

This method carries certain risks.

Because companies that end up being sold or transferred usually have some problems.

The licenses and qualifications for producing microbial strains are not some kind of magic ticket or get-out-of-jail-free card.

Once the company is successfully acquired, resulting in a change of the company's legal entity, the superior department will conduct an investigation into the licensed entity.

Verify whether the company after the change meets the requirements for obtaining the license.

If the review fails, the license and qualification will be revoked, and it will become very difficult to reapply.

Another option is to establish a new company and apply for your own microbial strain production and operation license.

This method is the safest, taking it one step at a time.

The only drawback is that it takes a relatively long time.

Starting a company takes time, and applying for and obtaining licenses takes even more time.

After a while, he'll have to wait until at least next year.

So after much deliberation, Yang Lin finally decided to acquire a company.

……

"Your balance is insufficient. Please top up your account promptly."

Time passed slowly, and Yang Lin searched for a lot of company transfer information online. However, he still couldn't find a suitable company before his internet fee was almost used up.

The options he could find online were either unqualified or only involved the transfer of partial equity, which did not align with his vision.

After leaving a large reward on the forum, Yang Lin shut down his computer, left the internet cafe, and rode his bicycle back to Qingshan Village.

Upon seeing Yang Lin return, the village chief and a group of villagers from Qingshan Village gathered around him.

He kept asking Yang Lin questions about fungal strains.

They had all heard that Yang Lin was willing to resell the bacterial strains he used to them.

Although they didn't know how much money Yang Lin would make from it, they had seen Yang Lin's forest farm and heard many cases of bosses failing in their cultivation, so they didn't dare to buy mushroom spawn from outside and could only try to curry favor with Yang Lin for the time being.

We need to find out the source of the bacteria from Yang Lin.

"Don't rush, don't rush..."

"Don't worry, everyone. We'll have the mushroom spawn. The most important thing now is to clear out the forest. Otherwise, if you buy the spawn, you won't have anywhere to store it, and it will spoil."

After much persuasion and calming down the villagers, Yang Lin finally managed to return to his residence.

In the following days, the villagers indeed focused on tidying up the mountain forest and did not disturb Yang Lin again.

Yang Lin also started a new round of production, preparing raw materials for sites No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4, with a plan to produce about 300 tons of shiitake mushrooms.

To prepare a certain amount of funds in advance for the company's upcoming acquisition plans.

With three production sites opened in succession, the original manpower was naturally insufficient.

To this end, Yang Lin hired about twenty hardworking and honest impoverished people from several neighboring villages to help him take care of the forest farm.

Several more tricycles were added from the town to make it easier for employees to carry out their work.

It is worth mentioning that, because they had already made a name for themselves, this round of straw purchasing tasks suddenly became much easier.

Yang Lin put up a sign at the entrance of the forest farm: 380 yuan per ton of straw.

Many villagers in the surrounding area voluntarily sold their useless straw to Yang Lin.

Truck drivers from several nearby towns, unable to find orders, simply became middlemen, helping Yang Lin buy straw in the countryside and then resell it to the forest farm at the price difference.
