Chapter 664 A Towering Building Rises From the Ground (1/2)

Li Duoyu did not intend to teach the whole set of salted kelp production process to the kelp farmers in the village.

Although kelp silk is simple to make, there is a very important problem, that is, the preservation process.

There is no cold storage on the island, so the salted kelp cannot be preserved. Once it is not preserved, it will cause the salted kelp to rot.

If they are taught too early, the promotion of new products may not be a good thing. If some people produce unqualified salted kelp, it will affect the promotion of new products.

Of course, Li Duoyu is not a great good man. When there is a good thing, he will think about the villagers. Of course, he must make money first.

Wusi Road, Rongcheng.

On the fifteenth floor of a newly built landmark building, there is a company of about 200 square meters.

There is a sign of [Minlong Distribution Company] hanging at the door. There are several offices inside, and a large tea table is placed in the lobby.

The office with the general manager's sign has always been empty, but the configuration inside is quite high-end.

There are not only two bookcases, but also many large books, such as "Cihai" and "Dream of Red Mansions". In the office, there is also a high-end nanmu desk and a cowhide boss chair.

There are not many employees in the office, only about ten people, most of them are women.

They have been working here for more than two months, and they have not seen the general manager come to the company so far.

Although the company is not very big, the configuration is super luxurious, and almost every two workstations are equipped with a phone.

Although the company has just opened for a short time, the phone rings very frequently. As the ringing sounded, a female staff member with a sweet voice picked up the phone and listened to the other party.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, for shrimp seedlings, you may have to wait another month. When the time comes, we will notify you as soon as possible when you can get the seedlings."

Xiaolin in the office has been so comfortable these days, and there are beautiful women outside the glass window.

He loves his master so much. Knowing that he is still single, he recruited so many beautiful girls. He used to be late for work, but now he is early almost every day.

But at this moment, he was startled by the ringing of the phone on the table while he was sitting with his legs crossed and humming a song.

There were only a few people who would make this call. Not long after Xiao Lin answered the phone, he hurriedly shouted to his master: "Boss, the general manager said that he would come to us in the afternoon."

An Yuliang replied: "Did the general manager say what time he would arrive?"

"I forgot to ask."

An Yuliang looked at him speechlessly: "If he didn't ask, let's wait downstairs from 1:30 in the afternoon."

Xiao Lin really wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he forget to ask the time? Now he could only wait downstairs.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Duoyu drove the Crown car to this new landmark building.

There were flags of several countries at the door, and almost all the cars parked were luxury cars. It can be said that those who can open a company here must be powerful, of course, except for scam companies.

Seeing that it was Li Duoyu who was driving, An Yuliang hurried over to him: "Mr. Li, let me help you park the car."

"I can do it myself."

Seeing that Li Duoyu parked the car by himself, An Yuliang looked at Xiaolin with disdain. This kid still hasn't learned to drive well.

"Hurry up and take the driver's license test. If you encounter this kind of situation in the future, be smart, okay?"

Xiaolin glanced at Chen Wenchao who was sitting in the back seat of the car and muttered: "Brother Chao doesn't know how to drive either."

An Yuliang couldn't help but kick him directly: "Xiaochao is too busy to learn to drive. Give me the driver's license by the end of the year. Did you hear me?"

Xiaolin:. Li Duoyu followed Manager An to the branch he opened. To be honest, it was really his first time here.

After negotiating with Manager An, he directly allocated 150,000 yuan of funds from the company and asked him to set up a distribution company.

Now the sales system and breeding system of Minlong are separated, and the distribution is currently in charge of Manager An.

When Li Duoyu arrived at the company, he found that most of the employees were young girls, and they were lined up in a row. After seeing Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao, they said respectfully: "Hello, General Manager, Hello, Mr. Chen."

Li Duoyu was somewhat mentally prepared. When recruiting people, An Yuliang had discussed with him and said that women would have a greater advantage in the distribution industry, so the proportion of female employees was relatively high.

Their work was more like a combination of telephone sales and customer service, and they were responsible for both sales and after-sales.

Chen Wenchao, who had never seen such a scene, blushed to the root of his neck when he was called by so many beautiful girls. He became unnatural and did not dare to look at them directly. Instead, he walked with his head down.

Li Duoyu replied calmly: "Don't do this next time, go back to work."

Li Duoyu followed An Yuliang to his office. Although Manager An said that he still had to show his face, this was too much.

But Li Duoyu also understood that the most important thing in the sales industry is packaging. To put it bluntly, if you don't package the same product well, others won't even look at it twice.

"This office is well decorated."

Li Duoyu sat on the boss chair made of top-layer cowhide. At this moment, he finally felt like a boss.

Not long after, Chen Wenchao took out three bottles of glass cans from the cloth bag he carried with him.

The cans contained pickled kelp shreds. After seeing this, An Yuliang immediately asked, "Mr. Li, are these cans new products?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Today I came here mainly to give you new products to try and see your opinions."

Xiao Lin, who was always despised, took the lead this time and said: "Mr. Li, I'll try it first."

An Yuliang said disdainfully: "With your mouth, you scream when it's a little spicy, there's no way you can eat it."

Xiao Lin looked aggrieved.

If you are not active, you will be scolded, and if you are active, you will be despised again. I always feel that everything I do is wrong.

An Yuliang took chopsticks and tried the kelp shreds in three glass jars, and his face was a little surprised.

"Mr. Li, there are three flavors?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Manager An, which flavor of these three kelp shreds do you think is more suitable for promotion in our coastal areas?"

An Yuliang didn't even think about it, pointing to the middle can and said, "This taste is good, a little spicy but not too spicy, and it tastes very fragrant. It's good with porridge, rice or wine."

Li Duoyu nodded. In fact, he knew the taste of coastal areas very well. Under normal circumstances, they are salty, and they will eat spicy but not too much, and the main focus is on the word "fragrant".

An Yuliang smiled and pointed to the first can and said, "Mr. Li, this can doesn't look like it will be sold in our province."

Li Duoyu nodded. It was indeed easy to work with smart people. He made a total of three series this time.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });

One is a series of chili peppers for mainlanders, the other is for locals, and the last one is a ready-to-eat kelp shreds, which are more flavorful if pickled, but have a longer shelf life.

After An Yuliang finished eating the kelp shreds, Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "Manager An, do you think my kelp shreds can be compared with pickled mustard tuber?"

After hearing this, An Yuliang's half-closed eyes suddenly widened a few points. During the time he traveled all over the country, he had always been optimistic about the pickled tuber product.

The sales of this thing have always been very good. It can be said that it is the best-selling product in this era. Whether in the city or in the countryside, the demand is very large.

But in contrast, the competition is also fierce. Almost every province has its own brand of pickled mustard tuber. Fujian Province has Xiapu pickled mustard tuber, the neighboring province has Little White Rabbit and Xieqiao pickled mustard tuber, and the mainland also has Fuling and so on.

An Yuliang never thought that his boss would ask such a question. He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I can't guarantee this to you. Whether some things are good or not is not up to us. It depends on the market reaction."

Li Duoyu knocked on the table and then said, "I have already started production here. Let's distribute the goods first in our province. Just like you said, let's see the market reaction first. If it's good, we will go abroad."

An Yuliang replied, "Mr. Li, please rest assured that within half a month, all the channels in the province will be paved for you."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu was stunned. This sentence sounds simple, but for a boss, there is no more pleasant sound than this.

"Manager An, thank you for your hard work!"

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he then said: "By the way, when you are free, I will also hand over the food packaging to you. I plan to directly purchase imported equipment.

When the time comes, I will contact you, and you can go to the island country to connect with the people there and bring back the quotation. If it is suitable, we will directly use the imported equipment."

Although there are equipment in China, this kind of thing will soon be eliminated. Li Duoyu thinks it is better to do it in one step.

Xiao Lin, who was silent on the side, stared with his eyes wide open, and his heart beat faster.

Is the boss sent abroad?

When the time comes, will he take me with him? In this way, I can also "travel at public expense".

When he was still in the United Distribution Company, Li Xiuqing was sent abroad for inspection, and he was almost envious.

Manager An asked back: "Mr. Li, won't we go together then?"

Li Duoyu sighed and said: "Next, there are things like kelp harvesting and shrimp seedlings. I may be busy and have no time to go abroad."

"I understand."

Li Duoyu still has many ideas, but he didn't tell Manager An that the reason why he introduced advanced packaging equipment from abroad at the beginning.

It is paving the way for fresh logistics. Fresh logistics is what restricts the development of seafood. As long as seafood is transported to the mainland relatively intact.

Then the sales of seafood will be wider. At present, only dried seafood can be sold to the mainland. Fresh seafood is almost unavailable in the mainland, and frozen shrimp is very rare.

In order to break this situation, Li Duoyu must do two things. One is better food packaging.

The other is cold chain logistics.

The former is easier to solve, and imported equipment can solve it. The latter cold chain logistics requires a lot of investment.

At present, the cost of an imported cold chain logistics vehicle can make the current Minlong Company work for nothing for two or three months.

In this era of economic explosion, Minlong seems to be making a lot of money, but in fact it is not that powerful.

Although Lin Akuan from the next county only deals in sugar, the demand for that strategic material is very high.

The profits are much higher than those of them engaged in breeding, and it has also inspired surrounding towns and villages to plant sugar cane. The overall economic boost is not much worse than theirs.

As for the electronic workshops in southern Fujian, they are just like mushrooms after a rain.

If the organization hadn't deliberately cultivated him and appeared more often, compared to these real big guys, his Minlong would really be underwhelming.

To put it bluntly, not even Chen Yuanyou’s Sanyuan Group can beat it, let alone the mainstream electronics industry.

Li Duoyu stood in his office and looked into the distance, but the scene not far downstairs made him feel a little dazed.

In the future core area of ​​Rongcheng, there are actually many vegetable fields and ponds behind the buildings on both sides of the street.

Seeing this, Li Duoyu said to Manager An: "Help me make a calligraphy painting when you have time."

After hearing this, An Yuliang suddenly became interested and said, "I happen to know the president of the Calligraphers Association. I can ask him to help me write whatever words Mr. Li wants to write."

"Tall buildings are rising from the ground!"——One week later.

With the simultaneous efforts of Xinyuan Group and Manager An through bilateral channels, a product called [Minlong Kelp Silk] quickly became popular in Fujian Province.

At the Rongcheng Farmers Market, as soon as the kelp silk was put up, it was sold out immediately.

The newspaper had a full page full of advertisements for Minlong Kelp Silk.

Even the local TV station aired an advertisement. It was very simple, just one sentence: Minlong kelp silk is delicious! In the past, when people prepared meals, they always liked to get some cooked dried fish and pickled mustard, but since the emergence of shredded kelp.

I don’t know why, but it has become a trend. Before eating, many children can’t help but ask: “Is there any kelp silk?”

Even Rongcheng Courtyard has this dish. Secretary Huang, who came to the cafeteria to prepare food, smiled and said: "Boss, this new kelp shreds are good, you should try it."

The big leader said disgustedly: "TV and newspapers are its advertisements."

"Did Duoyu bring these kelp shreds in our canteen?"

Huang Qingfeng nodded.

"Tell him not to do these things, and to develop well and strive to expand the scale of the enterprise is the real thing."

Huang Qingfeng smiled and said: "Duoyu told me that in addition to being packaged in cans, it will also be the same as pickled mustard."

The big leader was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "There are quite a lot of clever ideas. If this is the case, we have to support him more. Ask him if he needs any help when he has time."

Huang Qingfeng shook his head and said: "It's different. We can't help now even if we want to. They are not short of money now. Nearly four thousand acres of kelp will be harvested soon. In addition, kelp silk is very popular recently. I don't know. How much money will it make?"

The leader snorted: "You make too much, why don't you pay some taxes?"

Huang Qingfeng smiled and said: "This is an emerging industry. The tax on seafood has not yet been determined. It is already good that his industry does not receive subsidies from us."

The leader frowned slightly: "It feels a bit unfair. We all collect taxes on those fruit farmers and rice farmers, but why are there no taxes on seafood?"

Huang Qingfeng smiled and said: "How about I raise this tax at the next meeting and see how it is dealt with."

The leader shook his head: "Forget it. It's just the beginning now, so don't dampen his enthusiasm. The tax burden has already made farmers crazy. If we just start picking peaches now, I'll Not to be scolded to death.”
