Chapter 78 Difficulties, Investment, and Exploitation
Everyone came to the door of the conference room. Tang Xin, as the master, reached out to invite the leaders of Qingxi Town to go in first. The mayor Zhang Feng felt ashamed and forced a smile at Tang Xin and walked in first. As the other party entered the conference room and sat down, Tang Xin glanced at Hongxin's staff and suddenly found a redundant person.
"What are you doing here?"
Tang Xiao, who was standing at the end of the crowd, looked embarrassed and explained with a bitter face: "I'm on vacation and want to come here to study. Sister He opened the back door for me. She said as long as I don't affect my work, uncle, why don't I leave first?"
The New Year is about to be celebrated, and Tang Xiao did not go around, but instead came to Hongxin to learn and learn.
As soon as he opened his mouth, He Yan felt a headache.
Call her sister and Tang Xin and Uncle.
What's more, she is two years older than Tang Xin.
It's really unbearable.
"We have a meeting here, you can leave first, don't wander around. Some floors are not something that everyone can go to. If you are caught by the security guard, you should consider it yourself."
He Yan said casually to Tang Xiao, and Tang Xiao planned to leave.
To avoid delaying my uncle's business.
"Hey, wait. Since you are here, come in together. Don't think that meetings are ulterior motives. We don't talk about national affairs, just behave properly."
Tang Xin waved his hand and kept Tang Xiao behind, then walked into the conference room.
Everyone sat down and the conference room door closed.
The leaders of Qingxi Town Government were up and down.
I was afraid that Hongxin would terminate the cooperation.
After all, some varieties of vegetables were unqualified. Hongxin gave a legitimate reason to end the agreement between the two parties.
Tang Xin sat sideways in the main seat, with the person facing Zhang Feng, and asked softly: "Mayor Zhang, I didn't know about it before, but now I want to hear about your work and how it works. I'm not asking for advice, I just understand it."
Zhang Feng cleared his throat and found that everyone was looking at him. He was a little nervous. After a while, he said, "Our town government is just a bridge. In name, we cooperated with your company. We took the order for agricultural and sideline products and transferred it to the self-employed in the town. I hope you can understand the situation in our town. It is not easy for farmers to live on the land. Some families are suffering. They think of ways to reduce costs and increase production, feed feed, fertilizer and pesticides. There are indeed situations where corners are cut or seedlings are being pulled for growth."
Tang Xin nodded with a plain expression. He turned his head to Liu Ye and asked, "What is the unqualified person?"
Liu Ye opened the folder at hand. These were the inspection reports given to him directly by the institute. Without further details, he roughly introduced the situation: "Among more than 30 kinds of vegetables tested, six of which failed, and there were problems with the chicken..."
The leaders of the town government lowered their heads in shame, and while they were ashamed, they were sweating coldly.
Bai Zijie looked directly at Tang Xin and said, "Dong Tang. When we go back, we will definitely review our work and will check our quality inspection. I hope you will not terminate our contract."
"Abort? I'll stop the contract with you, and I'll find the next one? Haha, don't be nervous. Who asked your products to be given to a group of people engaged in scientific research? Or scientists who specialize in life safety? Isn't this a gun?"
Tang Xin said with a smile.
His smile made everyone in the conference room stunned.
But the next second, everyone suddenly realized.
Who can guarantee that the food I have eaten in the past twenty years is completely pollution-free and 100% safe?
Even the country spent 1 billion to inspect the water quality across the country for three years, but the results were not announced. Why? If the results are fine, it will make the people not worry, so why not announce them?
But I haven't heard of drinking water and drinking it to death.
Chemical standards are not an immediate standard after all.
The degree of harm to health and death is very different.
If Hongxin ends its cooperation with Qingxi Town and turns to another supplier, how different will the result be?
Anyway, Tang Xin believes that if all suppliers in the city and the province are randomly inspected, many of the products will probably be burned.
"As producers, they have been pursuing costs since ancient times, and I am not accusing farmers of being irresponsible. The poultry they grow themselves must be eating, but when they meet scientists at our research base, they cannot be said to have high requirements and prevent problems from happening. It is understandable that they are nervous. Wait a minute, I will take a look at the solution of a manager."
Tang Xin opened the plan report submitted by Tong Zhengrong.
Tong Zhengrong’s plan is relatively simple. If you build a quality supervision department, you can continue to cooperate with Qingxi Town. However, if there are still unqualified products in the future, you can only change partners and use bidding to find suppliers.
"Zhengrong was still a little stingy and asked me for money. So that's how it was."
Tang Xin put his plan under his command and was not ready to adopt it.
"Qingxi Town is responsible for supplying agricultural and sideline products, which solves the living problems of how many of our people?"
Tang Xin suddenly turned his head and asked He Yan.
He Yan thought deeply and said, "About 20,000 people. More than 13,000 people in the medical research base and more than 4,000 people in the scientific research base. Adding to Hongxin headquarters, all the employees are almost this number."
Just counting 20,000 people, if the average daily meal cost per person is 20 yuan, then it will be 400,000 yuan per day, and it will be about 150 million yuan a year.
It is not difficult to understand why the Qingxi Town Government is so nervous.
Although they cannot make 150 million yuan a year, it is fine to deduct costs and taxes, tens of millions are fine, which can increase the income of the people in the town a lot.
Tang Xin asked again: "Fengya Group now has staff restaurants, including Tiansheng Real Estate, Baihe Hospital, etc. In terms of catering, it is actually just Tianhai. We have to take care of at least 40,000 people, right?"
"The specific numbers need to be counted, but the difference is not too far."
He Yan's answer made Tang Xin fall into deep thought, and everyone stared at him with their breath.
A few minutes later, Tang Xin raised his head and looked at Qiu Qiang, saying, "Can we bookmark the land for agricultural production by ourselves?"
Qiu Qiang looked strange and said, "In theory, as long as we don't break the law, what can't we do?"
"That's fine. Things are simple. We pack the fields and produce the vegetables we eat, rice we eat, noodles we eat, fruit we eat, and chickens, ducks and fish we eat. This province is not suitable for animal husbandry. So we can travel to the north and raise cattle and sheep in a pasture. In this way, we can drink safe milk, haha."
Tang Xin laughed after he said that.
No one else laughed. He looked at Tang Xin with a look of looking at the monster.
"You're serious?"
He Yan asked with a frown.
Tang Xin spread his hands and said, "Why does it sound like a fake?"
“Just to ensure food safety?”
"Is this a trivial matter? If you don't even feel at ease with what you eat, do you still have the heart to work?"
Tang Xin's smile was restrained and his eyes stared at He Yan with a faint look. She immediately shut up.
I understand.
What he said was true.
No joke!
"Dr. Tang, are you going to stop our cooperation?"
Zhang Feng's face showed bitterness, and the other party's words made him feel as if the sky had fallen.
"Who said? My general idea is this. Our cooperation continues, but in another way, there is a large area of agricultural land in the south of Qingxi Town, and I contract one. There is an agricultural park there to supply the restaurants of all the subsidiaries of Hongxin Group. Secondly, the nearby mountains and forests also include a piece of fruits, a farm, a fishing ground, and a ranch in the north. It has nothing to do with you."
Zhang Feng frowned and turned his face to discuss with Bai Zijie, and asked in a low voice: "Zijie. Can you figure out the accounts clearly?"
Calculate the accounts?
It's about to settle the accounts.
Bai Zijie was quick-minded and instantly thought of the key point.
Hongxin Group wants to contract land and produce in Qingxi Town, which is a good thing, and the town government will definitely have income. But this is competing for profit with the people, and Hongxin builds its own agricultural park. Then the farmers lose a big customer.
This account may be beautiful on the official account, but Bai Zijie is not optimistic and is reluctant to do such a transaction.
"Dr. Tang, our town used to subcontract orders to farmers in the town. Your company now has to do its own production, which makes our work very difficult."
Bai Zijie deeply understood that the town government serves the people of the town, and the land is for the town government, and the income is for the town government. On the contrary, the living space of agricultural producers will be squeezed.
The leaders of other towns didn't think so much. When they saw that Bai Zijie seemed to be bargaining, many people covered their mouths and coughed.
Don't annoy each other.
If you don’t come to the town to book land, it will be a big loss.
Tang Xin understood Bai Zijie's concerns and smiled and said, "I want to build these orchards, agricultural parks, fishing grounds, and breeding grounds. Should I hire people? Are there people with experience in your town unwilling? Before, they produced and sold them to Hongxin. Now, they work for Hongxin, and their relationship has changed, but the rewards should be more than before."
He turned his head, looked at He Yan, and said, "Remember, these investments are considered Hongxin's infrastructure, but it cannot just solve the catering problems of our insiders. Say hello to Situ and Zhengrong. Since an agricultural park is built here, we will set up an agricultural science and technology department by the way, experiments, seedling breeding, production technology innovation, etc., which can be carried out."
He Yan carefully wrote down the key points.
Zhang Feng was old and his mind was not turning fast enough. When he found Bai Zijie smiling, he asked in a low voice: "Zijie, how good is this to our town?"
Bai Zijie whispered: "Think about it, if our town becomes an agricultural model, or if Hongxin Agricultural research has achieved results, then in our region, who will benefit first?"
Zhang Feng narrowed his eyes and thought, nodded and said, "Of course it's good."
"Mayor Zhang, I will ask Liu Ye to follow up on the new cooperation methods and agreements. As for the previous failure of vegetables and chicken, I don't have to take it seriously."
After Tang Xin finished speaking, he looked at the time and found that it was noon, so he said, "Let's have a meal together at noon."
Everyone agreed.
As the figures walked out of the conference room one after another, He Yan took over the coat that Tang Xin took off when he came and put it on for him with his own hands.
Tang Xiao rushed to Tang Xin and asked in confusion: "Uncle, just for food, I'm making such a big noise? How much does it cost to build this and that?"
"It's a few hundred million, it probably won't exceed one billion."
Tang Xin said lightly.
Tang Xiao looked dumbfounded.
"It will cost so much?"
Tang Xin patted his head, hooked his neck and walked out, and said tepidly: "Tang Xiao, sometimes spending money requires careful calculations, and sometimes, it is a big investment to produce large output. Researchers at the medical research base are worried about food. Do you know how much impact this is? Hongxin's 14 new drugs have just been launched less than a month, and the domestic sales figures have not yet come out. However, we have made 280 million US dollars from the United Nations. After deducting the cost, the profit is 1.5 billion yuan. I don't spend hundreds of millions at all.
I feel distressed. Before the Chinese New Year, Hongxin Group issued bonuses, so I signed a check of 300 million. Capitalists must learn to exploit. The highest level of exploitation is to make the exploited people feel happy. Think about it, you work for Hongxin and live in a comfortable apartment building. Ten years later, the apartment building belongs to you. You can eat the most reassuring vegetables, pollution-free and pollution-free green food, and the lamb and beef from your own company's ranch. You don't have to worry about the meat quality problems at all, and fruits. Wouldn't you feel happy?"
"Thinking about it this way, it seems good to work for such a company."
Tang Xiao touched his head and felt a little enlightened.
Tang Xin hugged him and just left the conference room door and found Bai Zijie standing by the door.
"Dr. Tang, let's talk about it in private." (To be continued...)
