"Okay! Don't show off your fluent Chinese. Who here can't?" Wang Fan gently stretched out his hand and drew a small circle in the air, indicating that people around him were fluent in Chinese.
Mike ignored Wang Fan and said to Ju An and Miles: "The county gave us a plot of land in a high-end community and said we would build our own houses. The location is very good. Are you interested in doing it?" ?".
Ju An blinked after hearing this: "Why did you think of giving me a piece of land to build a house?" Don't talk about others, Ju An himself can't live in his hometown for more than a few days a year, so why do he need the land? Besides, his father and mother are squatting in Montana, and his brother and sister will soon have two children. Went to Canada to study. He shook his head and said, "I'm not interested. If you want it, I'll give it to you." After speaking, he patted Mike on the shoulder and said, "The bigger one will also stay when the rest of us go back to see it."
"Then what do you two say about the two pieces?" Mike looked at Wang Fan and Miles and said.
After hearing this, Miles asked: "I really want that piece of land. I can also tell others in the future that I also have a piece of land in China."
Mike looked at Miles and explained: "The property rights are gone after seventy years. Legally speaking, the county can take back the land."
After hearing this, Miles shook his head and said, "Then I don't want it anymore, you can keep it."
Wang Fan has no interest in the land in Jiangnan, and he is not engaged in real estate in China like others. The last four pieces of land fell into Mike's pocket.
As soon as the opening ceremony of the gallery is over, according to the domestic tradition, it is natural to have a banquet and everyone pays homage to the five internal organs temple. Get some wine to moisten your throat. The place to eat is Niu Qifan's horse farm. After Mike and Miles came over, Ju An and Wang Fan also moved to the racecourse. Of course Wu Ming also followed, and he was considered to be friends with Mike and Miles, the two foreign devils.
The four shareholders of Ju'an, plus the director and district chief naturally sat in a private room, while Wu Ming sat in another private room with some acquaintances.
This meal is quite comfortable. No one is offering wine, so everyone just drinks by themselves. About ten minutes after the banquet started, the director left on the pretext of something else. Before leaving, he naturally encouraged everyone to work hard and strive to make the stall bigger. When shaking hands with Wang Fan, he actually said to Wang Fan, asking him to go to the provincial party committee compound to see his father.
Not long after the director left, District Chief Yan also said that he would go to other tables and let himself and the others chat slowly.
Wang Fan watched Yan Qingdong walk out of the private room, and said with a smile: "I think it's boring to be with us, so I went to find someone to drink with."
Ju An thought for a moment and then laughed. Yan Qingdong's table was unattractive, with two foreigners and a young man. He really didn¡¯t enjoy the drink, so he couldn¡¯t just drink it to himself. He smiled and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we just have a chat?¡± After saying that, he stretched out his chopsticks and took out a shrimp from his own fishery company from the plate in front of him and started to nibble on it.
"I'm going to add another item to our aquatic products. I asked Niu Qifan a few times, and they also said it was good." Mike reached out and wiped his hands on the towel next to him.
"What project?" Ju An asked while chewing shrimps.
"Silverbait and crayfish," Mike scanned Ju An's three faces and asked, "What do you think?"
"Forget about crayfish, there are too many of them. When they come on the market, they will be all over the streets." Wang Fan was chewing a snow-white bullfrog leg with his hand.
Ju An thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "This thing is indeed true. If we have time, we might as well raise more shrimps produced by ourselves."
"Just listen to what I have to say." Mike patted the table gently with his hand, and the two people paid attention.
Ju An quickly raised the shrimp butt in his hand and said, "Okay! Come and listen."
"As for the whitebait, we plan to raise it in our own farm. We can cooperate with others for crayfish. Nowadays, many people around the lake are raising crayfish, and they are basically scattered. In this regard, the county's publicity cannot compare. Neighboring counties, they have all made brands." Mike said with a smile to the three of Ju An, and then continued his idea: "We can integrate some of these resources, we will provide part of the funds, and if you are willing to join, we can make a whole ourselves. According to the plan, we will directly choose the feed from the slaughtering company, so that the quality can be guaranteed. If the quantity is large, we can transport the feed by ourselves. Anyway, the airport in the county is almost ready now, and we have our own sales channels. We can add it directly. Just come in, what do you think?"
Ju An listened to Mike's words, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Your method seems feasible, but in fact it is quite troublesome to do!". There is an old saying that says it¡¯s better to do better than to do it.If you don't make phoenix tails, in this crayfish market now, even small-time people can get along. Who would want your mother-in-law to be your daughter-in-law instead of doing it? As for the feed from the slaughtering company, it is cheap. The whole process is drying and grinding. But when it is shipped to China, a pack is more expensive than domestic feed. It can be sold outside the breeding farm. For what goes out, which farmer is willing to spend more to use your American feed? Although Mike speaks fluent Chinese, his understanding of the domestic situation is still superficial. He did not notice that when the reform was first introduced, foreign chemical companies came in. In just a year or two, similar domestic companies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Most of them were opened by former senior executives of foreign companies who jumped ship on their own.
Then he explained his analysis to Mike and the others, and then said: "If everyone decides to serve crayfish, then we would rather do it ourselves than involve other messy things. The more people we gather, the more likely we are to come in." trouble". The areas near the lake are all farmland, and every one of them is a village. Even though it has been opened for so many years, there are a few people who are fluent in the village or village chiefs and party secretaries who are not from the first surname in the village. The power of the clan is still not small, and the farmers are simple, but don't think they are stupid. When their own interests are involved, they will cause you enough trouble if they make a little mischief for you.
After listening to Ju An's analysis, Wang Fan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "I think An Zi is right, Mike, if you really want to expand the project, just go directly to Zou Zhengwu for the land, and we will invest in it ourselves." .
After hearing the objections from both Ju An and Wang Fan, Mike thought for a moment and said, "If we do it ourselves, the cost will be too high, and the wages of our employees will be very high. In the end, I'm afraid the cost will be close to the current market price. To make such a small profit, it will probably take more than ten years to recover the cost of our own factory. Forget about crayfish, we won¡¯t do it.¡±
"I asked you to set workers' wages so high, and now they are suffering." Wang Fan tapped the microphone twice with the bullfrog leg in his hand.
Ju An smiled inwardly. It turned out that Mike was interested in the low labor costs of these farmers. Now let alone crayfish farming, there are fish farmers. Which one is not a family? There are two The person hired is not only a relative, but also a relative. Nowadays, the wages of workers in breeding companies are only paid by Scorpion Shit in the entire county. If you look through the pay slips of workers, they will be between five and six thousand. You must know that this is a small county, and the house is only more than four thousand per square meter. Vegetables The amount of fish and meat is almost half that of the provincial capital.
As an aquatic product of the great lake in his hometown, Crayfish Ju'an certainly knew that if he didn't join this project, he wouldn't look down on the profits. For example, if you earn 10,000 yuan a month, some people say you can work part-time and earn 1,000 yuan a month. How many Someone who wants to do it.
After Mike gave up the idea of ??cultivating crayfish, Mike continued to follow Ju An and talk about the situation of the aquatic products company.
After listening to what Mike said, Ju An asked Mike: "Will you go back with us this time? It's not a problem to keep Julie in New York."
After hearing this, Mike said: "I will go back to New York in a dozen days. This time I will live in New York for two months before coming here. Anyway, now the aquatic products company basically works step by step every day, and there is nothing wrong. I will go back to New York to accompany my wife and daughter. Take a trip or stay in a villa for a while."
When mentioning the villa, Wang Fan prominently mentioned the record-breaking big fish he caught. Mike and Miles both laughed when they heard this. Wang Fan was just unlucky.
When the topic turned to Wang Fan's big fish, Wu Ming opened the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, he pulled up a chair and sat down. He had a wine glass in his hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other hand, and ate directly. Had two big bites of food.
"Why are you running away from home and not eating well?" Wang Fan looked at Wu Ming and said with a smile.
Wu Ming said while eating: "Don't mention it. I don't even have the time to eat food when drinking with these people. They come one by one. I used this as an excuse to come over and toast, so I escaped. Now Yan District is here The table is sitting on top of the banquet, and the drinking orders are being issued."
The meal lasted until after ten o'clock, before the last table of guests were sent away. Ju'an and the others were in high spirits, but the guests were all stumbling, obviously they had finished drinking.
Early the next morning, all four shareholders of Ju'an were present. They went to the company for a meeting and met with the first batch of employees. They became familiar with each other. Then at noon, naturally, everyone We had a meal together, which was treated as a treat by Ju An and the other four bosses.
The advertisement for the calligraphy and painting competition was sent out yesterday, and a large number of famous judges, as well as bonuses, etc. were announced. It immediately set off a wave of craze, and the number of clicks on the company's website kept scrolling. This day There are nearly one million clicks, which makes Zhao Qifeng full of confidence.
Ju¡¯an isn¡¯t really around??, with a total prize of nearly 6 million, it is strange that no one can participate. Of course, in order to prevent anyone from cheating, the finalist painters have to come to Jiangnan to paint on site, and then the judges will judge the various categories. The big prize is coming.
Everything went well, Mike returned home at around four o'clock in the afternoon, and Ju An, Miles and Wang Fan got on the plane at around seven o'clock and flew across the Pacific Ocean towards Montana.
