Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 24 Sanquan Plastic Factory

"Boss Yu, welcome, welcome!"

Although Yu Yang walked over, the plastic factory and the glass factory were only separated by a wall, so he could hear the noise from the other side a long time ago.

I even knew that the glass factory had won a million-dollar order, which not only solved the problem of re-employment of laid-off workers, but also that it was about to increase investment and expand production.

I'm jealous!
The boss of the plastic factory led Yu Yang into the factory and introduced his company's history based on what he had learned in his life.

In the past, the means of production belonged to the whole people.

Sanquan Plastic Factory is naturally also an enterprise that was converted from state-owned to private.

They also face problems such as assets being resold prematurely, laid-off workers being unable to be reemployed, debts from previous years being difficult to settle, and difficulties in paying retirement pensions.

It’s just that the plastic factory was lucky and kept up with the pace of the times.

Just like in the 1970s and 1980s, heavy industry was backward, light industry was not doing well, aluminum products were used to make airplanes, and everyone could only use enamel pots, enamel basins, and iron buckets.

Today, in economically developed cities, lightweight, cheap and easy-to-shape plastic products have become widely used.

Plastic cups, plastic basins, plastic paper, plastic toys, plastic tables and chairs...

Sanquan Plastic Factory survived with difficulty thanks to lunch boxes.

“Although we can operate normally, the raw materials of plastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polystyrene and other particles, are mainly derived from resin, shellac and rosin.”

"The production of these things in our country is relatively small, and most of them need to be imported. We don't have much capital, so we order less, which results in low production and slow profits, and ultimately the company's scale cannot be expanded."

"Plastic products require calenders, bearings, blow molding machines, injection molding machines, extruders, conveyor belts, and even compression molding machines."

"Most of these machines can only produce one product. If you want to change the product style, you have to change the mold."

"Replacing a set of molds can cost thousands or even millions."

"This has become an important reason restricting the development of enterprises."

"However, rest assured, Boss Yu, as long as we get the order, we will customize the molds and add relevant production lines as soon as possible, and there will be no delay in delivery."

Yu Yang nodded and looked at the busy workers.

The scale of the plastic factory is far smaller than that of the glass factory.

Walking into the factory, there are two offices on the left, a carport and six dormitories on the right, and a parking lot in the middle.

And right in front of us are five large tiled houses built with red bricks.

On both sides of the room are piled up numerous bags of plastic pellets, cans of catalysts, barrels of lubricants...

In the middle, from east to west, there are seven or eight old machines with peeling paint.

They all require manual operation and even human assistance. It is hard to see electrified systems, let alone intelligent CNC.

But even so, the minimum estimated value of this equipment will not be less than 50.

If you take into account real estate, land, existing business, etc., you won’t be able to get 60.

This was the business intelligence that Yu Yang obtained after he asked the village chief to inquire through various sources and then asked the director of the glass factory.

A little bit.

After touring the factory, everyone came to the office.

After Yu Yang sat down, he went straight to the point.

"Actually, I came here today to buy our plastics factory."

"This……"

As mentioned before, plastic factories are also having a hard time.

The factory manager hesitated slightly and asked, "What price are you going to offer?"

"When I came here, I already knew that you had owned the plastic factory for seven years, and the equipment was a bit outdated. In the past few years, you mainly produced foam lunch boxes. After the country issued a ban in this regard, your factory purchased new molds and switched to producing instant noodle bowls and fast food boxes made of polystyrene."

"Yes, Boss Yu."

"Well, to be honest with you, I'm in urgent need of a transparent plastic packaging box similar to the material of a mineral water bottle. After taking over your factory, everything will remain the same, and there is a possibility of expanding production in the future."

"I wonder if you are willing to take over the problem we are facing now?"

"It's nothing more than the placement of laid-off workers, pension payments for retirees, and previous debts. All of these are left to me."

The plastic factory manager breathed a sigh of relief. "Since Boss Yu is so forthcoming, I won't beat around the bush. 65, including the factory and the land. You can arrange for someone to verify the capital."

"No need, let's transfer the ownership directly."

Yu Yang was in a hurry to move the things away, so he had no time to verify the capital.

When I heard that the other party's offer was very reasonable, I agreed immediately.

As for the factory and the land...

The purpose is to stay here and wait for the storm to pass before selling it on your own, or to compensate the city of Liao by investing in a vegetable market + transit warehouse.

The director of the plastic factory obviously didn't expect that the factory would be sold with just a few words, so he was a little dazed.

The finance, sales, workshop managers and others who accompanied the negotiation, seeing that they were not unemployed and would work for a more promising big boss in the future, immediately suggested having a quick meal and completing the transaction in the afternoon.

The director of the plastics factory came to his senses and realized that this was indeed the case.

He immediately took out his cell phone, contacted the hotel, and booked a private room. …

A little bit.

Liao City Hotel.

Everyone took their seats one by one.

Serve wine, serve food...

As the landlord, the plastic factory owner started a topic.

"Mr. Yu, excuse me, what do you use the transparent plastic boxes for?"

"Oh!"

Yu Yang was about to explain when he glanced at the dishes on the table and was somewhat surprised that his own bean sprouts were actually sold in Liao City.

He immediately picked up a few pieces with chopsticks and asked, "Try this?"

No one dared to refuse and could only eat first.

Yu Yang: "How does it taste?"

"It's very good, fresh, crisp and fragrant, with a hint of soybean aroma in the mouth." The plastic factory owner boasted, drawing on what he had learned in his life.

"To be honest, these bean sprouts are most likely supplied by my family."

"Ok?"

"There is a highway near my home. Some time ago, a truck delivering vegetables to Walmart in Beijing accidentally flipped over. The truck was carrying all the off-season vegetables and bean sprouts. I took the opportunity to ask how much it cost. Unexpectedly, the driver directly held up five fingers."

"Fifty cents?"

"This amount of money is not even enough for shipping. Five dollars!"

"What the hell!" everyone exclaimed.

Yu Yang continued: "If we use our butts to think, we can also know that there must be money to be made here, and it is a lot of money."

Everyone nodded.

"It just so happened that the driver lost the goods and the car..."

"Why are they all gone?"

"We are a simple and honest people. We believe that what we find is ours."

"..."

"Of course, this is not important. What's important is that the driver didn't dare to go back, so I pulled him to imitate bean sprout planting. Hey, guess what happened?"

"It must have worked!"

"Yes, not only did it work, it became an instant hit. A piece the size of two palms was sold for two yuan, and vegetable vendors from miles around lined up to buy it in bulk."

"Boss Yu, I think you'll get rich."

"Yes, later on, 11 plastic greenhouses were built, and not only the vegetable vendors, but even the trailer owners in the boxing shops switched to reselling bean sprouts."

Before he finished speaking, the boss of the plastic factory slammed the table and said, "Boss Yu, let's not make a deal. I'll give you the plastic factory, but you'll give me the bean sprouts first. When the payment for the goods reaches 65, we'll complete the deal."

"???"

"If you don't agree, I won't sell this factory!"

"..."

The plastic factory owner did not do this on a whim, nor did he plan to change careers based on a few one-sided statements.

But Quanpu is not far from Liao City. If it comes to any transportation-related industry, you will know where to buy the trailer by just a quick chat.

Therefore, he actually knew that the owner of a boxing trailer had gone to sell bean sprouts.

No, it’s the owners of boxing shops who have trailers who are planning to join the industry.

In other words, make some quick money during the winter and near the end of the year.

After all, the trailer has been built and is just sitting there doing nothing, so it might as well be used for transportation.

the most important is.

The plastic factory mainly produces instant noodle bowls and fast food boxes.

I am in contact with instant noodle factories and the catering industry.

Among the products of instant noodle factories, some special flavored noodles use soybean sprouts as kimchi wrappers. If the soybean sprouts are replaced with soybean seedlings, the taste will probably be better and it can also become a selling point.

As for the catering industry, it goes without saying that cooking, cold dishes, soups...

"So we're going to get rich!"

The director of the plastic factory thought about the notes that filled an entire notebook, and the buyers he was very familiar with, as well as the major customer, the instant noodle factory, so he excitedly picked up the wine glass and drank it all by himself.

Then he slammed the glass on the table, "Is that okay?!"

Yu Yang trembled, "Okay, I'll definitely do it!"
